Once Upon A Time, Link Between Volcanoes And Climate Crisis (scam) Is Maybe Possibly We Think

By William Teach August 14, 2023 – 3:00 pm

Seriously, at this point what is the difference between “scientists say” and “once upon a time”?

Scientists Find a Possible Connection Between Climate Change and Earthquake Risk

Earth’s climate is changing rapidly. In some areas, escalating temperatures are increasing the frequency and likelihood of wildfires and drought. In others, they are making downpours and storms more intense or accelerating the pace of glacial melting.

No matter what happens it’s your fault, because they also Blame snow, ice, cold weather, etc on Hotcoldwetdry

But research suggests that our changing climate may not solely influence hazards at the Earth’s surface. Climate change — and specifically rising rainfall rates and glacial melting — could also exacerbate dangers beneath the Earth’s surface, such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

“Suggests” is not science. It simply means they have no f’ing idea, they just want to suggest (sic) the link because that’s what’s required from “scientists” these days. A bunch of paragraphs on earthquakes following, till we get to

Evidence from Scandinavia suggests that such an uplift, coupled with the destabilization of the region’s tectonics, triggered numerous earthquake events between 11,000 and 7,000 years ago. Some of these earthquakes even exceeded a magnitude of 8.0 which indicates severe destruction and loss of life. The concern is that the continued melting of glacial ice today could result in similar effects elsewhere.

Research has also found a correlation between glacial-load changes on the Earth’s crust and the occurrence of volcanic activity. Approximately 5,500–4,500 years ago, Earth’s climate briefly cooled, and glaciers began to expand in Iceland. Analysis of volcanic ash deposits spread throughout Europe suggests that volcanic activity in Iceland markedly reduced during this period.

There was a subsequent increase in volcanic activity following the end of this cool period, albeit with a delay of several hundred years.

What fossil fueled vehicles caused that? Why is it different then? And is there more volcanic activity now? Mount Etna in Italy is again going off (check the webcam here): it’s not exactly close to the glacier areas.

Even today, this process is responsible for driving some volcanic activity in Iceland. Eruptions at two volcanoes, Grímsvötn and Katla, consistently occur during the summer period when glaciers retreat.

It’s an island created due to tectonic forces where the North American and European plates meet, hence, volcanoes. This has been going on for around 20 million years. What caused that to happen?

NY Times: Hawaii Fire Fueled By Non-Native Plants

By William Teach August 14, 2023 – 10:30 am

I guess now that the Doom-mongering over the catastrophic fires in Maui were all caused by anthropogenic climate change has been made (and they were made immediately and without any scientific proof), the reality can be written

How Invasive Plants Caused the Maui Fires to Rage

When Hawaii’s last sugar cane plantation shut down in Maui in 2016, it marked the end of an era when sugar reigned supreme in the archipelago’s economy. But the last harvest at the 36,000-acre plantation underscored another pivotal shift: the relentless spread of extremely flammable, nonnative grasses on idled lands where cash crops once flourished.

Varieties like guinea grass, molasses grass and buffel grass — which originated in Africa and were introduced to Hawaii as livestock forage — now occupy nearly a quarter of Hawaii’s landmass. Fast growing when it rains and drought resistant when lands are parched, such grasses are fueling wildfires across Hawaii, including the blaze that claimed at least 93 lives in Maui last week.

“These grasses are highly aggressive, grow very fast and are highly flammable,” said Melissa Chimera, whose grandmother lived on the Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Company’s plantation in Maui after emigrating from the Philippines. “That’s a recipe for fires that are a lot larger and a lot more destructive,” added Ms. Chimera, who now coordinates the Pacific Fire Exchange, a Hawaii-based project sharing fire science among Pacific island governments.

Obviously, the Times goes on to yammer about warming temperatures, which is entirely expected during a Holocene warm period, and that the “dry seasons” are lasting longer. The very fact is, there are dry seasons. And something set the fires off. There was no lightening at the time. I did make the mistake of diving down the rabbit hole in viewing the conspiracy theories of things like DEW (directed energy weapons), bombs, how this is all a land grab. The land grab one is really gaining traction, because the Elites have been trying to buy the area, the government does have plans, and now there are reports about the land being toxic for a long time, meaning the citizens won’t be coming back. Things like why there were no warning sirens and that the water ran out of the fire control systems.

Biden was on vacation for 14 days, came back Tuesday, immediately flew to New Mexico, then Arizona, then Utah, came back to D.C. late Thursday, then back to the beach late Friday. Imagine how the media would respond if this was Trump, or any Republican.

Colorado Climate Cultists Coming After Industry

By William Teach August 14, 2023 – 7:15 am

I can’t wait till the citizens of Colorado who voted for the politicians who pass these laws complain about the rising costs and loss of jobs

Colorado’s Next Big Climate Solution Is Reducing Industry Emissions

Colorado is implementing a groundbreaking plan to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in an often overlooked but critical economic sector— industry. The state is the first to propose such ambitious plans to cut carbon pollution from industry, which includes processes like cement, steel, and chemical production.

Colorado has been a clean energy policy trailblazer for the United States. It was the first state to limit methane pollution from oil and gas wells and set new clean hydrogen standards, and it aggressively expanded geothermal energy generation through new regulations, grants, and consumer education.

Now, the state aims to set a new policy precedent with its proposed GEMM 2 rules (Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Energy Management for Manufacturing Phase 2). GEMM 2 would curb the emissions of major industrial facilities, from breweries to microchip manufacturers, that each emit in excess of 25,000 metric tons of GHGs annually. (snip)

GEMM 2 would tackle the emissions of 18 industrial facilities, including factories owned by Suncor Energy, Molson Coors, and Microchip Technology, with anticipated emissions savings of 14 MMT of CO2 through 2050 (Figure 1). These 18 facilities make up 46% of the emissions burden of Colorado’s large stationary manufacturing sources. (In 2021, GEMM 1 focused on even larger emitters, who made up an additional 36%.) The affected facilities have individual targets based on their own recent emissions history and reduction efforts. Collectively, the targets aim to bring the GEMM 2 facilities’ emissions to 20% under their 2015 emissions levels by 2030.

How many of these companies will decide to move most or all of their operations out of the state, taking their jobs and taxes elsewhere? I doubt the Warmists in the state government care, nor do they care about all the middle and working class folks who will lose their jobs unless they move, and, with the higher cost of housing, it could be difficult.

Surprise: Federal HHS Wants Workers In San Francisco To Work From Home Due To Crime

By William Teach August 14, 2023 – 7:00 am

When the federal government are worried about their employees coming to work in San Francisco, it sure tells you something

Hundreds of government employees in San Francisco told to work from home due to the high levels of crime in the area, report says

Hundreds of employees at the Department of Health and Human Services in San Francisco have been told to work from home due to the high level of crime in the area around its office, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

The department recommended that employees worked remotely “for the foreseeable future,” the report says, citing an August 4 memo sent to staff, a copy of which the Chronicle said it had obtained.

The advice was given to workers “in light of the conditions at the (Federal Building),” Cheryl R. Campbell, assistant secretary for administration at the department, said, per the report.

The Federal Building is located at 90 7th Street in San Francisco, which is known to be a drug hotspot, with dealers often peddling drugs near or across the street from the building, the Chronicle reported.

It’s also in the downtown area, where everything else is slowly closing down, from Walgreens to CVS to Old Navy to Nordstrom to Office Depot to Crate & Barrel to Whole Foods to so many more. Some of which are closing stores, sometimes all of them, across all of SF.

If the video doesn’t show up, you can see it all at this Daily Mail article.

That federal government building also has Nancy Pelosi’s office. Does anyone think she ever shows up there, even with all her security? The Dept of Labor also operates out of the building. You can bet they’ll be telling their employees to work from home. And they’ll all most likely look for a new building far away. The below graphic comes from the Daily Mail article, and you can see where the HHS building is.

Lady Gaga’s Dad Is Not Happy About All The Illegals In SCNY

By William Teach August 13, 2023 – 7:00 am

Why does this matter? Lady Gaga’s dad isn’t exactly a nobody, and he perfectly encapsulates the thoughts of all the Northeast liberal illegal alien supporters, though, there is one caveat

Nolte: Lady Gaga’s Dad Angry Migrants Are Ruining His Fancy NYC Neighborhood

Joe Germanotta, who also happens to be Lady Gaga’s 66-year-old dad, is angry over a migrant surge that’s ruining his precious Upper West Side neighborhood.

And here we have more proof that Gov. Greg Abbott’s (R-TX) brilliant decision to ship these illegals in the thousands to blue cities like New York is pure genius. Believing its distance from the border would protect it forever from the consequences; New York City smugly declared itself a sanctuary city. Abbott, who is dealing with His Fraudulency Joe Biden opening the border, said, Okay, if you want’em, you got ‘em.

And because it’s a helluva lot cheaper to hand these illegals a bus pass or plane ticket than to house them, it’s off to these smug sanctuary cities they go. And now the smugs who smugly declared border states racist for demanding a secure border are getting a glorious taste of their own smug medicine:

Flipping to that NY Post article

Lady Gaga’s dad is leading the charge against unruly migrants living near his Upper West Side home and restaurant — griping they’re flooding the ritzy neighborhood with a constant stream of hookers and other bad behavior.

“If it was like this when my girls were growing up, I wouldn’t be living in New York,” said Joe Germanotta, 66, who is compiling a list of local residents’ concerns to take to lawmakers, the NYPD, and the homeless services in protest. (snip)

Since the arrival of the migrants, the restaurateur said the quality of life in the area has taken a hit, with impromptu block parties outside the hotel that last into the early morning, prostitution, kids getting catcalled, and reckless e-bikes and motor-scooter drivers wreaking havoc on one-way streets.

“There’s now 500 migrants living in that dormitory. That’s when all the mayhem began,” said Germanotta.

Isn’t this what the illegal alien supporters wanted? Or, just wanted for Other Places?

Germanotta claims the chaos has depreciated local property values and said it’s torn at the fabric of a neighborhood that was caught off guard.

Huh. You don’t say

“They’re guests in our neighborhood, and they have basically taken over.”

Sidewalks that used to be mostly clean are now filled with trash, he said.

He was particularly troubled when he started seeing hypodermic needles.

Perhaps he should have a conversation with his daughter, who was a big supporter of Let’s Go Brandon, who’s in charge of allowing unfettered immigration.

He said the group wants to see a written plan — with targets, dates, and objectives — outlining how the order is going to be restored to the affluent neighborhood.

This a very long article, with a lot of great quotes. Why should he get order restored in his neighborhood, when border communities are overrun with illegals. In fairness, that caveat is that he was a Trump supporter. You can bet, though, that the majority of the people in his community and group voted Biden.

Washington Post Says Maui Fires Not Just Due To Hotcoldwetdry

By William Teach August 12, 2023 – 3:00 pm

In other words, they were not your fault

Maui fires not just due to climate change but a ‘compound disaster’

As scientists weigh the influence climate change may have had in fueling Hawaii’s wildfires, there isn’t one standout factor they point to. Rising temperatures likely contributed to the severity of the blaze in several ways. But global warming could not have driven the fires by itself.

Maui is facing a compound disaster, where many different agents acted together to make the fires so horrific. As human influences on the climate and environment grow, the risk of these disasters is escalating.

Cult

Hawaii is, on average, two degrees warmer than it was in 1950, according to state climate data. Scientists said that likely provides the strongest connection between humans’ fossil fuel consumption, which emits greenhouse gases that warm the planet, and the likelihood of fires in Hawaii and elsewhere.

It’s a Holocene warm period on islands that are volcanic.

But scientists have also prominently mentioned the role of non-climate influences in the intensity of the firestorm, such as the introduction of highly combustible nonnative plants, as well as weather patterns that happen naturally.

The hell you say!

But some immediate analyses of the winds observed in Hawaii have found (Hurricane) Dora’s presence may have only increased the gusts’ speed by about 5 mph, Masters said. The high pressure — aided by a flow of hot, dry air from the Southwestern U.S. into the Pacific — could have been enough to stir damaging winds on its own.

As for the drought conditions that covered more than a third of Maui County, where the most destructive fires burned, there is no direct sign that they are the product of climate change, said Abby Frazier, an affiliate faculty member at the University of Hawaii now based at Clark University in Massachusetts.

No one even knows what started the fire. That matters not to the cult, but, if you read between the lines, it has nothing to do with the massive amount of fossil fuels used to bring tourists and goods to the island that is thousands of miles away from the mainland.
