Is Al Gore downsizing?

Former Vice President turned nine-figure millionaire , Al Gore , long a global warming celebrity , will be among several speakers next month for a series of “ TED Talks ” to launch “ Countdown , ” which is a global initiative to deal with the “ climate crisis.

No industry @ @ @ @ @ @ @ less carbon , including steel , cement , aviation , shipping and more .
Ultimately , the Countdown initiative is about preventing average global temperature from increasing by more than 1.5 degrees Celsius by 2050 .

No one is against “safer, cleaner and fairer” in the abstract, which is why such terms are used incessantly in commercials, and by interest groups, politicians, salespeople and hucksters alike. I’m especially curious about that word “fairer” when it comes to climate activism. “Fairness” also is a subjective term; one person’s definition of fair is not necessarily another person’s.
From a political or policy standpoint, fairness is about who gets and who pays. The various Green New Deal proposals beginning in 2019 are not confined to energy and environmental initiatives. They go far beyond by mandating unionization, tax hikes, guaranteed income and more redistributionist policies under the guise of fairness.
The Countdown climate initiative curiously uses fairness because the partner organizations and climate agenda are not content with a cleaner planet, but about a much larger and more powerful government and welfare state. Accordingly, they support greater state control to dictate how private industry operates and produces product to supposedly secure a cleaner planet; and increased redistribution from the private sector and taxpayers to expanded government subsidies and giveaways. No industry is spared from being forced to emit less carbon, including steel, cement, aviation, shipping and more.
Ultimately, the Countdown initiative is about preventing average global temperature from increasing by more than 1.5 degrees Celsius by 2050. Countdown links to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report that contends the prevention of warming of one-half degree above its projected increase of 1.5C will mean “our world will suffer less negative impacts on intensity and frequency of extreme events, on resources, ecosystems, biodiversity, food security, cities, tourism, and carbon removal.”
Countdown is another effort to propagate the climate change agenda, which purports to keeping the planet from warming beyond 1.5 degrees in the next three decades by reducing net carbon emissions to zero. This crusade, however, ignores a blizzard of realities, including that man-made carbon emissions comprise about one-ten thousandth of the planet’s atmospheric gases; and Earth’s climate is affected by much more than carbon dioxide levels. The IPCC climate prediction and its impact on “extreme events, food security,” etc., is pure conjecture dressed up as science.
There are more than 50 TED speakers lined up to make the case for stopping global warming, including Mr. Gore, whose given title is “Climate Advocate.” In fact, he has two speaking slots because…he’s Al Gore, whose hypocrisy and climate predictions gone bust are apparent to everyone not prone to hysteria.
In keeping with the goal of reducing climate emissions by half in ten years, Mr. Gore should announce he is downsizing from his mansion in upscale Belle Meade, Tennessee. This 10,000 square-foot, 20-room edifice consumes 21 times the electricity of the average American. Gore is long since divorced from his wife, Tipper, and his four children have grown up and departed the nest. His predictable screed will be fitting for a person residing in a studio apartment and using public transportation.
At least 12 speakers are labeled as “advocates” or “activists” and another 12 are listed as one or more of the following: singer, songwriter, poet, artist, actor, novelist and comedian. Another seven presenters work for Amazon, Apple (both of which have a substantial presence in China, the world’s largest emitter of greenhouse gases), and other private companies; and at least five are politicians, including Antonio Guterres, the Secretary-General of the United Nations.
There are three scientists in this distinguished group of TED speakers, not including the one “political scientist,” who doesn’t count; another five are listed as “scholars” or researchers. Are scientists boring speakers? Perhaps, since they comprise only 6 percent of the presenters who will make the case for global warming and transforming our society.
Finally, there is a category I call “other,” which includes the “Duke of Cambridge” (as in Prince William, 2nd in line to the British throne), “Long-view Philosopher,” “Capitalism Rethinker,” and my personal favorite, “Stubborn Optimist.”
No doubt that most of the TED speakers for the Countdown initiative are accomplished in their fields and will be interesting in many ways. Those discussing upcoming technology that will translate to lower carbon emissions could be worthwhile. Since the speakers’ line-up heavily skews toward activists, entertainers and other non-scientists, it remains how many of them will deal in scientific substance and facts, rather than raw emotion and societal control that define the climate change cottage industry.

Germany is failing to meet its climate goals of reducing carbon-dioxide emissions even after @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to overhaul its energy systems .
Germany ’ s emissions miss should be a “ wake-up call ” for governments everywhere , but Governor Newsom has yet to wake up .
Not only has the shuttering of four gas plants been deferred to a later time , but the zero-emission generating plant at PG & E ’ s Nuclear 2,160 megawatt plant at Diablo Canyon to be shuttered in 2024 remains on schedule .
The Diablo plant supplies zero emission electricity to 3 million households .
The four gas plants , that are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that were given a shuttering deferral for the time being , to allow them to continue providing continuous and uninterruptable generated electricity are : • The 310 mw Natural Gas Power Plant at Redondo Beach , that was scheduled to be shuttered in 2023 .

• @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at Wilmington , that was scheduled to be shuttered in 2029 .
Until the 2020 summer , California utilities and grid operators were able to purchase extra electricity from the Southwest and Northwest , but when the heat wave stretches from Texas to Oregon there is little available to make up for California ’ s power shortage .

Governor Newsom announced on Friday September 11th that he is about to take one giant step toward following Germany’s failed climate goals which should be a wake-up all for governments everywhere. Like Germany, California’s renewables are becoming an increasing share in intermittent electricity generation, but at a HIGH COST. Power prices in Germany are among the highest in Europe.
California’s high cost of electricity is already fifty percent higher than the national average for residents, and double the national averages for commercial, and are projected to go even higher. The inability to replace the closure of continuously uninterruptable electricity from nuclear and natural gas power plants with intermittent electricity from renewables of industrial wind and solar is causing the state to import more and more of its electricity.
California is proud of being the only state in America that imports more electricity than any other state, now at 32 percent. With the state having no plans to replace the capacity of the recent three natural gas power plants that were shuttered in 2018 and the upcoming five power plant closures (four natural gas and one nuclear) with in-state intermittent electricity from wind and solar, California will need to increase its imports of high-priced electricity from the Northwest and Southwest to fill the void, and let residents and businesses pay the premium.
Germany tried to step up as a leader on climate change, by phasing out nuclear and natural gas power plants, and pioneered a system of subsidies for industrial wind and solar that sparked a global boom in manufacturing those technologies. Germany is failing to meet its climate goals of reducing carbon-dioxide emissions even after spending over $580 billion by 2025 to overhaul its energy systems. Germany’s emissions miss should be a “wake-up call” for governments everywhere, but Governor Newsom has yet to wake up.
Not only has the shuttering of four gas plants been deferred to a later time, but the zero-emission generating plant at PG&E’s Nuclear 2,160 megawatt plant at Diablo Canyon to be shuttered in 2024 remains on schedule. The Diablo plant supplies zero emission electricity to 3 million households.
The four gas plants, that are part of the fossil fuel arsenal, that were given a shuttering deferral for the time being, to allow them to continue providing continuous and uninterruptable generated electricity are:
The 310 mw Natural Gas Power Plant at Redondo Beach, that was scheduled to be shuttered in 2023. The 823 mw Natural Gas Power Plant at Scattergood in Playa Del Rey, that was scheduled to be shuttered in 2024. The 575 mw Natural Gas Power Plant at Haynes in Long Beach, that was scheduled to be shuttered in 2029. The 472 mw Natural Gas Power Plant at Wilmington, that was scheduled to be shuttered in 2029.
Until the 2020 summer, California utilities and grid operators were able to purchase extra electricity from the Southwest and Northwest, but when the heat wave stretches from Texas to Oregon there is little available to make up for California’s power shortage.
By continuously shuttering in-state power plants, the state will need to import more high-priced electricity from the Southwest and Northwest to fill the void as the states continues to support the disparate cost effects onto the poorer, less educated residents of all races and ethnicities, resulting from importing electricity at premium rates.
As California fires rage, nobody is taking responsibility for the unlimited “fuel” for the fires. Rather than addressing ways to reduce the amount of “fuel” awaiting the next spark, homeless campfire, gender reveal, or lightning strike, California’s Governor Newsom’s solution is for more litigation and a reorganization of a utility company to prevent devastating wildfires.
It’s a shared responsibility of all parties as to why we’ve accumulated so much fuel for a fire and continue to allow its growth. Year after year, Democrats have supported environmentalists who have litigated and lobbied to stop efforts to clear the forests through timber harvesting, underbrush removal, and controlled burns.
California has forbid forest management, and builders continue to build wood tinder box homes adjacent to the stockpile of “fuel” for any fires in the forest, and homeowners do very little to fireproof their homes sitting amongst all that “fuel” for the fire.
In addition to promoting the growth of fuel for the next forest fire, the dysfunctional energy plan to “leak” emissions to other states for California’s electricity needs, to help achieve in-state emission reductions, is also based on the hopes that other states will be able to generate enough to replace the shuttered California power plants and will have the extra capacity to add to the grid!

No nation on Earth has been endowed with more valuable minerals than the United States .
We led the world in mining output only 30 years ago .
Due to environmental activist resistance and unreasonable EPA regulations our nation has fallen to seventh in mining productivity .

For those readers who hear daily about “ rare earth ” minerals but have no clue what they are other than very important in advanced electronics , here are a few aspects easy to remember .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ are commonly found grouped together in the earth .
They exhibit unique attributes like magnetism , stability at extreme temperatures , resistance to corrosion and high electric conductivity .
This makes them important in the production of GPS guidance systems , satellite imaging , night vision equipment , flat TV screens and a lot of military equipment .
And yet we have been reliant for years on China and Russia for these critical minerals , though we likely have more of them than both countries combined .
They are really not rare regardless @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

A recent Op-Ed by Del .
Richard ( “ Rip ” ) Sullivan lauds the Virginia Clean Economy Act ( VCEA ) which mandates requiring the construction of wind and solar electricity facilities in Virginia .
His editorial criticizes a recent decision by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ( FERC ) regarding the price which can be charged by renewable electricity suppliers in the interstate market .

And what a vast array of renewable electricity subsidies there are : production tax credits , investment credits , property tax exemptions , rebates , loan guarantees , residential tax credits , job creation credits – the list goes on .
FERC stated , that failure to consider the impact of these subsidies would result in obvious price distortion , and violate the FERC mandate to assure that prices are “ just and reasonable and not discriminatory or preferential ” .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ patron of VCEA , this will prevent solar and wind being the sole providers of electricity in Virginia .
Think California !
What is “ renewable ” electricity costs to consumers without these subsidies ?
Sullivan states that under the FERC Order , we “ will suddenly be forced to supply wind electricity at an artificially inflated price , twenty times higher than the maximum price ” allowed by FERC .
Twenty times higher !
Without all the subsidies , renewable generated electricity costs consumers twenty times more than electricity supplied by existing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

A recent Op-Ed by Del. Richard (“Rip”) Sullivan lauds the Virginia Clean Economy Act (VCEA) which mandates requiring the construction of wind and solar electricity facilities in Virginia.
His editorial criticizes a recent decision by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) regarding the price which can be charged by renewable electricity suppliers in the interstate market.
He claims the FERC decision assaults “basic free market competition”.
In essence, FERC’s new rule states that when electricity generated by renewable providers is sold in interstate markets, the price must reflect all of the subsidies provided by Virginia to these suppliers, so that these suppliers will not compete unfairly with electricity generated by existing sources.
And what a vast array of renewable electricity subsidies there are: production tax credits, investment credits, property tax exemptions, rebates, loan guarantees, residential tax credits, job creation credits – the list goes on. FERC stated, that failure to consider the impact of these subsidies would result in obvious price distortion, and violate the FERC mandate to assure that prices are “just and reasonable and not discriminatory or preferential”.
Sullivan is upset, as the primary patron of VCEA, this will prevent solar and wind being the sole providers of electricity in Virginia. Think California!
What is “renewable” electricity costs to consumers without these subsidies?
Sullivan states that under the FERC Order, we “will suddenly be forced to supply wind electricity at an artificially inflated price, twenty times higher than the maximum price” allowed by FERC.
Twenty times higher! Without all the subsidies, renewable generated electricity costs consumers twenty times more than electricity supplied by existing sources.
No wonder he is upset. FERC just exposed exactly what VCEA will cost us in order to achieve the fantasy of all wind and solar electrical generation in Virginia by 2035.

committeeconstructivetomorrowcfactorg--2020-09-22--A vice-presidential candidate chimes in on climate (guess who)

Numerous articles and statements weaponizing weather events to push an agenda have shown up of late .
This is predictable given the time of the year when we are experiencing both hurricane season and and election cyclone .

I wonder if Senator Harris knows this ?
The problem is that you don ’ t see that part of the graphic that I am showing you here , unless you are reading articles like this .
They won ’ t show you what happened.. And the increase we see the past .

A warm winter in the east for instance is a product of many factors , This years Atlantic hurricane season for instance is countered by what is close to a record LOW year of cyclonic energy in the Pacific basin , which is home to over 75 % of global tropical cyclone activity .

Very often when the Pacific basin gets shut @ @ @ @ @ @ @ become active in the tropics , and , the western US has upper air ridges that are stronger than average .
The result is hot dry weathe there .
Anyone screaming climate change bringing this up ?
Any journalist looking at this ?
Of course not .
Now the last .
5 years have been drier than average in the pac northwest , but near average in California : In addition much of the nation has been wet , OPPOSITE OF WHAT WAS BEING PUSHED AFTER THE HOT DRY SUMMERS OF 2010 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were opposite , dry in California but wet in the north .
The 1930s showed the opposite again .
But look at the large amount of dryness in the nation !
In addition summer max temperatures were hotter 1931-1960 over much of the nation : So the west is warmer the past 30 years , but there is compensating cooling further east .
By the way , the decade of the 30s featured the summers of 1934 and 1936 which had a Palmer drought index like this .
And max temperatures like this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ campaign trail then .
I mean coming out of his basement every now and then , since it would likely be too hot to campaign .
And too dusty ( height of the dust bowl ) Why is man making it warmer in one place , but cooler in another ?
Answer : he is not .
Why is man making it rain more in one place , not rain as much , then flipping it around ?
Answer : he is not .
Nature is .
However none of this is shown @ @ @ @ @ @ @ down questioning So the weather swings back and forth .
The perma-drought being forecasted for the plains after the hot dry summers of 2010-2013 reversed the same way it did in the 1950s .
California had plenty of rain a couple of years ago to balance their so called permanent drought , But no matter what happens , climate change is blamed .
How can you say there is a perma -drought , have it rain , then claim the rain was for the same reason that the perma -drought was .
Then @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that to be your answer .
It could snow cheese in Los Angeles and that would be climate change .
Its almost like any answer goes .
Everyone gets a climate trophy if you blame climate change and the capitalist system that is driving it .
But if one simply examines what has happened before , one sees a pattern of back and forth where the swings have been extreme before , and will be so again .
We have something we use called the Palmer drought index ( I showed the mid @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would be worse now in the west ( though for much of the nation it is great for growing food , something at last look , was a benefit to man not associated with a crisis ) , than it was in the 30s-50s when rainfall was actually a bit less ?
Well lets look at the definition .
The Palmer Drought Index is based on a supply-and-demand model of soil moisture .
Supply is comparatively straightforward to calculate , but demand is more complicated as it depends on many factors , not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the soil but also hard-to-calibrate factors including evapotranspiration and recharge rates Recharge rates .
Hmm , how much water is coming back into the system .
Well lets see .
The population in the late .
1930s , the decade of the most acreage burn in the US , of the 3 west coast states was 8.5 million .
In the late 1950s .
18 million Now over 50 million , Can you imagine the demand on the water supply , how much it has increased ?
Looks at the 5 year @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rains too much in the winter ?
Once the weather warms foliage explodes for a time , but it is going to dry out .
In a strange sense , too much rain can lead to enhanced fire seasons , because there is always going to be dry weather , there is always going to be thunderstorms going off that can set this off .
Not mention all the other man-made causes , accidental or in sick cases .
Arson .
In fact look at this statement from the forest service as to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The most common direct human causes of wildfire ignition include arson , discarded cigarettes , power-lines arcs ( as detected by arc mapping ) , and sparks from equipment .
The most common cause of wildfires varies throughout the world .
In Canada and northwest China , lightning operates as the major source of ignition .
Forest management , I won ’ t get into that , I am just bringing up other points that are not considered when wildfires are weaponized for agenda driven purposes Finally while this year is likely going @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the last 10 , the record year of 2017 was .
5 times less than the average of the 1930s as you saw above So what is the conclusion .
1 ) No question the climate is changing .
it always has and always will .
2 ) Man is contributing to the problem , but not in the way that is being portrayed as the main reason .
More people , more usage , the rise in wildfires the last 20-30 years has coincided with the rise of co2 and temps @ @ @ @ @ @ @ explosion of population .
3 ) Adaptation , management and progress , not simply a one size fits all draconian solution , is the way to deal with this .
Finally , Journalist should at least stop and take the time to examine other aspects of this .
I never ask anyone to believe what I say , just to look at competing factors .
The total picture is where the answer lies , not just assuming man is now the climate control knob , when he has never been before .
Seems @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what is an infinite untamed system .
Questioning is what we were taught many years ago and perhaps the biggest aspect of all this is the lack of willingness to do so in people that used to be the first too .

Numerous articles and statements weaponizing weather events to push an agenda have shown up of late. This is predictable given the time of the year when we are experiencing both hurricane season and and election cyclone. I coined the term, “weaponizing the weather” several years ago and it forms part of the title of my new book. Given the onslaught I see, I almost wish I had not, because it seems people didn’t realize it was a warning, not a recommendation.
It seems we get a new weather exaggeration every day.
Kamala Harris joined in saying, “California, like so many other parts of our country, has experienced extreme weather conditions. It is incumbent on us, in terms of the leadership of our nation, to take seriously these new changes in our climate, and to do what we can to mitigate against the damage.”
So lets deal with some aspects of the horrid wildfires, which for the areas hit hardest, are the worst on record, but cant’ hold a candle to what happened in the 1930s nationally when 4-5 x more acreage burned. I wonder if Senator Harris knows this?
The problem is that you don’t see that part of the graphic that I am showing you here, unless you are reading articles like this. They won’t show you what happened.. And the increase we see the past. few decades is conveniently linked to man-made climate change, case in point what Ms Harris and Gov Newsom are saying. I agree man has something to do with it, but not in the way its being portrayed to a large degree, The man made part has to do with a change in land usage, water usage, inherent in a population that has increased 2 and a half fold since the 1950s!
Journalists used to love to look underneath what they were being told. And the agenda driven zealots weaponizing weather and climate for their own purposes are never going to look at anything that can possibly get in the way of their true goal.
Solet’s look beneath the surface. Summers in the west are always drier compared to their winter seasons. It is overall a dry climate in summer , and patterns can lock in dependent on certain planetary signals. A warm winter in the east for instance is a product of many factors, This years Atlantic hurricane season for instance is countered by what is close to a record LOW year of cyclonic energy in the Pacific basin, which is home to over 75% of global tropical cyclone activity. The planetary tropical energy production is only 60% of average. Very often when the Pacific basin gets shut down, the western Atlantic and gulf become active in the tropics, and , the western US has upper air ridges that are stronger than average. The result is hot dry weathe there. Anyone screaming climate change bringing this up? Any journalist looking at this? Of course not.
Now the last 5 years have been drier than average in the pac northwest, but near average in California:
In addition much of the nation has been wet, OPPOSITE OF WHAT WAS BEING PUSHED AFTER THE HOT DRY SUMMERS OF 2010, 11, and 12.
The 1950s were opposite, dry in California but wet in the north.
The 1930s showed the opposite again.
But look at the large amount of dryness in the nation! In addition summer max temperatures were hotter 1931-1960 over much of the nation:
So the west is warmer the past 30 years, but there is compensating cooling further east.
By the way , the decade of the 30s featured the summers of 1934 and 1936 which had a Palmer drought index like this.
And max temperatures like this.
Imagine a Joe Biden on the campaign trail then. I mean coming out of his basement every now and then, since it would likely be too hot to campaign. And too dusty (height of the dust bowl)
Why is man making it warmer in one place, but cooler in another? Answer: he is not. Why is man making it rain more in one place, not rain as much, then flipping it around? Answer: he is not. Nature is. However none of this is shown because the dogma of this agenda shuts down questioning
So the weather swings back and forth. The perma-drought being forecasted for the plains after the hot dry summers of 2010-2013 reversed the same way it did in the 1950s. California had plenty of rain a couple of years ago to balance their so called permanent drought. But no matter what happens, climate change is blamed. How can you say there is a perma -drought, have it rain, then claim the rain was for the same reason that the perma -drought. Then when it gets dry again, claim that to be your answer. It could snow cheese in Los Angeles and that would be climate change. Its almost like any answer goes. Everyone gets a climate trophy if you blame climate change and the capitalist system that is driving it. But if one simply examines what has happened before, one sees a pattern of back and forth where the swings have been extreme before, and will be so again.
We have something we use called the Palmer drought index ( I showed the mid 1930s above). How come it would be worse now in the west ( though for much of the nation it is great for growing food, something at last look, was a benefit to man not associated with a crisis), than it was in the 30s-50s when rainfall was actually a bit less? Well lets look at the definition.
The Palmer Drought Index is based on a supply-and-demand model of soil moisture. Supply is comparatively straightforward to calculate, but demand is more complicated as it depends on many factors, not just temperature and the amount of moisture in the soil but also hard-to-calibrate factors including evapotranspiration and recharge rates
Recharge rates. Hmm, how much water is coming back into the system.
Well lets see. The population in the late. 1930s, the decade of the most acreage burn in the US, of the 3 west coast states was 8.5 million. In the late 1950s. 18 million Now over 50 million, Can you imagine the demand on the water supply, how much it has increased?
Looks at the 5 year period 1955-1959.
1935-1939.
What happens when it rains too much in the winter? Once the weather warms foliage explodes for a time, but it is going to dry out. In a strange sense, too much rain can lead to enhanced fire seasons, because there is always going to be dry weather, there is always going to be thunderstorms going off that can set this off. Not to mention all the other man-made causes, accidental or in sick cases, arson. In fact look at this statement from the forest service as to what causes most of these fires.
The most common direct human causes of wildfire ignition include arson, discarded cigarettes, power-lines arcs (as detected by arc mapping), and sparks from equipment.
The most common cause of wildfires varies throughout the world. In Canada and northwest China, lightning operates as the major source of ignition.
Forest management, I won’t get into that, I am just bringing up other points that are not considered when wildfires are weaponized for agenda driven purposes
Finally while this year is likely going to be the number one year out of the last 10, the record year of 2017 was. 5 times less than the average of the 1930s as you saw above
So what is the conclusion. 1) No question the climate is changing. it always has and always will. 2) Man is contributing to the problem, but not in the way that is being portrayed as the main reason. More people, more usage, the rise in wildfires the last 20-30 years has coincided with the rise of CO2 and temps in the west, but also the explosion of population. 3) Adaptation, management and progress, not simply a one size fits all draconian solution, is the way to deal with this. Finally, journalist should at least stop and take the time to examine other aspects of this. I never ask anyone to believe what I say, just to look at competing factors.
The total picture is where the answer lies, not just assuming man is now the climate control knob, when he has never been before. Seems a tad arrogant in the face of what is an infinite untamed system. Questioning is what we were taught many years ago and perhaps the biggest aspect of all this is the lack of willingness to do so in people that used to be the first too.

Climate Hustle 2 looks at both popular scientific claims surrounding climate change and examines motivations of those clamoring for immediate action. Featuring leading scientists, politicians and policy experts, and hosted by actor Kevin Sorbo, the film showcases many instances of Hollywood hypocrisy, financial corruption, media bias, classroom indoctrination, political correctness and other troubling matters surrounding the global warming issue.
It also includes yours truly in a few scenes.
Here are two trailers:
More info is available at https://www.climatehustle2.com/
My take on the movie:
This movie covers virtually everything that has ever been said or discussed about climate change. It gives a true perspective of just how hard the media and climate alarmists are pushing an agenda, and how equally hard climate skeptics are pushing back.
If you want rhetoric and doom, watch Al Gore’s movie. If you want a practical and sensible view of what is really happening with climate, watch ClimateHustle2.
We really are being hustled by the left, and it’s depressing to see how much they want iron-fisted climate regulations put on us.

committeeconstructivetomorrowcfactorg--2020-09-22--Do the Hustle! Climate monarchy wants carbon serfdom for you

( Calgary , Alberta ) I wish I could have seen it on the big screen in the theatre as CFACT had planned , but I curled up with my popcorn and YouTube and my private pre-release link back in May , to watch “ Climate Hustle 2 – Rise of the Climate Monarchy ” .
It was astounding .
The planned theatrical release was delayed by lockdowns , but now “ Climate Hustle 2 ” is coming to your home – get your tickets now for the online premiere , September 24 , 2020 !
Get tickets for the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ kicks off this story with some of her witty quips on how the climate elite of the world are planning to make you all into carbon serfs .
Then Kevin Sorbo takes on the Herculean task as host , linking together a global whirlwind tour of climate insanity and dangerous thinking .
The inimitable Marc Morano starts us off in Versailles , posing the notion that the climate elite are well on their way to establishing a new climate monarchy that is based on faulty but frightening scientific premises and media mantras – @ @ @ @ @ @ @ saving the planet .
Money .
Power .
Ideology .
Control .
Of you and me .
The peasants will soon be carbon serfs , allotted an annual ‘ carbon ration ’ , unless we stand our ground .
When some people think of the monarchy , they perhaps think of the hard-working , stoic , benevolent Queen Elizabeth , but climate monarchs are nothing of the kind .
They are the elitist ‘ let them eat cake/off with their heads ’ people , as Climate Hustle 2 reveals .
Numerous celebrities are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do as I say , not as I do ’ – Harrison Ford , James Cameron , Arnold Schwarzenegger and of course Al Gore .
Climate science , public policy , and economics experts and authors like Richard Lindzen , Lord Monckton , Mark Steyn , Don Easterbrook , Ross McKitrick , Judith Curry , and more are peppered throughout the show , highlighting key points and flaws of climate dogma .
Host Kevin Sorbo points out that so much of the climate gig is about conformity .
Tim Ball recounts the tremendous @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from his willingness to challenge the alleged ‘ consensus ’ climate view .
Indeed , the personal price was also high in the old days when anyone challenged the king .
Today ’ s climate monarchs are not much different , with folks like Bill Nye , David Suzuki and Robert Kennedy , Jr. saying those climate dissidents are guilty of “ crimes against humanity ” who should be imprisoned .
In fact , true science progresses through persistent , hard-nosed skepticism .
Climate Hustle 2 explores interesting themes of the religious overtones @ @ @ @ @ @ @ themes of communism .
Vaclav Klaus , former president of the Czech Republic has sobering comments about how hard they struggled to be free of such totalitarianism , and how so many people in the ‘ free ’ West , now willingly fall in line with climate compliance .
If the actual outcomes of ‘ climate action ’ were about mitigating human impact on the planet , that would be one thing , but the series of climate experts shows that climate emergency and catastrophe claims are a charade .
I thought I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wacky ideas pretty well , having worked in it for over a decade , but the collection of “ Bad Ideas ” really blew my mind .
What do these climate monarchs have in mind for you ?
Bugs for supper .
Drugs to make you comply .
Bioengineering to shrink your carbon footprint by shrinking you .
And hey , maybe just getting rid of people .
And the creepiest thing is the influence the climate monarchs have over children .
Holly Swanson , author of “ Training for Treason : The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” talks of the implications for children with this agenda-heavy climate dogma , while climate scientist Judith Curry notes that she sees no reason to teach kids about climate .
As host Kevin Sorbo points out climate monarchs want to “ get ‘ em early ” .
But back to Vaclav Klaus who clearly sees totalitarian , anti-democratic , top-down economic management taking over every part of life though the climate hustle narrative .
We are in a fight for freedom is the ultimate message of the film .
But are we fighting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to get along ?
I was left wondering if we need a new Magna Carta ?
Or shall we just stand up for the old one that destroyed the divine right of kings .
As noted in the opening of my article , I had a pre-screening in May and had ended this review with the statement : “ Past conflicts between kings and peasants led to bloody battles , riots and revolutions .
Let ’ s hope it doesn ’ t come to that.
” – indeed that has come to pass @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the present civil unrest is about climate and racial justice , but is it ?
By Trump pulling out of Paris , he pulled out a bottom card from the Democrat-favored house of global climate carbon trading .
As French economist Henri Lepage wrote this spring , the global recession was occurring before Coronavirus hit – COVID just provided a handy cover for the collapse .
Maybe decades of public moneys being drained through subsidies to renewables , and offsets into carbon markets , which entail ‘ the lack of delivery of an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ finally caught up with the Climate Lords and Ladies – the green crony capitalists – whose personal version of the Mississippi Scheme or Tulip-O-Mania now reaps what they have sown .
Those early Ponzi schemes traded in an invisible promise that relied on mass public delusions , which bankrupted France and Holland in the 1700s and 1600s , led by the wealthy elite .
The carbon con bluff was called by Trump when he pulled out of the Paris Agreement .
The Climate Monarchy are desperate to keep it that Ponzi scheme alive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ meal deal and a rather long film , but well worth it .
Once you see it , you can ’ t unsee the damage the climate monarchy is doing to every aspect of scientific inquiry , to freedom and to democratic society .

As Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said in 2016 , “ that ’ s their job .
”

CFACT mourns the loss of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Justice Ginsburg was a distinguished jurist with whom we often disagreed, but with whom it was an honor to disagree.
President Trump has the authority to nominate Justice Ginsburg’s successor and the Senate has authority to advise and consent. They should both act without delay.
The Constitution is clear, stating the President: “Shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate… Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States.” Article II, Section 2, Clause 2.
American freedom is under assault by a radically left-wing jurisprudence that is actively taught in our schools of law. Our system of checks and balances is out of whack. Radical students become prosecutors who refuse to enforce the law. They become judges who misuse their lifetime appointments by obstructing the Executive Branch from exercising its lawful authority, usurping the powers of elected officials by legislating from the bench, and empowering bureaucracies to infringe our rights by exerting powers far outside the clear meaning of the laws they administer.
There is no more important task than appointing judges who will keep the radicals in check and safeguard our constitutional rights and freedoms.
The Supreme Court will be asked to weigh in on many crucial issues during the next few years. Many are issues in which CFACT has particular expertise. These include:
Legislating from the bench such as through children’s climate lawsuits
Over-regulation and obstruction by misusing essential clean air and water laws and regulations
Safeguarding property rights from assaults by green gadflies who misuse zoning laws, land use laws, or policies such as President Obama’s WOTUS (Waters of the United States) policy which sought to assert federal authority over every muddy ditch and puddle in America
Misuse of the Endangered species Act
Choking off America’s energy supply through baseless obstruction of pipelines
Keeping ANWR (The Alaska National Wildlife Refuge) open to energy extraction while protecting nature at the same time
Imprisoning and fining climate skeptics or the officers of corporations just for correcting the record on climate
Binding America to climate and other treaties without ratification by the Senate
Permitting California to use its size and power to bully other states to accept its radical rules, including “CAFE” (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) standards
If the Supreme Court does not protect us from these and so many more climate and energy injustices, who will? Where does this leave the rest of our rights? Will freedom of speech, for example, remain free?
The sweet friendship between Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Antonin Scalia teaches a great deal about collegiality, respect for others, and how to disagree.
They vacationed together, cooked together, and attended the opera together, even appearing as “supernumaries” (costumed extras) together. They celebrated every New Year’s Eve together.
They certainly would never think of trying to silence each other.
The Supreme Court’s collection includes this remarkable picture of Ruth and “Nino” riding an elephant together in India.
We can all learn a lesson in civility from these two distinguished jurists, may they both rest in peace.
When Justice Scalia passed in 2016, Justice Ginsburg made clear that it is perfectly legal to appoint a justice at any time explaining, “there’s nothing in the Constitution that says the president stops being the president in his last year.”
Should the Senate have the right to vote on the President’s nominee?
As Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said in 2016, “that’s their job.”

In Episode 106 of District of Conservation, Gabriella spoke to Bill Cooksey. Bill is a Sportsmen Outreach Coordinator at Vanishing Paradise, a project of National Wildlife Federation and Ducks Unlimited started in 2009 to advocate for restoration of the Mississippi River Delta. From meeting with legislators at the state Capitol to connecting outdoor industry leaders to the conservation movement, they are educating on the issue of coastal restoration in duck blinds, out on the water and in D.C. — and everywhere in between.
Here’s more on Bill’s background:
From his earliest memories in the river bottoms of West Tennessee, Bill’s life revolved around hunting and fishing. By his teens, he’d hunted ducks in all four flyways and fished from East Tennessee to the Pacific. As an adult, he’s hunted from prairie Canada to the Gulf of Mexico and the Chesapeake to the California Delta, but the Mississippi Flyway was always “home.” His professional career has been in the outdoor industry; from an obscure duck call salesman to Marketing Director at Avery Outdoors to, most recently, Managing Editor of the Mid-South Hunting & Fishing News, communicating with sportsmen has been the key to his success.
Bill and Gabriella were connected by a mutual friend and past guest of the podcast, Travis Thompson. Bill came on to discuss his background—from migrating from the private sector/outdoor industry to the outdoor nonprofit realm, the importance of lobbying (advocacy) lawmakers, the big role sportsmen and women play in environmentalism, and much more.

committeeconstructivetomorrowcfactorg--2020-09-23--CLINTEL puts hard climate questions to Bill Gates

Bill Gates is throwing several billion dollars at climate change .
Mind you he is not throwing it away , because it is mostly venture capital for new energy technologies , which could pay off handsomely without climate change .
Gates can do what he likes with his riches , but he is a leading figure and lately he has become a serious climate change scaremonger .
This has prompted CLINTEL to put some hard questions to him , in the form of a registered .
On the scaremongering side , last month Gates published an claiming that climate change @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Covid outbreak .
He imagines many millions dying from climate change .
The press spread his doomsday words far and wide .
Here are some doomful excerpts : “ I am talking about COVID-19 .
But in just a few decades , the same description will fit another global crisis : climate change .
As awful as this pandemic is , climate change could be worse.
“ “ I realize that it ’ s hard to think about a problem like climate change right now .
When disaster strikes , it is human @ @ @ @ @ @ @ most immediate needs , especially when the disaster is as bad as COVID-19 .
But the fact that dramatically higher temperatures seem far off in the future does not make them any less of a problem—and the only way to avoid the worst possible climate outcomes is to accelerate our efforts now .
Even as the world works to stop the novel coronavirus and begin recovering from it , we also need to act now to avoid a climate disaster by building and deploying innovations that will let us eliminate our greenhouse gas @ @ @ @ @ @ @ understand the kind of damage that climate change will inflict , look at COVID-19 and spread the pain out over a much longer period of time .
The loss of life and economic misery caused by this pandemic are on par with what will happen regularly if we do not eliminate the world ’ s carbon emissions.
” According to Gates ’ , progress is the problem .
He puts it this way : “ These challenges are only getting more urgent .
The world ’ s middle class has been growing at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ move up the income ladder , your carbon footprint expands .
Instead of walking everywhere , you can afford a bicycle ( which doesn ’ t use gas but is likely made with energy-intensive metal and gets to you via cargo ships and trucks that run on fossil fuels ) .
Eventually you get a motorbike so you can travel farther from home to work a better job and afford to send your kids to school .
Your family eats more eggs , meat , and dairy , so they get better nutrition @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for a refrigerator , electric lights so your kids can study at night , and a sturdy home built with metal and concrete .
All of that new consumption translates into tangible improvements in people ’ s lives .
It is good for the world overall—but it will be very bad for the climate , unless we find ways to do it without adding more greenhouse gases to the atmosphere.
” As a rebuttal , the CLINTEL asks him these six central questions : 1 .
How much or how little global warming @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the natural contribution ?
2 .
Why does projected global warming exceed observationally-derived warming by more than 200 % ?
3 .
Have the large benefits of more CO2 in the atmosphere been properly accounted for ?
4 .
Does the cost of attempting to abate global warming exceed the benefit in the avoided cost of adaptation ?
5 .
What of the tens of millions who die every year because they can not afford expensive “ renewable ” electricity and are denied affordable , reliable alternatives ?
6 .
Has history not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ presents a powerful survival and evolutionary strategy ?
“ CLINTEL particularly blames Bill Gates that he takes advantage of his riches-based fame to frighten the public with extreme modeling predictions ( question 2 ) , but does not reassure them with the fact that these scaring modeling results never agreed with observations in practice .
‘ Why this one-sided message , Mr. Gates ?
’ ” It will be interesting to see how Bill Gates responds .
I urge others to send similar letters to the misguided billionaires who are funding the climate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ CLINTEL has posted an of its 900+ international member scientists and related professionals , all signatories to the World Climate Declaration .

Bill Gates is throwing several billion dollars at climate change. Mind you he is not throwing it away, because it is mostly venture capital for new energy technologies, which could pay off handsomely without climate change.
Gates can do what he likes with his riches, but he is a leading figure and lately he has become a serious climate change scaremonger. This has prompted CLINTEL to put some hard questions to him, in the form of a registered letter .
On the scaremongering side, last month Gates published an article claiming that climate change will be far worse than the present Covid outbreak. He imagines many millions dying from climate change. The press spread his doomsday words far and wide.
Here are some doomful excerpts:
“I am talking about COVID-19. But in just a few decades, the same description will fit another global crisis: climate change. As awful as this pandemic is, climate change could be worse.“
“I realize that it’s hard to think about a problem like climate change right now. When disaster strikes, it is human nature to worry only about meeting our most immediate needs, especially when the disaster is as bad as COVID-19. But the fact that dramatically higher temperatures seem far off in the future does not make them any less of a problem—and the only way to avoid the worst possible climate outcomes is to accelerate our efforts now. Even as the world works to stop the novel coronavirus and begin recovering from it, we also need to act now to avoid a climate disaster by building and deploying innovations that will let us eliminate our greenhouse gas emissions.”
“If you want to understand the kind of damage that climate change will inflict, look at COVID-19 and spread the pain out over a much longer period of time. The loss of life and economic misery caused by this pandemic are on par with what will happen regularly if we do not eliminate the world’s carbon emissions.”
According to Gates’ Energy Plan , progress is the problem. He puts it this way:
“These challenges are only getting more urgent. The world’s middle class has been growing at an unprecedented rate, and as you move up the income ladder, your carbon footprint expands. Instead of walking everywhere, you can afford a bicycle (which doesn’t use gas but is likely made with energy-intensive metal and gets to you via cargo ships and trucks that run on fossil fuels). Eventually you get a motorbike so you can travel farther from home to work a better job and afford to send your kids to school. Your family eats more eggs, meat, and dairy, so they get better nutrition. You’re in the market for a refrigerator, electric lights so your kids can study at night, and a sturdy home built with metal and concrete.
All of that new consumption translates into tangible improvements in people’s lives. It is good for the world overall—but it will be very bad for the climate, unless we find ways to do it without adding more greenhouse gases to the atmosphere.”
As a rebuttal, the CLINTEL open letter asks him these six central questions:
1. How much or how little global warming does mankind really cause on top of the natural contribution?
2. Why does projected global warming exceed observationally-derived warming by more than 200%?
3. Have the large benefits of more CO2 in the atmosphere been properly accounted for?
4. Does the cost of attempting to abate global warming exceed the benefit in the avoided cost of adaptation?
5. What of the tens of millions who die every year because they cannot afford expensive “renewable” electricity and are denied affordable, reliable alternatives?
6. Has history not shown us repeatedly that adaptation to change presents a powerful survival and evolutionary strategy?
Professor Guus Berkhout, CLINTEL President, asks a more personal question:
“CLINTEL particularly blames Bill Gates that he takes advantage of his riches-based fame to frighten the public with extreme modeling predictions (question 2), but does not reassure them with the fact that these scaring modeling results never agreed with observations in practice. ‘Why this one-sided message, Mr. Gates?’”
It will be interesting to see how Bill Gates responds. I urge others to send similar letters to the misguided billionaires who are funding the climate false change scare.
In related news CLINTEL has posted an updated listing of its 900+ international member scientists and related professionals, all signatories to the World Climate Declaration. They are listed by nationality, with 34 countries listed to date.


committeeconstructivetomorrowcfactorg--2020-09-23--Australians ready for Climate Hustle 2: Coming Thursday 8pm!

Just in time for the US election .
Climate Hustle 2 is almost a Who ’ s Who of the climate skeptic world .
It ’ s a documentary of the power games , dirty tricks and brazen hypocrisy behind the push for a global governance through the excuse of carbon dioxide .
It ’ s about the way children are used as pawns , trained in schools to “ become a whole generation of obedient voters ” .
It ’ s Eisenhower ’ s warning , and Nineteen Eighty Four .
It ’ s the Rise of the Climate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ circled the world , interviewing everyone from Richard Lindzen , to the late great Bob Carter , to Vauclav Klaus and Patrick Moore , the man Greenpeace erased .
There ’ s Christopher Monckton , Will Happer , Roger Pielke , Tim Ball , Don Easterbrook , Senator Malcolm Roberts , Anthony Watts… too many to name , even briefly , Jo Nova .
This is aimed at a wider audience than the skeptics who will be familiar with the battles of the last ten years .
But even for the die-hards , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ faces to so many names .
Worldwide , the online premiere is set to take place on September 24th at 8 p.m. ( in every time zone around the world … including yours in Australia ! )
.
For those who can ’ t be there at 8pm , the replay of both Climate Hustle 1 & 2 broadcasts will remain viewable through September 27th .
1 hr 35 mins .
Tim Ball : “ Until you push back at Big Government you have no idea how nasty it can get.
” There @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that share the skeptical message .
So support CFACT , Climate Depot , and the team that put it together .
Skeptics need to reach a wider crowd .
There must have been hundreds of hours of footage to condense .
It is an online stream but can , through devices such as Google Chrome Cast , Fire TV , Samsung Smart , ROKU , Apple TV and the rest , or just linked up to your computer , be watched on your regular television .
One ticket will be enough for you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ watch together .
UPDATE : I know skeptics are skeptical of “ preaching to the converted ” — but this documentary is already reaching fence sitters , new skeptics , and people who just haven ’ t paid much attention to the climate debate .
Marc Morano and CFACT are already doing 6 – 10 interviews every single day .
We all benefit from getting past the censors — so put on your “ hats ” and think about ways to use this opportunity .
Suggest avenues in comments .
And it would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a few like minded friends over on Thursday night ( great excuse just to see friends ) and if you do , take a photo , add it on Twitter ( I ’ ll add the right # here ) and show the world that there are lot of skeptics out there , who won ’ t be silenced by the cowards and parasites of facebook , youtube , google , our education sector and the mainstream media .

Just in time for the US election. Climate Hustle 2 is almost a Who’s Who of the climate skeptic world. It’s a documentary of the power games, dirty tricks and brazen hypocrisy behind the push for a global governance through the excuse of carbon dioxide. It’s about the way children are used as pawns, trained in schools to “become a whole generation of obedient voters”. It’s Eisenhower’s warning, and Nineteen Eighty Four. It’s the Rise of the Climate Monarchy.
Marc Morano and CFACT have circled the world, interviewing everyone from Richard Lindzen, to the late great Bob Carter, to Vauclav Klaus and Patrick Moore, the man Greenpeace erased. There’s Christopher Monckton, Will Happer, Roger Pielke, Tim Ball, Don Easterbrook, Senator Malcolm Roberts, Anthony Watts… too many to name, even briefly, Jo Nova. This is aimed at a wider audience than the skeptics who will be familiar with the battles of the last ten years. But even for the die-hards, there’s something good about putting faces to so many names.
Worldwide, the online premiere is set to take place on September 24th at 8 p.m. (in every time zone around the world … including yours in Australia!). For those who can’t be there at 8pm, the replay of both Climate Hustle 1 & 2 broadcasts will remain viewable through September 27th. 1 hr 35 mins.

There have only been a few professional documentaries that share the skeptical message. So support CFACT, Climate Depot, and the team that put it together. Skeptics need to reach a wider crowd. There must have been hundreds of hours of footage to condense.

It is an online stream but can, through devices such as Google Chrome Cast, Fire TV, Samsung Smart, ROKU, Apple TV and the rest, or just linked up to your computer, be watched on your regular television. One ticket will be enough for you and your family and friends to all watch together.

We all benefit from getting past the censors — so put on your “hats” and think about ways to use this opportunity. Suggest avenues in comments. And it would be ideal if you happen to have a few like minded friends over on Thursday night (great excuse just to see friends) and if you do, take a photo, add it on Twitter (I’ll add the right # here) and show the world that there are lot of skeptics out there, who won’t be silenced by the cowards and parasites of facebook, youtube, google, our education sector and the mainstream media.
