Beware doctors who prioritize ‘sustainability’ over patient welfare – ‘Allowing people to suffer in the name of sustainability’

Linnea Lueken: "Recommends that hospital staff mitigate this alleged danger, primarily by using less anesthesia, or opting for the use of less effective topical or more dangerous intravenous methods because “they have less of a negative environmental impact.” .... Doctors don’t use anesthesia for fun, they do it to reduce pain during medical procedures. These misanthropic M.D.s are advocating nothing more nor less than allowing people to suffer in the name of sustainability. ...
We have protocols in place to limit medical tests on human subjects without their consent. Hospitals should be devoted to healing patients, not experimenting in loony sustainability projects on captive subjects."


No, BBC, Flight Turbulence Is NOT a Worsening Problem in Global Aviation

The BBC article, “Flight turbulence increasing as planet heats up – study,” by reporter Maddie Molloy says: Scientists at Reading University in the UK studied clear-air turbulence, which is harder for pilots to avoid. They found that severe turbulence had increased 55% between 1979 and 2020 on a typically busy North Atlantic route. ... “Following a decade of research showing that climate change will increase clear-air turbulence in the future, we now have evidence suggesting that the increase has already begun,” said Prof Paul Williams, an atmospheric scientist at the University of Reading who co-authored the study...The claims are based on a study, published in Geophysical Research Letters, titled Evidence for Large Increases in Clear-Air Turbulence Over the Past Four Decades.
Anthony Watts: "The scientists cited by the BBC completely ignored a 2021 report by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) which plotted accident data related to turbulence, finding no statistically significant increase since 1989, despite a tremendous increase in passengers and miles flown." See Figure 1 below:

António Guterres lashed out at the fossil fuels industry following a meeting with civil society groups, the Associated Press reported. The industry, he said, is "trading the future" for money. Guterres urged them to move "away from a product incompatible with human survival." "The problem is not simply fossil fuel emissions... It’s fossil fuels – period," he said.

"The environmentalist movement is a political weapon. It unites the most powerful special interests in the world behind an agenda that will further centralize power and wealth, eliminate any hope of financial independence for the vast majority of people, and transition previously free and independent nations into managed, sham democracies that have lost their sovereign agency."

Watch: Morano on Jesse Watters on Fox News smoking cigar & talks ‘weaponizing’ Canadian smoke: ‘We will have to go without gas stoves, vehicles, & eating meat because these fires are allegedly caused by ‘climate change’ Jesse Watters Primetime - Fox News Channel - Broadcast June 7, 2023

.

Morano: "I’m just pointing out that it is probably healthier right now to smoke a cigar than it is to go outside your studio and breathe Justin Trudeau’s air that he has exported from Canada. If they really wanted to get kids to smoke the equivalent of half a pack of cigarettes, they ought to send the cigarettes directly to the kids, and they could avoid all the flight closures and all the other havoc...This is a Canadian natural disaster, mismanagement, and now they are trying to blame global warming, which makes it; what? Our fault. It’s our SUVS. It’s our gas stoves, which, by the way, didn’t New York ban them? Shouldn’t wildfires be a thing of the past?" ...
Morano: "Trudeau is trying to imitate China; he is following it with his tyrannical crush on free speech and the dissidence of the Freedom Convoy and now trying to imitate China’s air quality. He can’t get enough of China, and now he is exporting all of that to the United States."
Morano: "San Francisco is still a less attractive place to live than New York City with all the fog. I don’t care if you can’t see the Statue of Liberty. No one wants to go to San Francisco even though they may have cleaner air for today only."

You are being conned: Data, studies & UN IPCC all reveal Canadian fires not due to ‘climate change’ – ‘There has been a significant & continuing decline in the number of fires’Marc Morano statement: "The media and climate activists are again weaponizing wildfires and linking them to climate change. Wildfires, both globally and in Canada, have been declining significantly. Despite these facts, climate activists now want to use Canada's wildfires as another excuse to take away even more of our freedoms and raise the price of electricity. Better forest management, cracking down on arson, and improved fire impression practices are what is needed, not the Green New Deal.
Blaming global warming for the fires makes them 'our fault' -- it's our SUVs, our gas stoves, which have caused these Canadian fires and smoke! Now they can use this as a premise to justify more regulations to fix the problem. First, masks, stay-at-home orders, school, business, and sporting event cancelations. Second, to 'fix' the climate, we will give up more freedoms and modern necessities like gas-powered cars, eating meat, home appliances, freedom of movement, and cheap reliable energy. Welcome to climate lockdowns."

Watch: Morano on Rebel TV on banning flights, appliances, limiting food: ‘Since Jan. 2023, the acceleration of this agenda for us — the unwashed masses — has been nothing I’ve ever seen’The Ezra Levant Show - Rebel TV - Broadcast June 5, 2023



Morano: "It's not just the culling of cows, we're seeing; it is going after high-yield agriculture. We're seeing it go after particularly the climate compliance regulations going after the small-time farmers. But we just saw France beginning their climate lockdowns last week, banning short-haul flights. At the same time, we're seeing Germany talking about massive meat restrictions down to one sausage a month. Since January, the acceleration of this agenda for us -- the unwashed masses -- has been nothing I've ever seen. It's almost as if they think their time is limited, and they're rushing all of this through almost all of it without any vote of democracy.
They're going after the collapse of energy, food transportation, and, yes, free speech as well. If you dare to complain, it's immediate misinformation. But the animal agenda goes back to the Net Zero commitments. They're going after animal agriculture! This has been on the table for decades. ... "Bill Gates stated goal, in being America's single largest farmland owner, is to make us all eat what he calls synthetic meat," said Morano.

Watch: Morano on OAN TV on France flight bans: ‘This is what a climate lockdown looks like. This is what the Great Reset looks like’One America News - In Focus w/ Alison Steinberg - Broadcast June 2, 2023



Morano: "The thing about France is, you can't take short flights under two and a half hours. Well, originally, the French government wanted to do four hours and under flight bans. So we should be thankful to our betters that they reduced it to 2 1/2 hours (Morano bows in deference) because otherwise, it'd be four hours. Greenpeace wants an EU-wide flight ban on six-hour and under flights. And this is already spreading to Spain and Austria and Germany -- they're already talking about similar types of flight bans."

Watch: Morano on Newsmax TV banning airline flights: ‘The fix is in’ – ‘They are abolishing the middle class, they are treating us like the unwashed masses’



Newsmax TV - Frontline w/ Carl Higbie - Broadcast June 1, 2023
Morano: "This is almost like religious fanaticism. They're doing it in order to achieve this utopian vision. And it's like they're imposing a religion, an austerity upon the rest of us.
They're collapsing our energy, our food, our transportation, our free speech, and this is all through corporate government collusion, mostly without an ounce of democracy, just like COVID -- when they closed schools and churches and work and issued stay-at-home orders and canceled weddings, funerals, and medical procedures. All of that was done without a single vote. It was done because the virus demanded it. Well, now they change the word 'virus' to the 'climate' demands it."

Watch: Morano on Fox News on climate flight bans: ‘You will go nowhere & be happy’ – ‘Flying is going to be a venue only for the rich’ & they are ‘intentionally creating car shortages’ – ’15-minute cities’ like E. Germany



Fox News Channel - Fox News Tonight - w/ Joey Jones - Broadcast June 1, 2023
Morano: "You will go nowhere and be happy. This is happening all over the world. Bloomberg News did an article about how cheap airline travel is basically a thing of the past because of 'climate compliance' laws. So this is happening globally. We haven’t banned flights yet in the United States, but we can certainly see airline prices going up. Flying is going to be a venue only for the rich. Private jets are not going to face these restrictions. ...
In this Net Zero world which we have signed onto, the United States is fully participating -- we have 15-minute cities being experimented in Europe. It's kind of like the old East Germany, if you leave your sector, you have to pay your fine and can only leave 95 times a year if you leave your little 15-minute area.
You have activists, those people you see defacing art, blocking traffic, they’re calling for a national 'climate emergency'. Guess what happens in a national 'climate emergency'? These activists claim you can only fly when it’s 'morally justifiable'. So if you want to go to Florida for a beach trip, that is not happening, but if you have to go for a funeral, maybe. ...
The Biden Administration is intentionally creating car shortages by mandating electric cars. We’re going to face a situation where they’re trying to force us into mass transit by raising the cost of cars. There’s no way they can meet the utopian vision, but they can restrict our movement."

Flashback 2021: You were warned! Watch: COVID lockdowns morphing into climate lockdowns – Morano on Tucker Carlson

Jane Fonda blames ‘white men’ for climate change – Morano responds: ‘This is actually a mainstream view as identity politics has invaded the entire climate change movement’ "This is the woman who said that COVID was God's gift to the Left because it empowered the entire progressive agenda," he recalls. "But what Jane Fonda said here, specifically about white men are responsible for climate change and we should arrest and jail them – this is not an outlier view. This is actually a mainstream view as identity politics has invaded the entire climate change movement and climate science."

France’s Ban on Short-Haul Flights Will Kill People – ‘You’re 2,200 times more likely to die when traveling by car as opposed to by airplane’VERONIQUE DE RUGY of Reason Mag: A recent study out of Harvard University found that, for people traveling within the United States, Europe, and Australia, the chances of being killed while flying are 1 in 11 million, while the chances of being killed while driving are 1 in 5,000. Put differently, you're 2,200 times more likely to be killed when traveling by car as opposed to by airplane. By diverting some travelers from the air to the roadways, the French government will almost certainly cause more travelers to die. Political theater, it turns out, can be deadly. ...
One undesirable effect is a longer time spent traveling. Because people's time is valuable and could otherwise be spent working, studying or with family and friends, the cost of traveling what the French government considers to be short distances will rise. Did Monsieur Macron carefully weigh this cost against the ban's benefits? I'm pretty sure he didn't. He just assumed that people's time is of sufficiently low value to justify the flight ban. Tres arrogant!

Wash Post complicit in climate protests!? ‘Staff reporters were initially subjected to a potential arrest’ due to advance alert of crime at Fed art gallery – Fmr NYT reporter suggests WaPo guilty of ‘crimes’WTOP: The two climate protesters who smeared paint on the case and base of Edgar Degas’ “Little Dancer Aged Fourteen” in the National Gallery of Art on April 27 were arrested Friday. Timothy Martin of North Carolina and Joanna Smith of New York, both 53, were charged with conspiracy to commit an offense against the United States and injury to a National Gallery of Art exhibit.
Washington Post reporters alerted about the attack filmed and photographed the offense. ...The Washington Post reported that it’s staff reporters were initially subjected to a potential arrest but, after speaking with attorneys, they were not detained. District police have not commented on the report. ...
The protesters are calling for President Biden to declare a formal state of climate emergency and said the sculpture was damaged to highlight “insufficient action on the climate emergency.”

Meteorologist Dr. Ryan Maue: "What the hell? This story identifies the Washington Post as the media outlet **alerted ahead of time of criminal acts at the National Gallery of Art** and showed up with cameras. Sounds like accomplices or co-conspirators = Jail 'Washington Post reporters alerted about the attack filmed and photographed the offense.'" ... They did not act alone: More from Wash Post on far-reaching criminal conspiracy to attack the National Gallery of Art. And alerted one member of the media (who was there with a camera and speedily edited the footage lickety-split for Wash Post)."
Former New York Times reporter Andrew Revkin suggested "crimes" may have been committed by the Washington Post. "If yours, were you randomly visiting the @NationalGallery or alerted ahead of time? Seems a fine line between journalism and P.R. if the latter? No easy answer," Revkin wrote, then adding, "crimes?"
