Michael Shellenberger has been an environmentalist since he was 16, an actual climate activist for more than two decades. A leftist for three. And he has a confession. “On behalf of environmentalists everywhere, I would like to formally apologize for the climate scare we created over the last 30 years.”
The Transportation Climate Initiative (TCI) is a regional gas tax set by unelected bureaucrats. It claims that killing local economies and pinching pocketbooks to fund more failed government interventions will reduce emissions. I have a better idea.
If you are looking for ways to waste money the Left’s elected Climate Cultists are leading the charge. Legislating solutions to problems they have manufactured. Issues that, if real, would be better handled by an encouraged free-market than bureaucratic force. Just look to our left for Proof.
Is there “plastic in the ocean? Yes. Is it the ecological catastrophe advertised? Nothing ever is, so please learn this and live it. Every single emotional plea or legislative exercise from the left is to solve one and only one problem. You having more control over how your money is spent than the government.
As New Hampshire muddles through another statewide power outage energy and electricity are on people’s minds. So, is this a good time to point out another issue with green energy policy (in NH and elsewhere). Wind Turbine blades can’t be recycled. Ever.
We should love it when the Left shows us who they are. They want to tax the crap out of you to pay for their incompetent big government fantasies, but they don’t want to suffer the potential electoral consequences. This year they’re trying to do that not once but twice.
The NH House is toying with the idea of a regressive tax on plastic grocery bags. Thin-film bags are the least carbon-intensive solution but because of their visibility virtue-signaling leftists have been after them for years. NH Democrats virtue signal with the best.
It has become an annual tradition. Dry season equals forest fires equals leftists blaming CO2 (and your reckless lifestyle) for burning acreage. It’s not true, but never more so than this year. At least, according to the National Interagency Fire Center.
Swedish Teen Greta Thunberg Lectures Iowans on Climate Change Hoax, ‘Teenagers and Children Know Better Than Adults’ Er, no you don’t. Here’s your bar of soap. Again. And so for all of those children from Parkland (e.g., David Hogg) that thankfully have faded away as the Left realized their useful half-life has passed). Whaddya know, …
Recent research suggests that there is no broad evidence that connects eating less red meat to improved health outcomes. Everyone from health professionals to environmentalists are losing their minds.
