PRESIDENTIAL CLIMATE  SECURITY COMMISSION ORDERS CABIN BOYS TO STAND ON BURNING DECK

Congo’s Miners Dying to Feed

World’s Hunger for Electric Cars

Exploited by Chinese firms, workers as young as nine risk their lives to feed the world’s growing hunger for cobalt.

Solange Kanena sits on her broken orange sofa, heavily pregnant... Her husband died in a mining accident 10 days ago. She has never held an iPhone and has no idea what an electric car is. But her husband... was digging for a commodity that is critical to the batteries of both: cobalt.

Last year about 70% of the world’s supply came from the Democratic Republic of Congo, one of the poorest, most violent and corrupt places on Earth...

Without DR Congo there is no electric car industry and no green revolution.

COURTESY OF CLIMATE DEPOT, BROUGHT TO BY

Having  crossed the desert to Las Vegas to anoint Dr. Roy Spencer as the 

 of 2014, Dominionist  theologian Calvin Beisner Th.D. now thinks the West Wing a bully pulpit:

"Has the climate-change controversy reached a milestone? ... a lead-up to it happened yesterday, when 113 independent scholars (including 25 whom I recognize as specifically focused on climate science) joined 36 organizations and their representatives to send a letter to President Trump urging him “to create by Executive Order a President’s Commission on Climate Security.”
 Aside from my high regard for the scientific acumen of Dr. William Happer... a Biblical principle accurately expressed in Proverbs 18:17, “The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him,” drove my own determination to sign the letter.  Here are a few others..:

 “Whoever isolates himself seeks his own desire; he breaks out against all sound judgment” (18:1). 

 “A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion” (18:2). 

“If one gives an answer before he hears, it is his folly and shame” (18:13).  

“An intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge” (18:15).
And... the foundation of scientific method:

“Test everything; hold fast what is good” (1 Thessalonians 5:21).

Beisner, the intelligence behind the design of the Cornwall Alliance For The Stewardship Of Creation, wasn't very big on testing climate ideas when he wrote its founding declaration in 2006:

'Earth and its ecosystems– created by God's intelligent design and infinite power and sustained by His faithful providence – are robust, resilient, self-regulating, and self-correcting, admirably suited for human flourishing, and displaying His glory. Earth's climate system is no exception.'

GLOBAL WARMING ENERGY RESTRICTIONS

 THREATEN  U.S. NATIONAL SECURITY

HEARTLAND INSTITUTE  AUTHOR JAMES TAYLOR REPORTS :

■   GLOBAL WARMING IS A THREAT REDUCER  Asserted "threat multipliers"  like crop output, droughts, and extreme weather events are  becoming more benign as Earth warms Admiral Sir Cloudsly Shovell had the good taste to drown  after wrecking his fleet  in 1707 * This Policy Brief has been developed in collaboration with Admiral Thomas B. Hayward, U.S. Navy (retired) former Chief of Naval Operations and Commander-in-chief of the U.S. Pacific Fleet. Admiral Hayward,who did a splendid job as President Carter's CNO will turn 95 later this year.  Mr. Taylor has no national security experience whatever. Expert 'preaches' to Vatican  on geoengineering to  combat climate change ROME – ...Catholic layman Gary Gardner is a senior consultant to Green Faith...Speaking with Crux in Rome last week after attending a study session ahead of October’s Synod of Bishops on the Amazon region, Gardner said... he’s “preaching” on the issue together with colleagues and over 1,000 scientists who work with the United Nations,  Crux: Can we actually engineer the climate? Gardner: That’s exactly what’s being planned... Which can also be translated into “playing God with the climate” … That’s why our last report was called, “Playing God?”... One lung or two? at the [Vatican’s] Dicastery for Integral Human Development,... we insist on reductions, and that we don’t begin the testing until we can actually link it to reductions in emissions... as Pope Francis says, the Amazon is one of the lungs of the world. BAROQUE ART CONNAISSEUR  & GOOSE MIGRATION EXPERT TIM BALL WARNS  GRETA THUNBERG IS A CHILD OF THE SALEM WITCH TRIALS "There are many parallels between the claims of human-caused global warming (AGW) and such events in history as the Salem witchcraft trials.  In that case, the climate was probably to blame... during a time of poor harvests and social hardship people were looking for something or someone to blame. Between February 1652 and May 1693, they brought 200 people to trial on charges of witchcraft. ...All this occurred in a society of Puritan’s, people taking their belief system to extremes. Today’s moral panic is occurring in an equally narrow belief system called environmentalism... “Puritan belief suggested that children were among the most likely to become servants of the Devil " Republicans are the real threat to hamburgers, not Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez JOE ROMM: ONE OF THE MOST COMMON REPUBLICAN ATTACK LINES SINCE THE GREEN NEW DEAL RESOLUTION WAS INTRODUCED LAST MONTH IS THAT DEMOCRATS, NAMELY REP. ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ (D-NY), “WANT TO TAKE AWAY YOUR HAMBURGERS.” In the past week, Republican House members have staged a press conference during which they ate hamburgers in front of the U.S. Capitol. Republican senators have quipped, “maybe the chicken caucus is in favor of getting rid of cows.” And right-wing media outlets have run pun-filled headlines, like the Washington Times,’ “Sizzling anti-burger narrative puts Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal in a pickle.” But the truth is, the real threat to hamburgers — and to food supplies in general — is Republican inaction on climate change. The overheated, drought-riddled world their policies are driving us toward will be devastating to cattle. Red meat will become a scarce commodity — as it did during the severe drought in Texas earlier this decade. Global Warming Hoax Pushed by Corrupt Scientists ‘Hooked on Government Grants’ Greenpeace co-founder...Patrick Moore described the cynical and corrupt... narrative of anthropocentric global warming &“climate change” on Breitbart News Tonight Fear has been used all through history to gain control of people’s minds and wallets and all else, and the climate catastrophe is strictly a fear campaign  ...It is the biggest lie since people thought the Earth was at the center of the universe. this is Galileo-type stuff... this abomination that is occurring today in the climate issue is the biggest threat to the Enlightenment that has occurred since Galileo. Nothing else comes close to it. This is as bad a thing that has happened to science in the history of science.  It’s taking over science with superstition and a kind of toxic combination of religion and political ideology. There is no truth to this. It is a complete hoax and scam.” Undergound ice wall keeps nuclear radiation at bay The intricate network of small metal pipes, capped off by six-foot-high metal scaffolding, shouldn't stand out amid the numerous pieces of industrial equipment littered throughout the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. After all, it's a power plant.  I take a closer look, and notice spheres of ice perched upon the smaller pipes, which line the center of the structure. The facility sits at the water's edge, and there's a brisk breeze blowing through. But not that brisk It turns out, coolant is running through the pipes, freezing the soil below and creating an impermeable ice wall that's nearly 100 feet deep and a mile long, encircling the reactors. It's like a smaller-scale subterranean version of the Wall in Game of Thrones, but instead of keeping out White Walkers and wights, this line of defense keeps in a far more realistic danger: radioactive contaminants from melted-down reactors that threaten to spill into the water by Fukushima Daiichi.
