UN/NPR goons find another "crisis" to use as a weapon against YOU!-----Wasted Food Around The World Takes Heavy Toll On Environment : The Salt : NPR
Wasted Food Around The World Takes Heavy Toll On Environment : The Salt : NPR"It's one of the great paradoxes of our time: Hundreds of millions of people go hungry, and yet we waste a whopping 1.43 billion tons of food — one third of what we produce...
And, as we've reported before, not only are we missing the opportunity to feed hungry people with this food, we're also exacerbating the impact of food production on the environment.
A report from the (UN) Food and Agriculture Organization out Wednesday brings these impacts into sharper focus.

Bang! Biden escalates war on guns with national 'red flag law' center | WND | by Bob Unruh
Bang! Biden escalates war on guns with national 'red flag law' center | WND | by Bob Unruh:
Red flag laws bypass routine restraints, the charge.
There "a judge acts solely on the basis of a written complaint. He never talks to the person who made the complaint or the person against whom it was made. States vary on how quickly hearings must occur, but they all require that they take place within a month after one’s guns are taken away. But the steep cost of legal representation often deters defendants from seeking counsel, as lawyers can charge upwards of $10,000 for a hearing."
‘The River Is Essentially Dead’: How Enviros’ Push To Save Salmon Ended Up Killing ‘Hundreds Of Thousands’ Of Them
A well-funded environmentalist group played a key role in the push to remove dams in the Pacific Northwest’s Klamath River ahead of premature deaths of thousands of salmon. - NICK POPE"American Rivers — an organization that has received millions of dollars from left-of-center environmentalist grantmaking organizations in recent years — was “the orchestrator of the Klamath dams removal project,”...

Instapundit - FACE, MEET PALM: North Sea oil rigs threatened with shutdown unless they start running on green electricity
Instapundit - You have to give climate panicmongers credit...
Currently, more than 280 platforms extracting oil and gas from UK waters produce 3pc of the country’s total emissions, the equivalent of about 17 million tonnes of CO2 a year.
Currently, more than 280 platforms extracting oil and gas from UK waters produce 3pc of the country’s total emissions, the equivalent of about 17 million tonnes of CO2 a year.
"However, UK oil and gas fields also account for half of the country’s energy needs.You have to give climate panicmongers credit, if that’s the right word, for being endlessly imaginative in their efforts to regulate wealth and happiness out of existence. - Stephen Green
Despite this, the North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA), which regulates the offshore sector, has told producers that they must convert platforms to run on green electricity or low-carbon fuels.
This means all new developments before 2030 must be designed to run on electricity, while all those after that must be fully electrified from the start.
Critics say the new demands will deliver a fatal blow to many of the older platforms operating around British shores.
Some date back to the 1970s or 1980s and would be hugely expensive to decarbonise.
U.S. city grabs $1 million Zuckerbucks right before vote taken on making it illegal | WND | by Bob Unruh
U.S. city grabs $1 million Zuckerbucks right before vote taken on making it illegal | WND | by Bob Unruh:
Among the foreboding details of the grant projects is that the city took nearly $38,000 for a text messaging service that will let officials warn voters about "misinformation."
That, of course, is subject to a political slant because a Democrat official's perspective on "misinformation" might be based solely on political considerations, not facts.
No, Climate Change Isn't Behind A Chocolate Easter Egg Crisis - Climate Change Dispatch
The Daily Mail posted an alarming Easter-themed story saying climate change has caused the price of chocolate Easter eggs to increase. This is false. - H. Sterling Burnett"Chocolate Easter eggs and other chocolate candies have seen prices increase; however, data prove it isn’t due to a shortage of cocoa beans since cocoa production has risen as the Earth has warmed...

The ECIU’s claim is false on several counts...
- West Africa set records for production 17 times during that period, most recently in 2022...
- The past two years wide weather swings across the globe have been dominated by the shift from a La Niña to a “strong El Niño year,” as the Daily Mail admits...

Lack of transparency exposes clear FBI bias | Blaze Media
Lack of transparency exposes clear FBI bias | Blaze Media:
Sadly, the FBI’s lack of transparency on this issue lays bare its own transparent biases. It is safe to assume that if Hale’s manifesto exonerated her of fostering anti-Christian prejudice or demonstrated anything other than a tragically demented and disturbed mind captured in the throes of psychological disturbance manifesting as “transgenderism,” the FBI would dutifully offer a full report to the American people.

Jaime Escalante: Teacher who expected the best of the worst | Blaze Media
Jaime Escalante: Teacher who expected the best of the worst | Blaze Media:
America's broken education system needs fewer credentialed experts and more teachers with high standards.
DEI, as everyone knows, stands for diversity, equity, and inclusion. But lately those who notice its corrosive effects on the people it purports to help have come up with a second, more brutally honest meaning: didn't earn it.
This might equally apply to the "experts" who have enriched themselves from DEI's application. Take Jo Boaler, a mathematics education professor at Stanford, who's come up with a novel way to help students (often poor and black or Latino) falling behind their peers in eighth-grade algebra.
Simply remove it from the curriculum altogether.
