Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | THE MORNING RANT: Missed Climate Deadlines, and Other Green NonsenseIn 1989, the United Nations warned that “entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend is not reversed by the year 2000.” It was 23 years ago that entire nations were supposed to have been “wiped off the face of the Earth,” yet somehow the climate clowns at the UN are not laughed at when they continue to make similar predictions with revised deadlines. I could do this all day, so just one more missed prediction, this one from The Weather Channel, warning us in 2017 that there were only three years left “to save the planet from climate disaster.” That deadline passed three years ago. The prophets of climate doom are every bit as nonsensical as a street corner prophet of doom, yet somehow the climate cult has become the most powerful church in the world, and for one to doubt the pronouncements of its high priests is considered heresy, and worthy of excommunication from society. The comical doomsday predictions just keep coming. From just three months ago, here is the Washington Post amplifying the UN’s latest warning that the “world is on brink of catastrophic warming.” The company behind plans to build Britain’s largest solar farm is facing questions about alleged links to forced labour in China amid claims that it offered inducements to a local MP to back the scheme. In 2020, the Fire Department determined that 44 fires were caused by faulty e-bike batteries; in 2021 there were 104. So far this year there have been 191.Those were bad. But this past week, there was an e-bike fire that was horrific. 4 Dead, 2 Critically Injured in NYC e-Bike Store Fire Four people were killed and two others left clinging to life when an explosive fire ripped through a Lower Manhattan e-bike store early Tuesday — and officials quickly determined the blaze was caused by a lithium-ion battery used to charge the bikes.Lithium-ion. I do not want any transportation device I ride in, or on, to have a lithium-ion battery, and I will never allow a vehicle with a lithium-ion battery in my garage.

As for the Weather Channel, I hated their climate alarmism, but I was really disappointed when they took the complete time display (including seconds) off their screen some years ago.

Wind farms are a way for the government to take over the energy industry, and then limit or direct its supply as they see fit. It's a move by tyrants to further exercise control over you.

It was 23 years ago that entire nations were supposed to have been “wiped off the face of the Earth,” yet somehow the climate clowns at the UN are not laughed at when they continue to make similar predictions with revised deadlines. -- It's worth noting that this is where the current constant drumbeat of "we only have 11 years left" came from.

So, the game plan is:
1) The Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant is damaged, resulting in a major radiation release. 2) Of course the Russians did it! You aren't going to question that, are you, traitor? 3) Some of the radioactive cloud floats over Poland. 4) NATO Article 5 is invoked, bringing NATO into the war. 5) World War Three.

The “Spotted Owl” looks like a Barred Owl to me, with some plumage differences.
A “Western Barred Owl” if you will. It is classified as a separate species. I’m not persuaded this is good science. I’m not even persuaded it is in danger from logging for that matter. They two subspecies may not mate, and the Barred Owl in any case will move in when the Spotted Owl moves out, supposedly. The “environmental movement” is a little bit long on communists and other assorted whack jobs. I’d rather live next door to a logger or a miner than a Sierra Club member. When I was young and idealistic, I thought I was doing a good deed by by being an “environmentalist”. This is the power of our education system and various types of media, and celebrities.

I work with a number of fire departments around the country and internationally including FDNY. There is no bigger concern for them right now than lithium ion batteries.
You want hear much about the problem on the news but it is a ginormous problem and even the solutions cause more problems. For example, a standard technique for dealing with EV fires is being adopted in Europe. It involves putting a burning EV in a dumpster and then filling the dumpster with water. It works, to a degree. But then there is the problem of where do you come up with thousands of specialized dumpsters that will be needed as the EV fleet grows, the front end loaders needed to push the cars into the dumpsters and most importantly what do you do with the thousands of gallons of water that have been contaminated from the burning batteries? This battery issue will be ignored until something really spectacularly bad happens. Then it will be "discovered". Posted by: JackStraw at June 23, 2023 11:28 AM (ZLI7S) 173

Ironically enough, Rockefeller and Standard Oil did far more to “Save The Whales!” than an entire army of dirty sandal wearing hippies selling crystals and mexican dirtweed could ever hope to.
Whale oil was the main fuel for illumination from lamps before Kerosene was marketed. Almost overnight the huge demand for whale oil dried up to a relative trickle. Cheaper, better, and doesn’t kill critters. Anybody talking shit about “fossil fuels” wants you dead. The really stupid ones don’t even realize it. That’s all there is to it.

Not one climate hysteria prediction has come true.
Not one climate model has accurately predicted the temperatures 5, 10, 15 or let alone 20 years on now from the initial calculations date. In fact, not even the UN climate report they all cite to says one word about all the doom and gloom-- in the science section. All the doom and gloom is solely in the summary, the preface, the non-science part. The science part goes, "assuming this, this, and this-- which we lack the data or even the computational processing capability-- then, it's possible these may or may not happen."

I like the idea of solar panels on roofs and we plan to get some when we build our metal shop building, but the solar farms are ecological disasters. Wind farms are, too, but the solar farms are hundreds of acres of death to any ecology that lived on that space. Even where there weren't trees, such as in deserts, the areas between and below the panels have to be kept clear. The sparkly blue expanse is only pretty for a moment and then you think about it.

The 427 in the Cobra also had to have a special sidedraft oil cooler, as the conventional crankcase was too low to the ground in the conventional engine put in the Cobra.

E-Bikes are a fucking menace.
Used responsibly they could just enable a faster-moving version of the Netherlands, but they are never used responsibly. People who suck at riding regular bikes hop on these damn things and crank the throttle to Full Retard and zip in and around cars and knock people off sidewalks. They also present the problem of subverting the vector calculations of non-bikers who are used to seeing a bicycle going ~10mph, and making the unconscious calculation of where it's going to be when our paths cross, but then the damn thing is going 30 and you nearly kill someone.

All the doom and gloom is solely in the summary, the preface, the non-science part.

It's a deadly joke to call it science. Posted by: People's Hippo Voice at June 23, 2023 11:33 AM (wKb4Z) Remember how there are always predictions about how the South Sea islands will go under the rising waters? Fun thing to tell climate fanatics about - Charles Darwin wrote a scientific treatise about those atolls when he was on the Beagle, over 150 years ago and one of the things he noted was that since Coral is a living thing that responds to sunlight and ocean conditions, the Atolls in the South Pacific would *always* adjust up or down to whatever the sea level was at the time, just like they have done for millions of years. So no, they will never "disapear beneath the sea". People have wrecked a few by killing the coral stupidly, but that's something completey different.

The engines are built better, using better steel for valves and valve seats, valve rings. Most people use synthetic motor oil now (mineral oil), which is also better for your car. With computer engine manangment, the engine just about tunes itself all the time, and doesn't get "out of time" or do stuff that can hurt the engine.

We “climate deniers” have been having a good laugh this week at the expense of Saint Greta The Climate Puppet, as one of her apocalyptic deadlines hit its expiration date two days ago.
Which means nothing. Meanwhile, she and all the rest of the climate cultists are laughing at every "climate denier", because over the past 2 decades, every "climate change" policy they have called for has been implemented across the world in every Western nation. With even more economy-crippling and civilization-destroying policies on the way by 2030, per WEF agenda. The climate cultists control every corporation and institution in the world and each Western nation Deep State has full control of elections. So the climate cult does not have to worry about the will of the people denying them their climate policies. So no, I am not laughing at Greta. I am angry and resigned to the fact that the climate cult has put us on a path to civilizational destruction over the next 10-20 years. Posted by: Clyde Shelton at June 23, 2023 11:47 AM (60h0q) 278

AI Says Conservative Women Are More Attractive Than Liberal Women.
This has been known for a while. There is a debate though; Are attractive people more likely to be conservative because conservatism values beauty* or Are conservative people more likely to take care of themselves and not dress like a clown? *And truth Keats, and truth.

That is because most of the green energy agenda is driven by feelz, not science and not the market.
Feelz always result in sub-optimal outcomes. Posted by: San Franpsycho at June 23, 2023 11:04 AM The green agenda is driven by desire for tyrannical control of the world. The WEF and elites of the world who have been working for decades to control every corporation and institution and Western government in order to implement their policies have been driven by power and control. What is driven by "feelz" is the green agenda propaganda and indoctrination of the masses, as that is the proven successful way to fool the ignorant masses, especially the younger, ignorant generations (Millennials, Gen-Z, Gen-Alpha).

one of the most fun cars I ever rode in was a '69 Mercury Marquis convertible, red with a black top, with a 427 police interceptor engine.

Good post.
Bring 50 million into the country as of O & Joe's 2nd administration. An one example: Need lots more housing - enter homebuilders, major remodelers. Who's union? Heavy equipment operators, carpenters, masons, plumbers, electricians, maybe pipe layers, transportation. Who's not? Roofing, siding, landscapers. Needs more bureaucracy in support positions - planning, architects/engineers, lawyers, enforcement... Round & round...keeps everything going & the rich get richer but remain uninvolved.The UN agreements for migration are picking & choosing, herding, saving but also using some with purpose. Worldwide population will decrease & moderate thanks to 'social' changes. Climate change as a factor is a farce but supports a new system of feudalism.

But what I think are more compelling are the specific predictions like "Roosevelt Drive will be underwater by 2010!" Those are easy for Mr. and Mrs. Lunchbucket to see are complete bullshit!!

... What is the disposal cost to replace one? (solar panel) ----------- The ones on his house? For mine, and 99% probability for his, not much. I know what you're implying - toxic waste OMG!!! Almost all residential solar uses monocrystalline silicon tech. You know, glass, with a couple of arsenic or phosphorous atoms tucked in there. Bound in the glass and at concentrations not much over what water standards allow. Now, there is a solar panel tech that can create hazardous waste: CdT. This is very rarely used in residential systems, it's very common for large solar farms, industrial and utility. It's difficult for regulatory agencies to control disbursed systems like residential, but it's not an issue there. The big users, though... The EPA has those guys by the nuts, which is why big bucks are being spent to develop recycling tech, which should be ready by the time these systems are EOL.
