Most movies about climate change are disaster flicks, but the real-life plight of cemeteries affected by climate change is pure horror. Floods and other extreme weather phenomena present unprecedented challenges to cemeteries, reports Scientific American.
Millions of people are dead.
It's a climate change crisis!
Don't know about you, but I don't care what happens to my corpse....

The U.N. "climate summit" next month has been moved from Chile to Spain, and little Greta's flummoxed. She's asking for the public to help her make the 6,000-mile trip from Los Angeles to Spain (of course, by "eco-friendly" transport only).
“As #COP25 has officially been moved from Santiago to Madrid I’ll need some help,” Ms Thunberg tweeted from Los Angeles.
“It turns out I’ve travelled half around the world, the wrong way.”
“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 refuses to fly because of the carbon emissions involved. I'd suggest water-wings and swim flippers, but they're made with petroleum products, so that's out. Maybe she could take one of these:

In promotional materials and patents, Joi Scientific has claimed to have found an efficient way to generate hydrogen from seawater, something that would be a major scientific breakthrough. (Joi Scientific)
Presumably, they've also found a way to turn lead into gold.
A Florida-based hydrogen company that received millions of public dollars from New Brunswickers has told shareholders that its technology doesn't work as previously described, CBC News has learned. NB Power paid Joi Scientific $13 million Cdn to license a technology that claims to be able to efficiently generate hydrogen gas from seawater to generate electricity on demand, something that would be a major scientific breakthrough.
One of the company's patents claims it can generate hydrogen at 200 per cent efficiency. For one watt of input energy, the patent says two watts of energy in the form of hydrogen gas are produced.
Evidently, the geniuses running that Canadian power company are unaware of Florida's long-standing history of scams. 200% efficiency? Really? Somebody must have flunked high-school physics.
Hydrogen is magic, all right....

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

(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:
