CLIMATE HOAX: Biden’s EPA Has Paid Out $1 Billion Into Climate Grants This Year

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

It’s all one giant scam. The climate grift is the greatest political fraud in history.

Back in 1971, the great American political theorist, Ayn Rand, wrote in her book. “The Return of the Primitive” , “It has been reported in the press many times that the issue of ‘pollution’ is to be the next big crusade of the New Left activists, after the war in Vietnam peters out. And just as peace was not their goal or motive in that crusade, so clean air is not their goal or motive in this one.”

Boom.

Biden’s EPA Has Paid Out $1 Billion Into Climate Grants This Year

By Liz Sheld, American Greatness, March 2, 2023

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced over $250 million in grants are available to fund plans for projects combating “climate pollution” on Wednesday, pushing the total number of climate grants announced this year to nearly $1 billion.

The funds include $3 million for every state, $1 million for each of the 67 most populated metropolitan areas and a total of $25 million to be distributed among Native American tribes, according to the EPA press release. The grants are among the first in President Joe Biden’s new $5 billion Climate Pollution Reduction Grants (CPRG) program, which was created by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).

In total, the IRA allocated nearly $370 billion to fighting climate change. The act also includes, among other things, $80 million in additional funding for the Internal Revenue Service, $2o billion in incentives for farmers to not grow crops and $2.2 billion in reparations for black farmers.

“We know that tackling the climate crisis demands a sense of urgency to protect people and the planet,” said EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan in a statement. “President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act is a historic opportunity to provide communities across the country with the resources they need to protect people from harmful climate pollution and improve our economy. These Climate Pollution Reduction Grants are an important first step to equip communities with the resources to create innovative strategies that reduce climate emissions and drive benefits across the country.”

Reuters Science Correspondent: “I was wrong” on Climate

/in , , , , , , /by

Neil Winton worked at Reuters for 32 years, including as global science and technology correspondent.

Winton recently admitted he “was wrong” for going along and not putting in the journalistic effort to question the media’s prevailing climate narrative.

Marc Morano posted details at CFACT’s Climate Depot.

Winton said:

When I became Reuters global Science and Technology Correspondent in the mid-1990s, the global warming story was top of my agenda. Already by then the BBC was scaring us saying we would all die unless humankind mended its selfish ways. Carbon dioxide (CO2) was the culprit and had to be tamed, then eliminated. I had no reason to think this wasn’t established fact. I was wrong.

My Reuters credentials meant that I had easy access to the world’s finest climate scientists. To my amazement, none of these would say categorically that the link between CO2 and global warming, now known as climate change, was a proven scientific fact. Some said human production of CO2 was a probable cause, others that it might make some contribution; some said CO2 had no role at all. Everybody agreed that the climate had warmed over the last 10,000 years as the ice age retreated, but most weren’t really sure why.

The sun’s radiation, which changes over time, was a favoured culprit.

My reporting reflected the wide range of views, with Reuters typical “on the one hand this, on the other, that” style. But even then, the mainstream media seem to have run out of the energy required, and often lazily went along with the BBC’s faulty, opinionated thesis. It was too much trouble to make the point that the BBC’s conclusion was challenged by many impressive scientists.

Winton went on to make an essential point about the threat Green radicalism poses to freedom that has been essential to CFACT’s mission since our founding:

The Left had lost all of the economic arguments by the 1990s, and its activists eagerly grabbed the chance to say free markets and small government couldn’t save us from climate change; only government intervention could do that.

Thank you Neil Winton for this important peek inside the world of media groupthink and your insight as to how Reuters, and so many others, lost the plot on climate.

At the dawn of the 20th century, the humorist Finley Peter Dunne wrote about newspapers that “comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.”

No one has grown more fat and comfortable, and no one more deserving of a little journalistic affliction, than those accumulating vast power and fortunes by cashing in on climate.  Just ask Reuters.

Reporters, do your job.  Ask the tough questions and fully vet the climate narrative and the myriad conflicts that flow from it.

The public deserves to know.

The Incredible ‘Green Transition’ That Can’t

/in , , , , , , , , , , /by

Joe Biden campaigned on getting rid of fossil fuels. He said he would ban fracking and his Green New Deal proposal would completely replace fossil fuels with clean energy by 2035.   He is also on record saying he plans “an incredible transition” of the U.S. economy away from fossil fuels, openly admitting that pain at the pump from high gas prices is part of the plan.  His administration is rushing pell-mell into a green energy future, by, among other things, drawing on the $27 billion green energy slush fund in the so-called Inflation Reduction Act.

There’s just one problem: the green energy future envisioned by the administration and other wild-eyed climate change fanatics is totally impossible and won’t ever happen.

There aren’t enough minerals on earth to make a green transition a reality.  Copper, lithium, nickel, and cobalt are limiting factors, especially if you think about sustaining all-green energy into the future.

Converting all big trucks, ships, and railroads to electric – even if such a thing were possible – would require 10 times the number of power plants we have now.

To deliver reliable power from unreliable solar and wind, and avoid blackouts, would require more electrical storage capacity  than is physically feasible or economically viable.  Before we transition everything to green energy, wouldn’t it make sense to demand to see a demonstration project succeed, first?   Of course it would.  It’s also not too much to ask for a “comprehensive quantitative system-engineering life-cycle analysis of an all-renewable energy system” before we jump into it sight unseen.  Such an analysis would include the costs of materials, construction, operation, maintenance, decommissioning, and disposal.  And let’s see an environmental impact statement, while we’re at it.  Green energy is incredibly damaging to the environment, as some on the Left are beginning to recognize.  Life-cycle and environmental analysis would undoubtedly show a green transition is not physically or economically feasible.

Green energy fanatics have blinders on that don’t let them see beyond the east and west coasts.  The fact is, regardless of what the U.S. does, worldwide use of coal set a record last year and is expected to increase further this year.  The U.S. could do somersaults and cartwheels for green energy, but it wouldn’t make one bit of difference to global climate change computer models.

The fanatics want to leave fossil fuels in the ground and stop all oil & gas projects now, but the fact is fossil fuels will still be needed for decades if we are to avoid energy shortages, supply disruptions, and wild price swings.

Another problem is toxic waste.  What are we going to do with all the obsolete wind turbines, defunct solar panels, and dead batteries a green transition would entail?  No one has figured this out yet.  Put them in landfills and toxic minerals will leach into groundwater.  Burn them and it will all go into the air.

What happens to electricity prices if you get rid of all natural gas stoves, furnaces, and appliances and require everything to run on green energy?  What happens to electricity prices if you get rid of the internal combustion engine and require all vehicles to run on batteries?  Parts of Australia where gas drilling and fracking have been all but banned are already seeing double-digit increases.  Consumers in U.S. states with renewable energy quotas pay higher energy prices than they otherwise would.  Call it the ‘green tax’.

Vegetables are being rationed in Britain because soaring energy costs from overreliance on renewables is causing farmers to switch off their greenhouses before they go bankrupt.  That’s just one consequence that flows from unchecked green mania – not enough greens to eat.

Not only would a green transition place upward pressure on electricity prices, there’s another problem, as identified in E.M. Forster’s magnificent short story The Machine Stops: once you centralize everything into one system, everything comes to a grinding halt when the system fails.  A single point of failure – like an exclusively all-electric energy system – is a fundamental error well-known to anyone who has studied strategic planning.  Move everything to electricity and everything will stop if electricity becomes unavailable or unreliable.  That doesn’t happen now with energy sources for power and transportation diversified among coal, natural gas, oil, nuclear, and renewables.  There’s a lot to be said for keeping energy diversity and not letting green energy mania put the blinders on.  Our food, economic, and national security depend on it.

Phony Climate Change Narrative: Follow the Evidence

/in , , , , , , , /by

It’s been a bad month for the climate change crowd.  More evidence came in that the Left’s phony climate change narrative is a complete crock.  NASA satellite data shows there has been no global warming for eight years and five months. One ramification of this truth is that the United Nation’s IPCC predictions of global warming made in 1990 are completely wrong.  That’s despite 475 billion tons of CO2 emissions.  Moreover, major hurricanes hit a near-record low last year and there’s record cold in the Northeast this year.  There’s temperature data going back 350 years and it shows the earth started warming after the Little Ice Age completely due to natural causes.  Nobody can claim CO2 emissions were a problem in 1659 when the warming started.  Supporters of the modern climate change narrative have never proven CO2 emissions cause the earth to warm up.  The also ignore the obvious fact the earth’s temperature varies with the amount of sun activity and how close the earth’s orbit to the sun is at any given time.

Evidence also came in this month that many things the climate change crowd believes just ain’t so.  The Left wants you to believe the seas are rising and coastal catastrophes are right around the corner.  But NOAA’s coastal sea level tide gauge data continue to show no evidence of accelerating sea level rise.  The Climatistas also want you to believe the polar bears are disappearing and wildlife in general is vanishing.  Not true.  Polar bear populations are increasing, up maybe 6,000 in the last six years. And animal populations are expanding.  This includes antelope, elk, mountain lions, and bears, among other species.  The recovery of the grizzly bear is so profound that the Fish & Wildlife service might accept Montana’s petition to remove grizzlies from the endangered species list.

Evidence is accumulating that renewable energy sources have problems and adverse consequences of their own.  Nearly 80 rural communities rejected or restricted solar projects last year.  They’re pushing back against big solar farms gobbling up their land.  The Inflation Reduction Act earmarked oodles of cash for wind and solar, but the amount of land needed to build it all out is equivalent to the size of the state of Tennessee.  The locals affected aren’t going to stand for it.

Wind power has a number of problems of its own.  Four wind turbines have collapsed since 2021, and the blades fall off.  Experts are worried the problems are accelerating in newer models.  Wind turbines have to be hooked up to diesel generators to keep them warm in cold climates in the winter and the generators leak thousands of gallons of hydraulic oil on to the land.  Where do you think it goes from there?  There is concern putting wind turbines offshore kills the whales.  Also, it’s been known since 2009 that living close to wind turbines has adverse health consequences for humans.  The turbines can cause heart disease, tinnitus, vertigo, panic attacks, migraine headaches, and sleep deprivation, according to scientific evidence.

It’s clear renewable energy is not the nirvana the climate crowd makes it out to be.  Evidence is also piling up that the Biden administration’s vaunted ‘green transition’ is a pipedream, not Shangri-La, and can’t ever happen.  I’ll pick up with that tomorrow.

‘Climate Change’ Causing Gun Deaths!?

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

Climate Depot Update – Brought To You By the Wacky World of Climate

‘Climate change’ causing gun deaths!? – Feds Are Coming (Again) for Your Gas Stoves! – ABC News reveals ‘Logistical nightmares’ of EV charging

‘Climate change’ blamed for 8000 gun deaths in New Study in Journal of the American Medical Association – Claims ‘association between temperature & shootings’

Turns Out They Are Coming for Your Gas Stoves – Energy Dept now projects ‘roughly half of all gas stoves’ in U.S. would not meet proposed ‘efficiency regulations’

‘We plan meals around recharging the vehicles’ – ABC News: Electric vehicle drivers get candid about charging: ‘Logistical nightmare’ – ‘Charging on the go is neither easy nor fast’

Major British Newspaper Promotes Bringing ‘Back Rationing’ to ‘Fix Global Warming’ – ‘Create a scarcity of fossil fuels’

‘Climate change!’ What can’t it do?! Flashback 2020: Fatal train derailment in Scotland blamed on ‘climate change’

1) ‘Climate change’ blamed for 8000 gun deaths in New Study in Journal of the American Medical Association – Claims ‘association between temperature & shootings’

MSN.com: Becca Inglis: Gun violence is already a pressing public health concern in the U.S., and a new study has found a troubling link between it and the overheating of our planet. As temperatures across the country soar and unseasonably warm days continue, the number of gun deaths has increased. Nearly 8,000 gun shootings can be attributed to extreme temperatures, according to research published by JAMA Network. … Warmer temperatures increase the body’s stress hormones in the nervous system, which may heighten violent impulses. With daily temperatures expected to continue rising in the coming years, the number of injuries and fatalities from shootings could worsen, too. … The study suggests that measures to slow down the overheating of our planet could reduce shootings, too.

Climate Depot’s Morano – “The global warming activists have shifted the playing field, so shootings and murder statistics are now used as some sort of ‘proof’ of man-made global warming. Instead of looking at political factors like the lax enforcement of crime due to the Defund the Police movement, they would rather make outlandish claims linking shootings to climate change! The JAMA study also claims that we must address ‘climate change’ to lower gun deaths. The study implies if you don’t support the Green New Deal, then you are supporting the shooting of 8000 people.

2) Turns Out They Are Coming for Your Gas Stoves – Energy Dept now projects ‘roughly half of all gas stoves’ in U.S. would not meet proposed ‘efficiency regulations’

Free Beacon: In an analysis published earlier this month, President Joe Biden’s Energy Department acknowledged that roughly half of all gas stoves on the U.S. market today would not meet its proposed cooking appliance efficiency regulations, E&E News reported Friday. As a result, those stoves would not be eligible for purchase. Still, Energy Department spokesman Jeremy Ortiz dismissed concerns over the proposal, saying half the gas stove market “would remain if this standard is finalized as proposed.”

Climate Depot’s Marc Morano: “So the Biden admin sought to ban gas stoves, then denied it. Now they admit they want to ban gas stoves. I am old enough to remember when the ban on gas stoves was a conspiracy theory — back in January 2023!

It reminds me of how the government insisted COVID never came from a Chinese lab but now later admitted that it did. But don’t fret; the Energy Dept spokesman insists that half of our stoves would be allowed to stay under their generous climate plan. Rejoice! A total ban to save the climate is only a 50% ban. Will Americans draw the line and say NO to being forced to cook their mandated insect rations on an electric stove or fight to saute their bugs on a gas stove?! Will we draw the line somewhere?!”

3) ‘We plan meals around recharging the vehicles’ – ABC News: Electric vehicle drivers get candid about charging: ‘Logistical nightmare’ – ‘Charging on the go is neither easy nor fast’

Quiroga’s sister, who lives in Northern California, takes her internal combustion car — not her Tesla Model S — when she needs to drive across the state. Even Quiroga’s team of reporters has to carefully plan and calculate how far EV charging stations are when they conduct comparison tests among manufacturers. “These comparisons tests are a logistical nightmare. We plan meals around recharging the vehicles,” he said. “We need to have the battery at 100% or close to it to test a vehicle’s performance. We have to time everything — it requires more work.” … In December, Quiroga was in Florida driving BMW’s luxury i7 all-electric sedan. He watched as its range dropped from 240 miles to 220 as soon as he turned on the heat. “You use the luxuries … and the range plummets,” he said.

… “I was in the parking lot from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. It was a cold day.” … Bragg said her parents, who also bought a Mach-E, have complained of broken public chargers and endless lines. Sometimes they drive for miles before they can find a public charger that’s working properly, she said.

4) Major British Newspaper Promotes Bringing ‘Back Rationing’ to ‘Fix Global Warming’ – ‘Create a scarcity of fossil fuels’

5) ‘Climate change!’ What can’t it do?! Flashback 2020: Fatal train derailment in Scotland blamed on ‘climate change’‘Scotland’s transport sec. said the climate crisis is presenting increasing challenges for rail safety’ – Scottish transport secretary, Michael Matheson, said it was reasonable to presume the weather had had an impact on events, adding he hoped investigating authorities would advise whether efforts to address the challenges posed by extreme weather events should be stepped up. “[Network Rail] are well aware of our views about the need to make sure that we are taking forward the right types of mitigations that help to manage a challenge of these types of localised, intense weather events,” he said.

Climate Depot’s Morano: “Climate change has hijacked the real environmental movement. Climate concerns now trump concerns over clean air, clean water clean soil. The next time a train derails, we have learned that if you want to get the attention of the Biden administration, you need to claim that the train wreck was a result of ‘climate change’. If East Palestine Ohio had blamed the toxic train derailment on ‘climate change, Secretary Pete would have been there the same day.”

Joe Biden’s Hydrogen Slush Fund Means More Dollars Wasted On The Green Energy Boondoggle

/in , , , , , , , /by

Nearly 50 years ago in 1976, congress authorized the Hydrogen Program managed by the National Science Foundation. Then in 1983, Bush and Congress threw more money at hydrogen as an alternative energy source.

Last year Congress and Biden, in their infrastructure bill, created a $9.5 billion dollar hydrogen slush fund. The Europeans have also authorized $5.2 billion euros for their hydro slush fund.

Since 1839, scientists have been working on hydrogen for energy and storage with little to show for it. The future of green hydrogen is just as dull. Brown and grey hydrogen, made with CO2 creating coal or natural gas (CH4) makes reasonably priced hydrogen now.

Hydrogen is not a fuel. It must be created and is only a way of storing and transporting energy. All of which are difficult, expensive and there is no infrastructure to support it.

This $9.5 billion slush fund is a breeding ground for multiple Solyndras. Solyndra was 1/3 of the 1.5 billion-dollar taxpayer loss on Obama’s solar revolution.

The Biden administration has authorized a half billion loan guarantee for a green hydrogen hub in Delta, Utah. Never mind that green hydrogen requires huge volumes of water and Delta is on the edge of the desert, and the entire southwest is chronically short of water. Or that Utah today only gets 4% of its electricity from wind and solar.

There is no “excess” wind and solar to create green hydrogen in Utah. (RELATED: DAVID BLACKMON: Greta Thunberg’s Solution For Climate Change — End Modern Life As We Know It)

Building a green hydrogen hub in a very dry place with very little “renewable” energy is not wise; some would even call it stupid. The Biden administration needs a talking point to a fix the recently admitted unreliability problem of wind and solar. So common sense and fiscal responsibility are unnecessary.

Our electric grids need full-time demand matching electricity, or we have blackouts. There is a dawning realization by the climate religion, there isn’t enough lithium in the world, over the next few decades, to build tens of millions of electric vehicles and industrial scale grid batteries too.

In addition, lithium batteries cannot store the abundant solar power California has in the sunny mild winter for use in hot July. The energy will have left those batteries long before July rolls around.

Hence, the expensive talking point of green hydrogen was born.

Making green hydrogen takes a lot of energy. About 35% more energy than the created hydrogen stores. Then you lose another 30% when you transport and use it. Hydrogen yields only 35% of the energy input. It is a real energy loser.

Making green hydrogen requires 13 times more water, sea water has to be desalinated first, and additional water for cooling. Then heat the water to 2,000 degrees and electrocute it, freeing oxygen into the air and hydrogen into the factory. Then super chill to near-absolute zero. Then compress it to 10,000 psi, which is three times the psi of an average scuba tank.

Super cold liquid hydrogen is born.

It can be used for fuel cells and burned in electric producing power plants instead of natural gas. We get far more bang for our buck with natural gas rather than create electricity to make green hydrogen, only to burn it again, to make electricity using a process that costs 65% of the energy.

The whole concept of using wind and solar to produce green hydrogen has an elephant-in-the-room type problem.

The Industrial Four Step process of making hydrogen isn’t something that can be started on sunny mornings and stopped in the late afternoon. Or fired up when the wind starts blowing and then shut down when the wind stops. What will keep the hydrogen process flowing on dark windless nights?

Does a green dreamer care to answer that? Do the facts matter? Heck, it is only federal borrowed money anyway. Hydrogen is just another form of political greenwashing at the American people’s expense.

We need to stop the wasteful spending of taxpayer money — money we don’t have — on green boondoggles before it is too late.

Before the communist Chinese, who use more than half of the 8 billion tons of coal as their primary fuel source (60% of total energy), eat our lunch and rule the world, Americans need to wake up to the dangerous threats of the green energy nightmare and the rising threat of the Red Chinese Dragon before it is too late!

Federal Employees Say Forcing Them Back Into The Office Endangers The Planet

/in , , , , , , , /by

This is where your hard earned taxpayer dollars go – to these sloths. They should all be fired. Clearly, they are not needed. The U.S. government is the nation’s largest employer. It’s obscene.

Federal Employees Say Forcing Them Back Into The Office Endangers The Planet

The largest union of federal employees is arguing against a return to the office because it would be harmful for the environment, The Washington Post reported Wednesday.

By: John Hugh DeMastri, Daily Caller, February 22, 2023

President Joe Biden has been under increasing pressure from Republican Rep. James Comer of Kentucky and Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser of Washington, D.C., to send federal employees back to the office, the Post reported. In response, representatives from the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) told the Post that a return to the office would have negative environmental impacts.

“We all know that personal automobiles are responsible for a tremendous amount of pollution through the burning of fossil fuels,” Jacque Simon, public policy director at the AFGE, told the Post. “So every car trip not taken has an environmental benefit.”

This sentiment was echoed by AFGE Local 1236 President Bethany Dreyfus, who represents employees at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in Hawaii, California, Nevada and Arizona, according to the Post. The calls to return to the office have “unsettled” EPA employees in that region who tout the environmental and work-life balance benefits of remote work.

“So many of us work on reducing emissions in our daily jobs at the EPA,” Dreyfus told the Post. “So to be able to do that not only through our work, but how we get to work, is really important.”

The U.S. federal government owns or leases roughly one-third of properties in D.C., and accounted for approximately one-fourth of the city’s pre-pandemic jobs, ABC News reported. D.C. is the U.S. city with the highest work-from-home rate, putting pressure on businesses, who are seeing less foot traffic, and city officials are concerned that tax revenue may take a permanent hit.

“We need decisive action by the White House to either get most federal workers back to the office, most of the time, or to realign their vast property holdings for use by the local government, by nonprofits, by businesses and by any user willing to revitalize it,” Bowser said in her inaugural address Jan. 2, ABC News reported.

Ohio State Senator Calls for Incompetent Buttigieg to Resign

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

In an interview on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Saturday, Ohio State Senator Michael Rulli (R) said U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg “needs to resign right now” over the train derailment in East Palestine.

“Buttigieg needs to resign right now. He is an embarrassment. He is incompetent, and he is actually getting people hurt by holding that position,” Rulli said. “The people in Congress, we need to impeach him. And it needs to happen right now.”

Referring to the diversity hire Buttigieg’s comments last week that there are roughly 1,000 train derailments each year, Rulli added that Buttigieg “had the gall to tell my people that he has 1,000 train accidents, and that this isn’t that bad. It is that bad.”

“[Buttigieg] doesn’t even understand, in that town, it’s half and half. You got half Democrats, you got half Republicans,” Rulli added. “They’re going to punish my people because they just think that we’re all Trump, and that’s it. That’s what they’re doing here.”

Buttigieg on Capitalism & Socialism

In March 2019 Buttigieg told MSNBC that he thinks of himself as a capitalist but believes the system should be changed. Specifically, he stated that big business is a threat: “The biggest problem with capitalism right now is the way it’s become intertwined with power and is eroding our democracy.” Buttigieg was less critical of socialism, telling the network that socialism “is a word in American politics that has basically lost all meaning” and “has been used as a kill switch to stop an idea from being talked about.”

Bad Optics: EPA Chief Michael Regan abruptly cancels Africa ‘climate change’ trip with Hollywood celebrities – As EPA Remains silent on who ordered controlled burn of toxic Ohio train

Actor and humanitarian Idris Elba and his wife Sabrina Elba will accompany Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Michael Regan on Saturday to sub-Saharan Africa, the Grio exclusively reports.  The NAACP and Golden Globe award-winning star, Mrs. Elba and Regan will travel to Ghana and Sierra Leone to focus on the issue of climate change and ways to combat its devastating ripple effects around the globe.

Update Trip Cancelled: Editor’s note: “Since the publication of this report, EPA Administrator Micheal Regan has postponed his trip to Africa due to his department’s emergency response to the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, which has caused environmental concerns for its residents.”

[ … ]

Climate Depot’s Morano: “This aborted Africa trip is more evidence that the climate change issue has hijacked real environmental concerns! The entirety of the environmental movement has been obsessed with ‘climate change’ to the detriment of real green issues like pollution, clean air, and water. The Biden Admin and Sec. Pete has devoted themselves to wokeness and ‘climate change,’ and they are letting their real environmental duties, like addressing the toxic train derailment, fall to the wayside. It took Buttigieg 10 days to even talk about the derailment as he instead chose to talk about too many white construction workers. When your goal is climate change and renaming racist roads, real environmental protection gets ignored.”

EPA Administrator Michael Regan Flying to Africa Today with Actors to Address Climate Change, Silent on Who Ordered East Palestine, Ohio Controlled Burn

April Ryan of the Grio reported on Thursday that EPA administrator Michael Regan is flying to Africa Saturday, February 18 on a climate change mission, accompanied by a well known “actor and humanitarian.” Regan has yet to respond to inquiries from The Ohio Star about EPA’s role in the decision to execute a controlled burn of vinyl chloride on February 6 at the East Palestine, Ohio Norfolk Southern train derailment.

A source familiar with EPA Administrator’s travel schedule has confirmed the agency has spent more than $6,000 for Regan’s air travel to Africa on this trip,

Greta Thunberg’s Solution For Climate Change — End Modern Life As We Know It

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

In a book published Feb. 14 titled “The Climate Book,” climate alarm movement poster child Greta Thunberg says that the only way to avoid catastrophic global climate change is to end modern life as we know it.

In an excerpt published by Time Magazine on Feb. 10, Thunberg begins by saying, “The solution to this crisis is not exactly rocket science. What we have to do is to halt the emission of greenhouse gasses”. What that means to anyone who understands how the world works is a halting of economic growth, a halting of transportation, a halting of moving about and making things and feeding the world’s masses.

Literally every activity in which humans engage creates emissions of one form or another. For example, the ammonia that forms the essential ingredient to fertilizers that have enabled crop yields to rise to levels necessary to feed the world’s masses is produced from petroleum. If we shut down drilling for oil and gas, pipelines, refineries and chemical plants, as Thunberg wants to do, that means an end to adequate global food production.

Just ask the people of Sri Lanka about this. Their government tried to eliminate all ammonia-based fertilizers in 2021, and the result was an almost immediate, massive economic and societal collapse. It was so severe that rioters stormed the country’s capital and forced a change in government.

In the Time excerpt, Thunberg obsesses about atmospheric carbon dioxide, the basis of the climate alarm movement, noting that it has risen substantially in recent decades, and ultimately arriving at this truth: “ there is no silver bullet or magic technological solution in sight.” This is absolutely correct.

Electric vehicles, pushed as the “magic technological solution” to do away with internal combustion engines, can never really accomplish that mission due mainly to their gargantuan appetite for an array of critical energy minerals. It will be near-impossible for global production of minerals like lithium, copper, cobalt, nickel and others to rise to projected levels that would be necessary to enable such a magical transition to EVs.

Thunberg’s solution? We all need to give up our cars, of course.

The same is true in the electricity generation space, where the climate alarm movement pushes wind and solar as the “magic technological solution” to doing away with fossil fuels. Never mind the intermittency of wind and solar, they have consistently assured us that that shortcoming will be solved as soon as we’ve developed a “magic technological solution” in the form of viable, scalable backup battery storage.

The problem there is that those batteries for electricity storage are every bit as reliant on those same critical energy minerals as are the batteries that power all the EVs.

Thunberg’s solution? We all need to give up all our electric devices, adjust our thermostats and deal with only enjoying electric service for a few hours each day. After all, they’re already doing this in places like Pakistan, Sri Lanka and other developing nations, and we see how that’s working out. To Greta, there is no reason why those in the developed world should be any different.

In fact, she contends, it’s all the fault of the developed world to begin with. “Beyond the very basics,” she contends in the Time excerpt, “our top priority must be to distribute our remaining carbon budgets in a fair and holistic way across the world, as well as to repay our enormous historical debts. That means those who are most responsible for this crisis must immediately and drastically reduce their emissions,” i.e., dramatically scale back the standards of living typically enjoyed in modern, western society.

“People keep asking us climate activists what we should do to save the climate,” Greta continues. “But maybe the question itself is wrong. Maybe, instead, we should start asking what we should stop doing.”

What she wants everyone in the developed world to stop doing is driving, taking vacations, being connected electronically, eating beef and other animal proteins, enjoying year-round fruits and vegetables imported from other parts of the world, watching TikTok videos and consuming news on iPhones, cooking with gas stoves and living a modern, 21st century existence.

Thunberg insists that making these sacrifices would, if done the “right” way, result in a society in which “we can make time and space for community, solidarity, and love — the true tenets of a good life.”

A far more likely outcome, though, would be the creation of populations preferred by authoritarian governments throughout history, ones that are immobile, isolated, under-nourished, uncomfortable, ignorant and scared. Not exactly how most people in any part of the world, developed or not, wish to live.

There simply must be a better way. If Greta wins, everyone else loses.

WIND TURBINE SLAUGHTER: Another Dead whale Washes Onto Jersey Shore — 9th One in NY-NJ Area in Just 2 months

/in , , , , , , , /by

“Renewables” are the most expensive, least effective and most destructive forms of energy on the planet.

How many pipelines and energy projects were stopped dead in their tracks over some innocuous environmental concern or obscure fish “endangerment.” Further proof of how full of garbage these cretins are.

These same destroyers are banning our cleanest forms of energy like natural gas and nuclear power.

Dead whale washes onto Jersey shore — 9th one in NY-NJ area in 2 months

By Allie Griffin, February 13, 2023:

Whale carcass washed up on a beach in Manasquan, NJ

The whale is the ninth dead whale to wash up in the NY-NJ area since

A dead whale was found on a New Jersey beach Monday — the ninth one to wash ashore in the New York-New Jersey area since early December in what activists are calling an alarming uptick.

The massive marine mammal ended up on Whiting Avenue beach in Manasquan after it was tossed around in the surf, according to Point Pleasant Mayor Paul Kanitra.

Clean Ocean Action, an environmental conservation organization, said that the high number of whale deaths in a roughly two-month period has not been seen in the region in about 50 years.

The group said it believes off-shore wind energy projects could be the culprit of the rising fatalities.

“This alarming number of deaths is unprecedented in the last half century, the only unique factor from previous years, is the excessive scope, scale, and magnitude of offshore wind powerplant activity in the region,” COA said in a statement.

Biden Admits He Has No Plans To Replace America’s Oil Infrastructure

/in , , , , , , , , /by

President Joe Biden continues his pursuit of the generation of electricity from wind turbines and solar panels while simultaneously moving to rid the world of fossil fuels. He has a short memory of petrochemical products and human ingenuity being the reasons for the world populating from 1 to 8 billion in less than two hundred years. America now represents a mere 4 percent of the world’s population.

The world’s population explosion was not just based on the discovery of oil alone a couple of hundred years ago. We have learned that crude oil is useless unless it can be manufactured into something usable. The 8 billion now on this planet are dependent on the oil derivatives and fuels that are manufactured from crude oil.

Today, the societies and economies within the diverse 8 billion people, are now dependent on more than 6,000 products in their daily lives, as well as manufacturing the fuels for 50,000 jets moving people and products, and more than 50,000 merchant ships for global trade flows, and the military and space program.

Ridding the world of oil, without a replacement in mind, is immoral and evil, as extreme shortages will result in billions of fatalities from diseases, malnutrition, and weather-related deaths, necessitating lifestyles being mandated back to the horse and buggy days of the 1800’s, and could be the greatest threat to the planet’s eight billion residents.

President Biden should be advised of the old proverb “you can’t have your cake and eat it too” which tells us that you can’t rid the world of fossil fuels and continue to enjoy the products and fuels manufactured from fossil fuels.

Under Biden’s watch, nine refinery closures in America have occurred in the last several years, the same manufacturers that are providing the derivatives for products and fuels for transportation that are the basis of a thriving economy. Those closures have resulted in the United States losing nearly 1 million barrels per day of oil refining capacity, with more set to be shuttered in the next few years.

These are the refiners that have closed recently or cut capacity under Biden’s watch:

  1. LyondellBasell, Houston, Texas: Capacity: 263,776 barrel-per-day (bpd)
  2. Phillips 66 Alliance, Belle Chasse, Louisiana: Capacity: 255,000 bpd
  3. Limetree Bay, St Croix, US Virgin Islands: Capacity: 210,000 bpd
  4. Shell Convent, St. James, Louisiana: Capacity: 240,000 bpd
  5. Marathon, Martinez, California: Capacity: 161,000 bpd
  6. Marathon, Gallup, New Mexico: Capacity: 27,000 bpd
  7. Phillips66, Rodeo, California Capacity: 120,200 bpd
  8. HollyFrontier, Cheyenne, Wyoming: Capacity: 52,000 bpd
  9. Calcasieu Refining, Lake Charles, Louisiana: Capacity: 135,500 bpd

The same time that Biden is diminishing the supply of manufactured products and fuels, he was emphatic during his State of the Union speech that products for the American economy would be “Made in America” and the “Supply chain begins in America” to support our growing economy. Logic and economics have proven that increased demands concurrent with reductions is supply, will be the catalyst to shortages and inflation in perpetuity.

Life without oil is NOT AS SIMPLE AS YOU MAY THINK as renewable energy is only intermittent electricity from breezes and sunshine and NEITHER wind turbines, nor solar panels, can manufacture anything for society.

Climate will continue to be a challenge, like it has for billions of years, but now, we have 8 billion on this planet that we didn’t have a few centuries ago, that we need to maintain healthy and productive in the decades ahead. Depriving them of the products and fuels manufactured from fossil fuels, could be a much greater threat to mankind, than any climatic challenges facing humanity.

Restricting the supply of oil feedstock to be manufactured by refineries into usable products for society is not helpful in meeting the growing demands by society. Further, Biden seems oblivious to one in five oil refineries that are expected to cease operations over the next five years which may another 20 refinery closures in America, President Biden’s plans to reduce emissions from manufacturing fossil fuels into usable products is a commendable objective, but he has no plans for the replacement of what is now manufactured from fossil fuels, which are supporting the 8 billion on this planet.

In addition to the refinery closures occurring under Biden’s watch, the future does not bode well for the 80 percent of the world’s 700 refineries that are located outside of America. Projections are that 20 percent of the 700 worldwide refineries are expected to close in the next 5 years. Further inflation and shortages in perpetuity are guaranteed, as refineries manufacture crude oil into the derivatives and fuels for the world’s 8 billion.

President Biden could enhance his energy literacy by viewing a short 1-minute video produced by Epoch Times TV about renewables that only generate electricity, but manufacture nothing for society. The video has already been viewed by more than 800,000 on social media.

Anesthesiologists Hide Painful Climate Plan After Climate Depot Exposé

/in , , , , , , , , /by

A ridiculous plan to reduce anesthesia to combat climate change disappeared online after CFACT’s Marc Morano exposed it at our Climate Depot news and information service.

The article was pulled from the American Society of Anesthesiologists website within 48 hours of Marc posting it and tweeting about it.

The ridiculous justification for limiting anesthesia is that inhaled anesthesia accounts for up to 0.1% of the world’s carbon emissions, and that an hour of surgery using an inhaled anesthetic is equivalent to driving as many as 470 miles, according to a 2010 study.

The notion that people should risk pain and suffering during surgical procedures to “save” the planet is a perfect example of the crazy cult climate change has become.  Human sacrifice is demanded.  The fact that your future pain will not alter the temperature of the globe to a degree anyone can perceive in any meaningful way is entirely beside the point.

Marc explained the whole thing and more on Sebastian Gorka’s OAN television show and on In Focus with Addison Smith.

Marc further reports that the Harvard Medical School faculty is discussing intertwining climate into its entire medical teaching curriculum.

Subordinating our medical care to the climate regime seems a surefire way to violate a doctor’s basic Hippocratic oath to “first do no harm.”
