One of the nice things about CoTrip is that they show where the Plows are, managed to follow one most of the way back, lit up like a Christmas Tree.

I hope that you survive this global warming.

The odd thing it is not that cold, 25F but the wind kills you.

We've had this here.  Fortunately, wind has calmed down.  Climate change!

‘Hypocrisy’: Tata builds vast India furnace despite Port Talbot emissions claims
Owner says shutting Welsh blast furnaces will cut emissions, but it is opening a new one in India

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2024/jan/24/unions-accuse-tata-of-hypocrisy-over-port-talbot-closure-green-claims

 

In announcing the redundancies last week, the company said that the overhaul would “secure most of Tata Steel UK’s existing product capability and maintain the country’s self-sufficiency in steelmaking, while also reducing Tata Steel UK’s CO2 emissions by 5 million tonnes per year and overall UK country emissions by about 1.5%”.

However, the project at Kalinganagar could increase the company’s overall global emissions. It will be among the largest blast furnaces in the world, with a 5,870 cubic metre capacity, and is due to be completed this year.

 

I had relations who worked at Port Talbot, not sure if any distant ones do now, if so for not much longer. Many saw it as a better bet than the Mines.

Unless India, China, and others sacrifice their industrial capacity, the green dream is exactly that.

It just occurred to me that we could establish two new "rights" organizations:

 

   WAVE THE SAILS (if we're proponents of sails); and

   WAIVE THE SAILS (if we're anti-sail and wish to ban them).

 

If we produce T-shirts at $19.99 each to advertise and fund our groups, and if we wish to get visual attention focused on these shirts, we can Wave the Sales.  When selling ends, we can Waive the Sales.

The Planet Is Saved Now:  Climate Lunatics Throw Soup on the Mona Lisa

Climate activists are convinced that human irresponsibility has led to catastrophic warming of the planet, to the extent that people are starving.  But now they've hit on a solution: deface the world's great artworks with soup.  On Sunday, the Mona Lisa got the treatment, and I feel cooler already.  [...]

The Louvre should have electrified netting to come down on these idiots, and if they use glue, leave them be with only a Swiss Army knife.

Eggs and Stones May Not Break Bones But Euro Farmers Are Angry

 

As to the climate cultists, if they were planning on going anywhere near Brussels today, it might be a better idea to stay put.  The figurative sacrificial chickens for your cult haven't come home to roost on the streets surrounding the European Parliament building – the literal ones have.

 

European farmers began descending on the city en masse in the pre-dawn dark this morning to protest the EU's over-regulation and crippling economic burdens.  [...]
