RIP Apollo VII astronaut Walt Cunningham – Hero of space & science – Slammed UN climate summit for perpetrating the ‘one of the biggest frauds in the field of science’



On January 3, 2023, America lost a hero and CFACT lost a friend. Colonel Walter Cunningham was 90. "Walt" is best known for flying in space as lunar module pilot on Apollo VII, the first manned space mission after a tragic fire on the ground killed the crew of Apollo I. Walt worked closely with CFACT and joined our delegations to COP 19, the UN climate conference in Warsaw, and COP 20 in Lima, Peru.

Marc Morano Statement: "The world has lost a great man. Walt was a hero of space, science, and life. I got the opportunity to travel globally with Walt to Europe and South America and be at his side at UN climate debates. Walt was also featured in Climate Hustle 1 & 2. Walt loved his country, loved science and could not sit quietly while the UN bastardized climate science for political power. My prayers go out to his family and friends."

‘Is CBS really this stupid???’ Features failed doomsday preacher Paul Ehrlich making more dire predictions

Watch: In 2023, CBS ’60 Minutes’ Promotes Paul Ehrlich Warning of Doom for Earth- But in 1970s, Ehrlich Claimed Billions Would Die From Global CoolingPaul Ehrlich's failed predictions from the video: "We'll never be 7 billion people in the year 2000."
Ehrlich's spectacular failed predictions from 1970s: "As you know, we're already cooling the planet. If the weather changes, which now seems to be entrained in the United States of the wrong kind, our corn production may go on a great deal of our wheat production and we may be hungry very, very fast because we do not have that large as reserve supply in the United States.
More flashback doomsday rhetoric: "That disaster will take the form of famine, plague or war. Every person you add to the planet increases the chances of a thermonuclear war. Everybody in this room may die 20 years young, simply because we're using hard pesticides. We're close to famine in the United States we're very close to a worldwide plague that could kill virtually everybody. Sometime in the next 15 years, the end will come and by the end, I mean an utter breakdown of the capacity of the planet to support humanity. Every person you add to the planet dramatically increases the chances of having a worldwide plague which could kill almost everyone. These growth rates are preposterous they cannot be sustained."




No, Humans Are NOT Causing A ‘Sixth Mass Extinction’ – CBS ’60 Minutes’ sacrifices its credibility in selling apocalyptic pseudoscienceMichael Shellenberger: To its credit, CBS notes how wrong Ehrlich has been over the years. “The alarm Erlich sounded in 1968 warned that overpopulation would trigger widespread famine,” noted CBS News’ Scott Pelley. “He was wrong about that. The Green Revolution fed the world.” But Pelley goes on to claim that Ehrlich is right about humans causing a “sixth mass extinction.” He’s not. He’s wrong about that, too.



There is no overpopulation crisis


Professor: Climate change is ‘white colonization of the atmosphere’Erin Fitz-Henry, who teaches anthropology and “development studies” at the University of Melbourne, writes in The Conversation that the notion of climate change being “racist” actually isn’t new; the medical journal The Lancet noted that as of 2015, the countries of the “Global North” accounted for 92 percent of “excess” CO2 emissions. ... “[M]ost rich white countries, including Australia, are doing precious little to properly address this inequity,” Fitz-Henry writes. “For the most part, they refuse to accept the climate debt they owe to poorer countries and communities […] this injustice – a type of ‘atmospheric colonisation’ – is a form of deeply entrenched colonial racism that arguably represents the most pressing global equity issue of our time.”


UCLA law prof & UN ‘Racism’ Envoy: ‘Hi-tech capitalist solutions’ for climate change are ‘perpetuating racism’Tendayi Achiume, who’s finishing up her tenure as United Nations Special Rapporteur on Contemporary Forms of Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance, told The Guardian that “green solutions […] are being implemented at the expense of racially and ethnically marginalised groups and Indigenous peoples.”
"The rush towards sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels, including electric cars and renewable energy, was creating what Achiume described as 'green sacrifice zones', where already marginalised groups were exposed to environmental harms from the extraction of the very minerals needed for green tech."


Benny Peiser: The UK & Europe are destroying their own economies with green policies… without reducing CO2 emissionsPeiser: "In Europe, we are degrading our own economies and degrading our nations, in the name of saving the planet without doing anything about CO2 emissions because we are just shifting them abroad, we're just exporting them. That is at the core of all these 27 COPs we've seen over the last 30 years. It's always the same outcome. The developing world, China, India, are not going to risk their own economies, the well-being of their people, their energy security, their national security. We're doing it and we're paying the price for it. And this is the biggest warning to Americans: If you want to avoid your energy bills going up fourfold, don't do what we are doing."



Flashback 2019: Prof at Cambridge U. claims: ‘Democracy is the planet’s biggest enemy’ – ‘The authoritarian Chinese system has some advantages when it comes to addressing climate change’
David Runciman in Foreign Policy mag: Runciman is a politics professor at Cambridge University and the author of How Democracy Ends: "If electoral democracy is inadequate to the task of addressing climate change, and the task is the most urgent one humanity faces, then other kinds of politics are urgently needed. The most radical alternative of all would be to consider moving beyond democracy altogether. The authoritarian Chinese system has some advantages when it comes to addressing climate change: One-party rule means freedom from electoral cycles and less need for public consultation. Technocratic solutions that put power in the hands of unelected experts could take key decisions out of the hands of voters." ...
But there are two reasons to doubt that this is what the climate emergency needs. First, any transition from a democratic to a post-democratic system would be massively disruptive....Second, it would not satisfy Thunberg’s generation either. She was not asking for less democracy. She was asking for a democracy in which she could be heard."

Watch: Morano on Tucker Carlson talking the ‘intended consequences’ of skyrocketing electricity prices & proposes naming blackouts after politicians pushing ‘green’ energy



Fox News Channel - Tucker Carlson Tonight - Broadcast January 4, 2023
Morano: "These are the intended consequences of these policies...We ought to start naming energy blackouts after the politicians' who push these green policies."

"The United States has had electrical grids for over 100 years -- over a century, we know how to provide power. There is no excuse for having energy shortages, blackouts, and high skyrocketing prices. The only excuse is politics, and a net zero Green New Deal climate agenda has crept into our policies. You have solar and wind being subsidized, and there's no penalty for their unreliability, their lack of battery storage, or the lack of energy they produce. They're treated equally, which then forces grids to incorporate them -- solar, and wind mandates -- into the grid, and then you end up with either shortages or, consequently, skyrocketing prices. We ought to start naming energy blackouts after the politicians' who push these green policies."

Morano puts eco-terrorists suspected of vandalizing power stations into perspective: ‘The real terrorism to the grid is the Green New Deal proposals & the Inflation Reduction Act’Eco-Terrorists suspected of vandalizing power stations, thousands without power
Morano on Joe Piscopo Show: But here's the here's the big -- the bigger picture. Yeah, this is kind of like the guy holding up at gunpoint and taking your wallet on the street. But the real terrorism to the grid isn't coming from the people attacking this grid. It's coming from people like [former California Governor] Arnold Schwarzenegger, who 15 years ago signed the 'historic' California climate legislation, which led to California facing blackouts and the highest electricity prices in the country.
The real terrorists to our grid are the Green New Deal proposals and the Inflation Reduction Act, and solar and wind mandates. There is no reason why any modern grid should have energy shortages. The only reason they have shortages is because of the green agenda that's infiltrated itself into our energy policy due to due to politics based on wacky ideological science. So we can be mad at these activists for actually torching and destroying the grid or going after SUVs. But the real culprit is green energy policies.

Great News! ‘Climate misinformation’ spreads on Musk’s Twitter – Twitter boosts ‘accounts of serial climate misinformers’ including ‘Morano, who runs a climate denial blog’Politico's E&E: Since Musk’s purchase of Twitter two months ago, some prominent climate deniers have returned to the platform after being banned for pushing misinformation about the Covid-19 pandemic. There also are signs that scientists have left Twitter after their posts depicting global warming research were swarmed by critics. ...
Marc Morano, who runs a blog that routinely attacks climate science, said that since Musk bought Twitter the appearance of his name in climate search results “appear to be juiced by the new algorithms.” “My Twitter account and many others opposing the ‘consensus’ climate view have all increased visibility dramatically since Musk took over Twitter,” he said in an interview. “Whatever Musk is altering, I hope he keeps it up.” Indeed, the number of tweets rejecting climate science have never been higher than in 2022, according to research by the University of London conducted on behalf of The Times newspaper. There have been more than 850,000 climate denial tweets or retweets so far this year. There were 650,000 such messages in 2021 and 220,000 in 2020, the analysis found. ...
Twitter appears to now boost the accounts of serial climate misinformers, including Steve Milloy, a former Trump EPA transition official; Patrick Moore, former head of the CO2 Coalition; and Morano, who runs a climate denial blog. In recent Twitter searches, their accounts appeared in top results with climate scientists, media outlets and NOAA.

Sen Jim Inhofe’s legacy: A vast alumni network on climate, energy
Marc Morano, another former Inhofe staffer, has dedicated his career to denying climate change as founder and executive director of Climate Depot. Morano, the Climate Depot executive director, said that Inhofe “helped me immensely to understand how to oppose bad ideas in Washington, and he aided me in launching my climate opposition career,” said Morano.
“He attracted high-level talented staff, and the proof of that is how his former staff members turned into a ‘Who’s Who’ of those running official Washington’s environmental policies many years later.”

Climate Depot's Morano comment: "But, Wait! Walls to stop illegal immigration are bad for the environment, but Demilitarized Zones acting as walls between nations are somehow act as wildfire sanctuaries?! Why does the corporate media praise the ecological benefits of the DMZ zone border between North & South Korea but issue dire warnings about any U.S. border?!"
See: 2019 NPR: In Korean DMZ, Wildlife Thrives. Some Conservationists Worry Peace Could Disrupt It - The "DMZ, a 155-mile-long, 2.5-mile-wide strip of land that has been virtually untouched by humans for more than six decades. This strip of land became an unintentional wildlife sanctuary when the two Koreas pulled back from the area after an armistice was signed in their 1950-53 war." ... The DMZ is fortified with tall, barbed-wire fences, riddled with land mines and heavily guarded by the respective countries' militaries, keeping all human disturbances to a minimum. After people left the area, plants and wildlife were able to grow unrestrained. But with increasing goodwill between North and South Korea, environmentalists like Kim fear that the protected nature of the area is changing and may lead to detrimental effects on the wildlife. ... According to South Korea's Ministry of Environment, more than 5,000 species of plants and animals have been identified in the area, including more than 100 that are protected. Vulnerable, near-threatened and endangered animals in the DMZ include the Siberian musk deer, white-naped crane, red-crowned crane, Asiatic black bear, cinereous vulture and long-tailed goral — a species of wild goat.

Malm: “We shouldn't engage in assassinations or terrorism, or use arms and things like that,” he says. “But until that line or boundary, we need virtually everything … all the way up to sabotage and property destruction.”

Watch: Morano on OAN TV on how Fauci is linking COVID & climate- ‘COVID doesn’t need climate. Climate needs COVID to save it’
One America News TV - Broadcast December 15, 2022 - In Focus with Addison Smith
Morano: "With this merging of COVID and climate, Fauci is not an outlier here. A study in the journal Nature, the Harvard School of Medicine ,230 medical journals -- have come out and said we need to have the same template that we had for COVID to fight climate. The World Health Organization has declared climate change the greatest Public Health threat of the 21st century. This is the World Health Organization. So Fauci is following along this lead.

The key here is COVID doesn't need climate. Climate needs COVID to save it because climate was going nowhere. Even when President Obama had super majorities in the House and Senate, he failed to get climate bills through. Never even put climate up for a vote in the Senate. Obama had to go through executive order and of course, Gallup polling shows no change in concern from the late 80s to current days on climate. So they needed to activate climate. This is the new meme and Fauci's pushing it. If you don't support the Green New Deal or the U.S U.N Paris agreement -- you're a grandma killer because unchecked climate change leads to more COVID-like viruses."

WaPo: "From Kenya to India and the Philippines, more frequent and intense extreme weather events have led to escalating threats against women and girls" - For these and many other women around the world, the threat of violence could become more common as climate change makes extreme weather events more intense and frequent. ... A 2021 study of extreme weather events in Kenya by researchers at St. Catherine University in Minnesota found the economic stresses caused by flooding and drought or extreme heat exacerbated violence against women in their homes. The research, which used satellite and national health survey data, showed that domestic violence rose by 60 percent in areas that experienced extreme weather. That analysis, and 40 others published this year as part of a global review in the journal The Lancet, found a rise in gender-based violence during or after extreme weather events. ...
“Heat waves, floods, climate-induced disasters increase sexual harassment, mental and physical abuse, femicide, reduce economic and educational opportunity and increase the risk of trafficking due to forced migration,” said McGovern, who added that the data remains limited on some fronts, including on psychological and emotional violence and attacks against minority groups. ... ‘The violence peaks during the floods’ ... Scientists emphasize that extreme weather events do not cause domestic or gender-based violence, but instead exacerbate existing pressures or make it easier for perpetrators to carry out such violence.

German village to be razed for coal mine – Global coal consumption rises to all-time high amidst energy crisisActivists built barricades and set them on fire while the police prepared for the planned eviction of the village Luetzerath. Activists threw fireworks, bottles and stones at police outside the village of Luetzerath before the situation calmed down and officers pulled back, German news agency dpa reported...The hamlet is to be demolished to expand the Garzweiler lignite mine, despite protests from environmentalists who fear millions more tons of heat-trapping carbon dioxide will be released into the atmosphere.
.
Even though global coal demand is set to increase only marginally this year, it is enough to push it to an all-time high, amidst the global energy crises, says the International Energy Agency (IEA). The IEA’s latest Coal 2022 report forecasts that the world’s coal consumption will remain at similar levels in the next few years in the absence of strong efforts to accelerate the transition to clean energy use. The use of coal around the world is set to rise by 1.2% in 2022, surpassing 8 billion tonnes in a single year for the first time. This would eclipse the previous record set in 2022, says the IEA.

2022: The Year ESG Fell to Earth

There is absolutely no excuse for power shortagesDAVID STROM: Power shortages, though, are a different beast. Shortages result from human failures, particularly a failure to plan for predictable increased need for power. Relying on intermittent power sources, insufficient backup, and failing to invest in reliability...The federal government has been pouring hundreds of billions of dollars into infrastructure investments, but the goal has been to implement a “green new deal,” not to ensure that our electrical grid is optimally reliable for the end customers. This is malfeasance...At best, they don’t care whether it is reliable. At worst, they intend to produce shortages to constrain our mobility, shrink our living spaces, and even socialize the provision of heat and electricity...
People don’t choose poverty for themselves, but the power hungry often choose it for others. A vibrant middle class is difficult to manage. People living a life of drudgery less so...There are plenty of examples where countries have done it. Venezuela, Cuba, China in the 50s & 60s, the Soviet Union all chose to follow policies that made life worse for ideological reasons.

Worldwide Coal Use Set To Hit An All-Time High Due To Energy CrisisGlobal coal consumption will reach an all-time record by the end of 2022 as shortages of natural gas have driven up energy prices, forcing countries to burn more coal, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).

Biden Presided Over Record 7% Spike In CO2 Emissions During His First Year In Office Due to Lockdown ReboundThe nation’s carbon emissions went up by 7%, the highest percentage increase ever recorded, as the U.S. produced more than 4.9 billion metric tons of energy-related carbon dioxide in 2021, representing a 325 million metric ton increase from 2020, according to an EIA report...Following the coronavirus outbreak, carbon emissions produced by energy consumption fell by 547 million metric tons or 11% in 2020 compared to 2019 levels. The bulk (56%) of the rise in energy consumption came from the transportation industry which was heavily impacted by the coronavirus pandemic and the subsequent economic recovery.
Total emissions in 2021 remained 243 million metric tons lower than they were in 2019 and 1.11 billion metric tons lower than 2007’s peak levels, the EIA found.
