72 Terrible Things Global Warming Will Apparently Cause | PSI Intl

72 Terrible Things Global Warming Will Apparently Cause | PSI Intl
%ITEMS% Terrible Things Global Warming Will Apparently Cause
"As everyone knows global warming will kill us all in as little as 1211, 10 years.
But it’s actually way worse than that.
Global warming — caused of course by corporate greed/gas guzzling SUVs/supersized hamburgers/greedy, fat, stupid Americans, etc. — is being predicted to cause all manner of disaster.
Scientists eager to terrify people into taking them seriously have over the last several decades made a series of frightful predictions.
For example, did you know man-made global warming will result in more miscarriages in Bangladesh? It’s true, the BBC said so.
Or that our changing climate — again due almost exclusively to our rampant consumerism and the overwhelming influence of the Big Straw lobby — will result in fewer circumcisions in some African tribes? Scientists say it’s so!
Some of these predictions, however, somehow never came to pass. For example, scientists in 2007 warned that the arctic would be “ice free” by 2013, yet today are trying to figure out why arctic ice is instead increasing.
Man-made climate change was also predicted to kill thousands of Brits — by 2018. Whoops.
To keep track of these scientists’ most bizarre, and most terrifying, doomsday prophesies, we’ve started the news list below. And as you already know, 97 percent of scientists agree you should read it, bookmark it, and share it with it with your friends.

Today's liberals dream of a workerless paradise - UnHerd

The New Class War: Saving Democracy from the Metropolitan Elite by [Lind, Michael]Today's liberals dream of a workerless paradise - UnHerd:
  • A new book argues that that both Left and Right are now engaged in class war — against the poor
"... The New Class War: Saving Democracy from the Metropolitan Elite, which argues that “Demagogic populism is a symptom. Technocratic neoliberalism is the disease”. 
Lind says that Western society feels as if it is coming apart and this is a delayed consequence of the working class losing the political power it possessed for much of the twentieth century. 
“The Cold War has been followed by the class war”, writes Lind. 
This is a war that is being waged against the working class by an ascendant caste of university-credentialed professional elites.
“Social power exists in three realms — government, the economy, and the culture,” writes Lind. 
“All three realms of Western society today are fronts in the new class war.” 
We see this class war being waged over everything from Brexit to the election of Donald Trump to the rise of an activist judiciary. 
And despite the recent populist backlash one side remains firmly on top..."

Students demanded divestment from fossil fuels, a professor offered to turn off the gas heating

Image result for student huddling coldStudents demanded divestment from fossil fuels, a professor offered to turn off the gas heating
"Professor Andrew Parker of St John’s College at Oxford University is my new favorite person. 
The Times of London reports that a group of students wrote to Professor Parker to discuss demands being made by student protesters about fossil fuel divestment. 
His response wasn’t what they were expecting:


Two students at St John’s College wrote to Andrew Parker, the principal bursar, this week requesting a meeting to discuss the protesters’ demands, which are that the college “declares a climate emergency and immediately divests from fossil fuels”. They say that the college, the richest in Oxford, has £8 million of its £551 million endowment fund invested in BP and Shell.
Professor Parker responded with a provocative offer. “I am not able to arrange any divestment at short notice,” he wrote. “But I can arrange for the gas central heating in college to be switched off with immediate effect. Please let me know if you support this proposal.”...

Joe Biden: Trump Impeachment Isn’t ‘Partisan’ Even If It’s A ‘Party Line Vote’ | The Daily Caller

Former Vice President Joe Biden repeatedly told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos Friday that the impeachment of President Donald Trump is “not a partisan impeachment.”
Stephanopoulos first pointed to Biden’s own prior comments during the 1998 impeachment of former President Bill Clinton, when he said a a “partisan” impeachment was “wrong.”

Climate doomsayers keep putting sell-by dates on their credibility | Spectator USA

  • I do wish we would take them a smidgen less seriously when they turn out to be wrong — as they always do

Image result for Greta Thunberg Quotes"I was slightly surprised when Greta Thunberg announced at Davos that we had eight years left to save the planet.
As long as that?
Admittedly, that’s four years less than Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who put it at 12, although, come to think of it, that was last January, so presumably she now thinks we’ve got 11 years left.
But some doomsayers have been much less optimistic.
According to Peter Wadhams, a Cambridge professor interviewed in the Guardian in 2013, Arctic ice would disappear by 2015 if we didn’t mend our ways, while Gordon Brown announced in 2009 that we had just 50 days to save the Earth.
Then again, playing the long game can also catch up with you.
In 2004, Observer readers were told Britain would have a ‘Siberian’ climate in 16 years’ time.
We’re supposed to be in the midst of that now.
On the face of it, we should be grateful that these gloomsters make such oddly precise predictions. It’s like putting a sell-by date on their credibility..."

District Attorney In Maine Wants To Start Prosecuting People Based On Accusations And Nothing Else | The Daily Wire

District Attorney In Maine Wants To Start Prosecuting People Based On Accusations And Nothing Else | The Daily Wire
"A Maine prosecutor has vowed to prosecute people accused of sexual assault even if there is not enough evidence to prove they committed the crime.
WGME reported District Attorney Natasha Irving said she would try to reform the legal system by prosecuting cases that previously had been deemed “too hard to prove.”
She said prosecutors shouldn’t decline to take on such cases because “that response is very damaging to a survivor,” suggesting she believes every accuser is a “survivor.”
Image result for guilty...Irving also repeated the misleading statistic that just 2% to 8% of sexual assault accusations are false.
The number, as I have written numerous times, refers only to cases that have been proven false.
The real number is unknown.
Using the same logic employed by Irving, one could say just 3% to 5% of rape accusations are true, since that’s how many go to trial and result in a guilty finding.
Irving went on to explain the two criteria she will use to bring forward rape allegations.
1. Is the allegation credible? (Judging from Irving’s statements it’s hard to see her believing many allegations aren’t credible) and
2. Is the accuser (WGME predictably calls them a “victim”) willing to go forward with the case and potentially testify?
That’s it.
That’s all it will take for Irving to drag someone through a lengthy court battle even if it’s obvious they will be found not guilty.
As criminal defense attorney Scott Greenfield wrote on his blog Simple Justice, that Irving’s approach seems to be about smearing the accused rather than obtaining justice in any particular case..."

Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul on Thursday read the question he intended to ask during the Senate’s impeachment trial of President Donald Trump at a press conference, saying he was not trying to oust the whistleblower.
“My question is not about a ‘whistleblower.’ My question is about the actions of known Obama partisans within the NSC and House staff and how they are reported to have conspired before impeachment proceedings had even begun,” Paul said during a press conference after Chief Justice John Roberts would not read Paul’s written question on the floor.

'How do you spell racist? NYPD': New Yorkers protest growing police action on subways | US news | The Guardian
"More than 500 people gathered in New York City’s Grand Central Terminal on Friday night to demonstrate against a growing police presence on the subway.
Commuters in the bustling terminal, some agitated, wove through the protest. Others gawked at the spectacle, as demonstrators held signs that read “poverty is not a crime” and “the real farebeaters are on Wall Street” and chanted: “How do you spell racist?” “NYPD”.


It was the third protest organized by a group of grassroots organizations calling itself the FTP Coalition. 
The coalition’s main priority is to plan large protests against the MTA and NYPD, to advocate for a reduced police presence in the subway system..."

See the source image"Sen. Bernie Sanders has put nationalizing health insurance at the center of his presidential campaign, but his proposal to fight climate change also calls for a government takeover of a fundamental segment of the economy — electricity production.
Sanders has laid out a $16 trillion climate change plan that would transition U.S. electricity generation away from fossil fuels to renewable resources like wind, solar and hydropower by 2030.
...And like Sanders' healthcare plan, the green energy push would muscle many of the country's biggest companies out of the business..."
