JoNova: Electric regret: Almost half of Australian and US EV owners want to go back to a combustion engine.

Nearly half of American owners of electric cars want to switch back to traditional cars powered by internal combustion engines, according to a consumer survey released by McKinsey and Co. earlier this month.

World famous Chef Rubio assaulted by Zionists.

LINK

^ Prominent Italian chef Gabriele Rubini (known as Chef Rubio) posted on his account on "X", revealing that a group of zionists ambushed and attacked him outside his home over his support for Palestine. "They waited for me outside my house, six of them, and cut the gate wires to 'massacre me,'" [said Rubio].

This poor man, who did nothing more than voice concern for Palestinians (NOT HAMAS), who've been abused by Israel for decades, and he gets the shit beaten out of him, six against one. Six!

I'll save you the time searching for it. As of publishing time, no reporting by MSM on this act of violence and terrorism. What this really is, is a HATE CRIME.

If it had been some well known Jew attacked and beaten by six Palestinians (or six of anyone else) it would be 24/7 MSM Top of The Headline News and it would be described as an anti semitic "Hate Crime."

Have you asked yourself why Ella Emhoff, daughter of Doug Emhoff (aka Mr. Kamala Harris) and Climate Warrior darling of the Left, Greta Thunberg, both support the Palestinians (and in Emhoff's case HAMAS!), and are treated so differently, receiving no backlash or criticism from Liberals or Jews. The hypocrisy is deafening.

Ella Emhoff support for Palestine.

Greta Thunberg support for Palestine.

Salting atmosphere test launched quietly.

Scientific American: Geoengineering Test Quietly Launches Salt Crystals into Atmosphere.

A solar geoengineering experiment in San Francisco could lead to brighter clouds that reflect sunlight. The risks are numerous.

The experiment, which organizers didn't widely announce to avoid public backlash, marks the acceleration of a contentious field of research known as solar radiation modification. The concept involves shooting substances such as aerosols into the sky to reflect sunlight away from the Earth.

The move led by researchers at the University of Washington has renewed questions about how to effectively and ethically study promising climate technologies that could also harm communities and ecosystems in unexpected ways. The experiment is spraying microscopic salt particles into the air, and the secrecy surrounding its timing caught even some experts off guard.
[.]
"The idea of interfering with nature is so contentious, organizers of Tuesday's test kept the details tightly held, concerned that critics would try to stop them," the Times reported. The White House also distanced itself from the experiment, which is being conducted with the cooperation of a Smithsonian-affiliated museum.

"The White House distanced itself from this experiment." Shocker! We know if asked about it, Kareem Abdul-Jean Perrier will, "refer to the University of Washington and the Smithsonian for further details."

"The world is our guinea pig!" These kinds of experiments need to stop.

 

California's next storm may bring 'life-threatening' flooding.

LA Times (Yahoo): 'Prepare now': California's next storm may bring 'life-threatening' flooding.

Officials across Southern California are warning residents to prepare for what could be "life-threatening and damaging flooding" beginning Sunday, as a storm system fueled by a massive atmospheric river brings heavy, sustained rainfall and dangerous waves to an already soaked region.

This storm could dump more than double Thursday's rainfall, which caused significant flooding, road closures and water rescues across the region.

"This is a potentially dangerous situation, and we are urging everyone to be preparing in advance," Ariel Cohen, a National Weather Service meteorologist, said Friday.

EPA overestimating range of EVs. They're unreliable.

Kelly Blue Book - Study: EPA-Certified Range Figures for EVs Unreliable.

EPA ratings are optimistic for most electric models.

A new study suggests that the ranges and fuel economy equivalent figures published by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are not particularly accurate. [  Shocking! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ - Oh well...DD ]

If the EPA’s numbers are off, we should note, then the rest of the world has it even worse. EPA range figures are famously lower than those published by many other governments.

SAE International, a global association of engineers and related technical experts in the aerospace, automotive, and commercial vehicle industries, used data from tests performed by Car and Driver to study real-world EV ranges.

In a 75 mph highway test, Car and Driver found that “more than 350 internal-combustion vehicles averaged 4.0 percent better fuel economy than what was stated on their labels. But the average range for an EV was 12.5 percent worse than the price sticker numbers.”

Say Good-night, Joe.

Biden's SOTUA: All lies. 50 years he and his other career Dems have had to do something about the cost of prescription drugs, among several other issues, but now...now they're going to fix it! Sure.

Everything wrong with the U.S., according to Joe's SOTUA, is due to greedy corporations overcharging customers, "hidden" late fees at resorts, Ticketmaster, cell phone companies charging users $200 to change their carrier - [ WHAT? Who are these people? - DD ] - late charges by credit card companies, which is rich coming from Biden who spent his lifetime whoring for them and his answer to these alleged problems is to regulate the companies more so we have a "little extra" money. According to Joe, the government is blameless.

Eat a Bug Burger. Save the planet!

Rebel News: European Union begins adding bug additives to food.

This week, a new food additive made from bugs began appearing in foods from pizza to pasta to cereals across the European Union, to the surprise of many Europeans.

According to the European Commission ruling that went into effect this month, a cricket powder additive is now approved for use in a wide range of food products, including cereal bars, biscuits, pizza, pasta-based products, and whey powder. The additive could find its way into a variety of confectionaries, soups, and meat preparations.

In order to prepare the crickets for human consumption, they are first checked to make sure their “bowel content” is removed, then frozen. [ Oh, well - as long as their bowel content is removed and they're frozen. Delish! - DD ]

    CONTEXT - From today powder of the house cricket is allowed in a variety of food products in the European Union.https://t.co/I6Tb3fyt5K
    — Disclose.tv (@disclosetv) January 24, 2023

Though many have suggested that the consumption of bugs could become normalized if used as a food additive, some argue that this could be a way for climate change activists to impose their ideologies on people.

The move to include the powdered additive could be used to convince people that bugs have already been in their food, as the European Union recently approved the use of the lesser mealworm, Alphitobius diaperinus, for human consumption.

In November, the Washington Post suggested that Americans forgo their traditional Thanksgiving dinners and instead look to eating bugs as a cheaper alternative.

Al Gore SPAZ OUT at WEF.

Former Vice President Al Gore said that “greenhouse gas pollution” was “boiling the oceans,” causing “rain bombs,” and creating “climate refugees” during remarks at a World Economic Forum (WEF) event in Davos, Switzerland on Tuesday.

Gore joined a panel discussion ostensibly examining what the WEF and the White House regularly describe as a “climate crisis” driven by consumption of fossil fuels. One of the panel’s hosts framed it as a “planetary crisis” driving “mass extinction” while “really putting humanity’s future at risk.”

5) Inflation and bailouts / zombie stimulus

6) Banking restrictions on withdrawals of cash

This is already taking place in Nigeria, where bank customers are limited to withdrawals of just $45 a day of their own money. As more governments and central banks push hard into digital currencies, watch for them to make dealing with cash and banks more and more painful, if not at some point impossible. We anticipate bank freezes, bail-ins and insolvency failures beginning in 2023 and continuing for years to come.

7) Digital money rolling out

8) A new pandemic, worse than covid

9) Worldwide CLIMATE lockdowns and engineered fuel scarcity

10) Populist revolts against corrupt governments and rigged elections

11) Huge pushback against censorship by tech platforms

12) Explosion in home gardening and off grid food production, local food barter

I dunno. Maybe, maybe not. Why I'm skeptical about "predictions"? Because I'm not yet driving one of these, which was predicted decades ago: 

Oh noez! Europe is having a Wind Drought. So much for turbine power.

Green Matters: European Wind Turbines at a Standstill Amid an Ongoing "Wind Drought".

But as of recently, barely even a breeze has made its way through the through the winter air.
[.]
"Britain is in the middle of a wind drought — and the timing couldn't have been worse. For several days now, the U.K. and western Europe have been calm, with barely a breeze," Thomas Moore writes for Sky News.

"It is not until Wednesday, or even Thursday, that speeds pick up in Scotland and the North Sea, where most of our wind farms are. That shows in the mix of energy being used in the freezing conditions."

"The risks could increase with global warming," [🤣 - DD] he continues. "Scientists working for the United Nations' intergovernmental panel on climate change have looked at what could happen to wind speeds in future. Even if the world reaches net zero soon after 2050, limiting the rise in temperature, winds will weaken significantly in the northern hemisphere." ["Even if." FFS. Retardicus Maximus. - DD]
[.]
According to Yale Environment 360, the phrase "wind drought" is exactly what it sounds like — it refers to an extended period of time that an area lacks wind, or experiences slower-than-usual wind speeds. In 2021, wind speeds were 15 percent slower than in previous years, making for one of the least windy periods in the U.K. in nearly 60 years.

What are "usual wind speeds"?

Biden’s Secret Service rental vehicles burst into flames after he left Nantucket vacation.

FOX News: Biden’s Secret Service rental vehicles burst into flames after he left Nantucket vacation.

President Biden's rented Secret Service vehicles burst into flames in a parking lot Monday, just one day after he left his Nantucket vacation.
[.]
The Secret Service rented five vehicles from Hertz to carry the president and his family, and all five of them caught fire in the parking lot, according to footage first obtained by the Nantucket Current.

Footage shows firefighters spraying down the smoldering remains of one vehicle's engine block. The five vehicles included a Chevy Suburban, Ford Explorer, Infiniti QX80, Ford Expedition, and a Jeep Gladiator.

The vehicles were parked at the Nantucket airport and the blaze reportedly spread to just 40 feet away from the facility's jet fuel tanks. It is currently unknown what caused the fire. Fox News reached out to the  White House for information, but they did not immediately respond.

Biden will blame these fires on his usual go-to perps: Trump, Putin or Climate Change. The truth is probably these vehicles did a self-sacrifice and self-combusted to cleanse themselves of Biden Cooties.

Here's a speculative response from an anonymous message board: 

Biden molested three children in Nantucket over Thanksgiving.

Then the secret service torched Biden's cards [sic] (meant "cars") to hide the DNA evidence.

You can't make this stuff up.

He's Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA). She's Raya Salter, a clean energy advocate.

Higgins asked her a perfectly reasonable question. She didn't have an answer. What's the usual response when Liberals can't answer a question? Accuse the other person of being racist, sexist, misogynistic...they default to their favorite "ist", "ism" or "tic".

 

There are no answers because we haven't yet reached technology, with something economical and viable, that allows us to replace petro-based products. Some day, maybe, but not now or in the foreseeable future.

The Former Bronx Bartender and rooftop dancer who pretends she's a relevant member of Congress chimed in with her grandstanding response. She's part of the same committee.

Finland March 2020, "No we'll NOT run out of toilet paper." Finald August 2022, "We're RUNNING OUT of toilet paper."

August 2022:

AW Journal (Archived): Finland warns of toilet paper shortage.

The Finnish company Metsä Tissue, one of Europe’s largest manufacturers of sanitary and hygiene products, has announced the threat of a shortage of toilet paper due to the energy crisis. The company announced this in a press release published on Friday, August 26.

“In recent weeks, Metsä Tissue has been forced to reduce production for several days at its factories in Zilina (Slovakia) and Kreuzau (Germany) due to high electricity prices,” the report says.

March 2020:

Forest.fi (Archived): Five facts about toilet paper – no, we’ll not run out of it.

If ever anything is certain, it is that stockpiling toilet paper in Finland or in most other Western countries is pointless. There will not be a shortage of toilet paper.

Two mills in Finland make tissue paper: the Metsä Tissue mill in Mänttä and the Essity mill in Nokia. Both are producing toilet paper at full capacity. Maintenance shutdowns at many mills have also been postponed until later.

A story at Europe Says (Archived) simply states, "Finnish firm warns of toilet paper shortage as energy costs wipe out production." That firm is...you guessed it, Metsä Tissue who, as we can see from above, in the span of a little over two years said, "There will be no toilet paper shortage," to, "There's a toilet paper shortage."

Germany faces TP shortage.

ScoopTrade: Germany faces toilet paper shortage due to soaring gas prices.

RT: Germans warned of toilet paper shortage.

Alahed News: Germans Warned of Toilet Paper Shortage.

The crisis on the European gas market could lead to reduced production of toilet paper in Germany, according to Martin Krengel, chairman of the nation’s paper industry association, Die Papierindustrie.

“We are particularly dependent on gas for the production of tissue paper. Without it, we will no longer be able to provide security of supply,” Krengel said in a statement published on Thursday.

According to data provided by Die Papierindustrie, each German citizen uses an average of 134 rolls of toilet paper per year. “In the current energy crisis, our top priority is to provide people with this important commodity,” Krengel stressed.

Last month, the Bavarian Paper Association warned that operating paper plants may become unprofitable if they are forced to work at reduced capacity due to natural gas shortages.

Trudeau installing weapons armouries, interrogation rooms for Ministry of Climate Change.

Counter Signal - EXCLUSIVE LEAK: Trudeau installing weapons armouries, interrogation rooms for Ministry of Climate Change.

The Ministry of Environment & Climate Change Canada (ECCC) is building a new facility in Winnipeg that will be home to a firearms armoury, interrogation rooms, biological labs, media relations offices, “controlled quiet rooms,” and intelligence facilities.

The plans, which were drawn up by a firm in Winnipeg, open a window into Trudeau’s future plans for Climate Enforcement.

Down the hall from the proposed “Firearms Storage” rooms are several evidence rooms, interrogation suites, and adjacent recording rooms.

According to a recently posted Indeed.com ad, the Ministry is searching to recruit a battalion of Climate “Pollution” Officers, a unit within the coldly named “Environmental Enforcement Directorate.”

If you emit too much carbon or use too much fertilizer, you may just be on the Climate Communists’ hit list.

The entire facility that was leaked to The Counter Signal is sketched to be over 50,000 square feet, will house hundreds of ECCC staff, and will also be home to weather forecasting staff.

Hit the link, it's an incredible story.

Castro would be proud of his boy. Any visitors from Canada that want to drop a comment on this?

Desert News (Archived): Martin Weber of Cathedral City, CA is upset because the Midwest doesn't want to share the water in the Great Lakes.

Reader submissions
Published 5:00 a.m. PT July 22, 2022

To our supposed "fellow" Americans in Minnesota and other states bordering the Mississippi River who've sent letters to The Desert Sun: Your less-than-friendly replies to the idea of Mississippi water being sent by canal to meet up with the Colorado River is no surprise to us in the West.
 
You're right! We shouldn't make "our problem" your problem! (Then why the kvetching, Martin? - DD)

For that reason, I'm advocating for ocean desalination preferably via the Gulf of California. Pulling seawater that could be desalinated either in Mexico or California (or both) is much closer than transiting water from the Mississippi.

Despite the fact that our cities that were built, in your opinion, with no thought in mind, we are capable of putting together a plan to resolve our shortage. Why did we develop cities in the desert?  What part of better weather year-round here in the West (rather than plowing through snow, flooding, and tornados [sic] didn't occur to you? (Oh Nooez, snow, flooding, tornadoes which can happen anywhere. How are the quakes, semi-annual mudslides and the fires, Martin? - DD) Maybe you should look at the numbers of households moving south. (Martin, maybe you should look at the California exodus. - DD)

So please keep your muddy water. We'll figure this out via our own state governments. But just remember, what goes around comes around, should you need our assistance in the future. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for an answer. You might find our number unlisted. 

Signed, Martin Weber, Cathedral City

Oh, you want a gigantic water canal or pipeline across a majority of states from the Midwest to California for the water you so desperately need. 

Maybe those desalination plants should have been built decades ago but no, the envirotards blocked them because the life and existence of some esoteric, unique, indigenous species of fauna, plankton or tadpole outranked the need for Californians to have potable water. You made your desert, live in it because it's all about the "year-round better weather."

Gee, Mr. Weber, if only California was near a large body of water instead of the landlocked hellhole it is.

Some people like four seasons, Martin. Others apparently like to be thirsty and bitch and whine about it.

Oh, gee, the Midwest won't have California's assistance in the future. Why, that's a Blessing. When the fuck has the Midwest asked California help for anything. Anyone? 

We'll keep our muddy water! Thanks for conceding so early.

Stay thirsty Martin; stay thirsty! You can always recycle your urine and drink it. Email Bill Gates, Martin, he has the whole process figured out.
