Right. So we have three years to cut carbon emissions by 100% and then ten years to cut them by a further 50%? That makes an interesting mathematical paradox? Or maybe they mean us to stop now and then go backwards [as far as the Middle Ages?].
This is no problem to us ingenious Irish. According to Eamonn Ryan [Green Party Leader with the intellect of a bicycle lamp with a dud battery] all we have to do is to take some simple steps.
First of all we have to cut down on our long haul flights. Now I confess this will be hard as I had plans to visit South Africa and San Francisco several times this year. Maybe I’ll go in fifteen years when the panic is over?
We have to reduce the time we spend in showers. There’s nothing wrong with that. You spend a time washing off all those essential oils off your skin and then spend a fortune replacing them with expensive essential oils. Much better to leave those oils alone and have maybe one shower a year [or else when people start to complain about the smell].
We are to eat less meat. Well, one of my favourite recipes at the moment is Mexican Bean Pie which is a pain in the arse to cook but is delicious. It plays havoc with the digestive system though and produces vast quantities of methane [one of their climate gasses?] and also blocks up the sewer. I keep meaning to record one of my anal sonatas and use it as the ringtone on my phone. Having said that, another favourite is beef burgers with onion gravy and mashed potato [with lashings of butter].
We are to drive less. This could be awkward as it would mean leaving the car halfway down the hill to the village and walking the rest of the way. Then of course I would have to walk back up the hill again after to collect the car. Sorry Eamonn but fuck that! It’s a stupid idea.
But hold on a minute! Have we not heard this before? I could swear that in the past I have seen almost identical startling headlines in previous years. So ten years ago were they telling us that we had only a couple of years to save the planet? I know for a fact that many, if not all of their previous predictions haven’t come to pass.
So carry on as you are.
They’ll be saying the same thing in ten years time anyway.
As we are all aware, every scare prediction about the climate nonsense over the past 30 years has proved to be laughably wrong, so there’s no reason to think this will be any different.
But careers, pensions and brownie-points are at stake, so they’ll carry on repeating the garbage just as long as we carry on paying them. Therein lies the solution, stop paying them and the climate will look after itself as it has done for millennia (including after numerous ‘ice ages’ when, miraculously, the climate magically warmed up without a single power station or internal combustion engine to take responsibility – spooky that.)
They know it is all crap. But it pays terrific wages. They know cutting CO2 emissions is crap.And starves plant life. Electricity from windmills and solar panels is crap. Forty ton battery powered trucks is crap. Battery powered airliners. Crap.
The simple point is they do not want any of these idiotic objectives. What they want is the appalling damage that will be inflicted on society and the economy by trying to deliver them. The waste of money in the form of misapplied spending will at the reckoning be Galactic. Meanwhile Africa would welcome better food water transport. OAPs might like to eat and heat at the same time.
They want the money misapplied. They want misery and mayhem then they can install the Great Reset. Digital money.Chinese style social credits etc. Owning nothing but being happy.
These Marxists have played a very long game.But the final steps are easier and easier to see.
They want the side effects of this nonsense so they can install their New world Order.
Accurate satellite temperature measurements are upsetting these gravy-train riders – it’s hard to dispute the obvious lack of a warming trend when it’s harder to distort the figures.
Most ground-based temperature records have been from sites which were once rural, so mostly unaffected by mass transport. Their Stevenson Screen enclosures protect against direct sunlight effects, but increased urbanization has made many of these measurement sites unsuitable – there are now some at what were once small airports with grass runways, but are now vast expanses of concrete, so having locally elevated temperatures recorded.
As Matt says, it’s all crap.
I remember seeing a load of photographs of Stevenson screens located at the end of runways and under heating outlets. I would imagine that a Beoing’s full take-off thrust would be quite warm?
The politicians claim that they can change the climate, but none of them have the decency to ask us what climate we would like.
Me? I would like the Mediterranean climate we were promised all those years ago.
Anyway, they are going after the wrong element, Carbon. It is sneaky Oxygen that is the villain.
What are the most effective greenhouse gases? Dihydrogen monoxide and Carbon dioxide. Notice something in common? Yes that o so innocent O.
For the truth about dihydrogen monoxide go to DHMO.org.
We want a 100% reduction in oxygen. After that Mother Earth can start from scratch.
I don’t really mind what climate we have provided it includes a few months of guaranteed warmth and sunshine in summer. It would be nice to be able to plan a holiday in advance without discovering I have chosen a cold wet windy destination.
