“Worse than Tobacco”: Aussie Greens Push for Fossil Fuel Advertisement Ban

“Worse than Tobacco”: Aussie Greens Push for Fossil Fuel Advertisement Ban
"Australia’s largest coal producer, Glencore, launched its first national advertising campaign last month with sweeping footage of glittering solar panels and an idyllic vista of twirling wind turbines.
At least one climate advocacy group argues such marketing should be banned in Australia, in a move
similar to the outlawing of tobacco advertising three decades ago.
Comms Declare, a group made up of 300 marketing, public relations, advertising and media professionals, as well as 80 organisations that have committed to not supporting companies contributing to the growth of fossil fuel emissions in Australia, has launched a campaign of its own calling for a tobacco-style blanket ban on advertising by coal, oil and gas companies in Australia..."

DeSantis: 'Put on the Full Armor of God ... Take a Stand Against the Left

DeSantis: 'Put on the Full Armor of God ... Take a Stand Against the Left: 

HOLLYWOOD, FL — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) pointed to scripture to show fellow conservatives how to battle against the radical left and their schemes, urging the crowd to “put on the full armor of God.”

“If you’re running for the legislature, if you’re just a concerned citizen going to a school board meeting, you’re going to a public meeting, standing up and speaking the truth and standing for the right things at this moment in time is not cost free,” he said at the 2022 Sunshine Summit Victory dinner.

Truth. Guts. The American way!

 

British Green Electricity Crisis – Britain Paid £9.72 / KWh to Keep the Lights On

British Green Electricity Crisis – Britain Paid £9.72 / KWh to Keep the Lights On

• Imagine receiving a quarterly household electricity bill of £10,000 – because this is the kind of money Britain’s Electricity System Operator paid last Wednesday, to prevent blackouts during the heatwave.

"London narrowly avoided blackout as electricity prices surged last week
The UK was forced to pay 5,000% higher than the typical price for electricity to prevent a power blackout in south-east London.

Bidenvilles: America’s New Emblem of Decay

Bidenvilles: America’s New Emblem of Decay

• “Bidenvilles” are the inevitable outcome of progressive-Left policies.

"In French, a “bidonville” is a shantytown. 

...What surprised me when I came home to Washington, D.C., a few months ago was seeing shantytowns both outside the State Department, where my old office was, and Union Station, near my new office.
In America under President Joe Biden, the word “Bidenville” is beginning to gain traction as a term for a waste-filled, insalubrious tent city inhabited by what the left calls “people experiencing homelessness,” who often suffer from an unfortunate combination of drug addiction and mental illness.
Shantytowns aren’t new to America. 

• During the Great Depression, they were ironically called Hoovervilles after President Herbert Hoover. However, at that time, Hoovervilles comprised able-bodied people who were out of work due to the worst economic crisis and highest unemployment in U.S. history. 
• Now, unemployment is low and entry-level jobs go begging. 

The Bidenvilles of today are filled more by ideology and incompetence than economic duress..."

Drug traffickers busted with fentanyl skip California court date after released on cashless bail - TheBlaze: 

Their bail was initially set at $1 million each. However, less than 24 hours after their arrest for the deadly drugs, a judge ruled that the suspects were to be released from custody on cashless bail.

About that Northwestern European Heat Wave | Power Line

About that Northwestern European Heat Wave | Power Line

"Steve has mentioned the brief heat wave that brought unprecedented high temperatures to much of England, and elsewhere in Northwestern Europe. The heat wave didn’t last long–the high today in London was 79 degrees–but it prompted an outpouring of global warming hysteria.

Watts Up With That has a useful antidote to “green” hysteria:

The high this week for central England was absolutely unparalleled, particularly regarding the deviation from the previous record high. Also note that the heat wave was very short.

As you can see in this chart:

Ironically, such an extraordinarily extreme event is a sign that global warming played a very small role in this event. This reflects the

Golden Rule of Climate Extremes:

• The more extreme a climate or weather record is, the greater the contribution of natural variability and the smaller the contribution of human-caused global warming..."
