In response to a question of “which is a bigger threat, the climate or China?” Kirby said, “You’ve heard the secretary talk about the climate as a — a real and existential national security threat . . . And we considered China as the number one pacing challenge for the department. Both are equally important. Both are — are challenges that the secretary wants the senior leadership at the Pentagon to be focused on, as well as many others, too.”

You may have noticed that the Biden team has been completely lacking when it comes to doing anything to deal with gas prices. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm laughed her head off when asked about Americans having to deal with the rising prices, claiming there was nothing they could do, that it was up to OPEC.
Our planet is changing. So is our journalism. This story is part of a CBC News initiative entitled Our Changing Planet to show and explain the effects of climate change and what is being done about it.
Some communities are particularly affected by ecological grief, said Cunsolo, including Indigenous people, farmers and fishers. “People who are really connected closely to the environment for livelihoods and culture,” she said.
The Biden administration’s energy bait and switch is as devious as it is simple, and American families need to be on guard. It works like this: First, undermine America’s domestic and affordable energy supply, which then drives up prices all across the country. Step two is forcing a total reliance on solar and wind that somehow is magically “less” expensive.
The hype and mythologizing over electric vehicles (EVs) afflicts policy-making and leads to costly subsidies that produce little environmental benefits, according to Danish climate expert Bjorn Lomborg.
Helping vulnerable nations cope with the multiplier effect of climate change on droughts, flooding, heatwaves and tropical mega-storms will require trillions of dollars, not the billions now on the table at COP26, a draft UN report obtained by AFP reveals.
The failure of rich countries to make good on a promise to deliver $100 billion a year for vulnerable nations has become a flashpoint at the UN climate talks in Glasgow, entering their final hours on Friday.
But the real cost for allowing the atmosphere to continue to heat will be far higher.
Stephen Harper is criticizing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s climate-change policy for unfairly singling out “certain parts of the country,” as the Liberal government proceeds with a hard cap on oil-and-gas emissions that are expected to particularly affect provinces such as Alberta and Saskatchewan.
The first thing to note about Climate Derangement Syndrome, whether it’s coming from the posh road-blockers of Insulate Britain, Clarence House or the Church of England, is that it has nothing whatsoever to do with science. This eco-hysteria single-handedly shatters the myth that contemporary environmentalism is a science-driven movement, merely concerned with acting upon the warnings contained in graphs and models drawn up by climatologists. Show me the piece of scientific research that says a gang of boys will rape your mother if we don’t achieve Net Zero by 2030. Where’s the peer-reviewed study that pinpoints the moment when slaughter, rape and genocide will occur if our governments fail to cut back on fossil fuels?

What and how students learn about climate change and the environment from kindergarten through Grade 12 is inconsistent across provinces and territories, according to climate educators and students passionate about the topic. Too often, they say, it’s limited to science classes.
The CBC, with their new commitment to hard-hitting climate journalism, publishes an op-ed by a man who orders too much takeout and is therefore experiencing eco-anxiety because of all the plastic containers he has accumulated. While this particular CBC op-ed may be useless fluff, the concept of “climate anxiety” is worth delving into. True North fellow Lindsay Shepherd discusses what “climate anxiety” is and how the leftist-socialist-environmentalist class uses these types of concepts as cop-outs and excuses for their bad habits.

“We are in a climate crisis. We need to urgently reduce emissions in every sector of the economy, everywhere in the world. This, of course, applies to the energy sector as to all sectors of the economy,” Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson said during the announcement.
Canadian oil and gas producers are on track to expand production to 30 per cent above 2020 levels by 2030, leading to an anticipated 25 per cent increase in carbon emissions.
After announcing a cap on Canada’s oil and gas sector that will see net zero emissions by 2050, and pledging to ban coal exports by 2030, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Tuesday that countries will continue to push each other to be “even more ambitious” on their fight against climate change.
Over 100 countries are gathered in Scotland for COP26 and are using over-the-top doomsday alarmism over climate change. Their reckless fear-mongering is contributing to increased anxieties and unrealistic green policies.
Case in point – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced yesterday the Canadian government will be putting a cap on oil and gas emissions in Canada in order to reach its ambitious climate goals.
