Two of my good friends have children who are asthmatic. In fact, one of them nearly lost her daughter, who had a dreadful asthmatic attack due to inhaling post-wildfire particulates.  The child would have died without her inhaler. However, green justice warriors have decided that the luxury of being able to breathe pales in comparison to saving the planet from minuscule amounts of greenhouse gases.

Legal Insurrection readers will recall I covered a book entitled "The Polar Bear Catastrophe that Never Happened" by Dr. Susan Crockford. The University of Victoria professor analyzes the latest data and reviews the questionable values used in official estimates, concluding that polar bears are actually thriving. She has been fired from her position at the university.
After 15 years as an adjunct assistant professor, Ms. Crockford said the University of Victoria rejected without explanation in May her renewal application, despite her high profile as a speaker and author stemming from her widely cited research on polar bears and dog domestication.

Friday, I covered the story of angry Londoners who pulled environmental activists who caused significant delays during the morning commute off the roof of a train in the city's underground system. Across the English Channel, hundreds of tractor-driving Dutch farmers poured into the town of De Bilt to protest government moves to rein in carbon and nitrogen emissions based on "climate change" policies.

Sen. Ted Cruz joined MSNBC's Chris Hayes at the Texas Tribune Festival on a stage sponsored by NBC. Hayes is as true a progressive as they come. That said, I've never found him off-putting for the sheer reason that he is always willing to engage in mostly civil debate, a rarity these days.

The way to not get people to your side is disrupting their daily routine, especially in an already traffic-congested place like Washington, DC. The #ShutDownDC rally caused even more traffic jams in DC, including holding up emergency vehicles like ambulances and fire trucks. Some videos show people throwing glitter and confetti because we all know they do not practice what they preach.
