U.N. SAYS: BUILD WITH BAMBOO!
Powerline ^ | 14 sep 2023 | John Hinderaker

Has there ever been a time in world history when so much stupidity has been generated by a patently false ideology? Well, sure, socialism. But climate hysteria is making a run for it on the outside, now closing rapidly with socialism.

The latest is the United Nations telling us to completely revamp how we construct buildings. Actually, its message is to stop building at all. So as to achieve “net zero,” i.e., civilizational collapse.

There is much at the link, and no doubt much more in the report itself. For now, I just want to note this:

The solution also requires, in its implementation, sensitivity to local cultures and climates, including the common perception of concrete and steel as modern materials of choice.

“Until recently, most buildings were constructed using locally sourced earth, stone, timber, and bamboo. Yet modern materials such as concrete and steel often give only the illusion of durability, usually ending up in landfills and contributing to the growing climate crisis,” said Sheila Aggarwal-Khan, Director of UNEP’s Industry and Economy Division.

“Net zero in the building and construction sector is achievable by 2050, as long as governments put in place the right policy, incentives and regulation to bring a shift the industry action,” she added.

Until recently, buildings were made from locally sourced earth, stone, timber, and bamboo. Right. “Recently” being the 19th century. Next time we build a skyscraper, let’s make it out of bamboo!

Good.

Tear down the Babylonian United Nations building TOMORROW.

Rebuild it in Pockeestan with 15 stories of bamboo. Put all Globalists and World Economic Forum in that building immediately.

Give them permanent apartments immediately.

I think I know why space aliens don’t contact us- they think the stupidity is contagious.

Environmental considerations or not, bamboo is a great material for certain uses, such as floors.

It is NOT stupidity! Geez I wish people would quit calling it that. It’s an agenda and it appears to be succeeding.

Okay... would you be more comfortable with me calling it fulminant psychopathic mental illness?

Or, how about calling it what it is... demonic?

There’s actually some old water lines to houses in town that were made with bamboo. Pretty sure they’ve all been replaced, but you never know.

They won’t be though. Neither will they be eating bugs or living without air conditioning. That’s for you and me, not them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Anyone who has been to the downtown of endless cities in China or any number of other countries in the east, probably has seen the scaffolds ringed around the high rise buildings going up... it would certainly give me pause for thought stepping out on a bamboo scaffold on the 70th floor but that’s the way they do it.
