‘Homemade bombs’ found at construction site for Northvolt EV battery plant in Quebec

MONTREAL – The company building a major plant for electric vehicle batteries in Quebec says “homemade bombs” were found this morning at the construction site east of Montreal.

Paolo Cerruti, co-founder of Swedish manufacturer Northvolt, says company employees discovered bombs had been placed over the weekend under machinery “with clear intent to harm our workers.”

He says the triggering devices did not work and the company contacted police.

Climate Jihad Joins the Campus Jihad

Fueling the surge of violence from the Neo-Nazi Left.

Last December, the Biden White house welcomed leaders of the Climate Defiance group, including co-founder Michael Greenberg, for consultations with Biden’s clean energy czar John Podesta. On April 18, Climate Defiance disrupted a Washington event for Sen. Lisa Murkowski, accused of being an “ecocidal pyromaniac.” Climate Defense now aims to “shut down” the annual congressional baseball game at Nationals Park on June 9. While that awaits, legislators might dial it back to June 14, 2017.

NBC Wonders: Why the ‘Average Person’ Doesn’t Understand the Climate Crisis?

Open contempt for average people and attempts at influencing the election. That’s what was on display during NBC’s Today 3rd Hour last Friday when the co-anchors sat down with far-left climate alarmist Al Gore. They huffed about how “the average person just doesn’t get it” when it came to the so-called climate crisis. They also urged him to speak about how crucial the upcoming presidential election was for battling climate change.

Climate warrior Jane Goodall isn’t sold on carbon taxes and electric vehicles

She gets better advice than Trudeau.

World-renowned primatologist and climate activist Jane Goodall says carbon pricing schemes like the one Canada has deployed aren’t a silver bullet to solve the pressing threat of climate change.

Speaking to CBC News during the Ottawa stop of her cross-country tour of Canada this week, Goodall said the jury’s out on whether levying a consumer price on emissions will meaningfully improve the climate picture over the long term.

Goodall, who just turned 90, said a carbon tax can seem punitive to consumers — making a measure to fight climate change seem like a costly chore.

What has climate change got to do with the ECHR?

In Verein KlimaSeniorinnen Schweiz and Others v Switzerland – a case brought against the Swiss state by a group of elderly Swiss women – the ECHR has ruled that the Swiss government failed to implement ‘sufficient measures’ to combat climate change. According to the court’s judgement, there have been ‘critical gaps in the process of putting in place the relevant domestic regulatory framework, including a failure by the Swiss authorities to quantify, through a carbon budget or otherwise, national greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions limitations’. The ECHR has decided that Switzerland’s supposedly inadequate attempts to tackle climate change violate Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which guarantees the ‘right to respect for private and family life’.

Greta’s class war

The green ideology is the enemy of working people.

It was like a case study in indifference. There was privileged Gen Zer Greta Thunberg and other Euro eco-brats smiling and flicking peace signs as they called on the Dutch government to stop subsidising fossil-fuel companies. Meanwhile, the Dutch people, very few of whom are the offspring of opera singers with the ear of the world media, are suffering one of the largest spikes in energy prices in all of Europe. Their bills are through the roof. They’re reeling from the ‘pain of high energy costs’, as some in the media describe it. And yet in sweeps giggling Greta and her barmy eco-army to agitate for less government backing for energy production, which would likely hike the price even more.

Canada’s eco-extremism threat is flying under the radar

I’d start by tailing this asshole.

The dangerous rise in eco-extremism in Canada is fueled by identity politics and exaggerated climate anxieties

The rhetoric surrounding “decolonization” and identity politics, coupled with exaggerated concerns about climate change, is giving rise to a dangerous form of eco-extremism that is spreading unchecked across the country.

This trend is vividly illustrated by the February 2022 terrorist assault on a Coastal GasLink pipeline project site in British Columbia. Approximately 20 masked assailants armed with axes and flare guns descended upon the site, instilling fear among security personnel and workers and causing an estimated $20 million in damages, as reported by B.C.’s Independent Contractors and Business Association.

Ethics Council: “Restricting Freedoms” May Be Necessary To Fight Climate Change

The government may be forced to limit the available choices for citizens in order to battle predicted ‘devastating consequences’ of climate change. That’s the message in an opinion titled “Climate Justice,” published on March 13th by the German Ethics Council.

In the opinion, the Ethics Council—a board of expert advisors established by German law—recommends actions to be taken by corporations, individuals, and the government to ensure the effects of climate change do not unjustly burden “those who are not so well-off.”
