California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) issued an executive order (EO) banning the sale of gasoline-powered passenger vehicles in 2035.Newsom’s September 23 directive, requires all new passenger vehicles sold in the state be “zero-emission by 2035,” and orders California’s Air Resources Board to develop regulations to ensure that “all operations of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles shall be 100 percent zero emission by 2045 where feasible.” As a result of Newsom’s EO the only new passenger vehicles sold … [Read more...]
What Really Caused California’s Devastating Wildfires?

The biggest shock to me was my immediate and intense love for California.There’s not enough time or space for our purposes here to describe fully … [Read more...]

No Pope Francis, the World Is Not in a Climate Emergency!
Pope Francis has been a vocal advocate for climate alarmism. He believes the world is headed towards a climate doomsday. Recently, in his letter on Care for Creation, the Pope dedicated an entire section, titled “A Time to Restore,” to climate change.The Pope wrote: “Climate restoration is of utmost importance, since we are in the midst of a climate emergency. We are running out of time, as our children and young people have reminded us. We need to do everything in our capacity to limit global … [Read more...]
Wind Turbines Generate Mountains of Waste
Environmentalists and wind energy opportunists (entrepreneurs who take advantage of overly generous tax credits and multiple other subsidies) want you to believe wind energy is as pure “green” as newly driven snow is white, and as cheap as Taco Bell.They never tell you about the costs – or the environmental destruction – that they have hidden from you for decades. But neither do most governments, news media or social media.Ars Technica science editor John Timmer says wind hardware … [Read more...]
Green Nazi Political Vegetarianism
Kamala Harris recently warned about the great impact meat production has on planetary ecology and that more vegetables in the American diet would lighten such detrimental environmental impact. Such comments are rooted in the Green New Deal that is rigged to drastically reduce livestock production. Cows in particular are singled out for all of the methane they produce which leads to a significant amount of all the greenhouse gases in the country. In 2019, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez urged kids in a … [Read more...]

Sunrise Movement Radicals Switch Climate Change to “Climate Justice”
Global warmers’ latest crusade is targeting “white supremacy everywhere,” starting with “the underlying systems of extraction, segregation, and racist inequality” central to American history, law enforcement, and our prison system.And you thought global warming was about the climate.Unlike the environmentalists of yesteryear who struggled to disannul any ties to Soviet-style Bolshevism, today’s eco-activists are indistinguishable from the revolutionaries they compete with. In fact, the two … [Read more...]
Return of the tiger: Wildlife conservation amidst rapid economic development
One of the biggest push backs to economic development today is that it destroys nature. Radical organizations like Extinction Rebellion label capitalism and agriculture as evil. More specifically, they blame the fossil fuel industry and the rapid industrialization for the loss of ecosystems and habitats.On September 10, 2020, the Guardian UK ran an article which stated “Wildlife populations are in freefall around the world, driven by human overconsumption, population growth and … [Read more...]
