Top O’ the Briefing
Happy Monday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. Krenwell’s desire to make the perfect pinwheel sandwich was continually hampered by his abiding fear of Pergo.
OK, I know I just wrote about the Climate Change loons late last week, but we had more than a few stories pop up about them over the weekend and I felt inspired. Also, I fear for what’s left of my mental health and the safety of others if I don’t take a few days off from writing about the Biden & Son crime syndicate that will never be punished.
Maybe a few weeks.
The mix of stories we had about the crazies the last few days examined the problem in different ways. We’ll begin with the one that shows why we say they’re crazy, which Matt wrote about:
It’s finally come to this: in a report mandated by Congress, the White House cautiously expressed support for exploring the possibility of combating global warming by reducing the amount of sunlight reaching the Earth’s surface. The climate change religion has once again managed to prove there is no limit to its absurdity.
“A program of research into the scientific and societal implications of solar radiation modification (SRM) would enable better-informed decisions about the potential risks and benefits of SRM as a component of climate policy, alongside the foundational elements of greenhouse gas emissions mitigation and adaptation,” the White House report reads. “SRM offers the possibility of cooling the planet significantly on a timescale of a few years.”
This has always been the most absurd aspect of the climate crusade: these people truly believe that they can control all of this. No, really. What started off as a grand scheme to control people so warped them that they began to think that they could control the weather, climate, and probably Earth’s orbit around the Sun.
A lot of us conservatives used to joke back around the time of hurricane Katrina that libs behaved as if George W. Bush caused the hurricane. We’d say that they thought there was a “Bush/Cheney Weather Machine.” We were, of course, merely joking. We hadn’t yet come around to the fact that they thought such a machine might actually exist.
To this point, the climate cultists’ suggestions for mitigating the effects of inevitable climate change have merely been absurd. Drive electric cars that need to be charged with electricity that requires fossil fuels to be generated. Put up windmills — excuse me, turbines — that slaughter all of the birds in the vicinity. Replace grilling steaks with eating bugs.
Slathering the planet in some kind of SPF voodoo takes things to a whole new level of bat**** though.
Catherine covered some new polling which shows that far too many Americans have bought into the climate hysteria but they’re still unwilling to cut the cord with fossil fuels. That tells me that they may have swallowed the hook, but not the line and the sinker just yet. They’re a confused lot on their best days.
In more entertaining climate nutter news, the lame-named group Just Stop Oil, which had one of their stupid protests foiled by some cricket players last week, had another one disrupted by an unlikely source, which Athena wrote about:
Meet Charlie Pearce, a 33-year-old builder and landscaper from Surrey, England, who is getting married in September. Ahead of the big day, he and 13 bros planned a stag party on the Spanish Island of Ibiza. They set out on Friday, dressed for adventure and towing their wheelie suitcases behind them as they walked to London’s Waterloo Station. Suddenly, they came face to face with an obnoxious JSO protest. The climate freaks were engaging in a “slow march” — an un-permitted pop-up protest designed to block traffic and infuriate as many people as possible.
Already in high spirits and dressed head-to-toe in pink and a tutu, Pearce joined right in. He stepped into the front rank of protestors, marching along behind their banner. “We love you oil, we do!” chanted Pearce, pumping a fist as his buddies joined in. The JSO marchers remained silent and plodded forward like good little brain-dead automatons. Then the groom-to-be grabbed the banner in both hands and ran off with it.
The eco-warrior disruptors aren’t really being dealt with adequately by law enforcement; maybe more private citizens can gently help them change their minds about being blights on polite society.
Climate/weather panic has taken on many forms in the last 50 years, and they’ve all been wrong. About everything. The only constant is the ability of the climate chicken littles to constantly move the goalposts after every new entry in the “L” column. They are the very definition of “indefatigable” when it comes to that.
We’ve all heard the lefties say that weather isn’t climate, except when they need it to be, of course. They love to wail about extreme weather being a portent of climate catastrophe. But as David Harsanyi wrote for us last week, extreme weather is less of a threat than ever before:
“Extreme heat kills more people in the United States than any other weather hazard,” is the first claim in this Washington Post piece warning about the deadly summer heat — and it is almost certainly false. Similar warnings about the deadly weather appear in virtually every mainstream media outlet.
First off, the only reason “extreme” temperature kills more people than other weather hazards is that deaths from weather have plummeted over the century — even as doomsday climate warnings about heat, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods and droughts have spiked. All extreme weather accounts for only about 0.1 death for every 100,000 people in the United States each year. That is a massive drop from the time of your grandparents. The Post and others should be celebrating the fact that humans have never been less threatened by the climate in history.
Call in the goalpost-moving squad.
It’s bad enough that Democrats want to see the United States swallowed up by the globalist New World Order. It’s even more galling that they want all of us regular folks to step back 120 or so years and live in eco-poverty gulags once we’re part of the planetary collective.
Let’s hope those goalposts start giving them hernias, and sooner rather than later.
