Climate Change Hysteria Wankers

“i’m a doctor to the planet,” the ecologist professor smugly told me.  He then went on to insist that his department needed all the funding in the university for research. He felt all governments needed to give all their money to the study of his ‘new kind on the block proposals.’  When psychology became a university department we heard all kinds of utopian claims.  Always they’re followed by ‘give us all the money. We’re most important."
Kiota Accords.
The United Nations.
“Don’t you care about planet Gaia?"
Lots of ad hominem.  “You’re a climate change ‘denier’"
“I”m not in denial you offensive little smegma. You’re misusing the language of psychiatry. I’m a psychiatrist. Biochemistry and chemistry were my pre medicine majors. I’m a scientist too.  I’ve heard every department in the university demanding money by saying that the world is going to end if they don’t get more money. You’re not new.  I’m just a little skeptical.  It’s an admirable trait in a scientist."
“You’re in denial."
“No i’m not. Again that’s a word from my scientific vocabulary. You’re an offensive little shit for calling me and other scientists names.  You’re a bully and a shit. So fuck off. That’s the language scientists use between scientists. Not this priggish political correctness bs."
So
1) Climate Changes….no one denies this.  You dreamed up the whole denial business because you are a bloody wanker.  There, wanker is a better term for you than denier is for me.  There are seasons. Seasons are change.  There are cycles. Cycles are change. There’s different temperatures throughout the day. No one doubts the ice age. Even the Bible talks about droughts and floods.  So shut the fuck up with your obnoxious bullying thug language couched in political correctness as an attempt to conceal the utter evil chicanery. The greatest political correct spokesman of all time was Hitler. He called the extermination of Jews as the ‘the Solution’. Didn’t mention Auschwitz gas camps. Didn’t mentioned killing and maiming babies. Just called it ’the Solution’. He was the supreme wanker of his day.  So yes I compare wankers.
2) Is the climate getting hotter? Probably. But heat isn’t too good but we’d better watch out if it’s cooling because the ice age something we really don’t want started tomorrow. Maybe if you live in LA it’s terrible to think of heat but I’ve lived in Winnipeg and the Arctic and I know an ice age would be more catastrophic, History says they really were.
3) Is Man ‘causing’ the presumed heating up of the planet?  No one doubts that he contributes. Politicians and climate change activists and everyone else expells hot air. Even wankers know that when they fart they heat up the atmosphere around them.  The question isn’t whether man and women are contributing but to what percent.  The Sun is the major heater in the Solar System. I know there are Sun deniers a plenty.  But the Sun is a particularly significant heat source.  Galileo and the Pope were at odds before. The present Pope seems on board with one group of scientists, the UN lot. The Catholic church got it wrong about Hitler. I preferred Bonhoeffer to the Pope of that day. This fellow though  seems a pretty jolly fellow.  But to err is human.  But lets be conciliatory with the paranoid arch evil climate change fanatics with their psychotic hysteria. Yes man farts. Yes man breathes. Yes CO2 is made by man and there is a need for less parking lots and more trees. I’ve written before I’m all in favour of cities being outlawed by the ecologists. The Pol Pot tried this.  They only killed millions but their ideology was another kind of hysteria.  Cities were bad.  Cities are bad. Those who live in cities are the most wasteful and leave the greatest carbon foot print.  So lets be serious about climate change and stop high rises. Universities have to stop building wasteful campuses.  Climate change conferences have to stop so that fewer jet trails will occur. All the ‘hot air’ of the United Nations should decease and desist.  It’s not just fossil fuels despite the take any sane person would have that this is more about an anti oil, gas and petroleum product political movement than anything truly concerned about the world future.
4) And if we admit that man contributes to climate change and his contribution can be changed by practical means such as limiting city growth then could the climate change hysterics admit that their projects are out by hundreds if not thousands of years.  We heard 10 year. We were told we had 10 years to live. We then got 100 years but the latest projections, projections which have been repeatedly off by decades, is thousands of years.  Science is about developing solutions and the solutions which can be developed in the next hundred years are light years further along than what we’ve done this last 100 years. There’s a science to this advance in solution resolving capabilities. The Science of Solution says that the capacity to solve problems scientifically outweighs the Capacity of Man to find problems.  Calm down the sky is not falling and we’re not going to boil up off the planet.  The prime and most expensive ocean side real estate shall lose value. This is a fact. All those who bought property close to the ocean are going to lose their shirts. Those poor folk with land in the midwest will see an increase in their investments.
5) Stop denying politics.  With change in energy source, China will gain from selling cheap solar panels while Canada will lose because it’s major resource has been natural products not manufactureing. We need to make a cheaper solar panel than China and make our Candu Uranium Generators safer and superior to the competitors.  That said wars are more likely to kill more people than heat.  Wars and famine have always been killers. Migration now is causing a whole lot of death. One child was found washed up on a beach. That wasn’t climate change. That was war.  If we want to stop war we can’t get there by marching for peace. I did that. It didn’t work.  The greatest peace marches of all time were in the 30’s occurring as the Nazis were arming.  Politics and power cost more lives than climate.
6) Now even when we agree that there is a problem.  But climate change hysterics are the sort that could find a problem on a blank wall, what is the solution.  What is the cost. How much money do you want?  The Kiota accords mean everyone in Canada pays everyone in hot countries their old age pension. It’s about that much. Yet tit for tat, no one paid us in Canada for being in the undesirable cold marginal world space while everyone else was living it up in the south. The reason is that no one in the north was smart enough politically to come up with a reverse Kiota Accord. With the old logic of war our forefathers conquered and took the winnings. Every single nation today has forefathers and foremothers who used that logic. The new deconstructionist logic is that we should be guity about our forefathers success and give to the southerners more resources. Carbon tax is just ‘more’ tax by a a different name.  I don’t want to give more taxes to a government that has proved it has no limit to it’s greed and waste.
7) The ecology department at the universities wants trillions of dollars. They have had millions and have been reduced to calling names because their science isn’t as sophisticated as the medical departments which literally wiped out malaria, the plague and all but cured AIDS>  I’d rather give my money to medicine.  I want to live a long life and I learned today that blood transfusions may be the answer against dementia.  Politically the United Nations other than the WHO organization couldn’t agree to fight it’s way out of a wet bag. It’s contributions to history have been utterly appalling.  Lots of cost and very little product for relative investment. Even the building has to be in the US because in most other places in the world the members would tear each other apart. Thanks to our forefathers the UN can exist but that doesn’t mean the tail should wag the dog.
8) I read a delightful book on Yellowstone National Park. It is the only patient that the Ecologists have so far had. I recommend everyone read this book on the history of the ecological interventions into Yellowstone National Park.  It’s a nightmare. Every ecologist solution created worse problems All their bright ideas cost worst waste. If my colleague who refers to himself with the height of arrogance as ‘doctor to the planet’ then he should also admit that he’s about where modern day medicine was therapeutically centuries ago.  Modern ecology isn’t even at the level of leeching.
9) So frankly I don’t want to give these clowns any more money. I know that ‘money’ and ‘grants’ are a pie and I know that they want the whole pie. The psychologists did too but have settled down into being a bit like the English department.  Languages in general is amazing but they really don’t want that much money. They do wonders for taking a lot of the fire out of debates. When people actually learn to speak their alternatives language there’s less fatuous thuggery like calling people ‘deniers’.  Accountants want to know what the climate change hysterics want in actual sums of money.  The question is simply is this the best way to spend my money.
10) the fact is people like variety. I had a ride in the Tesla car. It was fashionable. I’m more likely to buy it because of the quiet and lack of noise pollution than I am because of the energy debate. As a scientist I know how much coal is used to produce the electricity the electric cars run off. Just because the exhaust is over a factory far away, and therefore politically correct, doesn’t mean the car doesn’t have a huge carbon foot print.  Still it’s cute.  So lots of people are going to buy cute.  So when the strident ex hippy dope smoking loud mouths get off their soapboxes there will be diversity. It probably would have occurred because people like the colour green. We like paradise too. So since the industrial age we’ve been making great inroads in advancing technology with less destruction.  War is still a bit. And ISIS continues to chop off heads and destroy tourist sites destroying the future of whole peoples. I’d rather see money spent on killing ISIS and Boco Harem wankers than giving it to the guys whose best product is the history of Yellowstone National Park.  My total experience of the Climate Change folk is their strident hysteria and self righteous religious fervour but with little down to earth actual cash discussions. Their ‘Solution’ is to my mind as costly as the Nazi solution. I believe the planet will last a lot longer than the United Nations and the climate change financial orgy.  I think the department of medicine would spend the money the climate change folk want better. I think the engineers in general could build a better NASA escape elevator and maybe devise an umbrella to block the sun to a considerable part of the planet. Maybe with more money spent on space flight we could pick up some ice from space and rebuild the declining glaciers.  We don’t ever get around to discussing the ludicrousy of climate change projects because we’ve never got beyond them having great bitch fest talks and demanding more and more money.
I don’t like them.  I don’t.  There’s something about them that turns me off.  In fact I find the climate change histerics a bit evil.  I don’t trust them with the planet. I don’t trust the United Nations (period).  I think the climate change hysterics are academic terrorists.  And I think someone should tell the wankers to stop being greedy and to take their rightful johnny come lately place at the academic feeding trough. My money is on the robotic guys to come up with some incredible ‘solution’ and it will just happen scientifically without all that arty farty emotional hug fest and name calling Hollywood pissing contest.  That’s what I think.  I’m not voting for anyone who wants me to pay more money to some guys telling me they are going to save the world.  Wasn’t anyone paying attention when these same wankers insisted the world was going to end with the ozone layer disappearing, or the world was going to end at 2000 because the computers would shut down.
Didn’t you just notice we had Blood moons in spades and eclipses. The Mayans prophecies and the Messianic Jewish prophecies and Nostradamus and the galaxy and Yom Kippur all happened and the planet did not disappear. The rapture didn’t even occur and all the Wiccan ladies had to continue on with their day jobs because the season of the witch didn’t do anything.  That’s prophecy for you.
My prophecy is that we’ll survive. Some of us.  The others will die.  The human race will prevail.  And this will look like a fart to a future race of historians who look through history with their noses seeking to smell a rat. Something stinketh this way cometh.
And one day the banks will disappear and lawyers and doctors and socialists and capitalists like the tribal leaders of a yesteryear. And children in a future year will have individual energy and fly with thought alone and maybe engineered wings.  There will be heaven on earth and we’ll probably not notice because we have a tendency to focus more on things we fear than on things we love.  I’ll end being thankful.  What a great day this is. What a wonderful world.  The future is bright.  Maybe I’ll wear shades. Maybe I’ll not.

Tourism Today

Tourism today

There has always been tourism.  Over the centuries the explanations have changed.  The Australian term ‘walk about’ is perhaps the best explanation ever.

The question of “Why” you are going on a “walk-about” is different, especially depending on whose is asking and often the personal reason for going ‘exploring’, “visiting”, ‘wandering”.

Buddhist genius, Trungpa, described Western motivation as “spiritual consumerism’.  There is a kind of “Pacman” mentality to the tourism of the secular materialists who deny their own religious frenzy for tourism while mocking medieval ‘pilgrimages’.  

Often tourism has been coupled with war and conquest.  Certainly the navy has attracted many sailors interested simply in visiting brothels in different ports.   It certainly wasn’t a good reason to sign up for WWII but many a GI returned with tales of Paris after his tour overseas.  

In the days of DH Lawrence some time ‘abroad’ was considered essential for the well rounding of the English upper classes. Byron’s journals are a great read of a writer ‘abroad’.  Today there’s a regular ‘travel journalism’ that has flourished as it’s own genre.

I have been a tourist and indeed like many Canadians look forward to the opportunity to do more ‘travel’ if ever I can retire.  The great times of prolonged tourism in the west are in one’s 20’s before or after completing an extended stint of schooling or at retirement when one has acquired sufficient assets to afford the cost.  In between, tourism is often about a week or two, maybe four, away from home as part of an annual holiday.  This competes with the obviously less costly alternative of kicking back in the yard barbecuing or hanging out at the local beach.

What has interested me in the last decades is the increase in ‘tourism’ of a sort that may well have always been around but was less in the normal consciousness.

1. War Tourism – In the Civil War of the United States the gentlemen and gentle ladies early in the war road out to the ‘observe the war’.  Today the military describe increasing numbers of non combatant military and non military in the war zone. As one grizzly war worn Canadian sgte said, “I get tired of being the guy that shows the Ottawa desk brass around like tourists so they can get their promotions.  I’m supposed to ‘show’ them the war but they’re not supposed to get hurt. They’re at least military. There’s all the other government officials and dignitaries. Some are just voyeurs.  They’re there for titillation and to tell their friends at home.   Sometimes all we’re doing is showing people around the theatre. “  In addition to that there’s the hoards of “journalists, photographers, paparrazzi and general media’ today who flock to war zones like migratory birds.  There’s a thousand different ‘reasons’ given for everyone there ‘observing’ and those ‘observing so others can see’ but the fact remains it’s all about the killing. The soldiers are the game and everyone else is a tourist by comparison.
2. Poverty Tourism – I confess I liked going to Mexico when a dollar or two bought me a hotel room.  Tourism for many has been going somewhere ‘cheap’ .  Paris was famous with artists at the turn of the century and then in the 30’s simply because it was cheap. Today it’s no longer a place for artists but rather art dealers and their banker art buyers. “Moveable Feast” of DH Lawrence and Hemingway era describes a Paris of poverty where poor artists could live cheap.  To day this is more likely to be found in Eastern Europe or Asia.  Young people commonly explain their flocking to such meccas as ‘ideological’ but the fact remains that in the cities where the booze, drugs , food and shelter are cheapest and the political climate is relatively safe, there will be the young intellectuals and artists.  The Greek Islands were that for Leonard Cohen and countless others. What is interesting is the ‘reason’ today for some of these tourists is that they claim they are there ‘in solidarity’ or for some ‘nobler reason’ than simple ‘tourism’.
3. Missionary Tourism – I was amused to see a fellow sailor trying to raise funds for his cruise in the Pacific by declaring that he planned to ‘distribute bibles in the Polynesian islands”.  This was in the 21^st century and since I’ve considered doing the same myself. The fact remains that I did sail my boat to Hawaii and thoroughly enjoyed sailing the Hawaian Islands as a ‘simple’ tourist.   Where ‘education’ was once sufficient explanation for ‘tourism’ increasingly there is a need to wed simple voyeurism with a religious motif.  So many ‘missionary’ projects depend on their maintenance by inviting rich and influential westerners to Third World countries offering them a chance to visit an orphanage and help build a church or some such thing while really providing a kind of tourism for those who might not otherwise leave the safety and normalcy of their own homes.
4. Ecological Tourism – as Ecology has become the new Religion and Gaia or the Earth Mother as the new Goddess, a variation of Missionary Tourism has developed in the Secular Materialist sets with various ‘tourist’ projects set up for usually young and impressionable people to join the ‘war against climate change’ by visiting a damn or irrigation project.  
5. Sex Tourism – I suspect this has been around since cave man times, men being men.  One caveman might well have said to another , “Hey, mate, care to search for a bit of strange”. Given the barreness of northern Ireland and Scotland and lack of riches, it’s historically recorded that the Viking and Europeans and countless other cultures were attracted to those regions perhaps solely to steal the incomparably beautiful women. Indeed the men there may well have taken up wearing skirts in hope of having a sailor get them away from Hagis and Porridge fare.
6. Health Care Tourism – Since the time of Delphi and before the sick have been wandering off looking for cures wherever. Pain is as great a motivator as lust it seems even today when Mexican dentists , Thailand Sex Change Surgery and American Mayo Clinics compete for the sick tourists who today demand far more than the ‘baths’ or the ‘healing waters’.  I’m personally fond of Harrison HotSprings Spa near Agazziz, British Columbia.  Cosmetic surgery has long had a ‘global’ competition for tourist dollars with many competitive sites.  In the end the decision of one comparable surgical team with another might well be decided by whether there is a nearby golf course or beach depending on the procedures. Certainly Addiction treatment facilities, like Betty Ford, have catered to the tourism consideration of spas and pools and massage facilities.  Of course the end of the road poor and wasted patient is more likely to be dependent of a local church based service without any of the more ‘attractive’ amenities.
7. Adventure Tourism – This industry has literally sky rocketed in the last decades.  It’s not new given the original Hudson Bay Company was called the “Company of Adventurers’. Though in those days ‘profit motive’ was associated with ‘adventure’ Today it’s more likely that the tourist servers will be the ones that make the money as opposed to the tourists who are willing to pay exorbitantly for anything from swimming with sharks, climbing Everest or flying to Antarctica.

In the end it's just a 'walk about' but it's always best if someone else pays.  I think Columbus did it best by getting the King and Queen to pay for his little adventure.  Of course today the favoured 'tourism' package is the 'government investigation' .  In Canada countless government officials took the opportunity to leave dreary cold wet snowy Canada to visit the hot Caribbean Island, Haiti, to "assess the islands need for foreign aid'.  Whatever.  A walk about is a walk about however one explains or packages it.  

Eco-Jihadists

When I was a teen ager I knew how the world should run. I thought everyone should listen to me. I was right. I didn't know where my genius and special knowledge came from. I just knew I was right and they were wrong. I had all kinds of arguments that proved I was right and I never listened to any of the arguments that 'they' made because they were wrong and I needed to work on my arguments to get them better. I think I believed I represented 'youth' or some such proud ideal then. Later I was with people who knew what was right because they spoke for God and God spoke to them and not to you. Then there were people I knew who knew what was right because their party said they were right and they said their party was right. Over the years all of these people have at one time or another shouted at me, some have even punched and beat me, others have shot at me and one tried to knife me. I didn't agree with them and these kind of people don't tolerate others who disagree with them even though they always claim to be tolerant and kind and good. There's no sense taking the high ground when you're being a low life. So today there's a whole lot of people claiming to represent or speak for Earth. This is an old God called Gaia to some but she speaks to everyone though today to hear some people only they know what Gaia wants and only they speak for Gaia. It does sound like the 'one true Goddess' argument. It does sound like I'm right you're wrong. It does sound like Kent State and Buffalo Springfields haunting words, "People carrying signs, mostly say hoorah for outside." I'd get off the planet myself to get away from these people who would punch me in the nose if I disagreed with them on anything because they've left logic and gone into that emotional reasoning space which was long ago called the 'paranoid position'. "I'm right. You're wrong" and "I'm the victim, you're the victimizer". And I'm trying to save the child planet but really we're talking a lot about the teen ager within not the child within. And I know the teen ager hasn't grown up and is really angry and having temper tantrums and pouts and all that other drama that goes with all that free ranging emotionality that looks for some cause to land on, like the rebel without a cause. I just want to say that you don't speak for my planet or our planet or my mother our our mother. Your 'entitlement' isn't something that she respects because frankly by any reckoning she's a wise old lady not a snot nosed bullying adolescent. I still like the Beatles song, "We don't want a Revolution". It's a fitting reminder. I still believe in non violence and find even the language today of violant hyperbole reminiscent of the communist sloganeering that lead to millions being butchered in prisons. They were 'saving the people'. But it's no different. Just the same old "Rescuers and Victims" story.

ps having written this I heard a horrible tale of japanese whaling the breaking of international laws as well as the poaching in several countries where local authorities were assisted by people really concerned with protecting the environment from criminals.  It's worthwhile remembering this and not painting whole groups with the same brush even if some loud yahoos are particularly irritating. I'd also just seen a terrific episode of Primeval in which an insane person wanted to kill the human race so that insects could prosper. I identified well with the writer who thankfully did had the law breaking criminal attacked by their own version of the 'noble savage', but this time from the animal world. I especially loved reading about the group proposing to paint all the tusks of elephants and rhinoceros to ruin the economic value of the tusks for poachers, a recent horrendous slaughter getting in the news.  This struck me as an amazing idea though I still think punishment of poachers is equally mandatory.

Global Warming on Mars

There was a scientist called Copernicus. He said in his day that the Earth revolved around the Sun rather than the Sun revolving around the Earth. He was rather abused by the political authorities of his day who insisted otherwise.

Al Gore and others have finally accepted that there is global warming on Mars and the other planets as the politically incorrect scientists of NASA have been telling them.

Hence the Mars probe and other evidence about lack of Martians is clearly wrong. Global warming on Mars is the first firm evidence of the existence of Martians as who else would be driving the SUV's on their planet.
