Narrative Fail: Most Greek Wildfires Started By Arsonists

By William Teach July 30, 2023 – 7:00 am

Well, huh, you don’t say

Most fires in Greece were started ‘by human hand’, government says

Most of the 667 fires that have erupted across Greece in recent weeks were started “by human hand”, the country’s senior climate crisis official has said.

As the Mediterranean country emerges from an unprecedented, 15-day period of heatwave-induced infernos, the scale of the destruction is finally being laid bare.

While weather conditions have been different from any other year – with experts calling the first three weeks of July the hottest on record – most of the fires could have been prevented, the government claimed on Friday.

Vassilis Kikilias, the Greek minister of climate crisis and civil protection, told reporters: “During this time 667 fires erupted, that is more than 60 fires a day, almost all over the country. Unfortunately, the majority were ignited by human hand, either by criminal negligence or intent.

So, people were causing them, either intentionally or unintentionally. Obviously, the climate cultists are attempting to make this the fault of ‘climate change’ even with this knowledge, just like they attempted to make it all Your Fault before having any knowledge

He added: “The difference with other years were the weather conditions. Climate change, which yielded a historic and unprecedented heatwave, is here. There were very few days where the extreme weather was not combined with strong winds.”

So, let’s say it was a cool year. People still set the fires. A slight uptick in the global temperatures over 170 years is meaningless, except in Cult World. Heatwaves happen, and have always happened. There were massive heatwaves in the 1930’s. But, now there’s more buildings and infrastructure. There are more eco-loons who stop government from creating fire breaks and wilderness management, from clearing out dead brush.

The next three paragraphs of the article are on ‘climate change’, with the final two being rather important information on people killed by the arson, and people fleeing the arson. But, that information is unimportant to the cult.

Justice Alito To Whiny Congressional Democrats: Stay In Your Lane

By William Teach July 29, 2023 – 3:00 pm

In case you’ve missed it, wackadoodle Congressional Democrats and all their little minion have been whining about the Supreme Court and Demanding a code of ethics and other stuff (though, they didn’t say anything about Sotomayor’s sweetheart deals and such)

From the article

Justice Samuel Alito says Congress lacks the power to impose a code of ethics on the Supreme Court, making him the first member of the court to take a public stand against proposals in Congress to toughen ethics rules for justices in response to increased scrutiny of their activities beyond the bench.

“I know this is a controversial view, but I’m willing to say it. No provision in the Constitution gives them the authority to regulate the Supreme Court—period,” Alito said in an interview he gave to the Wall Street Journal opinion pages. An account of the interview, which the paper said took place in New York in early July, was published Friday.

Democrats last week pushed Supreme Court ethics legislation through a Senate committee, though the bill’s prospects in the full Senate are dim.

Look, the courts have their own code of ethics, but, if Congress is allowed to regulate SCOTUS, then they are no longer an independent branch of the federal government. There are checks and balances, there are ways to deal with serious criminal violations, but, the Court does not answer to Congress, especially partisan boobs attempting to create an issue where one doesn’t exist because the Court is very much Conservative leaning.

Since a goodly chunk of the Congress critters slurring Alito are lawyers, you’d think they’d know this. They do, but they do not care, nor do many of the peons having snit fits. Like AOC, who says Alito is calling himself a king, but should probably focus on her own ethics violations.

Large Portion Of Millennials Think People Should Be Charged Criminally For Misgendering

By William Teach July 29, 2023 – 10:30 am

How often do you actually use pronouns when interacting with someone? Do you call them by their name instead? It is a very, very silly time in history

Poll: Millennials Say ‘Misgendering’ Should Be a Crime, Gen Z Disagrees

A strong percentage of millennial Americans (ages 25-34) are in favor of catering to the whims of sex-confused individuals by making adherence to biological reality in language a criminal offense, new polling conducted for Newsweek found.

In left-wing terms, 44 percent of millennials think “referring to someone by the wrong gender pronoun (he/him, she/her) should be a criminal offense.” The official term is “misgendering,” which gender ideology enthusiasts define as using pronouns that misalign with the identity of a person who believes they are transgender. For example, within this framework, it would be considered “misgendering” to call a man “he/him” if he identifies as a woman and demands to be called “she/her.”

Thirty-one percent of millennials in the survey reject the idea of making “misgendering” a criminal offense, and the remainder “neither agree nor disagree” or “don’t know.”

“This view remains popular for those aged 35-44, among whom 38 percent think misgendering should be illegal, whilst 35 percent disagree and 26 percent either don’t know or didn’t express an opinion,” according to Newsweek.

Can we get 85% of Boomers and Gen X to agree that anyone who loses their minds over the itty bitty issue of misgendering should be given 30 hours of community service, and that service should be all about manual labor? Digging ditches, cleaning up garbage, painting, etc, and restricted from using their smartphones until the community service is completed.

Anyhow, Gen Z, which is more and more accepting that there are only two genders, drops down to 33% believing it should be criminalized. Which is still too much. The number should be zero. They’re just words, there’s no threat.

Ultimately, Americans as a whole overwhelmingly reject the idea of making “misgendering” a criminal offense. Sixty-five percent disagree with making it a criminal offense, 19 percent agree, 12 percent neither agree nor disagree, and four percent “don’t know.”

So, overall, 19% are raving wackjobs who are too sensitive to be in public. It’s fine when a child does it, they have no filter and no emotional control, not an adult. Well, not necessarily fine, it’s annoying when a kids loses it in public, but, it’s understandable. Of course, to Leftists, and Millennials, words literally are violence.

Cool: The Era Of Global Boiling Has Arrived Or Something

By William Teach July 29, 2023 – 7:15 am

Leave it to the UK Guardian to turn the amplifier up to 11

‘Era of global boiling has arrived,’ says UN chief as July set to be hottest month on record

The era of global warming has ended and “the era of global boiling has arrived”, the UN secretary general, António Guterres, has said after scientists confirmed July was on track to be the world’s hottest month on record.

“Climate change is here. It is terrifying. And it is just the beginning,” Guterres said. “It is still possible to limit global temperature rise to 1.5C [above pre-industrial levels], and avoid the very worst of climate change. But only with dramatic, immediate climate action.”

“Humanity is in the hot seat,” Guterres told a press conference on Thursday. “For vast parts of North America, Asia, Africa and Europe, it is a cruel summer. For the entire planet, it is a disaster. And for scientists, it is unequivocal – humans are to blame.

Of course they want all fossil fuel production ended, but, then, how would the climate cult elites like Guterres travel around the world in their private jets?

Excitable Kamala Admits Bidenomics Isn’t Working

By William Teach July 29, 2023 – 7:00 am

Unfortunately for Kamala, she didn’t give a typical wordsalad, but, said the quiet part about Bidenomics outloud

Harris slammed for saying most can’t afford a $400 surprise expense: ‘Yeah, that’s called Bidenomics’

Vice President Kamala Harris was blasted on social media over a claim that most Americans would go “bankrupt” from an unexpected $400 expense while she was lamenting how difficult it is for women in America to get abortions.

While speaking at a moderated discussion on “reproductive rights” in Iowa on Friday, Harris spoke at length about how women in Iowa will endure economic hardship traveling to other states for a legal abortion post-Roe v. Wade if a court allows a state abortion bill to take effect.

“If she is a single parent, she’s going to have to be able to pay for that childcare,” Harris said. “She’s going to lose time for work. Maybe she has paid family leave. Maybe she doesn’t. Maybe she has paid sick leave. Maybe she doesn’t. She will have to be able to pay for a plane, train, bus, gas. Most Americans are a $400 unexpected expense away from bankruptcy.”

The quote was immediately criticized by conservatives on social media who suggested that any economic hardship for the average American is a result of President Biden’s policies after more than two years in office.

“Yeah, that’s called Bidenomics and it’s a problem,” GOP presidential candidate Sen. Tim Scott responded. “Americans have lost $10,000 in spending power because of the Biden-Harris agenda.”

Biden-Harris have been in office for two and a half years, and, so far inflation had raged, prices have gone up on food and goods, energy has skyrocketed, and, who gets hurt the most? The middle and working classes. Those who are getting millions making deals with China and Ukraine by using their political positions aren’t bothered at all.

It really is what they want. If you haven’t been paying attention the Progressives want everyone beholden to government. Then government takes care of them and they vote Democrat. It’s a vicious cycle.

Your Fault: Up To 700 Plant Species Could Be Eradicated

By William Teach July 28, 2023 – 3:00 pm

It’s always some prognostication of doom which is rather open ended with a “if we Do Something this won’t happen”

Climate change could wipe out more than 700 plant and lichen species

All plants and lichens listed under the Endangered Species Act are sensitive to global warming – but there are few plans in place to address the threat directly, say scientists.

Climate change is forecast to have a massive impact on species around the world, especially endangered ones, which are already rare.

A majority of the organisms listed under the Endangered Species Act are plants and lichen.

But researchers found that the risk that climate change poses to endangered plants has not been systematically evaluated in over a decade.

Researchers at Pennsylvania State University adapted existing assessment tools used to examine the threat of climate change for wild animals and applied them to 771 listed plant species.

It’s like plants and lichen have never adapted, including the various cool and warm swings during the Holocene.

The team urged that their findings, published in the journal PLOS Climate, should be used to aid in conservation planning for endangered plants and lichens and to inform future recommendations for listing species and planning their recovery.

Looks more like Spreading Awareness than science. And the study itself looks like “hey, let’s find a way to do something and involve ‘climate change'”.
