Despite the news that the River Rhine is in a crisis due to “climate change” it has happened before, and many times. There are rocks in European rivers called Hunger Stones where people carved messages to mark the depth of the pain in the droughts. There are historical records of the Rhine drying up in spots so badly that people could walk across it with dry feet. In 1540 wells ran dry that had never run out of water. The whole decade was horrible, and in 1835 in Transylvania people were so hungry they ate dead cats and dogs. History is being actively wiped out because it never serves the narrative. Megadroughts were longer and deeper in the last 2000 years. The whole decade of the 1530s was filled with drought but the worst drought was 1540. Hell on Earth: the European drought of 1540 Patty Jansen In the summer of 1540, the people searched ever more desperate for drinking water. Even a meter and a half under the normal water table in Switzerland was not a drop of water to be found, noted Hans Salat at the time. Spring and upwellings that had never faltered […] Rod Dreher, The American Conservative, pays close attention to a warning from Viktor Orban Orban points out how the Energy-crisis is pulling Europe apart. The decision on decommissioning the last nuclear power plants in Germany during a crisis makes no sense and the rest of Europe is being expected to make up for this folly, as well as the climate change obsession that put the EU into this crisis in the first place: Europe’s Coming Big Freeze Rod Dreher Continent leaders preparing for winter rationing, shutdown of industries. Viktor Orban warned them Hungarian PM Viktor Orban has been warning for months now that Europe’s unqualified support for Ukraine is unsustainable … In his controversial speech in Transylvania, the West stupidly obsessed over his unwise “mixed-race” remarks, but these observations about the war and the coming winter were spot on, and far more important: In passing, I will say a few words about European values. Here, for example, is the latest proposal from the European Commission, which says that everyone must reduce their natural gas consumption by 15 per cent. I do not see how it will be enforced – although, as […] First the satire: By the Babylon Bee. “They came into my home to make your favorite president look like a criminal. Such losers, such losers. But everyone still loves me so it’s ok. They didn’t even find anything! I’m gonna be the President again!” Sources close to Trump say his first act as President will be to fire his own appointed FBI Director Christopher Wray and replace him with a used dust mop from the Capitol janitor’s closet before razing the Hoover building and banishing all FBI agents to Gitmo. “I’m gonna fire everyone, literally everyone in government,” said Trump. Federal Reserve? Gone! EPA? Gone! CIA? Gone! Department of Education? ATF? HHS? Gone, gone, gone!” The news media responded to Trump’s statement by calling him a “threat to democracy worse than Hitler” while tearing their clothes and heaping dust upon the crowns of their heads. Then the news: Half the country already knows the FBI Raid was not about “upholding the law” and 4 out of 5 Republicans say they are more likely to vote. The Democrats, and Team FBI may have miscalculated. They are desperate, which is perhaps the […] Governments pushing meat-free diets for weather control might want to follow the other science… A 20 year study of 26,000 women showed that people who ate vegetarian diets were 33% more likely to break their hips. This is no small point because hip fractures are a surprisingly bad thing. Short term mortality risk increases by 2 to 8 fold. (Not just a 20% increase but a 200% increase or worse). Hip fracture victims are more likely to go back to hospital, and not for their hips but mostly for other things like infections and heart conditions. Sadly as much as 17% of their remaining post fracture life may be spent in a nursing facility. (see Lo et al 2022) Vegetarian women are at a higher risk of hip fracture Webster et al, University of Leeds Among 26,318 women, 822 hip fracture cases were observed over roughly 20 years—that represented just over 3% of the sample population. After adjustment for factors such as smoking and age, vegetarians were the only diet group with an elevated risk of hip fracture. Researchers can only guess why and suggest vaguely that it might be a lack of […] August 12th, 2022 | Tags: Diet, Fake-meat, Vegetarian | Category: Big-Government, Diet, Mortality, UK |  Print This Post | | Nigel Farage: Many people were skeptical about the concept of a “Deep State” — they’re not any more. ” The World Is ‘Bewildered’ By The ‘Politicization Of America’s Justice System’” says Farage, and “It’s a war to save Western Civilization”, but despite that, Farage is cautiously upbeat. I do think… the Democrats have completely overstepped the mark. … and whilst it’s a very bad thing that’s happened, I think this will play very very well for Donald Trump. It’s a shocking day but it may well prove for all of us on the nationalist, populist cause, to be a good day. Trumps populist message could be more potent now than it was in 2016. (Not half!)
All fingers are pointing at the FBI now There was no FBI before 1908. But once it started, it was inevitable that the FBI was going to serve the government that feeds it. And since Big-government pays better than small government, it was also inevitable that the FBI would become a tool of Bigger-Government. Following the same trajectory, it’s just a matter of time before the FBI becomes One with Big Government and then we […] Anything but let Donald Trump run in 2024 A few perspectives on the FBI Raid of Mar-a-Lago that we didn’t hear on the ABC news tonight. The word of the day is “Banana Republic” There are two legal systems in the US now. If you’re on the same team as the Regime, the FBI will happily go slow on your laptop investigation, even if it implicates past Vice Presidents, and potential Presidential candidates and in an election year and on matters of national security. Likewise, using private servers while being Secretary of State and getting a subpoena and bleaching 33,000 emails. That’s OK too. Mark Steyn: Criminalizing Opposition in a Pseudo-Republic “we’ve now moved into hardcore banana-republic territory: the regime’s cops are busting into the home of the opposition leader. “ Steyn speaking three days after the “election”: It’s my view that after the Biden regime takes power, as in many coup situations, they will want to have the previous leader arrested. I’m being perfectly serious here. It is the intention of the Democrat Party to put Trump in jail. So, when he launches the ‘Trump News Network’, it’s gonna need to be based out […] Handy tip: Vitamin D deficiency causes chronic inflammation (which means aging, dementia, bad stuff)How many people have died of a vitamin D3 deficiency in the last 20 years? If you are deficient in Vitamin D3, you may reduce chronic inflammation just by taking this five cent supplement and getting a bit of sun. A new study finds evidence that low levels of Vitamin D are not just linked, but cause the dreaded chronic inflammation which is so tied to aging that researchers talk about inflammaging in medical papers. The term captures the diabolic systemic effects of inflammation that accelerate aging, dementia and heart disease and a whole alphabet of other conditions. But don’t wait for your CDC, NHS, or AHPRA-approved-doctor to tell you. The global anti-inflammatory drugs market was worth USD 94 billion a few years ago. Imagine what it would do to that market if everyone sorted out their vitamin D levels? Since Covid exacerbates inflammation, and people who are obese find it very hard to get their vitamin D blood levels up, it fits that aging, inflammation, obesity and low vitamin D3 make for a bad combination with SARS-2. And if inflammation causes some cases of Long Covid, then it seems to me that vitamin D3 may help with that too.

UPDATE: As commenter DLK says it’s a case of “sudden vehicle death syndrome (SVDS)”. Sudden energy release in car park. Imagine if this happened in an apartment block basement while people slept above it? 100 vehicles catch fire in Delhi’s Electric Vehicle charging station – India. Batteries News A massive fire broke out in Delhi’s Jamia Nagar electric vehicle parking station. A total of seven fire tenders reached the spot to douse the raging fire. The authorities are yet to conclude the reason for the fire. However, it could have happened because of a short circuit. As per reports, nearly 100 vehicles parked caught fire in the accident. But no one got injured. As many as 30 new e-rickshaws, 50 old e-rickshaws, 10 private cars, 2 scooters and a motorcycle were gutted due to the fire spreading through the parking lot. The Delhi Fire Department received the call at 5 AM. This is not an electric vehicle-related fire. … There are several hazards in the fuel pumps as well. We have seen […] What will electricity companies do if a million UK customers say they won’t pay their bill? We might find out in six weeks or so. A group called Don’t Pay UK are gathering pledges from fed-up UK consumers, and so far 75,000 Brits have signed up. The Twitter account @dontpayuk started in June, and already has 91,000 followers. The group draws inspiration from the Poll Tax protests thirty years ago which likely ended Margaret Thatchers reign as PM. As commenter MrGrimNasty says the latest estimates have the UK energy bill price cap at a [shocking] £4,700 by April next year, remember it was about £1200 hardly 2 years before then. With 12 million people in the UK facing energy poverty, there may be plenty of takers in the civil disobedience movement. The nation is only 6km away from 1,000 trillion cubic feet of shale gas. OK, so it’s 6 kilometers of solid rock, but if it were war-time, how long would that take? (Especially when the hole is already drilled. The hardest rock apparently is the paperwork just to stop it being concreted back in.) … Don’t Pay UK It’s simple: we are demanding a […] August 8th, 2022 | Tags: Protests | Category: Big-Government, Global Warming, UK | Print This Post | | …. 8.7 out of 10 based on 22 ratings While all the rats are jumping off the Unreliable Wreck, Australia is leaping onto it. Every country that uses electrical-generators for magical Global Climate Control has expensive electricity. They’ve lost industries, jobs and sovereign power as well as hot showers. Our energy prices are already a train-wreck, but Super-Albo is here to take that failure and double it. While Germany, France, Austria, Netherlands, Poland, China, India, Hungary, Greece and the United Kingdom are all ramping up their coal, we’re going to use less to fend off the floods and hold back the tide. It’s pretty much just down to us and our friends, those crazy Canuks and the cockoo-Kiwi’s to save the world. All doing the climate voo-doo. Magical pagan symbols and messages The term “action” doesn’t mean any actual activity — apart from lots of paperwork: Albanese told parliament: “Passing this legislation sends a great message to the people of Australia that we are taking real action on climate change.” Instead of a message, Australians were hoping to get a $275-a-year cut in their electricity bills. Meanwhile the rest of the world is sending a message to Australia — and they are saying: We Want Your Fossil […] August 6th, 2022 | Tags: Carbon Target, Coal, Emissions Trading Scheme | Category: Global Warming | Print This Post | | The new AIMS annual survey is in with the shocking result that not only was last year a record, but this year is even better. There is more coral cover on the Great Barrier Reef than ever recorded. We’ve had four bleaching events in the last seven years, and record hottest ever heat, the highest CO2 levels recorded since we invented ways to record CO2, and yet, despite all that, the reef is thriving. AIMS, Coral Reef Survey AIMS, Coral Reef Survey In 36 years of measuring coral cover on the reef, it’s never been better. Record coral cover for Great Barrier Reef: Australian Institute of Marine Science Graham Lloyd, The Australian The Great Barrier Reef has set a new record for hard coral cover over two-thirds of its 2300km length, results of the Australian Institute of Marine Science official long-term monitoring program show. AIMS program leader Mike Emslie said the results were “good news” and showed that the Reef had “dodged a bullet” in bleaching this year. “But the fact we have had four bleaching events in seven years is a major concern and highlights […] August 4th, 2022 | Tags: Corals, Great Barrier Reef, Ridd (Peter) | Category: Global Warming | Print This Post | | Study Human extinction? Climate doomers want to find a nuclear-winter-level scare to motivate peopleI’m rating this a full instant BINGO on the climate change propaganda card. Climate change just isn’t scary enough. The Merchants of Panic want to find the climate change equivalent of the Nuclear winter Bomb Scare “to compel” people: Climate change: More studies needed on possibility of human extinction Climate change just isn’t scary enough The BBC (thinks this is news) Catastrophic climate change outcomes, including human extinction, are not being taken seriously enough by scientists, a new study says. We know if they set up a committee to find “human extinction events” they will find them. We get what we pay for: The authors say that the consequences of more extreme warming – still on the cards if no action is taken – are “dangerously underexplored”. They argue that the world needs to start preparing for the possibility of what they term the “climate endgame”. We need these doomer studies apparently — because people have written pop science books predicting doom: According to this new analysis, the closest attempts to directly understand or address how climate change could lead to global catastrophe have come from popular science books such […] PS: Strangely, accidentally the site started asking people for registrations. Perhaps the cat stood on the wrong key? It may become necessary one day, but I would let readers know. Apologies. Things hopefully are back to normal… 9.6 out of 10 based on 14 ratings Kill trees, pollute the air, punish the poor and protect coal underground Just another day in Green heaven. Wood smoke over Canberra | Photo from Clean Air Canberra The Australian capital city Canberra in midwinter is often minus 1 to 5 degrees C in the morning. Australian homes can get very cold and with heating bills rocketing, things are defacto becoming like life in Berlin, which is in a pre-War energy crisis. No one labeled Canberra public halls as “warm spaces” and they definitely aren’t open at night (it’s the public service!), but crowds are arriving at libraries just to escape the cold. The ACT Government are a Labor-Green alliance, and are proudly, exuberantly “100% Renewable”, but won’t dare cut the cord to the coal plants that keep the lights on, making the claims of being 100% renewable a form of 100% false advertising. Even the ABC admits that the ACT itself only generates 5% of its own power, and 80% of the energy coming to the ACT through the wires is from fossil fuels. They pay off some distant wind farms to balance the theoretical gigawatt-hour tallies, and sponge off the states around for cheaper backup and […] So everyone “believes in climate change”, but they apparently don’t want to buy the fake-meat that is going to save us from storms, floods and droughts. It’s another mystery of post-modern life that’s solved by assuming that people say “Yes” to meaningless poll questions but “No thanks” to propaganda. No one really believes their burger will stop cyclones in ninety years time. McDonald’s Ends Testing McPlant Burger, Adding Pressure on Beyond Meat Stock By Naveen Athrappully, Epoch Times McDonald’s announced that it has concluded the U.S. trial of its McPlant burger, which is made with the plant-based protein manufactured by Beyond Meat (BYND). In November 2021, McDonald’s began testing the meat-free burger in eight restaurants across America. In February this year, the company introduced the McPlant burger at around 600 locations. According to third-party reports, the experiment ended as a failure. In a recent note, according to CNBC, JP Morgan analyst Ken Goldman cited employees from McDonald’s revealing that the burger did not sell well enough. This is a complicated way of saying “nobody wants to buy our product”: During the first-quarter earnings call in May, Beyond Meat founder and […] Coal use likely to set new 8 billion ton record this year (and next year too) How’s that transition going then? The IEA reports that the stranded dead asset is probably about to hit an all time record high: For 2022 as a whole, we expect global coal demand to increase by 0.7% from 2021 to about 8 billion tonnes. This would match its all-time peak reached in 2013… Worldwide coal consumption in 2021 rebounded by 5.8% to 7 947 million tonnes (Mt), according to our data, as the global economy recovered from the initial shock of the Covid pandemic and higher natural gas prices drove a shift towards coal-fired power generation. Current coal price tonight: $407.90. Also almost a record. So we have highest volume at the highest price, and people want you to believe that no one wants coal. China burns 53% of the world’s coal: Coal demand in China, the world’s largest consumer by far, increased by 4.6%, or 185 Mt, in 2021, reaching an all-time high of 4 230 Mt. India becomes the second country in the world to join the billion-ton-coal-club: India consumed 1 053 Mt of […] In Hanover and Munich people won’t get hot water in museums, swimming pools, sports halls, and other public buildings. But hey, hospitals and schools will still have hot water. In Berlin, the lights around public buildings and monuments and the fountains will also be switched off. Germany is in a world of trouble, and the cut-backs are just starting, mid-summer, to avert the tragedy that will be winter, if Russia blocks all gas. Germans have cut gas by 5-6% in summer, but in a normal year they get between 30% and 50% of their gas from Russia. All the talk of a 15% cut across the EU disguises that many of the other nations don’t want to do it, and Germany faces an extra difficult situation if they can’t get alternative gas supplies. As Russia cuts gas to Germany, Hanover residents forced to take cold showers Cities in Germany are switching off spotlights on public monuments, turning off fountains, and imposing cold showers on municipal swimming pools and sports halls, as the country races to reduce its energy consumption in the face of a looming Russian gas crisis. Hanover in north-west Germany on Wednesday […] *UPDATE: Twitter has halted the censorship after a flood of criticism, but not provided any explanation.
