IOWA CITY — Educate. Advocate. Agitate.

That isn’t the official slogan for 100 Grannies, but in the year that’s passed since women of a certain age joined together for the benefit of the climate, they say they’ve done all three.

“I think people are impressed we’ve been able to do what we’ve done in a year,” said Barbara Schlachter, the group’s founder.

This includes forming the group, educating children and their parents about the impact of global warming during the Iowa City Arts Festival, attending protest rallies both locally and nationally — even if it meant getting arrested — and launching a local movement to ban single-use plastic bags in Iowa City.

100 Grannies began after Schlachter spent a weekend with her grandchildren and read a book about climate change. The combination of the two ignited concerns about the environment the next generation will inherit.

“Climate change is happening faster than ever,” Schlachter says. “Carbon dioxide levels have passed 390 parts per million in our atmosphere — this is the highest level in human history.”

Eliminating the use of fossil fuels would slow down this acceleration, which is why 100 Grannies support environmental initiatives dedicated to this mission, such as the plastic bag ban.

Eliminating the use of fossil fuels would have frozen countless people in Iowa this winter.

NOAA issued the three-month U.S. Spring Outlook today, stating that odds favor above-average temperatures across much of the continental United States, including drought-stricken areas of Texas, the Southwest and the Great Plains. Spring promises little drought relief for most of these areas, as well as Florida, with below- average spring precipitation favored there.

NOAA predicts mixed bag of drought, flooding and warm weather for spring

Spring temperatures have been the coldest in almost a century, and most of the US has been drenched with rain.

The CIA is much smarter now, and knows that bad weather is actually caused by non-existent global warming.

Trees are considered “renewable energy” so greenies are destroying the environment, in order to save it.

Many millions of tonnes of wood pellets will soon be shipped annually to help keep the lights on in the UK. Other EU nations may follow.

Critics say subsidising wood burning wastes money, does nothing to tackle climate change in the short term, and is wrecking some of the finest forests in the US.

I have tracked the controversial trade from the swamp forests of North Carolina to the towering chimneys of the UK’s biggest power station, Drax in Yorkshire, which is converting half its boilers from coal to wood.

The implications are complicated and disputed, but it is clear that EU leaders did not have burning American wood in mind when they mandated that 20% of Europe’s energy should come from “renewable” sources.

What is clear is that EU leaders are a bunch of imbeciles.

Temperatures in the center of the Greenland Ice Sheet are colder than they were on January 5, and are averaging -34C this year.
