Frankly the first fucking thing they should do is tax churches and give the proceeds to Planned Parenthood.

And the other thing they should do is abolish any charity that makes god bothering a condition of receiving aid.

Once again your googling proves absolutely nothing. Four Atheists who give money on one googled site and a list of non religious charities.

You really are just a big mouthed googler who knows SFA. Did that lonely neuron that floats in the echo chamber known as your brain cavity think that these non religious charities do not rely on donations?
Are you really so thick that you think every donor that supports these charities is an atheist and none at all comes from approx 32% of the worlds' population which is Christian?

It is quite evident that God in his infinite mercy has seen fit not to saddle you with the burden of intelligence, in fact, you give imbiciles a bad name.

BTW save you looking....wanker.

It's typical of members of the cult of the holy space fairy to think that if it wasn't for them, the world wouldn't be civilised.

But as these "Evangelists" demonstrate, in actual fact they're just a bunch of snobby, vindictive, racist c u n t s when it boils down to it.

Oh, and fucking paedos.

Climate activists celebrated Thursday the decision of the European Investment Bank to stop funding most oil and coal projects by 2021, part of a bid to be the world's first "climate bank."
The bank's board made the decision at a meeting on Thursday, CNBC reported.
"Truly amazing win," tweeted environmentalist Bill McKibben.


In a statement following the news, Friends of the Earth Europe fossil free campaigner Colin Roche said the bank's decision was a big one.
"Today's decision is a significant victory for the climate movement," said Roche. "Finally, the world's largest public bank has bowed to public pressure and recognised that funding for all fossil fuels must end—and now all other banks, public and private must follow their lead."
Nonetheless, Roche cautioned against complacency.
"But 2021 is still too late if we are to avoid the worst effects of climate breakdown, the EIB needs to reject any fossil fuel projects and close its loopholes for gas, and not wait till 2021," Roche said.
As Common Dreams reported, a previous commitment from the bank would have ended fossil fuel projects by the end of 2020.

According to Reuters, the new policy does not outright ban all fossil fuel projects, but makes most of them impossible under the new parameters:

Under the new policy, energy projects applying for EIB funding will need to show they can produce one kilowatt hour of energy while emitting less than 250 grams of carbon dioxide, a move which bans traditional gas-burning power plants.
Gas projects are still possible, but would have to be based on what the bank called "new technologies," such as carbon capture and storage, combining heat and power generation or mixing in renewable gases with the fossil natural gas.

"This is an important first step," EIB vice-president for energy Andrew McDowell told the BBC, "this is not the last step."
The news was welcomed by climate advocacy group 350 Action. In a statement, the group's Germany campaigner Kate Cahoon called the decision "the beginning of the end of climate-wrecking fossil fuel finance" but warned there was still work to do.
"The gas lobby has unfortunately managed to get Germany and the European Commission to insert some loopholes into the policy, which leave the door open for funding of dangerous fossil gas projects," said Cahoon. "They had better take note of the growing list of pipelines, terminals, and fracking wells that are scrapped thanks to local opposition and the unprecedented masses of people mobilizing for climate justice."
The bank's move was seen by 350's France campaigner Clémence Dubois as an example for other financial institutions across the globe.
"This is a clear signal to financial institutions in Europe and around the world that they must take rapid, transformative action to change their financial models, keep fossil fuels in the ground, and support a just transition to sustainable forms of energy for all," said Dubois.

Anyway, apart of that:

Greta Thunberg Sets Sail For Home — And The U.N. Climate Conference



Two and a half months after she arrived in New York Harbor, Greta Thunberg set sail back to Europe.

The 16-year-old Swede's visit to the U.S. was a barnstorming tour for our time: She had demanded of world leaders at the United Nations, "You all come to us young people for hope. How dare you?" She had marched alongside millions in the Global Climate Strike. She had rallied with thousands of fellow students in places like Iowa City. She had stood with Native American activists at Standing Rock.

And she experienced life in the U.S., a country she says plays an "incredibly important" role in fighting climate change.

"You are such a big country," she told NPR in September. "In Sweden, when we demand politicians to do something, they say, 'It doesn't matter what we do — because just look at the U.S.'

"I think you have an enormous responsibility" to lead climate efforts, she added. "You have a moral responsibility to do that."

With her steely gaze and unwavering push to make the world's adults take the necessary steps to avert further climate disaster, Thunberg has touched off a global movement with young people at the forefront.

Climate change has always been a Malthusian project.

let's take a wild guess as to who stumbled across malthus on the internet this weekend.

No Raymond. As I'm a student of economics, I've known for a long time.
This is why global warming shills are against nuclear even though nuclear is a zero co2 producing power source

Thankfully this will change. Obama's former green tech czar Michael Shellenberger has totally disowned all green tech except nuclear. He was in the Philippines recently helping change minds on nuclear. They toured phills nuclear plant that was never brought online.

Plus the only thing standing against nuclear is boomers. Millennials and zoomers support nuclear, boomers are pussies scared under their desks

You know what's standing against nuclear?

Three Mile Island, Chernobyl and Fukushima you daft twat.

It's time to throw away Nuclear Fission as the future, the future is Fusion.

then you are also calling Mike Shellenberger *a* daft twat. Thats who i got that from.

Millennials and zoomers support nuclear by a large majority. Winging Boomers, who equated civil nuclear power with atomic bombs because of the cold war, are the ones who believe the nuclear boogeyman story. So thankfully they will die out and take the nuclear boogeyman to the grave with them

They have just spent the better part of $2 billion dollars putting another shield over Chernobyl. And you think it's pointless?

The effects of Fukushima are rarely discussed, but we know radioactive material from that has been discovered as far away as Alaska, and Thyroid cancer cases in Japan have spiked as they did in Ukraine and Belarus earlier.

They've also just discovered a leak of Cesium-137 95km from Fukushima which shows it has polluted the groundwater extensively.

The only people who would support Fission reactors when Fusion is within reach must be particularly retarded.

And by the way, do you really believe the "official" figures for Chernobyl deaths? If so, you must live in a fucking cave.

Fusion is not in reach, you fucking idiot.

Umm ok...

The dream of nuclear fusion is on the brink of being realised, according to a major new US initiative that says it will put fusion power on the grid within 15 years.

The project, a collaboration between scientists at MIT and a private company, will take a radically different approach to other efforts to transform fusion from an expensive science experiment into a viable commercial energy source. The team intend to use a new class of high-temperature superconductors they predict will allow them to create the world’s first fusion reactor that produces more energy than needs to be put in to get the fusion reaction going.

Bob Mumgaard, CEO of the private company Commonwealth Fusion Systems, which has attracted $50 million in support of this effort from the Italian energy company Eni, said: “The aspiration is to have a working power plant in time to combat climate change. We think we have the science, speed and scale to put carbon-free fusion power on the grid in 15 years.”

The promise of fusion is huge: it represents a zero-carbon, combustion-free source of energy. The problem is that until now every fusion experiment has operated on an energy deficit, making it useless as a form of electricity generation. Decades of disappointment in the field has led to the joke that fusion is the energy of the future – and always will be.

The just-over-the-horizon timeframe normally cited is 30 years, but the MIT team believe they can halve this by using new superconducting materials to produce ultra-powerful magnets, one of the main components of a fusion reactor.

Prof Howard Wilson, a plasma physicist at York University who works on different fusion projects, said: “The exciting part of this is the high-field magnets.”

Fusion works on the basic concept of forging lighter elements together to form heavier ones. When hydrogen atoms are squeezed hard enough, they fuse together to make helium, liberating vast amounts of energy in the process.

However, this process produces net energy only at extreme temperatures of hundreds of millions of degrees celsius – hotter than the centre of the sun and far too hot for any solid material to withstand.

To get around this, scientists use powerful magnetic fields to hold in place the hot plasma – a gaseous soup of subatomic particles – to stop it from coming into contact with any part of the doughnut-shaped chamber.

A newly available superconducting material – a steel tape coated with a compound called yttrium-barium-copper oxide, or YBCO – has allowed scientists to produce smaller, more powerful magnets. And this potentially reduces the amount of energy that needs to be put in to get the fusion reaction off the ground.

“The higher the magnetic field, the more compactly you can squeeze that fuel,” said Wilson.

The planned fusion experiment, called Sparc, is set to be far smaller – about 1/65th of the volume – than that of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor project, an international collaboration currently being constructed in France.

The experimental reactor is designed to produce about 100MW of heat. While it will not turn that heat into electricity, it will produce, in pulses of about 10 seconds, as much power as is used by a small city. The scientists anticipate the output would be more than twice the power used to heat the plasma, achieving the ultimate technical milestone: positive net energy from fusion.
Prof Wilson was also cautious about the timeframe, saying that while the project was exciting he couldn’t see how it would achieve its goal of putting energy on the grid within 15 years.
Unlike with fossil fuels, or nuclear fuel like uranium used in fission reactions, there will never be a shortage of hydrogen.

The reaction also does not create greenhouse gases or produce hazardous radioactive waste of the sort made by conventional nuclear fission reactors.

Prof Maria Zuber, MIT’s vice-president for research, said that the development could represent a major advance in tackling climate change. “At the heart of today’s news is a big idea - a credible, viable plan to achieve net positive energy for fusion,” she said.

“If we succeed, the world’s energy systems will be transformed. We’re extremely excited about this.”

And the gibbering chimp pops his spotty head over the parapet to try and poke his mucus-dripping nose in.

They've already produced fusion in the lab you fucking moron, and a production scale test reactor is due to go live in 2025.

Fuck off back to your pompous pontificating on the Eurotrash debacle, You fucking inbred muppet.

Blow it out your arse, you gullible moron.

Fusion energy is a mirage except as a laboratory experiment.

The costs simply do not add up, nor does the e engineering.

The only people pushing it to credulous fuckwits like you are boiler room type scamsters peddling green energy frauds.

But if the day were to dawn and the world drives/flies/floats and fucks on fusion energy, it'll be a real gas when the fucking weather still gets hotter.

As Einstein said, only the universe and stupidity are infinite but he wasn't sure about the former.

Once again taking ranks with the idiotic science denying old fools.
