Greta Thunberg’s Refusal to Fly on Airplanes Leaves Her Stranded on Wrong Side of the Globe

/0 Comments/in , /by

Climate change activist Greta Thunberg is asking for help after her refusal to fly on airplanes has left her stranded on the wrong side of the globe.

The Swedish teenager’s plea came on Friday after the United Nations announced the COP25 environmental summit would be hosted in Madrid, Spain. The summit was slated to take place in Chile, but the South American country withdrew hosting responsibilities this week amid national civil unrest.

“As #COP25 has officially been moved from Santiago to Madrid I’ll need some help. It turns out I’ve traveled half around the world, the wrong way,” Thunberg wrote on Twitter. “Now I need to find a way to cross the Atlantic in November… If anyone could help me find transport I would be so grateful.”

Thunberg traveled to the Americas ahead of the United Nations Climate Action Summit in New York in September. Because she refuses to fly on airplanes, Thunberg made the nearly 3,000-mile journey across the Atlantic Ocean via sailboat.

Climate Alarmists Struggle With War on Cow Farts

/1 Comment/in , /by

Environmentalists intent on finding new ways to reduce so-called greenhouse gas emissions to curb climate change have proposed a novel method: feed cows seaweed to diminish methane in flatulence, belches, and manure.

Ermias Kebreab, an zoology professor at the University of California–Davis, led a team in producing a bovine meal regimen containing varying levels of Asparagopsis armata, a strain of red seaweed, and fed it to 12 dairy cows over a two-month period. In a mix containing just 1 percent seaweed, the cows’ methane emissions went down by a stunning 60 percent. . .

A 2012 United Nations report revealed that the earth’s cattle population produces more carbon dioxide than automobiles, planes, and all other forms of transport combined. Moreover, the cow pies they drop and the wind they break produce a third of the world’s methane emissions, which traps 84 times as much heat as carbon dioxide.

In the summer of 2016, EcoWatch published an article confirming that greenhouse gas emissions from livestock actually account for a higher percentage of total global emissions than the world’s 1.2 billion automobiles.

Kebreab’s cow experiment sought to replicate results from researchers at Australia’s James Cook University, who mixed bacteria from cows’ digestive systems with red seaweed and discovered a significant decrease in methane production. Their experiment suggested that tweaking a cow’s diet to include 2 percent seaweed could reduce its methane emissions by as much as 99 percent.

University Dumps Professor Who Found Polar Bears Thriving Despite Climate Change

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Nobody has done more to sink the claim that climate change is endangering polar bears than zoologist Susan Crockford — and she may have paid for it with her job.

After 15 years as an adjunct assistant professor, Ms. Crockford said the University of Victoria rejected without explanation in May her renewal application, despite her high profile as a speaker and author stemming from her widely cited research on polar bears and dog domestication.

Ms. Crockford accused officials at the Canadian university of bowing to “outside pressure,” the result of her research showing that polar bear populations are stable and even thriving, not plummeting as a result of shrinking Arctic sea ice, defying claims of the climate change movement.

Her dismissal, which she announced Wednesday in a post on her Polar Bear Science blog, has spurred alarm over the implications for academic freedom and the rise of the “cancel culture” for professors and scientists who challenge climate catastrophe predictions. . .

Ms. Crockford cited numerous instances of the university promoting her interviews and work, including her participation in a 2007 PBS “Nature” documentary about dog domestication and evolution, as well as her appearances at K-12 schools and adult groups for 10 years through the University of Victoria Speakers Bureau.

WATCH: Climate Change Protester Chains Himself to a Car and Cries

/0 Comments/in , /by

A climate change protester who chained himself to a car was caught on camera crying because his two kids are worried about their future.

Protests took place in the United Kingdom and all around the world on Monday. The protest was organized by Extinction Rebellion, who want the United Kingdom’s Parliament to take action on climate change.

One man, along with a few other protesters, was chained to a car and said he was taking action because his kids, four years and ten months, are “very frightened of their future.” After he took out a picture of them, the man started to cry.

The BBC reports over 270 activists have been arrested so far. Many of them barricaded themselves in cars in the middle of roads and blocked bridges. One group of protesters glued themselves to scaffolding in the middle of a square.

Dozens Arrested in Climate Change Protests — and Activists Put on Quite a Spectacle (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

More than 30 activists were arrested during climate change demonstrations across the District of Columbia on Monday, and while they did gain some attention, it might not have been the kind they were looking for. . .

WTTG-TV reported that 32 people were picked up by police with arrests happening throughout the day, as protestors shut down several roads and highways dancing in the street and carrying signs protesting capitalism while demanding action on the “climate emergency.”

One activist raised eyebrows across the Twittersphere, as footage of him dancing while confetti was being thrown liberally caused critics on both sides of the political aisle to point out the irony of littering at an environmental demonstration.

FBI Arrests U.S. Soldier for Allegedly Planning to Be a Domestic Terrorist

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .According to NBC News, when an undercover FBI agent suggested to 24-year-old Pfc. Jarrett William Smith that he wanted to bomb a “liberal Texas mayor,” Smith quipped back “Outside of Beto?” He did not try to discourage the agent from targeting a mayor, but instead said that he didn’t “know enough people that would be relevant enough to cause a change if they died.” . . .

The BBC reported that Smith also wanted to go to Ukraine and join a far-right paramilitary group, or kill members of Antifa. He also talked about carrying out attacks in the United States and was telling multiple people online how to build bombs.

“Oh yeah, I got knowledge of IEDs for days,” Smith reportedly said in a Facebook chat according to NBC News. “We can make cell phone IEDs in the style of the Afghans. I can teach you that.” This chat was allegedly with Craig Lang, an American who had joined a nationalist paramilitary group in Ukraine. . .

“There have been cases where Middle Eastern insurgents built these bombs only for them to detonate prematurely because telemarketers or people with wrong numbers who unwittingly called the devices,” he warned, according to the BBC.

AOC Issues Latest Climate Scare, Claims Major U.S. City Could Be Gone ‘in a Few Years’ (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Fox News. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., appeared to make another stark prediction about climate change this week, suggesting an entire city would vanish within “a few years.”

Ocasio-Cortez was touting her “Green New Deal” program at a NAACP forum Wednesday when she addressed critics who have called her plans “not realistic.”

“What is not realistic is not responding to the crisis — not responding with a solution on the scale of the crisis,” she said. “Because what’s not realistic is Miami not existing in a few years. That’s not realistic. So, we need to be realistic about the problem.” . . .

“We need to start getting comfortable with how extreme the problem is,” she said, “because only until we accept … how bad climate change is and how bad it can be for our children’s lives, are we going to be comfortable pursuing really big solutions.” (Read more from “AOC Issues Latest Climate Scare, Claims Major U.S. City Could Be Gone ‘in a Few Years’” HERE)

AOC Says She’s Woken up at 3:30 A.M. Because of Her Anxiety About Climate Change

By Fox News. Freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., claims she has awakened frightened from sleep at 3:30 a.m. because she’s worried about the negative effects of climate change on the world.

Ocasio-Cortez was livestreaming on Instagram Wednesday and answering questions from viewers, when she acknowledged having extreme angst over the state of the climate.

“Even while I was on vacation, I woke up in the middle of the night, at 3:30 in the morning, just concerned about climate change,” she said. . .

“I’m 29 years old. I really struggle sometimes with the idea of how to be a policymaker and potentially have a family in the time of climate change,” she said. “And it really, like, freaks me out and it can be really, really scary.”

Scientist Wants to End ‘Conservative’ Taboo Against Cannibalism to Fight Climate Change

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Swedish behavioral scientist Magnus Söderlund said last week that humans must “awaken to the idea” of eating human flesh as a way to combat the effects of climate change.

Söderlund, a researcher at the Stockholm School of Economics, advanced the idea of eating people after they die Tuesday on Sweden’s TV4. He had earlier in the week held a seminar on the subject at the Gastro Summit fair in Stockholm.

According to Söderlund, as climate change makes food sources increasingly scare, people will have to learn to eat things that are now considered disgusting, including pets, insects, and most of all, human flesh, the Epoch Times reported.

A promotion for his Sept 2-3 talk read: “Is cannibalism the solution to food sustainability in the future? Does Generation Z have the answers to our food challenges? Can consumers be tricked into making the right decisions? At GastroSummit, you will get some answers to these questions―and also partake in the latest scientific findings and get to meet the leading experts.”

Söderlund, who is also a marketing strategist, told the audience that the main impediment to his proposal is the ancient taboo against cannibalism. He predicted that “conservative” attitudes would be an obstacle to its widespread acceptance in Sweden. But he said people could be won over gradually, starting with a tase.

The Ratings Are in for CNN’s Town Hall on Climate Change and They Are Not Good; Pete Buttigieg Says It’s a ‘Kind of Sin’ to Deny Global Warming

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Blaze. If the public’s concern for climate change can be measured by the ratings for CNN’s marathon climate town hall event, then there’s some very bad news for global warming enthusiasts.

Not only did the seven-hour event do poorly in the ratings, but the Fox News channel dominated in early ratings from Nielsen for the time period from 5 p.m. to midnight on Wednesday.

Fox News garnered 2.5 million viewers on average for the time period, which was more than double the average for CNN at 1.1 million viewers.

Fox News also had no special programming for the night.

Even MSNBC did better than CNN, with 1.6 million viewers on average. (Read more from “The Ratings Are in for CNN’s Town Hall on Climate Change and They Are Not Good” HERE)

Pete Buttigieg Says It’s a ‘Kind of Sin’ to Deny Global Warming

By The Blaze. Pete Buttigieg was praised by many on the left for using religious language during CNN’s climate change town hall, including the assertion that it was a “kind of sin” for skeptics to deny climate change.

“Let’s talk in language that is understood across the heartland about faith,” said Buttigieg, an openly gay presidential candidate.

“You know, if you believe that God is watching as poison is being belched into the air of creation, and people are being harmed by it ⁠— countries are at risk of vanishing in low-lying areas ⁠— what do you suppose God thinks of that?” he asked rhetorically. . .

“And you don’t have to be religious to see the moral dimensions of this, because frankly, every religious and non-religious moral tradition tell us that we have some responsibility of stewardship, some responsibility for taking care of what’s around us,” he continued. . .

“At least one way of talking about this is that it’s a kind of sin,” Buttigieg concluded.
