Want To Stop Those Nasty Ole Green House Gases? Easy! Just Stop Breathing!

I wish that this was satire, but it isn't.  Apparently some study done by Dr Nicolas Cowan from some British scientific think tank discovered (?) that humans release trace amounts of methane and nitrous oxide when we exhale and/or emit flatulence.  He states, "we would urge caution in the assumption from humans are negligible."

Well, suppose he's correct.  Just what in hades do these people plan to do about it?  Just how much methane did Dr. Cowan emit when he put out his hypothesis? 

The fact is that some of these envirowhackos want to limit human population to "save the planet", and the Vatican, under Francis, is right on board with this murderous agenda.  They have been for quite some time and they are getting more and more brazen about it.

Nevada Police - Showing The World How To Rectify Nonsense

After some "climate activists" decided to conduct a road-blocking temper tantrum in the middle of a major highway in Nevada, they received their comeuppance quite unmistakably.  The rest of the country could benefit from their example.

New Ecological Sins Require A New Ecological Penance Service!

Actually, this "penance service" is rather old and comes to us, courtesy of Earth First (a rather destructive bunch).  It seems that their errors are being used as sanctimonious cloaks to mask "one-world-government" agendas of the progressives, from Soros right over to the pope.  So here it is, coming to a Church near you!

Trekking Through The Amazon Instrumentum

We continue our agonizing and penitential slog through the Instrumentum Laboris of the upcoming debacle known as the Amazon Sin-nod.  Last week I finished paragraph 13.  Paragraph 14 lays out a bunch of hypothetical threats to the peoples of the Amazon.  Read it and notice what is missing.  Where are the threats to the eternal salvation of those people (and the rest of humanity for that matter)?  The Church's primary mission is the eternal salvation of souls.  So where is the concern about faulty catechesis?  Where is the concern about false religions and idolatry?  Oh, wait!  According to paragraph 13, they are supposed to be "in relation to various spiritual forces"!  So this papal plop promotes sins against the First Commandment?  Moving along to paragraph 15, we see that it is considered a "threat" that the people might abandon ancient idolatries.  My goodness!  Was that the attitude of St Patrick when, at his preaching, the Irish ceased their druidic human sacrifices?

Please take a gander at this precious gem from paragraph 17:

"We are" what??!!?  No, we are created in the image and likeness of God, with intellect and will.  We are not just some hobgob of stuff from the material order.  As far as this "cut the veins of our Mother Earth, that's a new one.  The earth is not "our mother".  It is, at best, silly to personify a planet.  For the next several paragraphs one will read ad nauseum the most poetic bewailing of the supposed evils wrought by mankind against the environment.  In other words, it's the quintessential envirowhacko screed.

The themes change a bit at paragraph 28.  The Amazon is now in a "period of grace", you see!  It's because of this "Synod of the Amazon"!  There's going to be "a mutual dialog among all the people of God"!  Let us thank that same God that they didn't see fit to include "the various spiritual forces" in the dialog!

According to paragraph 30, this dialog "aligns with a journey that began with the (surprise!) the Second Vatican Council"!  Taa-daa!  As all progressives know, Church history just didn't exist before the Second Vatican Council!  Prior to that, it was all triumphalist rubbish!  All the saints, doctors of the Church, worldwide preaching of the Gospel, Our Lord's mission for the Church - fudget about it already!  Yes, I am being sarcastic, but I fear my interpretation of paragraph 30 is a tad too accurate for comfort.

I understand that last evening's Democrat candidates' debate was quite a farce.  So tell me - which is the most banal of the two?  This document or the debates?  Please opine in the com-boxes!

Pope Embracing Envirowhackoism For Deconstruction Of The Faith

The blog Non Veni Pacem put up some commentary regarding the murder of Natacha Jaitt in Argentina that occurred two weeks before she was to testify against Gustavo Vera, long-time friend of Cardinal Bergoglio, now Pope Francis.  Security cameras detected suspicious activity in the area just after Jaitt died.  The blogger pointed out that Vera and Jeffrey Sachs were speakers at a Vatican conference held March 4-5.  The conference focused on Laudato Si and Sachs shilled for the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.  Journalists were not invited to this pow-wow.  Well, golly-jee!  I wonder why???

Just a few days after that gab-fest, Pope Francis spoke at another - this with a specific goal of implementing the Sustainable Development Goals.  Now read closely what the pope is saying.  He's talking about conversion in implementing this thinly-disguised propaganda for population control and earth-worship.  One does not talk of "conversion" unless one is changing their beliefs and actions regarding God and morality.  He's advocating rank idolatry.  The blogger whom I cited in the main paragraph states that Raul Duarte has some "splainin" to do.  Well he's not the only one with "splainin" to do - I refer to the pope.  By the way, as you read the CNA piece, did you notice all the people who seem to be leaders of false religions?  If the pope wanted actual conversions, he passed up a golden opportunity for preaching the Faith (as is his mission); that's more "splainin" that he'll need to do.

In more toadying to envirowhacko population-control enthusiasts, the pope will participate in a "Pan Amazon Synod" in Brazil in October.  As Bradley Eli put it, "The Pan-Amazon Synod will be focusing on environmentalism and social justice issues rather than on strengthening the faith of Catholics, who are losing their religion."  Once upon a time, I thought that this lack of proper focus was merely thoughtless neglect.  I now believe that this loss of Godly faith is by design.  Take a look at that picture of the pope.  It is most inappropriate for the Vicar of Christ to festoon himself in pagan gee-gaw, and grin while holding a picture of himself surrounded by pagan imagery.

It's Earth Day! Have You Communed With Your Tree Twin Yet?

Honestly!  Who dreams up this crap??  It sounds like Mr. Amos Clifford, the "mastermind" behind this "forest bathing" movement, is laughing all the way to the bank as he takes gullible envirowhackos for a bath of another sort.

Mr. Clifford urges his suckers clients to find their "tree twins" and have conversations with them.  I wonder if the trees are considered to be on an intellectual par with their human twins.  Ironically enough, there might be a case for that hypothesis.  The phrase "dumb as rocks" comes to mind for some reason.

It is clear that many, having forsaken the One True God so that they can make idols of themselves and their own ideas and pleasures, are easy prey for charlatans such as Amos Clifford and the plethora of progressives who will use them for their own ends.  The worst thing is that they also endanger their immortal souls.  Pray for these people and be prepared to tell them the truth.

Climate Change BS - Literally!

Ladies and gentlemen, great progress has been made in our struggle against greenhouse gases as we combat these emissions for the survival of this planet.  A major source of the deadly substance has been identified.  "And what, pray tell, is this source?", you ask with bated breath.  According to England's Daily Mail, the dastardly culprits are..(trumpets and drums, please)

COWS!

Look - right off the bat the Daily Mail is being sexist!  Why do they blame the problem on the female of the species (if I may use that politically-charged term "female" anymore)?  Let's not let the bulls get off scott free here.  Call the culprits "cattle".

Here are some words of wisdom from the DM: "Cows have a huge flatulence problem that is damaging the planet."  Perhaps they haven't noticed, being so ensconced in urban areas, but cattle have been around for thousands of years.  In all that time, the planet has managed to survive their odoriferous scents.  I daresay that the planet will continue to thrive.

But that won't stop the progressive loons from tilting lances into windmills.  The Messiah Most Miserable is launching a "multi-pronged attack on cow flatulence".  In other words, this is more of our tax dollars at work.  Forget the lousy economy!  Forget that our inner cities are becoming balkanized jungles!  Forget about muslim terrorism!  The real crisis is cow flatulence!  When we say that Obama doesn't know apple butter from cow pie, we speak literally!   If he really is all that concerned about greenhouse gases, all he need do his curtail all the lavish vacations that he and his family appear to take on a monthly basis.

The Vatican can do the same.  Do others find it odd that the Vatican is hosting myriads of meetings on the "environment", causing so-called experts to fly in on jets?  How much carbon footprint is caused by all that jet-setting?

These folks can cut down on greenhouse gases simply by ceasing their endless prattle.  As an added bonus, noise pollution would also drop!  Sounds like a win-win scenario to me!

Cardinal Wuerl Swills Down Climate-Change Kool-Aid

The Catholic News Agency reports that a forum on economic growth and "environmental sustainability" took place in Rome two days ago, and Cardinal Wuerl was in attendance.  Isn't it interesting how this forum occurred just weeks after the Sachs/Moon debacle?  But I digress.

This gab-fest was sponsored by the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace.  If that name has a familiar ring to it, it's because that's the council to which Pope Francis named the flaming dissident Fr. Timothy Radcliffe as consulter.

While there seemed to be no overt mention of "population control" at this meeting as there was three weeks ago, the Cardinal did refer to "sustainable development" as a "sign of the times".  We do know that the concept of  "sustainable development" does segue into population control and governmental growth.

While the Cardinal did acknowledge the role of "business interests", we see other sorts of "business" coming onto the scene.  Also at that meeting were representatives of World Resources Institute and New Climate Economy.  Take a look at the page listing all of WRI's "experts and staff".  It goes on and on and on!  What kind of operating budget does this outfit have?  Can we see that whole industries are growing out of the "climate change" schtick?  It doesn't seem to be limited to Al Gore's "carbon offset" swindles.

I took a look at the list of donors for WRI, having a suspicion regarding the identity of one of them.  Sure enough!  There it is!  The Open Society Foundations - in other words, George Soros.  I knew his paw prints had to be all over this.  Joining him we also see the Rockefeller Brothers Fund - all enemies of Jesus Christ and His Church and shills for one-world government.

In light of all this dangerous tomfoolery in which our bishops and even the pope seem to be engaging, I'd suggest careful study of this post from One Peter Five.  Above all, pray and receive the Sacrament frequently.

Envirowhacko Elf Lobby Of Iceland

Yes, you read that headline correctly.  I too am having difficulty believing that people take this seriously.  In Iceland, a highway project was halted because the proposed highway because (wait for it!) elves living there might be disturbed.  When I first saw this on Facebook, I truly thought this was a spoof.  However, when I saw this in the Guardian and the Atlantic I realized this story was factual.

Of particular concern (?) to the group filing suit on behalf of the elves (are these elves paying nice retainers?), is a rock formation that the self-appointed elf guardians know to be an "elf church".  Howe do they know?  Why, they "sense the energy"!  Silly me, why didn't I think of that?

In Maryland, we finally saw the construction of the Intercounty Connector (MD Rte 200).  That too was held up for decades because of envirowhacko concerns.  To the best of my knowledge, zeal for elves never factored into the debate.  Because of all the new-agey schlock that oozes out of progressive pores everywhere, though, I wouldn't be a bit surprised to learn that elves were an unacknowledged motive for opposition to the ICC.

But we must consider another factor.  Iceland is close to the North Pole.  Maybe these elves are employed by Santa Clause!  After a busy season, these poor elves are in need of a little vacation.  Should a bunch of bulldozers disturb their "down time", perhaps these elves may be poorly disposed to make fun toys for us next Christmas!  Golly gee!  Maybe we should think twice about this???  (Yes, ladies and gentlemen.  You may regard this paragraph as sarcasm.)

I would say that is the comedy to cap off 2013 - if there weren't actually people who took it seriously.  That is a tad disconcerting.  Have a blessed New Year's anyway.

Flower Power! It's Baaaack!!

It certainly is in Boulder, Colorado!  It has, for some time, had a reputation as a tree-hugger haven.  But now the local government seeks to ensconce that reputation in law.  They want to "acknowledge the right of ..ecosystems and native species populations to exist and flourish".  If these "rights" are violated, that is considered ecocide!

Do unborn children have the right in Boulder to "exist and flourish"?  Oh, don't be silly!  They remain fodder for Planned Parenthood and all the rest of the real predators.

Such priorities!  One can decapitate and dismember tiny children (as long as they're in their mothers' wombs), but don't you dare think of removing the petals from a petunia or (eek!) cutting down a tree lest you be guilty of the high crime and misdemeanor called "ecocide"!

In Boulder CO, the insane have seized control of the asylum!

Time To Ban Di-Hydrogen Monoxide!

Somehow I think that if these folks were to circulate this petition amongst the OWS crowd, they'd get lots and lots of signatures!  Click here if you cannot see embedded video.

Announcing... THE EVENT!!!!! (trumpets and drums, please)

First, thanks to Acts of the Apostacy.

That is what it's called, thanks (?) to the "Climate Reality Project" (using the term "reality" loosely, of course).   The Event is also known as "24 Hours of Reality" - dedicated to broadcasting the propaganda reality of (what else?) climate change!  Apparently Al Gore is going to be presenting a multi-media message to all the world once every hour during this "24 hours".  

"And just how will this fertilizer fertile message spread?", you breathlessly ask.  Ah, that's where you and your naivte are supposed to step up to the plate!  Yes, you are being called upon - particularly if you have Facebook and/or Twitter accounts!  It is your solemn duty, as good little envirowhacko dupes, to donate access to your social network accounts during those 24 hours!   Hurry!  Hurry!  You must save the planet!  Sign up immediately!   Don't worry about access to your accounts afterwards when Mother Gaia Earth depends on you! 

Acts of the Apostacy believes that thousands have already swallowed the "environmentally-friendly" koolaid on this.  If he's right, that means that thousands lack an iota of common sense.  Well, Al Gore, you aren't getting my accounts!  And no, I will NOT buy any "carbon offsets" for my refusal to spread your crap!

New Dimension To The Phrase "Eat Sh#t"

Warning!  Please don't read this post if you're weak of stomach and have just eaten, or will soon have a meal!

I heard of a cockamany scheme to "convert" human feces into "edible" format.  In Japan, researcher Misuyki Ikeda was retained by Toyko Sewage to research possible ways to utilize sewage.  He thinks he did and seems to have conned a number of folks into believing it.  Because this seemed so far-fetched to me, I googled the words "Toyko Sewage Ikeda" and a quite a few links popped up.  I picked one from Manila Bulletin at random and the whole revolting theme is layed out.  They're trying to make the crap look like a typical steak.  Ikeda thinks his glop "will someday lead the culinary revolution".  In reality, it's more like "culinary revulsion".  Here's an article from Northern Virginia Magazine that links to a video of the manufacturing process.  I've seen another video that claims this whole thing is a hoax; while I'd like to believe this fellow and he does make some interesting points, I doubt his credibility.

I bet you can guess the motivational factors behind these poop burgers!  Yep!  They're supposedly "cruelty-free"!  Are you PETA types going to snarf these things up?  Bon appetit!

And of course, these things are touted as being "environmentally-friendly".  Slaughterhouses generate those big, evil "greenhouse gases"!  They help cause "global warming"!  One wonders about the processes to convert the feces to fake-steaks.  That has to make some carbon footprint, right?  After all, an exploder is used in the process.  I also understand that the steak-appearance is achieved by food coloring!  I thought food coloring was supposed to be carcinogenic; or is that an obsolete canard jettisoned for the latest politically-correct fad?

If this catches on, just think of the ensuing name changes.  The Outback Steak House might reduce their name to the Outhouse.  And McDonald's might change their "Happy Meal" to "Crappy Meal"!

When the 2012 Lenten Carbon Fast rolls around, let's examine that calendar very closely.  They may be advocating several new kinds of s@#t!  On this point I'm halfway serious.  If they're addle-brained enough to suggest usage of those mercury bulbs, they will be ditzy enough to suggest that we eat human dung to "save the planet".

If Your Lenten Observance Was Lacking, There's Hope!

Thanks to my colleague at Acts of the Apostacy (right side bar), you can engage in some much-needed mortification.  See if you can make it through this "sensitive, metro-sexual" drip without either:

1. Losing your temper and uttering all kinds of unprintable language, or
2. Laughing until tears are streaming down your face.

I failed!  I gave into the second one.  Sheesh!  I couldn't dream up this kind of crap to save my life!  Talk about rolling up new age, socialism, envirowhackoism, androgeny and goddess worship into one gloppy mess and delivering it with syrupy violin music!

Parents!  Don't let your sons grow up to be like these wusses!  And for heaven's sake - don't let your daughters look up to these pseudo-sensitive wimps!

And now, let the post-lenten mortification begin!  Click here if you can't see embedded video.
