Michael Shellenberger has been an environmentalist since he was 16, an actual climate activist for more than two decades. A leftist for three.

NH Dems Look Left (Toward Vermont) For Ways to Waste Your Money
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.
Pacific Ocean Plastic Garbage Patch Kids Come Back (Essentially) Empty Handed
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.
NH Democrats Are Giving Unelected Bureaucrats the Power To Raise Taxes
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.
NH Democrats Resurrect Environmentally Unfriendly Regressive Plastic Grocery Bag (Ban) Tax
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.
If a Leftist Yells “Forest Fire!” In a Crowded Social Media Group Show Them This
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.
They’re a lot like politicians – harping about others’ faults and ignore their own failures
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, … Read more

Democrat Anti-Fracking Arguments Would Cost Jobs and Pennsylvania (again)
Western Pennsylvania’s energy workers hoped to communicate with the Democrat presidential candidates. The workers wanted the chance to defend the way they make their living. Their intention was to open a line of communication before the candidates decided to go to war against shale.
Proposed Plastic Bans – When the ‘Solution’ is Worse Than the “Problem”
Democrats virtue signal about everything. And very little, if anything, they promise, does what they say. Banning plastic is a good example. The claim is that this will be better for the environment. What they don’t tell you is that the alternatives to plastic are worse.
BBC: Wind Power is Destroying the Planet
The BBC, an otherwise reliable cog in the globalist green energy agenda, is in a tizzy. It seems they’ve discovered a common material used in Green Energy infrastructure produces 23,500 times as much warming as CO2.
Right – Democrats promising the future but can’t deliver in the present, can they?
And you think you can trust these Socialists in other things as well? ‘Bout the only thing I can trust them to do is make more promises they either can’t keep or never intended on keeping. Remember Clinton and taxes? I do… (H/T: Powerline)
The left typically likes predators but not when they are eating into their government profits

Is Recycling a “Waste” of Time?
Recycling is a thing. Plastic, glass, paper, metal, cardboard. But it’s not a carbon neutral thing. It is carbon intensive. And while “removing it” from the waste stream may save tipping fees for your local municipality, if you think you are saving the planet, you’re not.
The Turning of a Liberal Screw
We like to remind our readers about the complicated relationship Democrats have with the truth. Like, all lawful gun-owners are criminals, and they’ll prove it just as soon as they pass enough laws to make that true. Another excellent example comes to us from Mark Steyn.
Jeanne Shaheen: Caught Between Re-election and the Green New Deal
I can’t count how many articles we’ve published on the topic of Greene Jeanne Shaheen. She’s been at the forefront of regurgitating climate-cult junk-science for most of her political career. But what have you done for them lately? Not enough. Left-Wing Climate cultists are protesting outside her Nashua office on Monday.
