UN Warns Of More Weather Disasters Because You Ate A Cheeseburger

By William Teach October 13, 2020 – 7:50 am

This is all your fault, you know. You were warned about coming doom, but, no, you had to take a fossil fueled trip to that burger place, and you refuse to pay taxes and give up your freedom. For shame!

Climate change means more weather disasters every year, warns UN

In the wake of heat waves, global warming, forest fires, storms, droughts and a rising number of hurricanes, the UN weather agency is warning that the number of people who need international humanitarian help could rise 50 per cent by 2030 compared to the 108 million who needed it worldwide in 2018.

In a new report released with partners on Tuesday, the World Meteorological Agency says more disasters attributed to weather are taking place each year.

It said over 11,000 disasters have been attributed to weather, climate and phenomena like tsunamis that are related to water over the last 50 years causing 2 million deaths and racking up USD 3.6 trillion worth of economic costs.

In one hopeful development over that period, the average number of deaths from each separate weather disaster per year has dropped by one-third, even as the number of such events and the economic costs from them have both surged.

Wait, wait, wait, did they just blame tsunamis on man-caused climate change from carbon pollution? WTF? They don’t bother attempting to explain this, they just throw it in an expect climate cultists to believe it.

“While COVID-19 generated a large international health and economic crisis from which it will take years to recover, it is crucial to remember that climate change will continue to pose an on-going and increasing threat to human lives, ecosystems, economies and societies for centuries to come,” said WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas.

“Recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic is an opportunity to move forward along a more sustainable path towards resilience and adaptation in the light of anthropogenic climate change,” he said.

Did everyone enjoy their test drive of what society would look like with all the climate crisis scam policies implemented during COVID lockdown?

Liberal Media Attacks ACB Over Religion And Her Kids

By William Teach October 13, 2020 – 7:37 am

Why? They’re disgusting, horrible people. First, here’s

Nolte: Fearing They’ve Lost Amy Coney Barrett Fight, Democrats Plug Obamacare

Democrats sounded more than a little defeated during their opening statements on Monday’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing for Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s Supreme Court confirmation.

Rather than use this time to try to stop Barrett’s confirmation with the ludicrous stalling tactics we saw during the confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh two years ago or to question Barrett’s legal bona fides or to make any of the wild claims about hidden documents and rape we saw in 2018, so far, Democrats are reduced to doing the equivalent of a cable news appearance.

Democrats do not appear to have a plan of any kind to lay some sort of groundwork to derail Barrett or to pick off the three or four Republican senators needed to kill her nomination. Democrats are, instead, using this allotted time to plug Obamacare as something it’s not — worth a damn. They’re also attacking President Trump as a racist and coronavirus super-spreader, firing off anti-science complaints about how this hearing might result in their catching the coronavirus, and, of course, lying about how confirming a Supreme Court justice during an election year is unprecedented — fact check: it’s not.

That’s it. That’s all they have.

That is all they have. Ted Cruz said “Let me observe, as Sherlock Holmes famously observed, that what speaks the loudest is the dog that didn’t bark, which is, to date, of every Democrat who’s spoken, we’ve heard virtually not a single word about Judge Barrett!” So, we end up with things like this, from the NY Times

If Amy Coney Barrett Were Muslim

Amy Coney Barrett, President Trump’s nominee for the Supreme Court, has faced immense scrutiny of her religious beliefs, and we need to be vigilant against any religious bias or discrimination.

But I marvel at the hypocrisy of Republicans who are expressing shock and outrage over this, after the way the right has treated Muslims. President Trump responded to the alarm over Judge Barrett’s nomination by accusing Democrats of bias against Catholics and “basically fighting a major religion in our country.” This is rich from the man who is running against Joe Biden, a Catholic; who promoted a Muslim ban; and who told America, “I think Islam hates us.” (snip)

I can’t help wondering: How would Republicans behave if Judge Barrett were a Democrat whose strongly held religious beliefs came from Islam instead of Catholicism?

There was no Muslim ban, and, yes, a lot of Islam does, in fact, hate us. The writer, Wajahat Ali, has never been bothered by protecting Iran and extremist Islamists, and this is just a cute way of attacking ACB, Republicans, and, get this, most Christians. It in no way disqualifies ACB, and the Credentialed Media isn’t even bothering to try, just going for barking moonbat smears. The NY Times obviously has plenty more moonbattery, let’s look at the Washington Post. This is on the front page as “perspective”, which means “not actually news, just a way to attack without making us look like The Daily Kos or some lunatic left wing blog”

Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett has seven kids. And don’t you dare forget it.

The opening day of Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation hearings for the Supreme Court was kid-friendly. It was child-obsessed. It was a little over five hours of children as talking points and visual aids and proof of unwavering conservative values. It’s hard to recall a meeting of the Senate Judiciary Committee that was so focused on the well-being, the deportment and the birth story of our youngest citizens.

Yeah, we were supposed to focus on all the smears from Democrats, except they couldn’t find any and couldn’t make stuff up. The UK Guardian tried to trot out an old high school mate who didn’t want her on the court because ACB is pro-life. What, no stories of hazing? Nope

The many references to Barrett’s children were a not-so-subtle pronouncement that her prolific motherhood was especially good and admirable and a sign that she was not shirking her womanly duty while she was unleashing her ambition. Barrett had it all — on terms that were acceptable to social conservatives.

Except, they didn’t spend that much time doing this, other than initial politeness, something Democrats have forgotten.

Republicans felt compelled to shine a special spotlight on the two children she and her husband adopted from Haiti. Are they not all her children, and shouldn’t they simply be described as such — at least by those outside her circle? Highlighting their adoption comes across as a way for Republicans to vouch for Barrett’s welcoming nature and her embrace of diversity. It’s their antiabortion argument that there are loving homes waiting to welcome any and all kids.

This is a typical disgusting line of attack, obviously meant to uphold the “right” to killing the unborn, an attack that one would not expect in a major media outlet. But, the Washington Post is just as deranged as most left wing blogs, which is why left wing blogs have either disappeared or lost a lot of traffic. Why read them when you can just go to regular news outlets?

We Need To Tackle Fuel Poverty Or Something

By William Teach October 12, 2020 – 2:44 pm

Well, this is a new one from the Cult of Climastrology

Tackle fuel poverty and the climate crisis

Experts are right to raise the alarm about the climate impacts of how we heat our homes. That the UK is on course to take 700 years to achieve low-carbon heating should spur the government to action (Report, 8 October).

Its first step should be to end the subsidy for heating that maintains the high-carbon status quo and does little to help those in fuel poverty. The reduced VAT rate on domestic gas is discouraging innovation and investment in low-carbon heating technology, and the £2bn in uncollected revenue mainly benefits the wealthy because they use the most energy.

Understandably, politicians don’t want to raise heating bills for those on the lowest incomes. But they don’t have to, if they design a fairer policy that actually does more for the poorest households. This would involve removing the discount on gas and heating fuels and ringfencing the extra revenue. It should be redistributed to low-income homes and used to install energy efficiency measures and low-carbon heating systems. That way, fuel poverty and its health impacts could be tackled at the same time as climate change.

Got that? Instead of providing “the poor” with reasonably priced, and reliable, energy, “The Rich” should be taxed out the ying yang so that The Poor will be able to afford the expensive, and unreliable, alternative energy.

Wait, is the letter writer to the UK Guardian exposing the dirty little secret that renewables/alternatives are expensive as hell? Huh.

Surprise: Millions Could Be Returned To Bat Soup Virus Lockdown

By William Teach October 12, 2020 – 10:30 am

So, are they saying that masks and such don’t work?

Millions will be ordered not to leave their local areas in new Covid clampdown

Millions of people will be asked not to travel outside their local areas and could be banned from mixing with other households, even outdoors, amid fears that some hospitals in the North-West could be overwhelmed within days.

This weekend, Downing Street was briefing mayors and council leaders on the planned three-tier “Local Covid Alert Levels” system of restrictions for England, expected to be announced by Boris Johnson on Monday.

Joe Anderson, the Mayor of Liverpool, said he was in discussions with Number 10 about placing the city into the third tier – with the toughest restrictions – amid mounting concern over the number of cases and the capacity of intensive care units at hospitals in the area.

The talks included discussions about deals that would give local leaders greater autonomy over measures and testing in their area in exchange for helping to enforce and explain the rules.

Because this worked so well before, right? Certainly the British police won’t abuse their powers again, right?

I wonder what the World Health Organization has to say

Coronavirus: WHO backflips on virus stance by condemning lockdowns

The World Health Organisation has backflipped on its original COVID-19 stance after calling for world leaders to stop locking down their countries and economies.

Dr. David Nabarro from the WHO appealed to world leaders yesterday, telling them to stop “using lockdowns as your primary control method” of the coronavirus.

He also claimed that the only thing lockdowns achieved was poverty – with no mention of the potential lives saved.

“Lockdowns just have one consequence that you must never ever belittle, and that is making poor people an awful lot poorer,” he said.

Funny how lefties are seeing that lockdowns actually hurt people now that elections are happening. And we’re still getting cases and deaths. And who wanted the economy open? That would be Donald Trump. Who wanted it closed? Democrats, including Joe Biden. Who’s demanding everyone be forced to wear masks and calling for fines and arrests if they don’t? Democrats.

In honesty, masks certainly help a bit. Dems, Republicans, and Trump should have gotten together to advocate that people wear them when close contact is unavoidable. That would be better than forced compliance. Of course, now that there are all these mask mandates people are getting to close. I don’t know how often I have to step back from people.

BTW, Sweden is still doing pretty good, which makes those who want lockdowns even madder.

UN Warns Climate Crisis (scam) Will Cause “Unimaginable Hell”

By William Teach October 12, 2020 – 9:16 am

To fix this, they’ll have ten thousand plus take long fossil fueled trips to the next UN IPCC Conference on the Parties, where they will demand Other People give up their money

‘Uninhabitable hell’: Climate change and disease threaten millions, UN warns

A jump in climate-related disasters this century, along with the global coronavirus pandemic, show political and business leaders are failing to stop the planet turning into “an uninhabitable hell” for millions, the United Nations said on Monday.

The last two decades saw the number of disasters caused by extreme weather nearly double to 6,681, up from 3,656 between 1980 and 1999, according to a report issued ahead of the International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction on Oct. 13.

Worsening floods and storms accounted for about four-fifths of the total from 2000-2019 but major increases were also recorded for droughts, wildfires and heatwaves.

“We are wilfully destructive. That is the only conclusion one can come to”, with action on climate change and other major threats lagging, said Mami Mizutori, the U.N. Secretary-General’s special representative for disaster risk deduction.

How many are really disasters only because more people live there? If tornadoes hit in the mid-west and hurricanes in Texas when the populations were low to none, were they disasters? Especially when no one knew they happened?

“It is baffling that we willingly and knowingly continue to sow the seeds of our own destruction, despite the science and evidence that we are turning our only home into an uninhabitable hell for millions of people,” they added.

Yet, Warmists refuse to give up their own modern lives and become carbon neutral. Weird, right?

NY Times Calls Trump An Authoritarian For Declassifying Documents

By William Teach October 12, 2020 – 7:50 am

Mind you, this is not in the opinion section, but called “news analysis” in the politics section

From the link

President Trump’s order to his secretary of state to declassify thousands of Hillary Clinton’s emails, along with his insistence that his attorney general issue indictments against Barack Obama and Joseph R. Biden Jr., takes his presidency into new territory — until now, occupied by leaders with names like Putin, Xi and Erdogan.

Mr. Trump has long demanded — quite publicly, often on Twitter — that his most senior cabinet members use the power of their office to pursue political enemies. But his appeals this week, as he trailed badly in the polls and was desperate to turn the national conversation away from the coronavirus, were so blatant that one had to look to authoritarian nations to make comparisons.

He took a step even Richard M. Nixon avoided in his most desperate days: openly ordering direct, immediate government action against specific opponents, timed to serve his re-election campaign. (snip)

Now he is talking about it, almost daily. He is making it clear that prosecutions, like vaccines for the coronavirus, are useless to him if they come after Nov. 3. He has declared, without evidence, that there is already plenty of proof that Mr. Obama, Mr. Biden and Mrs. Clinton, among others, were fueling the charges that his campaign had links to Russia — what he calls “the Russia hoax.” And he has pressured his secretary of state to agree to release more of Mrs. Clinton’s emails before the election, reprising a yearslong fixation despite having defeated her four years ago.

But, see, there is plenty of actual evidence that it was a hoax, that it was started by the Hillary campaign, and that Obama-Biden and Russia knew about it. And, see, there was a time when a news outlet would smell blood in the water when it came to declassifying government documents that show malfeasance, even criminal activity, and they would swarm and attack.

Now? They defend those of their own party. Any shred of integrity and neutrality is gone like a fart in the wind. There was no Russian collusion by the Trump campaign or Trump. It was made up. That’s why nuts like Adam Schiff could never show their “rock solid evidence.” That’s why Mueller never found anything.

Seriously, what if I told you a president

  • targeted political rivals using the IRS and DOJ
  • got the DOJ to back off investigating political allies
  • blew off the law to give essentially amnesty to millions of illegals
  • instituted a reg that gave feds even more power over energy sector
  • instituted a reg that gave feds control over all waterways in US, including ponds in your backyard
  • signed a document pledging US money for ‘climate change’ which avoided the legislative body
  • Made a deal with Iran that avoided the duly elected legislative body
  • dictated how schools must allow boys claiming to be girls in the girls locker rooms and showers or they’d lose federal money
  • signed a law giving feds more power over your health insurance and care
  • same law gave feds more power over student loans
  • instituted a contraceptive and abortifacient mandate, despite appearing nowhere in the Affordable Care Act
  • refused to defend duly passed laws by Congress and signed by previous presidents
  • Continuously took more power for the feds and away from the states and municipalities
  • ruled by his pen
  • instituted rules and regs willy nilly
  • used the national press as his personal Pravda
  • and more

That’s the guy people say is freedom loving, while the guy who did away with that stuff, is trying to expose gov’t abuse, and get rid of burdensome gov regs is called an authoritarian/dictator. And these same media folks did all they could to defend the Big Government actions of Obama-Biden and protect them.

ClimaPope Who Takes Long Fossil Fueled Trips Yammers On About Solving Climate Crisis (scam)

By William Teach October 11, 2020 – 3:03 pm

If only the Pope had as much passion for talking about the evil of abortion and governmental control of people’s lives

Pope in TED talk: Earth cannot be squeezed ‘like an orange’

Pope Francis on Saturday issued an urgent call to action to defend the planet and help the poor in his second TED talk.

The pontiff, known for his affinity for social media and technology, said in a videotaped message to a TED conference on climate change that the coronavirus pandemic had put a focus on the social-environmental challenge facing the globe.

“Science tells us, every day with more precision, that it is necessary to act with urgency — I am not exaggerating, science tell us this — if we want to have the hope of avoiding radical changes in the climate and catastrophes,” Francis said, looking directly in the camera as he looked up from his prepared remarks.

He set as a goal for the next decade constructing a world capable of responding to current generations, “without compromising the possibilities of the future generations.” He framed his call with references to his 2015 encyclical on climate change, “Laudato Si,” (Be Praised) and the more recent “Fratelli tutti” (Brothers All) on the failure of market capitalism.

Francis laid out three paths of action: promoting education about the environment “based on scientific data and an ethical approach,” assuring drinking water and an adequate food supply through sustainable agriculture and promoting the transformation from fossil fuels to clean energy sources.

“We have just a few years — scientists calculate roughly fewer than 30 — to drastically reduce the emissions of gas and the greenhouse effect in the atmosphere,” the pope said, adding that the transition needs to take into account the impact on the poor, local populations and those who work in the energy sector.

He called on investors to exclude companies that do not taking into account the environment, as have many faith-based organizations already have.

Have you ever heard the Pope say that investors should exclude companies that support abortion on demand.

Notice that the Pope doesn’t say what actions he is taking. When does he give up his own long fossil fueled flights? When does he convert Vatican City into purely relying on solar and wind? When does he tell Catholics and all the others who take fossil fueled flights then car trips to the Vatican to just stay home? Oh, right, the Vatican would miss out on lots of money, and they wouldn’t want that to occur.
