Reducing inequality is essential in tackling climate crisis, researchers argue – Urge ‘progressive taxation rates’ & ’employer-subsidized low-carbon meal options’

Phys.org – University of Cambridge: In a report just published in the journal Nature Climate Change, researchers argue that tackling inequality is vital in moving the world toward Net-Zero—because inequality constrains who can feasibly adopt low-carbon behaviors.

University of Cambridge: “It’s increasingly acknowledged that there’s inequality in terms of who causes climate change and who suffers the consequences, but there’s far less attention being paid to the effect of inequality in changing behaviors to reduce carbon emissions,” said Dr. Charlotte Kukowski, a postdoctoral researcher in the University of Cambridge Departments of Psychology and Zoology, and first author of the report.

The researchers say there is lack of political recognition of the barriers that can make it difficult for people to change to more climate-friendly behaviors. … Cooking more meat-free meals: plant-based meat alternatives currently tend to be less affordable than the animal products they are trying to replace.

They suggest a range of policy interventions, such as urban planning to include bus and bike lanes and pedestrian-friendly routes, progressive taxation rates on wealth and income, and employer-subsidized low-carbon meal options.

Morano: You think the climate activists would love this ‘climate migration’ because the Los Angeles Times with Bill McKibben, a climate activist, actually wrote that they want more Hispanics from the Southern border coming in because they’re less likely to vote for ‘climate deniers.’ They actually want the Hispanics to come in because they think they’ll vote Democrat, and they said the quiet part out loud on the pages of the LA Times.

See: Bill McKibben in LA Times in 2013 urged more immigration to stop ‘white America’ from ‘pulling the lever for climate deniers’ – McKibben urged illegal immigration so ‘Latinos’ could replace ‘white Americans’ voting impact – ‘Election after election, native-born…citizens pull the lever for climate deniers’ ‘By contrast…77% of Latino voters think climate change is already happening’

Morano: VP Kamila Harris looked for ‘root causes’ of illegal immigration and blamed climate change. The bottom line is that it’s the climate agenda that is causing massive pain and suffering for people around the world. Look at what happened in Sri Lanka when they went all in on the climate agenda with farming. They overran the presidential Palace they tried to impose the same thing in the Netherlands, but the farmers fought back. Now it’s coming here for in the U.S., we have John Kerry coming after the American farmers, and the climate agenda is coming for Transportation. They’re coming after our energy. This is what causes displacement, it is bad policy —  not climate change —  which has a 99% drop in climate-related deaths over the last 100 years.

Morano: Gore’s saying we’re going to have to give up our freedoms unless we tackle climate change. He’s basically saying give up your freedom now to the World Economic Forum, to the UN, to the World Health Organization — which wants to declare climate a public health threat. …

Gore’s basically saying give up your freedom now, or else you’ll have to give it up later. The problem is if we give up our freedoms now to fight climate change with his agenda, we’ll never see our freedom again. They won’t grant it back to us.

Watch: Morano on Fox: ‘We Never Had A Vote’ – Blasts Biden Admin For Bypassing Voters To Impose Green Agenda

Morano: “We never had a vote. It’s all been decided with executive orders, mid-level bureaucrats, corporate-government collusion, executive agencies,” Morano continued. “Do we need to start limiting meat eating? That’s the other question. The answer’s no to both…I’m arguing we need to challenge this entire premise.”

“It’s climate policy, not climate change, that is going to drive migration, and the same was true with COVID, by the way,” Morano said. “People in droves leaving California and other states. What we’re finding is people in Sri Lanka followed climate policy to the collapse of their government, their presidential palace was overrun. The farmers in the Netherlands were subjected to climate policy, and they almost crushed all the small family-run farms.”

“They are using climate fear to literally restrict and collapse energy, agriculture, transportation, go right after our freedom of movement,” Morano said.

Study dissects breathing’s climate impact by race & gender! – Claims ‘African populations more likely’ to warm the Earth than ‘Asian populations’ with their breath & burps & claims women warm the planet more than men!

Study dissects breathing’s climate impact by race & gender! Finds ‘Human respiration has a net warming effect on the atmosphere’ – Claims ‘African populations more likely’ to warm the Earth than ‘Asian populations’ with their breath & burps & claims women warm the planet more than men! – Via Kenneth Richard

Humans “contribute to global warming” by exhaling greenhouse gases like methane and carbon dioxide 16 times per minute – 

Africans are reported to more likely to warm the Earth with their breath and burps than other ethnic groups, and that women (38%) are more likely than men (25%) to be MPs (‘methane producers’) too.

“It has been reported in previous studies that region of birth or ethnicity is a strong indicator of the likelihood to be an MP, with African populations much more likely to be MPs than Asian populations.”

“The results reported in this study are consistent with most previous studies that found a higher percentage of MPs in females (38%) when compared to males (25%).”

Study in the journal ‘Australian Feminist Studies’ uncovers ‘a climate of misogyny’ with ‘climate denial’ spreading from ‘older White men’

Cover image for Australian Feminist Studies 

Statistician Dr. Matt Briggs analyzes wacky new paper: A paper in the journal Australian Feminist Studies titled “A Climate of Misogyny: Gender, Politics of Ignorance, and Climate Change Denial – An Interview with Katharine Hayhoe” by Sophie Bjork-James and Josef Barla. Yet this paper is a catalog of feelings of these three people—transcribed from a Zoom call! Which, I suppose, is precisely what a paper in a feminist journal should be. …

According to her official bio at Vanderbilt, co-author Sophie Bjork-James “has engaged in long-term research on both the US-based Religious Right and the white nationalist movement.” Sophie Bjork-James starts us off: “We find it striking that many of the voices downplaying or denying the reality of climate change are also those who forcefully oppose gender equality.”

Katharine Hayhoe says “research has shown”—research!—“that climate denial is not exclusively but predominately a male-dominated area and it is usually older White men.”

ABSTRACT: “In this interview, climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe discusses with Sophie Bjork-James and Josef Barla: the issue of gender inequality in the natural sciences; the toxic entanglement of right-wing extremism, sexism and anti-science rhetoric in discourses on climate change; the far-reaching institutional and social consequences of the Trump administration’s attacks on climate science research and advocacy; as well as the politics of ignorance and promising ways to rebuild trust in shared values and a shared world in the face of multiple planetary crises and challenges from climate change to biodiversity loss to the rise of far-right extremism.”
