Episode 656 – Dust to Dirt

We talked a lot about the climate crisis and why it is nothing more than an excuse to pursue Malthusianism. It was a real bummer of a podcast and it was long.

What we didn’t do was talk about all the stupid things being done because of this alleged “climate crisis”.

Let’s go over these things.

 

News

Here’s some news:

  • John Bolton has announced he is running for President.
    • Who cares.
  • Mexico looks like it is bordering on a civil war.
    • On Saturday, Ovidio Guzmán López, the son of El Chapo (Joaquín Guzmán Loera), was arrested.
    • Lopez runs the Sinola Cartel in Mexico, taking over for El Chapo in 2016.
    • This is the second time Lopez was arrested but he was released because Mexican President  Andrés Manuel López Obrador did not want to piss off the cartels.
    • People saw this as coordination between the government and the cartels.
    • The Cartel terrorists fought back.
    • 3500 soldiers were involved.
    • 19 cartel members were killed and 10 soldiers were killed.
    • The cartel threatened to burn down businesses if Lopez was not released.
    • The cartels and Mexican police have been fighting since the arrest in the streets.
    • Some questions:
      • Is Biden going to discuss in his meeting with Obrador this week?
      • What is Biden going to do when the fighting crosses the border?
    • Maybe some of that money we are giving Ukraine should go to Mexico to deal with this terrorist organization.
  • Brazil is falling apart.
    • The protests continue over the elections.
    • On Sunday, a group attacked the capitol building.
    • President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva promised to punish the people who invaded the congress.
    • Former President, Jair Bolsonaro, is in Florida, gave up the election and transferred power peacefully, and condemns the violent protests.
    • The media is comparing this to January 6th. Of course they are.
    • Brazil has a history of this. Let’s not forget the government of Brazil was run by the military 25 years ago.
  • Joe Biden finally visits the border, but it was a sanitized border.
    • He stopped in El Paso but all the illegal aliens that were on the floor of the airport and living in tents on the streets were removed.
    • He visited a Salvation Army shelter and then started giving orders to one of the staff, thinking she was a Secret Service officer.
  • Joe Biden is also in trouble by having classified documents at his former think tank in Pennsylvania.
    • It was discovered by one of his lawyers and reported on November 2 of 2022.
    • Merrick Garland appointed a special council to investigate.
    • Notice that we find out about this after the election!
    • The reality is that this happens all the time with Presidents.

New York

According to Fox News:

New York has become the sixth state in the United States to legalize natural organic reduction, popularly known as human composting, as a method of burial.

Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul signed the legislation on Saturday. Washington was the first state to legalize human composting in 2019, followed by Colorado and Oregon in 2021 and Vermont and California in 2022.

“I am committed to having my body composted and my family knows that,” Howard Fischer, a 63-year-old investor living north of New York City, told The Associated Press. “Whatever my family chooses to do with the compost after it’s done is up to them.”

The alternative, green method of burial aligns with Fischer’s philosophical view on life: to live in an environmentally conscious way.

Notice anything similar with the other states that have legalized composting? All Leftist states.

What annoys me about this story is not the actual process. I don’t actually see any problems if someone wants to get composted. But, looking at the process, I would have a problem getting composted. You are put in a box with several organic materials that will speed the decomposition process. You sit in a room for thirty days in an environment that speeds up decay. When your body rots, it is run through a machine, turning you into compost. Your ass is then thrown on the tree of your family’s choice.

Notice that only six states are doing this? That’s because i see this process is as bad as anything else that is suppose to helpt he environment. It puts a tree as more important than a human being and I think that’s wrong. But states like California and New York don’t care about human life. We see that with all their policies from abortion to drug legalization to homelessness.

California

Speaking of California going to crap, a new law goes into affect this month.

According to Yahoo! News:

Large trucks and buses made before 2010 will be prohibited from operating on California roadways starting Jan. 1. It’s the final rule in a set of clean air regulations the California Air Resources Board passed nearly 15 years ago. The rule applies to diesel vehicles that weigh at least 14,000 pounds. The air resources board said there are an estimated 200,000 vehicles that have yet to comply with the rule just days before the new year, including roughly 70,000 big rig trucks, or about 10% of the commercial motor vehicles operating in the state, according to trucking lobbying groups. KCRA 3’s Ashley Zavala reports.

To his credit, this was not a Gavin Newsome thing. This law was signed in when Arnold Schwarzenegger was governor. It just goes into effect this year. Don’t forget, Gavin Newsom is trying to get rid of gas power cars by 2035. There will be a new governor then too.

What kind of disaster is this going to be? About 20% of the trucks will not be able to be on the road. Truckers that own their trucks will not be able to drive in California. Truckers with older trucks will not be able to enter California. All older buses will need to be replaced. This will cost tax payers billions.

For consumers, it will be worse. Expect the prices of everything will be going up. Suddenly, 20% of the supply chain has been axed. This is what we get with tons of regulations.

Reusable What?!

in a final story that shows how these environmentalists are not progressive but regressive, the New York Post reports:

How far would you go to save the environment?

While many try to reduce reliance on single-use plastics and attempt to recycle, one woman left people dumbfounded after revealing what she claimed is reusable toilet paper.

A team member from Net Zero Company — which reportedly makes “Earth friendly products for everyday life” — acknowledged that the item is controversial but insisted that it’s worth it.

“After the global toilet paper shortage of 2020, we came out with our reusable version,” she explained in a TikTok clip.

“And to the 56,000 comments in disapproval of it, it’s meant to wipe water off — you know, like drying off after a shower,” she added.

According to the woman in the clip, those who have made the bold move from toilet tissue to organic cotton “have loved” the change, noting that it’s “way softer” than supermarket toilet paper.

However, she did note that the reusable stuff is best paired with a bidet, with which one can seemingly rinse off the cloth. She then suggested collecting all the used “paper” and putting it in a bag to launder and then reuse.

Noting that “27,000 trees are cut down daily to make toilet paper,” the reusable TP enthusiast is a big fan — but not everyone agrees.

I don’t think I have to say so much about this but I did do something. I bought a pack of this crap. Wait for the video on Rumble.

You’re Kidding?

I guess I will not be getting heart surgery at Cedars-Sinai any time soon.

According the Cedars:

ABC News recently interviewed Martha Gulati, MD, director of Preventive Cardiology and associate director of the Barbra Streisand Women’s Heart Center in the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai, about how climate change is contributing to an increase in heart disease. 

Climate change has worsened and wildfires, hurricanes, drought, heat waves, and cold spells have become more common, sometimes leading to famine and drought. “The world we live in right now is not a very hospitable environment for the heart,” Gulati told ABC News.

The medical community was unprepared for the effect of such high temperatures on the human body and had to “learn on the fly,” said Gulati, who is associate director of the Preventive and Rehabilitative Cardiac Center in the Smidt Heart Institute. “With heart disease prevention, we tend to focus on controlling blood pressure and lipids, but we should consider the other aspects of prevention, like our environment,” Gulati told ABC News.  

To protect one’s health from the negative effects of climate change and to maintain good heart health, avoid cigarettes, eat healthy, get plenty of sleep and exercise daily. To help protect the environment and reduce the impact of extreme weather on the global community, consider using public transportation, recycling, avoiding red meat and reducing plastic waste. 

Would you really trust a doctor who is this woke? No, your heart attack is not from eating four Big Macs a day, it’s from climate change.

How about if you just avoid cigarettes, eat healthy, get plenty of sleep and exercise daily? Might I avoid heart disease? Maybe recycling my toilet paper may not be necessary to keep a healthy heart.

You Don’t Need Stoves to Eat Dry Bugs

In another example of how this climate BS is going to make our lives miserable. According to the Daily Wire:

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is considering banning Americans from having gas stoves.

Roughly 40% of American homes have gas stoves, which emit nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide as well as fine particulate matter at what are deemed unsafe levels by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and World Health Organization. A study released in January 2022 argued that over 20 years, “annual methane emissions from all gas stoves in U.S. homes have a climate impact comparable to the annual carbon dioxide emissions of 500 000 cars.”

So, 40% of the country is going to need to spend a $1000 to replace their stoves.

By the way, there’s a reason most people like gas stoves over electric stoves (which also burns fossil fuels). Gas stoves are superior to electric stove. They are easier to control, cook more evenly and heat quicker.
