Euroweenies happy to see Haley leave UN

Put bluntly, her record is bleak. Sure, during her two-year tenure in New York she has given vocal support to certain human rights issues and was one of the more outspoken administration figures criticizing Russia.

Exit from UN bodies

But this is not what she will be remembered for. Haley, one of the earliest and most high-profile female members of Trump’s Cabinet, will be remembered for what happened during her tenure: With her support, the US pulled out of the UN-backed international climate deal, the UN Security Council-backed Iran nuclear deal, the UN cultural organization UNESCO and the UN Human Rights Council.

And I’m one of them! This Bozo Pope fiddles with plastic waste while his Church burns! Catholicism has lost more of its faithful than any other religion in the U.S.

About 13 percent of American adults are former Catholics – representing more departures than any other religion has experienced in the U.S., a survey says.

Bill Nye suggests what Rush joked about years ago! Tax cow farts!

“Well, this is what we can do and it’s a win-win: to have a fee on carbon. So if you are raising livestock and producing a lot of carbon dioxide with your farm equipment and the exhaust from the animals, then you would pay a fee on that and it would be reflected in the price of meat, reflected in the price of fish, reflected in the price of peanuts,” Bill Nye said in a recent interview with the Daily Beast.

If you believe in Global Warming, you’re MORE likely to not take action yourself

I think the reason is simple. Progressives prefer government action. That belief allows one to eschew personal action. That’s why Conservatives give more money to charity than Liberals. And this explains why celebrities such as Leonardo DiCaprio pushes Global Warming by flying around to conferences in his private jet.

Participants in a year-long study who doubted the scientific consensus on the issue “opposed policy solutions,” but at the same time, they “were most likely to report engaging in individual-level, pro-environmental behaviors,” writes a research team led by University of Michigan psychologist Michael Hall.

Conversely, those who expressed the greatest belief in, and concern about, the warming environment “were most supportive of government climate policies, but least likely to report individual-level actions.”

…

Hall and his colleagues can only speculate about the reasons for their results. But regarding the concerned but inactive, the psychological phenomenon known as moral licensing is a likely culprit.

Previous research has found doing something altruistic—even buying organic foods—gives us license to engage in selfish activity. We’ve “earned” points in our own mind. So if you’ve pledged some money to Greenpeace, you feel entitled to enjoying the convenience of a plastic bag.

Regarding climate change skeptics, remember that conservatism prizes individual action over collective efforts. So while they may assert disbelief in order to stave off coercive (in their view) actions by the government, many could take pride in doing what they can do on a personal basis.

The Population Bomb Hoax Turns 50!

I was assigned to read this piece of crap when I was an undergraduate, I think in an English class (which was, of course, totally unrelated, but relativity wasn’t the goal; indoctrination was the object). Before the century was out, Ehrlich told me, there’d be no more oil in the world, the US population would have peaked at 180 million and masses would be starving, and the government would probably be putting birth controlling drugs in our water.

Ehrlich was just about totally wrong. Today he’s an “expert” on climate change.

I might add that in my Geology class, my professor taught me that we were headed for a new, blitz ice age! That same professor is now reaping grant dollars as an advocate of, you probably guessed it, global warming. So don’\t ever wonder why I don’t trust “experts.”

The 1968 doomsday bestseller generated hysteria over the future of the world and the earth’s waning ability to sustain human life, as Stanford biologist Paul Ehrlich offered a series of alarming predictions that turned out to be spectacularly wrong, creating the enduring myth of unsustainable population growth.

Ehrlich prophesied that hundreds of millions would starve to death in the 1970s (and that 65 million of them would be Americans), that already-overpopulated India was doomed, and that most probably “England will not exist in the year 2000.”

In conclusion, Ehrlich warned that “sometime in the next 15 years, the end will come,” meaning “an utter breakdown of the capacity of the planet to support humanity.”

If these musings had been received for what they actually were—the wacky theories of a crackpot academic—all would have been well. But The Population Bomb sold some 3 million copies and influenced an entire generation.

Ideas have practical consequences, and Dr. Ehrlich did not leave his followers guessing as to what they ought to be.

In the course of his illustrious career, Ehrlich has defended mass sterilization, sex-selective abortion, and infanticide. In his call for radical population control, Ehrlich has said he would prefer “voluntary methods” but if people were unwilling to cooperate, he was ready to endorse “various forms of coercion.”

To allow women to have as many children as they want, Ehrlich said, is like letting people “throw as much of their garbage into their neighbor’s backyard as they want.”
