Global warming doctrine must terrify those who believe in it, but the ideologically compliant can take solace in one mitigating factor; though utter doom is impending, it never gets any closer. Sometimes it even gets farther away:

A team of scientists have been closely monitoring the Thwaites — or “Doomsday” — glacier in Antarctica since 2018.

They say the outlook for our imperiled planet is “grim.”

Should it melt, the icy mass contains so much water that it could single-handedly raise global sea levels by over two feet — hence its foreboding moniker.

Fortunately, as with the apocalyptic horrors Al Gore promised would happen by now, doom has been mysteriously delayed.

The fear was that the glacier could be gone by the end of this century. Now, it’s looking like that won’t happen until the 23rd century.

So what if the high priests of the climate cult were off by a couple hundred years? AccuWeather isn’t even sure about the weather tomorrow.

If warming isn’t mitigated, the melting of the Thwaites could trigger a broader collapse of the entire Antarctic Ice Sheet, which would practically drown the planet by raising sea levels by over ten feet.

Hey, you just said 2 feet! Biden/Harris inflation must affect even global warming hysteria.

The cult offers hope of salvation. Elect Comrade Cackala, and she will surely mandate expensive inconveniences that according to leftist dogma will placate the melting glacier. In the meantime, the doomsday delay…

…does give us a longer window to get our act together and drastically curtail greenhouse gas emissions, the scientists said.

As we learned during Covid, when the Scientists have scolded us on behalf of our moonbat rulers, we have no choice but to obey.

One way you know that the global warming hoax is a lie is that liberals have no interest in generating electricity by means that do not generate supposedly harmful carbon emissions unless these means are unreliable and economically insane, like wind and solar. Nuclear and hydroelectric, they suppress. When they tell you dams must be destroyed so as not to oppress fish, they are lying once again:

Moonbats shriek that Vladimir Putin is a clear and present danger. When he starts blowing up our hydroelectric dams, I’ll believe them.

No need to wait for Kamala Harris to become the official rather than presumed president. Race-based reparations are already well underway:

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced it was giving a private, historically black university in New Orleans a $19.9 million grant, some of which will be used to buy electric bikes for 300 families.

The bicycles cost up to $1,800 each.

Dillard University will get the $19 million federal grant and the city of New Orleans will get a $50 million federal grant to combat a “climate crisis.”

New Orleans qualifies for the handout because it is, as Ray Nagin famously proclaimed, a chocolate city.

The imaginary crisis cannot be resolved with free electric bikes alone:

Besides buying the electric bikes, the $19.9 million grant given to Dillard University will be used to expand bike-sharing programs, install electric vehicle chargers and having several building retrofit with solar and energy storage.

New Orleans will spend its $50 million federal grant on installing rooftop solar panels on 41 buildings, expanding its Blue Bikes share fleet, adding seven miles of bike paths and planting 7,500 trees in “underserved” neighborhoods.

“Underserved” is a Liberalese euphemism for “racially preferred.”

If temperatures come down as autumn approaches, thank the federal government for spending your money so wisely.

The key when it comes to proselytizing on behalf of the global warming cult is to find potential recruits gullible enough to swallow climate doctrine. The Biden/Harris Regime wisely focuses on kindergarteners:

NASA’s “Climate Kids” webpage offers fun environment-related educational activities, films, and video games for children in kindergarten. It also warns children that the world is undergoing cataclysmic warming, sea levels are rising, global ice coverage is diminishing, and their future may very well be doomed.

In former times, NASA put us on the moon. But then it was repurposed by moonbats.

Climate Kids proclaims that the cost of fossil fuels is “pollution, the destruction of landscapes and natural habitats, oil spills in the ocean, and nasty fracking chemicals in the ground,” while the “biggest problem of all” is global warming. The website separately shows an image of what it says may soon occur to the United States’ Eastern Seaboard: a calamitous sea level rise covering entire cities, including New Orleans and Miami.

Get them when they are young enough and hysterical lies can be baked into their conception of reality. The objective is to instill “ecoanxiety,” a form of neurosis that can be exploited to advance leftist political objectives.

Now that US cities are doomed to a watery grave, will UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres give us other people’s money? No, because we are the ones leftists redistribute from.

On a tip from ABC of the ANC.

Just in case anyone didn’t get it yet that the global warming hoax is an international looting spree, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres makes it clear:

Guterres issued a global SOS – “Save Our Seas” – from the Pacific Island nation of Tonga on Tuesday with a plea to the world to “massively increase finance and support for vulnerable countries” in grave danger of the human-caused climate crisis.

By human-caused, he means that fluctuations in temperature and sea level, which never happened in Earth’s 4.5-billion-year history until Al Gore discovered them, are caused by those who live in countries that are not too dysfunctional to have wealth to be expropriated. You are guilty, so you must pay.

Screeches Chicken Little:

“Rising seas are a crisis entirely of humanity’s making. A crisis that will soon swell to an almost unimaginable scale [yadda yadda yadda].”

It isn’t just melting glaciers; the seas are rising because the water is too warm:

Sea surface temperatures in the Southwest Pacific have risen three times faster than the global average since 1980, according to the World Meteorological Organization’s State of the Climate. …

Oceans have absorbed 90% of global heating, caused by humans burning fossil fuels that release heat-trapping pollution, the report said.

This ocean heating is boosting sea level rise, as water expands when it heats…

Meanwhile, climate cult clergy struggles to find the correct spin on the Atlantic Ocean cooling.

On tips from Lyle and ABC of the ANC.

To judge from Democrat/MSM rhetoric, it is surprising that the seas have not boiled away by now as a consequence of our hesitation to abandon our freedom and standard of living by submitting to the leftist climate agenda. Yet outside the bubble of propaganda inhabited by liberals, the Atlantic has been cooling.

Confesses a hysterical proponent of the global warming hoax:

The Atlantic Ocean is cooling at an exponential rate, and nobody is sure why. It’s been more than a year of record-high global sea temperatures, including being close to the collapse of the AMOC. Despite those troubles, though, the Atlantic is now experiencing something quite baffling—temperatures are cooling, and scientists are scrambling to figure out what’s going on.

This is especially challenging because The Experts need to explain it in a way that does not threaten their government grants by disputing the Democrat climate narrative.

Never mind; climate scold and WaPo owner Jeff Bezos just bought his fourth private jet. No doubt the emissions will warm the ocean back up again.

Banning plastic forks isn’t the only means Democrats have of perfecting the weather. They also advise us to wear used clothing. This works so well that it allows them to live large without worrying about endangering the climate. Take congresscritter Chellie Pingree (D-ME):

According to an investigation by the Maine Wire, Pingree, who prides herself on fighting climate change, was responsible for roughly 15.98 metric tons of emissions.

That’s not counting the emissions from trips on private jets.

Despite recently telling Americans to wear hand-me-downs in a social media video, Pingree jetted to locations including Japan, Norway, Italy and Germany.

Pingree has expensed over $100,000 for travel, leaving others to pick up the tab. This benefits the planet, because if we were allowed to spend our own money instead of Pingree spending it for us, we might buy ourselves new clothes, which would make it be too warm outside.

On a tip from WDS 2.0.

It has been another hot summer here in Phoenix. Next summer will be cooler though — because the Biden Regime has banned plastic forks:

The Biden administration announced it is launching a plan to “phase out” the “procurement of single-use plastics from food service operations, events and packaging by 2027, and from all federal operations by 2035,” according to the White House.

The ambitious decree targets more than plastic forks:

The plastic includes “plastic and polystyrene food and beverage containers, bottles, straws, cups, cutlery and disposable plastic bags.” …

The US government is one of the largest consumers of goods because of how many people it employs.

Banning plastics will raise costs and hurt the plastics industry. But it will be worth it because the ban will supposedly fix the weather.

Tempting as it is to burst out laughing at the silliness of climate ideology, there is an alarming aspect. A population witless enough to be convinced that plastic forks make it be too warm outside might even be convinced to vote for Harris/Walz.

Once people realize the crap sandwich doesn’t taste so good, it needs to be renamed. That’s why progressivism is now “liberalism.” Likewise, corporate moonbattery, previously known as “ESG” (environmental, social, governance), is now to be called “transition investing.”

As noted at American Thinker,

ESG as a buzzword really came to mainstream recognition after being vigorously promoted and spoken about by Larry Fink of BlackRock.

But now, as reported at Just the News,

The company recently updated its climate and decarbonization stewardship guidelines. The document makes no mention of ESG, but it shows in many ways, the world’s largest investment manager with $10 trillion in assets under management is still pursuing many of the same goals.

These pernicious not to mention unprofitable left-wing goals are now referred to as “transition investing.”

One of the main criticisms of ESG is that it pushes progressive policies through a process that circumnavigates elected officials and the courts. When investment firms require banks, for example, to meet certain ESG “sustainability goals,” capital in the market gets bound up with leftist political objectives through administrative rulemaking.

Farmers (and those of us who consume their products) are hard hit by climate cult kookiness insidiously imposed in the name of ESG through banks:

The Buckeye Institute, a free-market think tank, released a report earlier this year estimating the cost of compliance with net-zero emissions policies and corporate ESG reporting requirements on American farms. According to the report, farmers will see costs rise at least 34%, which will translate to annual grocery bills rising by 15%.

Thankfully,

The ESG movement has received a lot of pushback over the past couple of years from state legislatures and Congress.

So Larry Fink won’t say “ESG” anymore. He’ll just call it something else. That makes it harder to pass laws against.

The worst may be yet to come:

Would farmers be forced to buy battery-powered farm equipment? Prohibited from using oil or gas for fuel? Mandated to plant GMO seed exclusively and forced to use Big Pharma’s pesticides and herbicides? Could “sustainability” mean land “reforms” for the sake of “reparations” and “justice?”

“Transition investing” begs an ominous question. Transition to what?

Bill Gates would never make it as a Bond villain or even an Austin Powers villain. He is too cartoonishly evil. Now he wants to “eliminate” farmers by feeding the public synthetic butter made out of pollution:

Gates is funding a new startup with produces fake “butter” that doesn’t require dairy cows or the crops needed for margarine.

Instead, Gates says his “butter” is made from “vegan” fat which is produced from chemicals.

Gates-backed startup Savor produces this fat from “emissions” captured from fossil fuel burnings and gas-powered vehicles.

The stated purpose as usual is to prevent the climate from continuing to fluctuate the way it always has and always will.

Let them eat lentils. Let them drink cockroach milk. Let them drink maggot milk. Let them eat beetleburgers. Let them eat crickets. Let them eat grass. Let them eat maggot butter. Let them eat mealworms. Let them eat plastic trash. Let them eat weeds. Let them eat wind turbine blades. Let them eat worm dogs. Let them eat synthetic pseudofood. Let them eat larvae. Let them eat pollution butter.

Cultural Marxism/Critical Race Theory/DEI/moonbattery is a totalitarian ideology. Despite its cramped narrowness, everything imaginable is shoehorned into it. For example, allegedly human-caused drying of the Great Salt Lake in overwhelmingly Caucasian Utah is further evidence not only in support of the global warming hoax but also that politically favored BIPOCs are oppressed.

From an actual scientific abstract:

Lake desiccation is a global problem associated with increased human water use and climate change.

As with all things related to the natural world, humans have caused devastation with their greedy insistence on utilizing resources and their hesitation to submit to sufficiently suffocating government.

Like other drying lakes, Utah’s Great Salt Lake (GSL) is producing health-harming dust.

As with all things related to anything, put-upon BIPOCs are hardest hit:

We estimate social disparities in dust fine particulate matter (PM_2.5) exposures…

Experts can find social disparities anywhere. They just have to look hard enough. Government grants help provide motivation.

Dust PM_2.5 exposures would increase as GSL levels drop (e.g., from 24.0 μg m⁻³ to 32.0 μg m⁻³). People of color and those with no high school diploma would experience disproportionately higher exposures…

The Great Salt Lake water level is all about social justice:

Racial/ethnic disparities would be reduced if GSL water levels rose.

Conclusions: Whites are privileged, nonwhites are oppressed. That’s all you need to know on any topic whatsoever.

There is nothing insatiably greedy leftists won’t tax — including even farts:

Denmark farmers will soon have to pay an extra tax for their livestock’s farts — making it the first country to implement such a measure to target global warming-inducing methane emissions.

Leftist bureauweenies literally expect people to believe that the weather will be nicer if they drive up food prices to punish farmers for their cows farting. Their contempt for those they rule over is infinite.

The gassy tax will apply to cows, sheep and pigs starting in 2030.

Before long the tax will apply to all creatures that fart, including people. According to moonbat doctrine, the main culprit in climate change is CO2, so any creature that breathes will be taxed for that too.

Barack Obama was a pioneer at monetizing the global warming hoax by using otherwise largely useless green energy boondoggles to launder taxpayer money and pay off campaign donors. In his third term, the graft has gone so far over the top that even Associated Press can’t help but notice it:

Executives, officials and major investors in First Solar, the largest domestic maker of solar panels, donated at least $2 million to Democrats in 2020, including $1.5 million to Biden’s successful bid for the White House. After he won, the company spent $2.8 million more lobbying his administration and Congress, records show — an effort that included high-level meetings with top administration officials.

First Solar is not likely to produce much energy, but it knows how to get a return on investment.

First Solar became perhaps the biggest beneficiary of an estimated $1 trillion in environmental spending enacted under the Inflation Reduction Act, a major piece of legislation Biden signed into law in 2022 after it cleared Congress solely with Democratic votes.

A party arrogant enough to call an inflationary wasteful spending spree the “Inflation Reduction Act” won’t shy from open corruption at taxpayer expense in the name of the phony green energy transition.

Since then, First Solar’s stock price has doubled and its profits have soared thanks to new federal subsidies that could be worth as much as $10 billion over a decade. The success has also delivered a massive windfall to a small group of Democratic donors who invested heavily in the company.

The money is extracted from the American people via taxation and inflation. The Global Warming Hoax is a looting spree. Democrat rule is intolerable.

Leftists want us to use solar panels instead of more efficient means of generating electricity so as to please the climate. For the same insane reason, they also want to blot out the sun:

Wealthy philanthropists with ties to Wall Street and Silicon Valley are unbowed by a botched climate experiment to limit the amount of sunlight hitting the earth, vowing to continue bankrolling future solar geoengineering tests…

A popular definition of “insanity” is “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” An even better definition would be “anything that smells like moonbattery.”

The grotesque horrors of “gender-affirming care” show us what attempts to bring biology into line with leftist ideology can do to people’s bodies. Next, they want to make planet Earth itself moonbattery-compliant.

[T]wo high-profile experiments were shutdown following public backlash, pointing to the challenges of conducting controversial research that could result in weather disruptions or other unintended consequences.

Yet big money moonbats continue to support Dr. Evil schemes to blot out the sun. Those involved have included the odious Pritzker clan through the scary-eyed moonbat Rachel Pritzker and her Pritzker Innovation Fund, as well as the still more sinister Bill Gates.
