The Cimate! Shave The Planet!

When you thought it couldn't get any wackier...

Apparently, the supporters of the climate change hypothesis are jealous of the streaming service because they released something almost as funny as a comedian on Netflix. They are complaining that watching Netflix (or porn) releases CO2 into the atmosphere and causes Climate Change.

Per Maxime Efoui-Hess, which is associated with the French think tank The Shift Project: “Watching a half-hour show leads to emissions of up to 1.6 kilograms of carbon dioxide.” That’s the equivalent of driving 3.9 miles.

 

Extinction Rebellion - London Style (The Self-Extinguishing Phase)

So much for their clever plan to cover the Treasury building in fake blood...

Bumblers.

Don't let the vegan hold the hose!

It might have been a good idea to locate the "off" switch for the pump BEFORE engaging in idiocy. Just sayin'.

All in all, it seems safe to say that normal people have had about enough of the loons.

Both over there and here in the USA, people are increasingly fed up with the continued disruptions in their daily lives.

 

Good Points

It's curious that these folks have apparently never heard of teleconferencing. Nope, they have to fly to "climate conferences" in Copenhagen or Brazil or wherever. Unfortunately, they also fly back.

 

Oh My, Californians

Californians who screech about climate change were furious after discovering that the expensive solar panels they installed on their rooftops don’t work during a blackout unless they buy an equally expensive battery system. Moreover, beginning in January 2020, California has made it mandatory for all new homes to be built with solar panels.

That mandate adds between $10,000 and $15,000 to the cost of a house (don't they know there's a "homeless crisis" there?)...Anyway:

In other words, installing solar panels to combat climate change is not only more expensive, but has proven to be ineffective in helping maintain power during a blackout. So what’s the point?

Fortunately, leftists believe that interpretive dance can combat climate change.

 

And in the middle of it all: Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has declared a jihad on farting cows, saying they’re to blame for climate change.

Note to the nut: cows rarely fart; they mostly belch.

 

 

Paging AlGore And AOC

Spokane, Washington, was one town that was hit particularly hard by the snow on Tuesday. A record-breaking 3.3 inches of snow fell, the first measurable snow in the month of October since 2001. It also made this month the third-snowiest October on record, following 3.9 inches in October of 1975 and 6.1 inches in October of 1957.

While this may not sound like an excessive amount of snow, it accumulated on trees that still had yet to shed their leaves ahead of winter. The weight of this snow caused large limbs to snap and, in some cases, entire trees to fall.

This contributed to the 30,000 power outages across the Spokane area on Wednesday morning.

A blizzard warning was issued for five counties by the National Weather Service in Grand Forks, North Dakota. The warning was slated to go into effect from 10 a.m. Friday until 1 p.m. CDT Saturday.

And So It Begins In California

(CNN)In an attempt to avoid sparking a wildfire, California's largest utility intentionally cut power to hundreds of thousands of customers Wednesday, and power isn't likely to be restored for days, the company said. San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo urged residents on Monday to prepare to be without power for as long as seven days.

By Tuesday evening, local newspapers were reporting that PG&E was going to shut off power for an area with about 2.4 million people by the next morning. Those include residents on dialysis and home oxygen and who use electric wheelchairs. It also includes families and individuals who live paycheck to paycheck and can barely afford the groceries currently in their fridge, which will likely spoil.

Maybe you only found out when your lights wouldn’t turn on Wednesday morning. By then, store parking lots were filled with people stuffing ice into their trunks. Batteries in drugstore aisles were flying off the shelves. Hardware stores were running out of flashlights. Lines at gas stations stretched for blocks. The lights were out inside the rainbow-arched Robin Williams Tunnel that connects Marin County to the Golden Gate Bridge.

Unquestionably, this action is going to cost businesses and residents a lot of cash - likely into the billions. And there's likely to be a significant death toll. Especially since they've cut power to large parts of places like Oakland.

This is a man-made disaster.

Meanwhile, natural disasters are on the way, as Denver plunges into an overnight deep-freeze:

A drastic temperature drop Wednesday will make it feel like Denver has gone from fall to winter in 24 hours.

Temperatures there will plummet from a high around 80 degrees Fahrenheit Wednesday to below freezing for Thursday's high.

 

And it won't be just Denver; freeze warnings extend from the Midwest to Texas. Hope they can get the warming shelters open quickly.....

 

 

I Didn't Know The Dutch Had This Many Farmers

And they're not happy.

 

Update: September Snow

Global Warming Update - "Unprecedented" Winter Storm Emergency. Record Breaking Snowfall in September. Dumps 4 ft of Snow around the West.

Even here in Portland it's been unseasonably cold; nearly 10 ft. of snow is on nearby Mount Hood, and skiers are hitting the slopes, as are the avid snow-shoe folks. Click the link for an interesting brief video that shows what's been happening in the past couple of days in various parts of the West.

Amusing responses, as well:

Maybe they can get that confused kid-Greta--to do a pumped up crisis report on it. She could look up at the snow and say, How dare you!"

hey al...wanna tell me again how snowfall will be a thing of the past by 2010..no 15...no 20

Only 12 years left to achieve my perfect 300 game. But NOOOOO! I have to take time to scoop out from several feet of global warming in the first week of autumn.

Here in Portland, we got cold, but not snow - we got rain downpours instead. The dog was bugging me, wanting to go outside. So I opened the door to let him into the back yard. He took one look, asked if I was nuts, then turned around and went back to his spot on the couch. He doesn't do downpours.

Adherents to the Religion of AGW had no comment.

 

Just Acting

Greta Thunberg

Actress | Miscellaneous Crew

 

Greta Thunberg was born on January 3, 2003 in Sweden as Greta Tintin Eleonora Ernman Thunberg. She is known for her work on Ave paraíso (2019), Climate Change: The Facts (2019) and Heti Dörgés Villám Gézával (2019).

 

You can run, but you can't hide.

 

[to the U.N. Global Climate Action Summit, September 2019] You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words... People are suffering, people are dying, entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are at the beginning of a mass extinction and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of an endless economic growth. How dare you!

 

How dare she indeed?

It's not hard to uncover the truth about the little witch.

 

 

 

The Farce Wears On

Thunberg made headlines for sailing to New York on a yacht, a trip that was a little more harmful to the environment than she likes to let on. She came to New York to speak about climate change. Her speech was applauded by leftists, but it sounded more like a teenager just coming up with an excuse not to go to school.

“This is all wrong. I shouldn’t be up here. I should be back in school on the other side of the ocean. Yet you have come to us young people for hope. How dare you? You have stolen my dreams, my childhood with your empty words,” she said.

The 16-year-old, whose name is Greta Thunberg, suffers from Asperger Syndrome, a condition on the autism spectrum. One wouldn’t normally expect someone with Asperger’s to be chosen as the spokesperson for a global movement, given that sufferers from that condition are characteristically lacking in nonverbal communication, struggle with empathy, are typically very uncomfortable around large crowds, obsess pathologically about subjects not under their control, and often engage in long rants without consideration for how they will be received. Thunberg appears to be a more serious case, suffering from depression so severe she once went two months without eating and had to be pulled out of school.

The eco-fascists have now turned to terrorizing and mentally abusing their own children as a tactic for social influence. Greta Thunberg — the hysterical 16-year-old girl who has been rolled out by her Antifa-linked parents to lecture the world about the climate change hoax —  is apparently a prisoner of a torturous brainwashing / indoctrination scheme that has terrorized the poor girl into believing she will literally die if global warming isn’t stopped.

Thunberg has a myriad of mental health issues. She is autistic, has obsessive-compulsive disorder, and suffers from Asperger syndrome and the left is pushing her out onto the world stage and exploiting her.

It sure pays well:

Greta Thunberg, the 16-year-old Swedish girl the left has turned into their poster child for climate change fear-mongering, has been awarded one million kronor ($103,000) for her climate change activism.

"How dare you", indeed.
