Climate protestors missed court date for blocking traffic in Stuttgart Germany to end fissile fuels because they were vacationing in Bali.

But I'm sure they swam to Bali to avoid carbon emissions, or maybe hitched a ride holding onto a dolphin's dorsal fin.

In somewhat related news this morning:

Greta Thunberg encourages climate activists to break laws to get out of "existential crisis"
https://voz.us/greta-thunberg-encourage ... s/?lang=en

On Friday, Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg urged fellow activists to go outside "legal methods" to achieve their climate goals.

The 20-year-old, who is focused on the risks of global warming, was a guest on the The View to talk about the "existential emergency" presented by climate change.
...
The young woman tried to justify her stance by pointing out that throughout history there have been movements that chose to push the limits in order to succeed and noted that this is precisely what should be used as an example.

"If we want to see real changes… if we look through history, if people who were advocating for, for example, social justice, if they had only used the legal methods, then we wouldn’t be where we are today for example when it comes to racial rights, and women's voting, "she said.

Greta Thunberg as a guest on The View. I don't think I could come with a better combination to stay well away from ABC during the day. And by the way, how did creepy Greta get to the U.S. to be a guest on the show? Was it Dolphin Uber again? Or did she <gasp> rely on some form of transportation powered by fossil fuel?

The mainstream propaganda for eating insects instead of beef begins today. The sustainable superfood.

Do these radical greenie nimrods bother to think about, even momentarily, the stuff they spout?

Grasshopper
Portion Size: 30g
Total Fat: 1.1g
Cholesterol: 3.3mg
Total Carbohydrate: 9.6g
Protein: 0.3g
Essential Amino Acids Present: Leucine (80.9–88.5), Lysine (54.0–69.8), Valine (59.2–61.8)
Essential Amino Acids Absent: Histidine, Isoleucine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Threonine, and Tryptophan

The average grasshopper weighs 300mg. The long-horned grasshopper (family Tettigoniidae; commonly called katydids in North America) weigh (undried) about 0.54 grams. So let's be generous and say 500mg dried: 2 dried grasshoppers equal 1 gram in weight for purposes of serving size.

The World Health Organization sets the Safe Level of Protein (SLP) intake at 0.83 grams per kilogram per day, or 0.38 grams per pound per day. A 200-pound man would need, per the WHO minimum, 76 grams of protein per day. (As someone who lifts weights with mild seriousness, my general target is 0.7-0.8 grams per pound of bodyweight per day; for our 200-pound example, that would be around 150 grams of protein, but we won't even go there...)

It takes 60 grasshoppers to reach the portion size of 30 grams...which yields only 0.3 grams of protein. That means it would take 3.33 30g servings to reach 1 gram of protein; that's 253 servings to reach 76 grams of very incomplete protein: only 3 of the 9 essential amino acids.

At 60 grasshoppers per serving, that's 15,180 grasshoppers per day to meet minimum, safe protein intake guidelines for one human.

The 2020 population of San Antonio was 1.529 million. If we got just 1.529 million people (about 0.46% of the U.S. population) to switch to grasshoppers for their protein source, we'd need over 23.2 billion grasshoppers every single day, or over 8.468 trillion each year to minimally sustain just San Antonio...and then people would be dying from lack of essential amino acids if they didn't also have other sources of protein.

But they could supplement with plant protein, right? Well...

Have any of these climate change alarmists bothered to even ask an entomologist about this idea...or spend three minutes on Google?

"Grasshopper environmental damage is most often associated with rangeland, corn, small grains, and vegetable crops. However, during heavy infestations almost any type of plant may be attacked, including trees, shrubs, ornamentals, flowers, and turfgrass. Grasshoppers are commonly thought of as foliage feeders, but will also feed on flowers, fruits, seed heads, stems, and essentially all above ground plant parts."

Idiots! If we could harvest enough grasshoppers to support just 1% of the U.S. population, we'd have a literal, Biblical plague of locusts destroying all the plant life on which everything feeds.

Only because I accidentally stumbled across this short--absolutely factual--piece from the Babylon Bee...

Yeppers! I laid into that one last Thursday here on here on the forum. You should read her dissertation (I linked to it there...assuming the lib machine hasn't already taken down the paper). I'd have an easier time believing it was a 10th-grade high school thesis. It's that bad.

Before I had to switch live feeds, he said people were staying indoors this year because of poor air quality.

FACT CHECK

Joe Biden: "People were staying indoors this year because of poor air quality."

RESPONSE: VERIFIED!

If someone who has COVID-19 sneezes in your face, the resultant air quality is in fact poor. We are also awaiting comment from Dr. Jill Biden on the medical specifics of this issue since none other than the erudite Whoopi Goldberg has stated that Dr. Jill should be the new Surgeon General of the United States because she's such an amazing doctor.

Just stumbled across this; if it's been posted before, apologies. The opening few seconds just gets your eyebrows scrunched up. But hang on to listen to Jordan Peterson...

Greta threatens Facebook with leaving if they don’t silence her critics.

Yet the 16-year-old seems unready for the realities of the real world, including the fact that there are people who will disagree with her, whether she does good or bad. She’s finding criticism enervating, suggesting that those who are opposing her crusade are “interfering with democracy,” and they should be censored by Facebook.
