MacDonald: Vermont Is Still Clutching Imaginary Pearls

The emissions lawsuit opera continues after a court told the environmentalists suing the state of Vermont for missing its made-up emissions target that you can’t sue them for missing a target we won’t know we’ve missed until 2027. Oh, but they guessed and we guessed and the official unofficial estimates are that they missed it. … Read more

Stop All Shipments of Oil and Gas to New York

It is essential to make this clear up front. Blue States are not suing “Big Oil” or introducing regressive levy on “fossil fuels” to save the planet. They want the money. Big spenders are gonna spend, and no one spends more than Democrats, but even they understand that there is a point at which – … Read more

Vermont’s “Emissions Reduction Target” Illusion

The State of Vermont is committed to ruining the lives of Vermonters to achieve arbitrary emissions reduction targets that are globally insignificant. The entire exercise is a punchline to a bad joke. To make matters worse, the State is arguing with environmentalists over whether or not they are achieving those meaningless planned reductions. To meet … Read more

Really? The EPA Is Going to Take a Second Bite at the CO2 Apple?

Yeah, “jealously guarding their Powers” is a quote I keep using in talking about what each of our co-equal Branches of Government should be doing (but haven’t).  Yet, in the lengthening shadow of the SCOTUS decision that the EPA could just make stuff up on their own (e.g., can’t regulate CO2 emissions of power plants … Read more

Data Point – Whose Carbon Emissions are Out of Control? Not the US’s

I grow weary of the US being the world’s whipping boy for almost every evil in the world. The Eco-Socialists are always blaming us yet even as our population went from 203 million people to 327 million, our emissions stayed relatively flat. So as our population went up by 50%, per capita emissions went down. … Read more

Data Point – Climate change is mostly about virtue-signaling, not actually doing (unless you are the US)

About that “Paris Accord”? Reformatted, emphasis mine:

Nineteen nations “believe” in climate change. How are they backing up their statement of faith? China was praised for signing on to the Paris Climate Agreement and in Argentina reaffirmed its commitment to controlling greenhouse gas emissions. Last year, however, China increased those emissions by 1.7 percent. India, the fourth largest source for CO2, saw their emissions grow by 4.6 percent in 2017. Luckily for them, they too were praised for signing that “nonbinding communiqué.” Overall, the European Union raised their CO2 output by 1.5 percent. France, home of the Paris Agreement, is leading the diplomatic effort to save the planet. They increased their greenhouse gas emissions by 3.6 percent. . . .

If the nations paying lip service to climate change aren’t meeting their goals, imagine how poorly the oil-drilling, coal-mining Americans must be doing.
