Whatever Will Climateers Cook Up Next?

By Tony Thomas

Among the inspirational spokesfolk sermonising about saving the planet from fossil fuels are actress Jane Fonda and ex-husband Ted Turner (2024 net worth $US2.5 billion). Jane ditched Ted in 2001 after 10 years marriage, leaving Ted so heart-broken that he needed a quartet of girlfriends for consolation. He rotated each for one week per month.

Jane extracted $US40 million from Ted as a divorce settlement. This helped keep the wolf from her door as she turned author in 2020 to write “What Can I Do?” about arresting the planet’s imminent death from CO2. The same year, with other Hollywood A-listers, she also signed a petition against excessive consumerism, which demanded that governments fiercely crack down on emissions:

The ongoing ecological catastrophe is a meta-crisis: the massive extinction of life on Earth is no longer in doubt, and all indicators point to a direct existential threat … The pursuit of consumerism [see here] and an obsession with productivity have led us to deny the value of life itself …

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
Read that article!

Then consider this (found on Google search) in view of the current evil in the world: According to the National Missing and Unidentified Persons (NamUS) database, which is funded by the U.S. Department of Justice, more than 600,000 people go missing annually. Approximately 4,400 unidentified bodies are recovered each year.

Even if the found are only 10% of those 'disposed of', that leaves over half a million a year unaccounted for...just in the US. Jeff Dahmer may not have been the only one, just the tip of that iceberg.

Me? I'm doing my best to be tough and stringy....

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
