Global warming-obsessed climatologists and media told us back in 2020 that snow and frost would be rare – a thing of the past!
Now with the heavy, record snowfall, global warming astrologists are looking a bit foolish and embarrassed. Their predictions are wrong. Already in November snow arrived and record amounts have already fallen.
You had me at “global warming astrologists”…
Read the whole thing.
Stephen Moore has an excellent “story of the film so far” about the Net Zero / Green energy / no more cars with engines / unicorn fart-based energy initiative:
The Wall Street Journal reported last week that “clean energy” investment funds are tanking, with some down as much as 70% in recent months. Solar has been one of the worst-performing industry stocks this year.
This collapse is happening right when Exxon and Chevron have engineered a combined $110 billion blockbuster acquisitions to expand oil and gas drilling in the Permian Basin in Texas, one of the biggest oil fields in the world. This year, they both reported their largest profits ever.
They and their investors are looking at the real-world data, not green energy propaganda. In 2023, the world is guzzling oil and gas like never before. Global consumption of fossil fuels was higher in 2022 than at any time in human history, even as the developed countries spend hundreds of billions of dollars trying to stop oil, gas and coal.
As they say: follow the money. All the politicians’ wishful thinking won’t change the nature of the world (i.e. reality), as much as they’d like to think it can.
Yesterday we learned that “football hooligans” (a.k.a. loyal and decent Brits) are going to stop the Pal terrorsymps from taking over the Remembrance Day memorial.
Now we have this:
Football hooligans alliance supporters warn fans ‘do not come tooled up’ with weapons as they bid to ‘protect’ the Cenotaph from pro-Palestine protest – and sell out coaches for hundreds to head to London.
My thought is precisely the opposite: by all means bring weapons, because you have to know that the “peaceful” terrorsymps surely will — and the last thing you need is to face some dangerous asshole down with only your fists when he’s carrying a “sign-holder” (club).
No no: bring weapons yourselves, but do not brandish them or take them out — ever — unless you’re physically attacked.
Then have at it, and may the best thug win.
No doubt someone’s going to have a problem with this, but I don’t care. Even in Britishland, one should have the proper (and lawful) means of self-defense, e.g. a pair of sap gloves (as worn by the cops, ergo legal), and some kind of head protection (e.g. one of these). I had both on my last visit to Britishland, but I just never told anyone about them.
I also recommend carrying a sign (suitably provocative) affixed to a pickax handle.
It’s all about freedom of expression, innit?
Now I’m not saying I approve of this guy’s solution to an obstruction in the road.
But I do understand it. I don’t know where ideologues get this idea that they can mess with people’s lives and livelihoods just because The Cause Is Just. I recall watching these self-righteous tits pulling a similar stunt in Britishland — and stopping an ambulance from carrying an injured person to hospital.
Clearly, to them The Cause is more important than a human life. So if someone decides that their ability to go about their business without being obstructed, heckled and in some cases attacked is more important than a human life (as Our Hero did in the above article), then the “protesters” have little to protest about when that circumstance includes their lives.
I see that our hot-headed gunman has been arrested and is facing trial. I bet he had a really good reason to whack a couple of the Smellies I mean Passionate Protesters. And if he did, and gets released without being charged, no doubt the streets will be filled with hordes of the Perpetually Indignant protesting that.
What a fucking circus (Latin for “round”) we have here.
I think I’ll spend a little time at the range today. Just because.
If you watch nothing else today, watch Jordan Peterson taking apart Justin Trudeau and, by extension, Canada and international wokism. I started to collect some choice quotes, but gave up because there are just too many. (The longer video is here.)
Me, I just wonder when the worm will finally start to turn…
The Greatest Living Englishman has turned his ire towards the BBC, and at climate fearmongers in general:
Amazon Prime star Jeremy Clarkson has slammed weather forecasters for spreading what he has described as “green propaganda” in his latest column.
The Clarkson’s Farm presenter, 63, went on to explain that due to inaccurate weather reports, he and many other farmers and been forced to “take a massive financial hit” for “absolutely no reason”.
Jeremy recalled how earlier this week, weather presenters had claimed “an apocalyptic storm would arrive in Britain on Tuesday night”.
The Former Top Gear host went on to explain how, due to predictions of weeks of “torrential rain and gales”, he had felt forced to harvest his crops even though they weren’t ready because the moisture content was too high.
“Yes, I’d have to pay £10 a ton to dry the grain after it was harvested but better to take that hit than have the whole lot ruined by the storm,” he wrote in his column for the Sun.
“We worked tirelessly until 11pm and when I finally crawled into bed, utterly exhausted, I noticed that all of my neighbouring farmers were still out here, doing the same thing.”
Here’s what he was talking about:
But:
The ex-BBC star went on to express his outrage when he had expected to see “Armageddon” the next morning only to be greeted by “blue skies and a gentle breeze”.
“So the farmers had brought in their harvest early and taken a massive financial hit that they can’t afford… for absolutely no reason,” Jeremy fumed.
So he lashed out.
“They feel compelled, when it’s warm, to paint their maps dark red and talk about ‘extreme heat’. And similarly, to keep Greta and the snowflake army happy, they need to say when it’s a bit chilly, that we will all soon be buried under a 20-foot snow drift,” he complained.
“They see their weather forecasts now as political weapons. Baseball bats which can be used to beat the oil companies into submission. And they’ll mangle statistics if that’s what’s necessary.”
He then went on to beg weather forecasters to share “the truth” with farmers and to save their “propaganda forecasts” for people who need to “turn the heating down”.
“They think that the constant wrongness doesn’t matter, because a wonky weather forecast only affects people planning barbecues,” he stated. “But to farmers, it bloody well does matter.”
Frankly, if I were a British farmer, I’d subscribe to an actual meteorogical service and learn to interpret the data for myself.
And refuse to pay the BBC license fee, like millions of other Brits are doing.
