From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT
By Paul Homewood
h/t Dave Ward
Professor Bill McGuire is a well-known vulcanologist and climate scientist who doesn’t care much for humanity. He tweeted out a scathingly brilliant idea if you’re in the mortuary business or work as a grave digger.
.
Ooopsie. McGuire deleted the tweet a few hours later but had no regrets. The trouble is, we just don’t understand how brilliant he is.
Full story here.
Walt Kelly creator of Pogo said the same thing, “We have met the enemy and he is us.” and all the liberals I have ever met just love that quote.
Culling and gas chambers just have such negative connotations.
The elimination of “Undesirables” is their intent. Much like 1930s Germany tried to do…and for almost the same reasoning
And us deplorables as well.
Well, anyone who thinks that way should immediately commit seppuku.
“Walt Kelly creator of Pogo said the same thing, “We have met the enemy and he is us.” and all the liberals I have ever met just love that quote.”
The liberals must not own mirrors.
So good of him to volunteer to be culled. I wonder what his preferred method of termination might be.
But therein lies the problem. The Climate Fascists who think the number of human beings on Earth needs to be dramatically reduced NEVER step up and volunteer THEMSELVES to be among the casualties. They always think it’s those “other people” whose numbers must be reduced.
That’s not entirely true – many of them are refusing to have children and generally improving the gene pool
another ridiculous fantasy about genetics.
In fairness, you would not hear from those who have killed themselves.
Unless you have a Ouija Board.
A Ouija Board would only tell what those really behind this … want you to believe or not believe.
(I’m tempted to link to a long comment on another site I made 10 or more years ago but I’ll refrain for the site owner’s sake.)
Stormy Daniels might help out here as she claims she sees dead people.
Wasn’t there a nut job who set himself on fire for climate?
I suggest jumping out of an airplane without a parachute.
That’s already been done

Landed in boxes too
The landing in the water is probably fake as hell, though.
We are at the precipice. All of us good lemmings should just execute a swan dive.
He is OBSOLETE!
At this time you think anyone below 50 would know what you are writing about, sadly I think not.
Maybe crash the WH gate or just drive through Oakland at night.
Climate alarmists seem to become more deranged every year. What has happened to investigative journalism? There should be stories all over the mainstream media highlighting the absurdity of climate alarmism. Is every “journalist” in the mainstream media just a useless hack now?
Almost all of them are afraid to say that they got it wrong about CO2 and climate change because they think that to do so will make them look silly, and that goes for politicians as well.
For myself, I would rather look silly than look dishonest.
They no longer teach investigative or objective journalism. All there is is advocacy journalism.
There are classes available on how to properly report the climate cataclysm.
The Howard Zinnificaiton of all scholarship: lie to get your way.
And it makes every subject so easy. Just learn the vocabulary, Study and the hard work of knowing are unnecessary. In fact they’re an impediment, along with professional integrity.
This is the way of things across all of academic humanities.
“Is every “journalist” in the mainstream media just a useless hack now?”
About 90 percent of them are. Most “journalists” are just propagandists for the Democrat Party.
“Climate Professor Thinks We Should ‘Cull’ the Human Population to Reach Emissions Targets”
Don’t we all know that their perfect utopia gets along just fine without the human…? Bill also opined that:
“only when enough people are terrified will we have a serious shot at tackling the climate emergency.”
Why We Need To Be More Afraid
https://theecologist.org/2022/jun/23/why-we-need-be-more-afraid
So the bleating about ‘context’ is yet another straw man. According to the [de facto Global] High Priest of alarmism
“”We are a plague on the Earth””
https://www.livescience.com/26473-david-attenborough-humanity-plague.html
His protege has thoughts on cellular disruption …
“Chris Packham says we should stop trying to cure cancer and look after Earth instead”

The sentence for this misanthropy? A passage on the B Ark.
These idiots are LITERALLY the “Agent Smiths” of reality.
Maybe we can send all of these true believer idiots into The Matrix where they belong.
Imagine someone calling for a nuclear first strike against Russia and China to “fix” the “climate crisis”.
That’s how crazy these people are.
Indeed they are…
Call for war protests have replaced peace protests on many campuses. Upside down world.
If that’s not a hate crime, then what is?
The way I feel about Hollywood films
The way I feel about trigger warnings, so-called sit-coms etc etc etc
I hate them, they are baby food.
nailed it!
Only things that upset Progressive sensibilities are “hate crimes”.
But so far only a manifesto. He hasn’t acted on it – as far as I know.
But the FBI should keep a close watch on him!
The exchange on X was quite revealing. McGuire followed up later with this:
“Turning things around
Would love to hear how emissions can be cut by at least 50% in the next 66 months (by 2030) without a major- socio-economic shock that slashes economic activity
This MUST happen to have any chance of sidestepping dangerous, all-pervasive, climate breakdown.” 12:26 PM · May 12, 2024
Yikes.
BTW, McGuire is the author of the book “Hothouse Earth” published in 2022.
I would love to hear how McGuire plans to convince, persuade, coerce China, India, etc. to stop building new coal fired power plants. Followed by his plans to convince these same countries to shut down the ones they have.
At the same time, please produce a rigorous plan to show how many windmills, solar farms, acres needed, and placement of acres we need to eliminate fossil fuels in the US. The plan must assume that current energy usage remains the same and then grows with GDP growth. Reliability must remain at current levels. Also show miles and placement of additional transmission lines, charging stations etc. Include all costs associated with this change, amount and source of raw materials needed, cost of production, transportation, etc of all raw and finished goods. Include all costs, sources and uses of funds etc.
Please then explain why adaptation to a potential warming of the climate is not a better strategy.
Also explain how all the coal, oil and gas used to source materials, fabricate, transport, erect, maintain, demolish, and transport to landfills of all those worse-than-useless windmills and solar panels, plus all the coal, oil and gas used to provide backup power for the 70-80% of the time wind and solar produce nothing or produce too little, is probably pretty much the same as it is using the coal, oil and gas directly to provide our energy needs more reliably and more affordably.
but… but… you wouldn’t have to do all that thinking if you only had the faith! No need to be a climate change scholastic once you become a climate fear fundamentalist!
Culling has entered the climate alarmist lexicon and this is truly frightening. Carbon footprint reduction is being viewed favorably and GDP growth is not. Steps are being taken to put farmers out of business. The push for war is replacing the desire for peace. Alarmists are not pushing for adaption. They are pushing for avoidance and that strategy is being used to suggest, if not justify, the horrific.
Energy is a resource and imho the most important resource.
Remind me again why wars are fought?
China and India have added 1273GW of coal fired power to their grids since 2000 and are quite happy to keep on adding new coal fired plants. How is McGuire going to tackle this?
that is on the other side of the world. Obviously that place doesn’t matter.
Add the concurrent effect of the one child policy.
It’s easy. Cut the population in half.
If there is to 7,000,000,000 less people, what will the purpose of all those contraptions be?
“Turning things around
Would love to hear
howwhy emissionscanmust be cut by at least 50% in the next 66 months (by 2030)without a major- socio-economic shock that slashes economic activityThis MUST happen to have any chance of sidestepping dangerous, all-pervasive, climate breakdown.”(using logic, and without resorting to lies and fearmongering).To honestly re-phase McGuire; he did not outright say that bad things would happen is 5-1/2 years.
He simply says that, if we cut our arm off in the next 5.5 years, then we will have a better chance of not breaking & getting gangrene & dying because of it, in the future and throughout our remaining lifetimes.
Fine, start with him and his entire family.
Ditto for all the other “climate scientists” and other misanthrope who hold similar beliefs.
So what is this so-called “climate breakdown”, exactly? How does the climate “break”? When in the past has the climate ever “broken”?
Yes, there have been cataclysmic events like the asteroid impact and the vulcanism of the Deccan Traps that led to very fast but temporary changes in climate, but even so the climate returned to norm, as it always does. Nobody has ever demonstrated how burning fossil fuels could create a cataclysmic event equivalent to the asteroid impact (equivalent to billions of thermonuclear devices going off instantly at one location) or the hundreds of thousands of years of elevated vulcanism of the Deccan Traps.
definition: climate breakdown
When climate change preachers have a severe nervous breakdown.
“So what is this so-called “climate breakdown”, exactly?”
It’s scaremongering/delusional thinking.
Someone who thinks like Professor Bill McGuire should go seek mental therapy if he hasn’t already done so.
Imagine believing the Earth is in a “climate breakdown”. The stress must be enormous.
Wouldn’t McGuire be surprised if CO2 had nothing at all to do with the current warming? He should look at clouds from both sides now. I wonder if he would be relieved if he found out he had been wrong about the climate all this time; that there is no “climate breakdown” caused by CO2?
Bill, it appears that a reduction in cloud cover can account for all the warming since the 1980’s (CERES). CO2 has very little to do with it. See, you have been worrying yourself sick for no good reason. You need to study “the science” a little more to relieve your mental anguish.
Then, you can start obssessing over clouds, if you are inclined that way.
So how about a little circular logic here from this dude:
The world is headed towards a “climate breakdown” that could conceivably cause the deaths of billions of humans.
So the only way to avoid that cataclysm is to suffer another cataclysm that causes the deaths of billions of humans.
Right … got it.
I’m sorry Duane, you are using logical thinking, something that is alien to the professor.
Yes, and to every other true believer in the imaginary ‘Climate Crisis’ (TM)
Even if he found a way other than a pandemic – his goal is to find a way to destroy the economy enough to reduce emissions 50%. I guess racists like him won’t care if all the black and brown people starve.
Or white or red or yellow or (insert LGBT+IQ colors here).
Kill people so they won’t die.
Certain sects of a certain religion are committed to offing all persons who aren’t followers.
But at least they undertake to off themselves as part of their commitment.
Climate catastrophists remind me of those “celebrities” who threaten to leave the USA when Trump becomes president, but when the day arrives – crickets. . .
Perhaps They should try Killing them Softly imstead
Are you sure it isn’t to save their souls, not their bodies. Wasn’t that all figured out hundreds of years ago?
IOW, to avoid an imaginary catastrophe we should create a REAL catastrophe. 🙄
hmmmm… a holocaust on steroids to save the planet- seems like a reasonable choice /sarc
Would probably end up being more of a Holodomor on steroids.
What is it about the 21st Century? Since 2001 I’ve heard more crackpot ideas expressed by allegedly intelligent human beings that in the previous 50 years. How did it suddenly become acceptable to express such idiocy in public?
It’s called Twitter… er… I mean, X.
Doh! How did I miss that?
In a weird sense, they are logically correct.
If you genuinely believe (or make a living out of pretending that you do) that the world is going to disappear in the puff of smoke if we don’t achieve the impossible within the next five years, what other options are there?
The real question is how did such an irrational belief emerge in the first place?
Malthus’s book was published in 1798.
Influencers get endorsements = cash.
I don’t know exactly when the UFOs landed and dropped off all these stupid people..
but apparently they are not coming back for them!
Are you surprised?
They are absolutely not new ideas. Everything runs in cycles.
People like this one confirm my belief that education and intelligence don’t mean the same thing. And neither do these characteristics signify the person possesses compassion, humanity, forgiveness or sanity. His assertion does, however indicate a hard heart, which is nothing to be proud of.
Let’s hope it’s his arteries that have hardened!
In reality we need to increase the numbers of employed people on the planet if we are to be able to fund the retirement of those who are currently and valiantly supporting the NHS and State Pensions in the UK and their equivalents in other countries. It is not sensible to say let us reduce the population at a stroke. That is unscientific idiocy.
Have you not noticed that the west if chock full of such stuff?
Reducing the population at a stroke could be something Mad Vlad is working on!
Can someone with legal training explain how the quoted statement by McGuire escapes laws regarding terrorism?
“The Code defines terrorism as an effort committed “in whole or in part for a political, religious or ideological purpose, objective or cause” with the intention of intimidating the public. If you commit an act of terrorism or knowingly instruct, directly or indirectly, any person to carry out a terrorist activity you could be imprisoned for life.”
First Amendment to the US Constitution.
He clearly posted “. . . the only realistic way I see . . .” He expressed an opinion . . . he’s covered.
An uncounted number of idiotic, public statements have been protected by the First Amendment. Still, I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Funny thing is he is right in a way that tells you something about the impossible targets.
“Professor” and “climate”. Surefire clue that whoever it is, has no business being anywhere near a educational institution of any level. More than likely a ripe candidate for an asylum for idiots. Just sayin’.
Appears that he’s retired (emeritus) from University College of London so not actively teaching one can hope. Sadly just one of many nut cases in academia.
I would note that even his massive culling concept would not result in “net-zero” carbon emissions. The people these elites want to get rid of are mostly those who suffer from energy poverty. See quotes from enviro-wackos regarding providing cheap abundant energy to third world folks.
Fine. Let’s start with elite academia. It’s not like they’re producing much of value these days that anyone would miss in exchange for their carbon emissions.
I know I’ll get down votes for this, but the professor didn’t actually say that “we should cull”; I.e. that this elimination should be something deliberate. As despicable as this fool’s thoughts are, they stand on their own. We needn’t put additional meaning into a mouth run by a brain having trouble finding meaning.
So he’s just wishing for a culling, not calling for it? He just hopes there will be devastating global pandemic in the next few years?
…except that the Wuhan debacle indicated that man is now capable of generating pandemics, so he could be counselling a terrorist act. McGuire is suggesting something very close to, if not the equivalent of, a Final Solution.
Thus, homelessness is so easily alleviated.
McGuire, the prophet of : “climate abyss holes” or “climate by assholes” ?
Is anyone surprised?
Let’s start the culling process with “Climate Professors”
Maybe Mao did have the right idea killing off the academics.
Yes, but didn’t Pol Pot make the mistake of including doctors in his cull and then millions died in the next epidemic of whatever?
China is reportedly doing the “gain of function” research necessary to initiate a pandemic significantly more effective than COVID19 (Wuhanfluie).
aka WuWHOflu
Was this distinguished professor an advisor to “Doctor” Anthony Fauci in 2020? Maybe he can get a job in Wuhan, China.
So effectively he wants to reintroduce smallpox to the world. Just, wow.
