Climate Cult Still Wants To Take Advantage Of COVID19 Misery To Push Their “Solutions”

By William Teach December 6, 2020 – 5:23 pm

Nothing says “we care, we really do!” like taking advantage of people’s misery, fear, sickness, and death

COVID-19 recovery is an opportunity to tackle worsening climate crisis: New report

We are at a moment of overlapping planetary health emergencies: COVID-19 and climate change. Both have their origins at the intersection of humanity and the rest of the natural world, both exacerbate pre-existing health inequities and both have the ability to bring health systems and economies to their knees.

The health impacts of COVID-19 are well-known — those of climate change less so. A new report by the Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change, an international collaboration among 38 leading academic institutions and U.N. agencies, shows that as the globe warms humans are experiencing increasing heat emergencies, wildfires, severe weather, trouble with food yields and potential for novel infectious diseases.

Watts Up With That? beats up on the horrendous report, and, let’s not forget that The Lancet went for a hard left turn back during the Iraq War, publishing an easily debunked statistical study in 2006 claiming there were over 655,000 Iraqi deaths since the start of the war, a really big shoddy piece of “science” which was nevertheless broadcast by the Credentialed Media as Holy Writ.

We need to “multisolve” — manage COVID-19 and climate change at the same time, looking for the sweet spots where a single measure can deliver the triple-win of improving public health, contributing to a sustainable economy and reducing the drivers of future crises.

I wonder how they intend to do this? They nip around the edges, but, never really answer

With climate set to drive further health-related emergencies as well as economic crises a shift from a culture of efficiency to one of resiliency is required. We could decrease our healthcare-related footprint and reduce the risk of supply disruption by switching to reusable medical supplies such as gowns and blood pressure cuffs.

You getting healthcare is also bad for the climate (another crappy Lancent study). It would be so much easier if billions of you would just die, right?

The proposed national formulary, a good first step towards a pharmacare system, can also serve as a list of essential medicines considered for domestic production. Co-ordinated work between the public and the private sector, potentially including the creation of new crown corporations, could help ensure supply of critical items, as it did during the Second World War.

Hmm, so, government in charge, eh? Wouldn’t you feel great if government was in charge of your medicines? And I bet you feel great about using a global pandemic to push a cult, right?

By Blaming Thanksgiving, COVID Lockdowners Set Stage For Christmas Bans

By William Teach December 6, 2020 – 7:54 am

While it was a nice theory to think that COVID would end if China Joe won, the reality is that COVID is still around, masks don’t work, and Modern Socialists (who are Authoritarians) love them some authoritarianism. They love Government dictating how people live their lives, and a lot of them have a big problem with the Christian religion, meaning Christmas is on the hit list. They also have a problem with Jews, so, watch to see what they try and do for Hanukah leading up to Christmas

US reported more than 10,000 Covid-19 deaths in four days. And the impacts of Thanksgiving will only make things worse, experts warn

Covid-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths are at record-high levels nationwide, and officials expect the US will soon bear the full brunt of another surge of infections fueled by Thanksgiving gatherings.

“We have not yet seen the full effect of a potential surge upon a surge,” Dr. Anthony Fauci told CNN Friday night. “The travel associated with Thanksgiving, the congregating at family and social gatherings with people indoors, sometimes without masks. So that may peak two to three weeks from now.”

And that surge will come right as travel and social gatherings will likely pick up again for the Christmas holiday. (snip)

So far, more than 278,800 people have lost their lives to the virus in the US since the pandemic’s start. The IHME predicts there will be about another 260,000 American deaths over the next four months.

So, expect to see some big time restrictions for Christmas. We’re already seeing big lockdowns in California and a few other places (I’m guessing masks don’t work, unless it is due to all the exemptions for things like the entertainment industry and pet projects). This is setting the stage to create the fear about deaths so people Comply with lockdowns, losing their businesses (even more), and doing what Government tells you to do. The thing is, while people may protest, most businesses will comply, at least in the minimum. They won’t risk being fined.

“Vaccines and vaccination will add a major, major, powerful tool to the tool kit that we have,” Dr. Michael Ryan, the executive director of the World Health Organization’s Health Emergencies Programme, said. “But by themselves they will not do the job.”

Even the vaccines, which won’t really be getting to most Americans till sometime mid-year 2021, will likewise not provide the relief to get Government off our backs. Because they are taken advantage of this for their Big Government dominance.

‘Climate Change’ Could Cause Sleep Problems Or Something

By William Teach December 5, 2020 – 3:00 pm

This is rather a new one. I’m surprised it hasn’t spread around through the Credentialed Media climate cult members, as it is a ready made bit of scaremongering

‘Already in short supply’: How climate change could chip away at sleep health

climate change joke

In October 2015, Nick Obradovich was living in San Diego when an intense heatwave smothered Southern California, with temperatures spiking to 99 degrees during the day and hovering in the mid-70s at night — nearly eight degrees warmer than an average October.

“I was hot and grumpy,” he said. “I just wasn’t getting much sleep with the nights not getting as cool as they normally would be.”

Air conditioning?

With nighttime temperatures on the rise due to climate change, Obradovich, then a graduate student at the University of California, San Diego, wondered if others were sleeping as poorly as he was, particularly people like him who didn’t have air conditioning. So he started digging through the data. Not only did he find a correlation between rising ambient temperatures and disturbed sleep among U.S. residents, but in a recent global analysis of sleep data from fitness band users, Obradovich and his colleagues also found people were sleeping less on unusually warm nights.

That rise is primarily happening in urbanized areas, known as the Urban Heat Island Effect, which is a local issue, not global

So far, the amount of sleep people are losing to hotter temperatures remains minimal. But it’s a problem some experts predict will likely get worse in the years to come — and warrants attention sooner rather than later.

See, it’s not really happening, but, doom is coming soon! The rest of the article attempts to prove that Doom will be coming soon. We can fix this with a tax and a lockdown, right?

Insane: Federal Judge Orders DACA Restored In Full

By William Teach December 5, 2020 – 10:30 am

This really is insane: you have a program created via Presidential fiat, one with no power of the Constitution, one which was not authorized by the Legislative Branch, one which was called un-Constitutional by Barack Obama who initiated it. These people have no legal access to staying in this country. Yet

Federal Judge Orders Trump Administration to Restore DACA Program for ‘Dreamers’

A federal judge in Brooklyn, New York, ordered the Trump Administration Friday to fully restore the so-called Dreamers program that protects undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children.

U.S. District Judge Nicholas Garaufis directed the Department of Homeland Security to post by Monday a public notice that it will accept petitions for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which hasn’t accepted new applicants since 2017.

In June, the Supreme Court blocked the administration from ending the initiative that shields hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants from deportation and lets them seek jobs.

The high court said the administration didn’t adequately consider its options or the implications before rescinding DACA. The court also left open the possibility for President Donald Trump to attempt to terminate the program.

How, exactly, do you get rid of a program which unlawfully gives illegal aliens the ability to stay, which is essentially a stealth amnesty? Of course, we can give thanks to John Roberts for being his squishy self. There is no program. It was never authorized. And it seems it will never go away. And the recipients will soon demand full citizenship.

Climate Cult “Experts” Want Biden To Force 50 Million Kids To Learn About Climate Crisis (scam)

By William Teach December 5, 2020 – 7:19 am

This sounds awesome, federally formalized indoctrination

Experts tell Biden to teach 50 million American children about climate crisis in classrooms

This summer, New Jersey became the first state in the country to mandate climate change education in public schools. Now, advocates are urging President-elect Joe Biden to make sure other states do the same.

“With over 50 million children enrolled in public schools, education can help prepare children and youth to advance a more sustainable world. Whether future engineers, solar installers, business leaders, farmers, or policymakers, the next generation will face the impacts of climate change,” wrote former education secretary John King and New Jersey Gov. Christine Whitman, who also served as administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency under President Bush. The open letter was also signed by former education secretary Arne Duncan and other former Cabinet members as well as scholars and climate activists.

Gotta love the notion of elitists who do not practice what they preach (remember the Glenn Reynolds thing “I’ll believe it’s a crisis when the people who tell me it’s a crisis act like it’s a crisis by changing their own lives”) trying to get China Joe to force all schools to teach a cult. Hey, if it’s so bad, let’s remove heat and AC from the schools, and get rid of school buses. As a start, right?

But while more than 80 percent of parents supported students learning about climate change in a NPR and Ipsos poll last year, more than half of teachers in the same survey said they never talked about climate change in their classrooms.

Perhaps the kids should learn actual real world skills? Perhaps they should be taught things and advised against taking out huge loans for mostly worthless college degrees? If they really want to do something important, how about nudging women and blacks towards stem programs? That’s the kind of SJW stuff that would make a difference.

While education could be part of the solution to climate change, it’s also part of the problem. Counting the carbon footprint of 98,000 schools, 480,000 primarily diesel school buses and more than 7 billion meals served in school cafeterias, the public education system has a significant environmental impact, the letter said.

Take it all away! Along with Joe Biden’s fossil fueled planes and vehicles.

Let’s face it, this is a way to make more climate cultists, who are willing to give up their own liberty, freedom, money, and choice to Government.

UN Warns 2021 Will Be A Catastrophe, Appears To Want Control Of Vaccine Distribution

By William Teach December 5, 2020 – 7:07 am

The United Nations thinks they still have the power to compel in a world that, let’s face it, is seeing each nation, particularly in the 1st World, look at their own nation first. With Coronavirus raging, think that Germany, France, England, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and so many more aren’t worried about their own nations 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th? And they will be priotizing vaccination for their citizens and recovery for their countries the same

U.N. warns 2021 shaping up to be a humanitarian catastrophe

Next year is shaping up to be a humanitarian catastrophe and rich countries must not trample poor countries in a “stampede for vaccines” to combat the coronavirus pandemic, top U.N. officials told the 193-member U.N. General Assembly on Friday.

World Food Programme (WFP) chief David Beasley and World Health Organization (WHO) head Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus spoke during a special meeting on COVID-19, which emerged in China late last year and has so far infected 65 million globally.

The pandemic, measures taken by countries to try to stop its spread and the economic impact have fueled a 40% increase in the number of people needing humanitarian help, the United Nations said earlier this week. It has appealed for $35 billion in aid funding.

“2021 is literally going to be catastrophic based on what we’re seeing at this stage of the game,” said Beasley, adding that for a dozen countries, famine is “knocking on the door.”

He said 2021 was likely to be “the worst humanitarian crisis year since the beginning of the United Nations” 75 years ago and “we’re not going to be able to fund everything … so we have to prioritize, as I say, the icebergs in front of the Titanic.”

Well, there are lots of things they can set aside in 2021. They can get rid of their climate change scam funding. All those climate change conferences. They could spend a lot less on needless travel and bureaucrats. Perhaps stop giving so much money that ends up in the pockets of dictators and governments rather than helping citizens. The UN Peacekeepers program is a disaster, what with all the rapes and property theft.

U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and his top officials have also called for COVID-19 vaccines to be made available to all and for rich countries to help developing countries combat and recover from the pandemic.

Tedros appealed for an immediate injection of $4.3 billion into a world vaccine-sharing program.

“We simply cannot accept a world in which the poor and marginalized are trampled by the rich and powerful in the stampede for vaccines,” Tedros told the General Assembly. “This is a global crisis and the solutions must be shared equitably as global public goods.”

That’s nice and all, but, America should worry about Americans being vaccinated first. Germany should worry about Germans. India should worry about Indians, etc and so on. If the U.N. wants some extra cash, why not hit up their buddies in China, whom they helped hide the outbreak of COVID19 and are still helping hide what’s actually going on in China. Otherwise, they have no power to dictate anything.

All You Warmists Should Cut Back On Your Gadgets And Streaming Or Something

By William Teach December 4, 2020 – 3:00 pm

I’m sure all of you younger climate cultists would be happy to give up all your smartphones, gaming systems, and streaming shows and movies, right? No more videos of everyday life, no more “creating content”, right?

Climate change: Why it could be time to cut back on new gadgets and HD streams

We need to cut global emissions, and fast – and in doing so, tech businesses are both part of the the problem – and the solution. A new report from the UK’s Royal Society finds that as technologies keep growing at pace, the onus is on the digital sector not only to reduce its own carbon footprint, but also to come up with innovative ways to reverse climate change globally.

While there is no exact figure that sums up the impact of digital technologies on the environment, the report estimates that the sector currently represents between 1.4% and 5.9% of global greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, the industry is projected to make huge strides in the coming years: for example, the total number of internet users is expected to reach 5.3 billion by 2023, up from less than four billion in 2018.

All this extra connectivity comes at an environmental cost. The complex infrastructure of cables, fibers, computers, data centers, routers, servers and radio masts that are required to run the digital world need power to be built, and even more so to be used and maintained. Data centers alone accounted for 0.8% of global electricity demand last year.

On a consumer level, the report identified small steps that can be taken to mitigate the impact of new technologies. For example, keeping phones, laptops, tablets or smart TVs for four years can halve the amount of carbon emitted compared to renewing a device every two years. Even better is to purchase second-hand devices; and users should always make sure that they recycle their old phones, which, if kept in a drawer at home, “amount to a form of landfill,” said the researchers.

Similarly, streaming should be done responsibly: the report warned that one hour of streaming on a smartphone generates eight times more emissions in ultra-high definition than it does in standard definition, despite little difference between the two options on a small screen. Turning off the video when listening to YouTube content could equally save between 1% and 5% of the service’s total emissions.

Marching orders, Warmist folks! It’d be funny watching some of these younger folks try and stream in non-HD. They surely have little idea that this is the way things used to be. For all shows and such.

The funny thing is that one has to read the article on the Internet from a site, ZDNet, which reviews and pushes computers, laptops, tablets, smartphones, TVs, etc and so on.
