The Post-Partisan Emporium

  Chop the trees, ration the cars Irina Slav That we live in strange times has, I believe, been established beyond the shadow of a doubt. What was once hard fact is now open to interpretation if not outright rejected as fact, which is how we get statements, made in all seriousness, that some trees may benefit from carbon dioxide. The post-truth flood, however, is still gaining momentum. “The wildfires that ripped through Canada's boreal forest last year produced more carbon emissions than the burning of fossil fuels in all but three countries, a new study has found,” leads  a story by CBC  that podcast partner Tammy Nemeth shared with me a few days ago. The study in question was  led by  “a carbon cycle scientist with expertise in data assimilation. His work has improved approaches for estimating sources and sinks of CO2 derived from atmospheric CO2 observations, leading to insights into linkages between the carbon cycle, climate, and extreme events.” He  d...

  A Climate Of Fear So what ARE they on about? RADIO FAR SIDE It is fairly obvious to anyone who has done a bit of scratching around in the “climate change/global warming” quagmire that the entire narradigm is built on deliberately false assumptions, conclusions and methodologies. What is truly concerning in all this mess is the intentional obfuscation of what is really occurring, and what the ruling narradigm is being used to accomplish. We can dispense with the ruling narradigm rather easily. There is no global warming.  Global temperatures  have been steady or even declinng a bit over the past 25 years. If we compare globally averaged maps (the ones fed to the public as fear porn), as compared to the point readngs of actual temperatures, what we find is that overnight temperatures are running slightly above historic levels, while daytime temperatures show significant areas of cooling trends. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is not a “greenhouse gas,” and at current levels of 435pp...

  A "massive cushion" of madness IRINA SLAV The Cambridge Dictionary  defines  madness as “stupid or dangerous behaviour”. It also lists a few dozen synonyms, featuring words such as “chaos”, “bedlam”, and “confusion”. All of these can and should be used to describe several recent updates from Camp Transition. In one of these, I’d go as far as to use the lovely set phrase “stark, raving mad” and it’s not the one you’re thinking of, namely the latest gift from the IEA. But let’s start with that gift. Earlier this week, the IEA made all the headlines in the world by  warning  of a looming oil supply excess— a horrible overhang (which the IEA called “a massive cushion”) of 8 million barrels daily that is to materialise before 2030 while demand growth slows down because the IEA said it would slow down, so there can be no question about it. The IEA itself, true to character, called the expected supply surplus, or rather the spare production  capacity  surpl...

 Original title! "If You Want To Control People, You Have To Control The CO2"   As farmer protests rage across Europe,  Dutch MP Rob Roos  sits down with  The HighWire's Del Bigtree  to discuss the climate scam pushed by radical globalist elites in the Western world to seize more power and control.  "They [elites] go against family values. They go against natural food. They go against freedom - because if you have to buy an electric car. They're almost twice as expensive - and people cannot buy that - it's not about the car - it's about you can't go anywhere and must depend on public transportation," Roos explained.  He said, "It's also digitalization - what we see is the digital identity and central bank digital currency - this is all about a new form of communism."  "If you want to control the people, you have to control the CO2 - because everything we do in life, breathing, living, traveling, eating, and everything we do in ...

  All Their Stupid Ideas Can be Reversed and We Will Make the Deserts Bloom We will restore the very ground of our being ELIZABETH NICKSON Did none of the Masters of the Universe take Marketing 101? I know it’s a quasi-discipline, much  déclassé , for the peons in flyover country who sell widgets to live, but it does determine the world. What do you want to buy with your disposable income? What food, what house, what car, what do your children lust after?  Shopping decisions determine the shape of the real world, where real things happen. For some people, it’s their only opportunity for self-determination, and take it they will. This fundamental human characteristic is described perfectly by a graph, a chart. The  Marketing Curve  has been around for fifty years, and its one assumption is that human desire is the primary driver of the economy. We are divided into forerunners, innovators, early adopters and late adopters and it holds true for digital product...
