Disney Heiress Arrested at Climate Protest Against Private Jets at Hamptons Airport



Fox News reports the left-wing heiress added her voice alongside members of New York Communities for Change, Planet Over Profit, and Sunrise Movement NYC, on the East End of Long Island.

They blocked the main entrance of the East Hampton Airport, which serves private jet and charter flights, in Wainscott, New York, to challenge its use by the rich, the powerful, and the privileged.

The protesters claimed their aim was to disrupt the “exclusive vacations of wealthy fossil fuel investors and polluters driving the climate crisis.” Disney made her own statement, saying:

As a person who has been privileged enough to use private jets, I know it’s hard to give up a luxury that is special. But I also know that the time has passed for spewing greenhouse gasses like this merely for our personal comfort.
The events of the past week alone, with Earth’s average temperature hitting an all time high, drought and fatal heat waves across the country, floods in Vermont and New York, and ocean temperatures around Florida well over 90 degrees, should remove all doubt once and for all. The wealthiest 1% uses as much greenhouse gas as the entire bottom 50%. It is time for real change and this is the most obvious place to start.

Was this after she few in on a private jet. You can't make up the stuff these people say and ignore what they do.

Just Stop Oil is hoping to 'paralyze' London this week (Is it working?)




This group has been disrupting events for days. David highlighted some of the incidents which happened over the weekend. But there is apparently a concerted effort focused on shutting down traffic all around the city of London this week. Monday they held 30 separate disruptions.


It marked the most Just Stop Oil protests so far on any one day, with a total of 30 slow marches with between six and 25 protesters each.
The Met used “Section 12” powers to remove activists on streets across London on Monday morning as they tried to clog the capital’s roads.
Dozens of them were in Whitehall and Westminster, the City of London, Islington, Bermondsey, Paddington and Whitechapel as officers compelled them to get out of the street during their notorious slow walks…
It was reported over the weekend that the demonstrators hoped to “paralyse” London in one of its biggest protests yet, having seemingly taken over from the disruptive activism of Extinction Rebellion.

So if a cop came across the painters and yelled stop. then the painter turned toward the cop with paint sprayer in hand, could the cop shoot them to not be attacked with paint.

Let’s see how many old-timey words for “nonsense” I can squeeze into one article about 56 years of climate change balderdash.

Soap-dodging prairie fairies have been ringing the Chicken Little climate klaxon for at least five decades. That means we are celebrating more than 50 years of “the sky is falling” horsefeathers.

Every climate gloomster has one thing in common: when it comes to their grim predictions for the planet, they’re all batting zero.

A lot of them also seem to ignore actual climate-related emergencies, like the ongoing train derailment trauma in East Palestine, Ohio, where residents suffered vomiting, rashes, nose-bleeds, and bronchitis as they watched their pets and livestock die.

Let’s take a look at some of the greatest pork pies ever told about the yet-to-be-seen calamity that will end humanity and deliver the planet back to the apes.

Let’s start this party by clown-slapping the snarling, climate-sourpuss Greta Thunberg female Al Gore, who flies around the world on jet-engined sky killers to smilingly “get arrested” in front of conveniently located media cameras.

Thunberg, arguably the most famous doomtard representing planet Earth, insanely predicted in 2018 that every human would be snuffed out if we didn’t ditch fossil fuels by the spring of 2023.

Nobel Prize winner SILENCED by IMF after saying ‘I don’t believe there is a climate crisis'




Clauser has been critical of other climate models for not taking into account the factor of visible light reflected by cumulus clouds that cover the earth and made a model that took it into account. Failing to incorporate the factor of clouds reflecting the light back into space overestimates climate temperature increases.

Originally scheduled for July 25, the talk has technically been "postponed" by the IMF.

More recently, Clauser spoke at the Korea Quantum Conference where he stated, “I don’t believe there is a climate crisis," and said that "key processes are exaggerated and misunderstood by approximately 200 times.”

Clauser is a skeptic of climate change as it is presented in the scientific community and is on the board of directors for the CO2 Coalition, an organization that believes CO2 is helping life on the planet.

The IMF, the organization that silenced Clauser, addresses worldwide topics such as climate change and COVID-19. It is also a partner of the World Economic Forum. On its website, the IMF says that climate change is "a major threat to long-term growth and prosperity, and it has a direct impact on the economic wellbeing of all countries."

Holy smoke and mirrors: Solar panels THREE TIMES more carbon intensive than natgas?




The report from Environmental Progress points out a fatal flaw in the solar panel data all of this frenzied switch to renewables is based on: it’s either industry sourced, not independantly verified, OR…it just flat out DOESN’T EXIST

…Information unearthed by Environmental Progress points to a gaping oversight in how the figures influencing government net zero policy and investments in solar worldwide are compiled and collated due to the difficulty of collecting accurate information out of China, especially for the purification processes used to create silicon wafers.
Key to this blind spot is that the source material for most of the assessments is provided by a small number of data compilers, many if not all of them working in collaboration with the International Energy Agency (IEA). The data is voluntarily submitted by the industry in response to academic surveys. The nature and profile of the respondents is never publicy revealed, so that there is the potential for conflicts of interest to develop.
A further puzzle is how that data feeds into an organization called Ecoinvent, a Swiss-based non-profit founded in 1998 that dubs itself “the world’s most consistent and transparent life cycle inventory database”. This data is relied on by institutions worldwide, including the IPCC and IEA itself, to calculate their carbon footprint projections, including the sixth assessment report published as recently as March 2023.
Based on such data, the IPCC claims solar PV is 48 gCO2/kWh. But, as we’ll see below, a new investigation started by Italian researcher, Enrico Mariutti, suggests that the number is closer to between 170 and 250 gCO2/kWh, depending on the energy mix used to power PV production. If this estimate is accurate, solar would not compare favorably with natural gas, which is around 50 gCO2/kWh with carbon capture, and 400 to 500 without.
Over the course of a four-month investigation, Environmental Progress has confirmed that Ecoinvent — perhaps the world’s largest database on the environmental impact of renewables — has no data from China about its photovoltaic industry. Meanwhile, the ultimate source of the IEA’s supposedly public data on PV carbon intensity is confidential and the data, therefore, unverifiable.

So wait a minute here. Chinese manufactured solar panels have taken over the field and we are still told that solar is much cleaner – even with the obvious drawbacks and limitations I’ve gone over here a million times – that any natural gas powered electricity source. AND THERE IS NO CHINESE DATA IN THE SYSTEM

I think we all know how the Chinese came to be at the forefront of solar panel manufacturing – the same way they’ve done everything else. They don’t have an innovative bone in their collective billion bodies, but what they do have is conniving. Plus cheap labor, no environmental strictures, and enterprise once they steal what they need to make something. And that’s exactly what happened with the solar industry. There were once German leaders in solar technology who are long out of business because of the Chinese filching their designs.

The fact that these were all Western technologies worked in the favor of the Chinese, too, as far as general acceptance without question concerning the “green” bono-fides for their products.

There's a kind of weird irony about using an oil based product to deface something in protesting the use of oil.

Or of course, wearing a reflective clothing to show that you're protesting - that was made almost entirely from oil products. You might as well make coonskin caps the hat of choice for people opposing fur.
