Biden Treasury Sec. Janet Yellen: ‘The Inflation Reduction Act is, at its core, about turning the climate crisis into an economic opportunity’


George Monbiot’s ‘farm-free’ future fantasies – Envisions ‘shutting down animal farming altogether’
JOHN LEWIS-STEMPEL in Unherd: About 70% of global farmland is owned by 1% of “farmers”. Agri-business now rules the roost. Four companies — Cargill, Archer Daniel Midland, Bunge and Louis Dreyfus — control 90% of the global grain trade. Similarly, four companies — ChemChina, Corteva, Bayer and BASF — control 66% of the world’s agricultural chemicals. These businesses are hardly renowned for their care of the environment. Likewise, politicians. The post-Second World War intensification of agriculture, promoted in the West by national governments and the nascent EU as a path to food security, has starved the soil and exhausted crops. ...
“The biggest population crisis is not the growth in human numbers, but the growth in livestock numbers”, Monbiot declares.

There is, as Monbiot concedes, no actual food shortage. Already, the planet’s farmers produce enough food to cater for the projected 10 billion humans of 2050. The problem is waste, and distribution....The rich West throws away food, while the Third World lacks the storage to keep food preserved. ... Organic farming...can inflict more damage on the overall environment because of its “lower yields”: it uses more land to produce the same amount of food. But as the same George Monbiot noted, in 2000, in a Guardian article called “Organic farming will feed the world"...

Eco activists claim to love animals, but are happy to see farm breeds — some of which, like White Park cattle, have been around since Druid times — made extinct? Is there some sort of hierarchy, where wild animals are good, farm animals bad? ... the organic cow will produce, from its back end, enough manure to feed over 2 million insects a year, the start of a wild food chain going all the way up to the fox and swallow. ... There is no place for them in his farmfree future. He therefore threatens to finish the work begun by Big Farmer.

NPR calls the backlash over NOT wanting to eat bugs a ‘conspiracy’ – Implies those who refuse to eat insects are racist?!NPR labels push for humans to eat insects "a conspiracy theory that elites want people to eat bugs." ... "A bug-eating conspiracy theory goes mainstream"

NPR: "In recent years, however, this aversion has fused with an amorphous and shapeshifting conspiracy theory in which a shadowy global elite conspires to control the world's population. For those who espouse the theory, eating bugs isn't just a matter of disgust, or questioning the impacts of climate change. It's framed as a matter of individual freedom and government control."
NPR: Refusing to eat bugs is racist?! "Europeans felt they needed European foods," Julie Lesnik, an associate professor of biological anthropology at Wayne State University in Detroit told NPR. "There is very much a worry that if you ate the Indigenous foods, you would become a savage." "Conservative media influencers continue to tap into this sentiment today," NPR declared, before writing that "Lesnik sees a throughline between the early colonizers and the conservative outrage today." "The easiest punching bag ... is to pick on something that looks uncivilized," Lesnik said.

Analysis: THE WEF (WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM) ARE LIFE-HATING LIARS – WEF supported New Deal for Nature ‘amounts to nothing less than a trillion-dollar land grab, particularly in Africa’Paul Cudenec: We hear a lot of talk about “renewable” technology from the WEF and its friends but as many critics are now pointing out, this is not at all what it claims to be. It is just another form of greenwashing. Electric cars, for instance, don’t stop pollution, but merely displace it elsewhere, not just to the power stations that generate the electricity but to the mines which provide the lithium and cobalt for their batteries. The manufacturing, transport and disposal of the tools of “renewable” energy, such as wind turbines and solar panels, involves hideous levels of environmental damage, not to speak of human suffering, as well as large quantities of the fossil fuels they are supposed to be replacing, but never really can. ... Ultimately it’s all just another way of making money. Schwab dreams of “profitable carbon-capture and use-production facilities” and of turning carbon dioxide from a greenhouse pollutant into an asset. ... The WEF supports the so-called New Deal for Nature, otherwise known as NaturePositive or 30×30, whose apparent aim of “protecting & restoring nature”, amounts to nothing less than a trillion-dollar land grab, particularly in Africa. ...Another aspect of this commodification can be seen in Environmental Impact Bonds, part of the broader impact capitalism publicly launched by venture capitalist Sir Ronald Cohen, a friend of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown.

Kamala Harris issues dire climate warning in Africa: ‘Existential threat to the entire planet’ – Praises Zambian farm for climate friendly agriculture practicesKamala Harris met with Zambian farmers to discuss climate-resilient agriculture and the effects of food scarcity...Her visit to Panuka Farm is intended to bring attention to climate-resilient agriculture and food security amid unpredictable climate change. "So, when I think about the work that is happening here — the work you're doing here, Panuka — it is not only a model of innovation, and inspired by, as you said, what we must do to be clever. But it is also an example of work that should happen around the country to reduce greenhouse gas emissions — around the world to do the same," Harris told the farmers.

Climate Depot's Marc Morano: "Here we go again. The Biden admin is obsessed with showcasing the lack of development in Africa as some kind of vision for a climate panacea that the rest of the world should follow. VP Harris praises low yield agriculture in Zambia just a few months after Biden Treasury Sec. Yellen posed in front of a straw hut in Zambia to lecture Africans on how they can fight 'climate change." See:Biden Treasury Sec. Yellen stands in front of straw hut telling African farmers they can fight climate change

Morano: "The EU is doing its best to suppress African independence and development by inhibiting African nations from producing their own fertilizer." See:EU Says Africa Should Stop Buying Russian Fertilizer — But Can’t Make It Themselves – Fertilizer production in Africa ‘would clash with EU green goals’
Morano: "The Biden admin and climate activists essentially claim that African nations can’t make the same mistakes the prosperous western world made with fossil fuels. What mistakes were those? Long life, lower infant mortality, prosperity?! Long life, lower infant mortality, prosperity, and cleaner environments as you get wealthier? This is a backward policy. Unfortunately, this is more of an example of the western wealthy nations harming Africa by not letting Africa develop fossil fuels to get energy and prosperity like the west. " See:Calls to prevent fossil fuels to people of color: ‘Africa must forgo gas exploration to avert climate disaster, warn experts’ – ‘Cannot rely on the failed system of the last 200 years’

African Activist: ‘African life span is lower than it was in U.S. and Europe 100 years ago. But Africans told we shouldn’t develop’ because wealthy Western nations are ‘worried about global warming’

Climate czar Kerry: Biden to issue new mandates to reduce emissions by 50% on cars, trucks by 2030 – ‘We have to meet the net zero 2050’ goalsKerry touts corporate government collusion that bypasses democracy!
Kerry addressed what would happen if a new, Republican, administration took office in 2024 and undid Biden's dictates. "Achieving our goal is not exclusively dependent on what the federal government says or does. It's critical, but not wholly dependent. Corporations all around America, the largest corporations in the country, Apple, Microsoft, Google, Salesforce, I mean, you know, and a whole bunch of other disciplines, I mean, you've got Boeing, you've got Delta Airlines, United Airlines, a whole bunch of folks have adopted a net zero 2050 target," Kerry said.

"Right now, we're behind," Kerry continued. "I mean, we're seriously behind. And that was the meaning of the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) report that just came out. It's another kick in the you-know-what to get people moving. So that's our fight, is to get people to do all the things we can do."

Climatologist Dr. Judith Curry: ‘The UN IPCC Reports have become ‘bumper sticker’ climate science’ – Report lobbies for ‘politically manufactured consensus’Curry: " The IPCC Reports have become 'bumper sticker' climate science – making a political statement while using the overall reputation of science to give authority to a politically manufactured consensus." ... "The IPCC has strayed far from its chartered role of assessing the scientific literature in support of policy making. The entire framing of the IPCC Reports is now around the mitigation of climate change through emissions reductions. Not only has the IPCC increasingly taken on a stance of explicit political advocacy, but it is misleading policy makers by its continued emphasis on extreme climate outcomes driven by the implausible extreme emissions scenarios." ...
"The most important finding of the past 5 years is that the extreme emissions scenarios RCP8.5 and SSP5-8.5, commonly referred to as 'business-as-usual' scenarios, are now widely recognized as implausible. These extreme scenarios have been dropped by UN Conference of the Parties to the UN Climate Agreement. However, the new Synthesis Report continues to emphasize these extreme scenarios, while this important finding is buried in a footnote: “Very high emission scenarios have become less likely but cannot be ruled out.”

Great Water Reset: The UN & WEF are coming for your water now! ‘Sustainable development’ water dictates – Aim to ‘achieve internationally agreed water-related goals’Cheryl K. Chumley: The United Nations plans to protect water that’s used for bathing; water that’s used for developments; water that’s home to sea life; water that’s used for transportation. So the up-and-coming controls would likely focus on residential limits to water usage, and costly increases to access that water; on bans on agricultural usage, and costly increases on farmers; on strict controls on the types and numbers of ships that can sail the seas and rivers and channels, and costly increases for this form of transportation. ... as with carbon offsets, the U.N. water czars will demand trades of activities to offset the supposed pollution of the waterways.
So much for jet skiing. So much for fishing on the weekends with the family. It’ll be too expensive — and regulated.

“Natural resources crises, including for water and food, come within the top 10 biggest risks facing humanity in the coming decade,” the World Economic Forum wrote. ... “[A]s global warming continues to take effect, ordinary weather is becoming a thing of the past, exacerbating our water crisis,” the World Economic Forum wrote.

Morano Excerpt: "The Great Reset essentially is restricting energy, food, transportation, Free Speech, property
ownership, and collapsing our financial system...They're collapsing high-yield agriculture in the Netherlands and other places. They're making food scarce. The Harvard School of Public Health: The root causes of the climate also increase the risk of pandemics. So if you don't support the Green New Deal, you're a grandma killer! And that's coming from Harvard University. This is Harvard as well. The Harvard Environment Law Review -- this paper just came out this week. Climate homicide deaths for prosecuting big oil for climate deaths. Two years ago, a doctor issued the first clinically diagnosed patient with climate change -- a lady suffering from heat stroke. So you can be charged with homicide; A doctor can diagnose you with climate change; and you can now have climate as a cause of death on your death certificate. I'm not making any of this up. This is in our academic mainstream now. Of course, the last hundred years of climate change has at a 99% drop in climate-related deaths.
Now, the Biden Administration is pushing the U.S. into a WHO pandemic treaty where it won't matter who your Governor is, who your mayor is, this will be pushing Global instant lockdowns."

Watch: Morano debunks Biden’s ‘science-free’ climate/energy claims point-by-point – On Bongino’s Fox News show: ‘I think it’s easier to transition your gender than it is to transition to green energy’Unfiltered With Dan Bongino - Fox News Channel - Broadcast March 25, 2023


Morano: "I think it's easier to transition your gender than it is to transition to green energy. There's just no way to put this. This green energy is not green. It's not clean, and it's not cheaper to replace fossil fuels. It requires fossil fuels to make green energy, wind, and solar require more reliance on China, requires rare earth mining, and renewables dig the earth, not in a Brady Bunch 1970s kind of way -- they dig deep into the earth. And what's amazing here is none of Biden's supporters could care less about China, Venezuela, OPEC in the Middle East, exploring their fossil fuels, but they express horror if we do it here in the U.S., suddenly America's evil. They could care less about all these other regimes doing it with lower human rights and lower environmental standards."
Biden touts 1.5 temperature goal:
Morano: "During the Climategate scandal, when all the emails were released, revealed that top UN scientist Phil Jones said, Where did we even get this number, this temperature of 1.5 or 2 degrees goal from? He said it was likely pulled from thin air with no science behind it."
Biden claims the weather is getting more extreme:
Morano: "It's completely science free. There are always going to be floods, droughts, hurricanes, tornadoes, and wildfires. That's the history of the Earth. That's completely normal. What's key here is if you look at the peer-reviewed literature and even buried in United Nations climate reports and the National Climate Assessments -- hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, droughts, wildfires are either not increasing, or they are declining on climate timescales of 30, 50, or 100 years."

Morano: "Biden's climate activist base only wants to see China, the Middle East, and Venezuela, producing fossil fuels. They don't want America doing it. They don't want it here where we have great standards. And great environmental human rights and environmental standards. It's it makes no sense. So Biden is in quite a quandary. ...
What they're doing is they're collapsing as much energy as possible to make energy more scarce to raise the price because they've actually admitted it and Obama administration official admitted that higher energy costs help the climate agenda and they want to force as much solar and wind on us which doesn't produce even a fraction of the energy of fossil fuels. So they're creating intentional storages to meet the so-called Net Zero goal."

Watch: Morano on Fox & Friends rips Biden Energy Sec. for wanting USA to ‘learn’ from China – Ruling class ‘lusted after China’s one-party authoritarian rule’Fox and Friends - Fox News Channel - Broadcast March 12, 2023

Rachel Campos-Duffy: Here to react publisher at ClimateDepot.com and author of The Great Reset, Marc Morano. Marc, tell me why we have our Energy Secretary touting China as the example on climate change and environmentalism.
Morano: "This is right out of a Seinfeld episode. This is Bizarro World. It's the exact opposite of what you would expect. China, which is literally 50% of the world's coal production. China, which brags, 'oh, we're doing solar, wind'. They're building solar and wind using rare earth mining, using human rights violations, using the worst environmental standards around the world, in order to sell to the West, not to use themselves. Their percentage of solar and wind is tiny. So the idea that we're supposed to be modeled after them kind of reminds me that [Biden Energy Sec. Sec. Granholm] not talking about in energy, or is she talking about politically? ...
We all modeled ourselves after China when it came to the lockdowns. We copied what China was doing with COVID lockdowns with World Health Organization, and the rest of the world like lemmings jumped off a cliff. ... Our ruling class, academia, and media elites, have done nothing but praise China. They've lusted after China's one-party authoritarian rule...And here's what the kicker is. The COVID lockdowns gave the once-free West the opportunity to finally have what they dreamed of: Chinese one-party-style authoritarian rule as the most consequential decisions of our lifetime -- whether we go to school, work, church, weddings, funerals medical care, stay-at-home orders -- were decided without an ounce of democracy, it was all done to emergency decree. This is what our power-hungry politicians love. So when I hear Jennifer Granholm praising China, I know it's not for environmentalism that makes no sense. I think it's for their politics and their politics of absolute control because that's where we're all moving. In the once-free West. That's what we're copying now."

Ford seeks patent to repossess a car remotely — by locking owners out of their cars & cutting off AC & forcing car’s audio system to ’emit an incessant & unpleasant sound’


Ford Motor Co. has applied for a patent to make remote car repossessions nearly seamless for lenders — and deeply unpleasant for car owners in default, who may endure an “incessant” sound, sweat out disabled air conditioning, and eventually get locked out of their car. ... The patent described steps to trigger if an owner ignores overdue notices, starting with those meant to cause “an additional level of discomfort to a driver and occupants of the vehicle” by disabling nice-to-have features like air conditioner, remote key fobs, and the automated door lock-and-unlock system. Another step described in the remote-repo patent application included prompting the car’s audio system to “emit an incessant and unpleasant sound every time the owner is present in the vehicle.” The repo system would control various ways “to make the sound unpleasant,” and ensure that the owner could not “turn it off without first making contact with the lending institution.”

At the same time, the bureaucrats at the Consumer Products Safety Board are working on banning the other half.

IT NEVER ENDS: Now the Biden Admin moving forward with light bulb bans – To ‘prohibit retailers from selling incandescent light bulbs’
The regulations, which prohibit retailers from selling incandescent light bulbs, were finalized by the Department of Energy (DOE) in April 2022 and are slated to go into effect on Aug. 1, 2023. The DOE will begin full enforcement of the ban on that date...
“The lighting industry is already embracing more energy efficient products, and this measure will accelerate progress to deliver the best products to American consumers and build a better and brighter future,” Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said. According to the DOE announcement, the regulations will save consumers an estimated $3 billion per year on utility bills and cut carbon emissions by 222 million metric tons over the next three decades.
