How many lives are being lost due to the senseless obsession with net zero?
The Exposé ^ | 12/13/22 | Rhoda Wilson

Despite the climate narrative, almost everywhere cold temperatures are much more deadly than heat. Why is the cold more dangerous? Because it causes outer blood vessels to constrict to conserve core body heat, which drives up blood pressure, said Bjorn Lomborg. High blood pressure killed 10.8 million people in 2019 – 19% of total global deaths.

Dr. Bjorn Lomborg is a researcher and frequent commentator in print and broadcast media. He has also authored several books including ‘False Alarm: How Climate Change Panic Costs Us Trillions, Hurts the Poor, and Fails to Fix the Planet’. Last month he published an article in The Times which challenged a Lancet report stating that rapidly rising temperatures have increased annual global heat deaths among older people by 68% in less than two decades. This is a figure that has been cited all over by corporate media, from the BBC and Time to the Washington Post and the Times of India as well as espoused by United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres. “The [Lancet] report commits an amateur statistical fallacy by blaming the increase in heat deaths on ‘rapidly increasing temperature’,” Lomborg wrote.

Would it require a constitutional amendment to get rid of the lame-duck sessions?

True that. Historically global cooling during the cooling periods killed more people with low crop yields, less predictable rain patterns, and higher deaths by plague. People who lived through centuries long cooling periods longed for life during centuries long warming periods that their ancestors lived in.

We should enjoy the Modern Warm Period while we can (probably another 2 to 4 centuries IMHO).

I don’t see how that would work beings how this government seems to ignore the constitution at its convenience.

Excess deaths is the goal.

FACT is that, climate change policies, instead of helping the poorer countries, actually causes more world-wide poverty, as witnessed by the current conditions caused by the idiotic climate change agendas of the U.N. and many countries.

The climate change agenda causes otherwise well-off western economies to suffer lower-performing economies, and it’s those economies which lift the otherwise poorer economies. Can’t help to lift the poor countries out of poverty if you’re poor yourself.

The goal isn't net zero. The goal is net zero "surplus population"

“Would it require a constitutional amendment to get rid of the lame-duck sessions?”

Too late, but yes. It SHOULD be that Congress recesses before Election Day, the votes are counted until, say 3 AM on election night, and then the new Congress begins one week later.

Having a Constitution that’s 250 years old, without being updated, is biting us in this area.

The cost of "preventing" climate change is much larger than adapting to actual changes.
That's assuming we have any control at all.
It's all political.

Reminds me of the old “ZPG!” attempt of the early 1970s. ZPG=”Zero Population Growth”.

Lomborg is always worth listening to on environmental issues as he continually brings the receipts.

He is a lot like Tulsi for me. Very right on some issues and very wrong about other stuff but I am okay with that. He is honest and logical about the environmental scam.

That is a very sensible plan. It doesn’t take a month-long horse ride to get to DC any more.

That plan could have been enacted in 1870 right after the first transcontinental railroad was completed. Yet here we are, 152 years later, still operating under the old schedule. It makes no sense.

My brother used to use NetZero back in the late 90’s early oughts. He’d get throw off from time to time for posting the truth that offended people.
