Jet-setting to COP a climate feel is the poster-boygirlmanthing of the globalist elite. We are so concerned about emissions we’re emitting tons of them, so you don’t have to – by which they mean you can’t. Their luxury is about saving the planet for themselves.
In other words, they are proglodytes are hypocrites. Modern-day Pharisees. Holy men draped in finery, pontificating about the needs of the poor while making more of them.
Planeteers, advertising how self-aware they are, continue to show up at protests bedecked in Vinyard Vines and NorthFace, wearing Apple Watches with iPhones, Beats headphones, and the keys to mommies Bimmer. Even the street class of climate zealots tends toward tax brackets above the middle class, evidenced by how the landscape looks when their protest is over. There is garbage everywhere because, at home, they pay someone else to clean up.
It has been our habit to insist that every new restriction, limitation, or demand from austerity begin with them. If every holy man should come to us barefoot and in rags, then so too shall yours. Bugs for dinner? You first. Net-Zero community? You first. Fifteen Minute cities, only EV transportation, no meat every day, right down the list to composting human remains.
It’s actually not as uncommon as you think. “Human composting is legal in Washington, Colorado, Oregon, Vermont, California, New York, and Nevada.” Delware’s legislature just passed a law to join the club.
The Delaware legislature has approved legislation that would allow residents to compost dead bodies instead of traditional burial in a casket or cremation.
Composting reduces the dead to soil using natural processes. As opposed to preservation using formaldehyde or cremation that releases carbon dioxide and mercury into the air, composting “uses large vessels to hold human remains together with straw, wood chips, or other natural materials for about 30 days,” the legislation explains.
The legislation now goes to the desk of Gov. John Carney, a Democrat, after the Delaware Senate’s 14-7 vote Thursday and the state House’s 37-2 approval in January. …
As with any idea burped out of the gut of the cult, this one is likely based on assumptions that turn out to be false. Composting does solve some problems with land management (fewer cemeteries) as well as what to do with the little people, but does it reduce “emissions.” The science, believe it or not, is not settled.
Composting can divert organic waste from landfills, reduce landfill methane emissions, and recycle nutrients back to soils. However, the composting process is also a source of greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions. Researchers, regulators, and policy decision-makers all rely on emissions estimates to develop local emissions inventories and weigh competing waste diversion options, yet reported emission factors are difficult to interpret and highly variable. This review explores the impacts of waste characteristics, pretreatment processes, and composting conditions on CO2, CH4, N2O, NH3, and VOC emissions by critically reviewing and analyzing 388 emission factors from 46 studies. The values reported to date suggest that CH4 is the single largest contributor to 100-year global warming potential (GWP100) for yard waste composting, comprising approximately 80% of the total GWP100. For nitrogen-rich wastes including manure, mixed municipal organic waste, and wastewater treatment sludge, N2O is the largest contributor to GWP100, accounting for half to as much as 90% of the total GWP100.
Not that any of that matters. Composting human remains, like the rest of the Cults manifold cures, isn’t about the things they claim. Legalized human composting is a waste management decision. Democrat rule leads to death. If we pretend that their incompetence can result in some good by abandoning tens of thousands of years of outdated notions about body, soul, and meaning, then game on. Your daughter may have been raped by an illegal immigrant gang member who is still alive and free. By composting her, we can renew the earth we’ve ceded to foreign invaders.
Sorry, I couldn’t help myself.
To avoid going long, you first? If cancer claims King Charles, a strong supporter of the Climate Cult dogma, think of all the emissions yo could reduce by just turning him with woodchips and straw for thirty days until he’s reduced to dirt. Everyone at the UN or the WEF or those who have attended a climate conference or spent any amount of time on a planning commission should have to sign up first.
No grave markers, no urns, and no placard unless they are responsibly sourced, fair trade, biodegradable signs attached to the tree your remains have fertilized.
In other words, you first.
