European climate scientist Dr. Lennart Bengtsson: ‘The so-called 1.5°C target has no scientific basis, but is merely a political ploy’
Professor Lennart Bengtsson was Head of Research at the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasting 1975-1981 and its Director 1982-1990. In 1991-2000 he was Director of the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Hamburg. In 2000-2015 he was professor in the University of Reading and from 2008-2013 Director of the International Space Science Institute in Bern, Switzerland. He is honorary member of the American Meteorological Society, the Royal Meteorological Society and European Geophysical Union.
Bengtsson: "The so-called 1.5°C target, which has no scientific basis but is merely a political ploy. I say this for the following reasons: There is no direct or simple link between greenhouse gas emissions and the Earth’s temperature. The IPCC has shown this clearly in all its six reports. The main reason is that we do not know climate sensitivity (the relationship between carbon dioxide and temperature) well enough."

New York moves to become 1st state banning natural gas hookups – Gov. Hochul: ‘Everyone knows we’ve seen the effects of climate change —the storms, the hurricanes coming to NY, record snow amounts. We’re seeing the effects every single day’"We're going to be the first state in the nation to advance zero-emission new homes and buildings beginning in 2025 for small buildings, 2028 for large buildings," she continued. "And we have more to do."



Climate expert Dr. Roger Pielke Jr. slams ‘climate journalism’ & Lists Top 5 Media narratives – ‘A big part of climate reporting these days is simply climate advocacy’Dr. Roger Pielke Jr.: "I have watched climate journalism evolve from reporting of news to narrative promotion and protection."
1 - 'Climate reductionism': "We can explain everything with climate change...Hay fever? Bumpy fight? Home runs? Infertility?" ...

2- "If it bleeds, it leads. There is a great market for studies that offer scary predictions of the future, typically employing implausible scenarios (hello RCP8.5). These studies are readily transformed into university and research institute press releases, which are then pretty much reprinted as news." ...

3- "Good guys and bad guys: ...The media produces a steady stream of articles helping to identify those who are heroes and those who are villains. Associating someone with Republicans or fossil fuels is a tip that this person is a villain, and a similar association with the renewable industry or Democrats means that they are onside."


4 - "The extreme weather that just happened: Weather is a renewable resource. It happens every day, and somewhere it is extreme. Hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, drought, hail, oh my! It has become fundamental to the climate beat to associate, link, connect — pick your favorite — the extreme event that just happened with climate change. Forget the IPCC and rigorous standards of detection and attribution. There are studies to cherry pick, quotable experts and a new cottage industry of rapid event attribution studies."

5- Cheerleading for our team: "A big part of climate reporting these days is simply climate advocacy. For instance, when the Inflation Reduction Act was being debated earlier this year, the media simply cheered its passage, printing the views of those paid to promote it by the renewables industry, and nary a critical voice to be heard. More recently, criticism of the IRA has appeared to become legitimate as part of the cheerleading to go beyond the IRA. Climate reporting is apparently a team sport."



Study: The Less You Know About Climate, The More You Cry About Climate – or the more knowledge you have, the less you worryDr. WILLIAM M BRIGGS: The peer-reviewed paper “Environmental knowledge is inversely associated with climate change anxiety” by Hannes Zacher and Cort W. Rudolph in Climatic Change. To my NPR-listener readers, “inversely associated” means the more environmental knowledge you have, the less you worry about the environment. It also means the greater your ignorance of the environment, which is to say, the more you listen to NPR, the more you worry. ...
Conclusion? “Results showed that, even after controlling for demographic characteristics, personality characteristics, and environmental attitudes, overall environmental knowledge and climate-specific knowledge were negatively related to climate change anxiety."


Fauci regrets not imposing COVID lockdowns earlier! ‘We should have, probably’ shutdown earlier in Feb 2020 ‘if we knew what we know now’Should they have shut down in February 2020? Fauci: “We should have, probably, if we knew what we know now.” ...
Fauci on vaccine mandates: “Man, I think, almost paradoxically, you had people who were on the fence about getting vaccinated thinking, why are they forcing me to do this? And that sometimes-beautiful independent streak in our country becomes counterproductive. And you have that smoldering anti-science feeling, a divisiveness that’s palpable politically in this country.”

If you didn’t think you needed the vaccine or didn’t trust it, Fauci proclaims that you are responsible for divisiveness and anti-science feeling. The “independent streak” is called freedom, which for him is the real problem.

Now There’s a ‘Nitrogen Crisis’ – So Hand Over Your LandThe big upset in the Dutch Senate elections in March was driven by a rebellion against the Government’s latest green agenda. But, bizarrely, on this occasion it had nothing to do with CO2. Fighting just one atmospheric gas is not enough now, it seems; Western elites have also declared war on nitrogen, emissions of which are alleged to cause plants to grow and die in ways not approved by the EU. There is said to be a ‘nitrogen crisis’ and taking action against it requires the destruction of large parts of the economy and the seizing of thousands of farms by the state.


Health Canada report: ‘Core values’ like ‘liberty & individualism’ have ‘to be rethought’ to fight climate change – ‘It advances the individual over the collective’MARK E. JEFTOVIC: Health Canada demands collectivism and an end to capitalism to fight climate change: excerpts from “Perspectives on Climate Change and Public Health in Canada” -
“The hopes expressed by participants encompassed such a vision of collectivism” ... “there are 3 core values in western society, and for that matter, in global society, that have to change. One core value is about growth and materialism. The second core value is liberty and individualism, which has to be rethought because the kind of individualism that is preached by neoliberals is part of the problem. It advances the individual over the collective… it leads to a huge number of problems, and it undermines the collective process ...

“If we don’t address capitalism, if we don’t address colonialism, racism, the patriarchy, et cetera, we’re going to tread water for a long time until we eventually drown …”

‘They’re coming for your food’: Morano warns the ‘fix is in’ and ‘restrictions’ will be next




Watch: Morano & Patrick Moore on Newsmax TV: Morano: Skeptical scientists are ‘banned, censored, de-platformed’ – ‘Same thing we saw during COVID’




Newsmax TV - Rob Schmitt Tonight - Broadcast April 27, 2023
Morano: "So what happened is in 1988, the United Nations Climate Panel was set up to deal with global warming, and they had to find that CO2 was causing a climate crisis. Because if they failed to find that, scientifically, they had no reason to exist. And as a bonus, when the UN could hype the fear of climate change by CO2, they also got to be in charge of the 'solution' with all these UN conferences. The fix was in, and the United Nations sets the agenda. We had the UN say last fall that 'we own the science and we partnered with Google' to make sure search returns come back only with UN-favorable scientific views on the internet. So this is how they create a consensus. The same thing we saw in COVID. They banned, censored, de-platformed the scientists who dissented, and they only promoted the ones that are approved by the state. We saw it in COVID, we are seeing it in climate."

CNN analyst: ‘I watched the first episode of the post-Carlson 8 p.m. ET hour on Fox’ featuring ‘climate change denier Marc Morano’ who ‘seemed to make a Nazi reference’CNN Analysis by Zachary B. Wolf: "The guest, climate change denier Marc Morano, seemed to make a Nazi reference by invoking the anti-fascist speeches of the German Pastor Martin Niemoller. While Niemoller was trying to make points about complacency during the rise of Nazis, Morano’s version of the words were about his opposition to curbing carbon emissions.
“First they came for your energy. Then they came for your gas powered cars, your freedom of movement, your cheap flights. And now they’re coming for your food,” Morano said, suggesting New York Mayor Eric Adams would eventually try to outlaw the consumption of meat when in fact he has only pledged to limit the spending of city funds on it. “They’re going after our modern diet,” Morano said. “You will eat nothing to be happy according to this plan.”


Watch: Morano on Fox News Channel: Climate agenda is ‘coming for your food’ – ‘They’re always looking for reasons why the rest of us can’t be free’Fox News Channel - Fox News Tonight - Broadcast April 24, 2023

"First, they came for your energy. Then they came for your gas-powered cars, your freedom of movement, your cheap flights. Now they're coming for your food," Morano, author of "The Great Reset: Global Elites and the Permanent Lockdown," said on "Fox News Tonight." "They will be monitoring what you eat. What’s coming next are the restrictions," Morano said. "We are already seeing it globally with a net-zero commitment. They’re going after high-yield agriculture trying to collapse them. We saw the disaster in Sri Lanka. You also have Bill Gates… America's number one single farmland owner and his goal is to get us to eat his billions of dollars invested in lab-grown synthetic beef made from the stem cells of animals and literally put it in a steel vat and printed on a 3D printer. Not making that up. The fix is in."
"This will only happen if we allow it. They’re going after our modern diet. You will eat nothing and be happy according to this plan," he added.






They're always looking for reasons why the rest of us can’t be free. Now they’re going after rice production. There’s a big story in major media about rice causing all this global warming and emissions. But going after the meat is a way to make everything a problem in a climate emergency. Therefore, they have to be in charge of all this food. They’re not going to try to ban it. They will take over the means of production so the rest of us don’t destroy the Earth. We have to be managed. That’s what we're looking at."

Watch: Morano on Fox & Friends: Identity politics has ‘truly invaded’ the climate & science worlds – Talks Environmental Justice, Green New Deal & ChinaFox News Channel - Fox & Friends - Broadcast April 22, 2023

Morano: "Identity politics has truly invaded the climate world but also the just in general, in the science world. In the last few years, what the Biden administration has been witnessing is NASA scientists saying that climate change is caused by white supremacy. We have a Rhode Island professor saying that the data is racist, that science and technology are racist, and you can't rely on it. So how is it Biden administration can even evaluate whether their programs are working when the data is racist? And they're pushing things like crash test dummies are misogynistic because they're all male dummies -- this is all coming from the Biden administration. And now we will be spending billions of dollars to correct what they call 'environmental justice.' We're no longer Americans who all deal with the environment. We're now going to be subdivided into categories for money and handouts to different communities and to the bureaucracies that manage the money. It won't even go to the people allegedly impacted by this environmental racism when they seek environmental justice. But this is just another playing card and massive federal spending by the government and to divide more and more Americans."


‘If you don’t support the Green New Deal — You are a gramma killer!’ Climate change is the new Covid – Morano on Andrew Lawton Show talks how public health links climate to more virusesCanada’s public health officials have recently added “climate change,” “capitalism,” and “colonization” to an ever-growing list of public health threats, in a report written for Dr. Theresa Tam. Climate Depot’s Marc Morano joined True North’s Andrew Lawton to discuss the potential consequences of this move, including the possibility of climate lockdowns and authoritarian restrictions.

Erick Stakelbeck: "Marc Morano, founder of ClimateDepot.com. You literally wrote the book on the Great Reset, and Marc in the book, you detail the origins of what can only be called a movement headed up today really by Klaus Schwab, the World Economic Forum. ... The Great Reset -- this is the definitive volume on this movement."
Marc Morano on what the Great Reset is: "Since civilization began, the ruling elites, the ruling classes have always tried to invent reasons why the rest of us -- the unwashed masses -- can't be free."
Morano on China envy: "What happened in March 2020, why this is the most important date for this entire change of our lifetime, was the once-free West emulated one-party Chinese rule Communist Party rule."
Morano: "WEF's Klaus Schwab, in 1971, started the World Economic Forum. He came out with stakeholder capitalism, and stakeholder capitalism is the precursor essentially or another version of or another word for Environment Social and Governance or ESG. And the idea is you no longer evaluate private businesses, capitalism, free markets, on money returns, or delivering products efficiently or the bottom line. It's now going to be evaluated on do you accept the 53 genders. Are you following Critical Race Theory? What do you think of the 1619 project? What do you think of transgender ideology, and are you following Net Zero climate goals?"
Morano on the Great Reject: "The Berlin Wall fell live on CNN, and that didn't fall because the East German Parliament decided, 'Oh you know 40 Years of Soviet oppression, let's let the people be free.' It fell because people no longer gave their consent to tyranny, and that has got to be our model going forward. We cannot consent."

Marc Morano: CBS News reported that it's more expensive in many places now to recharge an electric car vs. fueling a gas for powered car in parts of the U.S. and in Europe. In Germany, half the population can't even afford a gas-powered car. The Biden Administration's EPA is trying to statutorily ban gas-powered cars. It is literally trying to create car shortages. We will have less freedom of movement. You will go nowhere and be happy. ... Their green energy policy is the greatest national security threat the U.S. faces. It will make us more dependent on China. Here's the kicker, there are reports China has passed the U.S. and South Korea as the world's leading exporter of cars. Chinese-made cars are heading to the number one exporter in the world. One of the few things America could boast of was American automobiles, and we are now possibly ceding that to Chinese exports. ... EVs have to be charged on a fossil fuel grid. We are not saving the earth.

Must Watch: ESG (Environmental, social, & corporate governance) explained in 1-minute video – Best explanation you will ever see

Watch: Morano on TV talks Biden’s EPA ‘intentionally creating car shortages in the U.S.’ by ‘bypassing democracy’ – ‘Let’s call it what it is a gas-powered car ban’.
TBN Centerpoint - Broadcast April 12, 2023
Marc Morano: "We did not get to vote on whether we wanted to ban gas-powered cars -- it's just happening to us...They're banning gas-powered cars. That's the goal here. Gavin Newsom started in California - then many states had trigger laws to follow suit. This is now a corporate government collusion because you have the World Bank telling automakers we're not going to finance the creation of gas-powered cars, you have corporate banks announcing they're not going to give out car loans for gas-powered cars. And if you're lucky enough to still have a gas-powered car in a decade, you now have cities across the country in Colorado, and California, banning the creation of new gas stations -- to do what? To create gas shortages."
Morano: "This is the most insane part. China is now becoming the world's number one automaker came out of nowhere, by the way, why because of the EV mandates because of the EV subsidies, and because of the banning on gas-powered cars throughout Europe, and the United States. We're empowering China by doing this, and we're doing nothing for the planet... You can't even write a Hollywood script this dystopian, but this is what's being imposed upon us as we speak."


USA Today Is Coming for Your ‘Pollution’-Spewing Lawn Mower – Claims ‘a commercial gas leaf blower’ produces emissions ‘equal to driving from Denver to Los Angeles’USA Today: Advocates say using a commercial gas leaf blower for an hour produces emissions equal to driving from Denver to Los Angeles. - “Critics say battery-powered machines aren't as strong as gas-powered ones, and some people also worry about having to buy new equipment, which is generally more expensive.” But it gets worse: “[American Green Zone Alliance Daniel] Mabe says someone starting a small landscaping business could buy the necessary gas-powered equipment for about $6,000, but the electric equivalents could cost three times that.”

“Here we go again,” Climate Depot Founder Marc Morano said in comments to MRC Business. “Every day Americans wake up to find that some new unelected bureaucracy or bureaucrat has determined that in order to save the planet, a major modern tool or convenience is going to be banned.” Morano blasted USA Today for pushing woke, eco agitprop: "Forcing Americans to pay three times higher for electric equipment in order to save the planet and meet climate goals -- is unacceptable."
Morano: "Will Bill Gates, Leonardo DiCaprio, Al Gore, John Kerry, and UN officials give up private jet flying," Morano questioned. "Or is it just ordinary Americans who have to give up gas leaf blowers, gas stoves, and gas lawn mowers?"





Green Energy Industry Admits It Needs Cheap Chinese Goods To Survive – Panic as Congress pushes to impose tariffs on Chinese solar panels’The green energy industry is scrambling as Congress pushes forward with legislation that would impose costly tariffs on Chinese solar panels, a move that industry leaders say would cripple their business given their overwhelming reliance on cheap Chinese suppliers. ... China controls more than 80 percent of the world's solar panel production, a figure that hasn't waned as Biden spends hundreds of billions of dollars on green energy subsidies intended to give the United States the ability to "compete with China." Instead, U.S. solar companies have been flooded with increased demand and have turned to China to satisfy it. ... When the United States imposed tariffs on Chinese solar companies to combat those illegal practices, China got around the tariffs by shipping its products through a handful of nations in Southeast Asia, including Cambodia, Malaysia, and Vietnam.




Hundreds of scientists blast ‘zealots’ pushing plant-based diets, argue meat is crucial for health
NY Post: Experts behind nine new research papers published in Animal Frontiers are among nearly 1,000 signatures on a declaration looking to prove the value of red meat amid a global increase in vegetarianism and veganism. “Livestock-derived foods provide a variety of essential nutrients and other health-promoting compounds, many of which are lacking in diets even among those populations with higher incomes,” the declaration states. “Well-resourced individuals may be able to achieve adequate diets while heavily restricting meat, dairy and eggs. However, this approach should not be recommended for general populations.”

Axios: Companies are laying low on ESG as backlash intensifies – ‘Companies don’t want to talk about their ESG goals anymore’Companies don't want to talk about their environmental, social and governance goals anymore, experts in ESG and communications tell Axios.
Why it matters: Promoting ESG policies was once an easy layup to score good press — and theoretically move toward bettering society — but now it's a way to court controversy, the ire of politicians, and attention from well-funded anti-ESG groups. A dozen financial companies, including BlackRock, Blackstone and KKR, now list anti-ESG efforts as a risk in their annual reports, the Financial Times recently reported.

MIT analysis: EV batteries production ‘more material-intensive than producing traditional combustion engines’ – ‘For every tonne of mined lithium, 15 tonnes of CO2 are emitted into the air’MIT: Producing lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles is more material-intensive than producing traditional combustion engines, and the demand for battery materials is rising...Currently, most lithium is extracted from hard rock mines or underground brine reservoirs, and much of the energy used to extract and process it comes from CO2-emitting fossil fuels. Particularly in hard rock mining, for every tonne of mined lithium, 15 tonnes of CO2 are emitted into the air.
Battery materials come with other costs, too. Mining raw materials like lithium, cobalt, and nickel is labor-intensive, requires chemicals and enormous amounts of water—frequently from areas where water is scarce—and can leave contaminants and toxic waste behind. 60% of the world’s cobalt comes from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where questions about human rights violations such as child labor continue to arise. ...
Despite the environmental footprint of manufacturing lithium-ion batteries, this technology is much more climate-friendly than the alternatives, Shao-Horn says.

Analysis: How Democrats’ Push For Electric Cars Endangers National Security – China ‘could very well be the sole manufacturer of the EVs’


Feds admit offshore wind can kill whales!Despite public proclamations of innocence, it turns out BOEM and NOAA clearly acknowledge the deadly threat of offshore wind development to marine mammals. Not surprisingly they do it in documents that are subject to judicial review, lest they be caught fibbing. Of course these admissions are well hidden, buried in the depths of thousand page documents, but they are there to be found. These are the Draft Environmental Impact Statements (DEIS) that precede each offshore wind project. They are jointly prepared by BOEM and NOAA.

RFK Jr. red-pilled on climate agenda?! RFK Jr. declares climate ‘being exploited by the WEF & Bill Gates’ in ‘the same way that COVID was exploited’ – ‘Top-down totalitarian controls on society’Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on The Kim Iversen Show - Broadcast April 25, 2023
RFK Jr.: "The climate issues and pollution issues are being exploited by the World Economic Forum and Bill Gates and all of these big Mega billionaires the same way that COVID was exploited. To use it as an excuse to clamp down -- top-down totalitarian controls on society and to then to give us engineering solutions. And if you look closely as it turns out, the guys who are promoting those engineering solutions are the people who own the IPs, the patents for those solutions. It's being used.
They've given climate chaos a bad name because people now see that it's just another crisis that's being used to strip mine the wealth of the poor and to enrich billionaires. I, for 40 years, have had the same policy on climate and engineering. You can go check my speeches from the 1980s, and I've said the most important solution for environmental issues is not top-down controls, it's free market capitalism and what we have in this country now is not free market capitalism; it's corporate crony capitalism. It's capitalism, cushy, kind of socialism for the rich, and a brutal, barbaric merciless capitalism for the poor."


Wash Post: ‘Large-scale wind & solar farms require at least 10 times as much land per unit as coal- & natural gas-fired power plants’WaPo: America's energy transition hinges on decisions about land use, report says. There’s an often-overlooked aspect of America’s energy transition: It will require a lot of land. That means decisions about land use could have a profound impact on the speed and scale of the nation’s shift to clean energy, according to an analysis shared first with The Climate 202 by the ICF Climate Center, a climate research group within global consulting firm ICF.
Large-scale wind and solar farms require at least 10 times as much land per unit as coal- and natural gas-fired power plants, including the land used to produce and transport the fossil fuels, research shows. But only a fraction of all land is suitable for development. One site might have the wrong slope for solar panels, while another area might be home to an endangered species that development could doom. If developers pick the wrong site, they risk undermining goals of the Inflation Reduction Act, the landmark climate law that offers billions of dollars worth of tax credits for renewable energy projects nationwide.
