To assuage climate change, we need to get rid of the poor via the food that sustains them

It would be a comedy show or a Babylon Bee satire if it wasn't real. The Left has lost its collective mind. 

When you have a President who says the biggest single existential threat to civilization is climate change--not the real possibility of war with any number of bad actors, or the world economy, or the removal of genitalia on children--yet still goes on vacation in Ireland for personal 'discovery,' and upon return goes on vacation in Delaware, there's no doubt the country is in serious trouble. 

First, it was global cooling, then global warming and never are they accurate in their predictions--if they were, we'd all be dead in 2031 if Rep. Alexandria Obviously-Comatose's (Socialist-NY) 2019 prediction is correct. But their predictions are never correct; they're only self-serving and they are never called out on their bone-headedness. As the photo above illustrates, they simply go on to the next panic claim and raise our taxes to pay for it.

Alleged President Joe Biden said that climate change is the single existential threat to the world during his vacation in Ireland. Then he said he wanted to "lick the world," because his brain malfunctioned again.

So while the world is in trouble, Joe got to do his "bucket list" before he leaves the planet and heads for warmer climate. He went to Ireland to find his roots, and when he got back to the USA, he went to his home in Delaware. In fact, Biden has spent 40 percent of his time as President on vacation. Can you believe the perks the POTUS gets?

Starbucks paper straws in plastic cups: hypocrisy much?

“The SINGLE existential threat to the world is climate change!” Biden claimed. "We don’t have a lot of time, and that’s a fact."

However, Joe failed to show his work on it being a fact. But Democrats believe in the magic of their words, and if he says it's a fact, or he's a woman, it must be true.

The end of the world has been happening for over 40 years but so far nothing has changed all that much . . . except for Joe's mental status.

The Democrats have gone after fossil fuels, meat, cow farts, and most recently, gas stoves. So what's left to make the lives of the poorest among us even worse? 

Oh yeah, rice. You know, the thing that most of the humans on planet Earth survives on.

Rice is now being blamed for about 10 percent of global methane emissions and other problems to panic over:

VIDEO: Rice is to blame for around 10 percent of global emissions of methane, a gas that over two decades, traps about 80 times as much heat as carbon dioxide. Scientists say that if the world wants to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, rice cannot be ignored. pic.twitter.com/46GgkaGPgK

Rice cannot be ignored?

Seriously, if you do everything these freaking idiots say we must do to save the planet, [let us never forget to not use plastic bags or straws] you will kill huge swaths of the poor population in the world by not feeding them. 

Imagine if China and India stopped rice production. Heads would swing--literally.

Biden doesn't allow Florida building tragedy go to waste: alludes to global warming

President Biden checks is eyelids for holes

Joe Biden mush-mouthed at a press conference on Thursday the alleged concerns of some members of the Miami community as to the possibility that global warming may be to blame for the tragic building collapse of the Surfside Condo. As of this post, at least 18 people are confirmed dead and 145 are still missing.

“We don’t have any firm proof of what’s happened,” Biden said. "We also don't have any firm proof that aliens from somewhere out there did not cause this tragedy and loss of life.  You hear about those things all the time--I'm serious. There’s all kinds of rational speculation about whether or not rebars are, were, maybe were rusted, old, weather beaten, whether or not the cement, or whatever they used back then, whether it’s limestone, shale, marble or not, and whether or not, but a lot of the, a lot of the families, a whole lot of families who survived and didn't die talked about how upset with sorrow and sad, very sad they were that in the last years that they’ve been here, how there was or is, was one condominium complex built across the street, like the kids say, 'yonder,' and a road was purchased and built, built by strong men; Americans, one and all. And while they were living there, they would hear the drilling,  the noise was unbearable but they bared it, and they feel their building moving and shaking. I'm not joking.”

“There are all kinds of talks and discussions about whether or not they thought that water level rising, what impact it had,” he added. “And interesting to me and maybe to you, I don't know that for a fact, I didn’t raise it, but how many of the survivors, the Americans who refused to give up; refused to die, and how many of the families talked about the impact of global warming. Is it just me, or is it warm here today?  How much, and they [don’t] know exactly, [but] they talked about sea levels rising and high tides raise all those boats, and about how, how they were, and and the combination of that and the concern about incoming storms, incoming tropical storms, incoming enemy storms.  And so, but I don’t think there is at this point, any definitive judgment as to why it collapsed, but I like to think it was global warming and I'm going to go with that, and how much money we can spend to prevent it from happening and what other buildings may have to be inspected to determine if they have the same problems. And the Green New Deal would have prevented that collapse. I'm serious.”

So to Biden, global warming is the rational reason the building collapsed because, um, AOC.

New Zealand PM vows to save the planet by phasing-out coal-fired boilers and stuff

Ardern makes white supremacy sign

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern spoke in her barely discernible accent on Hump Day and and said the government would phase out coal-fired boilers and reduce carbon emissions from public buses if only they would vote for her on October 17th.

New Zealand's carbon footprint on the planet is about the same as a sparrow fart on a windy beach in Aruba. But hey, they see themselves as relevant to global warming like the Nobel Peace Prize saw Al Gore to the same.

Ardern, who, in addition, is the leader of the Labour Party, said her government would introduce laws to prevent installation of new boilers and replace existing ones with electric alternatives to reduce emissions. She would also mandate masks, blue masks, to be worn both in- and outdoors by people over the age of 2 and can only be taken off at bedtime.

The government will also create a NZ$50 million ($32.9 million) fund to help local councils buy zero emissions buses by 2025. The buses will be capable of speeds not exceeding 17 mph in order to save lives in crashes with other vehicles and livestock.

“Over the last three years we have put in place the foundations to reach our 2050 climate obligations,” the prime minister bloviated. “But there is more to do.”

She plans to make it illegal to use gasoline powered lawnmowers and generators. And all homes will be required to use solar panels for power and heating, and all nuclear power generating plants are to be phased out.

She said the latest initiatives to address climate change concerns are build on plans put in place during her first term and thus far, New Zealand, under her stewardship, has already reduced the atmospheric temperature in the country by 0.0000001 degree C, and by 2050 hopes to have it be reduced by twice that number [for you math buffs, that number is 0.0000002, or the equivalent of two sparrow farts over a beach in Aruba.]

“During our first term in government, climate change was at the centre of all our policy work and commitments. It is inextricably linked to our decisions on issues like housing, agriculture, waste, energy and transport,” Ardern said.

It is also inextricably linked to socialism and governmental power plays.

Climate change is a key issue in the New Zealand election, which according to a string of opinion polls, Ardern’s Labour Party was largely expected to win.

Proud of being one of the most pristine and beautiful countries in the world, New Zealand introduced climate change curriculum in its schools last month.

Parliament passed a zero carbon bill last year and there are other measure in the pipeline to limit the impact of climate change.

The big question on everybody's mind is: was there ever an Old Zealand?

C'mon, man. You know you want to follow Brain Flushings--it's free and worth every penny. And remember, every time you click on an ad, an angel gets its wings and a liberal sheds a tear.

Women's March 2019: bitter cold, global warming baby killers

A fairly large group of women, as well as men who think they're women, and women who are married to women, and men looking to meet women, gathered up in Washington, D.C. and 180 other cities for their annual redundant march for rights they already have, and to protest the president who beat Hillary Clinton in 2016. 

"I am even more outraged than I was three years ago," said a placard carried by a 40-year-old severely depressed Washington resident, who was down four doses of her Zoloft. "We all knew that Trump was going to be horrible, and he has been even more horrible than we realize."

Sure, he's more horrible than we realize: his job numbers horribly soar; he horribly lowered taxes; reduced the horrible number of regulations, recognized the horrible city of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel; killed Abu Bakr al Baghdadi and his terror-buddy, Cassem Soleimani in the most horrible way; horribly made decent trade deals with China, Mexico and Canada; horribly decreased illegal immigration, and got rid of the crappy Iran nuclear deal, just for starters.

Oh so horrible is he.

Pussy hats or Trump: you make the call

Despite the relatively paltry turnout, with only a few thousand participants on the streets of Washington, activists remained hopeful about the power to organize marches, but for what, remains unclear.

"It is a cold day and it does not matter if it's 10 people or 100 people or 1,000 people if our voices are strong," said a runny-nose lonely 50-year-old woman who added that she regularly attends the march that started in 2017 because it gives her something to do with her hands now that she's trying to quit smoking. "We are powerful together — that's the most important thing." Then she sighed.

In 2017 the Women's March attracted almost a million people to the streets of Washington, D.C. and hundreds of thousands across the country one day after President Trump was inaugurated and Hillary Clinton finally pulled herself together and stopped sobbing.

Many of the protesters cited Trump's hard-line policy on women's "reproductive rights," which is a false premise.

Trump and conservatives have no qualms with a woman's right to reproduce. The President and conservatives just have a qualm with a woman thinking she has the right to kill her baby after she reproduces. It isn't as if anyone stops her from doing what people to do get pregnant; it's just that her failure to take precautions regarding her behavior should not give her the right to kill her baby. And even in the horrible case of a child being conceived from rape, that should not be a death sentence on the innocent baby.

The cold protesters were also protesting climate change. They support the Green New Deal written in crayon by a low-information socialist with the notion that if enough money is taxed, and the government takes over the ownership of all the means of production, somehow the climate will dutifully fall into place, like Obama's promise to stem the rise of the oceans and heal the planet, this is nonsense.

"Look what's he's doing to Greta Thunberg," said a denture-chattering 70-year-old climate alarmist, referring to the teenage Swedish socialist who launched the Fridays for Future school strikes to draw attention to the man-made destabilization of earth's climate, hoping that if successful, it would excuse her from all the school she has missed.

In spite of the revelation that it is her father who apparently writes her Facebook posts, and who knows what else, Thunberg was named the leftist Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2019.

Trump has regularly targeted Thunberg on Twitter as he tends to target everyone on Twitter who has far-left opinions. Trump lamented climate change as a ploy "created by and for the Chinese in order to make US manufacturing non-competitive." I don't know how true that is, but it made Thunberg's meany face even meaner.

"He's the biggest bully in the world," added the 70-year-old activist. Actually, it's more likely that Abu Bakr al Baghdadi and Cassem Soleimani were bigger bullies, but what does a frozen 70-year-old woman know when her hobby is walking with a sign and thinking it will change the weather?

Other protests took place in New York, Los Angeles and other major cities across the US.

Some men joined the march in the hope of getting it on with a stranger.

The march was held the same day the US National Archives apologized for blurring anti-Trump signs in a promotional image for a women's suffrage exhibition.

This marked an historical mistake because it was a mistake going in the direction that favored the President rather than against him as all the other "mistakes" have gone in the media.

Kamala Harris terrorizes Iowa school kids "Why aren't you in school?"

Democratic 2020 presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) has been scouring the streets of Des Moines and scared the bejeezus out of a group of children who were on a lunch break from class. She then verbally assaulted parents of children she assumed were truant from school in her bid to prove how tough she would be on crime, no matter how small.

While on a tour of small businesses the former California Attorney General ran into four young kids on the street and sternly asked, "Why aren't you in school?"

Because they were on their lunch break and now they had to deal with indigestion and cookie-milk regurgitation inspired by their anxiety caused by the mean lady who laughs at her own internal jokes.

Harris, who was once relevant as a candidate, is now as relevant as spectacles on a pumpkin, but she's doing everything she can to turn that around in order to become the first cis female President of the United States of America!

In her quest for justice, truth and the American way, along with improving the education of the world's children, Harris needs to go after Greta Thunberg, the 16-year-old Swedish truant who refuses to attend class while having parental approval to bloviate and pontificate to the United States of America on how we've upset her for flying in planes, using gasoline-driven automobiles, and employing clean atomic energy to power the nation. Yes that's a long sentence, but it's accurate.

[Ironically, Thunberg, the world's most notorious truant, came to the US as a passenger in a boat whose crew later returned to Sweden in a commercial aircraft powered by fossil fuel, because environmental activists are freaking hypocrites.] Now Thunberg wants all the world's children to play hooky and join her "in the streets" and be on the lookout for Kamala Harris, or "she's gonna get you."

Does anyone know where Harris was when big city schools let kids off to protest global warming?

If you're white and you eat, your diet is contributing to climate change

Attention all people with a low level of melanin: your dietary choices are contributing to climate change and people of color don't eat the same food as you because they're cool and you're not.

Or some such garbage nonsense.

A new racist-bias study now suggests that dining choices of Caucasians contribute more to climate change than diets of other ethnic groups, especially LGBTQ+ even though those are ethnic groups.

So here's some of the scoop [and when I say 'scoop' picture a dog squatting and looking back at you]:

The study, released last week in the Journal of Industrial Ecology, determined the diet of typical Caucasian Americans includes a greater variety of foods than African-American and Hispanic diets, therefore requiring the use of more land and water, which leads to greater greenhouse gas emissions.

Get it? White people can afford a greater variety of food, like avocado toast and this requires more land and this means there will be greater greenhouse gas emissions.

In the bogus study, white Americans' eating patterns had the highest per capita greenhouse gas and water impacts of any demographic group due to their consumption of "environmentally intense food items" such as potatoes, beef, apples, and milk, the latter of course, provided to us by farting cows.

Black Americans' diets had the highest per capita land impact "due to their consumption of land‐intense food items in the fruit and 'protein foods' food groups," but had the lowest per capita greenhouse gas emissions of the three groups examined, especially when you skew the data or rely on your feelings.

"The food pipeline – which includes its production, distribution and waste – contributes significantly to climate change through the production of greenhouse gases and requires significant amounts of water and land, which also has environmental effects," Joe Bozeman, a progressive woke student in the University of Illinois who co-authored the study, said.

However, the differences between each demographic group were not significant.

In fact, data provided by the Environmental Protection Agency and National Institutes of Health, which included more than 500 foods and water, found that white people produce, on average, 680 kilogram of CO2 each year. By comparison, Hispanics produce 640 kilograms and African-Americans produce 600 kilograms.

But is CO2 good or bad for the planet? Heck, plants love that crap.

The diets of each community required more than 300,000 liters of water per year, the study found.

"While the difference may not be enormous, these numbers are per individual, and when you add up all those individuals, it's very clear that whites are responsible for the majority of greenhouse gases emitted as a result of their food choices," Bozeman whined.

I am really so sorry for being white. If I could have had it any other way, I would have been born brown, like my wife. Now I think I'll go have me a burger and a beer.

AOC: Like people maybe kinda shouldn't reproduce onnaconna the climate and stuff

Socialist for the Democratic Party Rep. Alexandria Obviously-Communist (D-NY) while cooking veggies on Instagram suggested that due to the global climate crisis in the world, [in which she declared herself the boss in handling it], should maybe not, like, have children "onnaconna because there is, like, a 'scientific consensus' that life will be too hard for kids if they go outside to play."

The low-information millennial pontificated and bloviated while cutting up a head of some sort of veggie with a knife that looked like it came from the movie
"Psycho," and said:

"Our planet is going to hit disaster if we don't turn this ship around and so it's basically like, there's a scientific consensus that the lives of children are going to be very difficult, And it does lead, I think, young people to have a legitimate question, you know, 'Is it okay to still have children?'"

This coming from a person whose college degree was in economics and still doesn't understand how a tax deferment works, among other things. And let's remember, she's willing to kill babies right before they're born, maybe even after.

Unable to take any level of criticism, Obviously-Communist then took a shot at Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) over an incident that happened in Feinstein's office on Friday when a far-left fringe group tried to pressure Feinstein into supporting the Green New Deal. Actually, many people who saw those kids may have thought that she was amongst them, or was the teacher who was using them as props.

"You know what’s interesting about this group?" Feinstein told the group on Friday, in response to the group storming into her office. "I’ve been doing this for 30 years. I know what I’m doing."

"You come in here, and you say it has to be my way or the highway. I don’t respond to that," Feinstein continued. "I’ve gotten elected, I just ran. I was elected by almost a million-vote plurality. And I know what I’m doing. So you know, maybe people should listen a little bit."

Obviously-Communist said Feinstein's response was "like not good enough" because the legislation that the Democrats support is "frankly going to kill us," she said nonchalantly as she like butchered a head of something.

"This idea that 'I've been working on this for x-amount of years,' um, it's like not good enough," the idiot in lipstick said. "Like, we need a universal sense of urgency, and people are like trying to introduce watered-down proposals that are frankly going to kill us. A lack of urgency is going to kill us."

"The issue has gotten worse," the rich, power-hungry socialist blubbered. "So I don't think that working on an issue for 30 years alone is what qualifies as, as what someone qualified to solve an issue."

But being a 29-year-old former bartender, with no other real life experience other than living with her mother for the previous two years or so, and who obviously has a bad relationship with facts, numbers and morality, knows what's best for us: her being the boss and having the power to save the world from a climate that will kill us all in twelve years.

Kamala Harris not concerned about our money for GND cost

Democratic presidential Kamala Harris is not concerned about your money when it comes to funding the Green New Deal and "Medicare-for-all." It isn't her money and as far as she's concerned, white folks can fork it over and even pay reparations to black Americans for "200 years of slavery," Harris said, as if it was still going on.

The estimated costs for all the crazy proposals, including getting rid of farting cows, gas-driven cars and planes, and our use of all fossil fuels in the next ten years, are estimated to be in the neighborhood of trillions of dollars for each unprecedented proposal, as determined by a nonpartisan study.

Harris, (D-CA) joined Sens. Elizabeth Warren, (D-MA), and Cory Booker, (D-NJ) to co-sponsor the Green New Deal resolution earlier this month. 

The resolution's botched rollout included the release of an official document by New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's [aka Alexandria Occasionally Coherent-Commie] office that promised economic security even for those "unwilling to work," as well as the elimination of "farting cows" and air travel.

Brilliant.

"There's no question we have to be practical. But being practical also recognizes that climate change is an existential threat to us as human beings," Harris bloviated. "Being practical recognizes that greenhouse gas emissions are threat to our air, and threatening our planet. And that it is well within our capacity as human beings to change our behaviors in a way that we can reduce its effect. That's practical. Of course we can afford it."

So we're back to considering Ocasio-Cortez's farting cows because they release methane, a greenhouse gas.

NASA methane in the atmosphere: 

Methane is a hydrocarbon gas that is produced via natural sources and human activities, including the decomposition of wastes in landfills, agriculture, and especially rice cultivation as well as ruminant digestion and manure management associated with domestic livestock. On a molecule-for-molecule basis, methane is a far more active greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, but also one which is much less abundant in the atmosphere. [My italics]

But if the U.S. only accounts for 15 percent of global emissions while India and China account for a much larger amount, then we must consider bombing the crap out of their coal mines to save the planet. 

And let us not forget the reserves in the other top oil producing countries: Saudi Arabia, Russia, Canada, China, Iran, Iraq, the UAE, Brazil and Kuwait. If we stop producing oil, these other nations will fill the vacuum to grow their economies. We need to bomb the crap out of them lest America take a back seat to the world economy. 

Okay, maybe not Canada, eh, but the others for sure. After all, Harris and AOC know that we have a mere twelve years before the world comes to an end and we want to enjoy the two years left if we can implement the GND.

The Comedy News Network's John King asked Harris, the former California prosecutor who screwed her way to the Senate, for her response to conservative arguments that progressive proposals could end up doing more harm than good, by crippling the U.S. economy.

According to the Mercatus Center at George Washington University, for example, the economically illiterate Ocasio-Cortez's plan for universal Medicare would end up costing more than $30 trillion, even after factoring in the sweeping tax hikes that would offset the expense by only roughly $2 trillion. 

Charles Blahous, a senior strategist at the Mercatus Center and an author of the study, later explained that AOC had wildly misinterpreted his study to try to argue that "Medicare-for-all" would save money, because she is better at mixing a Manhattan than representing Queens and the Bronx.

"One of the things that I admire and respect is the measurement that is captured in three letters: ROI," Harris said. "What's the return on investment? People in the private sector understand this really well. It's not about a cost. It's about an investment. And then the question should be, is it worth the cost in terms of the investment potential? Are we going to get back more than we put in?"

You can't invest more than what you have. We'd end up printing more money or borrowing. If you increase the national debt to the degree necessary to even begin to consider this ridiculous idea, we would GND ourselves in a totally bankrupt economy. No country would honor our money or want to do business with us.

The Green New Deal push has seen resistance not only from Republicans, but also some key Democrats. Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI), was asked about the plan to replace planes with high-speed rail and did not seem impressed.

“That would be pretty hard for Hawaii,” she laughed, because it's a stupidly naive idea.

House Speaker Nancy "Dancing Hands" Pelosi similarly appeared to dismiss the plan because Californians live in their cars.

“It will be one of several or maybe many suggestions that we receive,” Pelosi told Politico. “The green dream, or whatever they call it, nobody knows what it is, but they’re for it, right?”

"The Green New Deal? I see it as aspirational. I see it as a jump-start," Amy "Ranch Dressing" Klobuchar said on "Special Report with Bret Baier" earlier this month. "So I would vote yes [on the Green New Deal resolution], but I would also -- if it got down to the nitty-gritty of an actual legislation, as opposed to, 'Oh, here's some goals we have' -- uh, that would be different for me."

In other words, Klobuchar doesn't want to commit to anything and will dance around most issues and chose the issue most popular at the moment if she choses at all.

But Harris said she was looking forward to hashing out the dispute with her rivals in public, during one of the 12 planned Democratic primary debates. Harris added that she enjoys hashing out issues almost as much as she enjoys hash and listening to Snoop Dog and Tupac.

"I look forward to that debate on the debate stage," Harris said. "I look forward to it very much."

In terms of the 2020 debate, the White House hopes that socialism will be the main issue for the Democrats with their call for higher minimum wage and universal benefits, perhaps even for those who refuse to work. 

But Harris emphasizes that her main concern is the concerns of everyday Americans, excluding white people, who she says should have to pay black people for being black and victimized several hundred years ago by not them. 

The big question is: will former President Obama have to pay his black self reparations by his white self? Will most Americans, those whose families have come to America after slavery still have to pay black Americans whose ancestors had not come to America before slavery? 

The whole question is immoral when you are made to pay for the crimes you didn't personally commit. But let's face it, the whole idea is vote-fodder for the greedy who believe it's okay.

I hope you'll follow Brain Flushings and have a few laughs while you get a conservative viewpoint. Politics is the new NFL without the mindless kneeling and this blog will both inform you and hopefully entertain you bigly.

U.S. media mum on the big reason for Paris riots

This is about the fourth week of the riots in France. The lamestream media would have you believe it's about the price of gas and the cost of living going up, but that's simply only part of the truth.

The big reason, the final straw that broke the camel's back and was the catalyst to people rioting in the streets, was French President Macron's outrageous "anti-Climate Change" policies. That is, putting another tax on top of those that already exist, for the use of carbon fuels.

Obama wanted to do the same.

CNN and CBS apparently have no idea what sparked these protests and riots, but Global News of Canada was somewhat more honest, writing:

Macron’s government has imposed several climate change-related fuel taxes in recent months — including another slated to take effect in January. Macron says the taxes are meant to encourage drivers to exchange diesel-fueled vehicles for more environmentally-friendly models, but many middle-class French citizens say the taxes are squeezing them to the breaking point.

There were over 400 arrests over the weekend, and more than 200 people were injured, including police.

French citizens, wearing the now ubiquitous yellow safety vests (which residence of France are required, by law, to keep in their vehicles for emergencies) marched down the Champs-Élysées, a high-end shopping and restaurant district in central Paris.

Although Macron's new efforts to combat "climate change" and reduce his country's dependence on "fossil fuels" by punishing those who use it with having to fork over more money is not the only reason for the protests, but it definitely got the French off their derrieres and out onto the streets. Many brought along books of matches.

The French had already been hit with a tax increase in January. Over 60 percent of the cost of fuel in France comes from government taxes.

But if you ask CNN or CBS, the riots are simply shrouded in mystery.

CBS simply refused to discuss the taxes altogether.

So @CBSEveningNews went through a whole segment on the Paris riots without mentioning that they are riots against taxes to curb global warming.

— Pradheep J. Shanker, M.D., M.S. (@Neoavatara) December 2, 2018

CNN spent hundreds of words diddy-bopping around the tax issue before arguing that France's protesters were mistaken: the price of fuel in France went up because the price of oil has gone up globally.

"Rising fuel prices are largely attributed to a leap in the wholesale price of oil worldwide," CNN claimed smugly.

Strangely enough, the protests span both the "metropolitan elite" and the "rural poor." Smaller protests have also broken out across the French countryside, and those demonstrators are very clear on why they've taken to the streets: Macron's "anti-Climate Change" policies have created an unfair burden on French people across the financial spectrum.

Reuters and other, more global news organizations, like Global News, fared better in their coverage, accepting that Macron's efforts to curb fuel consumption may have gone a step too far.

The American media would love to see iron-fist control by the government to "save the world" with taxpayers' money.

Macron is getting desperate to quell the situation in the streets of France, especially in Paris. He announced that he'd consider taking drastic measures, but didn't spell out what that would entail.

If he has all 75,000 protesters arrested, where would he put them all?

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: 'We are all going to die from changes in the weather'

Alexandria Virginia Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) [who will hereafter be referred to as OC] is so bubbly and all over the news with another brilliant pontification in her field of expertise: climatology. Or is is cosmetology? I forget which.

The congresswoman-elect is taking no prisoners as she doubles down on her first week's agenda in Congress whereby she calls on her colleagues in the House to pass a "Green New Deal," onnaconna [because] "people are going to die from climate change."

Let's not minimize her qualifications to make such a bold statement. OC came in second place in high school in the 2007 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, so she knows a thing or two about global climate and other stuff too. Asteroid 23238 Ocasio-Cortez was named after her and I don't believe she had to pay to have it done.

OC cited a report by the U.S. Global Change Research Program released Friday, which is a voluntary committee of scientists from 13 various federal agencies and outside pressure groups, that warned thousands would die, and the US could suffer an enormous 10% reduction in its GNP by the end of the century if human refuse to curb their carbon footprints.

She isn't totally wrong--global warming exists, and humans contribute to it, but it isn't clear how much we do, or what we can do to curb it, certainly if we don't have the cooperation of the other global polluters such as China, Russia and India for starters.

The worst global offender is China, but OC doesn't have a clue as to what foreign policy recommendations we can make to assuage the problem across the globe.

In addition, I don't believe being a googly-eyed alarmist is going to change anything. Nor will OC's socialism do anything to solve the problem.

By the way, a recent NASA report stated that global temperatures have actually dropped over the last two years by about a half degree celsius.

Gore blasts Trump for 'burying' climate report but forgets report on 2 yr. record low temps

Former Vice President Al Gore attacked President Trump's administration of trying to "bury" a government report linking global warming to the worsening of natural disasters because the study was released on the Friday after Thanksgiving, which is not much of a news day.

What Gore "buried" was that recent NASA data shows that global temperatures dropped sharply over the past two years. But hey, that wasn't important to the leftist agendas we so often hear. And does this mean that NASA is a global warming denier?

Writing in Real Clear Markets, Aaron Brown looked at the official NASA global temperature data and noticed something that blew his mind. From February 2016 to February 2018, "global average temperatures dropped by 0.56 degrees Celsius." That, he notes, is the biggest two-year drop in the past century.

But Al Gore either has not read the report, or it somehow slipped his slippery mind.

"The 2016-2018 Big Chill," Brown writes, "was composed of two Little Chills, the biggest five month drop ever (February to June 2016) and the fourth biggest (February to June 2017). A similar event from February to June 2018 would bring global average temperatures below the 1980s average."

Isn't this just the sort of story the mainstream media always says is newsworthy?

Firefighters 'get real' from advice of NPR on climate change

Lightning, careless use of fire or arson are not the real problems causing Texas wildfires. It's global warming, so says National Proletariat Radio (NPR). And the best way to put fires out is by "getting real" on climate change.

Getting real. How profound.

So in response to that wisdom, Texas firefighters have put down their hoses, grounded their fire assault aircraft, and have taken to lobbying Washington for tighter regulations in support of global warming measures.

Rather than spraying water or chemicals on the raging blazes, fire crews are picking up plastic bags along the sides of roads and stopping motorists along Texas highways to check pollutant levels in their vehicles.

"It's working," Fire Chief Bobby  Freetoe told Vinny Boombots, a field reporter for Brain Flushings. "It's going to take a few more years, maybe a few more decades, but if we're really serious about these damn fires, we're going to have to nip climate change in the butt."

Public radio KUT in Austin reported: "It's Been A Bad Year For Texas Wildfires. It Will Probably Get Worse."

The station claimed four recent wildfires in Central Texas are part of an "uptick in fires" that "bares the fingerprints of climate change."

NPR quoted Geeta Persad, a climate scientist who claims that climate is "partly to blame" for 100-degree weather, a record originally set in 1925 and far from an anomaly in Austin.

But Donald Falk, an ecologist who is a member of University of Arizona's "Climate Justice Network" places global warming as the main problem, proving that ecologists like Falk are ideologues. He said the only way to fight wildfires is by "getting real and confronting climate change."

It was Falk's words that inspired the new approach by Texas firefighters.

So far it hasn't worked and people are dying. But there's hope that if we just recycle, drive electric cars, watch our carbon emissions, and prefer paper over plastic, those fires will die out.

Schwarzenegger uses private jet to dry his clothes: 'Saves energy'

Arnold Schwarzenegger is going green, he says. No longer will he galavant around in his private jet, a vehicle that burns more fossil fuel in one trip than gasoline-driven cars burn in a year, but will make use of the natural environment to keep the air fresh and clean.

Arnold will be hanging his clothes, and those of his current mistress, on the vertical stabilizer of his jet. He is also planning to use the engine of his Hummer to cook hot meals, something he became inspired to do after reading "Manifold Destiny" and realizing how we waste precious energy and pollute the environment.

Arnold used his private jet almost daily to fly from his home in Brentwood to the governor's mansion in Sacramento.

Schwarzenegger feels

like, "Hey, why use over 550 gallons of fuel per hour and not get your clothing dried at the same time?"

The muscle-laden former governor of California is going after modern energy use and says he wants to take oil companies to court "for knowingly killing people all over the world" through alleged "global warming" impacts. 

He is not referring to Third World countries that burn cow dung paddies to keep their huts and butts warm and can switch over to cleaner methods thanks to the oil and coal industries. 

He's referring to the global warming caused by people driving cars and not using their engine blocks to cook a decent meal, or hang their clothing out to dry, or waste fuel if they're not a governor or other entitled person.

Schwarzenegger drives several Hummers, as I've said, and they burn more fuel than the average family sedan. But Arnold has one of his Hummers converted to run on hydrogen and is having scientists look into the efficacy of harvesting cow farts.

"Did you know that air-drying your clothes for six months saves 700 pounds of carbon dioxide?" he asked in his Governor's Earth Day message in 2009. But the ex-governor still hasn't had the time to go out an buy a clothes line, so he still uses his jet aircraft to save carbon dioxide and plans to put it in a carbon dioxide bank.

In 2016, Arnold threatened climate skeptics on a video: "Some politicians even want to shut down the EPA's ability to regulate carbon. I would like to strap their mouths to the exhaust pipe of a truck, turn on the engine and let's see how long it would take them to tap out."

Sounds kind of Antifa-ish, if you ask me. Imagine the lip burns they would get before 'tapping out.'

So not only is the Terminator a hypocrite; he's also a sadistic hypocrite who believes in the saying: "Do as I say, not as I do."

Gov't website says Santa to move to South Pole due to global warming

A rather moronic Canadian government website claims Santa Claus signed an international agreement to move his workshop to the South Pole in order to escape the ravages of man-made global warming in the Arctic. Seriously.

The website for Policy Horizons Canada, states that due to "rapidly melting Arctic ice and growing human operations in the North, Santa Claus has signed an agreement with the International community to relocate his village next year to operate in an exclusive zone in the South Pole."

The Canadian government . . . wow!

This was possibly inspired by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who is not only as far left as Barack Obama, but is as intelligent as a pile of laundry.

Policy Horizons was created to discuss and advise government officials about new public policy issues. They put out a series of blog posts with Christmas themes that tie into emerging libtard policy concerns.

The geniuses at Horizons had also blogged about Santa relying on a self-flying sleigh, making toys with a 3D printer and investing in Bitcoin. But this one, the latest one, is meant to focus on climate refugees.

"This deal is expected to lead to the deployment of a global climate change refugee visa system that in the near future could help to more easily relocate individuals and corporations facing the impacts of climate change," the website morons continue.

So while these geniuses call conservatives 'science deniers,' they need to resort to using a children's character to convince us of the emergency of global warming.

Tomorrow is Boxing Day. The temperature in Canada's capital, Ottawa, is expected to drop to -29C. The Rideau Canal is frozen--it's one of the world's longest ice skating venues.

I don't see that as a global warming emergency and stuff is definitely not melting.

Merry Christmas!

Global warming driving record snowfall in Alaskan mountains

Snowfalls atop Alaskan mountain range have doubled since the beginning of the industrial age, which proves global warming is real . . . at least climate change is real.

The fact that the snow has double lends some evidence that climate change can trigger major increases in regional precipitation, according to research published in the journal Scientific Reports on Tuesday.

The study, conducted by researchers from Dartmouth College (go Big Green!) the University of Maine (go Black Bears!) and the University of New Hampshire (go Wildcats!) shows levels in the Alaska Range at the highest in no less than 1,200 years, (or 438,000 days, or 10,512,000 hours), averaging about 18 feet per year from around 8 feet per year from 1600 to 1840.

"We were shocked when we first saw how much snowfall has increased," said Erich Osterberg, assistant professor of earth sciences at Dartmouth College and a flaming liberal who is the principal investigator for the research. "We had to check and double-check our results to make sure of the findings," Osterberg asserted, as if scientists before him never double-checked.

So it isn't the cold weather that brings the snow; it's the warm weather.

Now that we see clearly the earth is warming we must immediately do everything we can to prevent this from happening.  I suggest that we:

a) use paper, never plastic b) recyclec) reduce bovine flatulenced) go vegane) consider going transgender--it won't stop global warming but it's now the cool thing to dof) finally, identify as a planet unto yourself. This way you can cool off in the shower when fear of global warming overcomes you

Please, if you can think of another way to prevent global warming or climate change, write it in the comment section below after clicking on one of the ads on this blog, as that will help me go on a Caribbean vacation and get away from all this snow.

New Report slams global warming: "Not reality ..."

World leaders, particularly those in the EU, have criticized President Trump for pulling out of the Paris Climate Agreement. The agreement would have saddled the US with many billions of dollars in debt and economic losses while other nations didn't need to do much more than shake hands and collect a bunch of money.

Now a new report that analyzed Global Average Surface Temperature (GAST) has blown the doors off Al Gore's private polluting jet. The report, produced by NASA, the NOAA and HADLEY proves Trump was right on target with his refusal to be part of the farce.

According to the report, which was peer reviewed by the EPA, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, several of America's leading universities, administrators and scientists, the data is nothing more than balderdash.

In this research report, the most important surface data adjustment issues are identified and past changes in previous historical data are quantified. It was found that each new version of GAST has nearly always shown a steeper warming linear trend over its entire history.

The conclusive findings are that the three GAST data sets are not a valid representation of reality. In fact, the magnitude of their historical data adjustments, that removed their cyclical temperature patterns, are totally inconsistent with published and credible U.S. and other temperature data.

What this means is that it's impossible to conclude from the three published GAST data sets that the recent years have been the warmest ever, despite the Al Gorean imbeciles claiming record setting warming.

Since GAST data set validity is a necessary condition for the EPA's GHG/CO2 Endangerment Finding, it's also invalidated by these findings, which only shows warming, never cooling as historical data shows. They conveniently left that out.

What this all means is that the data has been falsified and tampered with, but we all know the left will claim that some deniers just want to destroy the earth.

The real data looks a lot like this:










But you'll never get the left to admit it.

So the establishment will continue to push the need for huge, costly initiatives to reduce green house gases and global temperatures to "normal" levels. Even though there is no global warming according to the report.

The best part is that nobody supporting the Paris Climate Agreement and the other initiatives have a clue what their massive regulations will really do to curb climate change--just ask them and watch their eyes glaze over like donuts.

Like Al Jazeera Gore and Bill Nye "the Pseudoscience Guy," I'm not a meteorologist nor an expert on global warming/climate change. 

As a realist, however, I don't see an immediate problem here. In fact, I see global warming, if it even exists microscopically, as a good thing, particularly for third world countries where people use toxic materials like cow dung to keep warm.

And anyone who goes to see Gore's sequel to his first fake documentary is going to witness more balderdash.

Gore has something to sell you

Climate change expert poser, Nobel Peace Prize oxymoron winner and 'gay divorcee'  Al Gore is now making the idiotic claim that the climate 'battle' is just like the fight against slavery and apartheid. What a schmuck.

By the way, have you noticed how many Nobel Peace Prize winners did absolutely nothing to promote peace?

It was bad enough that Gore made millions off a movie  about global warming, using fake statistics and general BS to con the public, and that he sold his crappy TV station to Al Jazeera making millions more, he is now likening the "battle" over climate change (which was once called 'global warming' but that wasn't working out too well for the left) to humanity's greatest struggles such as the battles against slavery, apartheid and nuclear proliferation.

He told this to a gaggle of gullible Australians (disclaimer: not all Australians are gullible) Thursday in another BS speech that people actually paid him to deliver.

In a July 13 speech to the EcoCity World Summit in Melbourne . . . EcoCity World Summit in Melbourne, Gore, the world's first carbon billionaire, said that combating global warming was "in the tradition of all the great moral causes that have improved the circumstances of humanity throughout our history."

He said this after deplaning from his private jet and, like Leonardo DiCaprio and Barack Obama, is one of the biggest carbon footprint polluters on the planet.

In a bowel moving speech Gore said, "The abolition of slavery, woman's suffrage and women's rights, the civil rights movement and the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa, the movement to stop the toxic phase of nuclear arms race and more recently the gay rights movement," leaving no identity political group out that might enrich him even more.

This isn't the first time Gore has fantasized an analogy between climate change and civil rights. Perhaps he's trying to make up for the fact that his father, Albert Gore Sr., voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

The Washington Times has an interesting piece on Gore's hypocrisy using the Civil Rights movement as if he owned it.

And of course, the main reason Gore is touring Australia with his climate change charade is because he's having a documentary "An Inconvenient Sequel," the follow-up of his first fake documentary that has been disproven.

Anyone who spends money on that propaganda is being laughed at by Gore all the way to the bank.

Al Gore pondering global warming

Let me be clear: there is evidence of global warming but the United States is already making great efforts to lessen human influence. However, without other nations like China, India and Russia doing their part, the difference is negligible. And moreover, it isn't understood exactly how much human influence is to blame, nor whether humans can reverse the effects.

On a positive note: we have always been able to master the earth's climate with technology. The time it would take for global warming to become a threat, rather than the current lifesaver it is for poor countries, is in the distant future.

For the time being, global warming is a good thing.

Trillion ton iceberg creaks off Antarctica

A seriously yooge iceberg, a trillion tons--one of the largest ever recorded-- has literally snapped off the West Antarctic ice shelf! Scientists have been monitoring the 2,200-square mile for years, reports The Hindu.

"The calving occurred sometime between Monday, July 10 and Wednesday, July 12, when a 5,800-square kilometer section of Larsen C (ice shelf) finally broke away," the Swansea University said in a statement.

The iceberg is larger than Delaware, has a volume twice a that of Lake Erie and is about 1,100 feet thick.

"The iceberg weighs more than a trillion tons, but it was already floating before it calved away so has no immediate impact on sea level," the team said. It will probably be named A68 and the calving will probably be blamed on President Trump by the Democrats for not signing the Paris Climate accord.

The Larsen C ice shelf has lost over 12 percent of its total surface area from the calving. Although calving from Antarctica is a regular occurrence, the size of this iceberg will force us to watch it closely as it travels as it can pose a risk to shipping traffic.

The Swansea team also said the calving my have increased the risk of the remaining ice shelf disintegrating.

Ice shelves float on the sea, and are fed by slow-flowing glaciers from the land. They act as enormous brakes that keep glaciers from flowing directly into the ocean. 

If the glaciers held back by Larsen C split into the Antarctic Ocean, it would lift the global water lever about 4 inches, researchers believe.

The calving of ice shelves is a natural occurrence--it has nothing to do with Al Gore's global warming, but some researchers believe that it may have accelerated the process.

Warmer ocean water erodes the underbelly of the shelves, while rising air temperatures weaken them from above.

The nearby Larsen A ice shelf collapsed in 1995 and Larsen B broke up in 2002.

"We will continue to monitor both the impact of this calving event on the Larsen C ice shelf and the fate of this huge iceberg," lead investigator Adrian Luckman said. "Some of the ice may remain in the area for decades, while parts of the iceberg may drift north into warmer waters."

Human actions have lifted average global air temperatures by about 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit (1 degree Celsius).

Scientific method deniers march to protest climate policies

(Photo: Washington Post)

The scientific method is something almost all school kids are taught. Science Buddies, a website for science-inspired youth, defines the scientific method thus:

The scientific method is a process for experimentation that is used to explore observations and answers questions. Does this mean all scientists follow exactly this process? No. Some area of science can be more easily tested than others. For example, scientists studying how stars change as they age or how dinosaurs digested their food cannot fast forward a star's life by a million years or run medical exams on feeding dinosaurs to test their hypotheses. When direct experimentation is not possible, scientists modify the scientific method. In fact, there are probably as many versions of the scientific method as there are scientists! But even when modified, the goal remains the same: to discover cause and effect relationships by asking questions, carefully gathering and examining the evidence, and seeing if all the available information can be combined in to a logical answer.

Even though we show the scientific method as a series of steps, keep in mind that new information or thinking might cause a scientist to back up and repeat steps at any point during the process. A process like the scientific method that involves such backing up and repeating is called an iterative process.

Except if you're a liberal  demanding action on climate change. Then scientific method, not so much. In fact, if you question the left's take on climate change (which used to be called 'global warming' but then the earth stopped warming) they will refer to you as a 'science denier.'

Scientists cannot fast forward the future to determine what the earth's climate will be, although there is evidence that the earth is warming very slowly.

What scientists cannot know at this time is how much human beings contribute to climate, and even if we do, will anything within our power be able to have an effect on climate change.

The hypocrisy within the climate change movement is palpable as the limousine liberals fly to protest demonstrations in their private fuel-guzzling jets, burning more fossil fuel in one flight than the average person burns in a year. (You know who you are, Mr. DiCaprio.)

In Washington D.C., thousands of scientifically challenged protesters are marching Saturday on President Trump's 100th day in office. The are demanding action on climate change and they plan to encircle the White House.

Even former President Obama, a person who told us that generations from his election that "this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal," ended up not changing anything but race relations.

In Boston Common, people gathered to challenge Trump's first 100 days in office by protesting his agenda.

Socialist organizers say about 300 protest marches are expected to take place around the country.

The Peoples Climate March, a name reminiscent of Communist-style regimes, object to President Trump's relaxed restrictions on oil drilling, mining and greenhouse gas emissions at coal-fired power plants. 

None of the protesters actually works in any capacity at a job these industries produce but they sure as day use what they produce.
