- ‘Bullsh*t climate plan’: Extinction Rebellion unhappy with Biden’s climate summit: Dump cow poop on street in front of White House
Via Washingtonian Mag: Various climate change groups and leaders will join together to deliver a smaller version of New York’s “climate clock” to the White House. The original clock in Union Square counts down the amount of time left for the world to prevent the effects of global warming from becoming irreversible. ... Activists with Extinction Rebellion DC will dump “heaps of cow shit” from bright pink wheelbarrows in front of the east side of the White House “in response to Biden’s bullshit climate plan.”
Climate Depot's Morano: "There are times when even climate skeptics can wholeheartedly agree with the 'climate emergency' activists from Extinction Rebellion. Today is one of those times. Kudos to Extinction Rebellion for their clear messaging and accurate portrayal of Biden's climate plan. I join in with Extinction Rebellion and second the notion that Biden's unscientific, anti-free market & mad climate efforts deserve to be buried in cow dung."

Is it agriculture success? cumulative increase in Freshwater access? is it poverty reduction? And May I know when the climate was in order? or static?"Green energy author Rupert Darwall: "Climate disorder ... that's a good one from Macron. Any notable weather event can now be ascribed as evidence of climate disorder, as if once upon a time, the climate was orderly."

- ‘Sink into your grief’: How a ‘sustainability’ scientist confronts her ‘feelings of sadness’ over ‘climate change’
Sustainability scientist Kimberly Nicholas new book, Under the Sky We Make: How to Be Human in a Warming World: "She has struggled to address her feelings of sadness." ... Q: You write that your own approach has included learning to “sink into your grief.”
A: There are things that are changing beyond recognition right now from climate change, and that makes me really sad. And to me, grieving is an important part of the process of acknowledging that. It does draw from my experience of losing a dear friend to cancer, who died at 37. ... it shouldn’t take a terminal diagnosis for life on Earth to wake us up to the urgency of working for climate stability." ...
“My dispassionate training,” the Lund University researcher writes, has “not prepared me for the increasingly frequent emotional crises of climate change,” or how to respond to students who come to her to share their own grief. ... I have pretty much stopped flying for work. It hasn’t meant I can’t be a productive researcher. I have collaborations and projects, but I try to focus on work that doesn’t require so much travel or is easier to reach by train. The only flight I haven’t yet given up is going back to the U.S. to see my family."

- ‘Ecocide Could Become the 5th Crime Prosecuted by International Criminal Court – ‘Prosecute & imprison political leaders & corporate executives’ – Claim ecocide ‘poses a similar threat to humanity’ as Holocaust
As the Climate Crisis Grows, a Movement Gathers to Make ‘Ecocide’ an International Crime Against the Environment - "International lawyers, environmentalists and a growing number of world leaders say “ecocide”—widespread destruction of the environment—would serve as a “moral red line” for the planet." ... In 1948, after Nazi Germany exterminated millions of Jews and other minorities during World War II, the United Nations adopted a convention establishing a new crime so heinous it demanded collective action. Genocide, the nations declared, was “condemned by the civilized world” and justified intervention in the affairs of sovereign states. Now, a small but growing number of world leaders including Pope Francis and French President Emmanuel Macron have begun citing an offense they say poses a similar threat to humanity and remains beyond the reach of existing legal conventions: ecocide, or widespread destruction of the environment.
Ecocide: Should Destruction of the Planet Be a Crime? - "To prosecute and imprison political leaders and corporate executives would require a parsing of legal boundaries and a recalibration of criminal accountability."

Climate lockdowns have arrived: France to ban domestic flights where trains are available, in move to battle ‘global warming’
CNN: France is set to ban short domestic flights in favor of train services, after lawmakers approved a plan that will see several air routes discontinued to reduce emissions. MPs voted late on Saturday to some suspend some flights by domestic airlines that can be made by train in less than two-and-a-half hours, as part of a wider climate bill. If the bill passes through France's upper house, the Senate, France will join a number of European countries seeking to move away from short flights. ... Left-wing MP Danièle Obono said the government's plan to move away from a four-hour limit would "save the three routes that emit the most greenhouse gas: Paris-Nice, Paris-Toulouse, (and) Paris-Marseille." ... Last year, Austria's flagship airline was ordered to replace one of its flights with a more frequent train service, in order to meet the environmental criteria of its government bailout.

Climate Depot's Morano: "You were warned! How long until the climate demands include the banning of private automobile travel when mass transit is available?"
It's not far-fetched: See: Flashback 1975: Former Obama Science Czar John Holdren warned U.S. ‘threatened’ by ‘the hazards of too much energy’ - Chastized Americans for driving cars to the store for a six-pack of beer - Holdren: "In a society that uses its 5,000 pound automobiles for half-mile round trips to the market to fetch a six-pack of beer, consumes the beer in buildings that are overcooled in summer and overheated in winter, and then throws the aluminum cans away at an energy loss equivalent to a third of a gallon of gasoline per six-pack, this “primitive existence” argument strikes me as the most offensive kind of nonsense."

Scientists Dr. Lindzen & Happer: ‘There is no climate emergency. Americans should not be stampeded into a disastrous climate crusade’
Lindzen & Happer: "Crusaders will continue to retort that “the science is settled; it is time to act!” But real science is never settled, nor is scientific truth determined by consensus or political diktats. Agreement with observations is the measure of scientific truth." ... "The frenzy over climate resembles the medieval crusades against foreign infidels and home-grown heretics. There is even a children’s climate crusade." ...
"We are both scientists who can attest that the research literature does not support the claim of a climate emergency. Nor will there be one. None of the lurid predictions — dangerously accelerating sea-level rise, increasingly extreme weather, more deadly forest fires, unprecedented warming, etc. — are any more accurate than the fire-and-brimstone sermons used to stoke fanaticism in medieval crusaders." ...
"So far, climate crusaders have refrained from vilifying water vapor and clouds, which make the largest contribution to greenhouse warming of the earth. Carbon dioxide, demonized as “carbon pollution,” is an improbable villain." ... "More carbon dioxide is likely to cause some surface warming. But the warming would be small and benign. In fact, history shows that warmings of a few degrees Celsius — which extended growing seasons — have been good for humanity. The golden age of classical Roman civilization occurred during a warm period. Cooling periods, which were accompanied by barbarian invasions, famines, and plagues, have been bad. Neither contemporary observations nor the geological record support computer-based claims that CO2 is the “control knob” for the earth’s climate."
