Climategate

"Carbon (Dioxide) trading is now the fastest growing commodities market on earth.....And here’s the great thing about it. Unlike traditional commodities markets, which will eventually involve delivery to someone in physical form, the carbon (dioxide) market is based on lack of delivery of an invisible substance to no-one. Since the market revolves around creating carbon (dioxide) credits, or finding carbon (dioxide) reduction projects whose benefits can then be sold to those with a surplus of emissions, it is entirely intangible." (Telegraph)

This blog has been tracking the 'Global Warming Scam' for over ten years now. There are a very large number of articles being published in blogs and more in the MSM who are waking up to the fact the public refuse to be conned any more and are objecting to the 'green madness' of governments and the artificially high price of energy. This blog will now be concentrating on the major stories as we move to the pragmatic view of 'not if, but when' and how the situation is managed back to reality. To quote Professor Lindzen, "a lot of people are going to look pretty silly"

It doesn't matter what they say: This isn't climate change's fault

 American Thinker

The study did find that there was less physical activity during the coronavirus pandemic.  You think?  When experts and rulers shut down schools, closed playgrounds and fitness centers, and locked everyone in his house for nearly two straight years? .....

In light of all this, experts still have the nerve to tell us man-caused global warming/climate change is responsible for kids' declining physical (and mental) health?!

I am sick and damn tired of experts telling us that the COVID-1984 vaccines are safe and effective.  And mandatory.  I am sick and damn tired of being told that all white people are (inherently!) racist, that men can be women and vice versa, and that "abortion is health care."  Or "love."  And that I am a "domestic terrorist" simply for holding these views.

And I am sick and damn tired of being told that — in addition to floods, droughts, extreme heat, and extreme cold — man-caused climate change/global warming is demonstrably responsible for the coronavirus, Monkeypox, cedar apple rust, inflation, Russia invading Ukraine, the sudden rise in polio cases, distrust of our institutions, Jan. 6, supply chain issues, food shortages, Liz Cheney's defeat, falling spermatozoa levels in males in Western nations, Chinese aggression, stock market volatility, homelessness, painful rectal itch, loneliness, the opioid crisis, the decline in the popularity of Major League Baseball (MLB), Lyme disease, solar flares, and acid reflux.

Is climate change also to blame for Joy Behar, Jerry Nadler, MSNBC, the Impossible Whopper®, and Nicki Minaj?

And for...studies like this one?

Global warming is the greatest scientific fraud in history

 American Thinker

Until the advent of the anthropogenic global warming hypothesis, the Piltdown Man was the most remarkable scientific fraud in history.  The anthropogenic global warming hypothesis has now assumed that title."

Neil Oliver: 'It's hard to tell yourself you've been taken for a fool but open your eyes'

 Neil Oliver GB News Video

Neil Oliver: 'It's hard to tell yourself you've been taken for a fool but open your eyes'

From the comments -
"I hope this monologue escapes the censors and is available for future generations to look back to a time when people were unafraid to speak out against the unfolding tyranny"
 
"This is perhaps the best monologue Neil has done so far. Honestly baffles me how so many people in general still refuse to acknowledge even the possibility that something nefarious has gone on these last couple years by those we placed our trust in and refuse to open their eyes to it all."
 
"Niel Oliver, one of the few who tell the true story of what is going on in this the world. Thanks for your work. Support from the Netherlands"
 
"I'm 56 now. If someone had shown me the future back in '96 when life was so much better I think my blood would have run cold at the prospect of the life awaiting me. I still struggle to believe this is all actually happening."

Article: Back Off, Oh Masters of the Universe

 Jordan Peterson   (Video- A Must See)

Globalist utopians demand that we fall in line with their "cure" for climate change. Dr Jordan B Peterson explains why the goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2050 is absolutely preposterous."

From the comments: 

"I read this article this morning and found it to be incredibly powerful. Kudos to the Telegraph for publishing it. They've carried more than their fair share of eco-alarmist pieces too over recent years but credit where it's due. It's had 2751 comments at time of writing - the overwhelming majority of which are rightly praising it and recognising its importance. Neil Oliver's latest monologue on GB News (14th Aug) has had a similar reception. Very encouraging signs"

. "I literally am taken back, not by the overwhelmingly insightfulness of this man, but by his willingness to forgo his ego and his consequence to take on the likes of a monster far greater than any thing our own minds could conjure with his own time and his own words he lays down his self for the good of all mankind. When, in history have we ever seen such selflessness. Do not take lightly this act of selflessness. This is a moment in time to remember. I am in awe."

"Holy crap, the hair stood up on my arms listening to this man simply breaking down the world... People need to listen and listen carefully before having an opinion on something so precious and so delicate..... Thank u"

The Basic Math Problem that Undoes Global Warming Hysteria

 American Thinker

Members of the Biden administration have taken to saying we need the pain to get the gain.  I demonstrate for you now that it is not possible to produce enough vehicles in 12 years or in 25 years.  Therefore, this is definitely all pain and no gain.  By destroying the U.S. fossil fuel industry, it does seem they are determined to destroy the U.S. economy from within.

Therefore, why are they pushing this agenda and this ridiculous solution?  If you believe that the "man-made climate catastrophe" is around the corner, how will destroying the U.S. and the world economy help?  Simple answer is "it won't."  The U.S. is the most innovative nation in the history of the world.  If you take us out of the equation, serious problems cannot be solved.

For those who say the globalists have a plan, I can assure you based on this high-level math that they do not have a serious plan to address "man-made climate change" (if they really believe it).  It will probably take trillions of dollars injected into the world economy and thirty to forty years to replace all gas-powered vehicles with electric (assuming we can find the minerals and components to manufacture the batteries).

Without the magic wand referenced repeatedly by globalists, there is no way to produce enough electric vehicles to make a difference.  The real question then becomes, why are they pushing to convert to electric vehicles (it won't help in time) to solve an "existential problem"?  I think we have to "follow the money" to find out."

Climate Alarmism Descending upon the Lower Levels of Government

 American Thinker

Everyone knows about the disastrous Green New Deal that is being foisted upon us by our federal rulers in D.C. However, few New Yorkers realize that our state is way ahead of the game when it comes to destroying modern life as part of the climate change hoax. We have our own version of the GND known as the Climate Leadership and Communities Protection Act (CLCPA).

Since the Dems have held the legislature and governor’s seat, some of the most destructive programs and regulations have been imposed to stop the use of fossil fuels in our homes, cars and every facet of our lives without regard for the consequences.   ........The reality is that around 80% of New York City’s electric needs are still generated by fossil fuels. There is no way that this pork barrel smorgasbord will efficiently replace the city’s largest fossil fuel power plant and make it into a “renewable energy hub”. Coupled with the loss of Indian Point, Ravenswood could end up jeopardizing and destabilizing the city’s electric grid indefinitely, unless there is a dramatic change in the political power structure of New York state."

 

Now it's 'mega-floods' that will destroy the whole world

 American Thinker

This time, it is mega-floods in California replacing mega-droughts, and again they are supposedly caused by us and fossil fuels.  Not once do journalists give a damn that their previous dire predictions have been 100% false. 

To the compliant, complicit media, and other Democrats, floods, droughts, too much snow, too little snow, record cold, record warmth are all caused by us, instead of cyclical and natural.  The solution is always bigger government and more control of our lives.  It is arrogant and ignorant for anyone to pretend they can control temperatures, sea levels, and storm activities if we just hand over trillions of dollars and let bureaucrats and politicians control all aspects of our lives.

The Elite Panic of 2022

CJ 

What terrifies elites is the loss of their cultural monopoly in the face of a foretold political disaster. They fear diversity of any kind, with good cause: to the extent that the public enjoys a variety of choices in cultural products, elite control will be proportionately diluted.

Our cultural monolith, never popular, is today pounded by crosscurrents that undermine its solidity. Alongside the vast progressive choir, quieter voices—conservative, libertarian, religious, none-of-the-above—could soon arise, leaving our culture more fractured, more divided, and more representative of the nation as a whole. If that were to occur, sullen elites will point to 2022’s springtime of discontent, and remark, with typical vehemence, that their panic was fully justified."

 

Panic at the Top

 American Thinker

If the absurd raid on Mar-a-Largo has not persuaded you yet that the Deep State and their cohorts are terrified of their loss of political and cultural dominance, I urge you to read this thoughtful piece by former CIA analyst Martin Gurri. He traces how with the panic over the Wuhan virus, the elites managed a level of control over both the population and the information about the disease and how to treat it.

It’s a wonderful, thoughtful essay and a summary cannot do it full justice, but if you are afraid that we cannot get out of the elite chokehold on our culture and political life, it may give you some comfort. He is optimistic as few are that the elites are rightfully panicked that their cultural supremacy is in its last stages:  "

The Green War on Dutch Farmers Should Concern Everybody

 American Thinker

Although the Netherlands has a population of 17 million and is only slightly larger than the U.S. state of Maryland, it is the second-largest agricultural exporter in the world after the United States. Dutch farms produce enormous quantities of beef, pork, dairy products and many other agricultural goods that are sold all over Europe and the world. The Dutch can produce so much food in such a small country thanks to the application of technology to farming methods. Dutch farms are perhaps the most advanced in the world. Thanks to the latest technology, Dutch food is not only plentiful but also inexpensive, efficient, and clean without sacrificing quality.   ......

If anyone doubts these radical Green goals, look no farther than Sri Lanka. The country’s economy collapsed, resulting in food shortages and mass unemployment. A leading cause (though not the only one) of this meltdown was the radical Green policies of former president Gotabaya Rajapaksa. In April 2021, he banned the importation of chemical fertilizers used by 90% of the country's farms and forced farmers to revert to "organic" methods.

The effects were swift. One-third of Sri Lanka's farms went dormant, and 85% of farmers suffered crop losses. Rice production fell 20%, while its price rose 50%. Sri Lanka was forced to import rice from a market in which it had previously been self-sufficient. Tea production, a cash crop for Sri Lanka, fell 18%. Inflation skyrocketed, food became scarce, and many small farmers were ruined."

Democrats continue to wage war against the oil industry in the name of ‘climate emergency’

 American Thinker

As soon as Biden took office, he actively worked to destroy the fossil fuel industry by asking all the federal agencies to focus on climate change through the lens of Democrat policy, despite lacking empirical evidence that it was an “emergency.”   .....Additionally, the Democrats push for massive use of rare Earth minerals to produce batteries for all the “electric” technology. They don’t care if the cost of acquisition is rampant pollution and human rights abuses, it’s all a means to an end. From a piece published in the Harvard International Review:     ...Biden, Mayor Pete, and the others tell people that the way to protect against high fuel prices is to simply go purchase an excessively priced, inefficient, and impractical electric car powered by highly-flammable pollutant, Lithium."

This is what finally puts an end to Australia

 American Thinker

There is an ominous buzz in the new Australian Parliament — Albo and the Greens are planning to pass 40 new bills, quick smart.

Each bill will probably need 100 new regulations and 200 new inspectors, auditors, and enforcers plus many new taxes and fees.  They will not deliver "Net Zero" — they are "Net Negative."  They will divert labor and capital from productive activities to bureaucracies and green energy speculators.   ....Probably the worst bill in Green-Albo's legislative avalanche is "The Climate Change Bill."  This dreadful piece of legislation gives the government the ability to "ratchet up" green targets without new parliamentary approval but makes it difficult for future governments to ratchet back these targets.  This will clutter rural Australia with imported solar panels and windmills and destroy forests and grasslands with spider-webs of roads and transmission lines.  It will make blackouts more likely and destroy any heavy industry we have left.  Filling our cities with electric cars will stress the electricity grid and add greatly to urban fire risks.  And in 15 years (or after every cyclone), we will have an enormous problem trying to dispose of the worn out, non-degradable wind and solar generator debris."
