How to stop anthropogenic climate change


There is growing consensus that human activity is causing climate change.  I remain skeptical, but having said that, it cannot be denied that human activity does impact the environment and the more humans the greater the impact.  Regardless of where people stand regarding the environment,  surely at some point everyone must agree that turning the world into a Walmart store or a parking lot for a Walmart store has to stop somewhere.

So what do we do about it?  We could stop making babies. This is already happening as people realize that a kid costs as much as a Ferrari, and  a growing percentage of the population would rather have a Ferrari than a kid.  That is all well and good, but the population boffins are predicting that the effects of the coming unbaby boom will not be seen until 2050.  I am leaning to adopting a more proactive approach, therefore, as a public service, I am making a list of all the people we don't need anymore. Such as;
  1. People who do long and complicated lottery and scratch and win transactions at the convenience store when there are like, ten people waiting in line.
  2. Drivers who maintain the exact speed limit in the fast lane.
  3. Milquetoasts who believe that a Harley Davidson™ motorcycle with loud exhausts automatically makes them a tough guy.
  4. Golfers
  5. People who make reality TV shows
  6. Reality TV show contestants
  7. People who enjoy watching reality TV shows.
As for creative solutions for 'right sizing' the population, I propose
  1. A new international lottery, everyone wins! Prizes must be collected in person, free transportation will be provided to lottery headquarters located in either McMurdo Sound, or perhaps Mare Serenitatis.
  2. All licensed vehicles required to be fitted with working RPGs.
  3. All 'loud pipes saves lives' types be required to display either a Hells Angel™ patch, or if they prefer, an equally prominent patch that says "Hells Angels are Pussies!"
  4. Golf courses will be required to have quicksand traps, bear traps, waterspout/whirlpool/tsunami hazards in addition to the traditional hazards.
  5. The reality TV thing could be dealt with by removing all ethical and legal restrictions or constraints on  reality show genres, and then requiring all creators and watchers to be contestants as well.

Canadian police need more diversity

Image
As the great Canadian Border and Capital Cities blockades wind their way down, we might ask where were the police?  This was far from the first Canada's first blockade rodeo. When the Indians (as in First Nations), environmentalists, G20 summit protesters, strikers, unemployed workers etc., take to the streets the police can be counted on to show up in full riot gear ever ready to restore order.  Maybe they learned from past mistakes, or maybe cops are reluctant to bust the heads of their drinking buddies.   Most Canadian cops are smart enough to keep their opinions off social media, but there are a few who have not gotten the memo yet .  Which is yet another reason that our police forces need greater diversity.  With a better selection of pissed off oppressed minorities the cops would be able to respond to any flavor protest with equal enthusiasm.

Canada Conquers Climate Change

Image
  The United Nations has declared July 2023 the hottest month in recorded history. “Climate change is here. It is terrifying. And it is just the beginning,” said UN chief  Secretary-General António Guterres.  Fortunately, it appears that Canada has found a way to defeat global warming. According to Canada's Department of Environment and Natural Resources Weather Information Services, Ontario Capital City, Toronto's July 2023 monthly average temperature of 27.1 was actually 1.2 degrees Celsius cooler than  July 2022 .  Alberta's Capital, Edmonton, was 1 degree C cooler, 23.6 in 2023 vs 24.6 in 2022 . Ottawa, the national capital, was fully 3 degrees C cooler than July  2020 , in fact, Ottawa's July 2023 27.4  C monthly average  was  identical to  July 1892's monthly average, convincing proof that Canada has found the solution to halting global warming. Canada's achievement in combating climate change can be attributed to the ...

Political Science

  "Politics is the set of activities that are associated with making decisions in groups, or other forms of power relations among individuals..." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politics).   "Science is a rigorous, systematic endeavor that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about everything." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science). Political truths only need agreement or compliance. There is no requirement for political truths to make sense.  Trofim Lysenko was a Soviet  agronomist who was appointed the head of  the Soviet Academy of Agricultural Sciences by Joseph Stalin.  Lysenko stated that  genetics and agricultural science was "bourgeois and  fascist   " .  Lysenko rejected Mendelian genetics, substituting his own crackpot ideas.  As many as 3,000 soviet scientists who challenged his ideas were silenced, fired, imprisoned or even executed.  Lysenko studied as an agronom...
