‘Climate Change’ Needs A Collective Response Or Something

By William Teach January 13, 2025 – 7:00 am

Remember, this is completely about science, not politics

Climate change needs collective address: DPM Paudel

Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Bishnu Prasad Paudel has said the climate change and sustainability of trade are common global agenda, so they warrant collective action and address.

Inaugurating the 3rd annual conference on ‘Climate Change and Sustainability of Trade in South Asia’ organized jointly by the World Trade Organization and the Kathmandu University in the federal capital on Saturday, DPM Paudel reminded that Nepal is on the forefront of climate change vulnerability, resulting into adverse impacts on socio-economy and infrastructures.

Decentralization of production centres and diversification of supply chain could help reduce risk in trade infrastructures, according to him.

The DPM hoped the conference would be fruitful to whet the pressing issues of climate change in south Asia and build common perspectives among policy makers, researchers and private sector representatives so that they would take proper strategies for future. Efforts made by Nepal despite its negligible role in climate change need to be made visible. The climate actions like mitigation and adaptation should be prioritized, he suggested.

And who would run all this? Sure sounds like all measures of our private lives and economic activity would be controlled by government, and, no, you are not allowed to dissent.

But, I get a kick out of all these big wigs taking fossil fueled trips to discuss how to implement Authoritarianism. Also, where would Nepal be without fossil fuels? How many people take flights into Nepal so they can trek, climb mountains, and so much more are there? End fossil fuels and Nepal truly descends into 3rd world status.

Brandon Extends Temporary Extended Status For 900K Because Trump

By William Teach January 13, 2025 – 6:45 am

There is very little being offered in terms of why Biden did this, so, we can assume that it is simply to troll Trump, which is really trolling the American people

Biden extends protected status for migrants from 4 countries ahead of Trump return

With a little over a week before the end of President Joe Biden’s term, his administration extended humanitarian protections for nationals from four countries Friday before President-elect Donald Trump, who has promised an immigration crackdown, returns to the White House.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security extended Temporary Protected Status, or TPS, for another 18 months for 103,000 Ukrainians, about 600,000 Venezuelans, and 1,900 Sudanese, which is until October 2026. DHS also extended TPS for 232,000 Salvadorians until September 2026.

Roughly 1 million people have TPS, which allows them to live and work in the U.S. because their home country is deemed too dangerous to return to for reasons including war, environmental disasters or violence. It’s up to an administration to determine whether or not to renew a status. TPS does not lead to a long-term path to citizenship.

Immigration advocates have pushed the Biden administration to extend TPS status before a second Trump administration. The former president has expressed his intent to not only enact mass deportations, but to scale back humanitarian programs.

So, yeah, Because Trump. Who has stated he’s going after criminals first, then illegals, and wanting to reduce the number in the U.S. of fake asylum seekers, while blocking fake asylum seekers from entering the U.S. He hasn’t been yammering about kicking out the TPS immediately. Except Haitians. And, it is TPS, meaning they do have to leave. At least that’s what is supposed to happen.

(USA Today) The extended protections aren’t available to new applicants, only those already approved for TPS, DHS said. The agency said applicants go through “rigorous national security and public safety vetting” in order to qualify.

No one actually believes that, do they? If USA Today had any journalistic integrity they’d be noting the huge number of murderers, rapists, child abusers, gang members, jihadis, and more who were not vetted.

Good News: Californians Have Moved From Ripping Off CVS To The National Guard

By William Teach January 12, 2025 – 7:00 am

Only in the People’s Republik Of California, which has worried more about Woke, DEI, gender transitioning, the climate scam, etc

Let’s go to the article

Three Humvees were stolen from an Army Reserve Center in Tustin, along with other military equipment, according to a police statement.

On Wednesday, January 8, between 8 p.m. and 11:30 p.m., unknown suspects entered a storage warehouse at the center.

Multiple storage lockers were found with their locks removed, and gear was missing.

There was also an unsuccessful attempt to cut a lock to uniform storage.

The suspects cut a fence to access a military vehicle parking lot, where they stole three Humvees before leaving at an unknown time.

Tustin is south of Anaheim, north of Irvine. So, who did? Did they not have cameras at an Army Reserve base? Why is no one securing the base? Thank goodness they didn’t get actual weapons, though, they did try and break into a uniform locker unsuccessfully. Who’s in charge? Oh, that would be Joe Biden, ultimately, with his DEI military leaders under him. This is just insane.

Youts Embracing Powered Skis

By William Teach January 11, 2025 – 5:54 pm

The lazy generation is doing lazy

E-Power hits the slopes: new wave of snow sports emerges

Following in the footsteps of electric scooters on land and wakeboards at sea, young entrepreneurs are bringing electric power to snow travel with self-propelled skis and all-terrain skates.

Already an experienced surfer and snowboarder, Edouard Aubert took up skateboarding during the pandemic, as he was drawn to the empty roads.

“Since I’m an engineer, I quickly put a motor on it,” he said with a grin at the CES technology show in Las Vegas.

“But we needed more. Roads weren’t enough for us, and neither was off-roading. We needed sand, snow.” (snip)

“The snow version isn’t meant for hurtling down slopes or replacing snowboarding,” Aubert explained.

“It’s more for walking and cross-country skiing.”

Why? Isn’t the whole point of cross country skiing to get out and enjoy and get some exercise? I can understand with bikes, because they are being used to get from one place to another, usually in cities, in place of expending all that energy or taking the bus or car or something. This is not for exercise. Most do not cross country ski to just get from, say, home to work.

In ski touring, skiers climb slopes rather than using lifts before skiing down.

With E-Skimo, as the skier moves, a motor drives a fabric strip beneath the ski, acting as a conveyor belt that reduces strain on legs and thighs.

Using AI, the system gauges the slope and ski positions to calibrate assistance based on the user and pace. The motor stops once the skier completes their forward stride. At the summit, users can remove the fabric band, motor, and battery to descend on what amount to conventional skis.

Just lazy. Misses the whole point. It would be like using an e-bike for a BMX event. Lazy.

And just to throw a little climate scam in

Think about it.

Newsome Wants Trump To Not Politicize PRC Wildfires, Visit The Area

By William Teach January 11, 2025 – 10:30 am

Wait, who’s the sitting president right now?

Newsom implores Trump to visit LA fire destruction, not politicize tragedy

Gov. Gavin Newsom invited President-elect Donald Trump to survey the breathtaking damage caused by the Southern California wildfires, appealing to the incoming president to meet with the first responders, firefighters and “Americans” affected by the catastrophe.

“In the spirit of this great country, we must not politicize human tragedy or spread disinformation from the sidelines,” Newsom wrote in a letter to Trump on Friday. “Hundreds of thousands of Americans — displaced from their homes and fearful for the future — deserve to see all of us working in their best interests to ensure a fast recovery and rebuild.”

The Los Angeles fires have killed at least 10 people and destroyed more than 10,000 homes and businesses. They also have dramatically accelerated the feud between the incoming president and the ambitious California Democrat, with Trump ridiculing the governor’s performance, advocating for sweeping policy changes on water and using the blazes to again portray his state as failing.

Interesting, since the minute the fires started (and we’ll surely find out they were either arson or incompetence, but, most likely arson, since the fires were spread pretty far) the Warmists started blaming it on global boiling. This includes politicians and the Credentialed Media. The minute a big shooting happens people like Newsom rush out to politicize it and call for “common sense gun control.”

Maybe Newsom should worry more about the conditions due to government misconduct and foolish policies created, like

Kinda coincidental, eh?

Surprise: Bank Of England Confirms Net Zero Is Driving Up Energy Prices

By William Teach January 11, 2025 – 7:15 am

Everyone has a shocked face right now, right? (via Not A Lot Of People Know That)

Net zero is driving up energy prices, admits Bank of England official

Net zero policies are sharply driving up energy costs, the Bank of England has admitted, as officials battle to bring living costs back under control.

Sarah Breeden, the Bank’s deputy governor, said households and businesses were paying more for energy because of so-called carbon permits, which require power plants to pay for each tonne of carbon dioxide they emit.

These permits accounted for nearly half the cost of fuel bought by gas-fired power plants last year, Ms Breeden said, which was passed on to consumers.

“There is now evidence that policies aimed at the climate transition were probably more important contributors to the recent rise and fall in inflation than we previously thought,” the deputy governor said in a speech at the University of Edinburgh Business School.

I mean, we all saw this coming, right? Non-cult members have been saying for the longest time that implementing all these crazy policies would increase the cost of energy, which means that the cost of everything else will go up. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. But, are they good intentions? Because the Elites who are making these policies sure do not act like ‘climate change’ is a problem in their own lives.

Chicago Democrats Look To Repeal Sanctuary City Status

By William Teach January 11, 2025 – 7:00 am

Funny how a city being overrun with illegals and fake asylum seekers who are criminals can change people’s minds away from bad policies

‘This Policy Is Dangerous’: Chicago Dems Fight To Roll Back City’s Sanctuary Law, Help Trump Deport Criminals

A pair of Chicago aldermen have introduced legislation that would roll back the city’s sanctuary law currently forbidding any cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities, but their efforts face stiff odds in a city council dominated by liberal members.

Raymond Lopez and Silvana Tabares, both Democrats, filed a proposed amendment to Chicago’s Welcoming City Ordinance, which calls for exceptions when a migrant has been arrested or convicted of certain criminal activities. The aldermen argued in a public statement that it’s in the best interest of the city’s immigrant community to work with the incoming Trump administration in situations where wanted illegal migrants are involved in heinous crimes.

“We believe that the best way to protect law-abiding non-citizens from the returning Trump Administration is by working with them in apprehending their priority targets: non-citizens that CHOOSE to engage in dangerous, illegal activity once they are in the United States,” Lopez said in a public statement. “Our current [Welcoming City Ordinance] prohibits any coordination or cooperation, even in the most heinous situations.”

“This policy is dangerous to those law-abiding undocumented and non-citizens residents because, if someone is arrested or convicted of crimes, the federal authorities aren’t notified,” he continued. “Should the federal government go looking for those specific individuals seeking to deport them, there is a high probability that other targets, law-abiding undocumented and non-citizen residents, may be apprehended and deported as collateral damage. That is an entirely unacceptable yet avoidable situation.”

It has always been amazing that Democrats have gone so in on illegal immigration that they will protect those that commit crimes, include heinous felonies like murder, rape, sexual assault, including on children. What drives them that far? It’s just hard to understand. I can understand why they would want non-criminal illegals. I don’t like it, but, I can at least understand it. But, a huge chunk that support criminals? Boggles the mind.
