Since when do progressives give the slightest shit about high oil prices?

Despite calling for higher prices for years, we’re supposed to believe that progressives had a recent epiphany or at least that’s what they would like you to think if you happen to have the memory of a gold fish.  In one of those ironies that so frequently seem to define the modern world, Yahoo Finance… Continue reading Since when do progressives give the slightest shit about high oil prices?

The LA fires and the reality that not all politics is bad, though not all arguments are equal

We should condemn those who would make sport of anyone’s suffering for any reason, but in a world where everything is political, there is nothing wrong with stating your opinion on what led to the destruction and what could have done better once it was unleashed. The fires in Los Angeles have prompted a range… Continue reading The LA fires and the reality that not all politics is bad, though not all arguments are equal

Progressives are coming for your pets

There is, apparently, a “robust scientific literature [that] leaves no doubt about the anguish pets experience.”  This anguish includes “physical confinement, social isolation, and chronic exposure to stress.”  In other words, we are torturing our pets and should let them run free... Last week, people were a threat to the planet itself.  This week, people… Continue reading Progressives are coming for your pets

Meet the “NEETs,” a new acronym to describe how Generation Z remains hopelessly adrift

“Not in employment, education, or training,” that is those who are doing absolutely nothing with their lives, neither productively working nor preparing for their future.  After two decades of being told all they could not do, the spark of life has gone out, drowned by those who believe failure is our birthright.  Generation Z, born… Continue reading Meet the “NEETs,” a new acronym to describe how Generation Z remains hopelessly adrift

Progressives want less people to save the planet

Celebrating the declining birthrate as some of have done will not save the planet. It will lead to less human fulfillment, less innovation, a lower standard of living, more loneliness, and a world that most would not want to live in. For years, if not decades, conservatives have suspected that progressives simply don’t like people. … Continue reading Progressives want less people to save the planet

Computers are killing the planet

Surprise, surprise, the experts and the media suddenly discover that the internet age and the rise of Artificial Intelligence requires a lot of energy and other natural resources, contributing to global warming and threatening the environment. It’s a common trope in science fiction, one that needs no introduction to anyone familiar with the genre:  Computers… Continue reading Computers are killing the planet

No, New York is not about to freeze in a scenario right out of The Day After Tomorrow, whatever the so-called scientists say

After decades of claiming the Earth was warming past the point of no return, a new study claims the warming will prompt an intense cooling, encasing parts of Europe in ice in a scenario straight out of a science fiction film. In 2021, I posited that “The pressure to ‘act’ on climate change is more… Continue reading No, New York is not about to freeze in a scenario right out of The Day After Tomorrow, whatever the so-called scientists say

2024 will not be a good year for electric cars, but of course that has nothing to do with the entire plan or the Biden Administration

These contraptions satisfy next to no one outside of a few specific buyers with unique needs, and, of course, our government overlords that are desperate to restrict our mobility to save the planet. Last week, the rental car giant, Hertz, announced a huge reduction in its electric vehicle fleet, selling some 20,000 cars, about a… Continue reading 2024 will not be a good year for electric cars, but of course that has nothing to do with the entire plan or the Biden Administration

A new year means new heights in global warming hysteria

“There are some aspects of what is going on that remain puzzling,” explained a climate scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research. “Climate change means all past analogs are not so reliable,”  save when they advance the cause of hysteria, of course. It’s become an unfortunate annual tradition, the same as the holidays themselves… Continue reading A new year means new heights in global warming hysteria

The COP28 climate “deal” specifically designed to limit your freedom

There is nothing known to humanity that can replace four fifths of our energy, but this is not a flaw in their plan.  It has become the plan and they no longer feel the need to hide.  Gone is the fantasy that a robust economy, modern conveniences, and future breakthroughs can be achieved without a… Continue reading The COP28 climate “deal” specifically designed to limit your freedom
