“Environmentalists”

Every once in a while, you will see somebody commit a “Kinsley gaffe.” This is Named after Michael Kinsley, who rose to fame as a writer for The New Republic and as a TV commentator.

Protest groups like Just Stop Oil and Palestine Action should be proscribed in a similar way to terror organisations, a government-commissioned report will say.

John Woodcock, a crossbench peer and former Labour MP known as Lord Walney, is recommending that the government creates “extreme protests restriction orders”.

His report, which makes 40 recommendations, is set to be finalised and sent to No 10 as soon as Monday.

It’s safe to say that the gods of politics have not been favoring European green parties during this campaign period. Not only is the Greens group expected to lose the most seats in the European Parliament after the election, but member parties around Europe have been caught up in some of the most embarrassing scandals as well, from sexual harassment to Russian spying.

The latest episode is currently unfolding in Austria, where a comprehensive investigation undertaken by the local daily Der Standard shed light on the Greens’ number one EU candidate, Lena Schilling, and her problematic relationship with the truth. While the party tries to downplay the allegations to soften the blow of the growing scandal, the police and court documents, confidential chats, as well as dozens of interviews with the victims of Schilling’s intentionally harmful lies tell a different story.

Saudi authorities have permitted the use of lethal force to clear land for a futuristic desert city being built by dozens of Western companies, an ex-intelligence officer has told the BBC.

Col Rabih Alenezi says he was ordered to evict villagers from a tribe in the Gulf state to make way for The Line, part of the Neom eco-project.

One of them was subsequently shot and killed for protesting against eviction.

Fueling the surge of violence from the Neo-Nazi Left.

Last December, the Biden White house welcomed leaders of the Climate Defiance group, including co-founder Michael Greenberg, for consultations with Biden’s clean energy czar John Podesta. On April 18, Climate Defiance disrupted a Washington event for Sen. Lisa Murkowski, accused of being an “ecocidal pyromaniac.” Climate Defense now aims to “shut down” the annual congressional baseball game at Nationals Park on June 9. While that awaits, legislators might dial it back to June 14, 2017.

There was a physical confrontation when climate change protesters stormed the stage at a gala honoring Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska.

Murkowski was giving a speech at the Bryce Harlow Foundation’s awards ceremony on Thursday in Washington, D.C.

BREAKING: We just shut down a gala honoring U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski. Murkowski is a murderer. She incinerates us to enrich her cronies. As Chevron's top lobbyist gave her an award, we stepped in and stopped the ceremony. Respect us or expect us. 🧵 pic.twitter.com/Q72mHerpdg

Open contempt for average people and attempts at influencing the election. That’s what was on display during NBC’s Today 3rd Hour last Friday when the co-anchors sat down with far-left climate alarmist Al Gore. They huffed about how “the average person just doesn’t get it” when it came to the so-called climate crisis. They also urged him to speak about how crucial the upcoming presidential election was for battling climate change.

What is it about the left and its obsession with excrement?

Leftists fling poop at political rallies. They employ blue-city poop patrols to clean up their poop-strewn streets. They create poop map apps. They’ve praised communist China for its “night soil” fertilization practices to grow crops.

World-renowned primatologist and climate activist Jane Goodall says carbon pricing schemes like the one Canada has deployed aren’t a silver bullet to solve the pressing threat of climate change.

Speaking to CBC News during the Ottawa stop of her cross-country tour of Canada this week, Goodall said the jury’s out on whether levying a consumer price on emissions will meaningfully improve the climate picture over the long term.

Goodall, who just turned 90, said a carbon tax can seem punitive to consumers — making a measure to fight climate change seem like a costly chore.

In Verein KlimaSeniorinnen Schweiz and Others v Switzerland – a case brought against the Swiss state by a group of elderly Swiss women – the ECHR has ruled that the Swiss government failed to implement ‘sufficient measures’ to combat climate change. According to the court’s judgement, there have been ‘critical gaps in the process of putting in place the relevant domestic regulatory framework, including a failure by the Swiss authorities to quantify, through a carbon budget or otherwise, national greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions limitations’. The ECHR has decided that Switzerland’s supposedly inadequate attempts to tackle climate change violate Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which guarantees the ‘right to respect for private and family life’.

The green ideology is the enemy of working people.

It was like a case study in indifference. There was privileged Gen Zer Greta Thunberg and other Euro eco-brats smiling and flicking peace signs as they called on the Dutch government to stop subsidising fossil-fuel companies. Meanwhile, the Dutch people, very few of whom are the offspring of opera singers with the ear of the world media, are suffering one of the largest spikes in energy prices in all of Europe. Their bills are through the roof. They’re reeling from the ‘pain of high energy costs’, as some in the media describe it. And yet in sweeps giggling Greta and her barmy eco-army to agitate for less government backing for energy production, which would likely hike the price even more.

Taylor Swift once called global warming a “horrific situation.” But it was apparently not horrific enough to stop her from flying her private jet during her recent “Eras” tour.
