Do you ever get into debates about global warming? I do. And when I do, I find it useful to have all the studies I need available to counter the slogans of the secular left true believers. In this post, we will take a look at a recent study from 2024 published by the Fraser Institute in Canada. They’re using data from the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

Here is the link, from True North, my favorite source for Canadian news. (Bookmark them!)

Excerpt:

A Fraser Institute study found that although global temperatures have increased “moderately” since 1950, there is no evidence to suggest that extreme weather events are on the rise despite the assertions of climate activists and Canada’s government.

The study analyzed data found in the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (UN IPCC) and found that in many cases the frequency and severity of extreme weather events decreased or stayed the same rather than escalating.

The author of the study, Kenneth Green, a senior fellow at the Fraser Institute spoke to True North about his findings.

Green has a doctoral degree in Environmental Science and Engineering from UCLA, and has been studying environmental policy since before receiving his doctorate in 1984.

“When you dig into the actual underlying data on what’s happening, rather than the claims of politicians, you find that extreme weather events are pretty uncertain as to whether we’re seeing extreme weather changing or will see extreme weather changing,” said Green.

Put this link away for the next time that you get into a debate on global warming! I think you’ll have fun with it.

By the way, if you know any young Christians, remind them of the need to do well in their studies. It sure is nice to find someone who doesn’t swallow global warming propaganda, but who has a doctoral degree in Environmental Science and Engineering from UCLA. Make sure your kids or the kids at church aim high, because we can all use this kind of data.

I know that several left-wing countries have recently passed or are about to pass legislation that restricts free speech. Scotland, Ireland and Canada come to mind. All of those countries are led by secular-left fascists, so it’s not surprising. However, did you know that the secular left fascist who is leading Australia also wants to ban speech critical of his regime? Let’s take a look.

Consider this story from the radical left extremist UK Guardian, about a recent stabbing that occurred in a church in Australia:

Facebook’s parent company Meta and X/Twitter have been told to remove violent and distressing videos and imagery of the stabbing of a prominent Orthodox Christian leader in Sydney’s west on Monday evening.

The eSafety commissioner, Julie Inman Grant, told reporters on Tuesday that X and Meta had been issued with notices to remove material within 24 hours that depicted “gratuitous or offensive violence with a high degree of impact or detail”, with the companies facing potential fines if they fail to comply.

The notices relate to the alleged stabbing of Emmanuel at a service at the Assyrian Christ the Good Shepherd church in Wakeley just after 7pm on Monday. The service was being livestreamed and a recording of it has circulated online.

In Australia, the e-Safety commissioner, Julie Inman Grant is known as “eKaren”. According to her biographies online, eKaren has no earned degrees in STEM and no private sector work experience in STEM. She has nevertheless been thrust into a position of authority, leading the government’s online censorship efforts.

Now, you might be asking “I wonder what made eKaren choose this particular act of violence to be censored”. And the answer is obvious. The victim is a Christian, and the aggressor was, of course, a Muslim – a fact which the UK Guardian declined to mention for obvious reasons. The secular left does not want voters to see Christians as victims. And the secular left does not want voters to see unskilled Muslims immigrants as violent. That’s why eKaren was deployed to ban the video so that voters could not see it.

Far-left Reuters (also known as Al-Reuters) reports:

Australian police on Tuesday said a knife attack on an Assyrian church bishop and some followers in Sydney was a terrorist act motivated by suspected religious extremism, as the country reeled from a second stabbing incident in three days.

At least four people were wounded in the attack, including Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel of the Assyrian Christ The Good Shepherd Church, when a man lunged at him with a knife during a service live-streamed on Monday.

The Premier of Australia is an extreme secular leftist. He had nothing specific to say to condemn the attacker, or defend Christians. Why would he? Like most secular leftists, he is in favor of opening the border to criminals – to get more votes from people who want higher taxes and bigger government.

In response to these attempts at censorship, Australians began posting memes mocking the secular left Prime Minister, his airhead chief censor eKaren, and his entire fascist regime. If you’ve read about other secular left dictators in history, you can guess what happened next.

Reclaim the Net reports:

Australia’s Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese has endorsed social media censorship of satirical memes about him.

Albanese insinuated that social media platforms are duty-bound to suppress the so-called “misinformation” present on their sites.

[…]X has initiated a legal challenge against the Australian government following an unprecedented court order mandating global content censorship. This move comes after the Australian Federal Court ordered X to block worldwide access to posts showing a violent stabbing in a Sydney church, despite X already geo-blocking the content within Australia.

Musk has openly criticized the Australian government, accusing it of attempting to impose censorship on a global scale. He argues that such court orders set a dangerous precedent, allowing any country to exert control over the entire internet. This approach threatens the foundational principles of free speech and the open internet, undermining users’ rights to access information from around the world.

Here is an example meme:

A lot of people who vote for the secular left believe that their votes won’t harm basic human rights, like free speech. But they are mistaken. Secular leftists are champions of making big promises, failing to deliver on them, and then censoring any criticisms of their failure. Communist regimes killed over 100 million people in the 21st century alone. We need to be careful about not electing uneducated, inexperienced, incompetent people to government.

If you like to get into debates with secular leftists in the office, like I do, then you need a lot of STUDIES. Secular leftists are taught that conservatives and Christians have not done any work to form their views, whereas all the smartest people are secular leftists, because they are data-based. So, let’s take a look at a new study on political ideology, and see who produces better results?

This research seems to be some sort of collaboration between the moderate Institute for Family Studies, and the far-left Gallup polling company.

Here is the PDF of the publication.

And Fox News has an article about it:

Parenting styles and political beliefs can play a major role influencing teenagers’ mental health, new research from Gallup says.

A June 2023 study surveying 6,643 parents and 1,580 adolescents found that conservative and very conservative parents were the “most likely to adopt the parenting practices associated with adolescent mental health,” the research reported in the Institute for Family Studies found.

“Adolescents with very conservative parents are 16 to 17 percentage points more likely to be in good or excellent mental health compared to their peers with very liberal parents,” the report said. “Only 55% of adolescents of liberal parents reported good or excellent mental health compared to 77% of those with conservative or very conservative parents.”

Why would conservative parents produce such a huge beneficial result for their children? Well, I would guess it’s because conservative parents are more firm about having a vision for how their children are raised. They want their kids to do well in school, follow the law, and serve others. All things that will help them in the real free market world of serving customers. But conservative parents also reject “don’t judge” compassion and moral relativism. Whereas secular leftist parents take an “anything goes” approach to raising their kids, conservatives are more strict about truth, and moral values. Secular leftist parents hate the idea of punishment. They just want their kids to like them.

Conservative parents were more likely to adopt an “authoritative parenting style, characterized by both warmth and a high level of discipline,” Gallup economist and study author Jonathan Rothwell explained to Fox News Digital.

“Parents who set boundaries, establish routines, convey warmth and affection, and enforce rules effectively report a less contentious relationship with their adolescent child than parents who do not do these things, and this relationship is recognized by that child to be stronger and more loving. Each of the two factors related to parenting practices has a similar effect on the relationship as an index of adverse experiences, related to parental drug abuse, death, or abandonment,” he described in the report.

Liberal parents, however, scored lowest in the survey, primarily because they were least likely to report successfully disciplining their child.

Homes with conservative parents will typically be homes where there is a “Constitution” of the relationship. And I mean a recognized authority that governs how the relationship will proceed. And that authority compels each adult to deny themselves, and sacrifice their own interests, in order to serve others, and keep the relationship amicable and stable. Secular leftists don’t have that, because they are trying to claw happiness out of everyone and everything around them. Secular leftists have no rules, and no reason to sacrifice your own interests for anyone or anything else. It’s basically the Wild West. And in the Wild West, no one has an obligation to love anyone else when it doesn’t feel good to them to do the work.

Teens’ mental health outcomes were 8 percentage points lower when parents reported having difficulty disciplining their child.

“By contrast, conservative parents enjoy higher quality relationships with their children, characterized by fewer arguments, more warmth, and a stronger bond, according to both parent and child reporting,” the report said.

While 80% of very conservative parents said their child did not get their way in an argument, only 53% of liberal parents could say the same. The most conservative parents were also more likely to report showing affection to their children every day.

I would think that a lot of these secular left parents are really just secular left single moms. Either by premarital sex with the hot bad boys, or by frivolous divorce. Even secular leftist women with men in the home will prevent those men from “judging” and “punishing” the children. Women are just not as good as men (generally speaking) at disciplining children. Secular leftist women might think that they are strong, independent boss babes who don’t need no man, but the results show very different outcomes.
