Your Fault: Global Boiling Could Kill 1 Billion Poor People

By William Teach August 31, 2023 – 7:15 am

The climate cult is really ramping up the fear-mongering. But, we can solve this with a tax and your giving up your freedom!

Climate change could result in the deaths of 1 billion poor people

Sherman Potter Bull CookiesHuman-induced climate change could lead to the premature deaths of around one billion people in the next century, according to a study.

If global warming reaches or surpasses 2°C this century, it’s projected that predominantly wealthier people will be linked to the deaths of approximately 1 billion people with lower incomes, a situation that bears a resemblance to cases of involuntary or negligent manslaughter, a study published in the Future of Energy Policy says.

“If you take the scientific consensus of the 1,000-ton rule seriously and run the numbers, anthropogenic global warming equates to a billion premature dead bodies over the next century. Obviously, we have to act. And we have to act fast,” said one of the study writers, Joshua Pearce.

The “1,000-ton rule” suggests that about one early death might occur for every 1,000 tons of fossil carbon burned.

These people are shameless, and WKBW Buffalo, and all other outlets who ran this article, are completely derelict in their journalistic standards running this piece of doom. There’s zero chance of hitting 2C this century. Poor people are more likely to die from the climate cult policies being implemented by those same rich folks. Like this guy

This would be the same guy who takes a fossil fueled trip involving helicopters, jumbo jets, fighter jets, and low MPG limos and SUVs almost every weekend. He could drive an EV home in around 2 hours. Or, at least just take a helicopter.

Experts Start To Push Masking Again

By William Teach August 31, 2023 – 7:00 am

They can piss right off

Should we wear masks again? Covid guidelines experts recommend

The uptick of Covid transmissions this summer has raised questions about whether or not certain safety measures such as wearing masks should be brought back.

Several companies and schools nationwide decided to reinstate Covid mask mandates in light of the rising hospitalisations including Morris Brown College in Atlanta, Lionsgate headquarters in Los Angeles, Kaiser Permanente across all California locations, and several hospitals in the state of New York. Workers and attendees at these locations are now required to wear masks upon entry.

“It is ticking up a little bit, but it’s not something that we need to raise any alarm bells over,” Dr David Dowdy, an infectious disease epidemiologist at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, told the Seattle Times. Although many health experts like Dr Dowdy don’t believe people have cause to worry, some have expressed their concerns.

While many people have forgone wearing masks, UC San Francisco infectious diseases expert, Dr Peter Chin-Hong, cautioned the Los Angeles Times that swearing off masks for good would put people at higher risk of contracting the virus, elaborating: “Right now, when things are heating up all around the country with Covid, you might want to think about [masking at] public transit and airports.”

No. Just no. People aren’t buying this stuff anymore. Well, most aren’t, there’s always a few. We all know masks do not work. Study after study shows this. If the Powers That Be try this again, most will refuse.

As new BA.2.86 COVID variant emerges, America lifts middle finger to the same old mandates

“We’re at an inflection point,” said CNN chief medical correspondent, Dr. Sanjay Gupta.

More and more public-health officials are dusting off their old face masks and encouraging Americans to do the same for the new BA.2.86 variant of COVID-19, he explained.

Hearing that, Meghan McCain went to social media and spoke for an entire nation: “Uh no, we ain’t starting this s— again.”

McCain isn’t some right-wing reactionary. She’s not QAnon. She’s not a wrapped-in-the-flag freedom marcher. On this issue she is very much mainstream.

Her point is that the COVID-19 endemic will be much different than the pandemic. Americans are a lot wiser now about this pathogen and the people who tried to manage it the last time around.

Yes, we are wiser. Most of us, anyhow. Virtually nothing they forced on the public made a damned but of difference.

Will the New COVID-19 Vaccine Work Against the BA.2.86 Variant?

Well, the others barely worked, so, should we expect better with this one?

Climate Cultists Protest At Burning Man

By William Teach August 30, 2023 – 3:17 pm

Vox actually has a point about the Warmists having a point

Burning Man’s climate protesters have a point

climate cowSunday was not a fun day for the thousands of people on their way to Burning Man. In the days leading up to the bacchanal, traffic is typically a nightmare on the two-lane highway that leads to the barren former lake bed in the Black Rock Desert, a national conservation area that, for a week every year, becomes known as Black Rock City, population 80,000.

But this year, a small group of climate protesters parked a 28-foot trailer across the road, causing miles of gridlock. Seven Circles, a coalition of organizations that includes Extinction Rebellion and Rave Revolution, made some simple demands of the Burning Man Organization, which hosts the annual desert party: “Ban private jets, single-use plastics, unnecessary propane burning, and unlimited generator use per capita at the nine day event in Black Rock City, Nevada.” There were also calls for the organization to mobilize its members “to initiate systemic change.” But the ban on private jets — that seems pretty straightforward.

“Burning Man should aim to have the same type of political impact that Woodstock had on counterculture,” Mun Chong, an organizer with Extinction Rebellion, said in a statement. “If we are honest about system change, it needs to start at ‘home.’ Ban the lowest-hanging fruit immediately: private jets.”

The protesters, it deserves to be said, had a point: Burning Man is famously bad for the planet.

It is, it really is, and you can bet most of these young folks, as well as all the older performers who show up, Believe in global boiling

The many tens of thousands of people the event attracts must travel through some of the most remote parts of the country to a destination where there are few natural resources, where everything gets trucked in, and where vast structures are lit ablaze on the last night of the festival, pumping carbon-filled smoke into the atmosphere. But over 90 percent of the event’s carbon footprint comes not from the fires themselves but from travel to and from Black Rock City, according to a 2020 environmental sustainability report from the Burning Man Organization. Another 5 percent comes from gas- and diesel-burning generators that keep lights and air conditioners on during the festival.

So, why ban private planes? The vast majority are not flying private, but, commercial, as well as all the fossil fueled vehicles to get to and from the airport, along with those who simply take long, fossil fueled auto trips. How about all fast fashion the people buy to wear there once, then discard? All the wasted food? All the water and alcohol trucked in? Yet all these Warmists refuse to practice what they preach

There’s a long string of videos from that Tweet, but, I wonder, why is no one asking how the Warmists themselves traveled to Burning Man?

Republicans Rip Biden Over Using Alias For Official Government Emails

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

They can rage all the want: what are they going to do about it?

Exclusive: GOP Lawmakers Rip Joe Biden for Using Email Alias to Conduct Family Business

Republican lawmakers expressed deep concern on Tuesday after reports surfaced of then-President Joe Biden using email aliases to conduct family business.

Joe Biden used the aliases — “Robert Peters,” “Robin Ware,” and “JRB Ware” — to share government information and discuss business with Hunter Biden and associates, according to the Southeastern Legal Foundation, which filed a lawsuit to compel the National Archives (NARA) to turn over the emails.

In one email sent to Joe Biden in 2016, “Robert L. Peters” received a message that cc’d Hunter Biden about Ukraine. The email includes an attachment with the vice president’s schedule, indicating that he had spoken by phone to then-Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko.

“There is more than enough evidence to open an inquiry into Biden Corruption LLC,” House Judiciary Committee member Harriet Hageman exclusively told Breitbart News. “Months ago, I made clear that an impeachment inquiry into the President should be opened and since then we’ve only seen more evidence to support it.”

There’s not one good reason for a government official, including the Vice President, to be using one alias, much less multiple ones, for government business.

The Archives repeatedly refused to provide the emails and records linked to Joe Biden’s aliases. The Southeastern Legal Foundation first filed the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Archives for Biden’s emails in 2021. Two years later, it renewed the request, but the Archives “failed to produce a single one of these emails,” the foundation said.

The Southeastern Legal Foundation Archives revealed Monday that the Archives acknowledged the emails and records exist after it filed a lawsuit to compel the agency to turn over the emails and records.

“Obama should allow NARA to release the 5,100 email messages and 200 pages of records,” Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) told Breitbart News. “I’ve been researching Joe Biden’s use of private emails since 2021. Three letters to the Biden White House have gone unanswered, and NARA provided the usual non-response response.”

Obama will never agree to this, unless he’s convinced that it is bad for Joe to be the 2024 candidate. What will the GOP do about the Archives? Why are these records being kept secret? They cannot be national security material. Do we no longer have an open government? Where is the Credentialed Media? In days past they would be smelling blood in the water and would be all over this. The use of an alias and/or non-governmental email account is, at best, a massive violation of federal government policy, and most likely a criminal violation of record keeping law.

GOP House Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (R-NY) also echoed Sen. Johnson’s concern. “The National Archives must immediately release these emails,” she said. “The American people have a right to know how compromised Joe Biden is.”

What are you going to do about it? Less talk, more action.

UN Super Excited To Help Kids Sue Over Global Boiling

By William Teach August 30, 2023 – 7:15 am

The United Nations, full of con artists, shady dictators, and authoritarians, wouldn’t have any sort of ulterior motive, would they?

UN seeks to help children battling climate change in court

A United Nations body on Monday updated a key treaty designed to protect children’s rights to strengthen their hand in fighting climate change, as they emerge at the forefront of the battle to protect the planet.

From wildfires in Portugal to fossil fuel projects in the U.S. state of Montana, young plaintiffs have been taking the lead in a burgeoning number of lawsuits seeking more government action on climate change.

In the document, the U.N. Committee on the Rights of the Child calls environmental degradation, including the climate crisis, “a form of structural violence against children”.

It says that states should provide access to justice for children, including through “removing barriers for children to initiate proceedings themselves”.

“This could definitely strengthen their hand because now there’s a fully articulated set of guidance that pulls everything together in one place,” said Ann Skelton, chair of the committee and a South African lawyer, adding that she also hoped businesses and policy makers would draw on the document.

You know the old saying about following the money, right? Well, what about following the power? Progressives love the notion of more power to dictate how Other People live their lives, as long as they do not have to live the lives they force everyone else to live. Do you see them reducing their own carbon footprints? Hell no.

Some 16,000 children across more than 100 countries were consulted as part of a broader dialogue during the two-year drafting period for the guidelines. Tânia dos Santos Maia, a 14-year-old from Brazil, said she expected the U.N. document to make children and adolescents more aware of their rights.

The guidance was broadly welcomed, however, some say it does not go far enough. Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg asked the committee “to be more vigorous and somewhat bolder” during consultations, U.N. committee member Philip Jaffé told Reuters. Thunberg was not immediately available for comment via a spokesperson.

Do these kiddies have any idea that they are simply Useful Idiots, following the dictates of rich and/or powerful people who are looking for more and more power, and will reduce the lives of those same kiddies? That the kiddies are willingly giving up their liberty and freedom?

Blue On Blue: Mayor Of SCNY Barks At Illegal Loving NY Governor

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

It is simply amazing what happens when believers in unfettered illegal immigration actually have to deal with the consequences of their beliefs, eh?

Adams condemns Hochul’s handling of New York migrant crisis as ‘wrong’

New York City Mayor Eric Adams on Tuesday knocked Gov. Kathy Hochul’s handling of the migrant crisis, offering his sharpest critique of his partner in government.

Adams was, in particular, critical of Hochul’s stance that the city should limit its movement of migrants to other parts of New York, especially without the consent and coordination of local leaders.

“I think the governor’s wrong,” the mayor said. “She’s the governor of the state of New York. New York City is in that state. Every county in this state should be part of this.”

Adams has recently urged Hochul to issue a statewide order that would bar municipalities from trying to block the arrival of migrants through local edicts. Hochul has rejected the concept, saying migrants should not be forced on other counties and, separately, arguing the right to shelter mandate that requires people who are homeless, including migrants, to be provided housing doesn’t apply beyond the five boroughs.

There are actually quite a few areas of the state of NY that vote Republican, and are not interested in being the recipients of all the illegal aliens/migrants, especially the young males. They aren’t interested in the crime, drugs, loud music, and prostitution. Why not send lots of illegals to the areas of NY that have declared themselves sanctuary areas? And, since NYC has declared itself a sanctuary city, why not just put their beliefs where their mouths are and support all the illegals themselves?

You can bet Hochul is catching an absolute earful from the residents and officials in the non-sanctuary areas, as well as from the Republicans in the general assembly. I wonder if Adams has considered sending illegals to Albany, which is also a declared sanctuary city?

Adams spoke Tuesday in a “fireside conversation” hosted by the New York Law School and the Center for New York City Law.

“This is a real leadership moment,” he said of the governor, who he separately praised for steps to improve subway safety. “And all those counties — we are the economic engine of this state. New York goes down. The entire state goes down.”

So, is he stating for the record that all that illegal immigration is bad for the economy? Huh.

Reversing A Slight Increase In Global Temperatures Over 170 Years Will Take All Of Us Or Something

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

It’s always interesting when one of the Warmists tell us we have to Do Something, yet, they never tell us what they’ve done themselves. In this case, Delaware Sen. Elizabeth “Tizzy” Lockman

Reversing harm of climate change will take all of us

Extreme heat. Smoke-filled skies. Violent storms and deadly flash floods. Record-breaking ocean temperatures.

Clear signs of a worsening climate crisis seem to be everywhere this summer, along with the threats they pose to the health and safety of our family, friends and neighbors.

Make no mistake, the risk to our communities is real. A recent study by Moody’s Analytics found that Delaware faces one of the highest threats of disaster due to climate change, behind only Florida, Louisiana and the Carolinas. We are also the fourth-fastest warming state – tied with Arizona, which includes the Sonoran Desert.

It’s so dangerous that Joe Biden bought a house at the beach

Black families are already at greater risk of seeing their children develop asthma, being forced from their homes due to flooding and losing a loved one due to extreme heat – all of which will only worsen as the climate warms.

It’s almost required these days to through some race-baiting in

How we got here is obvious: Fossil fuel companies polluted our climate, air and water for decades, while spreading disinformation about their products and fighting clean energy alternatives. Even now as we suffer through record-high temperatures, they are raking in billions of dollars in record-high profits.

Thanks to Attorney General Kathy Jennings, Delaware is helping lead the charge in holding these polluters accountable. In 2020, the attorney general’s office filed a potentially landmark lawsuit against more than two dozen major oil and gas companies – including ExxonMobil, BP, Shell and Chevron – to make them “pay for the mess they’ve made.” Our state’s fight to put these companies on trial won a major boost recently, when the U.S. Supreme Court turned down Big Oil’s request to stop the case from moving forward in state court, where a jury of Delaware residents would hear it.

Has Tizzy and the rest of her fellow Delaware Warmists given up their own use of fossil fuels? Perhaps she should talk with Joe about how much he uses to travel to Delaware most weekends.

The Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control recently created an environmental justice administrator position to serve as a liaison between historically underserved communities and the state’s lead environmental agency.

My colleagues and I are working with DNREC to stand up a panel of community members and environmental justice experts capable of advising the State of Delaware on how best to address current and historic injustices, much like the White House Environmental Justice Advisory Council at the federal level.

So, this is not science, it’s politics. No surprise there. How does any of this help “reverse the harm of ‘climate change'”? None of this would stop the slight rise in temperatures even if it was mostly/solely caused by Mankind.

Maine’s puffins recover despite climate change

The story is a video, but, the headline is hilarious: “despite.” Damned nature not cooperating with the climate cult beliefs.

Some farmers see no climate change: ‘Every year the weather impacts us’

It’s paywalled pretty hard, but, they’re right: the weather is not the same every year.

Shooting At UNC Chapel Hill: Police Not Identifying Suspect, Can’t Find Gun

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

I have yet to run across any article that notes one very important piece of information. And possibly a second

(CNN) A suspect is in custody but police still are looking for the weapon and the motive behind the fatal shooting of a faculty member at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill on Monday afternoon.

Neither the victim nor the assailant has been identified after the early afternoon shooting sent the university with more than 30,000 students into lockdown for hours. The suspect was detained about 90 minutes after the gunfire interrupted activities at the school’s Caudill Laboratories, a chemistry studies building.

“We want to ensure that we gather every piece of evidence to determine exactly what happened here today and why it happened,” UNC Police Chief Brian James said at a news conference Monday evening. “It is too early in this investigation to know a motive for the shooting.”

Detectives won’t get clues into the motive until they speak with the suspect, he added.

I wonder if we’ll find out the motive if it is Inconvenient

Investigators have not found the firearm that was used in the shooting and it’s not known whether it was legally obtained, James said.

The suspect was taken into custody shortly after 2:30 p.m., Guskiewicz said. The university continued in lockdown for a couple hours after the suspect was detained because authorities were working to confirm they had the right person and trying to find the firearm that was used, James told reporters.

The first piece of important information is that it is against North Carolina law for anyone except authorized law enforcement to carry a firearm on any school property, or even within proximity to a school

The shooter was already breaking two laws, murder and carrying a firearm on school grounds. What common sense gun laws would stop that? And then (below more tag)
