The recent mud flood in Tibet and Nepal apparently has nothing to do with climate change, but is somehow the result of Communism. Or something. Per Breitbart News.
Men snälla Tobias, arten människa (Homo sapiens L 1758) är faktiskt allätare. Alltså köttätare. Koreaner äter katter, exempelvis. Svenskarna äter ren, och i förekommande fall, älg. Anka och gås är väl inte helt fel heller. Undrar förresten hur mammutstek smakade?
An infomercial from the 1970´s telling people to be careful with matches in the forest, lest they start fires. That kind of stuff. OK, it´s a bit...bizarre. A propos the more recent forest fires, I suppose.
Greta Thunberg´s future husband? He´s perfect: autistic, nerdy, speaks English with a terrible British accent (I mean, the guy even *is* British) and is - wait for it - a climate change activist! I mean, dude. He´s probably privileged, too, since he pays people to research and produce his content.
As for this video, it´s click bait. The message of this overly-long YouTube clip is - if you follow it to the end -that we haven´t lost. We can still save the planet...by renewable energy, diminishing our individual carbon footprints, and (surprise) vote for pro-climate politicians. Imagine that. We can actually *vote* ourselves out of this predicament. Let me guess. Green Party?
But sure, he complains a lot about the evil oil companies. Gotta bait the young radical savages with something, I suppose. The funny thing is that all the negative stats he presents proves that we really have lost. Oh, and if he ever dates Greta, I´m sure she can tell him about how fucked CSC really is...
What if there are no solutions to the climate crisis, the demographic crisis, the migrant crisis, the AI crisis (the real one), the autism crisis, the IQ crisis, the energy crisis, the ecological crisis...did I forget something? Well, American Coke still contains corn syrup rather than sugar. Tastes like shit, apparently. Or corn.
Rubrik i Aftonbladet just nu: "Varnar: Risk för skyhöga matpriser". Vad bra, då kan Maggan få in mer skatteintäkter när hon tar över som statsminister i höst trots att Tidö sänkte matmomsen. Alla tiders!
Sedan kan hon använda pengarna till att subventionera HBT-säkrade solceller till Miljöpartiets väljare i Stockholms innerstad. För att hålla dem varma (bokstavligt talat?) när sossarna kör över MP i kärnkraftsfrågan. Och stannar kvar i NATO.
Oh no, Tucker convinced Putin (you know, *that* guy) that abiogenic oil actually exist! Jokes aside, the Russian government is apparently under the influence of a maverick believer in the existence of infinite oil. They will finance deep drilling in Komi to see if the hypothesis can be sustained (pun intended). If abiogenic oil exists in large quantities, the Russian Federation can finally (re)claim its rightful place under the sun. Or at least above the fuel reserves.
Sabine is skeptical, since "everyone" has been looking for the elusive non-fossil oil for decades (around Lake Siljan in Sweden, for instance - not mentioned in the video) and came up short. One aspect she doesn´t discuss is the impact on our climate if abiogenic oil would be found in enormous amounts too cheap to meter. But sure, maybe the good people of Komi could need some long hot summers to grow Lysenkoite water melons, or whatever.
Notorious controversialist and secret ZZ Top member Dan Dedunking can´t dedunk the climate crisis anymore, as his home town is engulfed by the Flames of the Anthropogenic Apocalypse. But OK, at least his sense of humor is intact. Had to check whether the fire was real, and the answer is...yepp. It´s all over the news as we speak!
Not only are low IQ headlines confusing the non-paying public, Sabine Hossenfelder´s explanation will also be misunderstood and off we go. Just another Tuesday (or actually Friday) on the internets.
Actually, this one has been on my mind for some time. For instance, a great number of dead and charred bodies of deer have been found after the wildfires in Spain. Obviously. So logically, dead bodies of Bigfoot should be found after wildfires in California or Canada. Have they? Of course not. So Bigfoot probably aint real.
Or maybe his body can´t burn. You know, ghosts and shit.
Lite om hur vinodlingen i Bordeaux-trakten påverkas av de stora skogsbränderna. Rök kan tydligen påverka vinets smak?! På lång sikt är det dock snarast klimatförändringarna som hotar vår tillgång till "friska och fruktiga" viner...
162 people have been arrested in France on suspicion of - wait for it - having started wildfires. Had I been a climate activist, I suppose I would have added "none of them is an oil executive". But I won´t.
Let´s just say that the fires seem rather overdetermined at this point. A toxic brew of bad forest management (cuz no money or whatever), pyromaniacs, Godzilla El Nino, and - yes - long-term anthropogenic climate change. I wouldn´t be surprised if both Islamists and France´s geopolitical adversaries will start fires in their forests during the years ahead as a form of bio-warfare (or eco-terrorism).
Håller med om att fotografiet högst upp kommer att bli en klassiker. Här är ett citat:
>>>Vi står, konstaterar forskarna, inför ett moment 22: Vi behöver plantera mer skog för att begränsa klimatförändringarna – men om inte framtidens skogar planeras utifrån en kraftigt ökad brandrisk, riskerar de att brinna upp innan de hinner fungera som de kolsänkor som klimatstrategierna bygger på.>>>
Påminner om klimatkrisens mer generella "moment 22": om vi slutar att använda fossila bränslen kollapsar den moderna civilisationen, men om vi fortsätter kan den mycket väl kollapsa ändå.
The French city of Bordeaux (with over one million inhabitants) is preparing for evacuation as we speak. Several large suburbs have already been emptied. The reason? Yes, the wildfires. Over 200,000 people have left their homes in the Bordeaux-adjacent regions of Gironde and Lande.
