(Japan) has more than 90 coal plants and plans to operate 22 additional new plants. It relies on coal for more than a third of its power generation needs, resulting in an upward increase in carbon emissions.

Japan’s woeful climate plan amounts to science denial

Seven months ago, a global warming research team got trapped in the ice there. That would have been around the time when the women showed up.

This is quite different from 98 years ago, when there was no ice around Svalbard all winter.

The women say they have seen climate change, when all they have seen is cold, snow and lots of Polar Bears. When there is money and publicity involved, no lie is too big.

I’m living in Central Nebraska this month, staying at the home of a night-shift ICU nurse who works at a regional hospital which covers most of the state of Nebraska.  She is a single mom who lost all of her tenants due to them losing their jobs over COVID panic. If I hadn’t of showed up she wouldn’t have been able to pay her bills this month.

She faces the additional burden of schools being closed. Apparently society expects her to work 12 hours of ICU at night, and teach her children during the day. It is fortunate that I am a former schoolteacher and will be help out with educating her children for a few weeks.

COVID panic is ruining countless lives, and I am doing what I can to help. I’m even doing the big game hunting.
