The climate crazies want us to eat insects and worms. Let those deranged idiots eat those things while the rest of us eat meat. Screw the climate cult.

During the Medieval Warm Period, which was significantly warmer than today for several centuries, there was no need for people to rethink how they did anything. Indeed, with the warm weather, it was a very prosperous time. It was the next cycle, a cold cycle known as the Little Ice Age or the Maunder Minimum, that presented more of a challenge to human society. Then there was the granddaddy of all warm periods, the Holocene Maximum, when it was much warmer than today for three thousand years. That was the heyday of ancient Greek civilization, and ancient Greek writings show they also did not have to rethink anything due to it being warm, and again it was a very prosperous time.

That "rethinking" you support is nothing but globalist efforts at people control, part of Klaus Schwab's "Great Reset", and why the left hypes this "climate change" mania so hard

Hawaii's electric company KNEW the lesson. THey studied what happened in California FIVE YEARS AGO. And it is MORE than just turning power off sometimes. It is protecting power lines from blowing down. But they would rather build hideous and inefficient wind and solar farms instead.

It is your woke "global warming" narrative that is untrue. The Earth has always gone through cyclical warming and cooling cycles. We are in one of those natural cycles right now and turning over our energy sector to control by China which dominates the wind and solar supply chain is just nuts, Bolshevik Bob. It is just another aspect of your advocay for Red China.

Hawaii's woke electric company studied the problems with power lines blowing down in high winds in California and starting wildfires five years ago but did nothing to secure their power lines at home, They would rather fritter sawy their time on the woke climate narrative than protect their customers from wildfire by makking their lines more secure. California's electric company got sued for that, and Hawaii's should as well.

Solar and wind power also threaten the consumers' pocketbooks. Everywhere solar and wind have been implemented in a big way has seen huge electric rate increases for consumers. Germany's residential electric rates have zoomed to three times those of North Carolina since Merkel started her "energy trasnistion" to wind and solar. Even compared to its neighbors, German electric rates are twice as high as neighboring nuclear powered France and almost three times as high as coal-fired Poland. That is what these despicable RINOs Berger and Moore are bringing to North Carolina, working hand in glove for the same policies as Biden.

Browny, you have hit the nail on the head. Red China dominates the supply chain for both raw materials and finished equipment for the wind and solar boondoggles. Going to wind and solar is making us dependent on China, a dangerous enemy, for our energy.

Our foreign aid budget needs a meat cleaver taken to it, and this particular spending to the Taliban is an outrage. Is Biden also sending money to ISIS or Al Qaeda? Biden and many of his underlings need to be in prison.

North Carolina does not need casinos. They bring in crime and labor unions. Phil Berger and Jim Perry are so out of touch with the Republican base, they act more like Democrats as they carry water for the liberal positions of the special interests.

Thanks, Keith, for looking out for us. I wish we had more legislators who did that. Norm Sanderson seems to always come through, too, but there are too few of you in the Republican caucus.

Our local gas prices are being manipulated. I bought gas in Craven County west of New Bern Saturday for $3.38 a gallon. It was NOT a Speedway. Another station hereby was $3.39. This was several days after the prices in Washington were jacked up about 30 cents higher than that. Indeed, Greenville has always had the highest gas prices around and coming back through Greenville I saw quite a few stations cheaper than Washiington. We know who is manipulating our gas prices.

Race hustler Bob is so obsessed with race as usual, that he / she can't see the forest for the trees. Hitler's dictatorial powers were built by using executive action and bypassing the elected Reichstag. That is exactly what the Biden regime is doing. Government control of private business while leaving it in private ownership is a key element of fascist doctrine, and it is what Hitler did. Biden is on that same path which was known as "the corporate state" in the 1930s. Then there is gun control which is really people control, that was a part of Hitler's power play in the 1930s as it is in Biden's today.

If the Biden group goes racial / ethnic at all, their targets will not be the ones you mention, but will be Christian white straight males or people with one or more of those characteristics.

Your globalist narrative tells you that, Bolshevik Bob, but if you live in the real world, buy gas and groceries, for example, you would know the narrative is nothing but BS. The polls show that most Americans understand that. Here for example is a very recent one from CBS News, a knee jerk liberal source but that still shows real people do not agree with Biden's blather on the economy: www.cbsnews.com

America in 2023 feels like Germany in 1933 or Russia in 1917 must have felt. Our democracy is on the edge and may be about to go over completely. Biden is not bright enough to be doing this, but those pulling his puppet strings are.

Ted Budd is the only senator NC taxpayers can count on, and Dan Bishop is the only congressman we can count on. The rest of our delegation are tax and spend snakes. Walter Jones used to be one of the taxpayers' best friends in DC, but his RINO replacement, Greg Murphy sells out to the RINO swamp leadership at the drop of a hat.

That chart is instructive. Considering all the wasteful taxpayer subsidies of wind and solar, they provide only a tiny part of our energy needs. Biden wasted hundreds of billions more on that fools errand. This is nothing but a politically motivated boondoggle. The Democrats don't care how much they raise our electric rates just so they can pay hommage to their Climate Scientology cult.

Here is another lie from the climate alarmists, including the UN. As they whine about how hot it is this summer, they neglect to tell you that the percentage of the US that has reached 100 degrees F this summer is only 18%, which is a record low. The record high was in 1936, when it was 79%. 1936 was in the middle of the Great Depression, when industrial activity including production of CO2 had cratered.

Warm or cold ocean water temperatures are what drive the El Nino / La Nina cycles that last 2 or 3 years and then reverse. We are currently in a strong El Nino period. El Nino or La Nina has a very significant impact on temperatures and rainfall on land.

Climate science has long known of the multi-century warming and cooling cycles the Earth goes through, and the last previous warming cycle, the Medieval Warm Period, was warmer than today for several hundred years. The biggest warm period, the Holocene Maximum, was much warmer than today for three thousand years. Northing bad happened to Earth in any of the previous warm periods. Indeed humanity suffered worse in the last cooling period, known as the Little Ice Age or the Maunder Minimum.

If one actually looked at how the greenhouse effect works, it is clear that the greenhouse effect is NOT involved in current warming. If the greenhouse effect went away, the Earth would be far too cold to sustain life. All of that is explained in that British TV documentary.

Like most far lefts types, you take a small piece of information and twist it into something you claimi in major but it is not.

No wonder the economy is adrift and inflation is raging. And wait until their green new deal climate policies take hold and everyone sees their electric bills skyrocket.

Of course, "redistribution" is just another term for socialism, if not communism.

A physicist understands how all the processes involvee actually work, and can understand the fact that CO2 has never driven climate in the past and does not do so now. And the mad scientist in Sweden who invented the manmade CO2 global warming theory back in 1896 was, guest what?, a physicist. The theory had so little credibility that it was totally forgotten until someone dredged it up in 1981.

There are scientists expert on the climate and in fact who have attended the UN's climate chanage conferences who are interviewed in that British TV documentary who tear the manmade CO2 theory of global warming to shreds.

The climate alarmist scientists rely on the voodoo science of computer modelling. When one sets up a computer model, they can set it up to produce whatever range of results they want.

One of the sets of facts that disproves the manmade CO2 theory of global warming is the relationship between warming and the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. If CO2 caused warming, itcreases in it would precede warming, but it doesn't. Instead it does the opposite and lags substantially behind warming, meaning it is a RESULT of the warming, NOT a cause of it.

This Andy Wells sounds like what we do not need as governor. Dale Folwell is the clear choice for taxpayers. He has the track record as State Treasurer both on understanding and dealing with the issues and having the backbone to stand up and fight. Folwell is head and shoulders above the rest. Robinson talks a very good game, but his performance is not up to that of Folwell. Still, he would be my second choise.

This ferry toll business would be bad for both the people and the economy of Beaufort County if it is not stopped in the legislature.

Stan, you are spot on when you call Perry "tone deaf". I checked into him when he screwed us on the Medicaid expansion, which is part and parcel of Obamacare. He is personally a multi-millionaire who in his own life does not have to worry about what things cost, so he just doesn't care about the financial burdens he places on others. He did not care that the Medicaid expansion would drive up health care costs and insurance costs for the rest of us. He does not care that the ferry tolls will be a financial burden on those who have to use the ferries daily to get to their jobs. He did not care that the Green New Deal he pushed will cause major increases in the electric bills for ordinary citizens and for small busiinesses.

And Steven, you put it very mildly when you said you wished Perry would listen more to grassroots Republicans. The fact is that he does not listen at all. Perry's MO is to gather campaign money from special interests and then do their bidding in Raleigh. He had done nothing in the Republican Party when a Senate vacancy occured and Perry was looking for something to do after selling his company. He has spent no time in the party trenches and does not appreciate party activists or voters.

Jim Perry is exactly the type of person that we do NOT need to be electing to public office. He does not seem to have been a major player in pushing the tolls, but he was in a position he could have fought it when it went through the Senate and failed to do so.

If you are referring to the Climategate emails by the climate alarmist politicized scientists, yeah what they were doing trying to cancel any scientist with a different opinion was surely political and not real science, but that is characteristic of the climate alarmist mad scientists.

No, I am referring to the many senior scientists from prestigious institutions who were interviewed for that documentary on a major British TV network, Channel 4. You can watch it now on the internet but it was originally broadcast over the air throughout the UK.

Or there is the 2022 Nobel Prize winner in physics, Dr. John Clauser who wrote: "The popular narrative about climate change reflects a dangerous corruption of science that threatens the world's economy and the well-being of billions of people"

Little Bobbie just follows his globalist narrative and refuses to look at the real science. If he would just listen to those prominent scientists from around the world interviewed in that British TV documentary on the global warning scare, he would see the reams of scientific evidence that actively disproves the theory of manmade global warming by CO2.

And actually CO2 is beneficial. It is a necessary nutrient for plants. THe more of it in the atmosphere, the better plants grow. Eliminate it and all plants would die, soon followed by all animals once the food chain was gone.

Some lemmings will take the globalist narrative on climate alarmism as a cause, but thinking people look deeper instead of mindlessly following that ideological knee jerk position. The reality is that a number of natural climate cycles are in play. One is the annual cycle. It is summer and summer is hot. Another is a cycle that tends to last two or three years at a time called El Nino, which also brings hotter weather to North America. We are presently in a particularly strong El Nino cycle. The third is the multi-century warming and cooling cycles. For over a century we have been in a natural multi-century warming cycle, after coming out of a cooling cycle known as the Little Ice Age or Maunder Minimum in the 19th century. All of those cycles bring hotter weather.

CO2 has nothing to do with it. If you would follow the real science instead of the globalist science, you would be aware that CO2 increases do not precede warming phases, but instead FOLLOW them by several hundred years, meaning they are a RESULT of the warming, NOT a cause of it. Only the charlatans who promote it, and the witless fools who believe them, adhere to the climate alarmist dogma. You are clearly not smart enough to be among the charlatans cashing in on this hoax, so you would be one of the witless fools who can't figure out what is really going on, Bobbie.

The market has already decided on the fake meat made from plants. It has been a huge flop in the market. You globalists are pushing us toward all sorts of crap instead of meat, including insects and worms. Real people are not going to go for that crap. Frankenstein meat will be the same. Who wants to be a guinea pig to see what might happen down the road to our bodies from how that stuff is made.

Government agencies under Biden are corrupt, and should never be trusted.

Every bit of it is true, Lyin' Bob. There have been articles with links on most of it previously posted on this site. Your "none of this is true" posts always mean that all of it is true but it goes against your far left narrative. Ask a German about their power prices. Heck the German senator who sponsored Merkel's Energie Wende in the Bunderstag issued a public apology for all the damage it did several years ago, and at the time that was also posted with a link on this site.

Or ask someone from the Australian state of South Australia. When they had coal fired power, they had the cheapest residential electric rates in the world. Now that the Labour Party has imposed its "green energy superpower" policies and blown up all their coal power plants, their residential electric rates are higher than Germany. They have had their first statewide blackout due to failure of wind turbines, and have regular rolling blackouts.
Commented: Sunday, July 23rd, 2023 @ 7:54 am By: Concerned Taxpayer
Wind and solar are a disaster everywhere they have made significant inroads. They mean much higher energy prices for consumers and major risks of blackouts and brownouts.

Germany was an even earlier red flag on the problems of wind and solar. Angela Merkel's Energie Wende was the first major push to wind and solar and it has brought German electric rates that are three times what we pay in North Carolina and still rapidly rising. They have only been able to avoid blackouts by buying nuclear power from France and coal fired power from Poland. Energy prices tell a lot of the story, too. Electric rates in nuclear powered France are half of what they are in Germany, and those of coal-fired Poland even cheaper.

France is starting a major building project of more nuclear power plants and Poland has awarded contracts for multiple nunclear plants, a first for them. Sweden and Finland have also recently rejected pushing wind and solar in favor of more nuclear power.

The hot air is coming from the climate alarmist trolls such as China Bob, who want to make us dependent on the ChiComs for our energy by pushing us into wind and solar where the supply chains are controlled by China. China and Russia have both spent a lot of money pushing this climate alarmism here and in Europe. Maybe China Bob is on their payroll.

China just flexed its muscles on control of the wind and solar supply chain by an export ban on some critical minerals needed for green energy such as galinium and germanium. That will force others to buy the finished products from Chinese manufacturers.

China Bob clearly does not want to learn the real science that refutes the Climate Scientology cult, which he could learn easily enough by watching the British TV documentary "The Great Global Warming Swindle" which interviews a lot of prominent scientists who blow the global warming theory to pieces. It was broadcast nationally in the UK on Channel 4 and can be watched free here: www.youtube.com

Chinese troll Bob may not get it, but warming and cooling cycles occur naturally, and are not manmade, no matter what the wizzards of the Climate Scientology cult try to tell you. That applies to the natural annual Winter-Spring-Summer-Fall-Winter cycle and to the multi-century heating and cooling cycles. These multi-century cycles have existed since the Earth has existed and have nothing whatsoever to do with CO2. The last warming cycle, the Medieval Warm Period ended when natural forces caused it to end, not anything man did or did not do. Then we had a cooling cycle known as the Little Ice Age that ended in the 19th century. Now we are in a natural warming cycle again, and it will end when it ends. The granddaddy of warming cycles, known as the Holocene Maximum lasted 3,000 years but ultimately reversed to a cooling cycle. The Medieval Warm Period was warmer than today and the Holocene Maximum much warmer, but neither had the apocolyptic results the Climate Alermists of today whine about. The Holocene Maximum, in fact, included the hayday of ancient Greek civlization.

We have our own energy - coal, gas, oil, nuclear, that is cheaper for consumers and does not make us dependent on China. I understand that you Bidenites are all who Chinese and want to make us dependent on their communist dictatorship. Energy is of strategic importance, and now that we are no longer dependent on the Middle East, we do NOT need to become dependent on an even more dangerous place like China.

CAn't you get it through your think skull, that the issue is not what they do with the money, but that we do not need China controlling our energy, which happens if we depend on forms of energy like wind and solar where China controls the supply chain of both necessary finished products and raw materials. No, I do not like them having our money either, but this is a MUCH larger issue than that.
