Germans Told to Reduce Meat Consumption by >90%

Nazi rule could not have been pleasant, but at least Germans were allowed to eat food when it was available. This will not be the case under envirofascists, according to whom a normal human diet offends the climate:

The German Nutrition Society (DGE) now recommends reducing meat consumption to 10 grams per day per person to combat global warming. … A sudden and radical renunciation: The average meat consumption of Germans is 109 grams per day, or about 763 grams per week. The population will therefore have to drastically change its eating behavior if it agrees to comply with this new strategy.

In the near future, Oktoberfest will feature celery sticks instead of brats — unless moonbats decide that eating plants oppresses them. By the way, brewing beer is also environmentally problematic.

Windshield Wiper Fluid Denounced as Offensive to Planet

If it is worth having, moonbats will take it away from you in the name of their totalitarian ideology. This applies not only big things like cars, stoves, air conditioners, refrigerators, dishwashers, washers and driers, natural gas, and even essentials required to keep us alive like electricity and food, but to every other aspect of everyday life, including even windshield washer fluid:

A research study reveals that alcohols from windshield washer fluid contribute more significantly to vehicle emissions than previously thought. This holds true even with the increased adoption of electric vehicles, suggesting the need for future regulatory policies to address such non-fuel-derived pollutants.

No doubt bureauweenies will approve some less effective version of windshield wiper fluid acceptable to envirofascists. It will freeze when the weather turns cold, but think how much happier the planet will be when people are no longer allowed to offend it by keeping their windshields clean.

Electric Vehicles Oppress Deep Sea Creatures

First, they tell us that we must drive costly, unreliable, dangerous, and inefficient electric cars because fossil fuels are offensive to the climate. Then they tell us that electric cars are offensive to the ocean because that’s where we will have to mine the massive materials requirements. Chides WaPo:

To manufacture electric vehicles, batteries and other key pieces of a low-carbon economy, we need a lot of metal. Countries and companies are increasingly looking to mine that copper, cobalt and other critical minerals from the seafloor.

A new analysis of the Clarion-Clipperton Zone, a vast mineral-rich area in the Pacific Ocean, estimates there are some 5,000 sea animals completely new to science there. The research published Thursday in the journal Current Biology is the latest sign that underwater extraction may come at a cost to a diverse array of life we are only beginning to understand.

They would let us ride mules, except animals offend the climate by farting. So it looks like we will have to walk.

RFK Jr Wants to Ban Fertilizer

It is not as if the Democratic Party offers no alternative to the corrupt and senile Joe Biden, who is so beholden to radical leftists that he is trying to price electricity beyond the reach of normal Americans. Their next most popular 2024 candidate, Robert Kennedy, is polling at 19% among Democrat primary voters. RFK Jr thinks big too; he wants to ban fertilizer:

Biden and RFK Jr agree that food is bad, and the federal government should prevent us from producing it, because environmental radicalism.

Too bad RFK Jr can’t take credit for originality. Banning fertilizer in the name of envirofascism was already tried by Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa, who attempted to inflict all-organic farming. Fortunately, Rajapaksa was forcibly removed from power before mass starvation set in.

Gas Stove Ban Back On and Here’s Why

When Biden’s hordes of deep state bureauweenies moved to ban gas stoves in the erstwhile Land of the Free, pushback was so adamant that the regime seemed to back off — but only until we stopped paying attention. A ban is back on:

Half of gas stove models sold in the United States today won’t comply with a first-ever efficiency regulation on cooking appliances, according to a new analysis from the Department of Energy. …

That means roughly half the gas stove models purchased across the U.S. today will no longer be eligible for purchase in stores.

They will come for the other half of gas stoves soon afterward.

As Competitive Enterprise Institute efficiency expert Ben Lieberman observes,

“This is a big part of the climate agenda … this effort to stop the use of natural gas.”

Natural gas burns cleanly. It is plentiful, cheap, reliable, and domestically produced. Democrats have openly stated their intention to abolish it along with the rest of the fossil fuels that comprise the lifeblood of any modern economy.

Not everything Democrats do can be attributed to their trademark insanity and malice. They have another distinguishing characteristic — namely, corruption:

The founders of Rewiring America, an environmental advocacy dark money group behind the push to regulate and ban natural gas-powered stoves, have a significant financial stake in the green energy push.

Alex Laskey, Saul Griffith and Ari Matusiak – who together founded Rewiring America in 2020 – have all pursued various wind, solar, electrification and energy efficiency ventures, some of which have netted them millions of dollars in buyouts or received significant federal funding. The three co-founders have simultaneously advocated for policies benefiting those ventures through the nonprofit.

Barack Obama pioneered the use of green energy moonbattery to launder $billions in taxpayer funds to pay off campaign donors. As with his political weaponization of the federal bureaucracy, the practice continues under his idiot understudy Joe Biden.

“It’s a shocking amount of money that they’re hauling in with this scheme of theirs,” Tom Pyle, the president of the Institute for Energy Research, told Fox News Digital in an interview. “I call it Big Green Inc. It is literally a business for these guys and they cloak themselves in the mantra of trying to save the planet. But, really, this is just very sophisticated self-dealing.”

Not even Democrats are delusional enough to think the planet will know the difference if they ban our stoves.

Although Rewiring America has an increasingly more prominent role guiding policies at the state and federal level – it notably had a presence at a Dec. 14 electrification summit and at an event celebrating the Inflation Reduction Act, both at the White House – the group’s donors are shielded from public view. The group doesn’t file federal tax forms since it is sponsored by the Windward Fund, a nonprofit that is part of the billion-dollar dark money network managed by the Washington, D.C.-based Arabella Advisors.

When we allowed the federal government to become so bloated and intrusive that it presumes to tell us what kind of stoves we can use, we made it inevitable that tyranny would be leveraged for corrupt selfish interests.

Reusable Toilet Paper

To be a good person, you have to do good works. That does not mean anthropocentrically attempting to improve the human condition, because humans are a cancer. You have to do symbolic works that accomplish nothing other than to make a pageant out of your reverence for the environment. One way to prove you are a good person is to reuse your toilet paper:

One woman on TikTok revealed that she makes reusable toilet paper out of old pajamas, all in the sake of having what she calls a “low-waste” home.

The used squares of flannel go in the washing machine, where the bacteria can spread to clothing, dish towels, et cetera.

It isn’t just one lone kook doing this:

There are pros and cons to using reusable toilet paper, according to Healthline. On one hand, there are concerns when it comes to handling the cloth after it’s used, as E. coli, a bacteria that can cause diarrhea and fever, can be a worry. …

But, according to the outlet, benefits include reducing pollution and that it can be gentler on the skin — not to mention, it’s easy to make.

We can laugh for now, because the Biden Regime has not yet showcased its green virtue by making reusable toilet paper mandatory by executive order or EPA deep state regulatory decree.

Green Energy Plant Has Spewed Toxic Smoke for a Week

East Palestine, Ohio isn’t the only ecological disaster the liberal establishment would prefer to ignore. There is also the “green energy” plant that has been burning for the past week:

A fire at a Doral, Florida waste-to-energy plant continued burning as officials announced school dismissal plans, closed parks, and urged residents to stay indoors, multiple outlets reported. …

“Out of an abundance of caution. . .we’re recommending that all residents [in the immediate area] remain indoors today,” Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said in a multi-agency press conference Friday. Levine Cava emphasized that people with respiratory conditions, older adults, young children, and expectant mothers should be particularly cautious.

High measures of particulates have been measured in the air.

The fire at Doral’s trash incinerator broke out on Sunday, February 12, according county officials. …

The 40-year-old Covanta Energy plant burns more than 800,000 tons of garbage annually and handles about 40% of Miami-Dade County’s garbage…

The garbage must be piling up uncontrollably. What could be more emblematic of current times?

“The key message to the community with regard to safety and keeping people well is avoidance of the smoke wherever possible,” said Jackson Memorial Hospital chief medical officer Hany Atallah…

That advice would also apply to East Palestine, where the smoke was deliberately created in a controlled burn of toxic chemicals spilled in a train derailment. State Senator Michael Rulli urges those stuck within 10 miles of the catastrophe not to drink or bathe in the water.

Meanwhile, the bumbling green fascists in charge tell us they have to micromanage our lives and fling hundreds of $billions at alternative energy boondoggles because according to their ideology it will serve the sacred environment by preventing the climate from fluctuating.

Song Delilah Canceled

Word by word, show by show, hero by hero, and song by song, moonbat social engineers will eradicate every trace of our culture so they can replace it with transsexual BIPOC children performing sick sexual acts in a schoolroom. The latest item to be erased is the classic song “Delilah” recorded by Welsh singer Tom Jones:

While the Welsh Rugby Union removed Delilah from its half-time entertainment and music playlist during international matches in 2015, while also requesting guest choirs not to sing it more recently, the ballad has now been officially removed from choirs’ playlists.

The song, released in 1968 when it reached No. 2 in the charts, is about a jealous lover stabbing his unfaithful partner. One line reads: “I crossed the street to her house and she opened the door; she stood there laughing, I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more.”

The ban of the song, one of Sir Tom’s best-known hits, comes at a time of great change of review at the WRU in the wake of damning sexism, misogyny and racism allegations, which prompted the resignation of chief executive Steve Phillips and the promise of an external taskforce to review the governing body’s culture and behaviours.

Maybe now that a beloved song has been banned, the woke mob will no longer be thirsty for blood. Maybe progressives will realize they have inflicted enough cultural damage and leave other people alone. Maybe I will flap my arms and fly to the moon.

In contrast to the rap garbage rammed down our throats by the liberal establishment, the lyrics to Delilah hardly glorify violence:

The song tells the story of a man who passes his girlfriend’s window and sees her inside making love to another man. He waits outside all night, and then confronts her in the morning, only to have her laugh in his face. He stabs her to death, and then waits for the police to come break down the door and arrest him. The lyrics unfold from the killer’s point of view, and are filled with his, often contradictory, emotions. He speaks of Delilah in possessive terms, but also refers to himself as her “slave.” He asks his dead girlfriend to “forgive” him, but still clearly sees himself as having been wronged by her.

That’s too complicated for our moonbat overlords, who insist we adhere to a simplistic narrative of oppressed and oppressor identity groups.

Alexander Solzhenitsyn became an expert on moonbattery after watching it play out in Russia. He posthumously weighs in on the cancelation of Delilah:

“To destroy a people, you must first sever their roots.”

Fans are encouraged to enjoy Delilah before it disappears completely down the memory hole:

French Moonbats Save Planet With Pocket Forests

It was worrisome when Al Gore informed us from Davos that the oceans are boiling. But everything is going to be all right. A solution to climate change has been implemented:

French volunteers are using a pioneering Japanese tree-planting method to create pocket forests in Paris in the hope they will slow climate change, create biodiversity hotspots and tackle the growing number of heatwaves in the capital.

It isn’t easy work, saving the world from doom:

French non-profit Boomforest has organised a tree-planting initiative, drawing a dozen volunteers of all ages, clad in beanies and boots as they brave the cold and rain.

Presenting a portrait in climate righteousness:

Maxim Timothée, 31, was happy to be outdoors and was motivated by the simple, symbolic act of planting a tree.

Symbolic acts are all-important with moonbats. Even they understand at some level that their posturing will have zero effect on the weather. But only their intentions matter.

“It does feel really special to plant a tree,” he said, taking a brief pause from cutting into the damp clay. “It’s not just an object. I feel connected to the life of this tree. I want to protect it. I planted it.”

See? What do we need babies for?

The trees are being planted close together. A moonbat named Guillaume Dozier explains why:

“They’ll give each other shade, and they’ll be able to exchange water, nutrients and information. If one of them is under attack, they’ll be able to warn the others.”

Noble climate warriors like Guillaume hold the future in their hands. Hopefully they will spend more time planting urban pocket forests where rats and vagrants can nest and less time lobbying for repressive regulations.

Let Them Eat Beetleburgers

Our moonbat overlords have decided that we must not eat food because agriculture offends the climate. But they are generous rulers, who provide us with a wide variety of alternatives, including cockroach milk, maggot butter, weeds, synthetic pseudofood, plastic trash, lentils, grass, crickets, larvae, wind turbine blades — and even beetleburgers:

Beetleburgers could soon be helping to feed the world, according to new research. The creepy crawlers’ larvae — better known as mealworms — could act as a meat alternative… The process uses a fraction of the land and water and emits a smaller carbon footprint in comparison of traditional farming.

CO2 makes plants grow. Unfortunately, this precious nutrient is regarded as haram in the moonbat religion. It offends the weather gods.

French biotech company Ynsect is planning a global network of insect farms, including nurseries and slaughterhouses.

No doubt plenty of government funding goes into the pockets of companies that make food alternatives, as with inefficient but politically correct energy alternatives. Big Government even pays farmers to stop farming by buying up their land with public money. Again, our rulers are generous.

Tenebrio molitor beetle larvae … can be turned into protein powders, shakes, burgers, cereal bars, and even cooking oils at a fraction of the environmental cost of traditional farming.

You don’t hate the environment, do you? Then shut up and eat the bugs.

Jane Goodall on Need to Reduce Human Population

Mating with short people may make New York Times readers feel righteous, but the social engineers of the World Economic Forum warn that more must be done to cut the human race down to a size that suits the Liberal World Order. Watch in horror as famous primatologist and anthropologist Jane Goodall (formerly known as Baroness Jane van Lawick-Goodall) asserts the necessity of reducing the human population to what it was 500 years ago:

The world population for the year 1500 was an estimated 450 million. Thanks to capitalism and the technological breakthroughs it enabled in agriculture and medicine, we are now up to 8 billion.

The WEF is working on what to do with the excess 7.5 billion. Expect attacks on agriculture and medicine to escalate.

NY Times: Mate With Short People to Please the Planet

Like Satan, our moonbat overlords want to reduce the stature of the human race. At the flagship publication of the liberal establishment, that can be taken literally:

A New York Times guest opinion column published on Sunday claimed that mating with “shorter people” is a “step toward a greener planet” since smaller individuals are “inherent conservationists.”

The essay by writer Mara Altman, titled “There Has Never Been a Better Time to Be Short,” argued that people of shorter stature live longer and are “better” for the planet because they use fewer resources.

This is what passes for sophisticated thought among today’s human-hating intelligentsia:

“Short people don’t just save resources, but as resources become scarcer because of the earth’s growing population and global warming, they may also be best suited for long-term survival (and not just because more of us will be able to jam into spaceships when we are forced off this planet we wrecked),” the essay continued.

Charging your Tesla six times a day is passé. Here’s how to really prove your fashionable devotion to earth worship:

“When you mate with shorter people, you’re potentially saving the planet by shrinking the needs of subsequent generations. Lowering the height minimum for prospective partners on your dating profile is a step toward a greener planet,” the article claimed.

You thought tax money showered upon the National Endowment for the Arts is cash down a rathole? Wrong. Art can save the planet:

The article referenced lecturer and artist Arne Hendriks, who “uses performance and exhibitions to encourage people to embrace fewer inches.” According to Altman’s piece, Hendriks does not allow his children to consume dairy and limits sugar to keep them from getting tall.

If only NEA funding went to Child Protective Services instead.

Twitter users relentlessly mocked the article for attributing height to climate change.

If we hate our own existence enough, we can shrink away to nothing. Then the weather will be perfect forever.

This song is a crime against the climate.

Abortion Meets Environmentalism in Spending Blowout

A small fraction of the 2023 omnibus spending bill constitutes justifiable expenses. Most of it is preposterous waste. The rest is worse than wasteful. It is evil:

Several Republican figures, including [Rep. Dan] Bishop [R-NC], criticized the 4,200-page bill as more wasteful spending from the federal government passed without any clear knowledge of what’s in the text.

Other Republicans have actually voted to drive inflation further into the stratosphere by voting in support of this looting spree.

Bishop documented many of the examples from his Twitter account, including over half a billion dollars into “reproductive health” in places that could threaten endangered species.

“Reproductive health” is an Orwellian euphemism for preventing reproduction through the antithesis of health, namely, death by abortion.

“On a more sinister note, here’s at least $575 million for ‘family planning’ in areas where population growth ‘threatens biodiversity.’ Malthusianism is a disturbing, anti-human ideology that should have ZERO place in any federal program,” Bishop tweeted.

It should have zero place outside of an insane asylum.

Progressives always progress. You thought that nothing could be more evil than killing a child for being inconvenient? Try killing children out of explicit hostility to the human race.

No wonder The Exorcist was set in DC.

Where liberals will take their agenda from here, only Satan could imagine. All we can know is that we will be forced to finance it.

Time: Makeshift Border Defense Offends the Environment

If not stopped quickly, the full-scale invasion taking place across the southern border will obliterate America and replace it with a very different nation, populated by very different people who do not share our heritage or values. That’s why the anti-American ruling class has created the border crisis and propagandizes to keep it going. The establishment organ Time even tells us that building a wall to defend what’s left of our country would offend the environment:

As Arizona governor Doug Ducey’s term draws to a close, he’s rushing to cement his legacy: a bunch of battered, rusty shipping containers. Since Oct. 24, crews have double-stacked 900 of the metal boxes at the Arizona-Mexico border to create a 17 ft.-high barrier, with sheet metal welded between them. The aim is to cover a 10 mile stretch, with up to 3,000 containers, before Ducey’s Jan. 5 departure from office.

This is a pathetic attempt to defend a country with the most expensive military in the history of the world, but anything is better than nothing. Our treasonous Commander in Chief refuses to stop the invasion that he has invited. Already well over 5.5 million illegal aliens have invaded just since Biden was installed in power 2 years ago.

The Democrat Party believes that importing a massive underclass likely to depend on government handouts for generations will dilute the vote of Americans sufficiently to guarantee single party rule.

According to Time, we should ignore our impending demise and focus on the environment.

This corner of southwestern Arizona is one of the most wildlife-rich parts of the U.S., home to mountain lions, javelinas, black bears, and visiting jaguars and ocelots. All these animals roam back and forth across the U.S.-Mexico border to find food, water, and mates. Researchers report that wildlife cameras set up near the container wall have already captured coyotes and foxes unsuccessfully trying to cross it. Conservation advocates say the wall is a threat to those species’ survival and reproduction.

Because Time is a liberal publication, you knew the global warming hoax would make an appearance. Here it comes:

“Climate change will turbo-charge that threat. As global warming alters conditions in animals’ existing habitats, scientists say the biggest mass migration of animals since the Ice Age is getting underway.

Coincidentally, the Experts say that our southern border “may be one of the worst international borders on the planet along which to build such a wall.”

Don’t worry, moonbats. When Katie Hobbs takes power as Governor of Arizona, she will cooperate with the Biden Regime to ensure that we do not have even makeshift defense from invasion. The Regime is already suing to have the boxes removed, so as to facilitate our displacement by grasping foreigners from every corner of the world.

Those who really do care about the environment may be interested to know that the invasion is wreaking havoc on it (see here, here, here, etc.).
