The Moonbat has published an article on The Guardian that proposes limiting the wealth of the super rich.
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/sep/19/life-earth-wealth-megarich-spending-power-environmental-damage
He opens with 3 “facts”.
1) A since flight on a 737 produces more CO2 than a small town in Africa, justified by a link to the averages of individuals in different countries, failing to mention that the average he chose would be for a standard of living that is so far below any first world nation that noone would wish this on their worst enemies.
(apparently he has decided that small towns in Africa contain less than 100 people)
2) A superyacht at idle burns through 500 litres of diesel an hour. This would mean it generates 5000kWhr or energy every hour – apparently while doing nothing.
Strangely superyachts are known to burn less while actually travelling at 18knots. His quote from a very authoritative source – a blog about working on superyachts.
3) a $3.6B 30m superyacht that has 100 tonnes of gold throughout it – including the anchor apparently.
The story is a proven fake “https://www.mby.com/news/3-billion-golden-superyacht-story-confirmed-as-fake-6976” but George doesn’t check facts that suit his daft points of view.
People should visit the NBC website and read the confessions. They are hilarious!
Yes. I saw many good ones. I left a few truths there, as well. I encourage everyone to do the same.
they really ARE;-)) I had a good chuckle and then shared it widely with” Hilarious “as the header
I wonder how long the page will stay up for? as I reckon they had NO idea the responses theyd get wouldnt be the warmist whingers puerile self abasement theyd hoped for;-)))
damn its funny!!
great Post , thanks Charles!!
Exactly. hilariously backfire; as usual there are actually more of us than there are of them. Very similar to the poll on taking away guns. 96% not in favor. They should do more polls like this which end up showing we the people (what a concept) do not agree with their nonsense.
I confess, I had a little party last night and at least 48 cans of beer were opened, releasing oodles and oodles of that evil co2 stuff ! The snacks were Crazy Hot Re fried Bean Burrito’s ! l had nightmare just thinking about all the super nasty methane that I caused to be released this morning…..oh the horror of it all ! : )
If nothing else, the confessions give me a bucket list of things I haven’t attempted yet…
And yes, I am a full timer RVer, with a diesel dually pickup, a sports car, and a motorcycle.
I passed 3 cars AT ONE TIME today on my motorrad.
Okay, more of a traffic violation than a climate confession. But since ‘climate confessions’ are silly, mine’s just as good.
Is it only me then that hopes the climate actually does change for the warmer so that winters in the U.K. will not be as miserable, grey and cold for months on end? If at the same time fewer people die of energy poverty and places and people further North from the mid latitudes, like Canada and the Canadians, are also a bit warmer, so much the better.
Of course, I also think that the climate is relatively insensitive to fluctuating CO2 levels. I suppose that is some sort of heresy or hate crime in the minds of eco-hysterics.
I had to reuse some rubber bands yesterday used in food preparation (don’t ask) because there were no replacements in the house. I wilfully rinsed them with lots of hot water, not cold. And used detergent too.
I confess that the vast majority of people I’ve physically spoken to about climate change AND who are adamant about humans being solely responsible, have never actually looked into the subject one iota or s spent any time whatsoever looking beyond the mainstream sensationalism and political ideology.
I turned on my computer and used electricity from unknown sources to read this blog. Oh the horror of it all.
I wrote this post on my Korean built device, made from Aluminium, Lithium, oil, sand and many toxic chemicals shipped in from all over the world. The message was uploaded via hundreds of internet nodes and servers, ticking away clock cycles in air conditioned rooms 24/7/365.25
Please Gaia, tell your devotees to refrain from updating their phones every two years and to stay away from social media. So that saner voices are no longer being drowned out by the vocal minority.
They no doubt censored replies to make it appear that most Americans Believe.
not yet…but I bet they do
in which case they will have about 5 posts
How long before the Church of Settled Science and Climate Change follows suit?

I confess to consuming quantities of real and craft ales which causes me to issue noxious gasses that warm the planet and the immediate area behind me.
“I confess, I cooked up some data from a single tree to be awarded a fake Nobel Prize.” Anon.
I confess I used my original inefficient house heating ( nat gas burning central furnace) for another year instead of buying a brand new 97% (wink) efficient modern heater. The modern unit has an expected lifetime of 10 years to repair or replacement. My old beater is turning 51.
As far as I can tell nature is perfectly good at looking after itself, therefore I (and no one I’ve ever met) have ever done anything wrong 😇, certainly nothing that affects the climate in any long lasting or significant way.
Besides that forest has mostly grown back now 😈 .
I got a ticket, while driving with a diesel car into a diesel-free zone,
from a camera running on a diesel generator.
So sorry for the diesel it took to take the picture and fine me.
Well, not really me, but it DID happen in Utrecht, The Netherlands:

Forgive me O almighty Gaia, for I have sinned greatly, as I am a non-Believer and verily mock those who do Believe.
Now, how many Hail Gretas and how many Our Gores do I need to do?
Confessions, indulgences, and the climate inquisition. What’s next? The auto-da-fe?
I confess, I really, really love a warm climate. take that ice and snow elsewhere.
When does the Pope sprinkle holy water on the Tesla for publicity? with NBC ad coverage in tow
I play electric guitar and sometimes I plug in the amplifier. When I’m on tour, the wind turbine doesn’t fit on the waggon, what else can I do?
I’m still trying to get news items out of my head from the 1980s about visions of the Virgin Mary seen in knot holes of trees and reflections off cars and now you throw this at me on climate change confessions online. Sheez!
I saw a bridge and could not decide if I should jump or not. Then I decide everybody else should jump to soften my landing. Climate catastrophe averted.
I confess that I believe lining up all of the whining green terrorists somewhere in Iowa facing east that we would not have to worry about the intermittency of windmills.
We live off the grid six months/year on a sailboat. Solar power, huge batteries, LEDs. We planned hard to keep diesel use below 150 gallons last season- because it’s expensive and extremely difficult, inconvenient, dangerous to acquire fuel. Be careful and conserve, but not because of the boggy man. I could get behind policy programs based on conservation for the sake of the future and many good current reasons. Just please, stop the lying, power grabbing, and taking. Just think what good all of the wasted eco terrorist fake science dollars could have accomplished.
I believe the climate changes. Jury is out as to what direction it may be moving. I think we change it’s path about like peeing off the side at ten knots, five miles off shore changes the Atlantic.
People this isn’t funny. HaHa actually it is funny. Re-sodded a golf course one swing at a time, but in an electric cart.
You know you could lower your golf course cost average by taking more swings.
What I find interesting about the serious confessions (few as they are), is that virtually no one has any intention of changing their behavior. They may feel guilty, but not THAT guilty.
No guilt at all! I’m sitting in the back of my big-ass Tundra 4 x 4 (with the gun rack in the window!), wearing my bright-RED MAGA HAT, grilling a ribeye on PROPANE (OMG!) to do my part for the greening of the Earth which is opening up newly-productive agricultural land all ove the globe. The more CO2, the better! And the mentally-ill children “witnessing” before Congress should be institutionalized. Maybe the UN can pay for that?
Sorry, but you can’t fool even MOST of the people NEARLY enough of the time to fly this scam much farther.
I’m taking my 717 hp Hellcat out for a ride today in the beautiful cool weather. 11 minutes to drain the fuel tank at top speed. But I don’t go 200 mph. I just use it to get to the speed limit (or a little above) before anybody else at the light.
