John Kerry Talks ‘Great Reset’: ‘We’re at the Dawn of Extremely Exciting Time’ at World Economic Forum

John Kerry : “ The notion of a reset is more important than ever before , ” Kerry said .
“ I personally believe … we ’ re at the dawn of an extremely exciting time.
” “ I know Joe Biden believes this .
It ’ s not enough just to rejoin [ the Paris Climate Agreement ] for the United States .
It ’ s not enough for us to do just the minimum of what [ the agreement ] requires , ” Kerry said .
He went on : `` The Biden administration will focus on every @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will be a 2035 goal to achieve net neutrality with respect to power and production … we ’ re ready to come back in and help to lead and raise the ambition in Glasgow to accelerate this incredible capacity for a transformation in the private sector . ''
Global political elites like European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and former Secretary of State John Kerry view Democrat Joe Biden as a driver of World Economic Forum ’ s “ The Great Reset ” mission that seeks major transformation of the world ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by the World Economic Forum , Kerry said Biden is ready to rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement — which threatens to eliminate more than a million American jobs — and be a driver of the ” Great Reset ” whereby unelected global bureaucrats are looking to alter the world ’ s economy by abolishing money , private property , and democracy for the sake of a “ New World Order , ” according to James Delingpole .
“ The notion of a reset is more important than ever before , ” Kerry said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ re at the dawn of an extremely exciting time.
” Kerry said the U.S. rejoining the job-killing , industry-gutting Parish Climate Agreement is “ not enough.
” “ I know Joe Biden believes this .
It ’ s not enough just to rejoin [ the Paris Climate Agreement ] for the United States .
It ’ s not enough for us to do just the minimum of what [ the agreement ] requires , ” Kerry said .
He went on : Von der Leyen said the European Commission looks forward to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Climate Agreement , calling the former vice president “ President-Elect ” and a “ friend in the White House.
” Part of this new cooperation between a Biden White House and the European Commission , according to von der Leyen , includes writing “ a new rulebook for the digital economy and the digital society.
” She said : So , covering everything from data to infrastructure , but also talking about security and democracy , technology to fair taxation — all of these are topics are on the table with digital change @ @ @ @ @ @ @ need for global cooperation and this acceleration of change will both be drivers of the Great Reset .
And I see this as an unprecedented opportunity .
It ’ s good to have a friend in the White House .
We should not forget what kind of strength we can develop … we need a new agenda and of course , we will have to start with the most pressing issue which is COVID-19 … the second big topic is climate change , fighting climate change … the third topic is the tech @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Economic Forum ’ s “ Build Back Better ” slogan used for the Great Reset by using the phrase on the campaign trail this year .
Kerry also admitted that the rise of the nationalist-populist movement around the world is “ a reflection of the inability of democratic governments in many parts of the world to deliver ” on issues facing their citizens .
“ What astounds me is that as many people still voted for the level of chaos and breach of law and order and breaking the standards and … I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that is something that everybody has to examine , ” Kerry said of the more than 71 million Americans who voted for Trump in the November 3 presidential election .
“ I think Europe has to look at that with Brexit and the rising national populism — nationalistic populism .
Which is really one of the priorities that we all have to address .
You can ’ t dismiss it , ” Kerry said .
The establishment media will play a role in the Great Reset , the World Economic Forum suggests .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ the media sees themselves as rule-makers where they set the national agenda — not Americans .
“ I think in this election you saw major media outlets just much more careful about picking up , for instance , these stories about Hunter Biden just because they were on the internet in a way that Wikileaks came to dominate the campaign last cycle , ” Smith said .
“ I think that you ’ re seeing the mainstream media institutions become a bit more confident in trying to set the national agenda , trying @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the priorities rather than simply reacting to what ’ s happening on social media , ” Smith continued .

Drivers today let rip at Boris Johnson ’ s ‘ Stalinist ’ ban on new petrol and diesel cars from 2030 – warning rushing the transition is impossible and electric vehicles are still too expensive for ordinary Britons .
The PM heralded a ‘ green industrial revolution ’ as he launched a ten-point , £12billion plan for the environment , saying it could create 250,000 jobs and slash the country ’ s carbon emissions .
But the Alliance of British Drivers , condemned the plan as flying in the face of the free market , saying the charging infrastructure was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ whether enough electric vehicles will be in production to meet demand by 2030 , suggesting the costs will be so high that only the ‘ wealthy ’ will be able to drive… Nigel Humphries of the Alliance of British Drivers told MailOnline : ‘ If you ’ ve got to the point that you need to ban something then that shows you ’ ve got no confidence in the alternative .
There ’ s something Stalinist about it .
‘ Where ’ s the free market in all of this that the so-called @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
It ’ s also far , far too early and does not give the motor industry much time to prepare .
‘ There ’ s also something serious that needs to be done with the charging infrastructure if everybody is going to be able to use one.
’ Professor Peter Wells , Director of the Centre for Automotive Industry Research at Cardiff University , told MailOnline : ‘ There are few things that might get in the way of this .
‘ I ’ m not sure the UK industry – including @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be ready to deliver enough electric vehicle by that point .
‘ The chief bottleneck so far is on battery supply .
That is being solved across Europe but we ’ re a bit behind the pace here in the UK .

Repairing and maintaining these cars requires new skills and I ’ m not sure there enough people trained up .

The U.K. will stop selling new diesel and petrol ( gasoline ) cars and vans from 2030 under plans announced by Prime Minister Boris Johnson .
The move is part of a wider 10-point plan for a so-called “ green industrial revolution ” aimed at generating as much as 250,000 jobs and combatting climate change .

Movie Review:  I Am Greta – ‘I don’t want to have to do all this. It’s too much for me, around the clock’

It is not easy being famous – especially if you are a child .
Greta Thunberg , a teenager from Sweden , knows this as well as anyone , and she admits as much during the just-released documentary film by Hulu , I Am Greta , which chronicles her life for little more than one year , as she becomes the world ’ s most famous climate change activist .
To be clear , this film is about the meteoric rise of Greta Thunberg .
It does not discuss science .
It is not about the veracity—or lack thereof—of man-made @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or scholarly defense of climate change assertions .
The film starts out with Greta , then age 15 , sitting by herself in front of the Parliament building in Stockholm , Sweden with a sign , “ School Strike for the Climate.
” It is fall 2018 , just prior to that nation ’ s elections where she hopes to have an impact .
People start to take notice of her , and she makes news .
Her impact on the Swedish elections , the film shows shortly thereafter , is basically nil @ @ @ @ @ @ @ priority , a newscaster is heard saying , as Greta intensely watches the returns from her home .
“ Politicians don ’ t have a single clue about this [ climate ] issue , ” Greta sighs .
Her efforts , though , are not in vain .
A United Nations official named Niclas Svenningsen of the UN Climate Secretariat soon calls to invite her to speak at the upcoming climate conference at Katowice , Poland in December .
This is Greta ’ s big break , and she will soon thereafter become @ @ @ @ @ @ @ she sits next to UN General Secretary Antonio Guterres himself , who listens politely to her brief and pointed remarks .
Before she spoke , the film shows her appalled that the conference is serving meat and dairy .
The film shows her subsequent travels throughout Europe in 2019 , including Brussels , where she visits the European Union ; Paris , where she meets with the President of France , Emmanuel Macron , who is congenial and charming ; and Rome , where she gets brief face time with Pope Francis .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ also makes a cameo appearance in a sit-down with Greta .
During her travels , Greta participates in protests to demand action on the climate , and she is the main attraction .
The crowd in Vatican square repeatedly chants “ Go Greta !
Save the planet !
” Her message is consistent : The planet ’ s tipping point is imminent ; climate change is an existential threat ; change is ( supposedly ) causing floods , hurricanes , droughts and deforestation ; species are dying ; carbon emissions must be reduced @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ failed us ” and are “ behaving like children.
” The film concludes with Greta ’ s triumphant visit to New York City for the UN Climate Action Summit in September 2019 .
It shows her well publicized “ how dare you ” speech , which seemed more petulant than usual .
Her patience was wearing thin , evidently .
“ You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words , ” she says , and accused the planet ’ s political class of “ betrayal.
” The film @ @ @ @ @ @ @ where 7 million people have participated , but that the world has failed to live up to the Paris Climate Accords .
It ’ s quite an amazing year , in fact , for Greta Thunberg .
Though the film does not show this , Time magazine recognized her impact by making her “ Person of the Year ” for 2019 .
This film struck me in several ways that go beyond the extraordinary public appearances and rapid celebrity status attained by this teenager , especially since it came about not for being @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , or in a rock band .
Greta Thunberg is a political activist , and insightful one in some respects ( except for the counter-arguments to climate change ) .
She seems not at all wowed about being among famous and powerful people .
More so , she sees right though many of them by their lack of seriousness and hypocrisy on climate .
While her famous boat trip across the Atlantic Ocean seemed a publicity stunt , she genuinely views air travel as anathema to fighting climate change .
At 16 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ better than most adults .
It seems like politicians “ never heard of the climate crisis because they are not treating it like a crisis , ” Greta said .
“ All they want is to be spotlighted to make it look like they care as if they were doing something .
They know what to say ; they know what sells .
But in fact they ’ re doing nothing.
” Still , plenty of UN bureaucrats , politicians and celebrities in fact want to do plenty by curtailing fossil fuels and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ else .
Unlike most people , they can gladly evade such disruption on themselves .
Lastly , the film provides a confirmation about Greta Thunberg that I ’ ve suspected and written about .
She is a sad and burdened figure , to be pitied .
The film does not sugarcoat this , but reveals it with several poignant moments , which appeared genuine , along with being open about her Asperger ’ s .
This teenager really believes the world is threatened .
Asked about not being in school , she says @ @ @ @ @ @ @ education if there is no future ?
” ( It should be noted the film later shows her academically excelling among her classmates . )
Greta admits , “ I don ’ t like making small talk with people or socializing .
I go quiet.
” Her interest in climate appears to have begun by watching a skewed , exploitive film in elementary school .
“ That was when I started getting depressed ; I got anxiety and stopped eating and stopped talking.
” Though esteemed worldwide , she seems not to have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , she bonds with her dog and her family ’ s horse .
While the film at times showed a happy side of her , she was mostly morose .
On the boat while crossing the Atlantic , she is in tears lamenting , “ It is such a responsibility .
I don ’ t want to have to do all this .
It ’ s too much for me , around the clock.
” This famous , but lonely , often unhappy individual , still only 17 years of age , has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hope Greta Thunberg ’ s celebrity from climate hysteria does not ruin her adulthood as different celebrity youth status did to so many others .

climatedepot--2020-11-20--Rejoining The UN Paris Accord Will Do Nothing For The Climate

“ We ’ ll always have Paris , ” runs the classic line from “ Casablanca , ” and it might as well serve as one of the Biden-Harris administration ’ s central mantras .
Joe Biden promises to aggressively combat climate change , starting by rejoining the Paris Agreement , which Team Trump ditched to the horror of the global cognoscenti .
In 2015 , the Obama administration entered the Paris Agreement .
Unlike treaties , which must be ratified by the US Senate , the Paris Agreement is “ voluntary ” : Each signatory nation vows to reduce @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
China , for example , whose emissions have been increasing rapidly and which in 2019 accounted for 30 percent of global carbon emissions , has “ promised ” to start reducing its emissions by 2030 .
In that respect , the Paris Agreement is no different than those of us who each year , after our excesses during the Thanksgiving-to-Christmas season , promise to lose 10 pounds in the coming year .
Really , we will .
Or think of smokers who promise , promise , promise to quit next year , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you get the idea .
The United States pledged to reduce its greenhouse-gas emissions to just over one-fourth below 2005 levels , which were about 6 billion tons .
By 2019 , thanks in large part to increased natural gas use made possible by hydraulic fracturing ( “ fracking ” ) , US emissions were just under 5 billion tons , a reduction of more than 16 percent .
By way of comparison , in 2019 , world carbon-dioxide emissions were estimated to be just more than 34 billion tons and have been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ over the past 10 years .
All of which is to say that the Paris Agreement ’ s lofty goals are unlikely to be met .
Worse still , even if they are met , the accord will have been as successful at “ solving ” climate change as King Canute was at holding back the tide .
According to the “ Biden Plan for a Clean Energy Revolution and Environmental Justice , ” the Biden administration will rejoin the Paris Agreement and spend $ 1.7 trillion to achieve US commitments over the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ investment will reduce American emissions by 75 billion tons over the next 30 years — all to avoid a global temperature increase of one-tenth of 1 degree Celsius .
That doesn ’ t sound like much .
Moreover , the Earth ’ s temperature can ’ t be measured using a planet-sized thermometer .
Rather , temperature estimates and forecasts of increases are based on statistical models that average surface or atmospheric temperatures over portions of the planet .
And statistics always mean “ noise.
” That avoided one-tenth of 1 degree is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ words , from a statistical standpoint , it ’ s meaningless .
What the Paris Agreement will do is impose huge costs on American consumers and taxpayers , while other countries , not least China , exploit those self-imposed higher costs .
Energy costs will rise as fossil-fuel use is placed in a regulatory stranglehold and huge subsidies for wind and solar energy , electric vehicles , batteries , and much else are shoveled out to the politically well-connected .
And higher energy costs will mean higher costs for , well , just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ medical supplies , you name it .
Those higher costs will reduce US competitiveness .
Manufacturing industries will move abroad in search of more relaxed regulations , eliminating thousands of domestic jobs .
Higher energy costs will mean fewer dollars available to invest elsewhere .
Despite the Biden Plan ’ s promise of endless subsidies to consumers and industries to ease the pain of a green-energy transition , the simple economic fact is that nations can ’ t subsidize their way to prosperity ; there is no free lunch ; the bill will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who will pay ?
Look in the mirror .

Despite all the money-generating gloomy predictions of sinking islands , we reported in 2013 on how the Maldives was planning to build 30 new luxury hotels for future tourists .
The resort island of Landaa Giraavaru ( Baa atoll ) , photo by : Frédéric Ducarme – CC BY-SA 4.0 .
We recall how in 2012 , the former President of the Maldives Islands , Mohamed , Nasheed said : “ If carbon emissions continue at the rate they are climbing today , my country will be underwater in seven years.
” Well , today the islands have not gone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ never before .
And to help with the job of ferrying the 1.7 million ( 2019 ) tourists to and from the resort islands , the Maldives have recently opened 4 new airports , according to German site Aero here !
No , the airports are not designed to evacuate tourists because sea levels are “ rapidly rising ” , as climate alarmists claim .
The airports are a long-term investment aimed at drawing in even more tourists and they are based on the projection that they ’ ll still be very much @ @ @ @ @ @ @ years from now .
Obviously the catastrophic climate warnings are not being heeded .
Most likely these warnings are not really serious at all .
The Maldives comprise 1200 islands , which were made accessible through a total of ten airports .
However , they are not enough to handle the expected traffic .
So four new domestic airports would open this year alone , announced Transportation and Aviation Minister Aishath Nahula , The new airports will feature 2200 meter runways , thus allowing commercial passenger jets to takeoff and land .
According @ @ @ @ @ @ @ news site , some 52 million dollars was financed by Abu Dhabi to cover the construction costs .
Environmentalists expressed anger at the project because “ forests had to be cut down and beaches concreted over ” .

Stay fat if you care about ‘global warming’?! Losing weight releases carbon dioxide – ‘To lose 100 grams of fat, you have to exhale 280 grams of CO2’

When We Lose Weight , Where Does It Go ?
Via The Conversation – By Ruben Meerman and Andrew Brown The world is obsessed with fad diets and weight loss , yet few of us know how a kilogram of fat actually vanishes off the scales .
… So if not energy , muscles or the loo , where does fat go ?
The correct answer is that fat is converted to carbon dioxide and water .
You exhale the carbon dioxide and the water mixes into your circulation until it ’ s lost as urine or sweat .
If @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 8.4kg comes out through your lungs and the remaining 1.6kg turns into water .
In other words , nearly all the weight we lose is exhaled .
This surprises just about everyone , but actually , almost everything we eat comes back out via the lungs .
Every carbohydrate you digest and nearly all the fats are converted to carbon dioxide and water .
The same goes for alcohol .
An average 75kg person ’ s resting metabolic rate ( the rate at which the body uses energy when the person isn ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of carbon dioxide per day .
No pill or potion you can buy will increase that figure , despite the bold claims you might have heard .
The good news is that you exhale 200 grams of carbon dioxide while you ’ re fast asleep every night , so you ’ ve already breathed out a quarter of your daily target before you even step out of bed .
Therefore , to lose 100 grams of fat , you have to exhale 280 grams of carbon dioxide on top of what you ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , no matter what it is .

African Lives Matter Too: New study shows how American clean coal technology can increase access to electricity and cut deaths from indoor air pollution

New study shows how American clean coal technology can increase access to electricity and cut deaths from indoor air pollution Coalition of climate scientists and energy engineers calls on President Trump to “ pardon ” Africa by ending ban on U.S. , World Bank support Arlington , VA .
The CO2 Coalition of 60 climate scientists and energy engineers today released a White Paper showing how American “ high efficiency – low emissions ” power plants can save lives in Africa .
Only a third of Africans have access to electricity , and the World Health Organization estimates that 439,000 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to cook in their homes with wood and dried animal dung .
According to a top researcher for the WHO , “ having an open fire in your kitchen is like burning 400 cigarettes an hour.
” New-tech American Coal-fired Electricity for Africa : Clean Air , Indoors and Out reports on a field visit and interviews at the “ Ultra Super-Critical ” John Turk coal-fired power plant that serves Arkansas , Texas , and Oklahoma .
The plant eliminates virtually all pollutants from its emissions .
The White Paper reviews ten challenges @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would face in the African economic and political context , and calls on the U.S. government to support proposals by African governments to import the American technology .
Under Obama-era policies that are based on computer models that project a future “ climate crisis ” from emissions of a non-polluting plant food , carbon dioxide , U.S. foreign aid agencies currently oppose coal-fired electrical generation in Africa .
As the White Paper shows , international energy agencies agree that Africa will continue to use its abundant , inexpensive coal for electricity for decades @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is exported , China will build the scores of new power plants without pollution controls .
CO2 Coalition chairman Dr. Patrick Moore welcomed the new paper and its proposals : “ It is energy madness and carbon colonialism for the United States to block government financing and World Bank support for the very projects that African governments want , and can operate effectively .
Access to electricity is a basic right , and the key to health and life expectancy in Africa .
As the White Paper concludes , African lives matter , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ White Paper are the Honorable Kathleen Hartnett White , formerly Texas ’ top pollution regulator as chair of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality , and Dr. Caleb Stewart Rossiter , formerly a professor of statistics for public policy at the University of the Western Cape , South Africa .

” Rossiter added : “ The scourge of indoor air pollution I ’ ve seen throughout Africa can be wiped out by universal electrification from coal-fired plants .
With American ‘ scrubbing ’ technology , African governments can also fight another killer at the same time : outdoor air pollution .
President Trump should pardon Africa before he leaves office by issuing an executive order reversing U.S. opposition to clean coal projects there .

Trump : “ To protect American workers , I withdrew the United States from the unfair and one-sided Paris climate accord , a very unfair act for the United States , ” Trump said in a video statement from the White House to the Group of 20 summit hosted by Saudi Arabia ... Trump contended the international accord was “ not designed to save the environment .
It was designed to kill the American economy.
” President Trump took aim Sunday at the Paris climate accord , the 2015 global agreement to designed to curb the effects of climate change @ @ @ @ @ @ @ United States in 2017 , asserting during a virtual statement to the G-20 summit that the pact was designed to “ kill the American economy ” rather than “ save the environment , ” the Associated Press reported .
The United States ’ departure from the agreement was formalized earlier this month .
President-elect Biden has pledged to rejoin the nearly 200 countries that have ratified the agreement on his first day in office in January .
Trump told the summit on Sunday that the U.S. has reduced its carbon emissions more than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on a raw tonnage basis , though the AP noted that when looking at it in terms of percentage reduction in emissions , the U.S. has not been nearly as successful as other nations .
This isn ’ t the first time Trump argued that U.S. participation in the landmark global climate pact would harm the economy .
During an address at the White House in 2017 , he said that the Paris Agreement “ handicaps the United States economy in order to win praise from the very foreign capitals and global activists @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at our country ’ s expense.
” Economists at the London School of Economics noted in August that the economy would actually be better off if the U.S. remained in the Paris Agreement because of the costs to U.S. infrastructure caused by the effects of climate change and the fact that a global policy response is necessary to limit growth in emissions around the world , which will harm the United States regardless of whether or not the U.S. participates in the accord .
The LSE researchers also noted that the requirements of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ achieve ” for the United States since technology costs have fallen so dramatically .

You were warned: COVID lockdowns morph to Climate Lockdowns?! Biden urged to invoke ‘a climate emergency’ – ‘Could give Biden the authority to circumvent Congress’

Bloomberg News : Invoking a climate emergency could give Biden the authority to circumvent Congress and fund clean energy projects , shut down crude oil exports , suspend offshore drilling and curtail the movement of fossil fuels on pipelines , trains , and ships , according to a research note by consulting firm ClearView Energy Partners .
“ The president ’ s powers to address climate change through an emergency are very , very large , ” said Kassie Siegel , an attorney with the environmental group Center for Biological Diversity , which is lobbying Biden ’ s team to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 1 on the list of things the Biden administration should do.

” Progressive environmentalists are mounting a long-shot bid to get President-elect Joe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ czar and declare an environmental national emergency , borrowing a tactic employed by President Donald Trump to fund part of his border wall .
Invoking a climate emergency could give Biden the authority to circumvent Congress and fund clean energy projects , shut down crude oil exports , suspend offshore drilling and curtail the movement of fossil fuels on pipelines , trains , and ships , according to a research note by consulting firm ClearView Energy Partners .

Biden ’ s climate platform includes no mention of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ emergency question could be an early potential source of tension between climate groups and Biden .
It signals the tough fights ahead for the new president , as he walks a line between satisfying activists who backed his campaign and not promoting measures that would draw opposition from more moderate Democrats .
Many environmentalists were pleased to see Biden this week name former Secretary of State John Kerry as special presidential envoy for climate , fulfilling the campaign promise to elevate the issue of global warming to the highest levels of the White @ @ @ @ @ @ @ crisis , President-elect Joe Biden is determined to seize the future now and leave a healing planet to future generations , ” Kerry said Tuesday after being introduced as part of Biden ’ s national security team .
Yet progressives want his administration to go further .
They see the emergency declaration as a way to achieve his ambitious climate agenda , even if legislation is blocked by a Senate potentially controlled by Republicans .
But such a move may fall victim to the political realities left by the election .
“ Declaring @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , alienating the very moderate Senators needed to pass infrastructure and other bills with carbon-reducing provisions , ” said Paul Bledsoe , a former climate official in the Clinton White House , now with the Progressive Policy Institute .
“ Why would Biden borrow from Trump ’ s polarizing playbook , when Biden ’ s trying to actually unite the country to act on climate ?

And other policy shifts he promised , such as halting fracking on federal land , would have to go through a cumbersome , slow-moving regulatory process that complicated some of Trump ’ s own ambitions .
That may not be good enough for progressive environmentalists who say they are counting on Biden to follow through on campaign rhetoric that appealed to climate-minded voters , such as calling global warming “ an existential threat to humanity.

Two candidates who sought the Democratic presidential nomination , Bernie Sanders and Tom Steyer , vowed on the campaign trail to declare climate change a national emergency .

While the Trump administration was similarly challenged over its diversion of funds for the border wall , it ultimately prevailed at the Supreme Court .

“ That strikes me as something that might @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , as part of an effort to goose the re-elect , or the election , of whoever is running.
” Trump declared a national emergency in February 2019 , a move that allowed him to divert some $ 3.5 billion to start construction on the wall along the southern border after Congress refused to appropriate the funding .
The move drew criticism from members of his own party , such as Alaska Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski , who said he was “ overstepping into the legislative prerogative.
” Supporters of the move note @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the past , which are designed to give the executive branch special , temporary powers to deal with a crisis , and dozens of active national emergencies remain .

climatedepot--2020-11-24--IRONY ALERT: Biden’s ‘Climate Czar’ John Kerry Owns $12 Million Beachfront Home

John Kerry , the failed 2004 Democratic presidential candidate , has been named by Joe Biden to serve as a special envoy focused on climate change .
“ Former Secretary of State John Kerry will fight climate change full-time as Special Presidential Envoy for Climate and will sit on the National Security Council , ” the Biden-Harris transition team announced on Monday on its website .
“ This marks the first time that the NSC will include an official dedicated to climate change , reflecting the president-elect ’ s commitment to addressing climate change as an urgent national security issue.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ changers is that sea levels are going to rise dramatically , with one estimate saying the levels will jump by six feet or more by 2100 .
Kerry himself has been pushing the idea .
“ We have people who still deny this : Members of the flat earth society who seem to believe that the ocean rise won ’ t be a problem because the water will just spill over the edge , ” Kerry said in 2015 at a United Nations Foundation meeting in Paris on the health of the world @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the dire predictions , one might wonder why Kerry owns a beachfront home in Martha ’ s Vineyard , Mass .
In 2017 , Kerry bought historic waterfront property at Seven Gates Farm in Chilmark .
Using a private realty trust , Kerry paid $ 11.75 million for 18.5 acres and a house overlooking Vineyard Sound .
“ The seven-bedroom house dates to 1924 and sits on one of 39 original sites that were created over time by the Seven Gates Farm Corporation on land originally collected by Nathaniel Shaler in the 19th @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ The Seven Gates Farm property is tucked into a rolling hillside with distant views of the Elizabeth islands , where Mr. Kerry , a member of the Forbes family on his mother ’ s side , has long ties.
” The ironic juxtaposition caught the attention of Charlie Kirk , a conservative commentator and founder of Turning Point USA .
“ If Joe Biden ’ s special ‘ Climate Envoy , ’ John Kerry , actually believed in Global Warming & rising sea levels , why would he live in a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Martha ’ s Vineyard ?
” Kerry ’ s house is not far from the mansion bought by former President Barack Obama , who famously declared that his 2008 election marked “ the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal.
” The Obamas bought a 29-acre beachfront plot with a nearly 7,000-square-foot main house .
It ’ s got seven bedrooms and 8½ bathrooms , TMZ reported last year .
But Obama spent eight years in the White House saying melting ice caps @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at some point washing over islands and pushing into oceanside communities .
Take a look here .
That , too , drew reaction on social media .
“ If you truly believe that climate change is going to be as devastating as the pundits are saying ( ex : the island of Manhattan will soon be underwater ) , why would you gamble $ 15M to buy an island estate directly on the water ?

climatedepot--2020-11-24--Sen. Whitehouse Threatens to Prosecute Climate Skeptics If Dems Take Senate

U.S .
Senator Sheldon Whitehouse ( D-RI ) threatened climate realists with criminal prosecution in an interview with E & E News , published yesterday .
Whitehouse said Democrats gaining control of the U.S. Senate would be key to launching investigations , hauling climate realists in front of Senate show trials , “ or even potentially in grand juries.
” E & E News reported Whitehouse is “ keen on investigating the fossil fuel industry and what he sees as a massive conspiracy of dark money hindering action on climate change.
” In the interview , Whitehouse said : “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with all of the tools at our disposal , then that machinery will continue undisturbed to do its dirty work of denial and obstruction , ” Whitehouse said .
“ If it ’ s having to explain itself to legislative committees , or produce discovery about its activities in litigation , or even potentially in grand juries , then there ’ s a whole different complexion to our prospects going forward.
” Whitehouse explicitly singled out The Heartland Institute , which publishes ClimateRealism.com , for his threats .
“ Who funded 200,000 fake @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to schoolteachers all around the country ?
That ’ s a hell of a big expense… , ” Whitehouse said .
Whitehouse appears to be referencing Heartland sending 300,000 copies of the book , Why Scientists Disagree About Global Warming , to K-through-12 and college science teachers throughout America .
The book was co-authored by Ph.D. climate scientists S. Fred Singer , Robert Carter , and Craig Idso .
Whitehouse does not appear to have a climate science Ph.D. degree .
Ironically , Whitehouse revealed his fascination with “ dark money ” conspiracy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ prosecute people on the basis of his conspiracy theories , on the same day billionaire tech baron Jeff Bezos announced the first distributions from a $ 10 billion fund Bezos has set aside to advance climate alarmism .
Recipients of Bezos ’ money include dark-money climate activist groups ClimateWorks Foundation , Environmental Defense Fund , Natural Resources Defense Council , Union of Concerned Scientists , World Resources Institute , and World Wildlife Fund – none of which publicly disclose the full list of their donors .
The costs for The Heartland Institute publishing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Warming came up somewhat short of $ 10 billion .
The Heartland Institute has an annual budget that varies between $ 3 million and $ 7 million , not $ 10 billion .

The ‘ Danmask-19 trial ’ was conducted in the spring with over 6,000 participants , when the public were not being told to wear masks but other public health measures were in place .
Unlike other studies looking at masks , the Danmask study was a randomised controlled trial – making it the highest quality scientific evidence .

In the end , there was no statistically significant difference between those who wore masks and those who did not when it came to being infected by Covid-19 .
1.8 per cent of those wearing masks caught Covid , compared to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
As a result , it seems that any effect masks have on preventing the spread of the disease in the community is small .

The results of the Danmask-19 trial mirror other reviews into influenza-like illnesses .

Do face masks work ?
Earlier this year , the UK government decided that masks could @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and made masks mandatory in a number of public places .
But are these policies backed by the scientific evidence ?
Yesterday marked the publication of a long-delayed trial in Denmark which hopes to answer that very question .
The ‘ Danmask-19 trial ’ was conducted in the spring with over 6,000 participants , when the public were not being told to wear masks but other public health measures were in place .
Unlike other studies looking at masks , the Danmask study was a randomised controlled trial – making it the highest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ those in the trial received 50 disposable surgical face masks , which they were told to change after eight hours of use .
After one month , the trial participants were tested using both PCR , antibody and lateral flow tests and compared with the trial participants who did not wear a mask .
Randomised trials are important if we want to understand the impact of measures like face masks In the end , there was no statistically significant difference between those who wore masks and those who did not when it came @ @ @ @ @ @ @ per cent of those wearing masks caught Covid , compared to 2.1 per cent of the control group .
As a result , it seems that any effect masks have on preventing the spread of the disease in the community is small .
Some people , of course , did not wear their masks properly .
Only 46 per cent of those wearing masks in the trial said they had completely adhered to the rules .
But even if you only look at people who wore masks ‘ exactly as instructed ’ , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the results : 2 per cent of this group were also infected .
When it comes to masks , it appears there is still little good evidence they prevent the spread of airborne diseases .
The results of the Danmask-19 trial mirror other reviews into influenza-like illnesses .
Nine other trials looking at the efficacy of masks ( two looking at healthcare workers and seven at community transmission ) have found that masks make little or no difference to whether you get influenza or not .
But overall , there is a troubling @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Covid-19 .
There have only been three community trials during the current pandemic comparing the use of masks with various alternatives – one in Guinea-Bissau , one in India and this latest trial in Denmark .
The low number of studies into the effect different interventions have on the spread of Covid-19 – a subject of global importance – suggests there is a total lack of interest from governments in pursuing evidence-based medicine .
And this starkly contrasts with the huge sums they have spent on ‘ boutique relations ’ consultants advising @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have shown masks to be effective at stopping airborne diseases have been ‘ observational ’ – which observe the people who ordinarily use masks , rather than attempting to create a randomised control group .
These trials include six studies carried out in the Far East during the SARS CoV-1 outbreak of 2003 , which showed that masks can work , especially when they are used by healthcare workers and patients alongside hand-washing .
But observational studies are prone to recall bias : in the heat of a pandemic , not very many @ @ @ @ @ @ @ used masks and at what distance they kept from others .
The lack of random allocation of masks can also ‘ confound ’ the results and might not account for seasonal effects .
A recent observational study paper had to be withdrawn because the reported fall in infection rates over the summer was reverted when the seasonal effect took hold and rates went back up .
This is why large , randomised trials like this most recent Danish study are so important if we want to understand the impact of measures like face @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it is too difficult to wait for randomised trials – but Danmask-19 has shown that these kind of studies are more than feasible .
And now that we have properly rigorous scientific research we can rely on , the evidence shows that wearing masks in the community does not significantly reduce the rates of infection .
Due to the large number of people passing comment on the article on social media without reading it , we have updated the headline to emphasise that the study is about facemask .
Covid data can be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ New York Times : A New Study Questions Whether Masks Protect Wearers .
You Need to Wear Them Anyway .
– Masks prevent people from transmitting the coronavirus to others , scientists now agree .
But a new trial failed to document protection from the virus among the wearers .
Researchers in Denmark reported on Wednesday that surgical masks did not protect the wearers against infection with the coronavirus in a large randomized clinical trial .
But the findings conflict with those from a number of other studies , experts said , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ recommendations in the United States .
The study , published in the Annals of Internal Medicine , did not contradict growing evidence that masks can prevent transmission of the virus from wearer to others .
But the conclusion is at odds with the view that masks also protect the wearers — a position endorsed just last week by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention .
Critics were quick to note the study ’ s limitations , among them that the design depended heavily on participants reporting their own test results and behavior @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and infection were rare in Denmark .
Coronavirus infections are soaring throughout the United States , and even officials who had resisted mask mandates are reversing course .

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus made the comments on Twitter after news broke of several new vaccines said to be effective in fighting COVID-19 coming closer to fruition .
“ Since the beginning of the # COVID19 pandemic , we knew that a vaccine would be essential for bringing the pandemic under control .
But it ’ s important to emphasise that a vaccine will complement the other tools we have , not replace them , ” said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that quarantines , surveillance , contact tracing and other measures would all be continued even after vaccine uptake becomes widespread .
As we have exhaustively highlighted , numerous other prominent individuals have asserted that rolling lockdowns , mask wearing , social distancing and other restrictions are here to stay after the pandemic is over .
In his book Covid-19 : The Great Reset , World Economic Forum globalist Klaus Schwab asserts that the world will “ never ” return to normal , despite him admitting that coronavirus “ doesn ’ t pose a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Army official also said that mask wearing and social distancing will become permanent , while CNN ’ s international security editor Nick Paton Walsh asserted that the mandatory wearing of masks will become “ permanent , ” “ just part of life , ” and that the public would need to “ come to terms with it .

Sen. Chris Coons Wants Twitter to Hide Reality of ‘Global Warming’ – ‘Demanded of Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey that the social media giant ban statements that deny that climate change presents an existential threat’

Sen. Chris Coons Wants Twitter to Hide Reality of ‘ Global Warming ’ CO2 Coalition / by CO2Coalition / By David Simon During a recent Senate Judiciary Committee hearing , Senator Chris Coons demanded of Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey that the social media giant ban statements that deny that climate change presents an existential threat .
“ You do , Mr. Dorsey , have policies against deep fakes or manipulated media , against COVID-19 misinformation , against things that violate civic integrity , but you don ’ t have a stand-alone climate change misinformation policy .
Why not ?
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ apocalyptic terms .
“ I can not think of a greater harm than climate change , which is transforming literally our planet and causing harm to our entire world .
I think we ’ re experiencing significant harm as we speak.
” Eliminating debate about climate change is essential , Coons insisted .
“ I recognize the pandemic and misinformation about COVID-19 , manipulated media also cause harm , but I ’ d urge you to reconsider that because helping to disseminate climate denialism in my view further facilitates and accelerates one of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” Instead of saving the world , the ban that Coons demands would suppress discussion of facts that eviscerate his claim that climate change is leading to global doom .
He would have Twitter ban distribution of a 2017 statement by some of the world ’ s most eminentscientists – such as Richard Lindzen of MIT , William Happer and the late Freeman Dyson of Princeton , the late Fred Singer of the University of Virginia , and Judith Curry of Georgia Tech – that “ [ o ] bservations [ over the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ warming from increased atmospheric CO2 will be benign … ” Twitter could not be used to share the study by 22 scientists from around the world , published in 2015 by the British medical journal The Lancet , that found that cold kills over 17 times more people than heat .
Of over 74 million deaths in Australia , Brazil , Canada , China , Italy , Japan , South Korea , Spain , Sweden , Taiwan , Thailand , the United Kingdom , and the United States in 1985-2012 , cold caused @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 0.42 percent .
And of the temperature-related deaths , “ moderately hot and cold temperatures ” caused 88.85 percent , while “ extreme ” temperatures caused only 11.15 percent .
Nor could one tweet evidence that while NASA data show that the planet ’ s temperature has risen by 1.25 degrees Celsius since 1920 , the effects have been beneficial rather than harmful .
As world population has quadrupled from less than two billion to over seven and half billion since 1920 , EM-DAT ( The International Disaster Database ) data show that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ disasters has declined by over 80 percent , from almost 55,000 per year to less than 10,000 per year .
Data compiled by University of Oxford economist Max Roser and researcher Hannah Ritchie show that since 1990 , the global air pollution death rate has declined by almost 50 percent , from 111.28 to 63.82 deaths per 100,000 people .
Oxford ’ s Roser also has reported that the share of people living in extreme poverty fell from 67 percent in 1950 to less than 10 percent by 2015 .
Based on his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Coons undoubtedly also would have Twitter ban discussion of studies showing that if future global warming has any negative impact on the nation ’ s economy , it will be minimal .
A 2019 National Bureau of Economic Research study estimated that if the planet ’ s temperature rises by 0.01 degrees Celsius per year through 2100 , total U.S. GDP in 2100 will be 1.88 percent lower in 2100 than it would otherwise be .
But by 2100 , with the 1.4 percent annual real long-term potential labor force productivity growth @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , U.S. GDP per person will be about 204 percent higher .
And it will still be about 200 percent higher after NBER ’ s 1.88 percent reduction based on global warming .
Even NBER ’ s extreme case projection that total U.S. GDP will be 10.52 percent lower in 2100 than it would otherwise be if the planet ’ s temperature rises by 0.04 degrees Celsius per year ( over three times the actual rate of increase since 1920 ) similarly would leave U.S. GDP per person about 172 percent higher .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ negative impact that climate change may have , U.S. income per person in 2100 will be about triple today ’ s level .
The facts at least cast serious doubt about predictions that climate change means global doom .
That ’ s the real reason that Senator Coons wants to ban discussion about them on Twitter .

climatedepot--2020-11-27--Delingpole: The Green Agenda IS the Great Reset

The green agenda IS the Great Reset .
One of the few political leaders who gets this is Donald Trump .
On Sunday he warned in a video statement from the White House to the Group of 20 summit hosted by Saudi Arabia that the Paris Climate Agreement was ‘ not designed to save the environment .
It was designed to kill the economy.
’ This is fair comment for reasons I have outlined many times before ( eg here , here and here ) .
If the U.S. had remained a signatory it would have ceded huge competitive advantage @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to no useful purpose .
After all , as Bjorn Lomborg once calculated , even if every country in the world sticks to its carbon reduction targets agreed at Paris , the best-case scenario is that it might reduce global warming by the end of the century by 0.170 degrees C. This is a difference so small it will be barely measurable and certainly not noticeable – at a cost to the global economy of perhaps $ 1.5 trillion per year.https : //8eeed24e6986864dae9e6928a8e19c4d.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-37/html/container.htmlhttps : //platform.twitter.com/embed/index.html ?

One might well ask the same question of the policies recently announced by the government in my own country , the United Kingdom .
Here Boris Johnson ’ s ‘ Conservative @ @ @ @ @ @ @ petrol-powered cars must be phased out from 2030 , as part of a 10-point plan for a ‘ green industrial revolution ‘ including more wind farms , more ‘ green finance ’ , more money spent on public transport and cycle lanes , more ‘ investment ’ in dubious ( and so far , highly unsuccessful ) technologies like ‘ Carbon Capture.
’ Do these sound like ‘ conservative ’ policies to you ?
https : //8eeed24e6986864dae9e6928a8e19c4d.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-37/html/container.html Do you think all those working-class ‘ Red Wall ‘ voters in the Midlands and the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Conservatives in 2019 , many for the first time , did so in the hope that Johnson would drive up their heating bills or confiscate their petrol cars and force them to buy electric ones they could never hope to afford ?
Does this sound like a recipe for an economic revival — higher taxes , more government subsidies — after the slump caused by the government ’ s draconian lockdown policies ?
If you answered ‘ yes ’ to any of these questions than I have a magnificent range of very competitively @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sell you .
As Matt Ridley cogently argues here , there could scarcely be a more effective way of killing Britain ’ s post-Brexit future than implementing Boris Johnson ’ s green revolution .
My fear is that we will carry out Boris ’ s promised 10-point plan , cripple our economy , ruin our seascapes and landscapes , and then half way through the 2030s along will come cheap , small , safe fusion reactors .
The offshore wind industry , by then so stuffed with subsidies they can afford to lobby @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do to today , will suck their teeth and say : “ no , no , no – ignore the fusion crowd .
We ’ re on the brink of solving the reliability issue , and don ’ t worry , the cost will come down eventually .
Promise !
” Boris , this is not the way to the promised land , especially when the government is borrowing £300 billion because of covid .
High-cost electricity will prevent the United Kingdom making a success of Brexit .
It will bankrupt us in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ competitive in the long run and not cut emissions much anyway .
Indeed .
One theory has it that it ’ s all down to the influence of Boris ’ s green activist girlfriend Carrie Symonds , her worryingly powerful chum in the House of Lords Zac Goldsmith , and to Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Michael Gove , who was memorably pictured last year with a bunch of fellow eco-loon MPs drooling over the Doom Goblin Greta Thunberg.https : //8eeed24e6986864dae9e6928a8e19c4d.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-37/html/container.html But it ’ s actually much more sinister – and global @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just in the U.S. and the UK that this embrace of the green agenda is taking place .
It ’ s happening across Europe , and around the world from Australia to Canada .
In terms of saving the environment it makes no sense : why would you erect more bat-chomping , bird-slicing eco-crucifixes if you cared about wildlife and nature ?
In terms of delivering a better world for voters it makes no sense either : it will just mean more restrictions , higher taxes , higher energy bills , less foreign @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : //platform.twitter.com/embed/index.html ?

Man-made global warming was never a plausible threat ( existing only in the computer modelled projections of parti-pris activist scientists .
And we know all about them don ’ t we , Neil Ferguson ? )
.
But it was , for decades , a handy pretext for concerted action by governments all over the world , under the auspices of organisations like the UN and its various COP @ @ @ @ @ @ @ prices and increase state rules and regulations , and enrich crony corporatists , under the pretence that it was being done to save the planet .
But what is these globalists ’ ultimate goal ?
And why is environmentalism such a key part of their plan ?
For this , you ’ ll have to wait for my next piece , when I tell you about the most extraordinary and revealing interview I conducted with Patrick M Wood , who has been studying this phenomenon since it began in the early Seventies .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ sounds like a dystopian fantasy – like Aldous Huxley ’ s Brave New World .
Unfortunately , the crazies backing this Great Reset are all too serious .
They ’ ve got the money , they ’ ve got the power and with just a bit more time they ’ re going to get their way… Unless , of course , we inform ourselves what they ’ re up to and take preventive measures before it ’ s too late .

John Kerry, Climate Czar in Waiting: ‘Kerry is both a partner and a puppet in the American oligarchy, which means he will do whatever is in his personal best interests, as well as whatever he is told to do’

A punitively high cost of living is the result of conscious political choices , and the primary force behind these choices is not desire to protect the environment , it is greed .
Never mind ballots arriving by the hundreds of thousands at 4 a.m. after “ counting was stopped for the night , ” but only in swing states .
Never mind voting machines that , apparently , any moderately talented nerd can hack and cook .
Never mind “ tranches ” of votes , by the thousands and all for Biden , erroneously stacking the tallies because of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ registration , ballot harvesting , no voter ID requirements , or missing signatures and postmarks .
Never mind that Trump earned nearly 6 million votes in California , a 35 percent improvement over his 2016 performance , actually increasing his share of total votes from 31.6 to 34.3 percent , yet lost in fracking Pennsylvania .
Never mind .
Prepare for a Biden presidency , and a Biden cabinet .
In other words , just rely on the “ nonpartisan ” experts and ignore your lying eyes .
Assume Joe Biden really is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ President-Elect ” and assume what he proclaims today will become policy on January 21 .
Consider the gang that will surround this amiable but senescent old crook .
In particular , consider Biden ’ s incoming cabinet , undoubtedly destined to include a mandatory assortment of race-baiting blowhards , gender obsessed fanatics , gun grabbers , abortion extremists , government union overseers , ambulance chasers , corporate cronies , Chinese operatives , bankers , billionaires , and grasping bureaucrats .
And while you ’ re at it , consider Biden ’ s choice @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Kerry .
The first thing to understand about Kerry is that he is an inside member of the establishment uniparty that was horrified by Trump ’ s impudent decision to actually take seriously his job as president of the United States .
Kerry , who married into the aristocratic Heinz family , has a personal net worth estimated in excess of $ 250 million .
Unlike Trump , Kerry is both a partner and a puppet in the American oligarchy , which means he will do whatever is in his personal best interests @ @ @ @ @ @ @ told to do .
Rarely if ever will those agenda items diverge.about : blank Whether it involves prosecuting yet another endless overseas war , or , more to the point , morphing the great American COVID lockdown into phase two—the great American climate lockdown—Kerry will put the oligarchy first , and America last .
Count on it .
The beating that ordinary Americans have taken over the past year understandably has diverted their attention from the coming “ climate emergency.
” Americans have watched helplessly as well-funded , violent mobs pulled down symbols @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vandalizing property , sometimes burning buildings to the ground , bellowing intense hatred for every cherished American institution and tradition .
Americans watched as the media either ignored this orchestrated nationwide mayhem , or downplayed it , or even pretended it was caused by Trump and his supporters .
Americans have endured a virus that has killed hundreds of thousands , prompted an endless “ lockdown , ” and driven hundreds of thousands into bankruptcy and madness .
There ’ s no end in sight .
So Americans can be forgiven for not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ front of mind .
But if and when Biden takes charge , and turns John Kerry loose , that will change .
The True Motivation for the Climate Emergency Anyone with a shred of intellectual honesty who bothers to read dissenting expert viewpoints on the issue of anthropogenic climate change knows that debate still rages as to the severity , the causes , and the appropriate responses .
Excellent recent books on the topic , contrarian but scrupulously researched , include Apocalypse Never , by Michael Shellenberger , and False Alarm , by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ progressive who was once honored as a Time magazine “ Hero of the Environment , ” argues , using the IPCC ’ s own data , that the projected severity of climate change is greatly overstated , and explains how much environmental damage occurs when people in the developing world are denied access to conventional energy including hydroelectric and nuclear power .
Lomborg , a Danish economist with impeccable credentials , argues not only that climate change is a phenomenon that humanity can adapt to with relative ease , but that the policies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ climate change yield absurd cost/benefit ratios , and explains how directing money and resources to other compelling global objectives would be far more productive .
There are plenty of other reputable climate skeptics , or climate realists , or , perhaps most transgressive of all , optimists , who still patiently argue for practical spending on cost-effective infrastructure instead of a mad , panic-stricken rush into political and economic tyranny .
Listen to these voices of reason while you still can .
Because the real reason for climate alarm is all about money @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have plenty of both , but they want it all , and the “ climate emergency ” is how they ’ re going to get it .
There are obvious upsides to “ climate mitigation ” for several powerful special interest groups .
It ’ s a gold mine for the public sector , which expands its ranks in order to intrude into every segment of our lives and help us “ manage ” our consumption .
Everything we do becomes the business of government enforcers , from when and how much water @ @ @ @ @ @ @ how much we travel .
Even the size of our windows or the types of outdoor landscaping we tend will come under their scrutiny .
about : blank But when it comes to coping with the “ climate emergency , ” industry is a willing partner to government .
Think about it .
Everything has to be reinvented and replaced , because everything is suddenly obsolete , wasteful , exploitative , and immoral .
The homes we live in , our workplaces , our home appliances , our vehicles , all of it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ obsolescence , ” something that leftists used to decry back in the days before they merged with corporate America , is now considered a virtuous feature .
Joining manufacturers as a critical original equipment manufacturer is the tech sector , ready to ensure that everything we use , from our car to our coffeemaker , is wired to the internet .
And to help us out , the software that is suddenly necessary to run a toaster will have to be updated periodically , requiring us to no longer own our appliances , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ streams .
Micromanaged consumption .
The planet is saved .
But there ’ s a deeper motivation at work behind the public narrative of the climate alarmists .
It ’ s connected to the financialization of the American economy .
The debt binge that began in the 1980s under Reagan and which has enjoyed bipartisan continuity ever since , depends on federal deficits and trade deficits to maintain America ’ s economic growth .
The primary beneficiaries of America ’ s debt binge have been government workers , very large corporations , banks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gone down for ordinary workers .
But to keep the debt party going , America needs more collateral to borrow against .
Enter artificial scarcity .
It starts with real estate , America ’ s biggest asset .
The Synergy of a Financialized Economy and Climate Alarm In the name of environmental protection , and now even more urgently in the name of fighting “ climate change , ” and on a fraudulently thin but nonetheless unchallenged scientific basis , America ’ s cities are being cordoned off .
As America ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the preponderance of new real estate development occurs within the footprint of existing cities , causing the value of housing and commercial properties to rise because demand is increasing but supply is forcibly limited .
As assessments go up , additional borrowing collateral is created.about : blank The equation is simple : When politically contrived artificial scarcity is imposed on a market , an asset bubble is formed .
As long as the scarcity can be maintained , the bubble will expand .
The beneficiaries of a real estate bubble are public entities @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on higher assessments , thanks to the inflated values .
Public sector pension funds also benefit , because their real estate portfolios benefit from the asset appreciation .
Needless to say , private speculators and investors also benefit from a rising housing market , but its impact on the average homeowner is a slow train wreck .
When consumers borrow , home equity is their collateral .
It might seem logical that rising home values would benefit consumers .
But people trying to buy homes can not afford them , or they manage @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mortgage payments .
And an often unavoidable debt trap is imposed on those people who bought their homes when they were still affordable .
If they are typical middle-class Americans , their property values have risen , as has the cost-of-living ( including property taxes ) , while their inflation-adjusted wages have fallen .
So they borrow against their rising home equity in order to pay their bills , and America ’ s financialized economy keeps spinning .
Caught in an unavoidable spiral of debt accumulation , by the millions , Americans sink @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the consequence of artificial scarcity , designed to sustain a financialized economy that is addicted to debt accumulation .
Climate change is just the moral rationalization that enables a few more innings of this unsustainable game .
And the imposition of artificial scarcity is not confined to real estate .
A similar profiteering opportunism underscores the renewables and conservation mania .
Not only do high tech companies capitalize on fantastic opportunities to sell gadgets to create a panopticon of energy surveillance a la the “ internet of things , ” where every home @ @ @ @ @ @ @ utilities .
At the same time the highly regulated public utilities are offered spectacular new avenues for higher profits , because while their profit percentages are fixed , and the units of energy they can generate are fixed , when they sell expensive renewable energy to the consumer instead of inexpensive natural gas or nuclear power , they can still double their revenues and profits .
In the name of saving the earth , a collection of special interests share the same goal : make water , energy , transportation , and housing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Increase regulations and unleash an avalanche of lawsuits so only the biggest , most resilient corporations survive and emerging competitors are crushed .
In California , and increasingly in other states , a punitively high cost of living is the result of conscious political choices , and the primary force behind these choices is not desire to protect the environment , it is greed .
The people who profit by artificial , contrived scarcity don ’ t want anything to change .
They are government employee unions , utility companies , trial lawyers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and billionaires who already own the artificially limited supplies of land and housing .
Does that sound like the potentially incoming Biden cabinet ?
And if a “ climate emergency ” is declared , expect this so-called “ great reset ” to take place without any constitutional checks to slow its implementation or its scope.about : blank “ Climate change is a threat multiplier for pandemic diseases , and zoonotic diseases—70 percent of all human infections—are impacted by climate change and its effect on animal migration and habitats.
” Got that ?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ climate emergency , ” it will be a “ health emergency.
” Good luck falling back on the Bill of Rights when you ’ re up against two declared federal emergencies .
Climate change mitigation is a scheme to take from the have nots , and transfer it to the haves .
To accomplish this , epic , world-class creativity has been harnessed .
Perhaps among all the methods by which this redistribution of wealth from the middle class to the super rich will occur , nothing tops the proposed sale of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ auctions ” trading ever takes hold nationally , it will launch the biggest skim operation in the history of the world .
In this extraordinarily comprehensive system of economic control , every molecule of carbon embodied in every joule of energy will have to be reported , using a preposterously complex , eminently corruptible if not completely fraudulent new form of financial accounting .
Every “ carbon unit ” will have to be tracked , so that rights to produce and consume them can be traded on an exchange , with Wall Street @ @ @ @ @ @ @ time .
All of this will be implemented and operated at stupefying expense .
Imagine the tens of trillions of dollars in annual transactions that will pass through this gauntlet , and you can better understand the slavering lust with which the financial community anticipates a Biden presidency .
John Kerry represents not the lunatic fringe of Biden ’ s budding entourage of administration insiders , but rather its larcenous core .
Kerry , because of the “ climate emergency ” measures we may expect him to implement , is the most dangerous @ @ @ @ @ @ @ alternative to this madness .
The government could partner with unions and private civil engineering firms in a grand bargain to construct cost-effective conventional energy infrastructure , along with upgraded water and transportation infrastructure .
Instead of rationing , produce more .
Instead of enforcing artificial scarcity , create abundance .
Build enabling infrastructure and let the private sector compete again to profitably build homes that ordinary workers can afford .
This is a virtuous , public-minded scheme that Joe Biden is old enough to remember .
It worked back in the 1950s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we ’ re still living on .
That is the “ build back better ” investment that could be a genuine gift to the American people .
Don ’ t hold your breath .
You will be fighting , like Trump was , against the bureaucrats , the bankers , and the billionaires .
The privileged elites are doing just fine , feeding off the dying remains of the American middle class .
They aren ’ t about to let a populist movement , including any practical public policies that such a movement @ @ @ @ @ @ @ And as they stigmatize their critics as “ climate deniers , ” they are the true deniers , ignoring a debt tsunami that is a far more imminent threat than rising oceans .
They weren ’ t just coming for Trump .
They are coming for you.about : blank It is terribly ironic that the militant wing of the Democratic Party , soon to militantly back whatever John Kerry proclaims as our “ climate czar , ” bills itself as “ anti-fascist.
” Because the “ climate emergency , ” ultimately , is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an economic context .
As political fascism , it relies on crisis , fear , scapegoating , and simple but transformative “ solutions.
” As economic fascism , it concentrates power in the hands of the state , with industrialists and bankers as senior partners .
Remember that , if the day arrives when you have to listen to John Kerry , “ climate czar , ” spew forth self-righteous exhortations in the name of supposedly protecting the planet .
