Climate Change? What Climate Change?

  What Message Can Be Gleaned from Contradictory Ideas? By Eileen F. Toplansky Recently, I was sent this piece about Robert David Steele who was a former Marine Corps infantry officer and then a spy for the CIA. At his own site , he claims to be "the Chief Enabling Officer CeO [sic] of Earth Intelligence Network, devoted to teaching holistic analytics, true cost economics and open source everything engineering." Thus, "his ideas would enable the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals -- first within the USA and then globally [.]" This is code for doing away with capitalism. After all, Christiana Figueres , executive secretary of U.N.'s Framework Convention on Climate Change, admitted that the goal of environmen...

The hidden agenda behind 'climate change' By John Eidson In comments that laid bare the hidden agenda behind global warming alarmism, Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of the U.N.'s Framework Convention on Climate Change, let slip during a February 2015 press conference in Brussels that the U.N.'s real purpose in pushing climate hysteria is to end capitalism throughout the world: This is the first time in human history that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally changing [getting rid of] the economic development model that has reigned since the Industrial Revolution. The economic model to which she referred is free-market capitalism.  A year earlier, Figueres revealed what capitalism must be replaced with when she complained that America's two-party constitutio...

  Death of the Global Warming Myth By Peter Heck When your cockamamie theory is collapsing around you, it's probably best to take your plight to a higher power.  But if that isn't possible, a fake jaguar goddess could work. According to the Washington Post , Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change, invoked the ancient jaguar goddess Ixchel in her opening statement to delegates gathered in Cancun, Mexico, noting that Ixchel was ... "the goddess of reason, creativity and weaving." I'll give this conglomeration of exploiting profiteers five stars when it comes to creativity.  You can't manipulate data to produce fatalistic scenes of New York City being overwhelmed by tidal waves and Yellowstone erupting into volcanic ash wit...

Drawing Back the Curtain on the World's Political Classes By Clarice Feldman This week, President Trump showed once again that, unlike his predecessor, he reads the fine print, and is not swayed by the unscientific blather of the internationalists who use fine talk to cover power-grabbing, anti-Americanism, and corruption.  He wisely pulled out of the Paris Accord -- something always billed as a perfectly voluntary agreement of nations. Had it been more transparently called a "treaty" the “Accord” would never have passed even minimal scrutiny and constitutionally mandated Senate approval. So it combines bad science, bad economics, and bad politics. Here are some of the provisions , not reported by the mainstream press, which unde...

Another blow for warmist fraud: Canada pulling out of Kyoto Protocols By Thomas Lifson Canada is reported to be planning tom announce it is leaving the Kyoto Protocols, intended to reduce CO2 emissions in the hope of halting global warming, which hasn't occurred in the last decade, according to theories which lack actual scientific proof. The private Canadian CTV television network reports: Canada will announce next month that it will formally withdraw from the Kyoto Protocol, CTV News has learned. The Harper government has tentatively planned an announcement for a few days before Christmas, CTV's Roger Smith reported Sunday evening. The developments come as Environment Minister Peter Kent prepares for a climate conference in Durban, South Africa that opens on Monday, with delegates from 190 countries seeking a new international agreement for cutt...

UN Climate chief: Communism best for fighting global warming By Rick Moran This kind of thing parodies itself, and if you want a comprehensive take down of this nonsense, Ed Morrissey has a crackerjack of a post on the wisdom emanating from the lips of Christiana Figueres about the best political system to fight climate change. Daily Caller: United Nations climate chief Christiana Figueres said that democracy is a poor political system for fighting global warming. Communist China, she says, is the best model. China may be the world's top emitter of carbon dioxide and struggling with major pollution problems of their own, but the country is "doing it right" when it comes to fighting global warming says Figueres. "They actually...

  Policy would help on climate Oct 24, 2021 A key piece of President Joe Biden’s plan to address climate change in his Build Back Better plan appears to be dead. The Senate should replace it with the bipartisan-supported, industry-supported, market-based carbon fee and dividend program. The Biden...
