The moonbats at Phys.org had almost caught up to Scientific American when it comes to subordinating science to wokeness. Then they went and admitted that EV owners sin against their own godless religion by having larger carbon footprints:

A pair of psychologists and an economist at the University of Turku, in Finland, have found that because the average electric vehicle (EV) owner is wealthier than the average person, they still have a bigger than average carbon footprint.

So it is not transportation that offends the weather but wealth. Don’t worry, leftist politicians have a cure for that.

Despite EV owners being wealthy enough to waste money on expensive green posturing, their playthings are heavily subsidized by those of us who do not. EV manufacturers naturally raise their prices to match the subsidies.

If anything could be impervious to corruption by moonbattery, it would be science, the purpose of which is to understand objective reality. Yet we read the following in Phys.org:

A new paper, “Differences in misinformation sharing can lead to politically asymmetric sanctions,” published [Wednesday] in Nature suggests that the higher quantity of social media policy enforcement (such as account suspensions) for conservative users could be explained by the higher quantity of misinformation shared by those conservative users—and so does not constitute evidence of inherent biases in the policies from social media companies or in the definition of what constitutes misinformation.

Given that the research was published in Nature and conducted by Experts from MIT, University of Oxford, and Ivy League Cornell and Yale, it should at least pass the laugh test. Let’s see if it does.

Social media users were defined by whether they shared certain hashtags:

Accounts that had shared #Trump2020 before the election were 4.4 times more likely to have been subsequently suspended than those who shared #VoteBidenHarris2020.

No surprise there, considering that Elon Musk didn’t restore free speech to formerly infamously partisan Twitter before taking it over in 2022.

[The researchers] used a set of 60 news domains (the 20 highest volume sites within the categories of mainstream, hyper-partisan and fake news), and collected trustworthiness ratings for each domain from eight professional fact-checkers.

Well-known examples of fact-checkers are Snopes, PolitiFact, and the belligerently partisan propagandists posing as moderators in the Trump/Harris and Vance/Walz debates. You can trust fact-checkers, because they speak for the liberal establishment, which defines truth.

The prestigious researchers found that thought criminals who…

…used Trump hashtags shared four times more links to low-quality news outlets than those who used Biden hashtags.

It can be assumed that a “low-quality” outlet is one that does not bear a seal of approval from the liberal establishment.

Drones Expert David G. Rand of MIT:

“The fact that the social media accounts of conservatives are suspended more than those of liberals is therefore not evidence of bias on the part of tech companies, and shouldn’t be used to pressure tech companies to abandon policies meant to reduce the sharing of misinformation.”

The liberal establishment doesn’t censor conservatives because they are conservative, but because they say things that are not true. We know the things conservatives say are not true because they have not been endorsed by the liberal establishment. The Science has spoken.

No field of endeavor is safe from subversion by moonbattery. Refer to an on-the-level article from Phys.org to see what the Royal Astronomical Society concerns itself with rather than attempting to unravel the mysteries of the universe:

A survey commissioned by the society showed that disabled people, women, Black and minority ethnic, and LGBTQ+ people are much more likely to be bullied and harassed than men and white, straight, and non-disabled people.

Capitalization of “Black” and “white” as in original.

When faced with a crisis of these proportions, the only sensible course of action is to panic:

50% of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer astronomers and geophysicists were bullied in the 24 months preceding the survey, and 12% of bisexual astronomers reported being bullied at least once a week.

What horrific forms of abuse were inflicted? Were their pigtails pulled? Was their lunch money stolen? Were they pushed down on the playground during recess and their faces washed with snow? No one knows…

…because those who took part in the survey were not asked the nature of the bullying and harassment they suffered.

It is safe to assume that the “bullying” consisted of “microaggressions.” These are imaginary slights members of favored identity groups are taught to perceive so as to exert power over disfavored groups.

Here’s how this ostensibly scientific organization managed to reach its asinine findings:

The RAS Committee on Diversity in Astronomy and Geophysics commissioned the survey, which was then carried out by the society’s education, outreach and diversity officer Dr. Sheila Kanani and then RAS diversity officer Dr. Aine O’Brien.

No doubt Drs. Kanani and O’Brien are well paid to discover the oppression of favored groups. They could even find microaggressions on Mars — except that would require looking to the stars, when they are more inclined to examine their own navels in search of racist lint.

What, you still aren’t taking the global warming hoax seriously, even after year upon year of the media hysterically shrieking in your face? Let’s try this:

Same-sex couples have a significant risk of exposure to the adverse effects of climate change — wildfires, floods, smoke-filled skies, drought, etc. — compared to straight couples, according to a new report by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law.

Considering that UCLA’s medical school promotes “revolutionary suicide” and denounces “white science,” what would you expect the law school to engage in if not pure moonbattery?

Here’s why sexual deviants who may participate in the farcification of holy matrimony are more vulnerable than normal people to climate fluctuation ending life on earth:

LGBTQ same-sex couples who live together frequently reside in coastal areas, large cities and places with infrastructure ill-equipped for climate-related disasters.

The liberal bastions known as San Fransicko and the District of Corruption could be hardest hit:

The authors found that San Francisco County, behind the District of Columbia, has the second-highest proportion of same-sex couples in the country and a relatively high risk of national hazards complicating life.

Because the Experts have declared that global warming has a disparate impact on the Alphabet People, those who oppose even the most extravagantly expensive, suffocatingly oppressive, and clearly ineffectual symbolic efforts to impose climate stasis are homophobes and transphobes. Before long, they will be subject to arrest on these grounds in the name of climate justice.

According to the Experts, global warming poses an “existential threat” to life on Earth. The end of the world is hitting transsexual Indonesian prostitutes the hardest:

Joya Patiha, a 43-year-old Indonesian transgender woman, first started to notice that changing weather patterns in the mountain-ringed city of Bandung were affecting [his] income as a sex worker a decade ago.

The rainy season was lasting longer across the West Java province, winds were stronger and in some particularly bad years Patiha lost up to 80% of [his] earnings.

He was soliciting johns outdoors. Even some perverts know enough to stay out of the rain.

Trans women like Patiha are among the most affected by extreme weather linked to climate change…

Even before liberals adopted the global warming hoax as a religion, it was difficult to exaggerate their absurdity. Now, it is virtually impossible. The Babylon Bee can barely stay a half step ahead of them.

But wait, the story has a happy ending. Weather forced Patiha to find alternatives to prostitution:

Patiha launched a cake-making business that same year, employing three trans friends when orders stacked up. [He] also started making and selling [his] own perfume last December.

Now, [he] is free from the income-sapping vagaries of the rain clouds and strong winds.

Since the climate will fluctuate no matter what we do, we would be wise to adapt to changing conditions like Mr. Patiha. But leftists would rather use the pretense of being able to control the weather as a pretext to seize more power.

A totalitarian ideology like moonbattery is applied to everything, even fields that would seem completely unrelated to politics, like zoology and medicine.

The new purpose of studying the animal kingdom is to cherry-pick observations that can be used to support the narrative that sexual perversion is natural. Raquel García-Álvarez is a guide at the Sand Ridge Nature Center in suburban Chicago:

“Wildlife does not live within the context of us assigning them, ‘Oh, you’re gay, you’re straight.’ They show homosocial behavior because they use it to bond. It also just brings them joy,” said García-Álvarez, the policy and sustainability manager at the Forest Preserves of Cook County.

On a sunny September afternoon, about 20 community members embarked on the “Queerness of Nature Walk” at the South Holland nature preserve. Naturalists used plants and animals like geese to teach queer ecology…

Queerness (a.k.a. depravity) is the TOE of the liberal establishment.

Lanie Rambo, a Forest Preserve naturalist, … said there’s evidence that 1,500 animal species, from insects to mammals, engage in same-sex behavior.

If it’s good enough for animals, it’s good enough for us. You’re not an anthropocentrist are you?

These relations weren’t historically recognized largely due to homophobia, she said.

With homophobia vanquished, social engineers are free to subordinate the natural world to their unnatural ideology by asserting false equivalencies between human and animal behavior.

When applied to medicine, moonbattery crosses from absurd to nightmarish:

A society that would allow monsters like this to practice surgery is doomed. But no doubt there is a monkey somewhere with a hermaphroditic birth defect that can be exploited to prove that multiple-genital hybrids are natural.

As the Inflation Aggravation Act reminds us, there is no limit to how much money the federal government can waste on the imaginary climate crisis. Neither is there a limit to the level of tyranny the global warming hoax can be exploited to inflict. Ideologically deranged social engineers might decide that whole towns need to be moved:

The Department of Housing and Urban Development awarded the state [of Louisiana] $48.3 million in 2016 to resettle the [Jean Charles Choctaw Nation] tribe to higher ground, the first federally funded effort to move an entire community because of climate change. Officials saw a chance to create a model of wholesale voluntary relocation for a country that urgently needs to prepare for many more such projects.

“Urgently” because the hysterical prognostications of disastrously rising seas that we have been assailed with for decades might someday become accurate, according to the media — and not only in Louisiana, which is a gigantic swamp located in Hurricane Alley, largely below sea level, and which is losing land mass not because of nonexistent melting glaciers but because the state is sinking.

Relocation experts warn that climate resettlement in the U.S. will fall far short without … far more money … and greater sensitivity to the needs of communities affected by the United States’ long history of forced relocation and racism. Those are often the places most threatened by the climate crisis.

As we have been told, climate fluctuation — which has existed as long as the planet has — is racist.

Is global warming really responsible for the shrinking of Isle de Jean Charles? Only partially — and theoretically. But fossil fuels are allegedly involved, and everyone knows that fossil fuels and climate change are practically the same thing:

This loss was caused both by global warming and local oil and gas development. Dredging canals for fossil fuel infrastructure near the island undermined the land and hastened its descent into the Gulf, researchers say. Climate change on its own would have caused the island to disappear more slowly by sending more frequent and worse storms and increasing sea levels.

“Would have” is theoretical musing, not journalism. Virtually all reporting on this topic makes heavy use of terms like “would have,” “might conceivably,” et cetera. As noted in the context of climate change supposedly causing megafloods and pudgy children,

“Could” is the operative word in liberal media stories about the weather.

If all goes well with Isle de Jean Charles, future wholesale relocations will be less voluntary. Not everyone is on board with the liberal agenda. If most people believed in the global warming hoax, the hottest city in the USA would not recently have been named the fastest growing 5 years in a row.

A recent ruling in New York could constitute a setback on our road to utopia:

On July 8, 2022, Judge Ronald Ploetz ruled that the “Isolation and Quarantine Procedures” regulation is unconstitutional and “violative of New York State law as promulgated and enacted, and therefore null, void and unenforceable as a matter of law.”

This put the kibosh on detention camps planned by Governor Kathy Hochul (although Attorney General Letitia James is appealing the decision).

It is no good making arrangements to move whole cities because climate change, only so that a recalcitrant judge can rule that Big Government cannot tell us where we have to live. Democrats have another reason to use the TERM Act to take control of the Supreme Court.

The satellites we rely on for communication are offensive to aboriginal belief systems. The moonbats at Phys.org sound the alarm:

Since time immemorial, Indigenous peoples worldwide have observed, tracked and memorized all the visible objects in the night sky.

This ancient star knowledge was meticulously ingrained with practical knowledge of the land, sky, waters, community and the Dreaming—and passed down through generations.

One of the most well-known and celebrated Aboriginal constellations is the Emu in the Sky, which appears in the southern sky early in the year. It is an example of a dark constellation, which means it’s characterized by particularly dark patches in the sky, rather than stars.

Conversely, space technology companies such as Starlink are increasingly competing to dominate the skies, and potentially change them forever.

By a remarkable coincidence, Starlink is run by SpaceX, which in turn is run by Elon Musk, who recently became a thought criminal by promising to bring free speech and transparency to Twitter. No doubt Musk has committed many more offenses against the marginalized that the media will expose in the coming months.

The modern-day space race has led to thousands of satellites being scattered through Earth’s outer orbits. If left unchallenged, these companies risk overpopulating an already crowded space environment—potentially pushing dark skies to extinction.

Starlink has already launched 1,700 satellites and plans 30,000 more over the next 10 years. They will provide improved Internet access across the world.

But even if they deliver on this, sky gazers—and especially Indigenous peoples—are left to wonder: at what cost?

A science publication piously complains that satellites providing advanced communication offend savages by lighting up the darkness. Nothing could be more emblematic of moonbattery’s effect on everything it infects.

From the liberal point of view, communication satellites are emblematic of the problematicness of civilization. Brace for a lecture:

Desecrating the sky impacts Indigenous sovereignty as it limits access to their knowledge system, in the same ways desecrating the land has removed First Peoples from their countries, cultures and ways of life. …

Indigenous histories teach us about the devastating consequences of colonialism, and how the impacts of the colonial agenda can be mitigated through prioritizing the health of country and community.

In the words of astronomer Aparna Venkatesan and colleagues: “…the manner and pace of ‘occupying’ near-Earth space raise the risk of repeating the mistakes of colonization on a cosmic scale.”

Just by using the Internet, you are participating in the colonization of near-Earth space at the expense of indigenous belief systems. Feel guilty!

Christians are relentlessly mocked for their faith. But savage beliefs are catered to obsequiously. Expect liberal authorities to signal their virtue by imposing an indigenous religion preservation tax on satellites.
