Extinction Rebellion facing ‘organised crime’ curbsÂ

Looks like the UK government and the police are finally getting tired of allowing themselves to be made to look weak by XR climate buffoons. Tolerance doesnât work with fanatics.

Extinction Rebellion could be treated as an organised crime group as part of a major crackdown on its activities that may also include new protections for MPs, judges and the press, the Telegraph can disclose.
Whitehall sources said Boris Johnson and Priti Patel have asked officials to take a âfresh lookâ at how the group is classified under the law, after the Prime Minister described its blockading of major printing presses as âcompletely unacceptableâ.
On Saturday, police were criticised for failing to act more quickly after the blockade began on Friday evening.
Hertfordshire police faced anger for stating that officers were âworking to facilitate the rights of both the protesters and those affected byâŠ

Code Black: Mass Blackouts Just Beginning of Californiaâs Renewable Energy Debacle
06 Sep 2020 Leave a comment
Californiaâs a place renowned for its woolly-headed thinking, not least its suicidal obsession with chaotically intermittent wind and solar.
A couple weeks back, during a blistering Californian Summer, a spike in electricity demand (think millions of air conditioners running at full tilt) combined with calm weather, desert cloud cover and, later, sunset to leave millions of Californians sweating it out in the dark. No doubt wondering about where their next kilowatt might come from.
Not content with wrecking their power supply, Californian policymakers now want to, of all things, force an increase in demand for the most costly and erratically supplied electricity in the US. Robert Bryce takes us on another trip down the rabbit hole that is Californian energy policy.

Does Income Inequality Cause Poor Health?
06 Sep 2020 Leave a comment
Paul Kelleher caught some flack for a blog post last week in which he approvingly cited a 2003 study by Angus Deaton and Darren Lubotsky (DL) that supposedly refutes the idea that income inequality causes poor health. I was curious. Paul sent me the original paper, a 2009 published critique by Ash and Robinson (AR), a reply by DL, and a longer article by Deaton.
Even though the original DL paper is getting old, and the field has progressed substantially since 2003, there is still an important take home message from this debate. Stated simply: income inequality may be one cause of poor health, but income inequality is also likely to be a mediator of other upstream causes of mortality.

Fifty Years of Growth in American Consumption, Income, and Wages By Bruce Sacerdote (Darmouth) Abstract: Despite the large increase in U.S. income inequality, consumption for families at the 25th and 50th percentiles of income has grown steadily over the time period 1960-2015.
