Being, as the saying has it, a little under the weather over the weekend suggested to me, in the torpor that comes with that state, the idea of looking at that other weather, the real stuff. And what a fun time it was to dip into the meteorological sites just as a check on how much closer our part of this great planet is to the edge of global warming doom.
Green-Scam
John Kerry Emitted 302 Tons of CO2 to Save the Planet
In his last year in office, Secretary of State John Kerry was touting the fact that he had traveled over 1.06 million miles and spent some 96 days in the air in the course of 3 years. The archived State Department site tallies Kerry’s total record at 1,417,576 miles and 126 days in the air.
Kerry spent more time flying in 3 years than the average American would in 50 years.
Global Warming Alarmists Keep Letting Their Masks Slip, Reveal Their True Motivations
Give the green shirts long enough and they will reveal their true intentions. This happened most recently when a Massachusetts official said “we have to break” the will of the average person to cut greenhouse gas emissions. It’s another in a long line of admissions made by the climatistas – thank you, Steven Hayward, for adding that descriptive term to our lexicon – that inadvertently exposes their authoritarian urges.
Laid Off Keystone Worker: My Daughter Was Supposed to Go to College, Now It’s Unaffordable
The devastating consequences of President Joe Biden’s executive order canceling the Keystone XL pipeline through an executive order continue to roll in.
In Fouke, Arkansas, unemployed workers are wondering where their next paycheck will come from and how they’ll afford for their children to go to college.
Tell her to apply for one of those “good green jobs.”
Canadians should reject Trudeau-style carbon taxes
According to a recent poll by a group called Canadians for Clean Prosperity, the Conservative Party should reconsider its opposition to carbon taxes.
There is, indeed, a strong textbook case to be made for taxes on conventional pollution and carbon emissions — that if factories dirty the environment by emitting smoke, factory owners should pay taxes to compensate society for the pollution. In theory, we can apply the same idea to carbon emissions, which contribute to climate change.
Trudeau pledges billions in permanent funding for public transit
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced plans today for the federal government to spend an additional $14.9 billion over the next eight years on public transportation projects across the country.
The funding includes $5.9 billion in short-term funding that will be disbursed on a project-by-project basis, starting this year.
The rest is to go toward the creation of a permanent transit fund of $3 billion per year starting in 2026. Money from that fund will be earmarked following consultations with provinces, territories, municipalities and Indigenous communities.
Patrick Moore: De-bunking climate and other varieties of alarmism
The Great Barrier Reef is alive and well: Go and see it for yourself.
The first part of that is true. The second part is tongue-in-cheek, as very few of us will be diving on the Great Barrier Reef anytime soon. Besides, it is beneath the surface and considerably larger than Texas so you would need to be in the water every day for a very long time to verify its alleged demise. As it turns out, virtually all the doomsday narratives promoted by today’s alarmists fit this pattern.
Kerry doesn’t follow his own rules because he doesn’t believe climate rhetoric
Last week, a 2019 video clip resurfaced showing climate envoy John Kerry’s attempt to reconcile his beliefs about climate change with his practice of flying around the world in private jets.
Asked whether his carbon-spewing private aircraft is an “environmental way to travel,” Kerry responded thus: “It’s the only choice for somebody like me who is traveling the world to win this battle.”
Science Betrayed: The propaganda infecting K–12 science curricula, especially on the environment, won’t go away.
It is a sad irony that the teaching of science in American schools is so unscientific. In a more rational world, children would learn about nature and a mode of inquiry—the scientific method—that would awaken them to the awe, fascination, and surprise that the universe should inspire. Instead, the chronic problems afflicting K–12 education and the growing politicization of science have pushed us ever further from that ideal.
Shutting down Keystone XL shows Biden’s preference for symbolism over substance on environmental policy.
Biden’s Empty Environmentalism
For at least the past two decades, the American environmentalist movement has been split into two camps. On one side, less conspicuous, are the conservationists—dedicated to working with public and private actors to keep our air and water clean, preserve America’s natural beauty, and advance common-sense solutions to pressing issues like climate change. On the louder and more flamboyant side are the progressive activists, who prioritize heated rhetoric, symbolic measures, and political purity tests over practical solutions.
Symbolism over substance? Boy does that sound familiar.
John Kerry Accepted Environmental Award In Iceland After Arriving In Private Jet
“I understand that you came here with a private jet. Is that an environmental way to travel?” Grímsson asked Kerry, Fox News reported. Kerry explained it as a necessity for “somebody like me” and touted his career-long efforts in fighting climate change, citing the Paris Climate Accord as an example, which Biden re-entered the U.S. into through an executive order on Jan. 20.
“If you offset your carbon — it’s the only choice for somebody like me who is traveling the world to win this battle,” Kerry told Grímsson
Who will tell the greens there is no Battery Fairy?
For the longest while I have been asking, “Where do environmentalists and Democrats think all these batteries for our oil-free transportation fleet are going to come from?” It seems they think there is a Battery Fairy out there somewhere who will magically supply the ginormous battery capacity, and additional supply of electricity to charge them, in order to deliver us to our blessed fossil-fuel-free future.
Delingpole: Davos Is a Madrassa for Global Eco-Fascist Tyranny
To get a better idea of the fundamentally fascistic nature of the World Economic Forum – plotting global domination online all this week – check out this video from one of its young acolytes.
Alexei Levene runs a company called Desolenator and like all Great Resetters just knows that the transition to the Fourth Industrial Revolution must be accelerated immediately. The main problem is that pesky thing called ‘democracy’.
When (if ever) will wind turbines become carbon-neutral?
THE public were told that wind turbines would ‘save the planet’, or at least the UK’s minuscule 1.13 per cent proportion of it. What they were not told was that huge emissions would be created by the manufacture, shipping, haulage, site preparation and erection of wind turbines.
Report: ‘Climate Czar‘ John Kerry Still Owns Private Jet
Climate Envoy John Kerry reportedly still owns a private jet through a family company, even as he prepares to impose new restrictions on Americans’ use of fossil fuels, according to a report by Fox News on Wednesday evening.
How does an idiot hypocrite like this get in charge of anything?
