Men cause all the bad things (except for this study which mostly written by women):
Men Are Worse for Climate Change Than Women Because They Love Meat and Cars
By Anya Zoledziowski, Vice
Men emit 16 percent more greenhouse gases than women because they tend to spend more money on fuel and eat more meat, among other things, a new study has found.
It’s just another man-hating, high-fashion opinion article with a peer reviewed badge and some meaningless data.
With similar reasoning I might as well write: “Women are bad for climate change because they live longer and love hair dryers.” We all know women like to turn up the heater too. And they have babies, that’s got to be bad.
But men, clearly, were the target du jour, and the “experiment” such as it wasn’t, was to compare spending of single men and single women, as if we could get finer control of atmospheric systems by getting boys to drive less, eat more indoor lettuce (that’s a thing) and get their furnishings secondhand off Gumtree.
I’m sure men eat more meat than women but they also have bigger bodies, more lean mass and need more protein, and it seems a tad unfair to expect them to adopt a female-body-composition in the quest to cool the world. (But it’s probably a transphobic sin to ask the question.) A search of the paper turned up zero instances of the term “lean mass” or “body composition”. Nutrition was not something that had occurred to researchers. If men would just eat more soy, they argued, we’d be that much closer to controlling global temperatures.
There was also no mention of lifespan, but there were three mentions of “soy”.
It all came back to spending habits – This was the kind of study you’d expect if an accountant was cross-bred with a social scientist and given a grant to solve climate change:
“These expenditures are as you would expect in a gender stereotype: Women spend more money on health care, furnishings, buy more food, clothes. Men spend more money on eating out, alcohol and tobacco, and more money on cars and fuels,” said the study’s lead author, Annika Carlsson Kanyama, with the research company Ecoloop in Sweden.
“If men spent money the same way as women, their emissions would be similar but they are not,” Carlsson Kanyama said.
Essentially, the preordained lesson in weather control was that men need to eat less meat, more plant protein and stay at home and grow lettuce in the backyard:
Meat and dairy have “much higher emissions than all their replacements,” including tofu, soy and oat milk, and vegetables, the study says, while travel by train or “staycations” offer alternatives to air and car travel. Pork, for example, is five times more polluting than tofu, while lamb is a whopping 25 times more polluting than tofu.
Holidays were the biggest source of emissions, so the researcher-activists were advocating staycations to stop the storms:
As can be seen, the lowest emissions come from staycations and a package tour by train in Sweden. The staycation category includes activities such as concerts and massage, and the package tour by train in Sweden includes train and hotel accommodation. In Sweden, trains run on electricity and the state-owned rail company (SJ) buys only electricity generated from renewable sources for their trains (SJ, 2017, p. 11). The package tour abroad by train is assumed to go to Italy and include six nights.
Men use cars more than women: (They needed a study to show that?)
“Gender is one of many factors to take into account when talking about how we can reduce emissions,” Carlsson Kanyama said. “Lowering car use, for example. Men use cars more than women, so maybe policies should target men.”
But what if single men are driving cars to pick up single women? There goes that accounting. There goes that policy…
The only thing this study shows is how human knowledge would be advanced if governments stopped funding science. The entire cause-and-effect chain from single-men-buying-petrol being a forcing on storm-surges-in-the-baltic-sea needs industrial size grants to keep it from collapsing on its own absurdity.
It takes a lot of money to create this much stupid.

Women are worse for climate change because they produce more HUMANS.
There, fixed it.

Yes, but my old Mum would say… “The tango cannot be performed alone!”
180
Never mind what the OLD Mum said, what does the YOUNG one want ? 😉 but dinna gonnae ask Megan !
110
I think Mum may not be up on things, nowadays it sorta can.
100
Mum did say the “Tango”. Not the Hippy hippy shake. The woman had class!
61
So by joining the dots the “Green” solution appears to be change all women to men then exterminate all men. OK, the left cna do it first then the rest of us will wait. When they have finished we will just change our mind. Problem fixed.

Neo femnazis hate all men and want the planet to be a big island of Lesbos.
I’m sure everything will be a peaceful paradise except for the odd clash once in a blue moon…,

Another salvo at (White) men.
Thank you femiNazis. Especially the 3rd wave ones.

And all those cosmetics.. what is used to produce them .
Although some men are now using them nearly as much, in their efforts to become women, and thus produce less CO2.
Its all so confusing ! 😉
260
Women are the primary drivers of the environmental movement, yet they are the primary consumers in our society. It’s all so confusing!
70
– Where are the raw materials and the end products transported from?
– How much energy is used in their manufacture?
And in the above I don’t simply mean the product itself but also the packaging. Have you never noticed the huge variety in the shapes and colours of the bottles?
90
You find a $200 bottle of perfume in a 50ml bottle contained in a one litre box complete with fancy wrap that probably cost more to produce than the 50 ml of cat urine in the very expensive bottle.
90
Just as the West offloads it’s carbon footprint to China, women outsource theirs to men. It was ever thus.
130
“This was the kind of study you’d expect if an accountant was cross-bred with a social scientist and given a grant to solve climate change”
Absolutely brilliant.
I’m coming round to the view that the difference between a conspiracy theory & the truth is, indeed, about 6 months. By the same token . . . they’re ahead of you.

Richard Feynman in his “Lectures on Physics” explained that if you decide to begin an intellectual argue at some point, and fail to take it to its logical conclusion you can “prove” anything. It was meant to illustrate how so many classical explanations of quantum mechanical systems are false, but it is wisdom pertaining to a much wider field of topics.

“decide to begin an intellectual argue at some point”
This Anya person is nowhere near that stage, and will almost certainly, never be. !

Just when you think we’ve reached peak stupid.
Unbelievably, all of this rubbish is based on the erroneous idea that mankind’s emissions of CO2 are harming, warming, and destroying the planet.
Now that is peak stupid.
410
It says “Men emit 16 percent more greenhouse gases than women”. Since the most important greenhouse gas is water vapour, we men had better stop drinking and sweating.
30
It is the things they are now going to do to try to stop climate change that will take us to peak stupid.
331
And beyond !!
120
It’s just one “peak stupid” when they milked the CAGW scam for all its worth. There will be other scams to come, even much bigger ones. The only way to avoid reaching the ultimate “peak” is to get rid of these stupid people once and for all. Otherwise, we loose and they win in the end. It’s either us or them. At the moment it’s them and they are winning hands down.
50
” milked ”
PeterS, it is a long con, they are currently milking with a professionally developed mil-spec industrial quality Hypermilking juggernaught. Present tense. I hope we are at peak milk, as temperatures aren’t so scary now.Cheap money to build with, and friendly super funds will extend the damage for generations.
The major blame should be on Governments who never audit or investigate.
70
Who elects “our” governments? Stupid is as stupid does.
30
True but
JC himself would probably manage only a minority vote.
Not to mention that elections from time to time appear to be only theatre.
Other times it’s not so visible.
30
But the truth of the matter is that it doesn’t matter who you vote for you still get “stupid government”.
The only difference being different levels of stupidity.
90
Correct, which is why we should stop voting for either to send them a clear message. Otherwise, we might as well not have elections.
50
and Cupidity
20
“The only difference being different levels of stupidity.”
That that difference is marginal, at best !

Similar levels but on different channels or aspects (imo)
00
If voting changed anything, they would ban it.
40
“The major blame should be on Governments who never audit or investigate.”
That’s the core of it.
One thing that needs investigating is the movement of $444 million dollars from treasury to the Great Big Barrier Reef Foundation.
I’m aware that our current PM authorised it but how can it be justified by any down to earth criteria?
Dodgy isn’t half of it.
00
And again it’s the left’s ‘divide and conquer’ strategy.
80
That’s the plan all along from day 1. The trouble is it’s working. Soon it will be relatives fighting each other over climate change, vaccinations and whatever else they come up with.
40
What? Haven’t you noticed all that yet?
I’m regarded as the idiot in my family because:
– I don’t believe CO2 causes Global Warming
– I don’t consider 3%-4% of emissions is enough to cause Climate Change
– I’m not going to
get vaccinatedhave a clotting agent/experimental medication injected.– I regard EVs as a waste of time effort and, especially, resources
– I regard cholecalciferol as an effective covid protection
Global Warming is caused by the Sun. It’s the increase in atmospheric Water Vapour (what’s causing all these floods now temperatures are starting to fall)
It’s not from CO2. Water vapour is the only atmospheric gas which carries its heat of evaporation into the air with it. Vitamin D 3 (cholecalciferol) is still all over the Med Pre-prints. EVs are pathetic, especially in Winter – I keep my batteries in the bottom of my fridge (at a constant 4 ° C to prolong their lives. I’ve got ones 10 years old in there and they still perform as new when I take ’em out and warm ’em up for use.
.
60
I will never reach peak stupid until we get rid of these people. Otherwise, they will come up with even more stupid ideas and policies. At some stage it will be too late to do anything about it and then we are all “cooked”. Balance therefore must be restored ASAP. We can start by defunding the ABC.
120
I’m sure we’re nowhere near reaching peak stupidity.
Just when you think we’ve hit the bottom of the barrel someone breaks through it and starts on the barrel beneath.
100
And there was I thinking it was turtles all the way down when in actual fact it’s quite obviously barrels.
Thanks John 🙂

To paraphrase a line from the great WWII film ‘Stalag 17″ …
“the progressives are dumb, but they ain’t stupid.”
This stuff is like bombarding the population with propaganda leaflets so they don’t know which end is up.
Can you defend against psychological warfare with facts and reason?
Stupid becomes a strategic weapon.
100
“Can you defend against psychological warfare with facts and reason?”
You can defend your own mind if you have will-power and the ability to think for yourself…
… but the general populace… not so much
20
John,
Stupid becomes a strategic weapon.
And thus the great vulnerability is its own ludicrous absurdity. It is ripe for the mocking, and even the children can see how daft it is…

Jo, as for me, my primary mode of communication is sarcasm, and I’m having trouble keeping up.
But we live in truly strange times.
Don’t know if you’re aware of John Stewart’s appearance on the Steve Colbert show …
“Oh wait, there’s an outbreak of chocolate goodness in Hershey Pennsylvania, it couldn’t possibly have originated in the Hershey Chocolate Factory.”
This observation required little talent, yet it landed like a nuke, and it was something that only John Stewart was allowed to say.
I think mockery and sarcasm. even humor, are artifacts of free societies, and these are under great threat in both our countries.
We are seeing a western version of the Red Guard and the Khmer Rouge manifest in the writer of this article.
Stupid can go from strategic to genocidal.
10
You shouldn’t argue with a stupid person, they will just drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
50
You just cant make up stuff this stupid…..
Haw haw!!
Idiots.
110
Indeed. However, they are making this stuff up and they will continue to do so until they are stopped. Our governments won’t stop them so who will? If not stopped they will continue to come up with even more stupid ideas and some if not all will morph into government policies, such as what has already happened with the CAGW scam morphing into emission reduction policies. Welcome to the real world, not the pretend world that a few even here hold to so dearly.
80
I take solace in the fact that those of us who “know stuff” about how things work ( power plants, vehicles, growing food, fixing stuff ) will likely survive whats coming much better than the weenie greenies and thier PC mates.
The fact the globalists are learning to thrown spears and own deep underground bunkers tells you they are prepared to collapse the global system and create wars, to cover thier wicked acts.
50
Yes, for those who have eyes to see and ears to hear the writing is on the wall. Globalists are unelected evil powerhouse drivers who are currently using our mindless governments who in turn are elected mostly by gullible voters who can’t even decide who to vote for while standing in a queue at the ballot box when the obvious move to make is not to vote for either major party. What’s the definition of insanity again? Any who thinks that voting for one or the other major party will make a difference really needs to stop what they are doing and open their eyes for once. But of course they won’t so we all have to learn the lesson the hard way, sadly.
50
But they just did!

Pork, for example, is five times more polluting than tofu, while lamb is a whopping 25 times more polluting than tofu.”
Love these kinds of statement, don’t know how comparison “emissions” are calculated, but in terms of what is good for the planet grazing animals wins over broad acre farming every time. Mates of mine that raise cattle and sheep have properties that are quite diverse. Tree cover, shelter belts, patches of scrub etc. These properties also have other wild life ranging from large native and introduced animals and birds down the scale to the little stuff, native mice etc. Now on the other hand broad acre farming sees every other living thing as the enemy. Anything that eats the crop at every stage needs to be controlledr. Large animals are endlessly moved on, one way or another. Seed eating birds, burrowing animals herbavoires of any kind frowned upon. While grazing animals may compact soils broad acre farming, even “no till” very heavilly reduces opportunities for any other non required species to survive. Nothing is as sterile as a wheat or soy field. So as the move to a plant based diet rolls on, the very ‘saving’ of wild life is compromised by the law of unintended consequences.

Nicely put ! 🙂
120
So where does the tofu, soy & Oatmilk come from? we can’t burn oil to pull the plow to save the corn FROM the Horse, we can’t use Oxen to pull the plow in place of the horse: they Faert too much, so where does that leave us? Put the Wife n Bairns into harness? Yes, by all accounts, that is EXACTLY what a lot of these daft fowk get up to. Leathers and chains, and studs n patterns…
Our traditional Farm has Black ( A-A ) Cattle for Beef, The dairy has Shades of Brown Coos ( Ayrshire & a few Jersey./Guernsey for fun) whilst the sheep are all White ( NC Cheviot) – some Black Faces as specimens with the Highlanders for their Horns to attract the Towrists. but we use non-electronically controlled Machines to reduce our costs of maintenance. No we are not Luddites, just doing fine with High GMs per acre and reduced Capital costs. You want cheap healthy food, come to us! ( not an Advert, more a Principle of Life-Style ) ….
130
And where is the tofu, soy and oatmilk going to be grown when most suitable land will need to be covered in solar panels, windmills and batteries (some working, some in various stages of decay) in order to produce all the “carbon free” electricity that’s going to stop climate change
60
It sounds great Saighdear!
We are much smaller; what Aussies call a ‘hobby farm’! We have an amazing variety of wildlife here. Some, such as wombats and sulphur-crested cockatoos, possums and bowerbirds, European wasps, flies and jumping-jack ants can be a darned nuisance. Most of the time, we have a small number of Black Angus steers (have had cows/calves in the past), though the last lot were Charollais. We have some Dorper crosses to mow and manure (and, theoretically, to supply meat! Still no room in the freezer yet). No shortage of wild life anyway; loads of worms, bees, etc. There was hardly a worm to be seen when we bought the place and now it’s alive with them; also dung beetles.
As to meat consumption, I eat plenty, possibly more than my husband (yes, I do have a husband, emphatically NOT ‘partner’ and I am a ‘Mrs’; mail addressed to ‘Ms’ gets sent back to the originator with a request to address it properly, thank you!).
130
Just love sulphur crested cockatoos.
20
We have Carnabys’ black with white tails and white ear muffs ( if they had external ears). All cockatoos are little buggers , they can rip off your electrical wiring , the guttering on your house and the trim on your windows . They can tear your shade house to bits, they throw honkey nuts ( gum nuts ) at you and tip prune all your trees wether they need it or not. Their beaks are so strong they can crack and eat a macadamia whereas I need to smash them with a brick. They are highly intelligent and I think have a sense of humour – they always find hassling the dog fun.
Their screech can waken the dead.
You can’t help but love them to bits.
30
We have Black Cockatoos too; they love hakea ‘nuts’ and pine nuts; lovely birds and their sound is much gentler than their sulphur-crested brethren and they don’t come and wreck our fruit tree crops. The SC mob come in huge numbers and the racket is unbelievable; as bad as the fruit bats at dusk along the Noosa River! Or worse.

Good on you Annie.
10
Oh I know : ‘sounds great’ , Annie, but reality sets in – whe have the buggers too: Pigeons and pidgeons, Craws, Possums? No – because our soil has Cu & Pb deficiency, there’s a preponderance of rabbits. And then because of the wet spells there’s the slugs -up in the Pear trees ( 10ft up young trees – never producing fruit after flowering! ) some wopses, and then there’s the Highland Midgie + biting mosquitoes and Horseflies – Oh and see this – anyone know? https://www.whatsthatbug.com/2016/06/30/male-dark-giant-horse-fly-uk/#comment-2328511 What a colorful world we live in: Enjoy! – It’s the only world we have.
30
Oh dear! Yes, plenty of great and obnoxious wild life here and in the UK. While we were living in Gloucestershire we had an endless battle with squirrels, pigeons, pheasants, slugs and snails (the latter here too) and all the bugs and fungi around. I think it is part of life, this battle to grow and store food against heavy odds! Managed to store some Cox’s Orange Pippin that we are still eating and we have citrus fruit though some (especially the limes) has been frosted.
I laughed wryly at the remembrance of Scottish midges; nightmare creatures. We caravanned by Loch Long many moons ago with all our children (40+ years ago…good grief, so long ago) and sailed on the loch in our little Mirror dinghy when it was windy and fished for mackerel when it was still; we learned to gut the fish out on the loch to cut down exposure to what our Scottish friends called Scottish Nationalist Midges who didn’t like the English! I was sailing once, making rapidly for landfall before a squall hit; too late but somehow made it without disaster!
10
Just looked at the horsefly link, horrid creature. I had a nasty bite from one at my school sports day in Reading…
We get large flies here over summer, known as March flies, though some say they are Marsh flies. Painful bite though ok afterwards. They used to drive our German Shepherd dog mad in Marysville and drove me mad trying to stop and enjoy the views while walking at Lake Mountain. You couldn’t stand still enough for long enough! Horrid things.
10
Aye, funny how today there have been several updates on that link… I was looking at another strange insect on the tractor tire this eve. Such asmall world really, ONEWORLD and after all those years of “civilisation” we remain as daft as ever. We fish from the Piers here on the E Coast or even the Beach ( next month) for the mackerel. So now I’ll have to research your area! – Gurgl Erf !
Oh OH! can midgies spread Corona? and meanwhile in the UK news deaths worse than COvid, at least 17 drown https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/jul/23/at-least-17-people-drown-in-a-week-of-tragedies-in-englands-waters

Millions of birds and animals are shot and poisoned every year globally to protect crops such as soy and almonds. That’s an awful lot of high quality protein gone to waste. What really rattles my cage is being told that someone drinks soy or almond milk lattes to protect the animals.
141
And of course the use of the word “MILK” to make it sound like something it is actually not. (like plant based burgers or steak) is also interesting. Milk by definition is the fluid produced by female mammals to support their young. I just looked at the milk bottle and it DOES NOT have an ingredients list . The label simply states “contains Milk” Now read the ingredients list for ALL non milk white beverages. The first is generally “water” followed by various things like flavours, sweeteners, emulsifiers, food colour etc. The actual selling point i.e. almond milk contains a tiny portion of almonds, just to expensive for more than a few %. Why is the term “MILK” allowed to be used when in fact what is being bought is “MILK SUBSTITUTE”. White paint looks like milk yet is called paint. A look at what makes white paint white and milk sustitute white might reveal the product of mineral sands mining, titanium dioxide.
110
If you read the FSANZ food standards code, milk is cleanly defined as the secretion from a mammary gland. So in reality all these cos making plant milk are in breach of the Food Standards by calling it milk and yet nothing is done.
60
This argument was analogously raised in Qld courts in the 1950s. Arnotts were sued for marketing Milk Arrowroot biscuits with the complainant stating there was no ‘milk’ in the product. Arnotts agreed but said they were only prepared to change their marketing if the complainant could prove their were substances originating in dogs to be found in ‘dog biscuits’. Case dismissed.
50
Yeah the N W O plan is to force everyone to bow to their pagan, earth-worshipping religion, and force people onto a vegie diet….
50
Not to mention to be forced to have vaccinations. I wonder if we will ever return back to the times when babies are sacrificed to the gods. We already murder millions of them every year so what’s the difference?
40
Its happened Peter! Today in ‘The Australian’. Coronavirus Pregnant women deemed a priority group for Pfizer.

Hence forth, I’m going to insist my wife fill up the car from now on. I don’t care how cold it is outside.

‘Men spend more money on eating out ….’
Its a lie.
40
Well with the way things are going with the draconian lockdowns hardly anyone will be eating out for some time, not until the case numbers are back to zero and nearly everyone is vaccinated, which clearly will be never. We shall see what other plans they come up with once they realise they can’t reach those goals. Perhaps they will start vaccinating us to eat less meat. That would be the next logical step given some scientists are calling for a cut in meat consumption to reduce the risk of new viruses and that vaccine passports would be a good way to make it so.
30
Only 16%? I would have thought 100%. Men are much bigger, more muscle mass, higher metabolism and eat perhaps twice as much and die younger which is something everyone knows, but only a ‘study’ could come up with a mere 16%.
And all living things are made from carbon dioxide and water and generate CO2. Almost all are carbon lifeforms. Solar energy powers the entire living world through hydrated carbon dioxide, known as carbohydrates, the combination of solar energy, carbon dioxide and water through photosynthesis. If CO2 is a problem, life on earth is the real problem. Get rid of all living things and save the planet, but for whom?
Now if the world was only populated by small vegetarian lesbian Asian women, it would be a far better place, apparently. But the competition for clothes and handbags and shoes would lead to WWIII. Which would be fought with handbags.
190
I have read that there are some lifeforms near deep volcanic vents in the Marianas trench which use a sulphur cycle, but as they said on Startrek, that’s not life as we know it, Jim.
20
And how many people believe that a 50 tonne tree is made from CO2? Or us? Or that the energy for our brains and muscles comes entirely from combustion, generating CO2? Have we become a world of ignorant self haters? Possibly.

“Scientific” papers from the Left frequently mention the supposed evils of eating meat.
We all know it is on the agenda of the UN for we proles to eat “insect protein” to “save the planet” and we hear of more and more mentions of it.
Naturally, the Elites will stay with steak, just like they’ll keep flying their private jets.
Also, I believe the supposed harm in terms of CO2 (what the Left illiterati call “carbon”) emissions of livestock agriculture are highly questionable both on the basis of actual data and in the false hypothesis that CO2 is bad for the planet.
60
David, eating insects will produce yet more examples of “the law of unintended consequences” as i mentioned up at #8. To produce large tonnages of insects they need to be fed. Just as the artificial demand for ethanol redirected food crops into alcohol production, causing a spike in food crop prices and a subsequent shortage of some staple grains and legumes. So we need to increase production of “insect food crops” to the detriment of human food production. Crazy. Currently grazing animals do a pretty good job of converting herbage to meat proteins but lets stuff up this process and try to mass farm insects. Have no idea how to do a comparison between insect protein versus grazing animal protein kilograms per hectare produced but I would put money on grazing animals. Back to saving biodiversity, grazing animals eat a wide range of plant types. insect food will require monoculture production to maxiimize output. I cannot see eating insects as being the way forward.

Apparently Soccer Moms weren’t considered when this claim was invented.
60
Which bought to my mind the observation by a car seller “it’s the women who always go for the biggest SUV”.
70
Men use cars more than women.
Do a study on how attractive, young women find a man with a car, vs one without.
50
That’s gender profiling by the police.
20
It is absurd to make distinctions about resource consumption between men and women.
Much male activity is done in support of women both on an individual basis and global basis.
For example, it is typically men who produce food in organised agriculture as exists in Western Society and it is usually men who make major decisions about how society is run (usually with strong influence from women in the background).
The only way such a study as this would make sense, even if there was a point to it, is if men and women lived completely independent lives in separate independent societies with no interaction between men and women except for men providing their DNA as required for breeding.
80
Men build the ships planes and cars that women use to get around.

So far this is straight out of their stupid fantasy world + delusional nonsense.
Don’t forget Willis Eschenbach tried to find their so called climate emergency and found NOTHING. SEE link below.
What a load of fantastic BS and fra-d. Go Willis.

When you factor in the emissions from the washing machine, dryer, dishwasher, oven, cooktop and the iron, this definitely exceeds the TV’s energy consumption. Also, staying at home requires constant heating of the house in winter and cooling in summer, as most women can only survive within a very small temperature range, unlike the average male, thus creating a large energy bill. The female emissions also become even larger when you include the constant purchase of shoes, clothing and other personal items, compared with a man’s single pair of shoes, shorts and a T shirt. 😉
50
Shoes – you mean thongs? ( not sure if you are an Aussie or US). If US, then flip flops.

In the USA, thongs are for one of the other genders (ie not male).

The real issue here is that more women believe in global warming and are becoming hysterical.
https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2015/12/02/women-more-than-men-say-climate-change-will-harm-them-personally/
71
I know quite a few women who certainly do NOT believe in GW EG!
50
Though I do believe hysteria is being hyped to a remarkable degree in all sorts of things.
50
Yes of course, its a gross generalisation, nevertheless the broader population of women, who have no interest in science and are left leaning, will undoubtedly be ignorant on the subject of AGW.
31
BTW Dr John Christy addressed the GWPF and put all their claims to the test and like Willis found NOTHING. BIG SURPRISE, NOT.
His evidence about their so called HOT SPOT was very instructive.

At least this “science” won’t cause as much damage to mankind as the “science” that escaped from the Wuhan Lab.
Watched Fauci get taken apart by Sen. Ran Paul at the Congressional hearings. Fauci is guilty of funding that virus experimentation and needs to be fired if not jailed. No wonder he was dismissive very early about the dangers to mankind, masks were not necessary etc, then masks could help, then two masks were necessary, then three masks.
Ran Paul is a medical doctor and Fauci had the hide to say he did not know what he was talking about.
70
Fauci is evil to the core. He admitted that he funded the research conducted at the lab yet fails to take responsibility for the outcome. He even admitted a long time ago before the pandemic that the research is worth the risk of a pandemic. How evil can one get? Even the Naz1s wouldn’t have gone this far with their own people.

Women prefer cats. Do vegan cats exist?
https://earthtalk.org/carbon-pawprints/

One thing an be said in the cat’s favor. They kill far more bitds than wind mills

10
I’d like to see a cat trying to kill a windmill.
82
I’d like to see a bird of prey try to kíll a windmill.
10
Are cat kills overstated? They kill the “disposable” birds but even the peaceful dove thrives in the burbs, the cat’s domain. That’s hard for me to say, I feed and water the little ones and enjoy their antics, but they do have larger broods and more than one a year. I suspect that every time I get a nice big flock of nutmegs visiting some B nets them. So people
killcatch more than cats.Raptors, by contrast, are a risk to the cats and have one or two chicks a year. They put a lot of effort into their rearing. A bit like lions and rabbits really. A cat catching a sparrow is sad, a windmill killing a raptor is a tragedy.
00
Dogs and cats are obligate carnivores meaning they must eat meat to survive.
Nevertheless there are many Leftists who cruelly feed their carnivorous pets vegan diets, often with terrible heath consequences such as blindness or death.
There are even vegan pet food brands for carnivorous pets.
https://www.peta.org/living/animal-companions/vegetarian-cats-dogs/
60
Cats yes but dogs are facultative carnivores (note they are not omnivores or hypercarnivores). Both will occassionally choose to ingest fibrous plant material to aid digestion.
In humans, the male rarely knows how to handle meat.
04
Wild dogs regularly consume intestines of herbivores, thereby consuming vegetable matter, albeit partially digested.
20
Does this explain why cats lick a höles but dogs are into coprophagia? Yes I know rabbits are disgusting

Possibly. That’s a specialised area and I am not up with the literature.

Gee, what happens when one minority names another minority then white men get the blame for the problem?.
I am under the impression that it was one group of natives , ( Cree Indians I seem to recall ) who called the ice dwelling peoples “Eskimos” simply meaning “eaters of raw meat” Maybe this bit of my learning has also been updated to erase more history.

Thanks for the heads up Gee aye. Seems most of what I said was correct, with the exception that it was deemed to be a word from the Algonquin language.

Law of unintended consequences::
Windmills kill birds of prey which eat mice and other small animals.

Could a windmill result in an overall net carbon increase by killing the birds that eat the mice that eat the grain that captures the carbon?

Of course the health and wealth of humans has increased many times since 1800 and Rosling’s BBC video proves the case.
Over the last 200,000+ years human life expectancy was under 40, but in just a few years the UK started the world on the path to health and wealth using FOSSIL FUELS.
Dr Rosling’s 120,000 data points wrecks all the arguments of the crazy L W extremists and yet they still cling to their delusional nonsense?

?
I hope they take supplements.
26
G’day Tom, its been awhile, men like a carnivore diet too.
‘Foods to eat include beef, chicken, pork, lamb, turkey, organ meats, salmon, sardines, white fish, and small amounts of heavy cream and hard cheese. Butter, lard, and bone marrow are also allowed. Proponents of the diet emphasize eating fatty cuts of meat to reach your daily energy needs.’
40
Just add to the list of things that climate change (real or imagined) causes – an increase in stupidity.

OH and the CSIRO tells us that the entire SH is a co2 net SINK and the NH is the co2 net SOURCE. See link to their Cape Grim Tassie site and their quote, under seasonal variation.
Don’t forget SH population is about 0.8 billion and NH is about 7 billion. When will these fools WAKE UP?
https://www.csiro.au/en/research/natural-environment/atmosphere/Latest-greenhouse-gas-data
“Seasonal variation”
“Carbon dioxide concentrations show seasonal variations (annual cycles) that vary according to global location and altitude. Several processes contribute to carbon dioxide annual cycles: for example, uptake and release of carbon dioxide by terrestrial plants and the oceans, and the transport of carbon dioxide around the globe from source regions (the Northern Hemisphere is a net source of carbon dioxide, the Southern Hemisphere a net sink)”.
60
If there ever was a need for a Great Reset, the CSIRO certainly needs one. Over the decades it has morphed more and more into a factory mostly of fake science.
80
Interesting in that the Southern Hemisphere is much colder than the North and far less land so more ocean surface, so the sink conclusions follows trivially because world CO2 levels are set solely by ocean surface temperature. The human contribution is negligible, unless you want to get/keep a job with the UN/IPCC, CSIRO or any Australian university.
70
The annual decadal graph is interesting, matches Cook’s escalator, a chicken and egg thing.

But women have babies and some grow into men, so women are worse!

Every woman in the world, since humans existed, had a Father.

In my experience of feminists, they generally excuse their own fathers who, for reasons never explained, are the ONLY example of a ‘nice’ male. Feminazis, OTOH, tend to chuck Dad into the skip along with all the other Mere Males.

Even “our” very own CSIRO is promoting insect consumption.
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-05-14/csiro-wants-australia-eat-bugs-edible-insect-industry-road-map/100127974
And insect consumption “empowers” women by becoming insect farmers. Let’s forget about the primitive property rights systems in primitive countries which disempower women in the first place.

“Despite this, factors affecting insect populations overseas – such as habitat loss, [global warming] and insecticide use – most likely also apply in Australia.
Bushfires and drought on this continent can also affect insect populations.” (What, not floods?)

More on Human’s global life expectancy INCREASE since the end of Dr Rosling’s video in 2010.

I looked at the publication record of one of the lead authors, Annika Carlsson-Kanyama.

30
But, but… we open all those doors for women. All those opening doors creates convection which in turn drives the wind turbines on all those wind generation installations.
20
But the next conclusion that that research omitted is that since men create more CO2 they make the bigger contribution to the greening of the planet, since CO2 is plant food. Contributing hugely to the natural and beneficial “carbon cycle”, knowledge of which was once taught in schools.

Almost the award for the junk science article of the week. I say almost. The other half likes to watch ABC TV breakfast during her early morning exercise session, mostly because no ads. There was one of those bottom of screen pull through news item summaries. Apparently a group of scientists have found that cockatoos actually learn from each other, you know, like mimic each other. My goodness who would have thought? Another one – CSIRO have issued a few tweets over the last couple of weeks. They have proudly announced they are being funded to determine if there are any treatments (apart from vaxs)for COVID. I kid you not.
50
So, take the cash and pull a couple of papers on Ivermectin and HCQ from the bottom draw.
Act suitably surprised by results (who wouldda thunk!)…then, don’t tell anyone and put the papers back in the bottom draw (to be ignored the next time we have a novel virus “Pandemic”).
(Other Peoples’) Money well spent. Seems like tough work being a pseudo-scientist…but someone has to do it, apparently.
70
No, the CSIRO will be much more diligent in discrediting any proposed existing treatments – they will engineer studies that are guaranteed to fail by using inadequate or excessive dosages at inappropriate times (like the veterans study in the US where they administered massive doses of Hydroxychloroquine when patients were at death’s door).
I actually heard they were going to investigate blood serum and plasma treatments.
10
“if governments stopped funding science”; correction to that; “if governments stopped funding pseudo-science”.
80
That’s like asking for our government to stop funding the ABC propaganda machine. It ain’t going to happen with the current crop of politicians.
60
They cannot stop funding the ABC overnight because it will be seen as a right wing bloodless coup.
Better to wait and enjoy the moment, already the ABC is slowly moving back to the centre on climate change. That is, they will try and present alternative scientific viewpoints and let the people decide.
The floods in China and Europe are just the start of extreme weather events and the people demand the truth. Is this really caused by CO2?
Women of the world are pretty gullible on the issue, because the maternal instinct has clouded their judgement, so we need Aunty to sober up.
32
I don’t watch the ABC so I don’t know if they are backsliding. I doubt it very much that is the case since the push for emission reductions is gathering pace everywhere.
40
I’m hoping it’s a sign of desperation that they are ramping up the rhetoric in the face of ennui due to the predictions from the models never eventuating.
20
It’s true that their mantra will one day wear too thinly but there will be others to take its place. The current vaccine hysteria and scaremongering is ripe to become that replacement. Give a little bit longer and they will be telling us we must have vaccine passports for our own good and people without them will be stopped from entering various places of work and business. I wonder if that will be the moment people rise up and collectively say NO! Time will tell.
20
Women are social creatures, so tend to go with the crowd.
20
Which is why we need to get the ABC back to the centre, the science is not settled and people need a chance to evaluate different viewpoints.
Women are fascinating.

NASA/RSS has been reporting measured average global Total Precipitable Water (TPW AKA total atmospheric water column) monthly since Jan 1988. They measure it using satellite based instrumentation with a reported accuracy of about 1 mm (3.4%). The method is described at http://www.remss.com/measurements/atmospheric-water-vapor and all the data including the latest measurements at http://data.remss.com/vapor/monthly_1deg/tpw_v07r01_198801_202101.time_series.txt
The correct way to calculate TPW change is described at Section 8 in http://globalclimatedrivers2.blogspot.com where TPW is simply called water vapor (WV). This calculation uses the saturation vapor pressure vs temperature for water and the accepted assumption that WV increases with temperature at the same rate that saturation vapor pressure increases with temperature.
The methods used in GCMs either calculate the WV with the result being that relative humidity (RH) remains approximately constant with increasing temperature or it is simply assumed that RH remains constant with increasing temperature. The WV increase rate calculated assuming constant typical RH (which can be done using a psychrometric chart) is not significantly different from the WV increase rate calculated using saturated vapor pressure vs temperature.
The results of the three methods are shown graphically in Fig 2.8.1 at http://globalclimatedrivers2.blogspot.com . As shown, the measured WV has been increasing faster than possible from measured average global temperature increase. This demonstrates that the human contribution to warming has been caused by WV increase not CO2 increase.
This means that limiting CO2 which is the object of the Green New Deal will have no significant effect on climate. I wonder why NASA/RSS has stopped reporting measured WV.
70
Need to look both ways?
Thanks for your work and great information. Does cloud seeding factor in what is happening with atmospheric water vapor? Seems the exploits of both China and UAE have had dramatic effects in the last couple of days for both countries. UAE has attributed their “success” to cloud seeding but seems no one is mentioning the possible link in China’s case despite its long history and “successes” such as cleaning up the weather for the 2008 Olympic Games. With so many countries now following a cloud seeding program (India, Indonesia, USA etc) instead of just looking at the rain falling down is anyone looking at the excess chemicals that fall up?
The article linked above for China comments how:
“Scientific American has documented a “strange pumping effect” whereby monsoon winds sweep pollution from India and China to incredible altitudes – as high as 18 kilometers. From there, the pollutants are spread globally through strong horizontal winds in the stratosphere.” Enter THAT man Bill Gates and his chalk in space idea.
Cheers
50
Cloud seeding probably has an effect on where the water comes down but only a temporary effect on how much WV there is. Of course if more is going up than coming down, WV will increase and WV has been on an increasing trend of about 1.49% per decade (through Jan 2021). WV has been increasing globally including where there are no clouds. IMO the effect of local cloud seeding on average global WV has been insignificant.
10
If climate change was a woman and all those men scientists trying to understand it.
It’s a trap.

Feminists have won the battle of the sexes. This is obvious in children’s books and TV soaps and adverts, which are a barometer of our culture. Female characters are mainly smart, confident and attractive, whereas men are shabbily dressed losers and wimps, or evil. Provision and childbearing are the respective gifts of husband and wife to one another, and comprise the social contract between men and women. (Only women can have children, and while they are doing so they cannot provide for themselves.) Feminists acknowledge only one half of it, and in a process of cultural emasculation they have altered society to do the same. The Welfare State now subsidises women who get pregnant without ever marrying, yet penalises the men who impregnate them. The resulting society has yet to prove it is viable for more than one lifetime.

“I am Woman, here me roar”…the anthem of the 1970s. Fifty years later, nothing much has changed. Women have won the Sex War, and thus society goes down the drain (gurgle gurgle gurgle).

The female half-tribe is slowly discovering they’ve won ashes. An unnecessary gender blitzkrieg they were foolish enough to go along with, and have lost all chance for love, fulfillment and the reason to be in the process. Better make sure your clone, or pet egg is a female, because boys growing up now are going to detest their mothers and other females in the post-2000 ‘connected’ but completely disconnected world these boys are lobbed into.
It’s always easier to burn the local supermarket than it is to go shopping in the ashes. So what now sisters? Given most men will want nothing more to do with you? Brothers, fathers and sons won’t visit anymore or talk to you. It’s easy to pretend these unfolding repercussions wont matter. Most women will discover too late the damage is done, and it’s permanent. Males have given up on females in droves as they don’t want to deal with a ‘lady’ again. It’s revealing to listen to ordinary men describe their most recent relationships with women. I did this back in March and April, and not one of the men I spoke to had a high opinion of females or wanted another relationship with one. It was shocking to hear, but was to same story of how badly a man was treated by a female, usually several of them in a row, quite often as a group. All of the worst aspects of females are on open display these days and boy are they horrible vile people.
Females worth knowing are rare. 30 years ago that was not the case. Currently I do know only 3 ladies that I like to talk with when I see them, but most females are incredibly nasty and vindictive people. They are skilled at false hate and making others suffer unnecessarily with lies. The nastiest most dishonest people I’ve met have all been females. I’ve met two genuinely nasty males during the past 25 years and both were criminals and former inmates. Men rarely behave in nasty ways, I can count the nasty ones I deal with on one hand. But females seem to have a barely hidden sea of bottomless venom. The naive notion females are a ‘fairer sex’ has proven another abominable lie. I doubt any male would believe it anymore. In my experience males are the people who treat people fairly, and always have. I can’t trust females, few men do, I’ve been back-stabbed by females far too many times and its always for no justifiable reason. Just overflowing female nastiness, no point looking for a specific reason for it, it’s because they are female. Men don’t do this, even the rough ones are generally honorable and fair, they actually go out of their way to help others. But females rarely do that. If they do, beware, they’re setting you up. They’ll do something really nasty, soon. Pointless blaming them for it, it;s what they do, what fills them with cheap thrills. Females who are not causing needless dramas or spitefully harming a man is probably occupied taking 3 dozen selfies, or an an image of their avocado on toast, just in case someone ever wants to know exactly what that looked like.
And males are responsible for the imaginary climate-change, complete with an imaginary ‘crisis’, ’cause appendage. Why am I not surprised to hear this coming from a feminist ‘VICE’ TV maleophobe waffling a stream of feral lies about the oppressive imaginary patriarchy? Life must be tough under such male oppression. These horrid people just spew hatred at men at every opportunity. There is no point at which they intend to stop.
I don’t believe they even have a cause to be doing it. It’s truly causeless, they just can’t stop is all. It would not occur to them that maybe it’s them. three decades ago you’d never hear from these quacks, they’d be in a psyche-ward for 2 or 3 month of the year, or at a pub, or chasing a man to pay the rent for them, and make his life hell. But now they all have a mobile phone for those 2 or 3 months when they really shouldn’t have one. So the causeless hatred of all things male spews into the either without restraint.
Bad gender! Stop destroying my femi-climate-fantasy!
I feel sorry for the young girls who fail to understand that the male-haters are probably having another bipolar episode and have a mobile phone with them to let everyone know the gory details of their delusional state of mind. That seems to be what is giving females everywhere this notion that it’s OK to destroy all relationships with the men in their lives. I do wonder what if anything will ever break-up this endless vicious string of lies and attacks on men who’ve done nothing to them.

“‘Right-handed man’ almost masturbates to death: medical case study”
This fellow redefined “mind-blowing sex” after he suffered a life-threatening stroke while repeatedly masturbating. Now, medical experts are saying he’s lucky he escaped the ultimate unhappy ending.
He should have used his left hand.”

“Men worse for climate change than women.” A meaningless sentence. Why accept the premise? Why even discuss it?
It embodies many* scientifically illiterate frauds being perpetrated on humanity to facilitate the Great Reset.
First it accepts the myth that CO2 is responsible for the small slow and steady incremental rise in temperature;
second it accepts the myth that human CO2 output is large enough to affect the rise in CO2, hence temperature;
third it ignores the fact that a rise in CO2 is a very good thing – it’s what Earth needs for life to flourish;
fourth it accepts that the gradual natural rise in temperature is a bad thing;
fifth it accepts that man has not the time nor ingenuity to mitigate any undesirable consequences should they occur.
*Many, related to the subject; far worse is the Covid and vaccine scam with which, God willing, a second Nuremberg will deal.
And should any untoward effects develop, there will be ample time for mitigating strategies to deal with them to be developed, rather than expend billions turning the clock back on people’s lifestyles and inconvenience people
