The Most Important Weapon Against Climate Crisis (scam) Is Gender Equality Or Something

By William Teach June 25, 2021 – 7:08 am

Aren’t we getting gender equality with all these men stating they’re women taking women’s positions in sports and other things? Isn’t it equality that men with mental illness are in female locker rooms, changing rooms, and showers at schools?

Gender equality is important weapon against climate change

Climate change can be devastating for everyone, but it affects women and men differently, according to a new report by the European Investment Bank (EIB).

The report noted that projecys and investments that aim to counter climate change are less effective when they are implemented without women’s meaningful participation.

The EIB’s roadmap for €1trn of climate and environmental investment over the next decade highlights the effectiveness of well‐targeted investment in assisting the “green transition”, and contributing to social development and gender equality.

“Gender-responsive climate actions can strengthen climate and environmental outcomes and often make a solid business case for investment,” the bank’s gender specialist, Moa Westman, noted in the new report, titled Global Solutions, International Partnerships: the European Investment Bank Development Report 2021.

Why is this sounding more like Modern Socialist doctrine, forcing compliance throughout nations rather than about trying to keep the temperature down?

She added, “Investments that take women’s needs into account help expand firms’ customer base, enhance customer satisfaction, improve financial and business performance and attract more funds from other investors looking to make an impact.”

If you’re thinking “there’s nothing wrong with equality”, Modern Socialists do not really mean equality, they mean implementing control of the private sector by Government, using the scare of doom from the climate emergency and the squishy “shouldn’t women have the same chance as men? Who could possibly be against that?” If you don’t support women, you’ll be branded a sexist and misogynist and that you hate women. Let’s face it, it’s a pretty good means of trying to pass their agenda, since most will fail to dig deep and see what this actually looks like in practice, that it ends with massive government control of our individual lives and the private sector.

Biden, Pelosi, Other Democrats Already Threatening To Blow Up Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal

By William Teach June 25, 2021 – 6:49 am

Joe is totally basking in the bipartisanship

Bipartisanship Lives, and Biden Takes a Bow

See?

Joe Biden basks in bipartisan glow, if but for a fleeting moment

Biden Brain SlugIt was the type of ‘I told you so’ moment Joe Biden lives for.

Standing before the media on Thursday, the president basked in the limelight of a bipartisan infrastructure deal. It wasn’t just the specifics of the package that had him revved up. It was the way it had come together. The longtime creature of the Senate who has boasted endlessly about his mastery of the art of compromise now had proof that this seemingly antiquated form of governance could work.

See? How’s that bipartisanship Sleepy Joe campaigned on working out?

Joe Biden Vows Not to Sign Infrastructure Deal Without ‘Tandem’ Bill for More Taxes and ‘Human Infrastructure’

President Joe Biden said Thursday he would not sign a bipartisan infrastructure deal with moderate Republican senators without an additional partisan funding package for entitlements.

“I control that. If they don’t come, I’m not signing it. Real simple,” Biden said, when reporters asked how he planned to get both measures through Congress at the same time. (snip)

“We need physical infrastructure, but we also need the human infrastructure as well,” Biden said, adding that, “We’re going to have to do that through the budget process and we need a fair tax system to pay for it all.”

Huh

Pelosi Suggests She Will Blow Up Infrastructure Deal if Radical Demands Are Not Met

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Thursday suggested she will blow up the bipartisan infrastructure bill if the Senate does not also pass a reconciliation bill.

When asked how she is trying to quell the concerns of the progressive members of her caucus, the 81-year-old California Democrat essentially said she is willing to blow up the deal if their demands are not met, demanding a reconciliation bill to pass Democrat agenda items without the threat of a GOP filibuster.

Excitable AOC totally agreed with Nancy.

Far-Left Senate Democrats Mull Sinking Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal over Climate Provisions

Far-left Senate Democrats opposed on Thursday the bipartisan infrastructure deal between President Joe Biden and Republicans due to canceled “climate” provisions.

Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA), Vice President Kamala Harris’s Senate seat replacement, told a Forbes reporter shortly after the deal was agreed upon that “This bipartisan deal, it’s not enough. It doesn’t meet the moment.”

Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) also said he was “not willing to support throwing climate overboard.”

Most of these Democrats are throwing around “reconciliation”, meaning they are going to add so much left wing garbage back in to the bill that the GOP will not even vote for it in the Senate, will block it using the filibuster, hence the Democrats needing to use reconciliation to pass it, as they do not need a 60 vote threshold to allow a final passage vote. Why can’t Democrats simply craft a bill for each of their left wing agendas? Oh, right, it won’t pass.

(Breitbart) McConnell said, “I was initially optimistic, but [it] can best be described as a tale of two press conferences. After the first one, the president walks out with a bipartisan group and blesses an infrastructure bill that many of my members are quite optimistic about. And then after all of those people depart the White House, the president goes out for the second press conference and says, unless you pass my tax bill, I won’t sign the infrastructure bill. So, what it does is put my members, including myself, who were optimistic about doing a bipartisan infrastructure bill, in the position of our Democratic friends having to guarantee that the 2017 tax bill is unwound. That’s our one red line. We’re not going to revisit the 2017 tax bill. … And so, I think we’ve gone from optimism to pessimism as a result of the president’s second press conference.”

Republicans should give Democrats about 5 minutes to see what happens, and, if Democrats try putting stuff back in, simply walk away. Don’t even bother being involved.

Bummer: Bipartisan “Infrastructure” Plan Mostly Eliminates Climate Crisis (scam) Measures

By William Teach June 24, 2021 – 3:00 pm

Of course, what is sure to happen is that people will attempt to add provisions back into the bill to deal with Hotcoldwetdry, along with other unrelated measures

Bipartisan infrastructure deal will likely omit major climate change measures

White House negotiators and a group of senators struck a deal on a bipartisan infrastructure agreement on Thursday that will likely slash measures to combat climate change and help the U.S. transition to a clean-energy economy.

The narrow infrastructure deal would leave President Joe Biden’s proposals on climate change to a separate bill that Democrats could attempt to pass through Congress using reconciliation, a process that doesn’t require Republican support.

The second package could also include programs related to child and elder care, education, and health care, in addition to climate change measures, issues that administration officials have called “human infrastructure.”

The expected elimination of climate measures in the plan comes as the world grapples with the effects of climate change — including worsening disasters like hurricanes, wildfires and droughts — and scientists urge that immediate action to slash greenhouse emissions is critical to avoid the worst consequences of global warming. Details of the plan are expected to be revealed later on Thursday.

“We made serious compromises on both ends … We’ll see what happens in the reconciliation bill and the budget process,” the president said at the White House on Thursday.

See? They’ll just add climate cult stuff back in, at which point do they lose Republican support? We can almost guarantee there is too much Crazy in the bipartisan agreement to start with. This is what Democrats consider serious compromises: keeping a good chunk of what they want, giving Republicans almost nothing, then putting things back in.

Meanwhile

It’s More Than Just Rain and Snow. Climate Change Will Hit Air Travel in Surprising Ways

Snow is never mentioned in the article, but, just the headlines should tell you it’s a cult.

Climate change could make Yellowstone’s Old Faithful less faithful

….

The study also puts the reliability of geyser Old Faithful into doubt. Known for blasting water into the air at reliable intervals of about 90 to 94 minutes, scientists recently found evidence that Old Faithful had ceased to erupt 800 years ago for several decades due to a drought. Another instance of intense drought in the area could plausibly cause it to cease again.

Um, what caused it to stop 800 years ago?

San Francisco To Require All City Employees To Be Vaccinate Or Get Fired

By William Teach June 24, 2021 – 10:30 am

Coming to a Democratic Party run city near you

San Francisco will require all city workers to get COVID vaccine

San Francisco’s roughly 35,000 city employees will be required to get the coronavirus vaccine — or else possibly face getting fired, local officials said Wednesday.

The new policy would likely make the northern California city the first in the US to mandate that all government staffers be inoculated against COVID-19, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

Exemptions will be granted for medical or religious reasons, the report said. Workers without exemptions who still refuse to get vaccinated will face “repercussions [that] go all the way up to termination,” said Mawuli Tugbenyoh, chief of policy for the city’s Department of Human Resources. (snip)

Employees will then have 10 weeks to get their jabs, and will be required to report their vaccination status through the city’s payroll system. They will need to provide proof, such as a photo of their vaccination card.

Roughly 55 percent of city workers have said that they are already at least partially vaccinated, according to the Chronicle.

One jab is not vaccinated. Axios reports

By the numbers: Data released on June 11 shows 80% of eligible residents had received at least one dose.

Nearly 70% of all San Franciscans had been fully vaccinated by this date.

San Francisco has a long way to go for the employees to get the vaccine, and it will be tough to get the workforce fully vaccinated. Even in a super leftist city like SF it is tough to get everyone to Comply. Will they sack employee? I guess we’ll learn in 10 weeks. And we’ll learn whether they really mean they’ll allow medical and/or religious exemptions.

Reps. Mike Rogers, Kevin Calvert Make Case For Military Focusing On China, Not Climate Crisis Scam

By William Teach June 24, 2021 – 8:01 am

It’s ridiculous that these two Republicans even need to make the case, but, Democrats are unhinged, and it’s easy to make the military focus on Hotcoldwetdry so that Warmists do not have to do anything in their own lives

The case for a defense budget that focuses more on China, less on climate change

Since President Biden’s inauguration, we have seen what happens when America projects weakness rather than strength.

On May 8, the Taliban targeted and killed 85 people, mostly girls going to school in Kabul. On May 12, Hamas launched a relentless rocket attack against Israel wounding over 500. Earlier this year, Russia began massing over 100,000 troops on the Ukrainian border and a Russia-linked cyberattack on the Colonial Pipeline last month shutdown 45 percent of the gasoline supplied to the East Coast. Beijing is increasing its military activity in the South China Sea and continues to violate freedoms in Hong Kong and threaten Taiwan. In the midst of this, the Biden administration has been absent. Weakness invites chaos and when America steps back from its leadership role in the world, as President Biden has done, violence and unrest are the result.

One of the ways America signals to the world that we will continue to be a global leader is by maintaining a strong national defense. Unfortunately, President Biden’s proposed FY2022 defense budget sends the wrong message to our allies and our adversaries. By failing to keep pace with inflation, the President’s budget amounts to a cut of over $4 billion in defense spending. Meanwhile, his budget proposes to increase non-defense spending by a massive $104 billion or 16 percent.

Furthermore, within that reduced topline, the administration redirects nearly $650 million in critically needed military modernization and procurement funding to climate change and to monitor the social media accounts of our servicemembers. These initiatives have nothing to do with ensuring we have a lethal force ready to “fight tonight”. When we dedicate scarce defense funding to global climate change, biofuels initiatives, and social engineering experiments with military personnel you can almost hear the cheers and laughter of our adversaries.

Defense is in the Constitution, a duty that is explicit mentioned: the climate emergency nuttery is not. China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea are loving this (along with the other insane stuff, like teaching critical race theory, going after any service member engaged in Wrongthink, the gender confused, and more). What else would you expect from Dementia Joe? He’s all sorts of worried about the imaginary and manufactured issue of climate doom. But not enough to cut out his own use of fossil fuels.

NY Times: Say, Have Y’all Noticed That A Lot Of Police Officers Have Left The Job?

By William Teach June 24, 2021 – 7:51 am

A rather good, almost honest article from the NY Times on cops leaving their jobs over the last year, with the defund the police movement and the blame from politicians heavily minimized

Why Police Have Been Quitting in Droves in the Last Year

As protests surged across the country last year over the death of George Floyd at the hands of the Minneapolis police, Officer Lindsay C. Rose in Asheville, N.C., found her world capsized.

Various friends and relatives had stopped speaking to her because she was a cop. During a protest in June around Police Headquarters, a demonstrator lobbed an explosive charge that set her pants on fire and scorched her legs.

She said she was spit on. She was belittled. Members of the city’s gay community, an inclusive clan that had welcomed her in when she first settled in Asheville, stood near her at one event and chanted, “All gay cops are traitors,” she said.

By September, still deeply demoralized despite taking several months off to recuperate, Officer Rose decided that she was done. She quit the Police Department and posted a sometimes bitter, sometimes nostalgic essay online that attracted thousands of readers throughout the city and beyond.

“I’m walking away to exhale and inhale, I’m leaving because I don’t have any more left in me right now,” she wrote. “I’m drowning in this politically charged atmosphere of hate and destruction.”

Where was the hate coming from? That’s somewhat glossed over, as the Times certainly wants to take a soft approach and not make their leftist, cop hating readership mad

Officer Rose was hardly alone. Thousands of police officers nationwide have headed for the exits in the past year.

A survey of almost 200 police departments indicated that retirements were up 45 percent and resignations rose by 18 percent in the year from April 2020 to April 2021 when compared with the previous 12 months, according to the Police Executive Research Forum, a Washington policy institute.

New York City saw 2,600 officers retire in 2020 compared with 1,509 the year before. Resignations in Seattle increased to 123 from 34 and retirements to 96 from 43. Minneapolis, which had 912 uniformed officers in May 2019, is now down to 699. At the same time, many cities are contending with a rise in shootings and homicides.

And then these same cities saw their crime skyrocket, including murder and attempted murder. Surprise!

The fact that the protests were directed at them pushed many officers to quit, he said. “They said that we have become the bad guys, and we did not get into this to become the bad guys.”

A sense that the city (of Asheville) itself did not back its police was a key reason for the departures, according to officers themselves as well as police and city officials. Officers felt that they should have been praised rather than pilloried after struggling to contain chaotic protests.

And that’s pretty much the only mention. Defund the police? One quick mention later. The police in Asheville, who were initially praised after dealing with the unhinged, violent protests, were then pilloried by the police chief and mayor. We saw the video: the police were being attacked, violence was going on, and the high mucky-mucks expected the officers to essentially say “pretty please, stop” to these nutjobs.

To make do, the A.P.D. has trimmed its services even as shootings and other violent crimes escalated, a trend that has been seen across the country and which many experts have connected to disruption from the pandemic. The police received about 650 calls for “shots fired” last year, Chief Zack said, and there were 10 homicides, compared with seven the year before. Aggravated assaults were also up.

The department shuttered a downtown satellite office, stopped bicycle patrols and is making fewer traffic stops. It published a list of 10 incidents to which it would no longer dispatch officers, including some vehicle thefts, and urged citizens to file simple complaints online rather than calling.

All but one of the seven officers who investigated domestic violence and sexual assault left, so the department is trying to get three officers up to speed on the skills needed.

Asheville isn’t Portland or Chicago: it’s a very nice, middle of nowhere city in the NC mountains that was once very safe, a wonderful weekend destination for so many. Now? Neighborhood Scout ranks it a 1, which is the worst number a city can get. That’s worse than Chicago. Violent crime is double the NC and US rates, and property crime is almost 3 times the NC and US rates. All those people who caused problems and want to slam the cops, defund them, abuse them in Asheville? They should be required to stay, so they can deal with the fallout of their policies.

Your Fault: Crushing Climate Impacts Sooner Than Feared

By William Teach June 23, 2021 – 4:14 pm

There was no point trying to come up with a new headline. The original has all the fearmongering needed. And all because you refuse to give up your fossil fueled vehicle and moo cow burgers, getting an electric vehicle to go get a veggie burger instead

Crushing climate impacts to hit sooner than feared: draft UN report

Climate change will fundamentally reshape life on Earth in the coming decades, even if humans can tame planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions, according to a landmark draft report from the UN’s climate science advisors obtained by AFP.

Species extinction, more widespread disease, unliveable heat, ecosystem collapse, cities menaced by rising seas—these and other devastating climate impacts are accelerating and bound to become painfully obvious before a child born today turns 30.

The choices societies make now will determine whether our species thrives or simply survives as the 21st century unfolds, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) says in a draft report seen exclusively by AFP.

But dangerous thresholds are closer than once thought, and dire consequences stemming from decades of unbridled carbon pollution are unavoidable in the short term.

By far the most comprehensive catalogue ever assembled of how climate change is upending our world, the report reads like a 4,000-page indictment of humanity’s stewardship of the planet.

This “report” is 4,000 pages, but, sadly, won’t be released in time for the next UN IPCC COP in Glasgow late this year (with thousands taking long fossil fueled trips to attend), but, giving up some Doom-mongering as the summer hits plays well with the Cult of Climastrology.

Here’s the question (besides the normal of “when will these people practice what they preach?”): what are the consequences to those who attach their name to this report, along with those who doom-cheer it, rather than being skeptical, 30 years from now when none of this comes to fruition?

There is very little good news in the report, but the IPCC stresses that much can be done to avoid worst-case scenarios and prepare for impacts that can no longer be averted, the final takeaway.

Conservation and restoration of so-called blue carbon ecosystems—kelp and mangrove forests, for example—enhance carbon stocks and protect against storm surges, as well as providing wildlife habitats, coastal livelihoods and food security.

Transitioning to more plant-based diets could also reduce food-related emissions as much as 70 percent by 2050.

But simply swapping a gas guzzler for a Tesla or planting billions of trees to offset business-as-usual isn’t going to cut it, the report warns.

“We need transformational change operating on processes and behaviours at all levels: individual, communities, business, institutions and governments,” it says.

Strange, a complete change of everything. Who’s in charge of this?
