That’s the plan put forth by Globalist tyrants pushing the false narrative of a “Climate Change Crisis.” “Net Zero” is supposed to mean that by the year 2030, just six years from now, human beings will be putting “zero” so-called “greenhouse gases” into the atmosphere. Because according to the Globalist narrative, if we don’t drastically act now, human beings will destroy the world with CO2.
In 2015, the Paris Agreement was adopted at the UN Climate Change Conference. It took effect on November 4, 2016. Donald Trump took us out of the Paris Agreement when he took office; Biden signed us up again on his first day. This “Agreement” is a legally binding international treaty on climate change.
So, assuming it would be possible for all the nations of the earth to get to “Net Zero’ in the next six years, what will the result be? US energy secretary Jennifer Granholm recently testified before the Senate Energy Committee and dodged repeated questions on this, but basically stated “not much.” Reputable scientists agree. First, it will be impossible to reach what they call “Net Zero,” and even if we did, it would have virtually NO EFFECT on the earth’s climate. Even the UN’s Climate cabal has admitted the BEST we can hope for is less than a 1 degree rise in overall global temperatures.
But how is this “Climate Change Crisis” — and the Globalists’ “Net Zero” plan affecting us? Well, going back to the years when Obama was officially “in office,” he instigated sweeping new EPA restrictions, affecting existing power plants and halting the expansion of new ones. He stated, at that time, that anyone interested in launching new coal plants would be free to do so, but he also vowed to make sure his new regulations would ensure that if they tried, they’d go bankrupt. It was at this same time that he admitted the new regulations would cause the price of energy in this country to “skyrocket.”
Now, in his “third term,” with Biden acting as his proxy, energy independence for America is completely a thing of the past. Pipelines have been shut down, new power plants have not been built, even as the Regime is pushing to make everything “electric,” so as to reduce our “carbon footprint.” So while we’ll need an enormous amount of additional electric power, they’re making it impossible for us to produce it. This is by design.
But let’s look for a minute at the idea of “climate change.” It should be noted that the Earth has indeed warmed...but it has also cooled over the past 100 years. We see periods of above normal temperatures as well as periods of below normal temperatures. Above normal snowfall and below normal snowfall. These are cycles we go through, and honest scientists will tell you that there’s nothing to suggest that we’re facing catastrophic climate change anytime in the foreseeable future. What’s more, greenhouse gas emissions in the United States have actually fallen more than 25% over the past decade. Do you remember, a few years ago, when a team of “Climate Change Scientists” traveled to Antarctica to “prove” their claims of “global warming?” Their ship was trapped in the ice there for weeks. God definitely has a great sense of humor.
According to cfact.org, “the idea that there is a ‘scientific consensus’ does not hold up. Scientists who are skeptical about ‘dangerous manmade climate change’ have been speaking out for years. Even those who had been ‘alarmist’ about climate change for years are now admitting they do not know what the climate is doing.”
Cfact goes on to say, “The claim that ‘97% of scientists agree’ is based on 77 anonymous scientists who responded to an online survey. The survey started by seeking opinions from 10,257 scientists. However, the survey authors selectively whittled down the responses to just 77 scientists. So the 97% ‘consensus’ claim is not based on thousands of scientists or even hundreds, but 75 out of only 77 scientists. Thus, the often repeated ‘97% consensus’ is based on only 75 anonymous scientists. Yet, on this basis, some say we should tax and eliminate hydrocarbon use, severely restricting US job creation and economic growth.”
So, we’re now seeing the push to eliminate altogether the most abundant sources of energy we have: oil, natural gas and coal. We’re sinking untold trillions of dollars into things like solar and wind power, which have proven to be unreliable, extremely costly and inefficient. Not only is the Regime trying it’s best to phase out all internal combustion vehicles in favor of electric vehicles, now they’re banning gas stoves and furnaces. In May, New York became the first state to ban gas-powered stoves, furnaces and propane heating in all new residential buildings across the state. The law requires all-electric heating and cooking in new buildings within two years.
Last year, California ruled that by 2035, all new passenger cars and light trucks sold in the state must be electric.
The Globalists want everything electric, under the guise of mitigating “Climate Change.” But am I the only one that sees the absurdity of this? Apparently not. Even the most vigorous “virtue signalers” who support whatever the “latest thing” from the Regime may be, are coming to realize the utter stupidity of “The Plan.” This is, perhaps, best illustrated by the electric vehicles they’ve been so desperately pushing.
There are so many problems with electric cars, I can’t begin to list them all. But proponents claim they’re absolutely squeaky clean. No carbon emissions or nasty greenhouse gases with these. Super healthy for our environment and saving the planet, which is facing imminent disaster from us “rednecks” who still drive gas-powered cars.
Well, according to the International Energy Agency, an electric vehicle requires six times the mineral inputs of a comparable internal combustion engine. In addition, EV batteries are extremely big and heavy and are made with exotic, expensive, toxic and very flammable materials.
The primary metals in EV batteries include Nickel, Lithium, Cobalt, Copper and Rare Earth metals. The mining of these materials, their use in manufacturing and their ultimate disposal all present significant environmental challenges. Nearly 100% of traditional lead-acid batteries are recycled. But only 5% of the EV batteries are.
Moreover, the surface area disturbed by oil drilling is relatively small since the oil is extracted from under the ground. In contrast, the materials used to make EV batteries are obtained through open-pit horizontal mining, which is extremely damaging to wide areas of the environment. This means massive deforestation, a dramatic loss of animal habitats; not to mention that the metals to make these EV batteries are available only from a handful of third-world countries, where child and slave labor is commonplace.
And EV vehicles are loaded with problems. First, they have very short ranges when driving. Some claim you can drive 400 miles on a single charge, but the reality is, even the best of the best have a hard time making 150-200 miles. Once depleted, you can’t simply “fill up” again in five minutes. You have to charge your car anywhere from an hour to eight hours, or more, in order to drive another 150-200 miles. You may have seen the absurdity of the EV concept illustrated in online videos, where people travel with gas-powered Honda generators, so they can re-charge their EVs just enough to make it to the next town where hopefully they can find a place to plug in.
These new electric vehicles are also riddled with technical problems. In one case, a car was stuck on the side of the highway, completely out of power. When the owner got out to speak with a state trooper who stopped to assist, he made the mistake of closing his door. Once closed, and with the car battery dead, he had no way to get back inside. Thus, no way to put the car in neutral so it could be towed. And once towed, no way to open the charging port, because that, too, required electricity. Volkswagen recently announced a major recall on one of their EVs because the electronic door latches can malfunction and the car doors will just open on their own while driving down the highway.
Another common issue with EVs is spontaneous combustion. The batteries overheat or explode, causing massive fires. And because of the materials used in these batteries, these cars can literally burn for days, taking more than 50,000 gallons of water to try to put the fires out.
Meanwhile, our federal government is funneling trillions into EV manufacturing. EV dealerships are giving huge rebates, but a typical new Tesla will still cost you way more than a real car. Recently, I looked at used Teslas online, and vehicles just one year old with very few miles on them are going for 50% - 70% less than what they were purchased for just one year ago. Maybe the green “virtue signalers” learned a lesson.
Cities across the nation are definitely learning a hard lesson. According to an article on msn.com, “Between the federal government, states and municipalities, untold billions in taxpayer dollars have been spent adding electric buses to transit fleets across the US in an effort to reduce carbon emissions...however, cities from coast to coast are grappling with broken-down e-buses that cannot be fixed, are too expensive to fix or they’ve scrapped their electric fleets altogether.”
In cities like Asheville, North Carolina, Denver, Colorado Springs, Philadelphia, Austin, Texas, Phoenix, and all throughout California, electric bus fleets are either mostly not running, or not running at all. Many of these bus manufacturers have since gone bankrupt, so when these buses break down (which is common) the cities can no longer obtain parts to repair them. Billions of dollars have been spent to go “Net Zero” — and now these buses are simply taking up space in parking lot graveyards.
Insurance companies also charge significantly more to insure electric vehicles. My insurance man told me this is the case throughout the insurance industry, because once people discover they hate these cars, they can’t get rid of them without losing substantial amounts of money... so, many people deliberately wreck them to at least — hopefully — get their loans paid off.
And what, ultimately, is to become of a dead EV? Salvage yards don’t want them because they’re made of highly toxic materials, the batteries cannot be recycled because they’re dangerous and toxic. So far, no one has answered the question on this.
But one more point that must be made here: say you have an electric vehicle and you’re happy with it. You’re so pleased to be helping to “save the planet.” You only drive it to work and home again, plug it in at night and all is fine. You do understand that the electricity you charge your car with has to come from somewhere, right? That would be your local power station, which runs on natural gas, oil, coal or nuclear power. So after all this, you’re still using those “horrible” carbon-based commodities. And as the tyrannical push continues for everything to be electric, we’ve simultaneously limited our energy resources — on purpose — making electricity and energy in general much more expensive than it has to be.
Many are getting filthy rich off this “Climate Change” scam, but consumers are being taken to the cleaners. Stop believing the lies. Also, bear in mind that we need CO2 — it’s what plants, crops and trees breathe, and it’s what human beings and animals exhale. It’s how God designed His creation to operate. You should know that WE (humans) are the “carbon” the Globalists want to eliminate.
What does God say about all this? He made it clear in Genesis chapter 8. After the flood, the LORD said, “As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.”
That pretty much clears it up. Seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night... we will have cycles in our climate, and these cycles are natural, normal and God-ordained. And we will have these cycles for “as long as the earth endures.”
As for “Net Zero,” that’s the whole extent of what we, as human beings will get out of this demonic plan of the Globalists for the depopulation and tyrannical control of mankind. Through taxation, regulations, restrictions and shady backroom deals involving dirty money, they will net trillions.... while we net ZERO.
