The workshop is hosted by a partnership between the University of Virginia and a group of local leaders (Community Advisory Committee), including André Elliott, Executive Director of the YMCA, Karen Downing, minister and Virginia Organizing Board member, and Cora Baird, Director of UVA’s Anheuser-Busch Coastal Research Center. Funded by the National Science Foundation’s new Coastlines and People program (CoPe), the workshop will kick off a multi-year initiative to support the Shore community in creating an equitable climate future. For more information about the CoPe Hub, its partners, and funders please visit: https://eri.virginia.edu/coastal-futures-hub.
At the workshop opening you’ll be able to enjoy food while meeting community and University members of the project. There will be activities for the whole family. Following this, you’ll visit a series of different interactive stations where you’ll both learn more about current and future climate challenges on the Shore and share your ideas of what would be helpful to support the Shore through these changes.
If you’re able to attend, we will send you more information about the workshop in advance.
We are excited to be working in partnership with your community, and we hope you will join us in creating ways to improve the Shore’s climate equity.
We thank you for your time and consideration and we hope to see you at the workshop!
Does anyone out there have a clue as to what on earth “climate equity” might in fact be, because if you don’t know what it is, how on earth can you achieve it?
And in fact, the term itself is quite stupid where “equity” is defined as “the quality of being fair and impartial.”
So, we’re going to make the climate be fair and impartial?
To whom?
Some answers would be of great assistance here, given that in the history of the earth, the climate has never been fair and impartial, and in fact, at times has been and will continue to be quite hostile.
So how does this “climate equity” crowd intend to deal with that aspect of nature?
Put chains on it and flog it like Xerxes did after the sea, which was hardly fair and impartial when it destroyed his bridge of boats, which enraged Xerxes, himself big on climate equity, who ordered his soldiers to punish the sea for disobedience so that by order of the king, the sea was whipped 300 times and pierced with red-hot iron to obey Xerxes.
That taught it a lesson, alright, and maybe this climate equity crowd could incorporate something like that into their program with people out there flogging the bejaysus out of the climate with Harley-Davidson primary chains or bull whips when it don’t treat them fairly by raining on the day they wanted to have a parade, instead.
Well said–what a bunch of airheads!
SCENARIO:
A high ridge runs east to west.
Person “A,” who is as black as the ace of spades, lives on the north side of the ridge and as a consequence never gets any sunlight to speak of, and always gets a lot of snow and ice and just plain miserable climatic conditions.
Person “B,” who is whiter than library paste, lives on the south side of the ridge, and as a consequence, has sunlight and nice balmy weather all the time.
DISCUSSION:
Here we have a real live text-book case of climate inequity staring us right in the face where the black man gets a lousy climate because he is black while the white man takes the best climate for himself.
CHALLENGE:
How to give the black man the climate equity he is entitled to.
SOLUTION:
This is an easy one, and no you don’t take the white man’s house and give it to the black man, as some would suggest or demand.
You LEVEL the ridge!
Take it down and fill some potholes with it, or something.
By making everything level, so nobody lives on higher or lower ground, that is how you create climate equity.
Now, if only they can figure out how to give us up north the same climate people down south have, with it being grossly unfair that they can walk around in flip-flops and shorts all year while we have to bundle like Eskimos, we’ll have some climate equity too, and life will be good!
Here
And while we are on this ridiculous subject of “climate equity,” which can never be achieved in reality, it being nothing more than a green “pipe dream,” as if the greenies can manufacture a one-size-fits-all climate, where like the old Ford Model T’s, which only came in black, there is only one choice, no alternative climates for those who don’t like the climate the greenies are forcing on them in the name of “climate equity,” which has to do away with “climate diversity,” let’s step back and look at the subject in a historical context, to wit:
HISTORY OF WARREN COUNTY WITH ILLUSTRATIONS AND BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES OF SOME OF ITS PROMINENT MEN AND PIONEERS
EDITED BY H. P. SMITH
1885
CHAPTER XXV. HISTORY OF THE PATENT AND TOWN OF QUEENSBURY.
CHAPTER XXVI.
HISTORY OF THE TOWN OF LUZERNE
The “cold season of 1816” affected Luzerne badly.
Rye and corn went up that summer to two dollars a bushels and pork to fifty dollars a barrel.
There was a great amount of suffering.
Grinding used to be done at the mills without undergoing the usual process of separating the bran from the kernel.
Many people became so destitute that they would come to the mills from miles away and sweep the beams for flour dust with which to make their bread.
Even then many families went for a month without bread.
end quotes
So I wonder how the greenies who want “climate equity” would deal with that reality, which was really, really unfair to those people affected.
And that is but one small example from history of “climate inequity” because truth be told, nature does not really give a damn about people, who are arrogant enough to believe they actually control nature, and it cares even less about “climate equity.”
Will that stop the greenies from trying to control it at any cost to obtain this precious “climate equity” they are seeking as their HOLY GRAIL?
I doubt it, but stay tuned and maybe they will surprise us by bringing Tahiti weather to upstate New York in the midst of winter so we don’t have to freeze our ***** off and shovel snow, but can lounge by the pool instead without having to chop through the ice just to take a dip.
