“Exxon Knew!” The battle cry has inflamed and inspired climate activists for decades. Since the 1970s, they allege, Exxon Knew that human-caused climate change is “real” – but lied about it, claimed there wasn’t a “crisis,” and kept marketing its “planet-killing” fuels and petrochemical feed stocks. Now activists say Exxon Knew for years that very little plastic waste is actually recycled. The oil giant is deceiving regulators and consumers with claims that all plastics are recyclable and its … [Read more...]
Congress and Courts Enable Energy and Climate Fantasy and Tyranny
The left end of the political spectrum is relentlessly pursuing the transformation of America’s society, history, economy, speech, borders, governing systems, healthcare, energy and living standards. What it cannot secure via the ballot box and alliances with the legacy media and academic institutions, it works to impose through rule by unelected, unaccountable Executive Branch bureaucrats, collusive sue-and-settle legal actions, and court decisions that too often rubberstamp agency … [Read more...]
Waging War on Modern Agriculture and Global Nutrition
The World Economic Forum says the world faces a new crisis, “One-third of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions come from food production.” With the world’s population expected to reach 10 billion people by 2050, it is therefore “urgent” that we launch a “radical” and “comprehensive” transformation of the global food system – from “reinventing” farming to “reimagining” how food is produced, processed, distributed, consumed and disposed of. Reinforcing this message, Stop Ecocide … [Read more...]
Who is Directing the War on Agriculture and Nutrition?
Elite billionaire organizations and foundations, government agencies and activist pressure groups are funding and coordinating a global war on modern agriculture, nutrition, and Earth’s poorest, hungriest people. Instead of helping more families get nutritious food, better healthcare and higher living standards, they’re doing the opposite, and harming biodiversity in the process. The World Economic Forum wants to reimagine, reinvent and transform the global food system, to eliminate … [Read more...]
Mining the Planet for Renewable Energy
This election year, several critical issues dominate voter concerns. Illegal immigration across unsecured borders by migrants, criminals, sex traffickers, and terrorists. Anti-police policies reduced prosecution of criminals and rising crime. Unprecedented prices for food, clothing, housing, and other necessities. Parental roles in education and sex changes for children. Threats to our republic and democracy from unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats who use their powers to persecute, … [Read more...]
Radical Leftists Say Oil Companies Are Committing Climate Murder!
We’re constantly told fossil fuel use is causing an existential climate crisis, extreme weather, worsening wildfires, and more frequent and intense hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and droughts. Actual temperature, storm, and other records provide no support for these claims. They certainly don’t back up ludicrous assertions that burning coal, oil, and natural gas – and even human breathing and baking pizzas in wood-fired ovens – are causing countless alleged calamities, such as slowing Earth’s … [Read more...]
Cobalt Carnage, Child Labor, and Ecological Destruction
Global cobalt demand soared with the advent of cell phones and laptop computers. It exploded with the arrival of electric vehicles and is now skyrocketing in tandem with government EV mandates and subsidies. Cobalt improves battery performance, extends driving range, and reduces fire risks. Demand will reach stratospheric heights if governments remain obsessed with climate change and Net Zero. States and nations would have to switch to electric cars, trucks, buses, and tractors; end … [Read more...]
Bloomberg Finances and Coopts State Attorneys General
Image: Creative Commons under Unsplash When you’ve built a financial information and media empire and become the world’s seventh richest person, you get to say dumb things, like suggesting that farming is easy: “You dig a hole, put a seed in, put dirt on top, add water – and up comes the corn.”Being ultra-wealthy also shields Michael Bloomberg from any fallout from the climate and energy policies he pursues so zealously. He will doubtless be able to afford electricity at any price for his … [Read more...]
China, Russia, Oil, Gas, Coal, and Climate
The relationship between China and Russia poses the greatest danger faced by America and the West since the Hitler-Stalin Pact in 1939 initiated WWII. If alarm bells are not ringing all across Washington, DC, they should be. China was already a global power based on its expanding economy, modernizing military and diplomatic reach, but the burgeoning relations with Moscow provide Beijing with renewed energy, literally and figuratively. What does that mean for the rest of the world? The … [Read more...]
Your Taxes at Work: ‘Eco-Anxiety’ Counseling
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service employees are struggling to cope with feelings of trauma and loss over the world’s changing climates and imperiled environments. Their work repeatedly confronts them with ecological changes, but even a sense of “anticipated loss” perhaps decades from now requires compassionate help. Or so the FWS and American Psychological Association tell us. Image: Creative Commons under Unsplash The FWS is thus offering paid leave to employees who attend “eco-anxiety” … [Read more...]
