Excellent article on the stupidity of net zero and how unqualified our leaders are to make scientific decisions
https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/how-many-of-this-lot-know-their-net-zero-from-their-elbow/
180
And what science genius decided that humans controlled the amount of carbon dioxide in the air. And the amount of water in the ocean. That since 1750 humans controlled the planet.
200
I just love the headline – know their net zero from their elbow. In OZ it will be – from their ‘Albo’, our corrupt PM. Along with ‘Blackout Bowen’ our very own ‘Ed Sillyband’.

Climate science is a broad field that covers physics, chemistry, geology, meteorology, mathematics, computer modelling, and a few others. Of all the politicians listed there are only two who ‘qualify’ at least a bit: Kemi Badenoch (computer systems engineering), Claire Coutinho (mathematics). It didn’t help Claire Coutinho. Let’s hope Kemi Badenoch gets up, so we can see how she goes.

Medics are already being asked to cut back on anaesthetics for operations, now the stuff propelling inhalers are in their sights
https://dailysceptic.org/2024/10/15/doctors-will-be-expected-to-consider-climate-impact-of-inhalers/
100
Don’t tell me that, Tony: I’m up bright & early to drive to hospital for my 2nd cataract surgery this morning, with my trusty inhaler close at hand (puff puff). Sometimes I wish these holy proselytisers would simply stick to saving people’s souls instead of the whole shebang dang planet.
210
I had a detached retina years ago and went into surgery clutching my blue inhaler as I used it frequently most days.. From that day to this I have never needed it again. I put it down to the anaesthetics purging my system although I have never managed to get a medic to examine what seems to me to be an extraordinary event which might have wider implications.

Hi Greg
When you can read again have a look at Wednesday # 25 if you haven’t seen it
10
I have a friend who is an anaesthetist in Melbournistan and one of his preferred anaesthetic agents is desflurane. He considers it safer and superior to other agents.
In the hospitals he visits, the woke ones have withdrawn it from use. Subservience to Gaia worship is more important than patient safety and efficacy of agents used.
I don’t know where they get this BS from:
And even if it were true, the amount of anaesthetic gases in the atmosphere must be vanishingly small, even compared to Unicorn flatulence. What supposed temperature decrease might be expected by banning this valuable substance?
Remember, the “green” movement does not value your life or welfare AT ALL.

“Diabetes, for example, is not something that people link to climate change, but the symptoms and complications become more frequent and worse for people in a world where the climate has changed.””
Uh-huh… The climate warms, we can grow more food, people eat more, diabetes increases… Didn’t they foresee this? Are they aiming for a colder world where we can’t grow enough food?? Do they think a colder world will result in less diabetes?

Lots of unexpected covid related deaths in OZ town
https://slaynews.com/news/australia-sounds-alarm-town-suffers-shocking-death-surge-among-covid-vaxxed/
Someone casually told us that they had received 7 covid inoculations but refused an eighth when offered at the same time as their flu jab. Anyone beat that?
161
COVID inoculations that do not inoculate against COVID?
7?
from the interweb … definition of ‘inoculation’
‘The act or an instance of inoculating, especially the introduction of an antigenic substance or vaccine into the body to produce immunity to a specific disease’
Something is being injected and it ain’t ^.
I personally know five or so people who were vaxxed, that traveled recently and returned COVID positive.
Something seems off.
Of course, anyone paying attention likely noticed that three years ago.
221
From the article:
(My bold.)
It seems that the more covid “vaxxed” with multiple boosters you are the more susceptible you are to the disease. No surprise there.
190
The fact checkers of the Left deny that multiple boosted people are more susceptible to covid which suggests that the opposite is probably true I.e. multiple boosted are more susceptible. They also claim covid vax is “fully effective and safe”, LoL.

There is hope
I recently called my “last resort for ancient whitegoods parts” about getting a pair of water supply solenoid valves for an ancient Hoover top loader.
As soon as I mentioned the model (200M) the woman taking the call said
“My mother still has one of those and I’m sure we got valves for her. Wait till I check.”
And they did, supplied promptly and no fuss.

I also mentioned that I had been waiting for the last spin and turning the main taps off.

He was apparently lurking near an abortion clinic.
Whatever you might think about abortion he could perhaps be seen as a likely cause of additional stress to those using the clinic.
Praying? More like anger and intimidation.
619
On a main road on the way into town there’s such a clinic.
Frequently there have been two or three “antiabortionists” standing outside holding placards. I strongly dislike the idea of abortion as a contraceptive but in some circumstances it is necessary.
The sight of these “protesters ” has always given the impression of inappropriate religious extremism.

In the last couple of days, Kamala Harris, in her Campaign for JOY, has repeated the false claim that Trump declared there would be a … “bloodbath in the country if he isn’t elected.”
This is and dangerous and despicable mischaracterization … or in common language … a lie.
He was referring to an economic bloodbath in the auto industry.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/fact-check-look-trumps-bloodbath-192900569.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly9kdWNrZHVja2dvLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=
Even the alleged fact checkers while providing the factual context, try to imply Trump was inciting violence.
We now have an intrenched Intelligentsia that is both intellectually and morally corrupt.
And it’s looking like the only champion that we have to counter them is a 78 year old bombastic real estate billionaire and TV personality.

This is off topic but note an interesting little story that seems to be true: 1.5 Billion in cash was incinerated and approx 32,000 ounces of gold got splattered along with Monsieur Nasrallah in Beirut. And Drug dealing was linked to it. But it will be damaging to the Lebanese economy so wait for the next round of Refugees. https://en.majalla.com/node/322499/business-economy/bunker-busting-bombs-could-also-be-targeting-hezbollah-cash-reserves
100
The latest little ditty if true will show that 1.5 Billion in cash and 32,000 ounces of gold were either incinerated or splattered everywhere when Nasrallah was executed in the Beirut bunker. It could have ramifications for more refugees as it will be damaging to Lebanon’s cash based economy.
https://en.majalla.com/node/322499/business-economy/bunker-busting-bombs-could-also-be-targeting-hezbollah-cash-reserves
60
What were terrorists doing with so much cash and gold?
The cash at least likely came as “aid” money from Western taxpayers and also likely from the pallet loads of cash (US$1.8 billion, used bills) plus $150 billion in other funds Obama gave to the Iranians to fund terrorism and their own nuclear bomb.
Likely a lot of the cash was converted to gold. Not even terrorists trust the Greenback under Biden.
32,000 ounces of gold is worth US$64,363,397 current price.
Now I’m looking forward to all the Red Thumbs from Lefties and their bots for saying mean things about terrorists.

China and India behind a likely record for coal demand
“Global coal demand is forecast to hit a new high in 2024, driven by strong growth from China and India as climate change tsar Matt Kean warned handouts to prolong coal stations in Australia risked creating a “moral hazard”.”
Yet Australia will face the hazard of blackouts with nothing to backup intermittent wind and solar. And zero impact on the global climate.
150
Great news for China and India.
More coal means more civilisation and an increasing standard of living.
Bad news for woke countries like Australia who are dismantling their power plants.
170
Peak coal has been forecast every year since 2013.
Wind turbines and solar panels would need to last a long time to actually reduce coal demand. A life of around 20 years is not long enough to save the coal that went into their manufacture.
110
Maybe China’s demand for coal isn’t endless.
Peter Zeihan has said for some time that China’s population is less than 1B. Ms Lei, of Lei’s real talk says it may only be 800M.
If true all assumptions about China must be amended.

No need where I am for a serious heavy duty chainsaw but I have a small electric one on a stick that gets a lot of use clearing stuff from wires, windows, gutters. More than a hedge trimmer a it can cut through arm thick branches.
52
The dreaded polesaw eh..
Sounds like you need some serious pruning or lopping work done if your saw is in constant use.
Hopefully you’re not using it around power “wires”.
The POINT of the video was to show that a LIGHTweight saw can get the job done very well.
44
I wrote “a lot” not “constant”. “A lot” is more subjective than “constant” and it is my own perception of its use rate. To me it means that it is used more than enough to justify its purchase.
Why is a semantics lesson required for every comment?
As for wires- yes, near power wires (and internet) in the sense that I’m preventing growth from heading in that direction. Not in the sense that I risk sawing one or sawing something onto one. Thanks for your concern.

GA those are imaginary barriers to enlightenment. You do not need an instrument of violence like a chainsaw. an AK47 or even barbed wire thrown into a fisherman’s nets like Captain Watson does on Sea Shepherd. Simply open your mind to new thoughts.
