Is there anything “climate change” (TM) can’t do?
Like, spawn a zombie apocalypse?
No, it’s no the Babylon Bee:
Of course it’s Berg’s Seventh Law in effect; most adherents to the Religion of Climate are pretty much the Walking Intellectual Dead already.
Meanwhile, in eastern Ohio, there’s a real eco-disaster that just doesn’t seem all that interesting.
Bjorn Lomberg says that the reason social elites are obsessed with climate change is because you can form a coalition around net zero. If you are an elite, there is something in it for you. eliminating indoor air pollution in the third world? Not so much.
In fact, a wood cooking fire in a hovel is greener than gas fired range because the wood cooking fire does not use fossil fuels.
JD: the Palestine derailment will be of interest to personal injury attorneys, however. “You may be entitled to compensation.”
Which administration rescinded the regulations for safety brakes to prevent just this type of derailment?
There are only two ways that a railroad historically have invested in safety.
1. Federal mandate
2. The lawsuits and damage start costing more than the money they’re saving by not doing them.
^ On Feb. 16, NTSB chair Jennifer Homendy addressed misinformation spreading about the derailment on Twitter.
Homendy directly acknowledged that the ECP brake rule would not have prevented the crash if implemented because the train that derailed in East Palestine was a mixed freight train that contained only three placarded Class 3 flammable liquids cars. Homendy said the ECP braking rule would have applied only to high-hazard flammable trains.
^ Quite right. After all, according to the greatest engineer of the C20th, Alfred E Neuman:
“What me Worry?”
Zealots: “We won’t get any more snow due to global warming. Snowfalls of our childhood are gone forever.”
Also zealots in a snow-heavy season: “More proof of global warming.”
Why it was just the other day that frequently wrong, never in doubt Emery was using the SITD comment section to lecture on his odd belief that state politicians are in charge of railroad safety.
“What me Worry?”
Always good to get a (re)confirmation that any topic that requires more than a nonsensical response that may or may not be on point is beyond the ability of the Emerys.
Again, it takes longer to re-regulate an industry than it does to deregulate it.
jdm, that’s partly why i suspect the e’s are a bunch of high school girls
they something vapid, an intelligent person corrects them
the first girl roll her eyes and uses the valley girl voice “ooo, mister brainiac, what a weirdo, stop talking to me, loser”
the second girl says “your so dumb, it says right here in people magazine, go home and play with your toys”
seriously, read e’s comments in 14 year old valley girl voice
its a hoot
seriously, read e’s comments in 14 year old valley girl voice
Funny (and I’ve always agreed with you on this). Moreover, it sounds like an opportunity for UMMP’s ChatGPT experiments.
Have you ever noticed that, according to the establishment media, climate change can only ever cause bad things to happen, while combating climate change can only ever result in good things happening?
The Pentagon has described climate change as a threat multiplier because it makes many things worse for humans. The tough part will be flying every climate skeptic to Greenland so that they, too, can see evidence of climate change.
^^Blather layer of AI Emery needs tweaking.
All the global controllers need to do to get neo-con conservatives™️ on board is to announce climate change is a clear and present danger to Ukraine.
They’d declare Greta Thunberg the patron saint of Freedom©️
The headline is interchangeable by sticking in random wokery:
“The Last of us? How Lack of Diversity Could Spawn a Deadly Zombi Fungus”
“The Last of us? How Elon Musk Could Spawn a Deadly Zombi Fungus”
“The Last of us? How Systemic Racism Could Spawn a Deadly Zombi Fungus”
“The Last of us? How Anti-Abortion Pregnancy Centers Could Spawn a Deadly Zombi Fungus”
“The Last of us? How Donald Trump Could Spawn a Deadly Zombi Fungus”
You know what a scam gloBULL warming is when the advocates of the “science” start hawking strategies or blackmail schemes that benefit them. St. Greta started selling a climate book. How dare her! If it’s such a crisis, her and her handlers should be giving it away!
Which administration rescinded the regulations for safety brakes to prevent just this type of derailment?
Untrue. The head of the NTSB flatly stated that the regulation, were it still in place, wouldn’t have applied to this train. Also, there’s video from Salem, OH, 20 miles before the accident in East Palestine, showing the axle already on fire. Why didn’t the hotbox detector in Salem alert the train personnel? And if it did, why was no action taken? The next hotbox detector is in East Palestine, less than a mile from the derailment. Did that detector indicate anything? Did the personnel take action then? If it did and if they did, it’s doubtful it would’ve made a difference at that point what kind of brakes were on the cars.
You can challenge the wisdom in rescinding the regulation, which by the way was done after a study by the National Academy of Sciences that determined that costs outweighed potential benefits at that time. At what point, 2 years after he’s left office, is the tenant living rent-free in your head, no longer responsible for every clusterf**k that’s happened on Biden’s watch?
Living a green lifestyle is indistinguishable from poverty.
You would end the net zero nonsense tomorrow if the people promoting it actually had to live the way that they want the rest of us to live.
The tough part will be flying every climate skeptic to Greenland so that they, too, can see evidence of climate change.
I’ll give you credit on this one, Emery: You called them “skeptics” rather than “deniers.” Good for you in acknowledging that the “science” isn’t “settled”, and that a failure to convince them of the soundness of the ACC theory isn’t automatically due to their supposed “intransigence.”
You almost had it. Let me fix it for you:

Hi ChatGPT! In the style of peewee herman, explain to Bikebubble how climate change is a more danger to Ukraine than the threat of tactical nuclear missiles.
“ Well, hello there, Bikebubble! Do you know what’s even scarier than a bunch of tactical nuclear missiles? Climate change! That’s right, it’s like the ultimate doom-and-gloom scenario. If we don’t get our act together and start taking better care of our planet, things could get pretty hairy for Ukraine and, well, everyone else too!
Climate change can cause all sorts of problems like rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and food and water shortages. And those kinds of things can lead to all sorts of other problems, like political unrest, economic instability, and mass migration. It’s a whole domino effect of disaster!
So, let’s all do our part to take care of the planet, okay? You can start by using less plastic, conserving water, and reducing your carbon footprint. And, don’t forget to recycle, because it’s cool to care about the environment!”
Lmao
Thank God our Better’s are able to fly around in their private jets to school us on the importance of us living an austere lifestyle in order to change the climate.
Here is the NY Times guide to lessening your carbon footprint:

Turn down the heat. Turn down the temp on your water heater. Turn up the temp on your fridge. Become a vegan. Buy clothes at the goodwill. Take fewer vacations. Turn your thermostat down in the winter and up in the summer.
They kind of let the cat out of the bag on the bottom of the article: “buy less stuff.”
People will not do these things because people aren’t stupid.
“It’s cold here in Wisconsin in the winter. Why can’t I turn the heat up?”
“Because you are an imbecile, you will have to take my word for it, but if I allow you to turn your heat up, a Micronesian fisherman will starve.”
“Really? What’s his name? I like fishing. I’d like to talk to that person, maybe we could do Facetime.”
“Don’t be an idiot, he won’t be born for thirty years.”
Silly UMMP. That Micronesian fisherman will never be born. His parents will lose any real possessions and be moved to residence towers in Australia.
All of Micronesia along with any other desirable tropical land is going to be confiscated to build estates for our Oh-So Wise and Intelligent Climate Clerisy.
