‘Eco-guilt is a first-world luxury’
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!
“Anthropogenic global warming is the biggest, most dangerous and ruinously expensive con trick in history.”
Remember when climate hysterics claimed “the science is settled?” That claim didn’t weather well, but it also didn’t stop the climate liars: “The scientific consensus that humans are altering the climate has passed 99.9%, according to research that strengthens the case for global action at the Cop26 summit in Glasgow,” the Guardian reported in 2021. The Cornell University climate study the Guardian cites in the article was “supported” (funded) by Alliance for Science. “Support for the Alliance for Science is provided by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.”
But the hysterics just moved on from that lie to other climate lies.
A little over one year ago, California Governor Gavin Newsom announced his pompous plan for addressing “California’s hotter, drier future:”
“Hotter and drier weather conditions spurred by climate change could reduce California’s water supply by up to 10 percent by the year 2040. To replace and replenish what we will lose to thirstier soils, vegetation, and the atmosphere, Governor Gavin Newsom has announced California’s latest actions to increase water supply and adapt to more extreme weather patterns caused by climate change.”
Think about that arrogant statement – as if California politicians are going to stop hot weather. But the joke was on the governor with record rainfall and snowfall in the winter of 2023… except that didn’t stop him. Since then, we’ve been barraged with absurd radio advertisements warning us, “now that we face a hotter, dryer future…” and “let’s make conservation a way of life,” providing helpful hints about saving water.
Enjoy the water-saving brilliance, brought to you by the Drought.CA.gov website:
- If it’s raining, turn off your sprinklers
- Take 5-minute showers
- Fill bathtubs halfway or less
- Turn off water when brushing teeth or shaving
- Wash full loads of clothes and dishes
- Fix leaks
- Set mower blades to 3″
- Use a broom to clean outdoor areas
- Improve landscape irrigation
Taxpayers paid for this babble. With the state sending 50% of the water to the Pacific Ocean for environmental purposes, of the remaining 50%, 40% goes to agriculture, and 10% is urban use. Setting your mower blade to 3″ isn’t going to make a measurable amount of water conservation.
And, as we heard this week, PG&E will be shutting off the power when it is windy. Never in California’s history have energy providers shut off power when it was windy. This is a new policy, and is criminal – we are paying for that electricity. Who will be the first to sue over this?
According to the governor, “California’s Water Supply Strategy, Adapting to a Hotter, Drier Future calls for investing in new sources of water supply, accelerating projects and modernizing how the state manages water through new technology.”
Refuting this drivel is not difficult.
One way is to read the monthly reports by E&E Legal, the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI), the Heartland Institute, Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT), the International Climate Science Coalition (ICSC), and Truth in Energy and Climate, which just released another version of “Climate Fact Check,” for July.
“Climate Fact Check: July 2023 Edition highlights sensationalized stories about the climate, which is typical for the corporate media propaganda machine, although not rooted in reality.”
“The media is calling July 2023 the ‘hottest month on record’ and even the ‘hottest month in the history of civilization.’ Keeping in mind that July is typically the warmest month of every year, NASA satellite data indicate that July 2023 was the warmest July in the satellite record. But that record only dates back to 1979 and there certainly were Julys before 1979.”
This is Very interesting:
Recalling that average global temperature is on the order of 58°F, use of the term “hottest” is obviously quite an exaggeration. Finally, the notion of “average global temperature” is not really meaningful in the first place. It has no physical reality, and its component satellite and surface station temperature measurements lack precision to a significant degree.
The group of actual scientists debunk recent reporting of the Washington Post’s claims of an “Era of Global Boiling”:
And no, extreme heat is not killing more people. The scientists confirm that “it is well established that cold weather kills many more people than hot weather.”
In an old interview (2009) at the Spectator, James Delingpole talked to Professor Ian Plimer, the Australian geologist who dispelled much of the nonsense:
“…geologists have always recognized that climate changes over time. Where we differ from a lot of people pushing Anthropogenic global warming is in our understanding of scale. They’re only interested in the last 150 years. Our time frame is 4,567 million years. So what they’re doing is the equivalent of trying to extrapolate the plot of Casablanca from one tiny bit of the love scene. And you can’t. It doesn’t work.”
“What Heaven And Earth sets out to do is restore a sense of scientific perspective to a debate which has been hijacked by ‘politicians, environmental activists and opportunists’. It points out, for example, that polar ice has been present on earth for less than 20 per cent of geological time; that extinctions of life are normal; that climate changes are cyclical and random; that the CO2 in the atmosphere — to which human activity contributes the tiniest fraction — is only 0.001 per cent of the total CO2 held in the oceans, surface rocks, air, soils and life; that CO2 is not a pollutant but a plant food; that the earth’s warmer periods — such as when the Romans grew grapes and citrus trees as far north as Hadrian’s Wall — were times of wealth and plenty.”
How did this common sense not get more traction? We can thank the media for that, and the global nonprofits funded by hateful billionaires.
Looking at the mind numbingly imbecilic headlines reminds us that the stupid people are in charge of everything right now – they are easier to control.
Plimer said “modern environmentalism is that it is driven by people who are ‘too wealthy’. ‘When I try explaining “global warming” to people in Iran or Turkey they have no idea what I’m talking about. Their life is about getting through to the next day, finding their next meal. Eco-guilt is a first-world luxury. It’s the new religion for urban populations which have lost their faith in Christianity. The IPCC report is their Bible. Al Gore and Lord Stern are their prophets.’”
Doesn’t matter how Duh People feel. Elites moving the levers of power are making decisions.
They’re converting roads to bike lanes. They’re building sea walls to hold back rising water. They’re constructing 100 unit apartment buildings with 75 parking spaces.
Think with the Brain that our Creator gave each one of us!- also common sense! Depend on true Gut Feelings- also do research – as much as the controlling commies will allow on the research engine- be what it may I research Covid every way possible until I finally got a site that told the truth!! it’s a Corona Virus family member- did I take the shot @ 84 Hell no- will I take any new shot double Hell no! Or shut down – mask wearing money making bs no! When you try to do research on a subject with opposing opinions & none are there stop & think why?? When you try to post or comment – someone is hacking your post – juggling your words or you aren’t allowed or recognize on any of your old sites then you know damn well – they don’t want the refreshing TRUTH TOLD
One cannot fix crazy. One cannot communicate and reason with crazy. Opt out. Civil disobedience.
Sorry got off track same way with climate change- we did all right getting our new country started- with all the marvelous chance takers visionary dreamers miss steps – mistakes- things -actions – sins – that never should have been said and done- Were learning – growing getting better all the time-But we didn’t fall for every snake salesman that comes along- certainly not some 2 bit dictator who’s been making millions along with the crew of schysters (sic) still trying to sell us a bill of goods- to keep enriching their over bloated bank account- only One is in CONTROL OF OUR CLIMATE- HE WHO CREATED IT- OUR HEAVENLY FATHER GOD ALMIGHTY AMEN !! NOW TAKE THAT TO THE BANK!!
Politicians have been funding scientific studies to SUPPORT climate change hysteria for years. They know that quoting “experts” allows them to demand more tax money to fund what ever “world saving solution” they want and there is no way to prove if any of it does any good or bad. A perfect political ploy.
We need an open national discussion, on TV with qualified scientists on both sides of the argument given the opportunity to publicly PROVE there data. The public has a “need to know”.
I have a feeling that “gaslighting” will be the primary problem with climate change. Not carbon.
How did Greenland get its name, anyway?
Oh, that name came before climate change.
Lakes and rivers used to humidify what is now desert.
Green forests now erased under sand dunes.
Millions of wild cattle and bison grazed and emitted methane.
Before that, millions of giant reptiles trudged through methane-emitting, CO2-emiiting swamps.
AlGorythms are late to the show, Climate has changed, warm to cold to warm, without the aid of human-made internal combustion engines. Too late, Al, Bill, Greta, and all you other crisisologists, the earth has been there, done that and survived. Life forms have survived and thrived through multitudes of solar and volcanic climate changers.
The geologists report over and over the record of climate changes written in the bones of the earth, hurricanes eating most of the Yucatan peninsula, massive landslides bringing down eons of successive lake and river deposits, dinosaur tracks and fish bones high on mountains.
Can’t call me a climate denier, but I do deny the sky is falling, and I object to my taxes being wasted on the destruction of our lifestyle and economic abundance in the name of climate change!
Gavin Newsom was made a “Young Global Leader” by Klaus Schwab in Davos in 2008. http://www.maloneinstitute.org The WEF uses Climate Change as an Attack Vector to Control You. Remember, China and India build dozens of coal – fired power plants every year. But we have to sacrifice. And there are dozens of American corporations that support the WEF. See the list of Traitors at: http://www.weforum.org/partners
Rigged elections have consequences.
The main reason why California lacks water at times is that we have too many illegals drinking and bathing in our water. If we deport ALL illegals, things might get back to as normal as possible under the current circumstances. However, politically it appears America is screwed. Too many ingrates voting Democrat to see how much they can get for free.
The Biden administration has allowed 6 million illegal “asylum seekers” into the US. The average human being, at rest, exhales about 2.5 pounds of CO2 per day. Biden has increased the US emissions of CO2 by 15 million pounds per day. And that doesn’t count the resources that must be expended to feed,house, bathe transport or medicate them. Is anyone counting?
Hey “Wake up BRAIN dead Fascists NAZI democrats…..CHINA AND INDIA are responsible for over 60% of OZONE GASES……So it does NOT MATTER what the US does BECAUSE CHINA AND INDIA will NEVER CHANGE THAT…..So the Next time a TREE HUGGER OPENS THEIR STUPID MOUTH POINT OUT THE FACT THEY NEED TO GO TO CHINA AND INDIA TO PREACH THEIR GARBAGE….
You do not need to know anything about the “science” to understand that California’s climate policies are nonsense. The way to “save the planet” is to cut global emissions. Global emissions are still rising according to the UNEP Emissions Gap Reports. California’s policies will not change the global policy failure. If a doctor pursued a useless and harmful treatment they would be sued. Morally, pursuing useless and harmful policies affecting millions of people is much worse.

And finally, no matter how much the climate extremists trip out on what humanity is doing to the planet, there is always a good-sized asteroid or meteor that can and may slam into the earth, wiping out civilization BUT THIS THIRD ROCK FROM THE SUN WILL CONTINUE ON ITS WAY NO MATTER WHAT POLITICAL SIDE A PERSON TAKES…AND CLIMATE CHANGE BE DAMNED!
