The “just transition” report is nothing short of the utter transformation of Canada

Entitled “Creating a Fair and Equitable Energy Transformation,” The 56 page report outlines nothing short of the utter transformation of Canada, its economy and workforce, by way of transitioning away from fossil fuels to a largely electric economy, with the possibility of hydrogen usage as well. In doing so it means to largely do away with the fossil fuel industry which is one of Canada’s largest industries and contributors to GDP, exports and wealth. The report provides recommendations as to what to do with the people involved in that industry, but not so much the companies who employ them, create those jobs or that wealth.

On Thursday, I’ll have the detailed Conservative response from MP Shannon Stubbs.

In The Mail

Susan Crockford has a new book out.

Polar Bear Evolution: A Model for How New Species Arise  published by Canadian zoologist Dr. Susan Crockford (paperback/ebook) explains everything about the origin of polar bears: not just when and where the species arose, but exactly how it happened! No other book like this exists. Despite decades of serving as an icon for the catastrophic climate change narrative, the polar bear has never had its evolutionary history explained so completely, never mind in a fully-referenced, plain-language style. This comprehensive look at polar bear evolution provides critical insight into why we should expect Ursus maritimus to survive, even if the climate gets warmer than it is now.

I, Nipperleon

TNC News;

A Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) style guide from the University of Guelph says that “they/them” pronouns should be used when referring to animals because animals reportedly don’t have a gender.

“Animals have sex, not gender,” reads the style guide. “Use the pronouns they/them/their to refer to an animal.”

It adds that “he/him” or “she/her” pronouns are however appropriate for animals “if used in a quote, if used in the kind of story where it seems appropriate to humanize the animal, or where the sex is known: The queen bee left her hive. The stag charged at his rival.”

Guelph’s woke SOGI style guide, which states that people should “aim to use inclusive language,” also touches on neopronouns and gender-neutral terms.

More than a lifetime of debt

I’m always a little skeptical when I see the term “expert” in an op-ed title these days, but in this case he seems to know what he is talking about.

“I’ve had many clients with amortizations, that are 70, 80, even 90 years remaining, in the extreme cases, and that’s simply because their payments are not going towards any principle at all,” he said.

“It’s mainly because the payments are strictly just paying interest to the bank, they’re not paying down any of the principal payment at all.”

Many of these same “experts” are getting worried about infinite mortgage amortization, but it’s unlikely anything will be done about it for one simple reason: monetary authorities fear a 2008 style wave of mortgage defaults far more than they fear 90 year mortgages. These authorities previously assured us that only good things can come from zero percent interest rates, and unfortunately a large portion of the population believed them.

About that just transition…

Late on Monday the federal Natural Resources Committee released its final report on the “just transition.” Pipeline Online will have several stories on it over the coming days, but the first is the verbatim 19 recommendations by the committee. Both the Conservatives and Bloc issued dissenting reports.

One of the things all this just transitioning is all about is switching from coal, oil and gas to wind and solar. Well, today, the day before the solstice, solar power in Alberta at noon was producing half its rated capacity.

When The FBI Does It, That Means That It’s Not Illegal

The FBI is accused of misleading the wife of an American hostage as U.S. officials worked to release missionary Jeff Woodke, who was held captive by Islamic extremists for more than six years.

Woodke, 62, was released in March and recounted his half-decade in captivity after being kidnapped from his home in Niger by Islamic militants in October 2016. Woodke and his wife, Els, told the Associated Press that they believe FBI officials withheld information and misled them about the scope of demands from the kidnappers. […]

According to the Woodkes, U.S. officials poorly communicated with them on the status of the negotiations and offered little help raising money for a ransom. Els Woodke said her frustration came to a boiling point during a Zoom call with Secretary of State Antony Blinken a few weeks before her husband was released.

“I said, if it was you that had been kidnapped, you would be free in a week because your wife is free to take from your money and buy you free,” she recalled telling Blinken. “So because you are rich, you can pay the ransom. But a poor person is never able to do that.”

Y2Kyoto: Down In Flames

“Experts say dry air, strong winds, parched trees and grass and soaring temperatures caused the Oak fire to expand rapidly through the rugged foothills in recent days. The area has experienced nearly two weeks of triple digit temperatures and low humidity,” The Guardian reported of the Oak Fire as it spread. “All this comes at a time when the state is seeing increasingly destructive and deadly blazes and the climate crisis creates conditions ripe for destruction.”

Taxpayer funded (in part) PBS emphasized that the Oak Fire was one of the “devastating consequences” of the “global climate crisis.”

Over at CNN, Chief Climate Correspondent Bill Weir explained how a “‘megadrought’ driven by climate change that is affecting California and other western states has left plenty of dry, flammable material that can become fuel so quickly, especially when humidity is low and winds are high.”

I won’t spoil the punchline.

One Flu Out Of The Wuhan Nest

From a thread by Yuri Deigin;

Speaking of HKU4 and MERS, using forensic metagenomics, we have uncovered evidence that someone in Wuhan was actively pursuing gain-of-function research of these viruses in late 2019 — we have discovered a novel synthetic backbone of a previously unpublished HKU4-related virus, as well as a variant of that backbone with a MERS spike gene spliced in instead of the original spike gene […]
