Dems’ Climate Bill Overrules Supreme Court, Expands EPA’s Control Over Energy Industry

  • The Inflation Reduction Act defines “air pollutants” including carbon dioxide as “greenhouse gases.”
  • Some experts argue this legally authorizes the EPA to regulate greenhouse gases and encourage adopting renewable energy, while others were not so sure.
  • “There’s no definition there, it’s just sort of in a list, and it’s casually mentioned,” former Trump EPA transition team member Steve Milloy told the Daily Caller News Foundation said. “There’s no section that says carbon dioxide is an air pollutant under the Clean Air Act.”

Eating less meat could help Canada achieve its climate goals

Canadians could help the country meet its climate targets by cutting their meat and dairy consumption in half by 2050, a new report suggests.

Canada’s goal is to reduce planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions to at least 40 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030 and achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. While the Liberal government has outlined how it plans to achieve this in its 2030 emissions reduction plan, an assessment from the Canadian Climate Institute found the plan still puts Canada short of its goal by nine megatonnes.

Trudeau Hiring “Climate Police” As Canada Moves To Neo-Dictatorship

According to a Federal government website, Environment and Climate Change Canada “informs Canadians about protecting and conserving our natural heritage, and ensuring a clean, safe and sustainable environment for present and future generations.”

Sounds innocuous enough. Too bad it isn’t. In what appears to be a paean to George Orwell’s “1984,” the federal Ministry of Environment & Climate Change Canada (ECCC) is building a new facility in Winnipeg that will “be home to a firearms armoury, interrogation rooms, biological labs, media relations offices, “controlled quiet rooms,” and intelligence facilities.”

Bill Gates is quietly carrying out a sinister plan to force you to eat Fake Meat

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the largest charitable foundation in the world, has an agricultural agenda that supports agrochemicals, patented seeds, fake meat and corporate control — interests that undermine regenerative, sustainable, small-scale farming. One of the key players in this agenda is the widespread adoption of synthetic meat.

72% of farmers say crop yield will plummet under Trudeau’s emissions scheme

Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) policy analyst Taylor Brown has called Nitrogen an “essential element” for the success of Canada’s agricultural sector.

“While the government of Canada’s objective is to set a national target to reduce emissions, the primary method to achieve this is not to establish a mandatory reduction in fertilizer use,” said Brown.

“Coupled with rising costs and labour shortages, they are wondering how they’re going to continue saving the world.”

The Unintended Consequences of Declaring ‘Climate Emergency’

President Biden is toying with the idea of declaring climate change a national emergency. Proponents want him to usher in drastic changes to address climate change–bypassing approval from Congress.

But as the old saying goes, haste makes waste. We only need to remember untested environmental policies that sounded good but ended up creating a bigger mess.

Consider California. The Golden State threw every incentive it could at solar energy beginning in 2006. In turn, most new construction in California included solar panels. Despite lawmakers knowing solar energy was relatively untested. Solar energy is significantly less efficient than fossil fuels – especially in a state known for struggling with rolling blackouts. And it’s created a toxic waste problem.

Surprise – the Australian Great Barrier Reef has “Bounced Back” from Climate Change

The concern over the survival of the Great Barrier Reef is beyond absurd. Coral is one of the most resilient organisms on the planet.

While the adult form of coral is anchored in place, every year corals spawn uncountable billions of highly mobile larvae which colonise favourable sites. Any damaged reef is instantly colonised by adjacent reefs as soon as favourable conditions return.

How Nations Fail: Sri Lanka’s Affair with Green Ideology

Today, Sri Lanka is facing its worst crisis since its independence from the United Kingdom in 1948. Since October 20, 2021, fuel prices have risen by 259 per cent and amid power blackouts and shortages of everything from fuel to cooking oil to food, Sri Lankans have finally had enough. Mass unrest and violent clashes with the police are now common.

The country’s severe economic crisis is the direct responsibility of President Gotabaya Rajapaksa. Allegations of nepotism were rife after he installed his elder brother Mahinda as Prime Minister. Since March, protesters have taken to the streets demanding the resignation of the Rajapaksa-led government. In May, Mahinda resigned as prime minister. During a tumultuous weekend in July, thousands of anti-government protesters gathered in the capital city of Colombo, where they breached police barricades and occupied the ceremonial presidential palace. Meanwhile, the home of the current—and former six-time—prime minister, Ranil Wickremesinghe, was burned to the ground. Wickremesinghe has since been elected President, and Rajapaksa has fled to the Maldives. The 73-year-old’s departure marks the end of one of the most powerful political dynasties in South Asia.

US Capital Becomes Latest City To Ban Fossil Fuel Heating, Push Zero-Emissions Vehicles

The renewable energy bill mandates that by 2027, all new commercial buildings in D.C. generate “net-zero energy” as part of energy conservation and emission reduction efforts, according to the bill’s text. Fossil fuels used to power gas cooking stoves, space heating and water heating will be banned by the city in new business buildings and apartments four stories or taller.

Is Justin Trudeau The Biggest Single-Citizen Carbon Polluter In Canada?

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spent more time in the air in July, 2022 than he did during the entire summer of 2021.

“Data collected from online flight tracker websites show Justin Trudeau spent all but 11 days of July aboard Canforce One, flying a total of 26,238 km across 20 flights, all within Canada,” said the National Post.

Can it be? At the same time that our PM preaches the evils of climate change via carbon emissions, he is Canada’s biggest individual carbon polluter?

Canada’s weather personalities forced to get ‘comfortable with giving bad news’ amid worsening climate change

Warren Dean recalls feeling helpless as a deadly heat dome hovered over British Columbia last summer.

The CTV News weather anchor for Vancouver Island says he and his colleagues tried to hammer home the seriousness of the unprecedented extreme heat event to the public but there were still those who failed to heed the warnings they were issuing.

No mention of ‘Urban Heat Island’, eh?
