Hawaii Yutes Give Ideas On Dealing With Climate Doom

By William Teach October 26, 2026 – 7:15 am

Sadly, the article doesn’t share what their ideas are, and I can’t find anywhere with them

Hawaii youth share climate solutions with lawmakers at summit

Keiki, teens and young adults gathered Saturday at the Capitol Rotunda for the Youth Climate Summit.

The summit was hosted by the Hawaii State Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation Commission and the Climate Future Forum to bring youth leaders to the capitol to engage with legislators and talk about their solutions for community issues.

Organizers hope events like these continue to spur on youth involvement in politics.

“You know, adults, we’ve been a part of the problem for so long and many adults are trying to be a part of the solution, but we also need the youth,” said Bill Unruh, Climate Outreach leader. “The youth want to be involved in their future, and that’s why, that’s what this is about.”

Participants also had the chance to share ideas to help bring youth perspectives into policy.

So, why not show the ideas? I have a few. Hawaii should get rid of their dozens of airports. And all the ports for cruise ships. And for all those fossil fueled cargo vessels bringing goods and food. And all the motors for boat for tourists and fishing. And ban all fossil fueled vehicles, including those for agriculture. Oh, and the roughly 61% to 75% use of petroleum for energy production. Let’s see how the kiddies like that.

Oh, Noes, Students Fear AI Is Coming For Their Jobs

By William Teach October 26, 2026 – 7:00 am

Perhaps they should get degrees, or learn tech jobs and trades, that AI can’t do, instead of all the stupid stuff they’re paying way to much for?

Students fear AI is about to ruin their future

After he graduated with a computer science degree in 2022, Robert Marsh “could get an interview basically anywhere”. Today, applying for jobs is a struggle.

“The complete and utter shape of everything is changing,” said Marsh, a 26-year-old software engineer based in Easton, Pennsylvania. “In almost every interview it’s kind of like: ‘Do we really need you?’”

Marsh is on the front lines of a new industrial revolution as AI washes over the labour market. Job opportunities for younger people in exposed industries are drying up, leaving many new graduates despondent and angry.

“My job prospects feel like they’re basically being taken away by a cabal of the world’s most wealthy and intelligent individuals,” said Marsh. “I just wanted to relax, have a nice career and maybe own a house. But there’s a conglomerate that’s seeing to it that I can’t have that.”

Well, I’m sure those involved with horses and carriages were upset over automobiles. Everything moves forward. Anyhow, maybe the whole “learn to code” meme has already lost it’s power

Among AI-exposed occupations such as coding and accountancy, employment is now 19 per cent lower than if it had kept pace with similarly aged workers in less-affected occupations, according to research from Stanford University. Experts say it is just the start.

“There’s something real going on,” said Erik Brynjolfsson, director of the Stanford Digital Economy Lab. “We call it canaries in the coal mine?.?.?.?We see this effect in a few areas initially and I would expect over time there is a good chance that it will spread.”

At one point there were just way too many lawyers. Now it’s too many with some sort of computer science degree.

Warnings over the economic fallout have also mounted. Anthropic chief executive Dario Amodei said last year that AI could wipe out half of entry-level white-collar jobs and push US unemployment to 10 to 20 per cent within one to five years.

“Cancer is cured, the economy grows at 10 per cent a year, the budget is balanced — and 20 per cent of people don’t have jobs,” Amodei told Axios, outlining one potential outcome. “We, as the producers of this technology, have a duty and an obligation to be honest about what is coming.”

Yeah, well, what if AI cures cancer? Baldness? Bad teeth? Diabetes? And more? Also, there are jobs in air conditioning, plumbing, and so much more! They could get jobs in installing and maintaining all those ordering machines at fast food and other places.

But 200 miles from Washington, in the university town of Bethlehem and the surrounding Lehigh Valley, where the FT is carrying out a multiyear reporting project, the revolution’s first casualties are emerging. Young people fear they are being treated as collateral damage.

“We don’t know where we’re needed anymore,” said Chloe Leong, an economics student at Lehigh University in Bethlehem. “It’s terrifying. If the entry-level jobs are getting cut?.?.?.?what base do we have to start at?”

Things change, kiddies. Gotta change with the times. Switchboard operators are gone. Most travel agents are gone. Typists? Gone. Video rental store workers? Are there any actually left? People who repair TVs? People who know how to do that are mostly gone. A lot of manufacturing jobs, like for cars, small and large appliances, cutlery, and so much more that used to be done mostly by humans have been replaces with machines. Go with the flow or get left behind.

…is an evil fossil fueled vehicles, you might just be a Warmist

The blog of the day is Blazing Cat Fur, with a post on “Alberta to Limit Flags Flown at Schools Under New Law to Keep Ideologies out of Classrooms”

It’s Halloween week, of course

And, just a quick mention: my Gamma 25 amp is dying, making funny noises both through the speaker and the headphones port, including lots of feedback that never happened before. Only had it around a year and a half. Ended up ordering the Blackstar Debut 30E. Thought about getting something like a Positive Grid Spark 2, which has all the modeling in it, can use an app, or something others, but, I have a Boss GT1 with all those sounds. The Blackstar is basic, just 30 Watts and a 10 inch speaker. Sounds pretty good so far.

It’s A Real Shame When Illegals Can’t Illegally Fish Without Getting All Sorts Of Busted

By William Teach October 25, 2026 – 7:00 am

This has created quite a bit of heartburn at the NY Times

They Were Accused of Illegal Fishing. They Ended Up in ICE Detention.

Standing along the edge of a canal near Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Edguin Morales Aguirre had just cast a line when officers with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission approached him and two of his friends. They spotted a bucket holding egg-bearing blue crabs, which are illegal to have in the state.

After running checks on their IDs, the officers summoned immigration agents to detain Mr. Morales and one of his friends, who were surprised to learn that the officers were working with federal immigration authorities.

“This never used to happen,” Mr. Morales said. “Before, if they caught you fishing in a place you weren’t supposed to, they would just issue you a citation.”

In Republican-led states, officers who hand out fishing licenses, inspect produce and investigate financial crimes have been deputized by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, using their contact with local residents on a day-to-day basis to broaden the reach of President Trump’s mass deportation campaign.

See, it looks like a regular article. First you get the “human interest”, but, then it goes right to the Fish Wrap caterwauling about non-federal law enforcement helping to enforce federal law. Do they cry when local, county, and state law enforcement calls Los Federales when they catch others who broke federal laws? Nope. Only when it is illegal aliens.

The increased cooperation among states that have embraced Mr. Trump’s immigration agenda is part of a federal program known as 287(g), which pays state and local agencies to assist with immigration enforcement. Once largely reserved for local police and sheriffs’ offices to increase ICE’s access to local jails, it has expanded under Mr. Trump to include unusual agencies like state agriculture departments, gaming commissions, fish and wildlife agencies, and alcohol control offices.

How horrible!

But these agencies have little experience carrying out immigration arrests, which can get contentious and even violent. Some incidents involving ICE officers have led to fatal shootings. Advocates have criticized the enlistment of the agencies, saying it increases the risk of officer misconduct and deepens fears in immigrant communities that people could be detained by seemingly innocuous authorities.

So illegals can get violent, requiring force to detain them? Hence why it is a lot safer to arrest them in places like courthouses.

Civil rights advocates have long denounced the 287(g) program, questioning the qualifications of state and local officers for conducting immigration enforcement. Although the federal government previously required several weeks of in-person training, the Trump administration scaled back to 40 hours of virtual training for deputized officers making immigration arrests in their communities.

So detaining illegals is more difficult that other people? Like they are super violent? Huh.

More than 29,300 state and local officers have been granted the authority to question people about their immigration status and make arrests, according to the Department of Homeland Security. That is nearly five times the number of deportation officers that ICE had before Mr. Trump’s return to office.

We need more! Anyhow, the whining continues on for quite some time from the Times, which just can’t stand illegals being arrested.

Your Fault: Chestnuts Having Issues In Portugal

By William Teach October 24, 2026 – 6:23 pm

All because you drove a fossil fueled vehicle instead of taking the bus

Climate change affecting chestnut production in Portugal

Speaking to the news agency Lusa, Manuel Gonçalves explained that while spring featured balanced temperatures and a stable temperature-to-humidity ratio, a heatwave brought the chestnut tree flowering period—which typically occurs in July—forward, disrupting pollination.

“The chestnut flowering was very rapid, accompanied by intense heat; it didn’t allow the bees to forage—the plants simply didn’t provide the opportunity for the bees to collect nectar,” he said, noting that the flowering was “so fast” that some trees “began to bloom in the morning, and by the end of the day, the blossoms were completely dried out.”

In contrast to last year, a “decent” year for this type of honey, this year has seen losses of 80% to 90%. Beekeepers are harvesting only “a quarter of a super”—about two kilograms per hive—whereas an ideal yield would be “10 to 12 kilograms per hive.” According to the association’s president, this affects approximately 200 beekeepers within the Montesinho Natural Park.

It’s horrible that weather happens during a Holocene warm period. I wonder how they did during the Little Ice Age?

Federal Appeals Court Says That Illegals Can Be Held Without Bond

By William Teach October 24, 2026 – 10:30 am

Too bad this only applies to a few states, but, hey, that also means that all illegals can be sent to just these states

Federal Court Says No ‘Get Out of Jail’ Card for Illegal Aliens

A federal appeals court ruled Friday that illegal immigrants detained inside the United States have no constitutional right to a bond hearing, no matter how long they have lived in the country.

A bond hearing allows detained migrants to ask an immigration judge for release on bond while their immigration cases proceed.

In a 10-7 decision, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans reversed a lower panel and sided with the Trump administration. The ruling closed the main legal route that judges in Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi had used to free detained migrants who challenged how long they were being held.

The ruling backs a policy, put in place last year, that lets the government hold immigrants arrested in the interior until their deportation cases end, without giving them a chance to argue for release before a judge. It is a sharp break from how previous administrations handled such cases, when migrants who were not flight risks or dangers could often post bond.

The cases were certainly shopped to the few federal judges who were wackjob moonbat leftists, and now that is over. But, hey, any of the detainees can easily get out if they say they want to leave the US, and Los Federales will pay for their flights. Easy!

Writing for the majority, Judge Cory Wilson, a Trump appointee, said the men challenging their detention were still legally seeking admission to the country and were not entitled to a hearing on due-process grounds. The judge wrote that they could end their confinement “at any moment by agreeing to leave the country.”

See? Go home. Go to another country. Heck, we can put you on a bus to Canada.

Uh Oh: Comrades In PRC Losing Faith In Doing Something About Climate Doom

By William Teach October 24, 2026 – 7:15 am

But, will they lose enough faith to vote out the wackos who force all these rules, regulations, laws, taxes, fees, etc?

Californians’ support for cutting carbon emissions wanes as new climate warnings arrive

Earlier this month, Gov. Gavin Newsom and former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger staged a low-key celebration marking the 20th anniversary of Assembly Bill 32, the landmark legislation committing California to immense reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.

It was the most notable achievement of Schwarzenegger’s governorship, not only setting a series of deadlines for emissions reductions, but creating as one of its major tools a system for industry buy-in known as “cap-and-trade.”

Environmental groups were opposed, favoring direct regulations, but Schwarzenegger insisted. Since then, the state has auctioned off a gradually diminishing number of emissions permits, thus, in theory, incentivizing industries to reduce greenhouse gases.

The Los Angeles Times has calculated that early goals were met. But in recent years reductions have slowed, and the 2030 goal of being 40% lower than 1990 emissions levels is highly unlikely.

Yeah, well, it’s easy to say, a lot harder to do

Public Policy Institute of California pollsters found that while Californians still support emissions reductions in concept, views on specific programs have slipped. That’s particularly true of Newsom’s desire to ban the sale of new gasoline-powered vehicles by 2035. Support for that has dropped from 49% in 2021 to just 32%.

I bet if you asked the questions “do you support everyone else having to buy an EV” and “are you against being forced to buy an EV for yourself” the answers would be interesting.

“Affordability has become a dominant theme in public discourse today — and it’s affecting the public’s views on the environment,” the PPIC says. “Most Californians choose cost of living as the top issue facing the people of California today; few name environmental concerns.”

Really, this is the reality all the time, even in the People’s Republik Of California: ‘climate change’ always comes near the end if not last when put up against real issues. And this is why so many Californians get the hell out of the state. Unfortunately, they bring the same stupid policies elsewhere.

The flip side of declining popular and political support for emissions reduction policies is a new warning from Newsom’s administration that California faces a slow-motion apocalypse.

“Climate change is increasing the frequency, intensity, duration, and impacts of climate related events in California, including short- or long-term hazard events like wildfire, extreme heat, drought, flooding, and sea level rise,” the administration’s 109-page Fifth Climate Change Assessment declares.

The Elites, who rarely practice what they preach, are upset by the waning interest and will try and scare the peasants, and, if that doesn’t work, will just force it all on them. Because the peasants are too culty to vote different.

Plurality Of Americans Do Not Want Commie Socialist Agenda In Their Cities

By William Teach October 24, 2026 – 7:00 am

Yet, the idiots in big cities keep voting for it

Poll: Majority of Americans don’t want to see communities adopt socialist agenda

A plurality of Americans don’t want to see their community move in the direction of the Democratic Socialist agenda, according to a new poll from The Center Square.

Forty-four percent of American voters surveyed in The Center Square’s Voters’ Voice Poll say they would prefer to live in a city or community where Democratic Socialists have not gained influence.

In contrast, 33% say they would like to see their city or community move more in the direction of places where Democratic Socialist candidates have gained influence, while 23% are unsure.

The latest poll comes as voters head to the polls in less than two weeks, where several Democratic Socialists and their agenda are on ballots across the country, with a majority concerned socialist candidates could gain ground.

The Center Square Voters’ Voice poll also found that 55% of American voters are concerned about Democratic Socialist candidates running for and winning elected office in the U.S., while 37% aren’t concerned.

Who are the idiots who are unsure? They need to pay more attention. And those who are in favor always seem surprised when they get what they voted for

Earlier in the month, Fetterman cited a CBS News poll that found nearly 60% of Democrats have a positive view of socialism.

“The Democratic Party is becoming the party of socialism. 58% view socialism positively. 50% view capitalism negatively. I’m a proud free market capitalist. This is lunacy,” the senator wrote on social media.

Fetterman isn’t the only Democrat calling out the party’s growing socialist arm; veteran Democratic strategist James Carville has called on the Democratic Socialists of America to drop the word “Democratic” from their name to distance the party from leftist policies.

They all think it will be some sort of utopia, but, they’re all sheeple.
