fedup Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 These idiots are out of control. ECONOMY Published October 11, 2022 4:38am EDT New Zealand government proposes taxing cow burps, pee to tackle climate change New Zealand has approximately 10 million beef and dairy cattle and 26 million sheep Facebook Twitter Comments Print Email By Landon Mion FOXBusiness 'Fighting climate change’ a ‘stupid expression’: Greenpeace co-founder Greenpeace co-founder Patrick Moore discusses the ongoing politicization of climate change along with Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard’s decision to give away ownership of his $3 billion company to combat climate change. New Zealand announced Tuesday a proposal to tax greenhouse gases farm animals produce, including burping and peeing, as part of its efforts to address climate change. According to the country's government, the proposed tax on farms would be the first in the world. It also said farmers should be able to regain the cost by upping the prices of climate-friendly products. The move drew the ire of New Zealand farmers, with Federated Farmers, the industry's main lobby group, saying the plan would "rip the guts out of small-town New Zealand" and result in trees replacing farms. Federated Farmers President Andrew Hoggard said farmers had been attempting to work with the government for more than two years on a plan to reduce emissions reduction without decreasing food production. CALIFORNIA'S DROUGHT WITHERS TOMATOES, PUSHING GROCERY PRICES HIGHER New Zealand announced Tuesday a proposal to tax greenhouse gases farm animals produce, including burping and peeing, as part of its efforts to address climate change. (iStock / iStock) "Our plan was to keep farmers farming," Hoggard said, adding that farmers would instead be selling their farms "so fast you won’t even hear the dogs barking on the back of the ute (pickup truck) as they drive off." Opposition lawmakers from the conservative ACT Party said the proposal would increase emissions around the world by moving farming to other countries less efficient at producing food. New Zealand’s farming industry is crucial to the country's economy, with dairy products being the nation’s largest export earner. The country has approximately 10 million beef and dairy cattle and 26 million sheep, compared to just five million people. About half of New Zealand's greenhouse gas emissions come from farms. And the reasoning behind the proposal potentially helping with climate change is based on the idea that farm animals produce gasses that warm the planet, particularly methane from cattle burps and nitrous oxide from their urine. New Zealand's government has vowed to cut greenhouse gas emissions and make the country carbon-neutral by 2050. As part of that plan, the country said it will reduce methane emissions from farm animals by 10% by 2030 and by up to 47% by 2050.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said the money collected from the proposed tax would go toward the farming industry to fund new technology, research and incentive payments for farmers. "New Zealand's farmers are set to be the first in the world to reduce agricultural emissions, positioning our biggest export market for the competitive advantage that brings in a world increasingly discerning about the provenance of their food," Ardern said. Agriculture Minister Damien O'Connor said the proposal presents an exciting opportunity for the country and its farmers.

"Taking the lead on agricultural emissions is both good for the environment and our economy." The liberal Labour government's plan mirrors a similar failed proposal made by a previous Labour government in 2003 to tax farm animals for their methane emissions. At the time, farmers had slammed the idea, and political opposition criticized it as a "fart tax." Most of the methane emissions, however, come from burping, not farting. The New Zealand government eventually abandoned the proposal.

fedup Posted October 11, 2022 Author Share Posted October 11, 2022 MIDWEST Weight, dawn-to-dusk demands pose challenges to electrifying farm vehicles Agricultural equipment manufacturers are developing electric and autonomous machines to replace today’s diesel tractors and combines, but problems must be solved before widespread adoption. data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyBoZWlnaHQ9IjgwIiB3aWR0aD0iODAiIHhtbG5zPSJodHRwOi8vd3d3LnczLm9yZy8yMDAwL3N2ZyIgdmVyc2lvbj0iMS4xIi8+by Kathiann M.

Credit: TumblingRun / Creative Commons The seeds are sown for the electrification of farming vehicles, but as major manufacturers begin to develop electric prototypes, they face major logistical challenges to replacing diesel-burning machines in the field. “The critical piece of the pie for greater adoption of electric vehicles in farm settings is charging infrastructure, followed closely by durability and reliability issues,” said Scott Miller, associate dean for industry partnerships at Ohio University’s Russ College of Engineering and Technology. “Farmers will not abide things that they cannot fix quickly, cheaply and easily.” Modern agriculture depends on a fleet of heavy-duty vehicles and machinery, from pickup trucks and small utility vehicles to massive tractors and combines that can weigh from a few tons up to as much as 15 tons, plus attachments. All that weight, along with dawn-to-dusk workdays and multiple worksites, adds to the challenges of electrification. “Today the reason why most agricultural machinery is [run by] diesel is because of the high power-to-weight ratios when we look at energy storage in the form of diesel fuel,” said Scott Shearer, chair of the Department of Food, Agricultural and Biological Engineering at Ohio State University. Large equipment “can work all day without having to refill.” Although diesel power is dominant now, the market for electric vehicles in the construction, agriculture and mining industries could grow to $100 billion annually, according to analysts Peter Harrop and Michael Dent at IDTechEx, headquartered in England. It’s still unclear precisely what mix of incentives, regulations and market forces might drive the transition to electric farm equipment, but countries will need to address the sector in order to achieve emissions reductions on a large enough scale to avert worst-case climate change scenarios this century. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s latest report, released on Aug. 9, underscores the need for immediate steps to cut greenhouse gas emissions. Agriculture accounted for about 5% of U.S. industrial energy consumption last year, according to the Energy Information Administration. Technological innovation could also spur demand for electric vehicles on the farm. Small electric tractors could be particularly helpful for family farms in developing regions that still use non-mechanized methods for agriculture, according to an August 2021 report in the Journal of Energy Storage. Larger companies that make farm vehicles generally sell to global markets. So developments in other regions will likely affect the range of product offerings worldwide. Additionally, farmers in Ohio and elsewhere could be drawn to the idea of replacing diesel with on-site renewable power, particularly those who have already leased part of their land for solar or wind energy in order to boost income. As the costs of renewable energy and battery storage come down, electric vehicles could eventually lower energy costs for farms. On the drawing board and in the field Mindful of the clean energy transition, multiple companies already have been working on electric-powered prototypes. John Deere’s concept model tractors would allow autonomous operation, which increases efficiency and precision. Cable power could even eliminate the need for onboard batteries, so that an electric version need not weigh more than its fossil-fueled counterpart. A John Deere spokesperson declined to be interviewed for this article. Japan-based Kubota also introduced concept models in January 2020. Like the Deere models, they would allow autonomous operation. And triangular track arrangements could minimize weight and adjust for height in the field. The company’s concept tractor also featured an onboard solar battery. California-based Solectrac already has been offering small 30- and 40-horsepower-equivalent tractors and farm utility vehicles. Other options for relatively small tractors come from Fendt, Rigitrac, Escorts and others. Meanwhile, almost all airborne drones are electric. Solar power could benefit a range of agricultural machinery beyond charging tractors, according to an April 2021 report in the Journal of Cleaner Production. “We’re beginning to see some agricultural sprayers that are actually operated with photovoltaics,” Shearer said. An autonomous weed-control robot from Swiss-based Your browser does not support the HTML5 video tag. ecoRobotix aims to use 95% less herbicides, for example. Research also is focusing on small electric ground-based autonomous vehicles for sensing the plant environment. But field navigation could still be tricky, Shearer said. Challenges include working through plant rows, such as picket-fence formations used in cornfields, and dealing with plant canopies. Challenges ahead But it’s a big step to go from prototypes and limited applications to widespread adoption. “Farm equipment may only get used a few weeks a year,” and those periods of use often run “up to 15 hours a day for many days on end,” Ohio University’s Miller said. “It does a farm producer no good if the battery runs out in the middle of a 1,000-acre field.” If batteries provide only about 15% of the energy that a full tank of diesel does, “you’re still going to have to stop six or seven times a day,” to swap out batteries, Ohio State’s Shearer said. With spring planting time at a premium, the opportunity cost for those stops’ lost productive time could run into thousands of dollars. Adding bigger batteries isn’t the answer, either. The additional weight can compact soil more than existing equipment does. The result could be less room for young plants’ roots to grow, said Dale Arnold, director of energy, utility and local government policy for the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation. Compacted soil also can interfere with no-till methods that many farmers have been using, Arnold added. No-till farming leaves more organic material and nutrients in the soil. The practice also lets more water infiltrate the soil, resulting in less runoff and nutrient pollution. The key is trying “to find that balance” that lets machinery do work efficiently, without adding more steps or hurting farm yields, Arnold said. Also, many farmers’ fields aren’t contiguous. “There are times where a large piece of equipment — a large tractor or a combine or a large cultivator — might leave home base and might not return for several days or a couple of weeks, based on the complications and the activities there,” Arnold said. Arnold’s own family still farms the Brown Township property in central Ohio that belonged to his grandfather. The family also acquired farms in Harrison Township and Union Township, he said. Typically, farm equipment would work on one farm property. Then it would travel to the next property and the next, before returning to home base days or weeks later. The cycle would repeat for the next necessary tasks. “You’re always in that rotational schedule,” Arnold said. “Many farm families, that’s what they do.” So, even if large electric farm equipment could run for a full day on a battery charge, it wouldn’t necessarily return to home base at night. That situation would add to the costs and challenges of charging infrastructure. And more stations would be needed in any case, Arnold said, because lighter-weight pickups or other off-road utility vehicles also would need charging. “The one key issue is going to be breakthroughs in battery technology,” Shearer said. In his view, even an increase in battery power to half the energy delivered by the equivalent weight of diesel fuel could be “a game-changer.” In the meantime, registrations for Ford’s first all-electric pickup truck opened in May with the introduction of the F-150 Lightning. Lordstown Motors’ planned electric pickup truck also could be a big winner, Arnold said, if the company manages to overcome financial problems. On Aug. 11, the company announced plans to begin limited production in September. “We feel that’s going to be a very competitive market,” Arnold said, noting that almost every farmer has a pickup truck, as well as smaller utility vehicles. Wi-Fi connectivity is an additional challenge. Autonomous navigation and controls, on-board diagnostics, and other equipment devices will “depend on good high-speed communications with base stations or the internet,” Miller at Ohio University said. Manufacturers also will likely move toward more cloud-managed solutions and software-as-a-service business models, he added. “As we know, rural broadband is a huge limiting factor for rural communities,” Miller said, “so these sorts of models will take time to implement and may require creative partnerships with major tech companies to overcome these connectivity hurdles.” The Reimagine Appalachia coalition also has been calling for major upgrades to rural areas’ broadband and electric infrastructure as part of a plan for transitioning away from dependence on coal and natural gas. The group is pushing for funds to come from federal infrastructure grants. In the meantime, niche areas for smaller vehicles and equipment could expand more quickly. And manufacturers of larger equipment will refine and test prototypes to make sure they can perform as well in the field as they might on the drawing board. A specific time frame for widespread adoption of electric vehicles on farms remains undefined. Climate advocates generally want emission cuts to come sooner, rather than later. And if the world indeed shifts to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions within the next few decades, equipment manufacturers will want to continue to meet farmers’ needs. Ultimately, “farmers are interested in tools that will help them increase yields and productivity,” Miller said. “The upside, hopeful note is that these tools have the potential to transform the method and manner in which agricultural producers manage their lands and crops by increasing efficiency and using their limited resources as wisely as possible.” Questions or comments about this article?

You can bet they will go up. We all will be paying for the impossible dream of no carbon in 2050. Just think about that, we are supposed to pay the bill for something that is supposed to happen 28 years from now. Should we all start paying someone money we don't have for a electric car 28 years from now. Most likely they will only come in the color green with a decal on the hood of AOC and Ozone Al holding Biden upright. Just how gullible can a huge group of people be??????? It's sickening and depressing. The voted for government can't even tell you what tomorrow will bring and here with have a herd of very stupid people believing their voted for idiots knows what will happen 28 years from now. The world is lucky that I am 68 years old. If I was a younger man, i'd be loading up the guns to cull the herd and stop the stupid gene pool.

fedup Posted October 14, 2022 Author Share Posted October 14, 2022 About 20,000 years ago, the climate warmed and the ice sheet retreated. Water from the melting glacier filled the basins , forming the Great Lakes. Approximately 3,000 years ago, the Great Lakes reached their present shapes and sizes.Feb 1, 2019 Humans settled in the Americas much earlier than previously thought, according to new finds from Mexico. They suggest people were living there 33,000 years ago, twice the widely accepted age for the earliest settlement of the Americas. The results are based on work at Chiquihuite Cave, a high-altitude rock shelter in central Mexico. Archaeologists found nearly 2,000 stone tools, suggesting the cave was used by people for at least 20,000 years. Ice age During the second half of the 20th Century, a consensus emerged among North American archaeologists that the Clovis people had been the first to reach the Americas, about 11,500 years ago. The ancestors of the Clovis were thought to have crossed a land bridge linking Siberia to Alaska during the last ice age. When did humans first settle North America? According to the most common evolutionary view, this supposedly happened 16,000 years ago. But a new find of a mammoth tusk and bashed-in skull at an ancient butchering site in New Mexico is challenging this view and pushing the date back to 37,000 years. Of course, in a biblical worldview we know that both of these dates are not correct—so when did Native Americans first arrive? Let’s consider how biblical history can provide some boundaries for when this might have happened. God created everything in six days, finishing with the creation of the first couple. All humans are descended from this pair. The genealogies in Genesis tell us two thousand years passed between Adam and Abraham and we know there were about two thousand years from Abraham to Christ, and, of course, two thousand more years gets us to the present. That’s about 6,000 years for all of mankind’s history (so even the conservative date of 16,000 years is way off!). In other words, no one was in the Americas prior to about 4,200 years ago. At that time, the peoples were dispersed and began travelling and eventually settling all around the globe. Genesis chapter 6 records the wickedness of man and God’s judgment with a global flood. This reduced the entire human population to just eight people aboard the Ark. These eight were told to spread out and fill the earth, but their descendants wanted to stay together and build a tower. In judgment for their rebellion, God confused their language, splitting them up around the world. This means that no one could have reached modern-day North America until after the tower of Babel event. In other words, no one was in the Americas prior to about 4,200 years ago. At that time, the peoples were dispersed and began travelling and eventually settling all around the globe. Here are the numbers from the religious people along with the so called experts. Don't forget, your government paid experts are claiming that mankind WAS and IS destroying the planet with Manmade Global Warming/Climate change or what ever they decide to call it these days. So your voted for government is TELLING you that you HAVE TO spend your hard earned money today, to pay for what they say they can do by 2050. Why would anyone contribute to this massive government lie???? Now that the Liberals are killing this country on their own, just how much spare money do you have to give them to stop the end of the earth????

fedup Posted November 8, 2022 Author Share Posted November 8, 2022 Woke Pentagon: ‘Climate literacy’ poll distributed to service members, civilian defense workers DOD says poll will ensure US keeps its 'warfighting edge' By Peter Kasperowicz | Fox News Facebook Twitter Flipboard Comments Print Email Pompeo blasts Pentagon's focus on 'green energy and racism' Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo responds on "Jesse Watters Primetime" to President Biden's diversity officer's comments. The Department of Defense (DOD) is asking thousands of active-duty service members and civilian DOD workers if they have enough information on climate change to do their jobs effectively and requesting to know where they get their climate news. The Pentagon asked these and other questions as part of its "2022 Climate Literacy Pulse Check," according to a copy of the questionnaire reviewed by Fox News Digital. The questions went out to thousands of recipients, and DOD described it as a short, voluntary poll that would be used to make sure the department is able to protect U.S. national security in light of changing climate conditions. BIDEN'S PENTAGON STUFFING STACEY ABRAMS' CONSPIRACY THEORIES AND ‘ANTI-HISTORICAL’ HISTORY INTO K-12 SCHOOLS The Pentagon, led by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, is asking service members what they know about climate change. (AP Photo/Susan Walsh) "As we train and educate our service members to fight and prevail against our adversaries, so too must we ensure our service members have the knowledge to ensure mission success in the face of a changing climate," Cmdr. Nicole Schwegman, a Pentagon spokesperson, told Fox News Digital in statement. The Pentagon declined to say how many service members received the questionnaire. "To ensure the United States armed forces retain their warfighting edge and remain the world’s most lethal and capable fighting force, the Department of Defense worked with the Office of Management and Budget to craft a short, fully anonymous, at-will questionnaire – not a survey – to assess the degree to which the DOD workforce feels it is capable of executing its mission in the context of a changing climate," she added. But Rep. Mike Rogers of Alabama, the top Republican on the House Armed Services Committee, disagreed and said DOD's poll is a distraction from the core mission of the U.S. Armed Forces. "The Department of Defense should not be wasting our service members’ time with surveys on climate change," he said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "The military should not be distracted from its mission of maintaining the most lethal and capable force in the world." BIDEN'S PENTAGON TEACHING ‘RACIST’ MATERIALS TO MILITARY KIDS IN WOKE ‘SOCIAL ENGINEERING’ AGENDA: GOP REPS The Pentagon says climate knowledge will help the U.S. maintain its "warfighting edge" against adversaries. (iStock) Questions asked by the poll are mostly aimed at understanding how climate change is affecting respondents’ work and how respondents learn about climate change. The questionnaire asked whether respondents think climate change will affect their work or their organization’s mission and whether they are "integrating climate change considerations into your regular responsibilities." It then asked several detailed questions about the source of their climate change information. It asked if they have the "right amount of knowledge/information on climate change" needed to perform their jobs, and it then asked where they go to learn more. DEMOCRATS VS. THE MILITARY: WOKENESS WON'T WIN WARS AND KEEP AMERICA SAFE President Biden's administration has prioritized issues such as climate change, equity and inclusion. (AP Photo/Damian Dovarganes) One possible answer to that last question is the internet, and if that answer is selected, it asks the respondent to list specific websites. Other options include research reports from think tanks and other educational materials. Another question asks respondents what other information on "climate security" would be helpful as they do their work. A range of responses is suggested, including basic climate information, the effect of climate change on missions, military infrastructure and public health, energy efficiency and "changes in contracting requirements to account for greenhouse gases." CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP The questionnaire ended by asking about respondents’ level of education and what kind of training they may have received, including seminars, briefings and "work experience in planning and design for climate change." "All data will be reported in the aggregate, and will be used to inform DOD education and training efforts," it said. Pete Kasperowicz is a politics editor at Fox News Digital.

DIGITAL ORIGINALS Published November 14, 2022 2:00am EST Gen Z climate activist: Throwing paint, stopping traffic is privileged protest and unhelpful Destroying famous artwork isn't effective climate protest, conservationist says By Jon Michael Raasch | Fox News Facebook Twitter Flipboard Comments Print Email Gen Z climate activist: Throwing paint, stopping traffic is privileged protest and unhelpful Young eco-activists having defaced paintings and poured onto freeways for environmental justice are not tangibly improving the climate, conservationist says. Defacing artwork, shutting down freeways, and pouring milk on the floor is simply privileged protest and doesn't actually inspire people to take action against climate change, a conservationist told Fox News. "Activists are trying to deface property and artwork specifically because it is shocking," Danielle Butcher, executive vice president of the American Conservation Coalition, a conservative environmental nonprofit, told Fox News. "The tactics, they're focused on sparking conversation, whatever that means, but they're not actually helping the environment tangibly." "I saw the video of them throwing soup on a van Gogh, and I immediately cringed," Butcher continued. "It hurt to see, and I think that's what they are going for." WATCH THE FULL INTERVIEW ABOUT CLIMATE ACTIVISTS' TACTICS: Video WATCH MORE FOX NEWS DIGITAL ORIGINALS HERE Climate protesters this year have targeted Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet and Leonardo da Vinci paintings. Two climate protestors tossed tomato soup on a van Gogh painting, two others plastered potato on a Monet piece and another threw cake at the Mona Lisa. Protesters have also poured onto freeways to stop traffic in the name of cutting fossil fuel use and poured out milk onto the floors of stores to fight for environmental justice.

(Just Stop Oil via AP) RADICAL CLIMATE ACTIVISTS TARGET PRICELESS ART BUT EXPERTS WARN VANDALS ONLY HURTING THEIR CAUSE "I am begging them to stop using these tactics," Butcher said. "You cannot annoy people into agreeing with you." "And certainly throwing mashed potatoes or glue or soup or dumping milk on a grocery store floor, those are not ways that you convince people you are in the right position," she continued.

Climate protestors interrupted President Biden Friday while he was speaking at the 27th annual U.N. Climate Conference about "transformational changes" the United States is undertaking in the fight against climate change.

Petee Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Why aren't these protestors tossed into jail and taught better way of changing the world. When they do damaging stuff like this, it's like tormenting a tortoise! It just draws into its shell, waits for the immediate danger to go away, and then continues on its way. Now a smarter protestor will search out ways to change the problem but it takes preparation, education, communication skills and a long-term plan. They act like babies tossing food onto the floor that they don't want to eat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petee Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 The country is still a blessing to those who listen to God about how they do things. You can't serve two masters period. That's what the educational system has been trying to instill into children for decades now. They don't know how to work with kids who have morals and personal guidelines so they just try to cookie cutter the little ones into human guidelines. It NEVER works because there is no middle ground between God and Satan. You are on one side or the other. Our country isn't the problem, we citizens are! No one wants to be the lone guy out there fighting for the right. Therefore, if no one fights for the right, then everyone loses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
