NY Times Pimps Mating With Short People To Stop Climate Doom

It’s always something with these cultists

Mating with ‘shorter people’ is a ‘step toward a greener planet’ since smaller individuals are ‘inherent conservationists,’ New York Times op-ed claims

A New York Times guest opinion column published on Sunday claimed that mating with “shorter people” is a “step toward a greener planet” since smaller individuals are “inherent conservationists.”

The essay by writer Mara Altman, titled “There Has Never Been a Better Time to Be Short,” argued that people of shorter stature live longer and are “better” for the planet because they use fewer resources.

“The short are also inherent conservationists, which is more crucial than ever in this world of eight billion,” the article stated.

Altman’s essay referenced a study by Thomas Samaras, “the Godfather of Shrink Think,” which found that if Americans were 10% shorter, it would “save 87 million tons of food per year (not to mention trillions of gallons of water, quadrillions of B.T.U.s of energy and millions of tons of trash).”

“Short people don’t just save resources, but as resources become scarcer because of the earth’s growing population and global warming, they may also be best suited for long-term survival (and not just because more of us will be able to jam into spaceships when we are forced off this planet we wrecked),” the essay continued.

According to the piece, single people should prioritize finding shorter partners.

Watching climate cultists is like watching Today’s Hit Artists!!!, ones like Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, Madonna, etc, who continuously had to do wilder and wilder things to top what they did to keep in the public eye, rather than putting out good music. Warmists just have to keep pushing the insane, rather than think in Science.

Farmers Are Not Happy With Biden’s Waters Of USA Overreach

Here’s the extreme environuts in the Biden admin continuing the work of the extreme environuts of the Obama admin, not caring how much this will cause problems for regular Americans

Farmers slam Biden over latest eco regulation targeting businesses: ‘Federal overreach’

Organizations representing American farmers slammed a recent Biden administration regulation repeals a Trump-era action regarding how natural water sources in the U.S. are protected.

The groups argued that the rule would increase uncertainty and pose regulatory roadblocks for farmers. On Friday, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized the rule change, redefining which “waters of the United States” are federally protected under the Clean Water Act.

EPA Administrator Michael Regan said the regulation change “safeguards our nation’s waters, strengthens economic opportunity, and protects people’s health.” But critics of the move said it would lead to increased federal scrutiny of how farmers and other landowners treat water sources on their property such as ravines and creeks, creating additional costs.

This has been contentious since they tried to do this under the Obama admin, as it would make every pond, creek, stream, even temporary ones, a federal regulatory one. And it’s been working its way through the courts ever since, being a vast, massive federal over-reach

“AFBF is extremely disappointed in the EPA and Army Corps of Engineers’ new Waters of the United States Rule,” said Zippy Duvall, the president of the American Farm Bureau Federation. “Farmers and ranchers share the goal of protecting the nation’s waterways, but they deserve rules that don’t require a team of attorneys and consultants to identify ‘navigable waters’ on their land.”

And it will make it harder for farmers to do their jobs and increase the cost of food.

“The EPA’s latest rule on defining ‘waters of the United States’ is a statement of federal overreach that ignores states’ authority to regulate intrastate water quality and the Clean Water Act’s statutory mandate for cooperative federalism,” Ted McKinney, the president of the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture, said in a statement.

“In turn, although we recognize EPA’s attempt at clarifying through a roster of exemptions, its rule ignores the voices of nearly all in American agriculture who have long been seeking clarity on this issue, especially regarding the debate over what is and is not a navigable water.”

The feds want control of everything, and this rule was put out ahead of a Supreme Court decision on this, so, we’ll have to see what happens.

Other Climate Nutter Groups Plan To Continue Being Disruptive

How to win friends and influence people by being a-holes

Climate change group disavows disruptive protests, but other activists vow to soldier on

Extinction Rebellion, the U.K.-based organization that pioneered disruptive climate change protests such as sit-ins at major London traffic circles, has made a New Year’s resolution to give up such tactics and focus instead on increasing support for the climate movement.

In a Dec. 31, 2022, statement on its website, the group acknowledged that despite garnering media attention for high-profile protests — including blockading five bridges on the River Thames in central London in November 2018 — its efforts have not led to a significant change in the trajectory of planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions.

Yeah yeah yeah, they’re going to supposedly stop doing wankers stuff. We’ll see. Others, though

In the last year, several new youth-led groups around the world have employed tactics pioneered by XR, especially in Britain and Europe. For example, the group Just Stop Oil, which was founded in February 2022, blocked traffic on highways in London and garnered international coverage and criticism for throwing tomato soup at a painting by Vincent Van Gogh in London’s National Gallery. In late October, activists from a group called Last Generation threw mashed potatoes at a painting by Claude Monet and glued themselves to the adjacent wall at the Museum Barberini in Potsdam, Germany, and carried out similar actions in other European museums.

Just Stop Oil responded to XR’s announcement on Monday with a pledge to continue engaging in what it called “civil resistance.”

“It’s 2023 and XR has quit,” Just Stop Oil wrote in a statement. “But it’s 2023, and we are barrelling down the highway to the loss of ordered civil society, as extreme weather impacts tens of millions, as our country becomes unrecognisable. … We must move from disobedience into civil resistance.”

You also have Insulate Britain, which is going to continue doing wackadoodle things. They’re working hard to piss people off to get them to rally to their cause, because that works, right?

Sanctuary State Of Colorado Plans To Send Illegal Aliens To NYC

And Eric Adams, mayor of the sanctuary city of New York, doesn’t like it one bit.

Colorado plans to send more migrants to New York

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis plans to send migrants to major cities including New York, Mayor Eric Adams said Tuesday, warning that the nation’s largest city is already struggling to deal an influx of people sent from Texas and other Republican-led states.

However, the Democratic governor told POLITICO shortly afterward that the state has been helping asylum seekers reach their final destinations — including New York City — for weeks. The only change has been a recent winter storm and ensuing travel catastrophe that created a backlog of migrants wanting to leave Denver, which is now being cleared.

Adams made his comments during a radio appearance Tuesday morning.

“We were notified yesterday that the governor of Colorado is now stating that they are going to be sending migrants to places like New York and Chicago,” Adams said during a radio appearance. “This is just unfair for local governments to have to take on this national obligation.”

Oh, that’s convenient. “Helping them reach their final destinations”. Will any in the media ask the illegals if they voluntarily got on the buses? Or were tricked?

Oh, no, this is selfless when Democrats do it

“Too many people, in our opinion, view this through a political lens or as playing politics — and it’s terrible that in some places, people have been used as political props,” he said. “But what we are doing here is just honoring our values by treating people with dignity and respect.”

Except, Polis is shipping lots of them off to Other Places. It’s almost like he doesn’t want to deal with them.

Adams said Tuesday around 30,000 asylum seekers have arrived in New York City since the spring in need of food, shelter and education — a surge that has has stretched the city’s social service infrastructure to the breaking point and opened up huge risks for the municipal budget. Adams, along with the two Colorado leaders, have called on the federal government to provide assistance to localities dealing with the influx.

“No city should have to make a decisions if they’re going to provide for their citizens — particularly coming out of Covid — or if they’re going to deal with an onslaught of migrants and asylum seekers,” he said.

No, they shouldn’t, and the way to do that is to shut down the border as much as possibly and ship all the illegals out.

John Kerry Says People In Rich Countries Need TO Give Their Money To Appease 3rd World Anger

How much of his own money will Kerry be giving? How many private fossil fueled flights will he not take?

John Kerry: rich countries must respond to developing world anger over climate

John Kerry climatePeople in developing countries are feeling increasingly angry and “victimised” by the climate crisis, the US climate envoy John Kerry has warned, and rich countries must respond urgently.

“I’ve been chronicling the increased frustration and anger of island states and vulnerable countries and small African nations and others around the world that feel victimised by the fact that they are a minuscule component of emissions,” he said. “And yet [they are] paying a very high price. Seventeen of the 20 most affected countries in the world, by the climate crisis, are in Africa, and yet 48 sub-Saharan countries total 0.55% of all emissions.”

Would these be the small countries building airports to attract tourism? Or the ones taking the foreign aid and using it for the elites and political bigwigs in those nations?

Kerry said the US was committed to helping the developing world with loss and damage, but that the details of the fund would need more work in 2023.

“How can you look somebody in the eye, with a straight face, and not accept the notion that there are damages, there are losses?” he asked. “We see them all around the world. You see them in heightened sea levels, we see them in fires, we see them in floods, in Pakistan and elsewhere. We see them in the higher intensity of storms.”

But he added: “How you manage [loss and damage] is still at issue: how do you approach this challenge of the financial arrangements. But it was important to acknowledge that they’re there and we have to work at this in good faith.”

It’s just another redistribution scam, one which takes money from the middle and working classes in 1st world nations and transfers it to elites in 3rd world nations, but, this time, with no strings, because we “owe” it to those nations.

TSA Spending Millions For Screening Gender-Neutral Passengers

It’s wonderful that the government has to spend money because many people are gender confused

TSA spends $18.6 million on security screening for gender-neutral passengers

The Transportation Security Administration is spending $18.6 million to deploy “non-binary screening systems” for gender-neutral passengers traveling through U.S. airports.

The federal spending watchdog group OpenTheBooks.com reported on the new security screening that will be rolled out starting this month.

TSA is spending tens of millions of U.S. taxpayer funds to “advance civil rights” of these passengers, indicating it will improve the customer experience of nonbinary passengers by implementing the new technology.

The funding for the non-gender imaging technology will be appropriated from funds inside the omnibus spending legislation that President Joe Biden just signed.

“This technology should really be gender neutral, you know, it really should be and we’re there,” TSA Executive Director for Travel Engagement Jose Bonilla told WCAX.com in Vermont.

“The way that we’ve operated the system is specifically based on [the] blue button if the individual is perceived by the officer to be male, pink button if the individual is perceived by our officer to be female,” Bonilla said, adding that transgender or nonbinary passengers are more likely to get flagged.

Well, in the grand scheme of Science, an individual is either biologically male or biologically female. That’s the way it works.

The TSA has implemented several policies to assist transgender and binary passengers. The agency previously updated its operating procedures to reduce the number of pat-downs by allowing security to permit less invasive screening procedures for passengers who triggered the Advanced Imaging Technology scanner in “sensitive” areas.

Are other nations dealing with this kind of stupidity, or is it mostly the U.S.? Meanwhile, how safe is it to be flying with all these people who have a higher of mental illness and suicidal thoughts?

Climate Apocalypse Migrants Need Legal Rights Or Something

They do. They have the legal right to apply for citizenship and go through the process just like everyone else if approved. The U.S. has plenty of homeless on our streets. Why not spend the money on them, instead of on people demanding entrance into the U.S. who refuse to assimilate

Climate Migrants Need Legal Rights

Over the past year, we’ve all seen the devastating images across America—and around the world—of people who have lost their homes, their livelihoods, to wildfires, hurricanes, or monsoon floods.

While many of them can rebuild, others aren’t, and are forced to pick-up, and leave.

They are the faces and stories of climate migration. An estimated 1.2 billion people will be displaced by climate-related events by 2050. That means that in less than 30 years, more than 1 out of every 8 people will have lost their homes.

Take a minute, and let that sink in.

You mean like always? That the ever changing climate of the Earth has caused movement.

The world is moving quickly, and with it, people are moving too. While mobility may be increasing worldwide, the sad truth is that the majority of migrants today find themselves fleeing because they have to, whether it’s due to violence, persecution, famine, poverty, or increasingly, climate catastrophes. When we say climate catastrophes, we don’t just mean sporadic natural disasters. Climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of storms, flooding, and droughts, as well as causing slower onset disasters like desertification and rising sea levels.

Blah blah blah.

In part, this is because climate change often exacerbates other push factors like poverty and might not be identified as the sole reason for displacement. There are also almost no multilateral treaties or domestic laws addressing climate displacement, meaning that people forced to leave their homes for climate-related reasons have limited legal options to obtain safe refuge elsewhere.

There are, however, concrete steps we can take to address this issue—advocates have called for a new policy architecture for climate migration that would provide those displaced by climate events with legal pathways to resettle somewhere safe.

Um, no. Just no. They’re just using ‘climate change’ as an excuse for more illegal immigration.

The Joseph Family Foundation has, since its inception, been rooted in authenticity, compassion, optimism, and morality; part and parcel of the hands-on aid that we bring to vulnerable communities across the country, and the world. As part of our mission to bring about positive change, we are seeking to raise awareness about forced migration due to climate change. By supporting the International Refugee Assistance Project (IRAP)’s Climate Displacement Program, we hope to lend momentum to IRAP’s efforts to create a legal framework for climate-displaced families around the world.

I wonder if the Joseph Family, and the two writers who are the president and director of the foundation, are willing to take the “refugees” into their own homes and land?

Good News: Half Of States Have Permitless Carry

I’m assuming these gun grabbers are referring to concealed carry permits, since “permitless carry” sounds oh so much worse for gun haters

The start of 2023 means carrying a gun without a license is now legal in half of US states: ‘Lipstick, an iPhone, maybe a little Smith & Wesson .38’

With the start of the new year, it became significantly easier for Alabamians to legally carry guns.

The state passed a law last year allowing people to carry concealed handguns without state permits, a change that went into effect on January 1.

The law signaled a gun rights landmark for the US: Now, half of the 50 states allow people to carry handguns without permits.

It’s a mark of how gun control rights have expanded within the US over the past two decades. In 2010, for instance, only two states allowed people to carry guns without permits. In the 13 years since, however, almost 24 states have passed similar laws, 11 of which were greenlit in the last three years, The Huffington Post’s Roque Planas reported Sunday.

Hooray! Though, I’ll be honest, I do approve of requiring that anyone carrying concealed should need to pass a course to understand the laws, proper use of a firearm, etc. Not a really hard one, just one designed to express confidence.

State governments have loosened gun control over the past 20 years, even as activism in the wake of the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, the 2018 Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, and others ramped up. More than 600 mass shootings transpired in the US in 2022, making it the second-highest annual total for mass shootings on record, according to data compiled by the Gun Violence Archive, a non-profit tracking gun violence.

How many of those were committed by people with a concealed carry permit, or even just a legal license to carry? How many of them were legal purchases by people who should have been denied their background check?
