One of the earliest schemes to ping my radar as a political blogger was the green movement’s idea of buying indulgences for emitting. Even in 2008, Carbon offsets had all the makings of a confidence scam.
New Ham Last week, Gov. Chris Sununu signed the state’s first law pertaining to these programs, which will fund a Department of Revenue Administration study on the potential lost timber tax revenue and require the Division of Forestry to create a registry of all carbon offset sites in the state. It was introduced in the state House … Read more
Having worked in every sort of restaurant, I am very forgiving. I get it. Full service, fast food, delivery, I’ve done it all. I also tend to tip above average even though I live a modest lifestyle because I get it. Even subpar service is worth something. But on Saturday, our server plumbed new lows.
My last article highlighted the fact that the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) is only now beginning to contemplate how to write the rules regarding how Vermonters can retroactively “bank” so-called “Clean Heat Credits” back to January 1, 2023, and continue to bank them until the Clean Heat Standard goes fully into effect sometime in 2025.
Electric vehicles cost more to insure. Minor accidents can result in damage that makes the vehicle unsafe or unrepairable. A parking lot fender bender could “total” your so-called green vehicle. But that’s not the only insurance cost driving up the price of EV ownership.
Last week we reported on accusations that Verra, a business that takes money and then claims to protect South American Rain Forrest so Big Everything can claim to offset their carbon footprint, was a scam. What are the odds there would be a second carbon credit scam?
One thing more accurate than any other when talking about the climate cult is emissions offshoring. Specifically, ignoring the carbon production required elsewhere to ‘Green’ up (on paper) here. But it also applies to the activity exerted in the name of forcing others to bow before the same alter against their will.
Bill Gates’s “Breakthrough Energy Ventures” has backed a startup called Graphyte that just pulled a George C. Parker on American Airlines. Parker was famous for selling the Brooklyn Bridge to rubes for large sums. As often as twice a week until, years later, he was finally sent to jail for life. We can only hope … Read more
The current Grand Solar Minimum is expected to last until about 2035, by which time the overall average temperature of the earth will likely have declined a few degrees. But wait, you say, Wasn’t it hot? In some spots, sure, but in others, it was cold, and the long-term averages will be lower (get into … Read more
Not much good can be said about the publication Newsweek, but for reasons not yet clear, it has allowed an opinion piece by Scott Atlas to appear under its banner. Something of an almost apology, apology.
Our readers are no strangers to reports, exposes, documentaries, or commentaries about one of the green movement’s biggest lies. It’s not only not green; it’s brown and black and killing brown and black people.
Every time I think that they can’t get more fixated, they push my expectations to new lows. As in, “you WILL have a diminished standard of living, and you WILL be happy about it because you are saving the planet.”
Wealthy one-percenters with private jets are miffed that their flight plans and travel are public. Thanks to the internet machine, the comings and goings of the climate cult elite are being shared with people who actually think any of that matters, and the backlash has been beautiful.
My head hurts and it isn’t even Grokster Ian that wrote this. At least with his writing, it’s cogent and thoughtful – the headaches come from that he forces you to think orthogonal / sideways from your normal thought patterns. However, this post from Treehugger is none of this.
The Charlottesville City Council approved a plan to melt down its statue of Robert E. Lee. The Jefferson School African American Heritage Center will “transform a national symbol of white supremacy into a new work of art that will reflect racial justice and inclusion.” So, who’s paying for the carbon offsets?
The city that can’t get to sleep (they are so #woke, get it?) has become so dangerous thanks to systemic Left-wing “leadership,” a city councilman from East Fishkill, NY, has issued a travel advisory for anyone headed to New York City. So, like Libya, but downstate!
Sen. Ted Cruz has a few thoughts for his Democrat colleagues. “What the hell do the emissions standards on airplanes have to do with thousands of people dying and millions of people out of work…”
The Democrat’s mystical death cult meets “The Party of Science™.” Ignore biology (science) in pursuit of fantasy. That interfering with the development of a child is not murder. It is not Eugenics. It is a magical event celebrated on t-shirts, in parades, and on candles.
If you look at the complete manifold of global energy needs Wind power’s contribution is too small to measure. In 2014 (the last year for which there is data) the nearest whole number for wind’s contribution is zero percent. From the International Energy Agency’s 2016 Key Renewables Trends, we can see that wind provided 0.46 … Read more
Michael Barone has a piece in the Washington Examiner whose thrust is to address the UN panels historic downgrading of past apocalyptic rhetoric regarding mans so-called impact on global climate. We’ve apparently been given a 17 year waiver from the universe, something the ‘war’mists call a pause, a pause that conservatives note better explains the … Read more
