Global Warming, Energy, and The Clowns on the Left

  By Rich Kozlovich

This was stuck in my "Draft File" so it's a bit dated, and while I've updated it, the facts, the issues, the mentality and the insanity remain the same.  

First, Europe is in an intellectual, social, economic and philosophical mess regarding immigration, global warming, energy, agriculture and green insanity in general, and it's an insanity that's suicidal.  Secondly, none of this was a global "challenge" until Biden took office and filled his administration with leftist misfits working to destroy America with fallacious arguments about how bad others have it in the world so according to them, we need to stop complaining.  

What does the price of gasoline, natural gas, food and shelter around the world have to do with the price of things here?  There's starvation in places in the world.  Should we then accept food shortages as normal in order to be like them?  There's serious health issues around the world.  Should we abandon our health care to match theirs, especially when we can see how well it's working "in England, for example, where a 61-year-old man with a cancer diagnosis was just told that he must wait three years (not a typo) to be seen at a hospital."

The price of energy, inflation, taxes, spending and these insane COP27 schemes are causing and will continue to cause unnecessary suffering.  But suffering is the beginning of wisdom. 

• More than 8 in 10 Americans say the economy is ‘poor or not so good’ under Biden 
• Progressive America is the Twilight Zone
• Democrat senator says it doesn't matter — to her -- how high gas prices are
• Janet Yellen Expects Inflation to Remain High, Shrugs Off Effects of Biden Spending Spree

• Biden EPA Nominee Demands U.S. Pay 'Climate Reparations'

The Biden administration has capitulated on UN demands we give hundreds of millions to the rest of the world:

A coalition of 130 nations, egged on by China, introduced a draft plan for loss and damage at COP 27 in Egypt.  This year it passed, despite U.S. climate envoy John Kerry’s recent statement that, “it’s a well-known fact that the United States and many other countries will not establish . . . some sort of legal structure that is tied to compensation or liability. That’s just not happening.”

Read the UN’s official plan to set up a “loss and damage” climate reparations scheme at CFACT.org

The language adopted by the COP sets up a framework for a future plan while leaving the details of who will pay for what deliberately nebulous.  Don’t take too much comfort from this watered down language.  This is how UN climate diplomacy operates.  First they place something into the text, assign committees to study and report back in the future, then decide who will pay.  Witness the infamous “Green Climate Fund” for which hundreds of billions of dollars are theoretically owed that developed nations continually (hopefully perpetually) avoid paying.  Every so often, however, payments are made.  President Obama twice sent $500 million in payments that Congress had appropriated for other purposes to the “GCF” just before President Trump took office.

As CFACT has reported, the inclusion of “loss and damage” in the COP 27 outcome represents the thin end of the wedge.  We can expect a chorus of demands for climate reparations from here on out.

This is really rich since China is pumping massive amount of CO2 into the atmosphere from all their coal fired plants, and they're not to be held accountable, so it's pretty clear Biden, Kerry and the whole Democrat party are now owned by China. 

Let's try and get this right.  This is nothing short of a massive shakedown by leftist misfit globalists.  All these climate claims are based on fraudulent science, corruption and outright lies and a desire by leftists and the world's elites to impose Medieval Age tyranny and conditions on humanity, including a massive reduction in the world's population.

Inflation is skyrocketing, and I remember the Carter years, and the difference then versus now was jobs.  Good paying factory jobs.  They're gone and the government is paying people to stay home and not get jobs, and then misfits like Schumer turn around and claim we need illegal immigrants because companies can't get enough help.   How insane is that?

International trade is dying, foreign policy is downright treasonous, domestic policy on immigration, along with education, diversity, equity and inclusion are destroying the very foundation of American culture, Biden can barely find his way to the bathroom without Jill to guide him, so it absolutely amazes me polls are showing Biden still has an over 40% approval rate.    

Another reason I've not believed in polls for over 25 years, and I have serious issues with prediction.  As many people have observed:  Prediction is really hard, especially about the future."  It get's harder when one is dishonest, as Another year, another round of global warming doomsday predictions that never came to pass, and one may reasonable conclude, "the so-called 'experts' don't know what they're talking about."

And kudos to Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, who feels banking needs to stick to banking:

[W]e should “stick to our knitting” and not wander off to pursue perceived social benefits that are not tightly linked to our statutory goals and authorities. . . [W]ithout explicit congressional legislation, it would be inappropriate for us to use our monetary policy or supervisory tools to promote a greener economy or to achieve other climate-based goals.   We are not, and will not be, a “climate policymaker.”

Finally, a man in a position of authority with a brain and a backbone.
