Your Fault: Rotting Seaweed, Shark Attacks, Rip Currents, And Dead Fish Edition

Rotting seaweed, dead fish, no sand: Climate change threatens to ruin US beaches

As Americans flock to the beach this summer, they’re often greeted with disconcerting news: Their destination might be smelly with dead fish or rotting seaweed — and danger often lurks from rip currents or even shark attacks.

In a warming world, those problems are set to get worse, experts say.

“The climate is changing and it’s changing drastically,” said Todd Crowl, director of the Institute of Environment at Florida International University in Miami. “It is measurable and happening.”

No single ruined beach day should be directly attributed to a warming globe. But the rise in both atmospheric and ocean temperatures is rapidly altering the stretches of coastline where land and water meet.

So, were the shark attacks in New Jersey in 1916, which were the inspiration for the book Jaws, and subsequent movie, caused by ‘climate change’? Are they saying there have never been dead fish, rotting seaweed, and rip currents before CO2 went above 350PPM? Is there any scientific proof that this is different than what happened during the previous Holocene warm, and cool, periods? It doesn’t matter, because this isn’t about science, it’s about politics from a cult.

This year could be a portent of even more extreme, seashore-ruining, events. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced Wednesday that global ocean temperatures hit a record high in May, the second consecutive month where ocean temperatures broke a record, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said.

Portents! It’s a cult.

Dementia Joe Drops “God Save The Queen, Man” In Speech

By William Teach June 17, 2023 – 10:30 am

It really gets sad, at times, to see Brandon losing his marbles and realize his people, and wife, put him up to this

Biden’s remark, ‘God save the Queen, man’, during Connecticut speech, causes confusion

President Joe Biden caused some confusion at the end of the speech he gave Friday at the National Safer Communities Summit in Connecticut.

Biden spoke to gun safety advocates and survivors of gun violence for about 30 minutes Friday afternoon at the University of Hartford and ended his speech with the phrase “Alright? God save the Queen, man.”

“God Save The Queen” began trending on Twitter soon after with many addressing their own confusion and criticizing the gaffe.

Many were questioning whether Biden referenced Queen Elizabeth II, Britain’s longest-serving monarch, who died in September. Biden attended the queen’s funeral on Sept. 19.

Why would he, though? He was yammering about gun grabbing, while surrounded by people with guns, including ones that the average America cannot own, and was yammering about all sorts of things

“If any one of you drove up to the parking lot here today, got out of your car, left a key in your car and a kid comes along — 13-14 years old — gets in your car, takes it on a joyride and kills someone — guess what? You’re liable,” Biden said.

“Why should that not be the case if you don’t lock your weapon?”

Except, in most cases in all 50 states you wouldn’t be liable (people should still lock their guns up when leaving in cars)

Biden’s monarchical sign-off followed a series of attempts at humor, including referring to his age as “a little under 103” and “110.”

As he neared the end of his speech, the president asked the crowd if the weather forecast called for rain — and said he could stay for photos if not.

“They tell me there’s a storm coming in. Is that right? Is that still the deal?” Biden asked, as the crowd shouted in reply, “no.”

“That’s the truth, now? Don’t make a lie — there’s that scene in the John Wayne movie, ‘Don’t make me a dog-face lying pony soldier.’”

Huh what? Was any of this in the written speech?

Later Friday, deputy White House press secretary Olivia Dalton told reporters that Biden “was commenting to someone in the crowd,” without further clarification.

They’re not even trying to really clean Biden’s dementia up at this point, since most in the Credentialed Media won’t question his obvious mental problems.

Do We Need A Doomsday Event To Get People To Take Real Climate (scam) Action?

By William Teach June 17, 2023 – 7:00 am

Doom doom doom all the time

Doomsday 9-11? Will only a true catastrophe ignite real climate change action?

Did you hear about the wildfire smoke in New York City? Of course you did. We all did. That’s because New York City is a global media center, an important economic hub for the world, and one of the largest cities on the planet. And the news was stark, startling, amazing: (doomy stuff on the wildfires, which really have nothing to do with ‘climate change’ in the real world)

We are seeing a direct result of climate change and it is directly affecting millions of people in the United States. In the worst-case scenario, people in NYC will find there are days and possibly weeks throughout the summer when they are not be able to go outside without masks and eye protection. They will likely need to buy indoor filtration systems since the smoke leaks into homes, apartments, and offices. Tourism could plummet.

Here is the strange thing. All of this smoke in America’s most important city is not enough to spur any real action on climate change. We do not see a million New Yorkers out protesting in the streets. We do not see any real action from politicians. Even though the smoke makes the city untenable if it continues, no one is proposing that we do anything significant about it.

Compare this reaction to the reaction after the attacks on September 11, 2001. Two airplanes stuck two buildings in New York City and the entire nation was up in arms about it. Think of everything that came in the wake of 9/11 – All kinds of changes and safety measures were put into place, with their own significant costs in terms of time and money.

My first inclination is to write “fuck off” when comparing the climate scam, a minor 1.5F increase in global temperature since 1850, to September 11th. My second is to tell the author to go fuck himself. And WRAL for publishing this crap.

It seems that the only thing that will cause humanity to take significant action, the only thing that will cause us to change, is a true and large-scale catastrophe. We need an event that is large enough, dramatic enough, compelling enough, to cause a true reaction.

September 11, 2001 was such an event. September 11, 2001 was an event with enough magnitude that real change happened. The entire United States came to a halt, then took real action, and the entire world noticed.

Go fuck yourself. Seriously, Marshall Brain should really shove something where the sun doesn’t shine. He then goes on to list a bunch of massive catastrophes in a way that seems as if he’s hoping for them.

Want to know what real climate (scam) action would be? If all the climate cultists went and practiced what they preach. No more fossil fuels. Make their lives carbon neutral. I’m pretty sure WRAL was flying a fossil fueled helicopter over near my area yesterday, where there was a big fire at an old folks home, a massive wreck on Capital Blvd, and a shooting over that way.

Also, anyone comparing the scam to 9.11 can go fuck themselves.

LGBTQwhatever Advocates Are Worried About Being Targeted By EARN IT Act

By William Teach June 17, 2023 – 6:45 am

Why are they concerned about a bill that targets those engaging in child sexual abuse?

The EARN IT Act poses risks to LGBTQ communities online, advocates say. Here’s how

A bill meant to target child sexual abuse material online could pose far-reaching risks for members of the LGBTQ+ community, LGBTQ+ advocates and legal experts told USA TODAY.

The EARN IT Act, first introduced in 2020, would make it easier to prosecute social media companies for child sexual abuse material, or CSAM, on their platforms, the goal being to motivate platforms to target that material more forcefully. It was reintroduced in April by Sens. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who said at the time that tech companies need to “take responsibility” for the material or “be held accountable.”

But the bill, while well-intentioned, could have dangerous ramifications for freedom of expression, leaving LGBTQ online communities as collateral damage.

How? Is it now considered “freedom of expression” to engage in child sexual abuse? To post child pornography?

“This bill is intended to fight child sexual abuse online, and I don’t think that’s a goal that anyone wants to hamper,” said Jenna Leventoff, senior policy counsel at the American Civil Liberties Union. “But this bill wouldn’t actually do that. What it does do is lead to more internet censorship.”

Censorship of child sexual abuse is a bad thing?

Faced with heightened risk of prosecution for CSAM, platforms will likely move to take more aggressive measures to block content that could fall within one state’s parameters for CSAM, said Emma Llansó, director of the Free Expression Project at Center for Democracy and Technology.

Legally protected LGBTQ+ content could be swept into those filtering efforts, targeted due to “long-running societal biases and misconceptions” that being queer is “inherently more sexual” than being straight, she said.

“It comes down to deciding that filtering out words like lesbian and gay are important to do because that helps block sexual content,” Llansó said. “It may help block some searches for some kinds of pornography, but it’s also going to block a lot of people just talking about themselves, their communities and living their everyday lives.”

Nice attempt, but, come on, the activists and wackos are just admitting that these kinds of laws will cause an issue with their grooming of children. Realistically, most who are part of the rainbow are just normal, nice, good people, who make zero deal out of their sexual preferences, just like most straight people don’t make a deal. They’re who they are, and they move on with their lives. But, there are plenty of the crazies and groomers, and they do not like laws that interfere with their grooming. Seriously, if you’re worried about being targeted because this cracks down on child porn, perhaps you shouldn’t be posting child porn.

Meanwhile

Texas bans transgender women, girls from collegiate athletics

In other words, it bans biological men from participating in biological women’s sports. And North Carolina is about to take their final vote on something similar. And, someone, this pisses off the same people who were all about empowering women and saying “believe all women” just a few years ago, who’d rather throw women under the bus to kowtow to the gender confused.

UN To Expose Those Who Take Fossil Fueled Private Jets To Climate Meeting In Dubai

By William Teach June 16, 2023 – 3:00 pm

Nope, wait, nope, they want to go after lobbyists

Climate change: UN to unmask fossil fuel lobbyists at climate talks

climate cowOil, gas and coal representatives will have to disclose their industry ties at future climate meetings, the UN says.

For years, fossil fuel employees have been able to attend without having to be clear about their relationship with their companies.

Last year, over 600 industry participants were able to enter the COP27 meeting in Egypt.

Campaigners say the UN ruling is the first step to limiting the influence of polluters.

The new rules will be in place for the COP28 summit in November in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, one of the world’s top oil producers. UAE oil company chief Sultan Al Jaber will preside over the summit, an appointment that has irked environmentalists.

Every year, political leaders from around the world attend the Conference of the Parties or COP meeting, where key decisions are made on how the world tackles climate change.

Forty percent of the UAE’s economy is based on the export of oil and natural gas. Great place to hold a UN climate meeting.

How many of those political leaders will be arriving on fossil fueled private flights? How about all the other big wigs?

As well as politicians and diplomats, the events are attended by environmental campaigners who see ending the global reliance on fossil fuels as the key goal for the COP process.

How many of them, and celebrities, will arrive via fossil fueled private flights? Or, heck, even just fossil fueled public flights?

UN chief slams ‘pitiful’ world response to climate change

Climate policies currently adopted will lead to average temperatures 2.8 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial times by the end of the century, nearly twice the UN goal of a 1.5 degree rise, Guterres said.

“That spells catastrophe. Yet the collective response remains pitiful,” Guterres told a press conference.

“We are hurtling towards disaster, eyes wide open — with far too many willing to bet it all on wishful thinking, unproven technologies and silver bullet solutions. It’s time to wake up and step up,” said the UN chief.

He said the fossil fuel industry must undertake not just a transition but full-blown transformation as it moves toward clean energy “and away from a product incompatible with human survival.”

It’d be funny if the fossil fuels industry refused to sell fuels to UN employees, especially top dogs like Guterres, and for jets flying to climate conferences.

Oh My: 64% Would Be Good With Recession If It Lowers Mortgage Rates

By William Teach June 16, 2023 – 10:30 am

Based on current economic conditions, I’m not sure if it would make a difference

Exclusive: 64% of Americans would welcome a recession if it meant lower mortgage rates

Buying a home has become so unaffordable that most prospective homebuyers wouldn’t mind a recession if it meant lower mortgage rates, according to a new survey.

Sixty four percent of Americans say they are “ready for a recession” if they are better able to afford buying a home, according to a study conducted by Harris Poll on behalf of Credit Karma, designed exclusively for USA TODAY.

As homebuyers grapple with near 7% mortgage rates and home prices continue to hold firm due to a lack of inventory, the picture is looking grim for those looking to buy a home.

Not surprisingly, 82% of those surveyed believe the country is facing an unprecedented housing affordability crisis. Perhaps that’s why more than 3 in 5 Americans who have never purchased a home (61%) don’t think they’ll ever be able to afford to do so.

“There is no denying how difficult it’s become to purchase a home in America today, especially for first-time buyers,” said Aniva Hinduja, general manager of home and mortgage at Credit Karma. “When a majority of potential home buyers are wishing for a recession so they can afford a mortgage, you know the situation is dire.”

In the 1970s and 80s, the average rate was in the mid-7’s. The 90’s saw 10%, ending around 8%. 2000’s were 8%, ending in the mid 5’s. 2010 started at 5.14%, ended at 3.72%. In Joe Biden’s years, it’s now in the 7’s. Rates were pretty low from the 30’s to early 60’s, when they started cracking the 4’s. Of course, the points made them higher back then.

The problem now, though, is that inventory is super low, thanks to the Wuhan Flu shutting down most things associated with building homes, including building homes. And taken altogether, it spiked home prices. I know mine is now worth over 2.5 times what I bought it for in 2009.

Would a recession really help? Would it really bring down interest rates? The US was technically in recession during the Biden regime years. A minor one, but, still a recession. And the fed kept raising interest rates. Typically, rates are lowered in recession, but, that would also mean fewer homes being built because people are out of work. But, depending on the severity of the recession, some homes would become available due to people not being able to pay their mortgage. It just goes to show that people are so narcissistic these days that they want this to happen.

Fortunately, Joe’s out there trying to force people into EVs and public transit, taking away their lawful firearms, and pushing trans surgeries for children. He’s on the case!

Climate Wackos Drop Trou At Mass Statehouse

By William Teach June 16, 2023 – 7:00 am

Is this actually convincing people to Do Something about Hotcoldwetdry? Will any reporter ever ask the climate nuts if they’ve stopped using fossil fuels and made their lives carbon neutral?

No ifs, ands, or butts: Protesters drop pants to protest climate change at Massachusetts Statehouse

Climate change protesters dropped their pants at the Massachusetts Statehouse during a debate on a proposed tax relief package Thursday to bring attention to what they say is the need for swifter action against the use of fossil fuels.

About 1 p.m., protesters stood, turned their backs to the Senate chamber and lowered their pants to reveal letters that spelled out STOP PASSING GAS! on their bare backsides.

The protesters were all wearing pink thongs.

The eight protesters were chanting and disrupting the Senate session, according to state police investigators. Just before 2 p.m., the protesters were told that the public gallery was closed.

After being warned that they were subject to arrest, the protesters refused to leave and were placed under arrest and escorted out of the chamber, investigators said. They were charged with trespassing on state property, disorderly conduct and indecent exposure.

Sounds rather like insurrection.

The group Extinction Rebellion has staged other protests at the Statehouse. They say they plan to continue their efforts until lawmakers approve legislation banning new fossil fuel infrastructure.

Ask the protesters how they traveled to the statehouse. Ask them if they own fossil fueled vehicles.

More protesting wackos below the fold, ruining a Monet

Crenshaw Obliterates Trans Supporting Professor Over Lack Of Studies

By William Teach June 16, 2023 – 6:45 am

Well, Dan Crenshaw has mostly been pretty useless the past few years, seemingly captured by the system, going rather GOPe, but, he’s on the money on this one. You can bet If the roles were reversed, and the professor took him down, it would be all over the news

Crenshaw grills Dem witness over failure to name one study citing benefits of surgeries for trans kids

Texas Republican Rep. Dan Crenshaw tore into a Democrat witness Wednesday over her inability to cite a medical study that states the benefits of transgender surgeries for minors.

Crenshaw’s comments came during a House Committee on Energy and Commerce hearing when he questioned Yale School of Medicine assistant professor Meredithe McNamara about his proposal to withdraw funding from certain hospitals that provide surgeries, puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones to transgender minors.

“You’ve said that we cherry-picked data. How do you mean that?” Crenshaw asked McNamara.

“So, it is very unscientific and flawed to pick a single study or a single statistic and discuss it in isolation,” she responded. “Medical experts are able to talk about all of the evidence as a whole.”

Crenshaw went on to cite multiple studies that show, essentially, that no one really, truly knows what the effects of puberty blockers, other trans drugs, etc, in the short and long terms.

“Which journal says something different? We should have that debate. Tell me a journal that has done systematic reviews that cites different evidence, that cites strong evidence of benefits for these therapies,” he said.

McNamara responded, “The standards of care were developed based on extensive—”

“You’re not telling me any study, don’t say ‘standards of care,'” Crenshaw interjected. “Tell me one.”

“So, um, the standards of care,” McNamara said.

“The standards of care,” Crenshaw questioned. “That’s not a journal, that’s not a study. That’s not an organization. That’s not an institution. You’re just saying words. Name one study.”

She couldn’t. Surprise. It’s wild how Democrats bring witnesses up who do not really seem to know anything. The hearing was about the Children’s Hospital GME Support Reauthorization Act. The act needs to be reauthorized every 5 years, and Crenshaw is looking to block any hospital that gives trans crazy “gender affirming care” to kids from receiving money to help train pediatricians.
