Geoff, The Australian Climate Sceptics Blog - 22 hours ago
From: American Thinker, 5/13/21 (LINK) By Thomas Lifson A prestigious intergovernmental organization created by the world’s advanced economies is pointing out the bottleneck in the plans to substitute so-called green energy for hydrocarbon-based energy: the availability of key minerals necessary for battery storage, wind farms, solar panels, and other gizmos necessary for the switchover. Simply put: the world can’t provide the quantity of those minerals that would be necessary, and the environmental and social impact of trying to mine them in sufficient quantities would be deva...

In fact, it’s pretty much been the unofficial standard-of-care drug for the treatment of appetite loss during illness or chemotherapy for a long time. So we’d expect people smoking cannabis to have higher rates of obesity and type 2 diabetes, because of the munchies. Yet it’...

Religion and Conservatism
Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 1 day ago
Religion is more conservative than any other aspect of human life. Nations can rely upon religion to serve as a powerful counter to utopian and totalitarian movements. A nation which has lost its sense of religion can never be conservative. The movement against religion, modern atheism, started in France in the eighteenth century (the so-called Age of Enlightenment), and by the 1970s atheism had conquered Europe, North America, and significant parts of Asia. This has effectively finished conservatism. There still are a few political movements which claim to be conservative, but thei...
