With President-elect Joe Biden about to assume office, he will soon roll out his “clean energy” plan, aimed at reducing America’s dependence on fossil fuels.But such a move will cause ripples beyond America’s borders. It will likely impact key developing countries that have become increasingly reliant on fossil fuel imports from the booming U.S. oil and gas industry.Biden’s Clean Energy PlanIn December 2020, Joe Biden appointed his climate team, which included a person who served under the Obama … [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...]
The Green New Deal means monumental disruption
Not just for energy, but for every aspect of our lives, living standards, culture, and freedomsBy Paul Driessen and David WojickKamala Harris co-sponsored the Senate resolution to support the Green New Deal. Now Joe Biden has endorsed the plan. Naturally, people want to know what the GND will cost – usually meaning in state and federal government spending. But that is the wrong question.The real question is, how much do Green New Dealers expect to get out of it, at what total cost? Mr. Biden … [Read more...]
Biden’s Climate Plan Would Put Us On The Road To Serfdom
Recently a colleague of mine, David Wojick, Ph.D., opined that presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s climate and energy plans are full of promises Biden can’t keep. Wojick is correct in the sense that Biden makes many promises he can’t enact through executive actions alone. Unfortunately, I fear Wojick is being far too optimistic about whether Congress would go along with the crazy climate initiatives Biden has promised.Even if the presidency and both houses of Congress fall … [Read more...]
The Green New Fascist Deal
The “Green New Deal” is a fascist utopian plan written by environmentalist lawyers that is purportedly designed to tackle the global warming apocalypse which capitalism, particularly of the American kind drunk on fossil fuels, has precipitated through economic recklessness and colonial racism. CO2, a trace gas measured in parts per million, is the primary culprit of a semi-apocalyptic global warming crisis that can only be averted through an all-wise cadre of Democratic green lawyers. That such … [Read more...]
Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal wouldn’t slow climate change, but your electricity costs would skyrocket
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal would require Americans to rely on unreliable solar and wind energy that would raise electric bills by several hundred percent for every family and business, hit us with power blackouts and brownouts, worsen poverty and do nothing to slow climate change.Yes, you read that right. Even the drastic, unrealistic and multitrillion-dollar energy schemes in the Green New Deal would have no measureable impact on global … [Read more...]
California’s High-speed Rail Won’t Solve Climate Change—or Move Many People, Either
One of the greatest absurdities of the so-called Green New Deal proposed then backed away from by socialist-inclined Democrats, is the idea that the nation’s transportation needs can be met by building high-speed rail everywhere – and getting rid of cars and airplanes.This utopian nonsense supposedly is rooted in a desire to “do something about climate change,” which has become code for destroying civilization’s affluence, seizing control over you and your money and enriching crony … [Read more...]
No Deal at All
When Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Senator Ed Markey rolled out their Green New Deal (GND) in February, they put flesh on the bones of a policy that formerly was only a pie-in-the-sky proposal promoted by the Green Party. This Green Party proposal was a wish list from an expansionist government agenda floated by Democrat Socialists and the far-left wing of the Democrat Party over the last twenty or so years.The Green Party proposal went beyond replacing fossil … [Read more...]
It’s Not about the Climate—It Never Was
Generally, I conclude most of my climate change presentations with the phrase, “It’s not about the climate; it never was.” Here, I would like to start with that statement. In this brief article, I will discuss why carbon dioxide isn’t the dangerous gas it is made out to be, why climate change is not an ‘existential’ threat to the planet, and why the Green New Deal is not a solution to climate change. Let me begin with a series of questions. Is our climate changing? The answer is clearly … [Read more...]
Socialist “Green New Deal” Laughably Ridiculous
We’re told global warming gives us only 5, 10, 12 more years (depending on the doomsayer) before the planet is irretrievably doomed. “Therefore, act now!” alarmists demand. Of course, they’ve been saying the same thing for 10, 20, 25 years. It’s become impossible to spoof these people… Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s socialist Green Deal is so laughably ridiculous even the leftist leadership of her own Democratic Party is running from it. Amid the backlash, she's apparently removed … [Read more...]
