Be careful what you wish for, Chuckie, as you will surely get it.

 

 

Notice that one sign... "Our Farms are Flooding." Didn't Chuck U pass along the memo that farms are being outlawed?

You'd think these people would understand that Gates and China are busy buying up our farmland. Maybe talk to them about all of this.

DeSantis takes another swipe at ‘woke’ corporations, saying Florida won’t invest (msn.com)

 

IAMI — Continuing to target what he calls “woke” corporations, Gov. Ron DeSantis wants to prohibit state investments that use “environmental, social and governance” ratings, which can include taking into account impacts of climate change.

 
DeSantis plans to have the State Board of Administration, which oversees investments, direct pension-fund managers against “using political factors when investing the state’s money.” So-called ESG policies have drawn criticism from Republicans across the country.
 

“We want them (fund managers) to invest the state’s money for the best interests of the beneficiaries of those funds, which is, again, the people that are retired cops and teachers and other public employees,” DeSantis said Wednesday during an appearance at a Tampa restaurant.

DeSantis also intends to work during the 2023 legislative session with incoming House Speaker Paul Renner, R-Palm Coast, to put into law ESG prohibitions.

ESG practices can involve considering a wide range of issues in investments, such as companies’ climate-change vulnerabilities; carbon emissions; product safety; supply-chain labor standards; privacy and data security, and executive compensation.

You again, Leo?" Tweeted Bolsonaro. "I could tell you, again, to give up your yacht before lecturing the world, but I know progressives: you want to change the entire world but never yourselves, so I will let you off the hook."

 

"Between us, it's weird to see a dude who pretends to love the Planet paying more attention to Brazil than to the fires harming Europe and his own country," he continued.

 

But don't worry, Leo, unlike the places you are pretending not to see by brilliantly playing the role of a blind man, Brazil is and will carry on being the nation that most preserves. You can carry on playing with your Hollywood star toys as we do our job.

 

Actually, in my government average deforestation is way lower than it was in the past, when the crook turned candidate that your Brazilian buddy supports was in power.

 

It's clear that everyone who attacks Brazil and its sovereignty for the sake of virtue signaling doesn't have a clue about the matter. They don't know, for instance, that we preserve more than 80% of our native vegetation or that we have the cleanest energy among G20 nations.

 

It's also clear that you don't know that my government announced a new commitment to eradicate illegal deforestation by 2028, and not by 2030 as most countries. Or maybe you do know that, but for some reason pretend to be ignorant. I hope you not getting too much for this role.

Climate change is a reality in which a change becomes a crisis of climate, even though the climate has changed to the extent that we know, and we do know, that this is something that can not change without change.

 

In other news, Kamala suggests Congress killed the people who died in the Missouri and Kentucky floods.

Like there were never any floods in middle America before the "Climate Crisis" ?????

 

How shortsighted these morons are, and unfortunately the general public doesn't care to look for the truth. Droughts or floods, make up your mind.

Brawndo has electrolytes.

 

On a related note, Brawndo autocorrects to Brandon

The argument - usually poorly made by the "follow the science" crowd, since they don't follow the science - is that the climate is an oscillatory system, and when you put energy into an oscillatory system you don't move the equilibrium point to a higher energy state, you make the oscillations more extreme.  

 

Thus...more, and worse, droughts and floods.  Which seems to be what we're seeing.

 

The real problem with the science is that the estimation of "extremes" is based on a very fungible baseline that seems to change with whatever point the ranting loon is trying to make.  "This is the worst we've seen since 1970!  Or 1900!  Or 1600!  Or in 3000 years!  Or in 10,000 years!  Or in 800,000 years!"  It's a consistently arbitrary moving target that's you can't argue with, without being called a heretic.  What we seem to be seeing is based on a dogma that's unquestioned and unquestionable...hence, unscientific.

 

You know what my all-time favorite example is?  The IPCC's statement that we're in a 400-year period of abnormal warming, when compared to the previous 400 years.  Those previous 400 years being the "Little Ice Age."  The IPCC established that we're in a period of abnormal warming in comparison to a period of abnormal cooling.  :wallbash:

what?

a natural occurrence impacting climate

 

qucik- hit that volcano with some serious carbon taxes!

 

 

'Unprecedented' volcanic eruption released enough water vapor to heat Earth: report (msn.com)

 

On January 15th, 2022, Tonga's Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcano erupted, spewing tons of gas and ash into the atmosphere. According to a Wednesday report by National Public Radio, the blast contained enough water vapor – notorious for its heat-trapping abilities – to temporarily raise Earth's temperature.

19C ~= 66F

27C ~= 81F

 

But only for public spaces

 

Next up, adjust residential building construction codes to require "Smart" thermostats.

Followed up by subsidies on "Smart" thermostats to entice owners of existing homes to buy one

Followed up by adding regulations on electrical and natural gas service providers to require customer usage of "Smart" thermostats in their terms of service

Followed up by adding regulations that allow Governmental Regulatory agencies the ability to adjust anyone thermostat as they deem fit

Oh boy, where to begin:

 

-Diet of the average American is mostly mass-produced, chemical/sugar-filled, crap

-Time spent on Screens/internet

-Elimination of fitness standards in schools (racist!!)

-"Celebrating" obesity

-Helicopter parents restricting kids from going outside to play*

-Youth sports increasingly polarized into highly competitive leagues at very young ages or nothing (speculating a bit here, but my guess is total participation in many kids' sports is down).

 

 

 

 

* Just saw something on the 40th anniversary of the kidnapping/murder of Adam Walsh.  That one case and the media surrounded it (including a TV movie) had a profound effect on the paranoia of American parents.

I was just thinking: control that study for urban vs. rural children, and I'll bet there's a wide disparity.  That strongly correlates with rural kids having more opportunity get their asses outside and do things.

https://www.zerohedge.com/weather/big-green-lie-almost-everyone-claims-believe

 

The Big Green Lie—that carbon dioxide is a pollutant—is so pervasive that even those considered skeptics—including right-wing NGOs and pundits—generally adhere to the orthodoxy, differing not in their stated belief that CO2 is a pollutant but only in how calamitous a pollutant it is.

 

With almost everyone across the political spectrum publicly agreeing that curbing CO2 is a good thing, the debate has been between those who want to do good quickly by reaching Net Zero in 2040 and sticks in the mud who want to slow down the doing of a good thing. With discourse careening down rabbit holes, almost everyone gets lost pursuing solutions to Alice-in-Wonderland delusions—and wasting trillions of dollars in the process.

 

Until the 2000s, when climate change was still called global warming and the mainstream media still noticed that none of the myriad predictions of a climate catastrophe were being borne out—the polar caps weren’t melting, Manhattan wasn’t about to be submerged, malaria wasn’t infecting the northern hemisphere—many exposed man-made climate change as a hoax. The leaked Climategate emails revealed how scientists had conspired to “hide the decline” in temperatures that didn’t conform to their models. The claim that 97 percent of scientists supported the global warming theory was exposed as a fraud, as was the claim that the 4,000 scientists associated with the IPCC endorsed its report—those 4,000 hadn’t endorsed it, and most hadn’t even read it but had merely reviewed parts of the report and often disagreed with what they read.

 

The claim that the “science was settled” on climate change never withstood scrutiny.

 

 

The fantastical claim that CO2 is a pollutant was cut out of whole cloth. The 2008 statement by the 31,000 experts—that “there is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gasses is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth’s atmosphere and disruption of the Earth’s climate” is as true today as it was then, and as it always has been. No scientist anywhere at any time has shown that manmade CO2 emissions—aka nature’s fertilizer—do any harm to anything.

Getting out of the house when I was a kid was not forced. It was a means for survival.  If we stayed inside too long mom may have killed us. If nothing else we would have found ourselves knocked into the middle of next week. We woildnt have recognised each other because we would have had our faces smacked off.
