A solution to tackling climate change is to eat human flesh from dead bodies, a Swedish scientist has claimed.

Professor Magnus Soderlund, of Stockholm School of Economics, believes practicing cannibalism might save the planet if society were to 'awaken to the idea'.

“You didn’t watch the entire thing?” you ask. No, sorry, I do have some self-respect. -- How these reckless clowns could persuade even 10 percent of voters to support them in a general election is a disturbingly sad commentary on the state of our electorate. -- Each candidate was more ridiculous than the next. It was a painful spectacle to endure.

Barack and Michelle Obama have announced that they recently purchased a massive, 29-acre, beach-front estate in Martha’s Vineyard for a cool $15 million, proving once again that the same libtards who never shut up about “global warming” and “climate change” don’t actually practice, or believe, what they preach. -- Were the Obamas truly concerned about ocean levels rising, as Barack once claimed, then they would have purchased a lavish second (or third?) home somewhere in the mountains. But that’s certainly not what they did, revealing that they don’t actually believe the climate hoax they continue to peddle.

The urban heat island occurrence is particularly pronounced during summer heat waves and at night when wind speeds are low and sea breezes are light. During these times, New York City's air temperatures can rise 7.2 degrees F higher than in surrounding areas.

The science behind the Urban Heat Island Effect lies in the amount of heat surfaces (such as concrete and asphalt) can not only absorb, but also retain. Since these surfaces absorb a ton of heat from sunlight (typically warming 50 - 90 degrees hotter than the air temperature) then slowly release it, it's no wonder places such New York City and Philadelphia are usually warmer than their respective suburbs!

Another big player in the temperature differences between cities and suburbs comes from the amount of vegetation. Not only do plants and trees shade surfaces, they also perform a process called evapotranspiration (combination of evaporating water from soil and plant leaves) which is a major cooling mechanism. Thus, vegatative surfaces can be 20 - 45 degrees cooler than other exposed surfaces!

In the Amazon rainforest, fire season has arrived. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite captured these images of several fires burning in the states of Rondônia, Amazonas, Pará, and Mato Grosso on August 11 and August 13, 2019.

In the Amazon region, fires are rare for much of the year because wet weather prevents them from starting and spreading. However, in July and August, activity typically increases due to the arrival of the dry season. Many people use fire to maintain farmland and pastures or to clear land for other purposes. Typically, activity peaks in early September and mostly stops by November.

As of August 16, 2019, an analysis of NASA satellite data indicated that total fire activity across the Amazon basin this year has been close to the average in comparison to the past 15 years.

Pop star Pink is the latest celebrity to defend the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as she accused critics of 'bullying' them over their use of private jets.

Attn Pink, this is bullying...

The Global Warming Thought Police Want Skeptics In 'Jail'

Sir Elton John has defended the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's use of private jets - and said he paid to carbon offset their trip to his French home.

The singer said he provided Prince Harry, Meghan and their son Archie with his private plane to "maintain a high level of much-needed protection".

The royal couple have faced criticism after newspapers claimed they took four private jet journeys in 11 days, including to Sir Elton's home in Nice.

Buckingham Palace declined to comment.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were embroiled in another hypocrisy row today after being pictured leaving the south of France over the weekend in a fourth trip by private jet in just 11 days.

Prince Harry and Meghan, who have been outspoken on environmental issues in recent months, generated an estimated seven times the emissions per person compared to a commercial flight when flying home from Nice.

The private jet Harry and Meghan used to fly out to Spain cost £20,000 for the journey and was from a fleet dubbed 'the Uber for billionaires', it can be revealed.

The eco-campaigning royal couple flew on a nine-seater aircraft from NetJets, a plane sharing service used by the super rich.

Yes, most people want to live on a planet that is clean and less polluted, but they don’t want to pay reparations to the elite ruling glass, submitting to carbon taxes and geoengineering schemes that have unintended consequences. The real problem with the environment is the Hollywood A-listers who fly around the world pretending they can save the planet. Moreover, eliminating carbon from the atmosphere will have unintended consequences.

It’s easy to photograph a chunk of ice breaking off of Greenland in the summer months, but no one is under water during the winter documenting how the ice forms slowly along the bottom. It’s easy to cherry-pick temperature data during a warm front, as long as the data allows you to confirm a theory that will keep money rolling in to fund your “research.”

Australian radio shock jock Alan Jones has lashed out at Jacinda Ardern - calling her a "complete clown" and a "lightweight Prime Minister".

"I just wonder whether Scott Morrison is going to be fully briefed to shove a sock down her throat," he said on Sydney radio station 2GB.

Jones and other Aussies earlier slammed Ardern over pointed comments aimed at Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison over climate change, claiming she had a "cargo cult mentality".

Ardern and Morrison both landed in Tuvalu for the Pacific Islands Forum, where Australia is facing pressure to take greater action on climate change.

Just before the weekend, area youth protested over inaction on climate change. Part of the protest involved spray painting a message on Seattle City Hall, including, “Strike for our future.”

In 2016, it was reported that the world’s data centres used more than Britain’s total electricity consumption - 416.2 terawatt hours, significantly higher than the UK’s 300 terawatt hours. At three percent of the global electricity supply and accounting for about two percent of total greenhouse gas emissions, data centres have the same carbon footprint as the aviation industry.

Recent predictions state that the energy consumption of data centres is set to account for 3.2 percent of the total worldwide carbon emissions by 2025 and they could consume no less than a fifth of global electricity. By 2040, storing digital data is set to create 14 percent of the world’s emissions, around the same proportion as the US does today.

The climate is changing, and it has been changing for a very long time. In fact, the climate has always been changing, and there are a myriad of factors that influence climate change like solar activity and much more. If you’re not educated on climate science, it’s easy to adopt the “doomsday” perspective that’s often dished out by mainstream media. However, when you look at what actual climate scientists are saying, it doesn’t seem like anyone on either side agrees with the media’s “climate hysteria” narrative...

What was once a conspiracy theory is now the subject of congressional debate, peer-reviewed studies, and now a Harvard experiment. Harvard scientists will attempt to replicate the climate-cooling effect of volcanic eruptions with a world-first solar geoengineering experiment. The university announced this month that it has created an external advisory panel to examine the potential ethical, environmental and geopolitical impacts of this geoengineering project, which has been developed by the university’s researchers.

BBC presenter Andrew Neil was among those to point out the irony, saying: 'Scores of celebrities and the rich have arrived in Sicily for a Google conference. They came in 114 private jets and a flotilla of super yachts. The conference is on global warming.'

Sources told Page Six that the total cost of the Google-funded showpiece would run to around $20million.

The combined carbon footprint of dozens of flights from Google's Los Angeles base to the Verdura resort would also come to around 780 tonnes of C02, although it is not clear where all the guests travelled from.

Environmental group WWF tweeted: 'This is a #ClimateEmergency - not something that should be celebrated. #Hottestdayoftheyear.'

One social media responded saying 'It's called summer', while another told the organisation to 'have a day off'.

The Green Party added: 'Hey @BBC Some records we really don't want to break. #hottestdayoftheyear #ClimateEmergency.'

Responses to the Green Party's tweet included 'oh calm down Mary' and 'It's called weather'.

One night in 1872, the temperature in New York City never dropped below 80 degrees.

And this was without the 8°C Urban Heat Island now occurring in New York City.

For all the talk of “climate crisis” and “we’re all gonna die if we don’t stop global warming,” it turns out that city-dwelling liberals use far more energy than conservative, rural Americans.

Gore’s 20-room, 10,070-square-foot, Colonial-style mansion consumed an average of 19,241 kilowatt-hours per month—more than 21.3 times that of the U.S. household average of 901 kilowatt-hours monthly.

Last September alone, Gore’s home in the toney Belle Meade section of Music City consumed 30,993 kWh, as much energy as a typical American family uses in 34 months.

In the 12-month period from August 2016 through the end of July, Gore burned through 230,889 kWh of electricity, including 66,159 kWh just to heat his swimming pool. The latter alone is enough, the report says, “to power six average U.S. households for a year.”

This is the state of much of the Sierra, where aerial surveys from 2010 and 2018 counted 147 million trees that died from drought and invasive beetles. A key at-risk burn zone is between 4,000- and 6,000-foot elevations on the west flank of the central Sierra, where large swaths of pine trees lay dead. Other high-risk areas include the west flank of Yosemite and national forest just north of Lake Tahoe, according to a study and map analysis by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection and the U.S. Forest Service.

It’s a testament to the new era of wildfire danger: Even in a year with landmark rain and snow totals in California, and a benign start to fire season in June, the chance of another round of catastrophic wildfires this late summer and fall has fire experts cringing.

“It’s just a matter of time,” says Amy Head, a Cal Fire battalion chief. “When it happens, we’re looking at dry standing fuel ready to burn, and it could be pretty catastrophic.”

The Chief of Staff for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez stated that her signature Green New Deal was not really about saving the planet after all.

In a report by the Washington Post, Saikat Chakrabarti revealed that “it wasn’t originally a climate thing at all … we really think of it as a how-do-you-change-the-entire-economy thing.”...

The Pentagon is the “single largest producer of greenhouse gases in the world,” according to a new study about climate change that accuses the Trump administration of being in “various modes of denial” about it.

The report, from Brown University’s ‘Costs of War’ project, focuses specifically on "post-9/11 wars" and their impact on emissions. It estimates the US military has been responsible for 1,212 million metric tons of greenhouse gases between 2001 and 2017. Emissions from “overseas contingency operations” in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq and Syria accounted for more than 400 million metric tons of CO2. In 2017 alone, the report says, “the Pentagon's emissions were greater than all emissions from Sweden or Denmark.”

Reaching the Government's (Left Wing Labour) "ambitious" 100 per cent renewable energy target may increase average households' power bills by $300 a year and will a disproportionately impact low-income households.

It would also see power prices for businesses significantly increase.

This is according to the Independent Climate Change Committee's (ICCC) report into how New Zealand can reach the 100 per cent target.

The report, initially expected to be released in April, will not be publically released for at least a few weeks.

But a copy of the draft report was obtained by the Herald.

It reveals that if New Zealand achieves the target by 2035, there would be "large increases in retail electricity prices from today's levels".

In a study by scientists from Durham and Lancaster University published in Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, researchers examine emissions stemming from the US military's logistical supply chains.

Just taking into account emissions stemming from fuel usage the researchers say that if the US military were a country, it would be the 47th biggest contributor to climate change worldwide, in between Peru and Portugal according to World Bank data.

In 2017, the US military purchased 269,230 barrels of oil per day according to researchers, with the Navy topping all other branches by spending a whopping $4.9 billion on fuel.
