Seattle Might Ban New Homes and Buildings From Using Natural Gas

Seattle Might Ban New Homes and Buildings From Using Natural Gas: 
"The Seattle Times reports that Seattle's city council is considering legislation which would ban all new homes and buildings within city limits from using natural gas, and mandating that these edifices must use electric heating and cooking.
Councilmember Mike O’Brien will likely introduce the legislation next week. 
If passed, it is expected that the regulations will go in effect next summer.
"We know that some people rely on natural gas at home and on the natural-gas industry for jobs, so we want to be thoughtful about how we transition," O'Brien said..."

Repeat the lies!-----CNN falsely pushes claims that ‘climate crisis is making hurricanes more dangerous’

CNN falsely pushes claims that ‘climate crisis is making hurricanes more dangerous’
"CNN’s fall from a purveyor of news to pure propaganda organ of the Left was vividly displayed yesterday.   
An anchor named Ana Cabrera accused an expert of “sidestepping” the purported issue of global warming making hurricanes more dangerous. 
She didn’t interview the guest herself, but rather commented on a previous interview done by her colleague in which the other CNN anchor tried to bait guest Peter Gaynor, acting FEMA director, into blaming global warming:

Gaynor refused to agree. When the recording of the interview was done, Cabrera blatantly stated (with prepared-in-advance slides with the text):

Here are the facts we know that the climate crisis is making hurricanes more dangerous. Here are the top ways listed in order of scientific confidence. The sea level rise is making storm surge more dangerous and making storms wetter, increasing the rainfall rate, as well as the amount of precipitation a storm can produce. Strong storms are getting even stronger because of warmer oceans. And storms are rapidly intensifying more frequently. So we are seeing this play out in real time with hurricane Dorian, the strongest hurricane to ever hit the Bahamas on record.

Norway’s electric car miracle is a smug national fraud built on subsidizing rich people with Teslas — RT World News

Norway’s electric car miracle is a smug national fraud built on subsidizing rich people with Teslas — RT World News
"The government in Oslo spending billions of oil export dollars to help the affluent buy an electric second car they wouldn’t otherwise want is European environmentalism at its phoniest and most hare-brained.
It’s not that you can’t financially encourage societies to be more planet-conscious, but this charade of perverse incentives, inefficiencies, and negative side effects is not it.
...Thus, with a population of only 5 million, Norway has become the world’s third biggest electric car market.
This has burnished the Scandinavian country's credentials as a land populated by uniquely-ethical people.
But how has this incredible outlying result been achieved?
Pure shameless bribery from the state..."

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..."

Instapundit Blog Archive BAN ALL THE THINGS!
"BAN ALL THE THINGS! 
“On my first day as president, I will sign an executive order that puts a total moratorium on all new fossil fuel leases for drilling offshore and on public lands. 
And I will ban fracking—everywhere,” vows Elizabeth Warren.

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?”
And as Kate of Small Dead Animals wrote after the CNN horror show, “Don’t make the mistake of thinking they don’t mean it.”--Posted by Ed Driscoll" 

It is their goal. You know that, don't you?

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).

High School Students Told to Reveal Their Sexuality, Religious Beliefs | Todd Starnes

High School Students Told to Reveal Their Sexuality, Religious Beliefs | Todd Starnes
"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..."

New Research Suggests Some Climate Data May Be Tainted

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.

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..."

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..."
