HEARTLAND INSTITUTE FORESAW UKRAINIAN CRISIS
HEARTLAND CLIMATE ASTROLOGER STIRLING BURNETT TOLD PAKISTAN'S AMBASSADOR TO KYIV TO EXPECT REFUGEES REGARDLESS OF CO2 AT AN INTERNATIONAL REVIVAL MEETING STAGED BY MOLDOVA'S NEOMOONIE CREATIVE SOCIETY,DR. JUDITH CURRY ALSO APPEARED ON MOLDOVA'S ANSWER TO FOX TV
. | |||
At the request of people around the world, we asked religious leaders whether they support Creative Society or not. The first to support the Creative Society was His Holiness Pope Francis, followed by His Holiness Karekin II, Supreme Patriarch and Catholicos of All Armenians, and Amir Aziz, Imam of the oldest mosque in Germany. These religious leaders saw that the Creative Society is what all the prophets spoke about, therefore, they supported this project of all humanity. |
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE GLOBAL CRISIS. TIME FOR THE TRUTH ON THE MOLDOVAN TV
The aim of the conference was to inform humanity about the scale of the climate and environmental crises, the impending threats and the real way out of this situation.
Journalists reported that climate change is occurring at an unprecedented rate. More and more dangerous meteorological, hydrological and climatic phenomena are observed on the planet.
Severe abnormal heat waves alternate with hurricanes and heavy rains of devastating force. A record number of hurricanes occur even during presumably calm periods or in places where they are not typical at all. The number of victims of disasters is increasing every day. Millions of survivors become climate refugees. Irreversible changes on the planet are being recorded daily.

WILL BIOFUELS DRIVE
CORN PRICES HIGH AS AN ELEPHANT'S EYE?
PNAS
Environmental outcomes of the US Renewable Fuel Standard
Biofuels are included in many proposed strategies to reduce anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions and limit the magnitude of global warming...
Even without considering likely international land use effects, we find that the production of corn-based ethanol in the United States has failed to meet the policy’s own greenhouse gas emissions targets and negatively affected water quality, the area of land used for conservation, and other ecosystem processes...
We find that the RFS increased corn prices by 30% and the prices of other crops by 20%, which, in turn, expanded US corn cultivation by 2.8 Mha (8.7%) and total cropland by 2.1 Mha (2.4%) in the years following policy enactment (2008 to 2016).
These changes increased annual nationwide fertilizer use by 3 to 8%, increased water quality degradants by 3 to 5%, and caused enough domestic land use change emissions such that the carbon intensity of corn ethanol produced under the RFS is no less than gasoline and likely at least 24% higher.
These tradeoffs must be weighed alongside the benefits of biofuels as decision-makers consider the future of renewable energy policies and the potential for fuels like corn ethanol to meet climate mitigation goals.

| Professional Sports Leagues Need To Reduce Their Carbon Footprint |
SETH WYNES
February 16, 2022
North American sports leagues... bask in luxury on board hyperpolluting private planes traveling across the world. This behavior sends a mixed message.
Emissions from air travel are the most difficult to reduce in professional sports. It’s not like they can do what everyone else does, and videoconference. But reducing emissions is possible...ways to cut carbon include flying in smaller aircraft (picture something closer to business class seating for players instead of first class plus massage tables)..

PLEISTOCENE PARK

Carbon has been accumulating in the world’s permafrost for millions of years.
To slow permafrost thawing, bring in the horses
New research shows that time-traveling back to the Pleistocene could ensure a cooler future.
By Cara Giaimo
As the Arctic warms and the permafrost melts, it’s seeping out again. Experts warn that thawing permafrost is releasing hundreds of millions of tons of carbon each year, on par with the entire
footprint of Japan.
But there may be a way to slow this process down: by bringing in the cavalry. Ongoing e

xperiments in Siberia’s Pleistocene Park have shown that the presence of large herbivores—
like horses, bison, and reindeer—decelerates permafrost warming considerably. A recent
paper in Scientific Reports builds on this research, suggesting that if we let groups of
grazers roam throughout the Arctic, they could keep 80% of the world’s permafrost
intact until 2100.
Currently, the only large herbivores found in the Arctic are reindeer and musk ox,
Currently, the only large herbivores found in the Arctic are reindeer and musk ox,
and there aren’t very many of them—about 5 individuals per square kilometer.
But during the late Pleistocene, woolly mammoths, steppe bison, and other now-extinct
giants wandered all over what is now Northern Eurasia. Since 1996, researchers in
Siberia have tried to recreate that ecosystem on a small scale, keeping modern-day
herbivores, like horses and bison, in a 5000-acre area they call Pleistocene Park.
They then investigate soil temperature, moisture, and carbon content in order to
investigate what the new study’s authors call the “potential of big herbivores to save
permafrost from thawing.”

THE HIPPOBEHEMOTH:
A MIXED METAPHOR OF BIBLICAL PROPORTIONS
IS CLIMATE SCIENCE A HIPPOPOTAMUS WITH FEET OF CLAY?
 |
| WILLIAM BLAKE'S BEHEMOTH |
IN 1982 PHYSICIST RICHARD GARWIN ENLIVENED THE STAR WARS DEBATE BY CALLING ASTRONOMER ROBERT JASTROW " A HYENA" AT A SENATE HEARING.
LAST WEEK, A WATTS UP WITH THAT LEDE CALLED :
The IPCC CO2 Climate Narrative:
A “Behemoth On Clay Feet” Ready To Collapse
The earth’s history provides the solid proof that acquits CO2. The IPCC’s claim of CO2 being the dominant climate factor is a behemoth on clay feet.
Fred F. Mueller.
"when watching the aggressive, intolerant stance of the apologists of “man-made climate catastrophe” against all critics… don’t feel cowed if you are neither a rocket scientist nor an atmospheric physicist with a doctor’s degree...Don’t try to beat them by arguing on the field where they have superior knowledge...
For ordinary people, the best advice is to prove… high-flying scientific findings flatly wrong because... weak foundations invalidate the whole superstructure. Count on your common sense and keep in mind the biblical parable of the behemoth on clay feet."
Mueller's mixed metaphor splices together the Behemoth in The Book of Job, and the idol in King Nebuchadnezzar's dream in the Book of Daniel.
The "Behemoth" has nothing to do with:
"Feet part of iron and part of clay."
It makes its debut in the Bible's vivid account of a hippopotamus wallow in the River Jordan:
Behold, Behemoth, which I made as I made you; he eats grass like an ox.
Behold, his strength in his loins, and his power in the muscles of his belly.
He makes his tail stiff like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are knit together.
His bones are tubes of bronze, his limbs like bars of iron.

| BIGFOOT: A CHATSWORTH HOUSE GRAND TOUR SOUVENIR |
nine books before the prophet Daniel tells King Nebuchadnezzar that his dream of an idol with feet of clay foretells the crumbling away of the Persian Empire.
Mueller, Morano, and the rest of Old King Coal's postmodern PR flacks should reread that bit about the handwriting on the wall.

THE GREATEST COVERING CLIMATE NOW STORY EVER TOLD
The New York Times
Climate Change Enters The Therapy Room
PORTLAND, Ore. —
It would hit Alina Black in the snack aisle at Trader Joe’s, a wave of guilt and shame that made her skin crawl.
Something as simple as nuts. They came wrapped in plastic, often in layers of it, that she imagined leaving her house and traveling to a landfill, where it would remain through her lifetime and the lifetime of her children...
She longed, really longed, to make less of a mark on the earth. But she had also had a baby in diapers, and a full-time job... these conflicting forces were slowly closing on her, like a set of jaws.
In the early-morning hours, after nursing the baby, she would slip down a rabbit hole, scrolling through news reports of droughts, fires, mass extinction. Then she would stare into the dark.
Eco-anxiety, a concept introduced by young activists, has entered a mainstream vocabulary…
The Good Grief Network, a peer support network modeled on 12-step addiction programs, has spawned more than 50 groups; professional certification programs in climate psychology have begun to appear.
Dr. Doherty… one of the most visible authorities on climate in psychotherapy…after graduating from Columbia University... fell in naturally with the discipline of “ecopsychology.”… as he put it, a “woo-woo area,” with colleagues delving into shamanic rituals and Jungian deep ecology…
Ms. Black was not interested in theoretical arguments; she needed help right away…
The plastic toys in the bathtub made her anxious. The disposable diapers made her anxious. She began to ask herself, what is the relationship between the diapers and the wildfires?...
Recent research... A 10-country survey of 10,000 people aged 16 to 25… found... 45% percent of respondents said worry about climate negatively affected their daily life.
Three-quarters said they believed “the future is frightening” and 56% said “humanity is doomed.”

CLIMATE & ENERGY CRISES: SYNONYMOUS OR EPONYMOUS?
Why Environmentalists Pose a Bigger Obstacle to Effective Climate Policy than Denialists
Maarten Boudry Quillette 27 Jan 2022
In the recent Netflix smash hit Don’t Look Up, scientists try to warn the world about a comet hurtling towards Earth that is going to wipe out human civilization and possibly life itself. Except, no-one wants to hear the bad news: the US president is too busy with the midterm elections and wants to silence the scientific Cassandras, a psychopathic tech mogul comes up with a cockamamie scheme to mine the precious minerals in the comet, and everyone else is just too distracted by the latest celebrity shenanigans to pay any attention to the impending disaster. When the despairing scientists urge people to “Just look up,” the defiant answer “Don’t look up!” becomes the rallying cry of the comet denialists, whipped up by the populist US presidential administration.
All of this, of course, is a rather obvious and heavy-handed allegory for our current climate predicament. Reviews of the movie have been mixed, although many critics have praised the film for being a “spot-on” indictment of our culture, an “on-the-nose assessment” of our dealings with the climate crisis, or even “so-sharp-it-hurts.” One climate scientist writing in the Guardian opined that the movie “captures the madness I see every day.” In the same newspaper, long-time climate activist George Monbiot wrote that the movie felt like “my whole life of campaigning flash before me.”
It would be silly to take apart a work of satire, but as these glowing reviews attest, Don’t Look Up offers an—admittedly grotesque—version of a narrative about climate change that has been promulgated seriously by many people. In this story, solving climate change is mostly a matter of facing reality, breaking the power of fossil-fuel interests, and mustering the political courage to do what needs to be done. We already have the technological solutions to climate change, writes Naomi Klein in her influential book This Changes Everything, but they are sabotaged by a ruthless “elite minority that has a stranglehold over our economy, our political process, and most of our major media outlets.”
By taking that very narrative to such ludicrous extremes, Don’t Look Up has also helped me realize what exactly is wrong with it: it is a self-serving myth told by well-off Western progressives that scapegoats easy villains, distracts from genuine solutions, and stands in the way of some long-overdue soul-searching.
Don’t get me wrong: fossil fuel companies deserve all the blame they can get for their decades-long campaign of truth-obfuscation and intentionally confusing the public about the reality of man-made climate change. In some countries, most notably the US, climate skepticism has significantly delayed the actions that are needed to tackle climate change. But outright denialism of the sort skewered in Don’t Look Up has been on the wane for some time. In the United States, nine out of 10 people now agree that the consequences of climate change will be felt by current and future generations. In a survey of 10 Western countries released just before the COP26 conference in Glasgow last year, 62 percent of participants agreed that climate change is the main environmental crisis the world is facing, ahead of concerns about pollution and new diseases. Even fossil fuel companies have now finally and grudgingly come to accept that their products are heating the planet.
If you buy into the Don’t Look Up narrative, however, it is easy to gloss over one inconvenient fact: fossil fuels have been fantastic engines of progress
