Enjoying the view from Limbo
An item to whet your appetite on this fine Monday morning (Korean Time): A Swedish economist — I cannot emphasize strongly enough that he is not a “hard scientist” but a social scientist (i.e., a non-scientist) — speaking during a panel discussion on cannibalism, argued that consuming dead human bodies might be an effective way to combat climate change, and that nothing but...
The mayor of South Bend, Indiana, Pete Buttigieg, who is currently competing somewhere in the middle of the pack of lies that is the Democratic presidential nomination process, says that if you have used a plastic straw or eaten a hamburger, you are “part of the problem.” Specifically, a CNN bimbo who wears grown-up glasses for that “serious look” — the kind they...
Mike Lee, Republican senator from Utah, gave a speech prior to the Senate vote on the Democrats’ “Green New Deal,” in which he promised to give the proposal “the respect it deserved,” and then proceeded to invoke Aquaman and giant sea horses as the most feasible means of realizing its absurd goals. In response, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the House of Representatives’ female approximation of...
MSN reposted a short article about polar bears. The article is named “On Thin Ice.” It says that global warming puts polar bears at risk. The article is written in simple sentences. This is so that public school children and Donald Trump can read it. Here is the main content of the article: Polar bears live in the Arctic. They spend their days...
The latest U.S. National Climate Assessment was released a few days ago, which is an odd thing to be saying, in light of the fact that if any of the previous such assessments had had any scientific legitimacy, we probably wouldn’t be here today talking about climate at all. We’d be off somewhere evolving gills by now. In any case, the 2018 NCA...
CNN was innocently hosting another ho-hum on-air hot-air panel discussion of climate change, when all of a sudden Rick Santorum committed the ultimate faux pas on this issue, namely floating the possibility that the “climate scientists” whose work is used to promote global socialist “climate solutions” may not actually be motivated by the love of truth. That is, Santorum noted that these experts...
A Category 4 hurricane has hit Florida. This, like all weather of any kind, is being reported in the mass media, and filtered through the minds of ordinary people everywhere, as an unprecedented, unthinkable, ominous event, and surely all the evidence you need, if you’re not just a pig-headed capitalist big-oil-owned monster, that anthropogenic climate change is REAL! As ABC News reports (to...
Oh, dear, it’s happening again. Just when you’re sure your relatively moderate climate, having reached the official first full day of spring, is headed for warmth and flowers from here on out as usual, along comes that dastardly global warming…er, cooling…um, I mean “climate change” — yes, that’s it, “change”! — to set you right back to February. Come on Al, pitch your...
On January 10th, global warming delivered an ominous message to the south coast of Korea: a rare snowstorm. This fall and winter have been colder than normal — evidence, as we all know, that the planet is getting warmer; and the sudden snowfall in a region that sees such events only once every few years only highlights just how much warmer it is....
Joseph Conrad said that “women, children, and revolutionaries hate irony, which is the negation of all saving instincts, of all faith, of all devotion, of all actions.” To challenge Conrad’s broad judgment of women and children (“Wasn’t the juvenile Jane Austen a most clever ironist?”) is perhaps to prove his point: One mark of a “true believer” is his inability to take a joke...
