An Unusual Trifecta

The NY Times laments the lack of attention paid to climate change during the current Presidential "campaign". In a pathetic bid for clicks they troll us with this:

“When nobody talks about the issue, the clear signal is that this isn’t very important,” Dr. Leiserowitz said. “Ultimately, it comes down to one of the most precious resources on the planet, human attention.”

He also said that when public figures such as President Obama, Pope Francis and Leonardo DiCaprio talked about climate change, it could influence how much the public says they care about climate change...

Uhh, one of those things is not like the others (and no, the eye-catching divergence is not on skin tone, except for racially-obsessed progressive bean-counters).

But, and you can only imagine my surprise, those names weren't picked form a hat - Leo has a documentary coming out which includes, some big names:

Friends in high places: Trailer for jet-setting Leo's new environmental documentary 'Before The Flood' stars Obama, Pope Francis and of course DiCaprio himself

So droll of them to note that climate change is not quite enough of a crisis for Leo to forego the private jets. And I am old enough to remember talk of "limousine liberals".

ERRATA: I will never find a link to verify this but burned in my memory is an old Normal Lear ("All In The Family" anecdote. His car pulled up in front of some pollution/climate conference or other and he hopped out of his very fancy BMW. Asked whether he understood the contrast between his message and his mode of transportation, his reply was something like "I get it, its a polluting gas-guzzler and we can't go on like this - but have you felt the ride?"

Whatever. Maybe Hillary should tell Leo to get a life.

COMPLETING THE LIST: Back in a famous 1998 article describing young Leo's night-clubbing antics with, well, the Pussy Posse, we complete the circle:

When he goes to a club, people start screaming and jumping over the security guards and elbowing and pushing to get near him."

And that's not just the civilians. "The models are all over him," says Jeffrey Jah, director of the club Life. "He's got rock stars, Puff Daddy, Donald Trump, going over to his table to sit with him. Leo just comes in to hang out with his friends."

Oy.

Loserowitz. Yup. Nobody talks much about a flat earth these days either. Wonder why that is?

henry,

Did you ever see the cartoon "Two Stupid Dogs?"

The dogs always misunderstand cause and effect, which is the running joke.

Phlogiston is like that, as are a lot of the "scientific" theories we have to hear blabbed about all the time.

[clarice b. for Brainiac]

Don't knock phlogiston. I love it.

[Buckeye]

The majority of the world's population can't afford the luxury of an "environmental" conscience.

They are too busy avoiding starvation.

[Captain Hate]

Do any of those tools understand the scientific method or is that no longer being taught in the "elite" schools like Pitzer?

Isn’t Phlogiston just south of Kyrgyzstan?

Indeed.

On a smaller scale, in the video of the black Trump supporter that I posted the other day, he pointed out that Michelle Obama's lunch program sent a lot of kids home hungry to homes where they had no food.

I'd like to see an in-state survey of his approval rating since his quixotic campaign began. I started out mildly disliking him and now never want to hear about him.

Never said anything of the kind Marty Watters.
You seriously need help son. You are a sick boy.

[The human carbon cornucopia.]

As the predicted climate catastrophes fail to arrive, people are gradually coming to understand that the mild warming that man can do is net beneficial, and the great greening near miraculous.

The fears were unnecessary, the guilt inappropriate; the virgins sacrificed to the volcano a horrible waste.

[Green irony.]

Both Watts Up and the Bish's (bishophill.squarespace.com) have recent posting on this issue.

Thank goodness India and China got industry, or we might be in an Ice Age!!

At least, when I took geomorphology and climate in the 1970's, that was the big panic.

Art,

More than that. There weren't enough calories.

When that whole thing started my grandson was in high school. He had to buy 2 lunches because the portions were so small. Granddaughters ended up taking their lunches because of unpalatable veggies and no salt or seasoning.

I used to eat lunch at the school cafeteria on grandparents' day. It was awful.

[GUS]

no Marty Watters I did not, everyone here knows that. You're sick son, I'm pretty sure you know it. Bye Marty Watters. You lost your wife and still you didn't get help. You're not going to stop here, because you can't. Bye Marty Watters.
You know, when you play your games, NO ONE takes ANYTHING you say seriously. You're desperate and you're mentally ill Marty Watters. And you know that. You'll continue to post your weird shit, and you'll continue to stalk others. We know who you are, and I've even spoken to your ex-wife about you.

[derwill, yet another adorable, irredeemable deplorable]

Well, well . . . about that NBC/WSJ poll that shows Clinton ahead by 11 points:

The poll was conducted by a firm called Hart Research Asso/Public Opinion Strategies. The head of the firm is a guy by the name of Geroff Gorine. Geoffy boy also has another source of income. He is a "strategic advisor" for Priorities USA, a big Hillary super PAC.

In September alone Priorities USA paid Hart Research Asso $220,500.

After 2012, I was dubious about the polls being deliberately rigged, but this looks very rigged to me.

'Tis all a Chequer board of Nights and Days
Where destiny wit Men for Pieces plays;

It's E. F.'s Rubaiyat.

Absent the wave of outrage, which I think is hidden like a tsunami still at sea, I suspect this election will come down to lawsuits over election fraud in several battleground states, with the spiteful, inept, lame-duck Obama poised to upset the board in his peculiarly destructive way.

Interesting times, yup.

Good Morning, and HAPPY ALASKA DAY!!!

On this day in 1867, the U.S. formally takes possession of Alaska after purchasing the territory from Russia for $7.2 million, or less than two cents an acre.

Alaska Day is an official state holiday so state government offices, the Alaska court system, state library, schools (closed for students), and many businesses are closed. Employees are entitled to take a day off during this holiday.

Feel free to take the day off. It's on me!

[daddy]

Rush Limbaugh in Hour 1 reads from Powerline's John Hinderer"s column from yesterday: HILLARY’S HENCHMEN PRESSURED FBI ON CLASSIFICATION OF DOCUMENTS which makes many good points, but this one in particular strikes me:

Today the FBI released another 100 pages relating to its investigation of Hillary Clinton’s conduct as Secretary of State. Why it has taken so long for the agency to review, redact and publish a very small quantity of documents is inexplicable.

All the rest is horrible as well, but again, back to my parody on Comey (Around the Congress in 77 days), How the hell can it take 100 days for the FBI to release 100 pages of documents that all they have to do is redact. The average American could have released them to the Public in 5 minutes. The lousiest, laziest bureaucrat in DC could have released them in a week at most. Yet Comey takes 100 days?

Comey ought to be impeached simply for that. That delay, all by itself, ought to be enough to get him booted out of "Public Dis-Service" for the rest of his life.

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

Captain Hate,

I don't think we can have an Article V until we somehow capture a good portion of the press.

Otherwise, it will be just like when we thought they would stop Obamacare.
