In the UK, several “Just Stop Oil” protesters have received 4 to 5 year prison sentences. The folks at Podcast of the Lotus Eaters outline what happened.

Every one of these protesters appears to come from wealthy, very entitled lives:

It’s not hard to poke fun at today’s cohort of climate activists. The sheer number of double-barrelled names makes writing jokes feel too easy. But what isn’t so funny is watching the whining from these posh protesters when faced with the consequences of their actions.

I am die-hard when it comes to the freedom to protest. I’d like to see the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act repealed and the talk of buffer zones around political offices squashed. It’s outrageous that citizens now have to prove to police officers that they’re being the right level of “noisy” to freely challenge our political leaders.

A crisis situation is unfolding in the California desert. Thousands of people headed to Las Vegas have been stuck on the I-40 for many hours, running out of gas and water. This is all due to the lithium battery truck fire that closed down I-15 yesterday.

@SLCScanner 5:04 PM

#Baker #California I-15 closed near #Baker after a semi-truck carrying lithium batteries caught fire Friday morning. The fire was reported at approx 6:30am. I-15 was closed in both directions by 8:30am.

#CaliforniaHighwayPatrol and the #SanBernadinoFireDept advised the semi-truck overturned while hauling a “connex of lithium ion batteries.”

As of this moment the freeway remains #closed and thousands of people are stuck between #California and #LasVegas. With the current temperature at 108° and all vehicles stopped, people have their pets, elderly family members and they are running out of fuel, battery charge, food, water, medications etc. Some have been stuck since the 0830 closure yesterday morning. They have no update on when it will reopen. I-15 closure and I-40 is at a stand still. The last pic is a screenshot of traffic minutes ago.

The Sound Of Settled Science

Everyone knows that in recent years climate change has fueled floods, storms, and drought, making them much more common and intense. For instance, a 2023 Pew Research poll found that 84% of Americans believed that climate change had contributed to worsening floods, storms, or drought in their local communities.

The widespread public belief in climate change as a cause of the weather events that we experience and see on social media is nowadays conventional wisdom. It is a fact so obvious that it barely needs to be supported at all.

As renowned climate scientist Michael Mann explains, the detection of climate change is as simple as “turn on the television, read the newspaper or look out the window to see what is increasingly obvious to many.”

Given these apparently undeniable realities we might wonder why the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) spends so much time and effort on assessing the science of the detection and attribution of changes in climate. Well, for the IPCC at least, science still matters.

Given widespread popular beliefs and media-friendly experts willing to cater to those beliefs, many are surprised, shocked even, to learn that the IPCC has arrived at conclusions on extreme events and climate change that are completely at odds with conventional wisdom and popular opinion.

You’ll need them for the post election surge.

Vancouver Sun- B.C. may have rescinded COVID restrictions, but questions remain

“I’ve emphasized that we were the only jurisdiction in North America still punishing those critically needed workers,” said Falcon. “So what changed? Did some new science magically appear? Or is a looming election the only reason they’ve shifted direction?”

If another, more-virulent strain emerged, would Henry be prepared to restore pandemic restrictions, even if an election campaign were underway?

“Absolutely,” she insisted.

Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly’s visit to Beijing last week was built around an understanding of China that’s at least a decade out of date.

The minister and more than a few media analysts lauded the opportunity (the first by a Canadian foreign minister in almost seven years) for “dialogue” with China’s leadership. But dialogue involves a conversation, a shared approach to illuminate or resolve an issue. It’s what happens when senior officials from normal countries meet. But China hasn’t been a normal country since Xi Jinping ascended to paramount leadership in 2013. Xi’s China doesn’t do dialogue. […]

China almost certainly saw the visit in historical terms, as the deference shown to the ruler in Beijing by the emissary of a smaller state. And in this particular case such deference will be understood, unhelpfully, as Canada being invited to apologise face-to-face for daring to complain about China’s behaviour.

If treaty payments in the neighborhood of $126 billion don’t sink the Canadian economy, I don’t know what would. While it’s true that the annual per person treaty payments are very low, why wouldn’t a court also take into account the mushrooming budget for the Department of Indigenous and Northern Affairs which made such payments redundant over many decades?

In a unanimous ruling, the panel of nine judges declared both Canada and Ontario had “dishonourably breached” their obligations under the Robinson Treaties signed with the Anishinaabe of Lake Huron and Lake Superior in 1850.

Harley Schacter, a lawyer for Red Rock First Nation and Whitesand First Nation which started the group’s fight back in 2001, told reporters on Friday he believes his clients are owed “a couple of billion to as much as $126 billion.”

“It’s a victory for everybody.”

Everybody, that is, with the exception of taxpayers.
