The Enviros Continue to Wage War
Timothy Birdnow
If you thought the green agenda was dead you would be horribly wrong.
The Gang Green is taking an operational pause to consolidate their gains and will resume the campaign as soon as Trump is gone.
They are quietly moving forward now, but they are still moving forward.
From the Wattsupwiththat article:
Last weekend, as wildfires continued to scorch parts of southern Europe, Frank Elderson of the European Central Bank’s Executive Board took to the pages of the Guardian to warn that the "climate and nature crises” now pose a direct threat to "core financial stability” and even "core price stability”. The destruction of ecosystem services, he insisted, is not some "flower-power, tree-hugging exercise” but "core economics”. The ECB, he added, is already deepening its scrutiny of banks’ exposures to nature-related risks, with further analysis due later this year.
This is the same institution that, only 10 days earlier, quietly expanded its "climate factor” in the "Eurosystem collateral framework” to cover non-financial corporate loans. From the end of 2027 at the earliest, loans to companies deemed exposed to "transition shocks” from climate change will face an additional haircut of up to 5%. The July decision and Elderson’s August rhetoric are of a piece: the ECB continues to weaponise climate (and now nature) policy even as the empirical, political and market ground shifts decisively under the alarmist camp.
Like Satan the Left wears many diguises and eco-friendly is one of them. But beneath the green there is red.
And they will now ride this hot European summer like a pony at a school picnic.

The Pope and King Harold
Timothy Birdnow
For all you history nerds out there.
Harold Godwinson is probably my favorite historical figure of all time. A man of extraordinary ability and of good character, he had acted as regent for King Edward the Confessor, who died without an heir. Harold was far and away the best choice to rule England. But there were overseas competitors who were related who wanted to job - Harold Hardrada Sigurdsons of Norway and the king of Demnark as well as Prince William of Normandy. The king of Denmark dropped out of the contest early on, but Harold Hardrada and William were both determined to become king of England and they BOTH invaded within days of each-other! Norway's Harold in the north of England first, and Godwinson had to reform his militia and marc two hundred miles north to face the old Viking. After defeating the fierce Norsemen word came to King Harold that the Normans were invading in the south. So his men marched another 200 miles in just days, with no rest, after making a 200 mile trek north and fighting a major battle, to face William and his invaders at Hastings.
And King Harold almost won. He had the Normans (actually a coalition of troops from all over Europe who came to fight for William with the promise of land in England) pinned down on the beach. In desperation William ordered the archers to shoot up into the air to get around the English shields. One arrow struck King Harold in the eye, went into his brain. But he kept fighting, although he grew weaker and weaker and eventually expired. A sad end for so able and dedicated a man.
With King Harold gone the fight went out of the English and eventually they fell for the very same trick King Harold used on Harold Hardrada - they fainted a retreat and then slaughtered the pursuing English.
The Normans won and took over the whole of the land and changed England forever. A new language was created, a pidgin composed of Old English and French and Latin and a smattering of other languages (thanks to the international coalition William had put together).
At any rate this research paper suggests King Harold backed the wrong man for Pope and so the Pope (Alexander II) backed Prince William in his bid to conquer England. It's why William was able to recruit so many lesser nobles all over the Continent to his cause; it was blessed by the Holy Father in Rome.
Read my rather lengthy but entertaining blogpost on Hastings here.

A Very Strange Genocide
Timothy Birdnow
I've been arguing with Jew haters on Facebook and they keep insisting Israel is engaged in "genocide". So I did a little research.
Here are stats on population growth in Palestine. It's an odd genocide indeed where the targeted population actually grows:
The current population of Palestine is 5,563,879 people, as of 2026 based on the adjusted UN estimation. The latest officially reported number was 5,413,596 in 2025.
Palestine accounts for 0.07% of the world's population.For the last 20 years, Palestine has had an average growth rate of 3.17% per year.Since 2006, population has increased from 3.41M people to 5.56M (63.3% growth in 20 years).Palestine is projected to reach 11.2M people in 2100.
If the Jews are trying to exterminate the Palestinians they sure are doing a piss-poor job of it.

Ukraine Strikes Deep Inside Russia
Timothy Birdnow
The Ukrainians have just taken the war with Russia to a new level, sending attack drones deep into Russia.
At some point Putin is going to get mad and when he does he's going to stop playing according to the rules of normal warfare.
FTA:
Ukraine's military has conducted a rare, mass casualty attack deep into central Russia. Long-range drones reached Tatarstan, which lies some 1,200km (or about 750 miles) east of the Ukrainian border.
The strikes killed 13 people and wounded at least 75 in what's widely being called one of the most deadly single attacks launched on Russian territory by Ukraine throughout the war.
"According to the latest information, 13 people have been killed and 75 wounded as a result of the drone attack," on the city of Nizhnekamsk, the Tatarstan region's press service indicated Monday.
Nizhnekamsk is an important oil refining hub, and also has a major petrochemical plant, and there have been reports of thick smoke rising above an oil facility near the city. NBC notes that "Ukraine’s General Staff said its forces struck a Taneco oil refinery in Nizhnekamsk, starting a fire."

Hillary: Calling them Communists will Hurt
Tmothy Birdnow
Yesterday I caught a Democrat strategist on one of the cable news shows and he was sayig how calling the DSA people "Communists" was bad and how it was going to cost the Republicans. Yes, we all know how much Democratic strategists worry about Republican political success.
When Hillary Clinton's instincts are right you know the Dems have a serious problem.
America fought a fifty some-odd year war against Marxism. While many young people may believe the Cold War was a fight over Greenland there are still a lot of people who remember it.
From the Zerohedge article:
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told Kara Swisher on the "Pivot" podcast that Republicans are deploying what she called a "very effective" anti-communist attack against the Democratic Party's rising class of far-left candidates, who are increasingly defeating establishment Democrats in primary races.
Clinton told Swisher that Abdul El-Sayed's narrow victory in Michigan's Democratic Senate primary is a wake-up call for the party. She said El-Sayed must unite the party by winning over supporters of moderate Rep. Haley Stevens and reassuring independent voters ahead of his general election contest against Republican Mike Rogers.
"The real fight will be, how do we make sure that people who voted for Haley feel comfortable voting for Abdul El-Sayed, and how do we get independents to feel comfortable," Clinton said.
"It's not just about Michigan, but the Republican messaging is 'communist, socialist.' It's going to be a very effective attack," she warned, adding, "People on the left have to be prepared to answer that and be effective in answering that."
The Clintons, of course, represented the moderate wing of the Democrats and what propelled Bill Clinton to electoral victory was his policy of "triangulation" which was essentially to stake out a position to the right of most Democrats but to the Left of the Republicans. This coupled with his boyish charm and apparent normalcy won the public over (well, sort of; he never won with more than a plurality and wouldn't have won at all had Ross Perot stayed out of the race.) The Clintons were always willing to drop the radical pose to achieve radical ends. Hillary was in fact quite radical (much more so than her husband who mostly was in it for the tail). But even she had the sense (and Hillary always had a political tin-ear) to avoid appearing to be a radical.
Now the Democrats are proudly, defiantly radical and think the American People will elect them. They believe they've already won and no longer have to hide who they really are.
Nancy Pelosi started all this. I remember when she ran for the leadership in the Democrats; she said she wanted to boldly show the "progressive" colors. She did and she started the party moving to the Left, and this is the inevitable result. Now she seems downright conservative next to the lunatic fringe that has become the mainstream of the Democratic Party.
At any rate calling these people out, showing them for what they are, is crucial to winning. "Resist the Devil and he will flee from you" as the Bible says. ""He will destroy them with the sword of His mouth and the brightness of His coming" as the Bible also says, and that means words are weapons and so is light. Satan triumphs in darkness. We have to have the courage to shine light and speak the truth.
We need to remind everyone of the countless murders by Marxists over the last hundred years. Read from The Little Black Book of Communism. Read from The Gulag Archipelago. Remind everybody of just how bad it was. Point to Cuba and Nicaragua and Venezuela now. Then ask if America wants that for our nation.

Israel Rejects BOP Peace Deal
Timothy Birdnow
Israel has rejecte the peace deal put forward by Trump's "Board of Peace" since it would leave Hamas with their weapons but require Israel to withdraw from Gaza.
I don't blame him; it's just another deal that is dependent on Hamas following through when they have no intention of doing so.
This is the same old saw we've seen repeatedly - a deal where Israel gives up land for the promise of peace.

Traitors in the Mist
Timothy Birdnow
None dare call it treason.
Well, Natalie Winters does anyway.
NATALIE WINTERS: If there’s ever been a proper time to use the words "traitor” and "treason,” this is it.
Nearly two dozen former generals and military leaders established a secret back channel with a PRC spy front to help China better understand U.S. military plans.

The Bread of Death
Timothy Birdnow
Remember what I said about how three American cities had the abortion drug in their drinking water?
Wewll...
This is too difficult to excerpt money quotes so I am just going to leave it up to you, o wise and noble readers, to read the piece for yourself.
One thing I do know is the Western elites have been terrified of overpopulation for decades now and they have been systematically moving a program forward to reduce fertility in every way.

The Sinking Ship of Climate Change
I suspect the Gang Green will only bail harder.
Timothy Birdnow
Coastal cities are sinking, the oceans are not rising.
How much of the "sea level rise" is actually cities sinking from pumping water and oil out of the ground? Anybody?
And what of erosion?
And yet prices remain sky high for beachfront property. Go figure.
How many pieces of the giant Jenga puzzle need to be removed before the science establishment admits climate change alarmism is all wet?

CO2 from Permafrost Going Into Sea Bed Floor
Timothy Birdnow
Well, whattya know? Carbon released by permafrost in the Arctic is going down into the ocean and being absorbed into the sea floor.
The author calls this "ancient" but the reality is the Arctic is no warmer now than at any other warming period in the past and this is not "ancient" carbon trapped form millions of years as they try to suggest.
But the point is most of it is being reabsorbed by the land.
FTA:
By studying sediment cores, the team found that large amounts of carbon from land are preserved in the seafloor. They also discovered that marine microorganisms behave like selective eaters, favoring fresh carbon from the ocean over older carbon released from permafrost. The findings were published in Nature Geoscience.
So microorganisms don't want the stale stuff and let it return to the Earth from which it came.
This research only looked at one island - hardly a statistically significant sampling.
But it suggests that what the Climate Change people have been peddling is twaddle; the sea floor picks up most of the excess carbon, as it always has.
We've had numerous warming periods that are warmer than now and we've not had a problem with spiking CO2, except later (as much as eight hundred years).
Once again nature shows herself to be several steps ahead of the climatologists, who think models represent reality.

Steaming Pile of Vote Fraud
Timothy Birdnow
And the beat goes on...
I think it safe to say that 2020 was lousy with fraud and that Joe Biden probably lost the election.
From Western Journalism:
A hacker managed to steal 633,000 voter registration files in the swing state of Arizona before the 2020 election, newly declassified documents from the White House allege.
Yet, despite the massive breach, both local and federal prosecutors declined to bring charges against the man under President Joe Biden’s administration, according to Just the News.
I suppose the hacker just wanted to test the system; nothing to see here!

Mass-hole Dem. Gov. Violates the Constitution with ICE Ban
Timothy Birdnow
This is blatantly illegal. The Supremacy Clause trumps state law.
FTA:
Massachusetts Democratic Gov. Maura Healey signed a new law on Aug. 5 attempting to block U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement from accessing a variety of locations across the state.
Healey described the law, which names schools, daycares, hospitals, health centers, nursing homes, and courthouses as places ICE cannot access, as the strongest legislation in the country against ICE.
The official claimed that children in Chelsea, where she signed the legislation, have not been attending school for fear of ICE encounters, per a report from CBS News.
ICE are federal agents enforcing federal law and they can go where they please and the state can't stop them.
And boo-flippin'-hoo about illegal alien children being afraid to attend school. They have no business attending taxpayer-funded schools.
But of course they aren't the ones who are afraid; their parents are. The parents are afraid of being arrested dropping their brats off or picking them up. Don't break the law and you have nothing to fear.
I am mindful of Romans 13: 1-7
Every person is to be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. 2 Thereforewhoever resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves. 3 For rulers are not a cause of fear for [d]good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same; 4 for it is a servant of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a servant of God, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil. 5 Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of wrath, but also for the sake of conscience. 6 For because of this you also pay taxes, for rulers are servants of God, devoting themselves to this very thing. 7 Pay to all what is due them: tax to whom tax is due; custom to whom custom; [e]respect to whom respect; honor to whom honor.
So why the fear? Because these people did not do things the correct way but rather jumped the line. And most of those are criminals wanted for other crimes anyway; ICE has made it quite clear they are prioritizing people wanted for other crimes and usually with standing deportation orders.
In other words, most are EVILDOERS and for that the authorities have a duty to remove them.
It is, as the passage points out, what we pay taxes for.
At any rate the Constitution says the following:
Article VI, Clause 2:
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.
ICE is enforcing the laws of the United States. It cannot be any clearer.
Eventually this will make it to Federal court and it will be overturned, if the Mass. Supreme Court doesn't do so first.

Scientists are finally starting to figure it out; there is no way to make democracy work.
That is why the Founding Fathers of America didn't even try to make a democracy but rather a representative republic with serious checks and balances on both the government itself and the power of the people to manipulate said government.
FTA:
Denmark’s 2022 national election came down to a single seat, even though its proportional voting system was designed to make party representation closely match the vote. That outcome points to a deeper mathematical problem: no electoral system can always preserve local winners, guarantee proportional national results, and keep parliament at a fixed size.
Researchers from the University of Cambridge and the University of Copenhagen reached that conclusion after analyzing proportional and first-past-the-post systems. Their work shows that every method of electing a national legislature requires compromises, most often among regional representation, proportionality, and the number of parliamentary seats.
Well duh. It mirrors life, and it is impossible to create a truly just and equitable system in life. The will-o-the-wisp that Liberals have pursued for two hundred years now is a truly fair and equal society and it just is not mathematically possible.
The best we can do is make rules and stick to them.
Of course politics is now about so much money and so much power over people's lives that the parties - particularly those on the Left, where they are not constrained by a moral or religious code - will do anything to win, and if that means subverting the rules set in place so be it. They see them as suggestions made by tired old white men anyway.
With so many trying to subvert the rules is it any wonder politics is such dirty business?
The article continues:
The investigation began after Denmark’s 2022 national election, when votes and seats failed to align for the first time in 75 years. Like many European democracies, Denmark uses a two-tier proportional system. Voters first choose local representatives, after which ‘leveling’ seats are distributed to bring each party’s share of parliament closer to its national vote share.
That mechanism becomes harder to maintain as more political parties compete. Greater fragmentation requires a larger number of ‘leveling’ seats to preserve proportionality, and the 40 available in Denmark’s 2022 election were no longer sufficient.
"Essentially, it almost broke the system,” said study co-author Dr Frederik Ravn Klausen, from Cambridge’s Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics. "The end result was that the Social Democrats got one seat more than their votes corresponded to. Of course that is nothing by UK standards, but in a two-tier system, that isn’t meant to happen. It increased the drama that this single seat decided the election.”
Klausen and co-author Sebastian Tim Holdum of the University of Copenhagen used the election as the starting point for an impossibility theorem. Their result explains why growing party fragmentation is placing established voting systems under pressure and changing real democratic outcomes.
This is the reason why the United States only has two major parties; the parties act as the coalitions and it is the internal politics that play out prior to the elections that determine how things are going to go. Multiple parties as in most parliamentary systems mean more fights and trying to make it fair with proportional voting (and we see this in some of our states now as well) leads instead to more cheating and less fair outcomes as minority winners can still wind up in power.
As readers here know, the U.S. only elected the House of Representatives at first - the President was elected by the College of Electors and the Senators by state legislatures (and of course the Judiciary was appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate). We created the bicameral legislature for just this reason, to offer "proportionality" by limiting the mob rule of pure democracy. The College of Electors helped avoid the problem of multiple candidates splitting the vote and the House of Representatives being forced to choose a President. Actually, that was how the Founding Fathers thought it would work; they wanted the House to choose the President. But it's never happened in American history because we early on developed the two party system which pretty much guaranteed only two viable candidates. Yes, there have been three or more parties, especially in the early 19th century (like the Whigs or the No-Nothings) but they never lasted. They never lasted because of this very reason.
At any rate this study should be jumped on by Conservatives to bash the ranked choice systems implemented by Democrats to give them power even when they are the minority. And RINO Republicans - Lisa Murkowski is in office solely because of ranked choice.
BTW the Democrats are STILL complaining about the Electoral College and how they won the popular vote but lost the election in 2016 and 2000. But that is a result of this very principle and it is why we have an electoral college in the first place. Without it we would have had pure chaos and the vote fraud would have been far worse (it was bad anyway).
So for all you Democrats who call us "science deniers" because we disagree with what you insist is "settled science" and wouldn't take the clot shot I ask you to defend the system you've been demanding in place of the one we have. Science shows you are wrong. Are you man enough to admit that the science proves you wrong?
Didn't think so.
But then you mighty Philosophe's and Men of Science can't even define what a man is anyway.

Pushing the Populace to Violence From our friend from across the pond, Daniel Jupp:
In Thetford in Norfolk there has been three days of protest that has turned violent. People were objecting to an old RAF base being used to house 1,250 asylum seekers.The media and politicians are in a frenzy condemning the protestors. They say they are ‘targeting families’.What they don’t tell you is that the nearest village to the RAF base has 850 residents.They were planning to swamp these innocent people with third world migrants.What they don’t link the ‘disgusting violence’ to is the fact that at least 250,000 white children were brutally gang raped and tortured over 40 years.Or that for 80 years people have been peacefully protesting against mass immigration while being ignored.Or that I’d bet my life that the residents in Thetford tried every legal avenue of complaint and dissent imaginable while being ignored.There is a very simple way of ending all migrant child rapes and all migrant terrorism and all native protest, peaceful or not so peaceful.Don’t import third world populations. Don’t swamp villages with migrants. Don’t expect people to pay taxes to shelter asylum seekers that endanger the taxpayers children.End all asylum.You know, as people have been asking you to do, asking with incredible law abiding peacefulness, for decades.It’s actually revolting that the people who, by prioritising migrants and ignoring child rape and terrorism, created the violence, then think they are in a moral position to condemn it.
A note from Tim:
What is coming is a time like that of Ireland with "the Troubles" where citizens begin fighting a guerilla war against both the aliens and the government. The IRA and especially the Provisional IRA led the British on a merry chase for decades and they can train the English and Welch and Scots in how to fight back. It is a dreadful prospect but their government is forcing them to it. They don't have any other options I fear. Britain is going to become a blood-soaked archipelago.

One thing you have to say about the Iranians, they sure do have chutzpah.
Here are their demands:
A top Iranian national security official delivered a sweeping set of demands on Saturday that he said the United States must meet before the Strait of Hormuz can reopen to maritime traffic, throwing the fate of the critical trade waterway into question.
Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, the secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, issued a statement carried by state media laying out multiple requirements for reopening the strait. He called for the United States to lift its naval blockade and sanctions on Iran, withdraw the U.S. military from around Iran, pay war reparations and release frozen Iranian assets, as well as end attacks on Iran’s allies in the region and threats against the country.
Trump needs to end this game of whack-a-mole and start seriously, aggressively destroying their infrastructure.
I just don't see where Mr. Trump is going with this but it has all the appearance of a quagmire. Even if he has a sound strategy it's not evident.
The problem with America in any war is that the public demands progress. In times past the media would be on-board with any war we were fighting but no more, so it's up to the President to show us the progress; he can't count on the media to do it. Without that the public will quickly sour on the whole affair. As with the Tet Offensive in Vietnam you can win the battles but lose the war if you lose the public.
Trump is losing the public, and this could be what drags down his whole Presidency. He needs a big win.
In 1863 President Abraham Lincoln had dreadful poll numbers and was expected to lose in the upcoming year. He was running against his former general George McClelaen, who wanted to sue for peace with the Confederacy and let them go. But then Robert E. Lee made the biggest blunder of his career, trying to go toe-to-toe with the Union Army under George Mead, a general willing to fight, and he did it with the Union Army encamped up on the high ground surrounding the valley of Gettysburg. Instead of turning and flanking the Union, and moving off towards D.C. and a better piece of ground for them Lee insisted on making a full frontal assault on the heights - and the Union army cut them to ribbons. The pasting the Confederates too at Gettysburg was so bad that when Lee prompted the man who led the charge - Gen. George Pickett - to "look to his division" the thunderstruck Pickett replied "General, I have no division". The Union had wiped out the man's entire command.
Buoyed by this victory and the now inevitability of a Union victory Lincoln sailed on to easily defeat McClellan. As Douglas McArthur would say almost a century later "there is no substitute for victory".
Limited warfare rarely achieves victory. It's like the prevent defense in football; you give up way too much ground as you are playing defense.
That appears to be Trump's strategy. It may even be sound in that every day this blockage continues is another day towards total insolvency for the Islamic Republic, but it does not take into account the real need to keep the American People on board. Lose the upcoming election and the Democrats will defund the war effort, and probably pass a War Powers resolution. (At least if they do that we will finally get an answer as to the Constitutionality of said Act.)
Anyway Trump needs to get his orange buttocks into gear.

This Politico article looks at the declining birthrate in the West and finds every imaginable cause except the obvious - the elites in the West actively, purposely encouraged a population decline.
There was the Club of Rome study "Limits to Growth" and Paul Ehrlich's book "The Population Bomb" and the eites on both sides of the pond (and even both hemispheres of the globe) started an active program to reduce fertility. Then when it worked it's "gooooollllyy" in their best Gomer Pyle voice.
Ehrlich, for instance, prophecied that by the year 2000 we would be in Road Warrior conditions, with civilization in complete collapse.
All manner of tools were used to discourage population growth, from public education to inflation to the sexual revolution and the increasing crowding out of Christianity from public life. They broke the family and so many young people grew up with the pain of the loss of family and those children fear doing that to their own kids (my best friend was from a broken home and he resolved not to ever have children out of fear of doing that to his own children.) The sexual revolution went a long way to restricting fertility - why buy the cow when the milk is free? And especially why have children if you aren't married, and why get married if you get the benefits without the commitment? The rise of homosexuality and other "alternate" lifestyles too helped reduce fertility. (I remember reading an essay by the atheist s-f writer Isaac Asimov from back in the fifties or sixties -can't remember when exactly - calling for the mainstreaming of homosexuality as a tool to control population.) Inflation has made having children more difficult as it means everything costs more and to provide a decent life for your family you need a LOT more money, and to get that you have to have child care while you work yourself into an early grave. So the children get deferred and sacrificed altogether.
This was no confluence of unfortunate incidents. It was a carefully planned strategy by the people who run our Western civilization.
The Catholic Church used to oppose birth control and the dirty little secret is they still do. But they are quiet about it these days out of fear of being thought of as killjoys. For that matter they let young couples shack up and do not admonish them, even going so far as to let them do counseling and other such tasts for the Church, up to and including being Eucharistic Ministers.
And let us not forget feminism. The Women's Movement turned male/female relationships into battle grounds, and the women have largely won. What does that entail? It means the men lose all their testosterone and either become asexualized eunuch-like boyfriends or stop being involved with women on an emotional level at all. Oh, they'll have sex with women, but as long as it's a one and done proposition.
I find it quite interesting to note that men's testosterone levels have been falling like a stone for decades now. This is often blamed on weight and inactivity and bad diet, but one wonders if it isn't an evolutionary response to the masculinization of women? Or is it preservatives or other chemicals used in food these days? Certainly if a young boy is told being male makes him a dirtbag and he's going to be punished his whole life for that there would be an evolutionary reason to see a reduction in testosterone. Remember that some critters like certain frogs can change sex when their population gets too far out of balance (remember Jurassic Park?) and in biology there is a thing called neoteny, which is where unexpressed genes reassert themselves from environmental conditions. That is epigenetics. Now the boy isn't becoming a girl but he's becoming perhaps more girly and less masculine as being a man's man is not conducive to his overall well-being these days. The women, by comparison, are walking around and acting like men and we see this with our own eyes; women are now larger, stronger, and more aggressive than they had been in bygone days. In other words they are more like men. With all that competition around the genome probably thinks it needs to feminize.
Which is exactly why we are seeing more trans people these days. Oh, part of it is the relaxation of public opinion against it, but I rather suspect it's a coefficient of the feminism that has swept the West. Young boys are not just getting more girly, some of them are outright believing they ARE girls.
This dovetails nicely with the population control movement. Get men having sex with boys who look like girls so they cannot procreate. Men who wouldn't have sex with other men might be willing to have sex with men who look like women, and thus you accomplish what Asimov suggested more easily.
I would like to point out they have been pushing trans stuff for decades and few realized it. Remember "Some Like it Hot"? How about Dog Day Afternoon where Al Pacino is having a romantic relationship with a tranny? Our cultural elites have been pushing this for a long, long time. Is it any wonder we see it growing now?
Men and women are made by God to be complementary. Feminism has made them competitors. You don't have children with your enemy.
Climate Change alarmism and the other pieces of catastrophism promoted by the media is cited in the article and it certainly has it's blame in all this too. How many doomsday prophecies have we witnessed over the years? Author Michael Crichton wrote a whole book on the matter - State of Fear. As he rightly pointed out the public is kept in a constant state of fear to empower the rulers and keep the public too busy with fantom fears to actually stop them from pushing their agenda.
So in conclusion we can talk about fatter people and young people who are too lazy to marry and have children, but it all goes back to a culture that has pushed them in that direction, and that culture was guided by the Club of Rome and other very wealthy Leftists (now the World Economic Forum) and what they sought worked beautifully. We are now facing a catastrophe' as we can't pay for our pyramid-scheme programs, and their answer is to bring in people from the Third World who never got the no children memo.
Our elites have led us to the suicide pit. And we're jumping right in!
BTW they are still hard at work in pushing for a drastic reduction in the world's population.

Planned Parenthood has outdone themselves with this one; they are calling abortion "gender affirming care".
I remember George Carlin going on about euphemistic phrases years ago. Read what he had to say about them here.
James Joyce says it best:
"Goatish creatures with human faces, horny-browed, lightly bearded and grey as india-rubber. The malice of evil glittered in their hard eyes, as they moved hither and thither, trailing their long tails behind them. . . . Soft language issued from their spittleless lips as they swished in slow circles round and round the field, winding hither and thither through the weeds, dragging their long tails amid the rattling canisters. They moved in slow circles, circling closer and closer to enclose, to enclose, soft language issuing from their lips, their long swishing tails besmeared with stale shite, thrusting upwards their terrific faces . . .."(James Joyce, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, 1916)
The uglier a thing is the more it needs a coat of colorful paint to hide it.
