This is a great example of "crazy eyes" associated with delusional policies. I dare you to propose something this crazy in public without your eyes bugging out this way. https://t.co/g3uYmWpplm

It's nice that nuts make it so easy to recognize them.
Adam Schit has that look.
This nitwit Brit blames capitalism. China’s carbon emissions are increasing drastically. China isn’t capitalist.
Moonbat can go take down China if he likes. But he won’t do it.
Crazy bug-eyed Brit
"We've got to go straight to the heart of capitalism and overthrow it."
And end all the peace, prosperity and freedom it provides? Why'd we wanna do that?
Kill the pigs! Kill the pigs! Complete fantasy religion has replaced Christianity based civilization. Thanks a lot SCOTUS for oitlawing school prayer. It takes an intellectual to believe anything that stupid.
Go straight to the heart of the capitalism that provides me with Internet service, food, clothing and shelter and overthrow it.
23 million Russians and 65 million Chinese were unavailable for comment.
Sanpaku eyes.
How does he feel about the Halocene Epoch? If we fix that we could return to hunting and gathering, but vegan of course.
George Moonbat and his Leftwing British pals should consider inviting more Muslims to their storied nation. That would be a good way to overthrow capitalism, and George would get what he wants.
Kill the free exchange of ideas and products and services that make our standard of living the highest in the world.
Good idea. After you kill the goose, then what?
Don't tell the guy that the Green Nude Eel is a fish 'n' chips shop in SoHo.
How does he feel about the Halocene Epoch?
Is "Epoch" the name of Halocene's new album? I haven't heard it yet, so can't comment except snarkily like this.
Well, he does have a British accent, so obviously we should defer to him on this.
AOC gets those eyes too. It's the lefty bug-eye.
Monbiot has sometimes flirted with sanity, but he always reverts.
I suspect it’s because he has a brand, in the British press, which until very recently was not as controlled as that of the US and had to please the customers.
But the UK has been falling into the US media traps.
The Express, the Times, Sky News are all overtaken by the financial-elite-bureaucratic zeitgeist.
"We've got to go straight to the heart of capitalism and overthrow it."
And miss out on the sublime joy of seizing Michael Avennati's $5 Million jet due to unpaid tax liens? Are you crazy?!!?
The British climate is near perfect. It would be a shame if it changed.
Right now, the heart of Capitalism is Zuckerprick, Google, and Apple. Anyone who wants to 'overthrow' them has my support.
Here's some real crazy eyes:
Crazy Eyes booker
He appears to suffer from hyperthyroidism, hence the bug eyes, which is quite separate from his bizarre world view and policy prescriptions.
The capitalism that must be overthrown, to be clear, is not that of the City of London, which works through making money out of currency manipulation and debt instruments, and ancillary services, but that of small businesses and actual industrial-commercial firms. The real economy in other words.
This opposition to capitalism is popular among the City elite as that real thing is hopelessly déclassé these days. It’s a funny turn as it used to be that the City people, or the noveau city people, the actual trading floor people, back in the 80s-90s, were “noveau”, and came from mainly the petit-bourgeois or the working class. These were great backers of Thatcher. But fashions and people have changed, and these people are now mainly university-educated and see themselves as a cut above the masses. This is helped along by so many of them being immigrants or children of immigrants, mostly “Asian” of one sort or another.
The heart of capitalism is freedom.
Now do you see where the socialists are coming from?
The underlying assumption seems to be that the capitalism to whatever else will also decrease carbon dioxide emissions. Probably true given the extreme economic downturn that will accompany the fall of Capitalism.
I suspect he still won't be happy.
The only good Commie is a dead Commie. Pinochet had the correct idea.
On a somewhat serious note, many historians believe that the chief reason we were able to defeat the Nazis and Japanese in WWII, and save both England and Russia, was due to our industrial might (i.e., our capacity to build a ton of ships, planes and tanks.) We sent millions of tons of capitalist "stuff" over to Europe, along with our brave young fighting men to get the job done.
Didn't the famous Japanese Admiral say, after Pearl Harbor, "I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve."
So, it's not too hyperbolic to say that capitalism defeated Nazism.
George Moonbat may wanna read up on this.
Ah, the classic, prototypical moonbat! That takes me back to the good ol' days of blogging, 2000-2006 or so.
He's even cited in the Wiki article for the term: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moonbat

I'm not sure that's even debated much--American money & materiel and Russian bodies won it, no real dispute there.
He doesn't really have crazy eyes. He merely bugs his eyes out when exclaiming vigorously. Crazy eyes is a resting state. See Adam Lanza and Jared Lee Loughner for reference.
"We've got to go straight to the heart of capitalism and overthrow it."
Absolutely, because the world over, Socialist countries have demonstrated they are superior stewards of the environment. Russia and China are leaders...
China and the Russian Federation, Viet Nam, etc., are all very "capitalist" these days. It is their "robber baron" age.
The comments section of the video has a chart by Cathal Ó'hInnéirí
3h 3 hours ago which shows the impact of getting rid of fossil fuels - that is it shows progressively which nations use the most to the least fossil fuels and from looking at these 17 nations we can see what would happen to our standard of living if the Green New Deal were implemented. In Green New Deal we would go from present consumption to zero, meaning, in terms of standard of living, that we would go from what we have to a Somalian standard of living 17 years from now.
These nations in order are
US 16.5
Australia 15.4
Canada
Netherlands
Japan
Germany 8.9
China 7.5
United Kingdom
Spain
France
Sweden 4.5
Brazil 2.6
India 1.7
Uganda 0.1
Rwanda
Chad
Somalia 0.0
The guy's eyes do bug out when he is making his most ridiculous comments so I suppose he realizes how silly he is and is choking back laughter.
We owe a debt to gratitude to Professor Bugeyes for giving us Part 1 of two of what we need to do to save the planet. He has not yet completely figured out Part 2; but it will require the "subtraction" of between 2/3 to 3/4 of the human population As to those who will be assigned a minus sign, well that will be determined by an individual's actual or potential ability to engage in scientific reasoning.
Let Georgie boy live on the mean global income for a year. Then see if he thinks a 3% increase is extravagant.
The choice he presents, if thought through, is to dramatically drop the living standards of the developed nations or leave the undeveloped nations in abject poverty.
It's a LOT more than giving up airplanes or meat.
[Just like "taxing the rich" would not pay for the programs of the left.]
Marx popularized the term "capitalism" because he wanted to create a negative association. Why people who favor freedom allows those who would be our masters to define terms escapes me.
Free markets.
Free people.
Those are the proper names for the free exchange of goods whereby both parties gain from trade.
Marxism is slavery and control.
I think Somalia is indeed the goal. Why stop at Venezuela?
If we are gonna kill capitalism - Facebook, Google, Amazon, and Youtube first.
Thanks.

No, you can tell from the distortion in the edge of his glasses that he's very nearsighted. Probably a -6 diopter correction or more. A better picture of him showing the distortion:
https://preview.tinyurl.com/y4wlr6tq
Nearsighted people get that way because the eye elongates when it doesn't get enough dopamine. A recent review:
Prog Retin Eye Res. 2017 Nov;61:60-71.
Dopamine signaling and myopia development: What are the key challenges.
https://preview.tinyurl.com/yxc5dqst
You are absolutely correct that various and sundry crazy mass murderers (like Jared Lee Loughner) wear glasses with hyper myopia corrections.
Oxidative stress and inflammation in the brain (which is associated with various DSM diagnoses) reduces brain circulation...which impairs the eye getting enough dopamine generated in other parts of the brain.
Schizophr Res. 2009 Feb;107(2-3):238-41.
Refractive errors and schizophrenia.
BACKGROUND:
Refractive errors (myopia, hyperopia and amblyopia), like schizophrenia, have a strong genetic cause, and dopamine has been proposed as a potential mediator in their pathophysiology.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19019632
Now, this doesn't mean if you have a strong correction in your glasses you could be a mass murderer. But, then again, if you ARE very nearsighted, out of an abundance of caution the TSA might decide place you on their watch list. Then you would be screwed.
You might have to get a note from your doctor (renewed every three years) certifying that you're not crazy. But maybe you wouldn't need one if you travel with a certified therapy animal (or reptile).
There are all kinds of ways to beat the system.
Bay Area Guy, 10:14:
Good points - but I don't think Monbiot is willing to sacrifice capitalism to fight climate change; rather, he wants to get rid of capitalism anyway, and see climate change as a potentially effective justification. Without it, he'd find another.
"Didn't the famous Japanese Admiral say, after Pearl Harbor, 'I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.'"
I always thought so! Even remember a history professor quoting him thus in college. But it seems to have come from Tora, Tora, Tora. Here's "Respectfully Quoted: A Dictionary of Quotations":
"No evidence exists that these words were Yamamoto’s. However, in a letter to Ogata Taketora, dated January 9, 1942, Yamamoto wrote, "A military man can scarcely pride himself on having ‘smitten a sleeping enemy’; in fact, to have it pointed out is more a matter of shame.”—Hirosuki Asawa, The Reluctant Admiral, trans. John Bester, p. 285 (1979)."
https://www.bartleby.com/73/2069.html
But yes, Yamamoto understood us well, and had some excellent reservations about the attack he executed, having argued hard against it and lost.

"Socialist countries have demonstrated they are superior stewards of the environment."
I always think of that lake in Russia where you could, if you were so inclined, have picked up a lethal dose of radiation by standing at the edge for an hour. (They've dried it and filled it since then.)

He's ridiculous. The climate isn't having a breakdown; he is.
On the Crazy Ryes scale of Orange is the New Black to Alexandria Occasional-Cortex, Monbiot rates a Heaven’s Gate.
I have had severe myopia since at least the age of 6. -9 or so these days.
There is no question that I have it from my mother as she is also very myopic, to about the same degree.
I dont think my eyes have ever bugged out though. I have always had small eyes in relation to my head. None of my defects have shown up in our kids, thanks be to God. None are myopic.
I wouldnt mind having a therapy reptile, but my choice of creature might be a bit inconvenient. Depending on where we retire, perhaps, I may look into creating a crocodile-pit. Every municipality needs one after all.
Capitalism didn't defeat the Axis. The American people did - with help from Russian Communists, British Socialists, and non-capitalist Mao and Chiang Kai-shek.
The USA top tax rate during WW2 was 90%. Don't confuse industry with capitalism. Nobody in WW2 died to make the world safe for Wall Street.
When you're a socialist hammer, every problem looks like a capitalist nail.
With the failure of communism in the USSR and European Communist states, and China's capitulation to crony capitalism, it took Western leftists what, 8-10 years to turn Green, and decide that Capitalism was destroying the very Earth itself.
Perhaps hyperthyroidism causes you to be nuts.
Top tax rate was 90%, but oh, those deductions!
Britain also had a 90% tax rate in the 70s, no real deductions and movie stars stars fleeing.
Who else thinks Scott Adams is playing 4D chess while everyone else is playing checkers lately? A little while ago I was feeling infuriated by some of the things Adams was saying, but now I'm beginning to realize he's a pretty smart guy.
Monbiot, the original moonbat, well who's not one in the intellectual media circles,
that tommy 'the cork' Corcoran, invented after advising fdr on pushing those taxes.
"Socialist countries have demonstrated they are superior stewards of the environment."
This is why the Democrats focus on young voters who don’t remember what Eastern Europe was like when the wall came down. They burned coal contaminated with uranium. If the government fined them for some environmental trespass, they went to the government for the money to pay the fine.
"MadisonMan said...

When everyone starts burning wood to keep warm there won't be a tree left to absorb all the CO2 from the fires. The smoke will blot out the sun.
"This nitwit Brit blames capitalism. China’s carbon emissions are increasing drastically. China isn’t capitalist."
It's not?
No, China is fascist, which is but a short step from communist. Capitalism would require some degree of human freedom.
it's politics are more corporatist, it's economics are more capitalist, in the corrupted robber baron model,
Fascism and corporatism are the same thing. They are the fraternal twin of communism.
Communism and fascism hate each other so much not because they are so different, but because they are so much alike. It’s like “The Troubles” in Ireland, boy did they hate each other, but outsiders couldn’t tell them apart without a scorecard.
"The only good Commie is a dead Commie. Pinochet had the correct idea."
Why limit your praises to Pinochet? There are plenty of other murderous dictators you didn't mention.
"China and the Russian Federation, Viet Nam, etc., are all very 'capitalist' these days. It is their 'robber baron' age."
Ours, too. But then, it always has been for us, except for a few decades in the 20th Century.
yes provos were catholic, Marxist learning, orange loyalists were protestant leading in a tory like direction, similar with Christian and shia militias in Lebanon, like the phalange and the amal, who split to form Hezbollah, the red and green gangs in pre revolutionary china,
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (alias "Chiquita Khrushchev") protests: "Hey, guy, I OWN crazy eyes! Get your own disturbing trademark!"
still carrying a torch for Allende, cook, Pinochet advised but not dependent on the Chicago school, the last of which pinera, is the current president, tried to implement a model closest to havek to ring out the hyperinflation of the previous era,
The US version of highly regulated capitalism opens opportunities for people with talent who are willing to work hard -- and even people with modest levels of talent who are willing to work hard.

The entire New World Religion that wants to end capitalism depends on the false assumption that CO2 is a bad thing. That is exactly wrong. CO2 is a beneficial trace gas that fertilizes plants and has ZERO effect on warming the atmosphere. These cultists have driven the world insane with $200 billion in false propaganda over the past 30 years.

I once watched a documentary that was supposedly sympathetic to all of those “disappeared” and they spent a lot of time talking to their families. Oddly, the famililies of the disappeared were pretty much all Cuban communists, many of them still in Cuba, or working for the Cuban government trying to export their revolution. I. suppose it would have been better had the Cubans succeeded into turning the country into another prison like Cuba where exactly one family becomes fabulously rich and everybody else is scraping by for food.
Yeah, he's got the look.
AOC's gonna have a new squeeze, I bet.
"Capitalism didn't defeat the Axis. The American people did."
There was something called ,"Lend Lease".
You bet your ass capitalism defeated the axis. We out produced evrybody. I took Japan two years to build a capital aircraft carrier. It took the US six months, a month for a jeep carrier. 20% of Soviet airpalnes were made in America and nearly 100% of their trucks. We built and supplied amunition factories for Russia. Niether Japan or Germany could replace what was destroyed fast enough. We supplied both Britain and France with tanks. Ford didn't know shit about building airplans. He built the factory that built the B24. Chrysler built a factory that built M4s. Thousands of them. We fought two major wars thousands of miles fronm our boarders and the men and allies that fought them wanted for nothing.

in chile, Allende's son in law, was a Cuban intelligence officer, he let them honeycomb his fledging popular front regime, Roberto ampuero, writes of that time, in argentina, the guerillas were peronistas, on the far left wing, those were the montoneros, they followed a playbook that had failed in brazil, would fail in Uruguay, and later argentina,

Yeah, good thing that no one ever proposed eliminating it from the atmosphere, dummy.
But if cultists like you can't differentiate between the amount of something and the existence of something then I propose you put a bag over your head and find out how wonderful breathing pure CO2 might be for you.
Allende was arming up his leftist militias to seize full power. I always hate the old lie that the CIA overthrew Allende. Allende was tossed by the Chilean armed forces, who didn't need any help. The U.S. did tell Pinochet before hand that we wouldn't mind if he did.

CO2 doesn't "fertilize" plants. It's incorporated into their carbon cycle so that they can make the energy forms they and we use to undergo metabolism.
Anyone who refers to CO2 as a "fertilizer" is about as smart as someone who would call a potato a mineral.
they are that brazen:

> We supplied both Britain and France with tanks.
Also Russia, the first Soviet tanks into Berlin were Shermans. See also Soviet Shermans.
CO2 may not be a "fertilizer" but greenhouse owners have spied a way to get greater growth, kick the PPM to 1000. Eleventy!!!
CO2 doesn't "fertilize" plants. It's incorporated into their carbon cycle so that they can make the energy forms they and we use to undergo metabolism
Right, they breathe it in and make energy reserves out of it. So it’s more analogous to plant food, not “fertilizer,” only a moron would believe that one!
For socialism's care for the environment, see Bitterfeld entry in Wikipedia (or many new items from around 1990, when the disaster was revealed): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitterfeld
Yes but Ford built the Tri Motor in 1925, a pretty good aircraft for its time, but Henry bought Stout Co. to design and build it for him. Ford stopped making aircraft in 1936 but got the air corps to build him the largest mfg plant in the world at Willow Run MI to make Consolidated B-24's. Henry built Edsil a Bleriot type aircraft in 1909 but it went into a tree, I understand.
"You bet your ass capitalism defeated the axis."
NO. the American People defeated the Axis. The idea that some fat-cats on Wall Street "defeated Hitler" - is laughable. The people who stayed home and "Made money" didn't win WW2. Its average Joe's who went into the Armed Forces - 15 million of them. And average people who worked in shipyards and factories.
Capitalism didn't win a fucking thing in WW2. Engineers, scientists, Steelworkers, farmers, Coal-miners, and the Armed forces did.
You know who really defeated the Axis? American Lawyers. Hitler took one look at the that Killer legal brief written by FDR's attorney General and committed suicide.

"Understanding the effects of climate change is vital for food security. Among the most important environmental impacts of climate change is the direct effect of increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration ([CO2]) on crop yields, known as the CO2 fertilization effect."
That's from a Nature paper called "How much has the increase in atmospheric CO2 directly affected past soybean production?"
Sakurai et al (2014) conclude "The estimated average yields during 2002–2006 in the USA, Brazil, and China were 4.34%, 7.57%, and 5.10% larger, respectively, than the average yields estimated using the atmospheric [CO2] of 1980."

Thanks for posting it twice. Anyway, this idea of increasing global temps to improve agricultural yields is a fascinating one. I guess that's why the breadbaskets of the world exist in very hot places like Saudi Arabia, the Middle East, North Africa, the Sahara desert, Ethiopia, Southern Nevada, etc. Yeah, let's get our temperatures closer to theirs. Max out the CO2 - that should make up for it, especially once we flood out more arable land with encroaching coastlines. Republicans are real deep thinkers and problem solvers - that's why the fossil fuel lobbyists trust them to make independent decisions and totally don't need to buy off their campaigns for them to toe the anti-sustainability propaganda or anything.
Soybeans. Great crop for manly beta conservative cucks. Tofu, tempeh and lots of other GMO-patented phytoestrogens for you betas to grow out your breasts to.
"Food security" should definitely get greater priority over land security. More droughts in Syria will be a great way to push out millions more Mid-East refugees through the rest of the world. Conservatives love that shit, I hear. Go droughts! Go floods! Go away, coastlines!
Pretty cool how T-Rump says he needs a sea wall around his Scottish golf courses to combat climate change but pretends not to believe it when he wants to scare up the ever-dwindling number of American coal-mining votes.
That's probably because he's a liar of course. But you already knew that.
The British climate is near perfect. It would be a shame if it changed.
This is a joke, right, tcrosse? I mean, you weren't serious. Were you?
Monbiot's right, anyway. GDP is an arbitrary measure. Andrew Yang seems to have this stuff figured out. But Scott Adams has an MBA, which is a great degree for presidents like W. who nearly crashed the country into the next Great Depression. He envisions life as a cubicle-based exercise. When will fuckfaces like that stop being listened to? If his kind had the right answers for America then maybe we wouldn't be experiencing the third consecutive year of declining life expectancy. But he sure does read a lot into a freeze-frame. Impressive stuff. Eyeballs are bad apparently, which I guess is why the characters he drew didn't have any.
Back on planet Earth, normal people know you can't trust anyone who won't show you their eyes.
Since when do conservaturds care about defeating the Axis powers? The whole reason they gave us Ronnie Reagan and the four decades of American "carnage" (in the words of their leader, T-Rump) was out of resentment for not having an FDR of their own. And probably due to guilt for the way their asinine policies gave us 1929, a global depression, and the rise of the same European fascism that the Axis grew out of - but that's another story. They still can't believe that the laws of the universe can exist without petitioning a fossil fuel company's board of directors for permission, along with heavy input from that company's political lobbying wing.
"'There are plenty of other murderous dictators you didn't mention.'
"Because he is the only one who saved his country. All your heroes destroyed theirs."
Ah...no. I don't have any heroes who have served as heads of state, and certainly no one who committed mass murder, torture, etc. is a hero to me, but a villain. (That includes not just the usual foreign heads of state Americans always name check as world villains, but many of our own presidents.)
Odd there was a medieval warming at a time the population was a fraction of what it is today, there was a precipitous cooling that likely lead to the French revokution
Odd there was a medieval warming at a time the population was a fraction of what it is today...
If earth make warming then humans can't! Not possible for humans to affect environment! Not possible! Only geology can do this! Nature is supernatural! It can do anything! (Except respond predictably to all the carbon we've dumped into the atmosphere, apparently).
Republicans are a total logic fail on every conceivable level. A moral fail, too.
Cookie worships stalin and mao, between then they killed 100 million no surprise he would be jaundiced till America and the west, at the best hes like harold lasik whi wanted FDR to nationalize all industry.
Environmentalists are always ascetics, it seems.
I have had them rail against even wind turbines. They are not 'for' any kind of additional power. Instead, they prefer wind turbines (a kick in the shin) vs. Natural Gas (a kick in the nads) or nuclear (a kick in the throat).
But at the end of the day, these same enviro weenies will protest against turbines because 'migration', 'wetlands', 'aesthetics', whatever argument can be made to give people LESS energy (food...freedom).
This is a severe flaw in their character and more people should catch onto this.
Please note that this 'less is less' doesn't actually apply to them. THEY, haughty and sophisticated people that they are, can actually appreciate travel and seeing whales, butterflies, or swimming with dolphins.
It is when the icky proles who do it that cheapens the experience.
The one fault if the 1920s was that the western powers slashed their armies heck they were even naive enough to believe thet could outlaw by treaty Kellogg briand meanwhile the Soviet union hid and supplied the reuchswehr in their territory. Hoover did turn a minor downturn into a major depression. Far Madeira t worse
What was the big fault that underlay the last economic downturn, trying to artificially create a housing matter that was not sustainable
If you really get Pee Pee Tapes going, he will tell you about how Republicans are responsible for Stalin, not communism. It’s a hoot. In his world, Republicans are responsible for everything evil in the whole world, and communism has never been tried.
But if cultists like you can't differentiate between the amount of something and the existence of something then I propose you put a bag over your head and find out how wonderful breathing pure CO2 might be for you.
What you describe is a known cure for hyperventilating and Ritmo, you should give it a whirl once in a while. I say this with affection ;-)
I state two case studies the medieval warming that may have led to the black death and the bitter 18th and early 19rh winter which may have provoked revolution.
Hoover did turn a minor downturn into a major depression
Or FDR turned a recurring recession into a major depression through a progressive misalignment (e.g. debt, credit) in the system.
Ah...no. I don't have any heroes who have served as heads of state
Cook, you don't appear to have any heroes at all. You never have anything nice to say about anybody. It's impossible to get you to actually defend someone doing something. It's so much easier for you to be negative and attack. Especially when you are a loner with no skin in the game. No stake in the future. Nobody has yet gotten you to define who is a leftist. I think the fallacy that applies to your shtick is No True Scotsman.

I was intrigued by his use of "rewilding" - a new word for me today! I know that wilding was a term used to refer to youths rampaging at random, attacking people, usually in Central Park.
I started googling other possible terms - no luck: perhaps "miswilding" is attempting to rewild, but placing kangaroos in Wisconsin, or wild jackasses in Washington. Transwilding: the act of transitioning slowly by walking back global warming: expanding Central Park by a square mile per year until New York goes away (or to Florida).

It appears moderation has lapsed. This particular comment section has become infested by TICS.
I would expect the Moonbat to have crazy eyes.
"Back on planet Earth, normal people know you can't trust anyone who won't show you their eyes."
We can't trust blind people.
NO. the American People defeated the Axis. The idea that some fat-cats on Wall Street "defeated Hitler"
Capitalism is a process practiced by everyone. It isn't just the people that own the factories. Labor is a commodity.
