Weird world of modern academia

cos what she says about extinction being natural is logical.
Article on the bbc :-
“How Pakistan floods are linked to climate change.” Lots of scary words, It’s Trumps fault, nasty caucasians continuing to exist, not giving enough money to research this hogwash. I’m going to apply for an editing job i think, remove several hundred words of cobblers, replace with –
“They’re not”
You’ve got to admit, my style shows considerable promise.
Pakistan like other countries in that region of the Earth are prone to regular monsoon activity. I lived in Singapore for two years as a child. Our bungalow was built on 8 foot brick pillars. When the monsoon struck water would rise up around the bungalow to depths of six feet or so in a matter of an hour. Then when the monsoon stopped within an hour the water had practically gone.
It’s normal for that region of the world mainly caused I understand by the effect of the huge canopies of tropical forests.
They mention 1100 people died in the floods. For heavens sake this is a country of many millions of people and accidents and deaths must be pretty regular anyway.
In my opinion, the fuss being made is an opportunity by the Globalists to try to divert cash from the West in their grand levelling up plan. Not to mention another opportunity to bang the climate alarmism drum to try to cow us all into submission.
Plus once you show a country that there is money to be made from acting the victim it will become embedded in their society.
Note that no-one is asking the obvious question which is what plans, if any are the Government of Pakistan making to deal with future monsoons?
Answer: they don’t have any apart from demanding money from the evil westerners who’s industrial development is a perfect target for them to whine on about.
The authorities in Singapore put in a very simple basic measure to mitigate the effects. Every rural road has a very deep and wide culvert dug next to it on both sides, some 8 feet deep and wide diverting the water very quickly into the sea or safe area.
When the deluge came it simply followed these culverts instead of flooding into the villages.
I have seen locals riding bicycles whilst up to their waist in water and totally unconcerned. All knowing that in a few hours the water would be drained away.
All the BBC garbage wouldn’t bother me if they just came out from behind their impartial smokescreen and admitted they have strong left leaning and globalist agendas and intend to make full use of them in any way they can.
People would then see them in their true colours and know how to treat them.
Living in Greta’s World.. (much like the BBC make belief utopia). Free energy! Windmills, Free Electricity!, Free Food, Free water, Free TV License (sorry that was a mistake).
“This winter’s energy crisis will give us a foretaste of what a world without cheap energy looks like …”
Yesterday, the Prime Minister became the latest figure to trot out the bogus statistic that wind power is now “nine times” cheaper than gas-produced electricity.
We have put all our eggs in the wind and solar basket partly because, notionally, the marginal cost of producing it is very low. But you can’t look at the cost of wind and solar power in isolation. You have to factor in either the cost of energy storage, which is so expensive that few people in Britain want to invest in it – beyond a few token battery installations.
The reason for that is that storing wind-generated power in batteries costs around three times as much as does generating the power in the first place. Instead, we are using gas as a back-up. In reality, wind and solar power have made us more dependent on gas, not less. Twenty years ago, when coal was our predominant source of power, we might have been in a better position, but we have closed down coal plants without a reliable replacement. At the same time, the fixation on net zero has led us to pass over the chance to exploit our native shale gas reserves.
Proponents of net zero tend to fall into two camps. There is the hair-shirt wing, which has jumped on climate change as a vehicle for destroying capitalism and replacing it with what they see as a simpler, fairer, more wholesome society. And there is the ‘have your cake and eat it’ wing, which contends that banning carbon emissions will spur such a rapid and transformative industrial revolution that we will arrive in 2050 not only in a clean world but one which is far richer, too.
I wish I could believe in the latter. Sadly, though, I fear that the first group – the Gretas of this world – are more realistic,…”
Greta will son have her own show on BBC land I predict.
Not that we can afford the electricity to turn it on.

Meanwhile, the fascist charge works both ways

The timing of indictments against President Trump will be key . Maybe mid october to maximise voting impact on places the democrats havnt been able to fix
Biden mentioned how republicans have been paying attention to voting processes – like it is a bad thing ..

BBC Complaint Summary:
I take offence that presenters promote their books
Full Complaint:
I see that BBC presenters use their twitter accounts to promote items outside of the BBC
…. Katty Kay (The Confidence Code and Womenomics),
Jon Sopel (If Only They Didn’t Speak English),
Chris Evans (Call the Midlife)
Gary Lineker (goalhangerfilms.com) …
there might be more around.
Does the BBC charge the presenters for using the BBC brand to promote these items?
Does the BBC get a kick back to reduce the TV License with each successful sale of these products?
Can you tell me how this works … do the items on sale conform to the BBC core values and guidelines?
I didn’t think GB News could sink any lower after paying the likes of Daniella (cocaine snorter) Westbrook and the other one with big lips, they are now paying for GINA MILLER to be a voice on the channel. FFS !
Citizens’ Climate Assemblies, btw, are what Sir Boaty was pushing.
It’s where a small number of people select those they think will give them a better result than the old form of democracy, where everyone could vote.
Our council is set to be turfed out on this basis, having blown eye watering amounts ticking #NetZero boxes outside the council chambers whilst ignoring the public.
Unless XR can get the Tories to change the voting system using more than the power of reasoned argument.
“Greg Jackson, chief executive of Octopus energy, told the BBC there should be a concerted push now.”
complains “Cameron later ended subsidies for *onshore* wind” “If we hadn’t done that, energy bills this year would be billions of pounds lower than they are,” Mr Jackson told the Big Green Money Show on BBC Radio 5 Live.
Subsidies are legitimate to test new tech, markets, etc.
But not to do so based on clearly daft presumptions, across the board, for decades, to make crafty businessmen as rich as the previous crafty businessmen, at the expense of the taxpayer.
Stew,
Robbery- potentially a life sentence, but maximum these days 12 years, although that is exceptional. This should go up to a big court- not Magistrates. I can’t forget a Magistrate once said to me when referring to juvenile crime ‘Kids they grow out of it’ and then laughed. Idiot.
Another example of how Plod work these days. A member of the travelling fraternity (whom I can’t refer to as a gypsy) went into a local betting shop trying to pass fake £50 notes. He had already visited several shops in the area and terrified a member of staff in one into passing his dodgy note. He was tackled by the owner of that shop when he got into the betting shop and ably assisted by customers he was detained. Police were called, the shop door locked and the traveller then became violent, pretended to have a fit etc etc. Now this is a crime in progress. Yes not the same as a robbery, but nevertheless not trivial. And what did Police say to the manager of the betting shop ? ‘Let him go’ and they did (can’t blame them) Absolutely incredible- staggering. Plod these days spend more time doing diversity training than actually getting out there and tackling the real issues
Bearing in mind this Blackpool ‘thing’ is a juvenile I fully expect an extremely severe slap on the wrist, maybe community service or perhaps (gasp) a suspended sentence. Law and order, if there is any has become an utter disgrace.
In Fed world – I’d hang that kid and his girlfriend for that – you’ll think I’m over the top – but it’s a waste of taxpayers ‘money locking them up …. Which bit of Liverpool does he come from ? ….
Obviously I’d film the hangings and put them on twitter . Too much ?
Any suggestion that CNN is a left-wing or liberal TV channel is utterly bogus, given that they expect journalists to work for free. The editor of CNN should be deeply ashamed of him or herself
