While there are legitimate concerns, certain politicians and scientists have exaggerated them for financial and political reasons.

Climate catastrophism has grown into a global grift, with poor countries demanding billions in “reparations” from nations with functioning markets, but consider climate alarmism’s role in American politics. For decades, the Environmental Protection Agency and related government bodies have doled out grants to climate-related nonprofits that return the favor by churning out apocalyptic reports about an always-imminent climate crisis. The 2022 Inflation Reduction Act supersized that effort. In 2023, the Biden administration came up with what it called the American Climate Corps, to “mobilize the next generation of clean energy, conservation and resilience workers”: that is, to send millions of public dollars sluicing through climate nonprofits around the country.
To its credit, the Trump administration canceled the program, but similar funding streams proliferate across federal and state agencies. A cynical observer might feel inclined to use the word “racket”: Environmental agencies fund activist groups, which make apocalyptic claims more credible, thus enabling the agencies to demand more funding and regulatory authority from government budget-writers. Now that’s what I call sustainability.
I told Senator Sheldon WhiteClub today that I won’t be listening to or caring about any of his lessons on morality knowing that he joined an all-white Rhode Island Country Club.
I’m also done with the likes of AOC, Al Gore, John Kerry, and the rest of the lying cabal that make stupid climate predictions, plunder tens of billions of tax dollars, enrich their well-connected allies, and are committed to strangulating out of existence entire sectors of our economy.
Climate alarmist AOC wants to be taken seriously while also insisting the world is imminently about to end due to climate change (Just under 5 years remain on her nutty Jan 2019 prediction that only 12 years of life are left on Earth).
Al Gore is now speaking publicly about his concern with global freezing after decades of grift talking about global warming. “Within the decade there will be no more snows of Kilimanjaro,” said Gore in 2006 (There’s still snow on Kilimanjaro year-round). Gore also predicted in 2009 ice-free Arctic summers within 5-7 years.
John Kerry warned in 2009 that the Arctic would be ice-free by 2013.
These people are dishonest, power-hungry hacks.
The GREEN NEW SCAM is DEAD!!!
Rhode Island Senator Sheldon WhiteClub loves to falsely tell the public that offshore wind is the cheapest form of energy. He couldn’t be more wrong with his numbers. It’s no great mystery why he didn’t want to engage at today’s Senate EPW hearing regarding his bonkers logic (beyond asking me a dumb question of whether “18” is more than “9”). He knew I came loaded with receipts and my explanation dissecting his math and comparing energy sources would have made him look far more foolish than the purple haired lady on Monday.
Kudos to Utah Senator John Curtis for wanting to actually engage on this important topic more substantively.
Here’s the issue for Senator WhiteClub: He deliberately omits much of the other costs of wind, including the cost of “firming”, which is necessary to convert wind into a dispatchable power supply. Because the wind doesn’t always blow, there is a cost of storing it. When you look at the costs of an energy source, it’s important to look at the “all-in” numbers, and if you are trying to get educated on this stuff, don’t let your brain waste space on any info from WhiteClub.
I am SO in your head, you sold-out loser. Trust me: the cost numbers are the numbers ratepayers pay, and the science is what the climate scientists say, and you raising costs to pay off fossil polluters has a lousy shelf life.
