Oil, coal, petrol, and natural gas replacements require obscene amounts of concrete, metal, plastics, electronics, and rare earth metals, all moved by heavy equipment from manufacturing facilities. None of this is possible without coal, gas, or oil. Net Zero, in other words, is another lie. Like saying you’re going to end child trafficking by trafficking … Read more
In 2016, the human rights violations in Africa fueling the technology future were well known and documented by none other than Amnesty International, which released a report on “the hazardous conditions in which artisanal miners, including thousands of children, mine cobalt in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.”
As Maine considers following Massachusetts and Vermont down the California EV, NetZero ***! Hole, the science, and a handful of people with some common sense have stepped in to say, slow the hell down. Electrifying trucks comes with some serious downsides.
WCAX has this cute little piece about biologists and foresters colluding “to understand and manage a forest in a changing climate.” This is just a suggestion, but you may want to focus on the reality of what Climate Change politics will do to Vermont’s forests.
We all want to protect the environment. But lefty pols are making reckless promises to “transition” entirely to renewables — wind and solar — within a few years. Never mind that Joe Public will get clobbered with huge electric bills, blackouts, unaffordable car prices, and layoffs in many industries. Getting to green nirvana on the … Read more
We cannot possibly afford to commit to Net Zero, not in this lifetime, and not likely the next, even if there was a need (which there is not). Certainly, not the way they are trying to do it. So, if Democrats are going to insist on this, then they need to lead by example. You … Read more
Vermont is a poster child for the level of stupid required to embrace the myth of Net Zero, not just rhetorically but actively. They are ramming through a heat standard that can’t be met and that almost none of Vermont’s citizens want.
The improbability of Net Zero as achievable or as a means to prevent the climate cult’s world-ending apocalypse mythology (were it even true) has done little to slow the progressive pursuit of it. They seem almost giddy at the thought of how many lives could be lost.
There are few, if any, facets of the Climate Cult mythology we’ve not debunked. It’s fun and easy, but one of the latest lies is that the government can get us to Net Zero carbon emissions. We’ve covered some of that too, but what I’m about to share should end all debate. It can’t be … Read more
The Left-coast has a radical notion. They can pretend they’ve achieved net zero emissions by offshoring emissions to foreign and third-world countries with less environmental regulation. A dirtier world, just not in their backyard.
The European Union’s (EU) cabal of meddling ministers has passed a resolution “requiring firms and their upstream and downstream partners, including supply, production and distribution, to prevent, end or mitigate their adverse impact on human rights and the environment.”
The Silicon Valley Bank was woke and went broke. It was obsessed with arbitrary equity and diversity in its people, not so much its portfolio. A message that has not landed on deaf ears.
The Left’s Net-Zero mission translates to a net-zero lifestyle. A plan that adds millions of electric mouths to feed but contains no viable way to meet increased demand. Some legislators in Wyoming have found it lacking and are pushing back.
Zimbabwe is looking to capitalize on the West’s Green Energy “Future.” Citing its Base Minerals Export Control Act if you want to move lithium out of the country, you’ll need first to process it in Zimbabwe*. Otherwise, no joy.
Net Zero has a lot of problems, not the least of which is that it’s a lie. China is choking the planet with its industrial exhaust to build all these so-called earth-saving innovations while western elites pretend they’ve done the planet earth a solid. But wait, there’s more!
Nineteen states, led by Missouri AG Eric Schmitt, are investigating Bank of America, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley, and Wells Fargo for putting UN (BS) Net Zero ESG banking goals ahead of American laws.
The new buzzword among the Climate Cult Glitteratti is Net-Zero. They think it means a modern (corner of the) world with zero net carbon emissions. It’s actually (or at least probably) an admission that they know net-zero about what is involved in this fantasy or why it’s impossible to achieve.
Big Green is a lumbering hulk whose only quality is its size and momentum. Nothing else about it makes any sense. The only thing green about it is the money printed to fund it. And it won’t make life better for anyone but a few elites who advocate for it.
When scientism coughs up “research” suggesting that your exhaled breath is not a negligible contribution to man-caused climate change, your first thought should be, where can I buy a firearm?
In May 2021, L. Gordon Crovitz, a media executive turned start-up investor, pitched Twitter executives on a powerful censorship tool. In an exchange that came to light in the “Twitter Files” revelations about media censorship, Crovitz, former publisher of the Wall Street Journal, touted his product, NewsGuard, as a “Vaccine Against Misinformation.”
