What clearer signal could our enemies want?

“Attack now while our waters are defended by such unadmirable Admirals.”

My black neighbors never seem to have a problem with heat. You’d think with darker skin they might feel warmer when outside. White people whose families are from colder nations, further from the equator. such as Russia, have a lot more problems with heat.

It is true that climate change is having a disproportionate impact on black Africans. That is especially the case in the Sahel (the southern perimeter of the Sahara Desert). But the impact is positive, not negative.

Rising CO2 levels are greening the Earth, especially in arid regions, like the Sahel.

The improvement is measurable from space. Here’s a NASA video about it:

Here’s what manmade climate change is doing in Africa. This is what climate activists are campaigning against:

Excerpt:

“Before, there was not a single scorpion, not a single blade of grass… Now you have people grazing their camel…”

.

Even more importantly, rising CO2 levels are helping to make famines rare, for the first time in human history!

Famine is the Third Horseman of the Apocalypse. Throughout all of human history, famine (usually due to drought) was a Damoclean sword hanging over mankind — until now!

When I was a child, horrific famines were often in the news, in places like Africa and Bangladesh. But many of those same places now have food surpluses, every year. The rising CO2 level is one of the major reasons for that boon..

Ending famine is a VERY Big Deal, comparable to ending war and disease. Compare:

● Covid-19 killed 0.1% of world population.

● 1918 flu pandemic killed about 2%.

● WWII killed about 2.7%.

The near-global drought & famine of 1876-78 killed an estimated 3.7% of the world’s population.

Thankfully, with our current higher CO2 levels and improved climate, that doesn’t happen anymore.

The 10% of my attention that was not focused on thinking “that’s a bloke in a dress”, was wondering why the hell is the Navy commenting on this topic?

Climate change POLICY has a far more detrimental effect on black communities (and nations) than climate change! The GangGreen Borg has no compunctions about keeping Third World nations in energy poverty, while their policies in the First World drive poor communities of EVERY COLOR into the same!
Far more people will die from not being able to afford heating from skyrocketing energy prices than being without AC in summer, yet the Progressives applauded when Obama said it out loud! There truly are no depths to which these fundamentalist religious zealots will not sink to try and attain their hoped for Heaven on Earth!

“[Biden] Climate change POLICY has a far more detrimental effect on black communities (and nations) than climate change!

I had to modify that a little bit to show that this problem has a name: Joe Biden.

Just about all our problems, CO2-related, or not, have the name Joe Biden.

If you hear of some crisis or another on the news, think “Joe Biden”. Because he is the cause of most of them and his delusional thinking is detrimental to all communities, of every color.

Calling that creature an Admiral is the biggest joke on America and letting it have a soap box just double the pain.

Wyoming Hits the Rare-Earth Mother Lode

If managed wisely, the discovery at Halleck Creek will make the U.S. the world’s indispensable mineral supplier.

The discovery of 2.34 billion metric tons of rare-earth elements near Wheatland, Wyo., signals the beginning of a new era in the competition for the raw materials that power the global economy. If wisely exploited, this find—estimated to be the richest in the world—will give the U.S. an unparalleled economic and geopolitical edge against China and Russia for the foreseeable future.

The lode at Halleck Creek has the potential to make the U.S. the world’s largest processor of the minerals used to make computer chips, smartphones and aircraft engines. Rare earths are fundamental to advanced economic manufacturing. They are also critical in all military technologies, and thus have become central to national security.

Yet traditionally they also were “dirty” to mine. Production tended to leave water pollution, toxic sludge and radioactive elements in its wake. Environmental concerns led U.S. companies to curtail domestic extraction, and as a result China became the world’s largest refiner of rare earths, accounting for as much as 95% of global production and supply in 2023. Despite a recent increase in refining outside China, the U.S., along with other leading manufacturing countries, relies on Chinese rare-earth exports. And reliance has meant vulnerability, as Beijing has used its near monopoly to bolster its own industries and put pressure on competitors.

The Halleck Creek find is reportedly high in two of the most in-demand rare earths, neodymium and praseodymium oxides, both of which are also low in radioactive byproducts. Exploiting the Wyoming find, along with other mines in Arizona and Nevada, could help power a new generation of American manufacturing, ensure a supply of military-critical materials, and further reduce American reliance on trade with China…

“further reduce American reliance on trade with China…”

This is essential. This should be national policy going forward. Trump will make a good start on it, but it will take longer than four years to set our country free from the Chicoms, but Trump will point the way.

So now it’s the black race that’s being adversely impacted by climate change. Does this mean that all other colors, nationalities, religions, and ethnic groups have already had the experience? If so, why haven’t their populations been declining? Or maybe humankind is a lot more resilient than alarmists haven’t noticed or refuse to admit. Most likely this is another hit-or-miss assertion that 95% of the global population greets with derision.

It is an unsubstantiated assertion. They just assume that blacks always get the short end of the stick on everything. Maybe that’s true in some cases, but not with regard to CO2, because there is no evidence CO2 is changing anything for the worse for anyone, much less the black community.

Yep, satire is no longer possible. April Fool’s Day also is no more – how can one out-fool the activities of current politicians?

dr. drac (Draconian or Dracula pick your poison) is still lying…. and this is all we can expect from a devoted field operative of “the crazy” who want even a bigger piece of the pie. And as we have seen “the crazy” will lie, cheat, con, commit fraud and destroy to get it.

As a citizen of Pennsylvania: our children suffered, our family owned businesses failed, our mental health system collapsed (with suicides spiking hard in 2021), Opioid dependency, deaths and total disability descended on PA like a curtain of volcanic dust under dr. drac’s reign. Furthermore people didn’t do their jobs, thousands of nurses and doctors were laid off (hospitals were almost empty during pandemic and remain largely empty) and didn’t work but whom taxpayers paid huge sums to not to work, people didn’t get the health care they needed all because of admiral drac .

dr.drac lied straight through the pandemic forcing kids to wear masks in school…. These surgical/cloth masks.. anyone with a brain in their head knew were completely useless with many studies coming out of S. Korea proving it early in the pandemic. Even Fauci admitted he knew the masks were useless.

Climate Change/Pandemic are flip sides of the same coin….. a political power grab by “the crazy”.

Will trust and confidence in our health care system ever be restored? Not until the likes of dr. drac have faded long out of our memory.

dr drac is also stupid…

Everything causes inequity and everything bad including inequity is caused by climate change and, people cause climate change and inequity, therefore people are evil. Conclusion, someone has to fix all the people like dr. drac

So impressive that Joe Biden-his-time, with his immense intellect and penetrating analysis of issues was able to find such a stellar candidate to take on this critical role in the American Administration. Americans should sleep soundly knowing that Biden and folks of similar mental acuity are hard at work making America gratuitously stupid again.

What a bunch of crap that is from a pretender female since everyone human is of the SAME species which is homo sapiens sapiens thus irrelevant.

This is another race card this slime is pushing for the usual goal to divide people for governmental power and growth.

Well here in the UK as we hurtle towards food and energy poverty we still have the idiots at stop oil and extinction crisis (Stanley Johnson Boris’ dads climate change group) protesting. But in contradiction to Laverne’s clap trap, in the thousands of images of these protestors I doubt you’d find one black person
