Getting Back To Business

Business, Eco-Crap

After fucking around with all the Global Cooling Climate Warming Change© nonsense, some sanity may be peeking its little head out of Britishland’s economic foreskin:

Britain’s biggest environmental quangos could be scrapped as part of a new Tory war on red tape designed to boost growth.

Shadow Chancellor Andrew Griffith will unveil plans to ‘abolish’ the Environment Agency and Natural England to help streamline regulations that are ‘acting as a drag anchor on our economy’.

Mr Griffith will argue that ‘the biggest deregulation project in a generation’ could help kick start the sluggish economy, drive investment and cut prices.

He will claim that cutting red tape and Net Zero rules driving up construction costs could slash the price of a new house by up to £50,000 and boost supply.

Yeah, I hate to pee into the Soup of Goodness™ here, but let me remind y’all that this is the Conservative Party we’re hearing from — and it’s because they always reneged on their promises in the past that they got tossed out during the previous election, ushering the Commies into power.

So let’s not get all excited just yet.

(I’d suggest that the Conservatives ask ArgyPres Milei for tips on how to do all the above, but they’re on the no-speaks with him because he wants to take over the Falkland Islands or something.)

Welcome Relief

Eco-Crap, Eco-Warriors, Watermelons

So now… wait, I thought it was Glueball Wormening that was going to cause catastrophe and WE’RE ALL GONNA DIEEEEE!

Apparently not.

While climatologists fear skyrocketing temperatures, scientists are now warning that a “cold blob” in the Atlantic could trigger a global cooling event, among other apocalyptic scenarios, per an alarming study in Geophysical Research Letters.

Located South of Greenland and Iceland, this anomalous patch of ocean has seen temps dip by 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit since the 19th Century, Science News reported.

Coincidentally, this comes as the United Nations’ influential climate change committee has discarded dire temperature increase models spouted by doomsdayers on the Left.

Of course, now that Global Cooling Climate Warming Change© has been debunked, it’s time for Global Warming Climate Cooling Change© — warming or cooling, it’s important to keep us all in a state of climate-related panic, you see.

Speaking of states, we have Texas,  frying  basking in our typical July summer temperatures — and let me tell y’all, the idea of a little global cooling is not that unattractive a prospect right now.

Finally, Part 2

Eco-Crap, Good News

I said this a couple weeks ago:

Start your engines, rev them loudly and turn your A/C down to 65, because the foolishness is ending:

The reelection of President Donald Trump came with an overall shift in the political landscape regarding climate and energy issues. Since then, major media outlets shut down their climate desks, corporations are easing back on emission-reduction targets, and polls consistently show the public rates climate change low on their list of priorities.

Can we also repeal all those stupid CAFE standards and regulations on auto companies and the cars they sell?

And now this is coming down the turnpike:

U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright today announced the Department of Energy (DOE) has issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to permanently end home appliance and equipment mandates that raise costs and disrupt consumer choice.  The proposal will update the Department’s Process Rule used to establish energy conservation standards for household appliances and equipment, including air conditioning units, gas stoves, washing and drying machines, water heaters, refrigerators, and other products Americans rely on every day.  In America, you should be able to choose a dryer that dries clothes on the first try rather than one that takes multiple cycles — unfortunately, past administrations thought otherwise,” Secretary Wright said. “For too long, the American people paid the price for mandates that restricted consumer choice and drove up costs.  President Trump promised to end this nonsense and that is exactly what we are doing.”

One more time:

Switch Off

Eco-Crap, Sports

Every time I read something that begins “Environmentalists Warn”, I get an almost uncontrollable urge to either fall asleep or head to the range.  This one’s no exception:

Environmentalists Warn World Cup “Most Polluting Ever”…

Yeah, that’s really going to grab your attention, innit?  Because just about every mass spectator event could be similarly brushed.  But wait!

…as FIFA Boss Uses Private Jet to Hit Two Matches a Day

Ummm well, given that FIFA is the organizing body for the whole damn extravaganza, it kinda goes with the territory that they would be flitting from one venue to another, and we are not Qatar, where all the matches took place basically within walking distance of each other.  No;  this latest Big Sport Thing is happening in the United by gawd States, which is a yooge ginormous country and is the only country which, when tasked with providing the proper match facilities for some massive number of matches and hundreds of thousands of visiting spectators, looked at the list, spat some baccy into a cup and said, “Is that all you got?”  We didn’t have to build one single extra stadium, road, hotel or parking lot to handle the huge numbers of spectators.  Sure, the venues were somewhat far apart (by Rest Of The World standards, that is), but them’s the breaks.

If the enviros want to end that little bit of logistical city-hopping, they should hold all future World Cup competitions somewhere else, like Britishland.  Good luck with that.

Ain’t gonna happen, Watermelons, so go and suck it.

Another Nail In The Male Coffin

Eco-Crap, Pussification Parade, Science!

There’s a massive danger to Earth, uncovered by !Scientists!:

Men are bad for the planet, a controversial new study has claimed.

Researchers from 13 countries have joined forces on a new paper, titled ‘Men, masculinities, and the planet at the end of (M)Anthropocene.’  According to the experts, men tend to have a greater carbon footprint than women, largely through travel, transportation, and tourism.  Blokes are also less concerned with climate change – and less willing to change their everyday practices to fix it. 

No shit.  We’re too busy building stuff, moving stuff, drilling for stuff and in general making the planet habitable for everyone.  But wait, we’re doing even MOAR Evil Things!

In addition, typically ‘manly’ activities negatively impact both the environment and the climate.  This includes things like fishing and hunting, as well as meat consumption.  ‘Men tend to be more involved in owning, managing, controlling heavy, chemical, carbon–based, industrialized agriculture, high environmental impact and extractive industries, and of course militarism, with its own devastating environmental effects.’

However did they miss “car racing”?  And only in the fevered mind of academia would hunting and fishing be a danger to the environment, when any fule kno that practitioners of the above are the most ardent supporters of environmental protection.

Of course, it’s all dressed up in the usual pseudo-scientific gobbledegook:

Professor Jeff Hearn, professor of sociology in Huddersfield’s Department of Social and Psychological Sciences, said: ‘There is now plenty of research that shows clear negative impacts of some men’s behavior on the environment and climate.  What is astonishing is how this aspect does not figure in most debate and policy in a more sustainable world.’

That’s because “most debate and policy” concerns itself with more important issues, such as whether Sidney Sweeney’s ever going to do OnlyFans.

On that topic:  they also missed “wanking”.  I’m not sure how that lovely activity is linked to Global Warming Climate Cooling Change©, but I am sure that as we speak there is a group of some asshole “scientists” busy working on a (taxpayer-funded) study on the topic.

People are being paid — in thirteen countries, no less — to produce bullshit like this.

Fach.
