Kamala Harris: Government 'can and should' legislate your meat consumption to combat climate change - TheBlaze

Their sick silence says much about liberals-----Black Slavery Exists Today in Muslim-Dominated African Nations, but No One's Talking About It | The Stream
Black Slavery Exists Today in Muslim-Dominated African Nations, but No One's Talking About It | The Stream: "Today, an estimated 529,000 to 869,000 black men, women, and children are still slaves.
They are bought, owned, sold, and traded by Arab and Muslim masters in five African countries.
This statistic estimates those enslaved in Algeria, Libya, Mauritania, and Sudan.
It excludes Nigeria, for which there are no tangible estimates.
Western human rights organizations and the mainstream media are practically and painfully silent on this matter.
It does not fit with their focus on Western white sin.
Here is a brief survey of this quasi-taboo topic..."

Renewables Threaten German Economy & Energy Supply, McKinsey Warns In New Report
Renewables Threaten German Economy & Energy Supply, McKinsey Warns In New Report
"A new report by consulting giant McKinsey finds that Germany's Energiewende, or energy transition to renewables, poses a significant threat to the nation's economy and energy supply.
...Despite much hype, Germany still generates just 35% of its electricity from renewables.
And if biomass burning, often dirtier than coal, is excluded, wind, water and solar electricity in Germany accounted for just 27% of electricity generation in 2018.
But McKinsey issues its strongest warning when it comes to Germany's increasingly insecure energy supply due to its heavy reliance on intermittent solar and wind.
For three days in June 2019, the electricity grid came close to black-outs.
"Only short-term imports from neighboring countries were able to stabilize the grid," the consultancy notes..."

Flashback: Aren’t California’s High Gas Prices What The Left Have Wanted?
Well, it’s a start, as Steven Chu, former President Obama’s then-incoming energy secretary, told the Wall Street Journal in the fall of 2008:
“Somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe.”
Vote for Warren — she’s put millions on unemployment, make America dependent on foreign oil once again and triple your fuel bills!
On Thursday after CNN’s seven hour “climate change town hall,” Bryan Preston wrote, “Seriously, if you see all of the above — which is just a sample — and vote for any of these people for any office at any level, it’s on you.
If you like Venezuela, voting for any of them will bring you a whole lot of Venezuela.
Thank you, CNN, just for letting these people talk.
Do it again next week?
Please?”

Fact Check: No, CNN, Hurricane Dorian is Not Evidence of Climate Change | Breitbart:
But that is simply not true. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reports, after extensive review of the data and the associated studies, that “the historical Atlantic hurricane frequency record does not provide compelling evidence for a substantial greenhouse warming-induced long-term increase” (original emphasis). In fact, the NOAA’s model predicts that there will be fewer Atlantic hurricanes (though rainier ones).

"I warn parents in my forthcoming book, “Culture Jihad: How to Stop the Left From Killing a Nation” that many public schools have been turned into indoctrination camps for the left.
The other day I received a message from Dina Bartus, the parent of two sons at Heritage High School in Wake Forest, North Carolina.
On the second day of class her son’s 10th grade English II Honors teacher distributed a “Diversity Inventory” worksheet and called on students to reveal their religion, economic status, and sexual preference.
The students were then instructed to stand under “titles” that asked questions like, “what makes you the most privileged?”
The teacher, who identified herself to students as bisexual, told the class she is privileged because she is white, Mrs. Bartus told me..."Read all.

New Research Suggests Some Climate Data May Be Tainted
"Al Gore likes to say that the science of climate change is “settled.”
But of course, science, almost by definition, is never settled.

"Al Gore likes to say that the science of climate change is “settled.”
But of course, science, almost by definition, is never settled.
And climate science has always suffered from the problem of shaky and missing data. Seventy percent of the globe is covered by ocean, where data is hard to collect.
Reliable weather records only go back to about 1850 and, in many parts of the world, are far more recent.
Modern recording weather stations date only to the early 20th century.
And many of those stations have a big problem.
While they haven’t changed appreciably over the years, the land around them has changed, often profoundly, with the great growth in urban and suburban areas.
The weather station that was put, say, in the middle of a Nassau County, Long Island, potato field in 1923 is still in the same spot.
But the potatoes are long gone, and now it’s behind a strip mall, twenty feet from the kitchen exhaust fan of a Chinese take-out joint.
A study by meteorologist Anthony Watts found that almost 90 percent of the 1221 weather stations in the U.S. did not meet the National Weather Service’s setting standards, which requires that they be at least 100 feet from any artificial heat source or radiating surface. You can see some of the most egregious violators here..."

Dems Blame Airplanes, Meat, Business For Climate Crisis – CNN Immediately Runs Ads For Those Three Things | The Daily Caller:

You want WW2?-----4 Memorable Moments From CNN’s Climate Town Hall – Reason.com
4 Memorable Moments From CNN’s Climate Town Hall – Reason.com"Last week's "Climate Town Hall" on CNN wasn't just long (seven hours!). It was deeply revealing about how Democratic presidential candidates think about government's power to regulate virtually all aspects of human behavior and how they approach policy and cultural change.
...About half of the candidates have endorsed the Green New Deal proposed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D–N.Y.) and Sen. Ed Markey (D–Mass.), which could cost as much as $90 trillion to implement.
...A number likened fighting climate change to the effort to win World War II, a metaphor that perhaps says more about their comfort with regimenting society than the speakers intended. During World War II, all industrial production was overseen by the federal government, food and fuel were rationed, and civil liberties were sharply curtailed in the interest of defeating the Axis powers..."

The Terrible Truth About ‘Live Aid.’
Related (From Ed):
As I wrote at the Weekly Standard in 2004, when Live Aid (minus Led Zeppelin’s disastrous set) was first released on DVD, “While Live Aid was spectacular television, it was just another in a series of Big Events from people who believed that throwing money at a problem eventually solves it. Eerily, it forecast how the left would interact with Iraq: Substitute Mengistu for Saddam Hussein and it’s amazing how all the rest of the players stay the same–the BBC, the United Nations, and celebrities who believe that despots can be reasoned with to do the right thing.
We won’t get fooled again? Of course you will.”---Posted by
The Terrible Truth About ‘Live Aid.’
But people felt good about themselves, and that’s the important thing."The assignment was simple — all this money had been raised, where was it going, was it actually doing good?He discovered it was not doing good, but, horrifically, unimaginably, the exact opposite. The Ethiopian dictator, Mengistu, until then deadlocked in the war, was using the money the west gave him to buy sophisticated weapons from the Russians, and was now able to efficiently and viciously crush the opposition. Ethiopia, then the third poorest country in the world, suddenly had the largest, best equipped army on the African continent.
By this time we had all seen the pictures and TV footage of Bob Geldof, the figurehead of Live Aid, bear hugging and playfully punching Mengistu in the arm as he literally handed over the funding for this slaughter. It was on TV now alright, but as an endless, relentless reel of heroic Bob Geldof highlights. He drenched himself in the adulation and no one begrudged him it, until our investigation exposed the holocaust that Live Aid’s collected donations had help perpetrate on the Eritrean independence fighters.
Most damningly, Keating reported that Geldof was warned, repeatedly, from the outset by several relief agencies in the field about Mengistu, who was dismantling tribes, mercilessly conducting resettlement marches on which 100,000 people died, and butchering helpless people. According to Medicins Sans Frontiers, who begged Geldof to not release the money until there was a reliable infrastructure to get it to victims, he simply ignored them.
