Maggie's Farm

At the bottom of his climate hysteria article, Hinderaker says: "My guess is that no democracy will actually go through with the idiotic “green” promises that governments have made. I hope not, anyway...."

At the top of his article, Hinderaker says: "The large-scale reduction in farm animals comes after the passing of the ​​(Northern Ireland) jurisdiction’s first ever climate act...."

He's so busy trying to stir everybody up that he apparently didn't even both to read & process what he was quoting. That's some first-rate journalism-ing there. They already are going through with it.

You have to make coherent arguments to change minds. Greenwald, Taibbi, Weiss, and the rest of the reformist Progressives seem to be part of a small crowd actually conveying discovery as part of their work. Conservatives, not so much.

They have passed the Climate Act.

"

The Northern Ireland Assembly has passed climate change legislation committing the region to net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

A Bill tabled by Agriculture and Environment Minister Edwin Poots passed its final stage in the Assembly chamber and will now go forward for Royal Assent."

The Government has passed the Climate Change legislation, and as we all know, Government has a monopoly on what? Violence, to enforce its legislation. Do ya think Prince Charles will act to ensure Royal Assent?

Go ahead, convince me that any Government goes to the trouble to pass new laws in order to ignore them, rather than expand their power.

2 mis-directions, 0 ideas. I remain unconvinced if your construct is that a government passes legislation that it does not intend to ever enforce, or that multiple pathways to compliance is another way of saying it is not enforcing its regulations. Neither of those make sense.

My point was that Hinderaker asserts that the government will never go through with it. My counter is that the government is already going through with it, by passing legislation into enforceable law. You seem to be fixated on sheep, and the potential for multiple ways of achieving arbitrary targets. I couldn't care less. The government is passing a law with no clear idea, or even theory, of how to achieve its goal - except to get rid of livestock. What pathway do you think they are on, now that it's a law?

Over 500,000 illegal immigrants per month, that's what our infrastructure is purportedly geared up to turn loose on America with little-to-no background checking or immigration law, oops, excuse me: 'process'. How many Russian invaders are presently in Ukraine? A week's worth of illegals? And it's been going on here for how many years?

The story also contains a discussion of the newly-minted Disinformation Governance Board. Does anybody else get the sense that there is machinery in place for a back-door arrangement to have troublesome critics silenced by their media hosts on instructions from the Administration? There have already been hints of this from the Biden Press Secretary, that there are regular conversations between the White House and the media players. Will it eventually be revealed that the driver for account suspension and coordinated news coverage has always been from the Administration side, not from the networks/social media outlets? And that the Disinformation Board was just the final step in formalizing an already-existing arrangement, in order to give it even more authority?
