The World’s Oceans Are in Danger, Major Climate Change Report Warns

This is the biggest news story of the day.

Let me guess the gist of the story. If we don't spend trillions of dollars destroying the US economy the world is doomed ?

An angry little girl at the UN said if we raise taxes in the US, the world will be okay.

Apparently, a lot of dimwits believed her.

The sheep believe climate change is about saving the planet, for the elite its about making a shit ton of money while punishing Western civilization.

Well, how convenient for you. Very little thinking required. You can go on autopilot, now!

So, in your unmatched wisdom, is there ANYONE who cares about climate change because they care about the planet their kids and grandkids inherit?

 

[ThunderKiss1965]

Will the plans to combat global warming be expensive or affordable ?

To you? Or to the billionaires that you stump for?

You could confiscate all the wealth from every billionaire in the US and it wouldn't make a dent in the kind of money the loons want for the bullshit. So who the fuck do you think is going to make up the difference ?

"The loons"

Ah yes, the loons that have so much power... And then there's scientists, just asking everyone to try to slow the process of taking fixed carbon out of the ground and putting it in the atmosphere. Are they loons, too?

 

[basquebromance]

Our crisis of environmental injustice is the result of decades of discrimination, environmental racism, and choices by our government to put corporate profits before people. It is unacceptable, and it must change.

You can't answer my question, after you people fleece the rich and successful who is going to pay for the remaining trillions ?

WONT SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN

If you had science on your side, you wouldn't have to fear-monger and exploit children.

Well, as it turns out, we won't have to fleece all the rich, or all the corporations. We have smart people that know things, and we should give them nice sums of money to develop better tech. We simultaneously put pressure on emissions, using, among other things, the Carbon tax. We incentive businesses to meet targets. Trust me, all the rich people will still be rich. You can stop weeping over the mere possibility that, one day, they may not be rich. They can't hear you.

This is the biggest news story of the day.

The New York Times is full of shit, of course.

If the situation with so called "Climate Change" was as critical as their story says, the true believers on the stage in Westerville last night would have spent at least an hour out of the 3 chatting about this.

They barely mentioned it.

 

[MisterBeale]

i have nightmares about this. the sharp crack as the moorings fail, the tide washing in and out, pulling relentlessly and remorselessly until my house is adrift on the water, then swallowed up by the sea.

either we do something about climate change my friends...or we all die!

Sure, we can tax the people to fund scientists at major energy concerns like Exxon Mobil to develop new technology. But there is no guarantee with research, or that the new technology will actually work.

The problem with the way the libs address the idea of "Climate Change" is just massive socialist programs.

That's the real reason why it smells like a scamola.

Long before "Climate Change" was ever identified, Libs advocated for the exact same social programs they say are now essential for the climate.

What are the odds of that? The same Socialist agenda that was already advocated for , is now determined to be a cure for the climate.

What a coincidence. Except for the fact I don't believe in coincidences.

 

[MisterBeale]

i speak for the trees...for the trees have no tongues!

I have had conversations with the trees. . . they are just fine.

In fact, they love all the added CO2.

Do you even know what they breath?

Agreed.

The sustainable development goals of the UN have been around since the 90's. The world elites have always wanted something to create a world government out of. The model is China.

They have needed something dire to give them a push.




The rulers want a different more exclusive lifestyle. They are feeding everyone a lie.

If it were true, this would be the truth. As it is, the MSM covers up the grass roots movement to save the environment from the corporate raiders. It uses these useful idiots to like the leftest shills on this site to push the corporate line.

The road to hell is paved with corporate profits and compromised NGOs

Political Climate - Wrong Kind of Green
The Vacuum
"Solutions to the crisis, so far, have been full of more hot air than the Caribbean jet stream in an El Niño year. Pounced on by special interests looking to consolidate power or advance agendas, many so-called climate change movements stop short of addressing the actual problem because doing so threatens the very power structure they belong to.

The environmental movement in the United States resulted from precisely such a challenge to the status quo. Specifically, the booming post-war pesticide industry when Rachel Carson published her seminal book “Silent Spring” and revealed the dangers of DDT. The outcry drove the push to ban the noxious chemical and a new awareness of our habitat’s fragility arose among the general population.

The industrial pesticide camp didn’t just back down, of course. In fact, they came up with far worse ideas like the infamous, cancer-causing Round Up and invested heavily in marketing to hide their horrible effects from us. Many ecologically-minded organizations, like Sierra Club and others sprang up in the same period and have grown into multi-million dollar concerns, which expend as much energy raising money to run their operations as they do fighting the climate crisis. It’s debatable whether, on balance, they are having a net positive effect on the issue at all.

We now have a global environmental advocacy industry, that organizes hundreds of international conferences, rallies and branded awareness campaigns around the world. Much of their work is tied to established political networks and end up serving the interests of the friendliest public servants.

This is Zero Hour – The Movie
Last weekend, a climate change youth conference called “This is Zero Hour” was held in Miami. Dozens of teenage organizers and distinguished panel guests were flown in from around the country to participate in the three-day event held at the Miami Airport Convention Center (MACC). Any contradictions arising from the choice of venue and the highly publicized position against air travel by the conference’s biggest draw and environmental celebrity, Greta Thunberg, were likely overlooked on account of cost considerations.

Attendance was underwhelming, to say the least. Unsurprising if one considers the general bent of Miami’s politics. Despite facing one of the most immediate threats in sea level rise, many of the city’s residents still consider climate change to be a hoax. That said, the low turn out had more to do with the inexperience of its teenage organizers than with a scarcity of environmental activists in South Florida, which certainly do exist.

Nevertheless, the hand of the grown-ups was conspicuous throughout the proceedings. Specifically, in the multi-person professional camera crew walking around with hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of film and sound equipment. At least two documentaries were being produced (excluding my own), and one of those was being commissioned by the office of Nancy Pelosi.

At least one of the speakers, was also representing the Speaker’s office and occasionally used the stage to encourage audience members to participate in the film by volunteering for on-camera interviews. All three crews looked like they worked for the same company. They carried identical camera stabilizing gear and the teams were all configured the same way: a camera operator, sound guy with a boom and a production assistant.

The film crews’ presence was so ubiquitous, it seemed as if the conference itself was organized just for the purposes of making the film. One instance, in particular, convinced me that this was, in fact, the case:

During a session called “Indigenous Stories from the Frontlines”, which featured a panel of 5 Native girls who were supposed to share accounts of their experience as indigenous women in the context of the climate crisis, one of the camera men got up on the stage, pulled up a chair and sat just a few feet away from the panel, while the production assistant directed the operator from below.

This brazen move blocked my camera’s shot of the panel, along with other independent press who had set up on that side of the room. I immediately approached the production assistant to ask if her camera guy intended to stay in that spot for the entire session, to which she responded in the affirmative. Miffed, I promptly moved my tripod-mounted camera to the other side.

Confirmation of who was actually in charge came after the session had already begun. The production assistant, whom I believe was actually directing all the crews, made the panelists stop and move their chairs to accommodate the shot! I was flabbergasted.

As someone with ample experience covering conferences as both outside press and as official videographer for the organizing party, I am thoroughly familiar with the protocol and this level of interference in conference proceedings is unheard of. Even in the capacity of official event videographer, intrusion of this sort is never allowed.

This was bad enough, but a more sinister reality started to become clear to me as the panel session unfolded.

The Real Cultural Appropriation
I don’t share the outrage over so-called cultural appropriation prevalent in some circles, that believe fashion or gastronomy are akin to intellectual property belonging to the cultures in which they emerged. Not only does this promote the terrible notion that is intellectual property, itself, but it is this kind of exchange of styles and ingredients in which cultures are created. But, I digress.

To me, true cultural appropriation is what happened at the “This is Zero Hour” conference with its hijacking of the plight of indigenous people in an attempt to add a veneer of legitimacy to the brand, for lack of a better term.

This became evident in the contrast between the panel comprising the five Native women and the panel immediately preceding it. Perhaps most obvious example was the initiation of each days’ conference itinerary with a take on the indigenous tradition known as “Land Recognition” – an acknowledgement of the territory one is on and expression of gratitude for those who reside in it. Had this been performed by any one of the Native people who were part of the conference, perhaps I’d be less cynical. But, in both cases, the stripped down imitation of indigenous protocol was carried out by teen age white girls, high up on the organizers’ hierarchy. . . .

A carbon tax that will increase costs for everything, who is going to pay for those increases the most ? Why do you want to make people like Al Gore billionaires ?

The other night, I was watching a news story on coral reefs that are dying in the Florida Keys, one of the main ones affected was the staghorn coral.

Now, back in 1992, when I was stationed with VFA-131 Wildcats, we went on a 2 week detachment to Key West, and one of the main activities I did there was a lot of snorkeling and chasing lobsters. When I see what it is now, compared to what it was back in 1992, I can tell you that it has DRASTICALLY changed.

Same thing with the Great Barrier Reef. Yes, we need to pay attention to what is going on and figure out a way to stop it, or we won't be long for this planet.

I started snorkeling in Maui in the 1980s.

At that time the ocean had tons of bright coral and fish.

Now the same place has nothing but gray dead coral and very few fish.

It was very shocking the first time I saw the dead coral. It's only gotten worse. Now, you have to swim very far out into the ocean to see any live coral and fish in several places. Especially my two favorite places. By Blackrock and Honolua Bay.

Would that be the result of many small personal craft, cargo and cruise ships with fishing ships included? Do not mix them and the pollution they cause with climate change.

True.

That's just it. If you really believe in AGW, materialism IS the problem.

All international travel and trade should stop immediately. It really is. . . a no brainer.

The U.S. should cease to exist as a nation, and all production and commerce should be done locally.

But these elites aren't serious, they know AGW isn't real.

 

[sparky]

But these elites aren't serious, they know AGW isn't real.

Doesn't matter what they believe , it matters what we believe of the oilocracy

AGW proof means they, as well as us by proxy, become the biggest 'per capita' polluters

That would result in far more little girls yammering @ UN conventions than i think most of us could stand....

They don't give a shit. Obama gave Solyndra a half-billion dollars of taxpayer money and there was no product developed. But, hey, Obama's big donor got almost a billion dollars in tax breaks, so that's all that matters, right?

I wouldn't trust Democrats to run a little league bake sale. They'd fuck up the cookies and steal all the money.
