Whisky Tango Foxtrot are these "educated" kids thinking?
Woke students at prestigious college reportedly complain that automatic soap dispensers are racist
If you still don't believe that the lunatics are running the asylum, get a load of an op-edFirst of all, let me just debunk the basis of this claim: for anyone who doesn't know, the sensors on soap dispensers don't see human hands; they don't have eyes. They work using a simple device called a PIR sensor that recognizes infrared light, which is emitted by all people, regardless of color (as long as they're not dead). Also, I don't know about you, but those darn things never work for me. I can't remember how many times I've banged on one to try to get soap out (yet it never occurred to me to blame anti-Semitism as the cause).In his op-ed, Israel dismantled the growing notion that "systemic racism and white supremacy is all around us, and in everyone, and everything, a person encounters" and even more that it's "a secret forceHe added that it's increasingly difficult to engage with those who cling to wild conspiracy theories related to what they view as systemic racism since they've "become so entrenched in their far-fetched beliefs that they consider all opposition to be inherently evil (many of the pro-systemic racism students claimed all opponents to their ideas were simply racist themselves)."
But I digress. The point here isn't how a soap dispenser works. It's the idea that students at UCLA actually thought that they were designed with white supremacy in mind.
This, and other claims like it, were not unique perspectives shared by one lone student, but rather a world-view that was reiterated and supported by the over 80 students who attended, or more accurately zoom-bombed, the debate.
But one way you can combat the problem for now, Israel wrote, is to "confidently defy their claims publicly to prevent more unknowing people from falling into their grip."

If these dispensers use a reflective sensor they do have trouble detecting darker skin. Not necessarily racist but bad design.Comment

Ex-Obama Admin Scientist Slams Biden's 'Climate Crisis' Narrative: Data 'Doesn't Support That Kind of Hysteria'
Fox News on Thursday.
speechclimate changefact sheet from the White HouseSince ALL living plants use CO2 to live, is this going to affect the plant life on the planet? What will that do to our FOOD supply? Tofu comes from soy beans... So doing away with CO2 will reduce the Soy plants, therefore doing away with plant based FAKE MEAT products.Comment

Re: Let the truth be known
This bitch is just plain loony! If you can't use statistics or facts what kind of conversation can we have... surely not one based on EMOTIONS/FEELINGS!
Where does she pull these numbers from EXCEPT for Statistics/Studies. She contradicts herslef everytime she opens her HUGE PIE HOLE!

Thanks for this Phil. It pretty much explains why we need to invest in sustainable energy. It must have really hurt to post some facts. Nice job. We all appreciate it.Comment

With multiple mansions ... regular flights on private jets.... vacations all over the world, this fool has GOT to have one of the largest carbon footprints in the USA! "Do as I SAY.. not as I DO!"
What do plants/trees use for food Johnnie? OH YEAH CO2!
sayingUCAR Center for Science EducationsaidHuffpost in 2019. The research compared different types of carbon removal in order to determine whether they were beneficial. Jacobson found that replacing coal or gas plants with renewable energy plants is a better option than attempting to remove carbon dioxide from the air.
In both cases, electricity to run the capture technology came from natural gas. He calculated the net CO2 reduction and total cost of the carbon capture process in each case, accounting for the electricity needed to run the carbon capture equipment, the combustion and upstream emissions resulting from that electricity, and, in the case of the coal plant, its upstream emissions. (Upstream emissions are emissions, including from leaks and combustion, from mining and transporting a fuel such as coal or natural gas.)President Joe Biden announced
Once Jacobson calculated all the emissions associated with these plants that could contribute to global warming, he converted them to the equivalent amount of carbon dioxide in order to compare his data with the standard estimate. He found that in both cases the equipment captured the equivalent of only 10-11% of the emissions they produced, averaged over 20 years.
