Unfortunately, a new poll shows that the majority of Americans believe to some extent the unscientific climate doom propaganda that has been consistently wrong for half a century. The good news: most Americans still oppose ditching fossil fuels and gas cars altogether.
John Kerry “believes in showing up and doing everything he can”
The great green hoax is about a massive shift away from the industrial revolution and back toward feudalism under the guise of claiming that the world will end unless all that technology, the cheap goods and the middle-class lifestyle that comes with it aren’t reined in by powerful supervisory authorities.
Tracking ‘carbon emissions’ is a key element in this plan. Assign every activity and every individual a carbon footprint,.measure how much ‘carbon’ they emit by going to the store or breathing, and then regulate it.
Last week, I was in Toronto and was surprised – no, shocked – to find plastic bags and spoons.
Gasp! Single-use plastics? How vulgar!
Why doesn’t Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ever criticize U.S. President Joe Biden for failing to impose a national carbon tax on Americans?
Aren’t we constantly being told putting a price on greenhouse gas emissions is the best way to combat climate change?
Northvolt Is Near Deal With Canada on $5.3 Billion Battery Plant
Swedish manufacturer Northvolt AB is close to a deal to build an electric-vehicle battery plant near Montreal, a project that’s expected to be worth about C$7 billion ($5.3 billion), according to people familiar with the matter.
The Canadian and Quebec governments are preparing to give financial aid to Northvolt that may be worth billions, following a similar agreement with Volkswagen AG to build an EV battery plant in Ontario, the people said. An announcement is likely to be made in the coming weeks, though negotiators are still working on final details, they said, speaking on condition they not be identified because the matter is private.
Bill would undermine free markets, the energy sector and the Canadian economy
Sir John A. Macdonald called the Senate “a place of sober second thought,” which may have reflected his appreciation for at least occasional sobriety. But Bill S-243, the “Climate-Aligned Finance Act,” is the antithesis of thoughtful reconsideration. Its declared purpose is to regulate investment practices so as to reduce the risks both that financial institutions pose to the climate and that climate change poses to financial institutions. In fact, it would undermine free markets, with potentially debilitating consequences for financial institutions, the energy sector and the Canadian economy in general.
German car maker to pause work at major factory and lay off 300 staff
Volkswagen is to cut electric car production at one of its biggest factories after “strong customer reluctance” led to far lower sales than expected.
The business is pausing work on electric models for six weeks at its plant in Emden, northwest Germany, and will lay off 300 of the 1,500 workers involved in making them.
The company blamed lower subsidies for buyers of the cars across Europe and higher inflation for a drop in consumer interest.
So VW is doing a Stellantis and halting construction of a manufacturing plant and laying off staff because they can’t sell EV’s without consumers being offered significant bribes of their own money.
Bribe people to buy a second rate product. That sounds like the sort of genius level business model Justin would buy into.
EV’s are the Wunderwaffe of the Green-Scam.
VW says EV Market has TANKED.

That’s because the regulations apply to refineries and other producers and importers of fuel, and it’s up to them to determine how to comply and how much of any additional costs will get passed along to consumers. All of it will be passed on to the consumer you lying pigs.
KAMLOOPS, B.C.—Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre derides it as Justin Trudeau’s “Carbon Tax 2,” and now federal officials are trying to tamp down concerns the government’s new clean fuel regulations will make life more expensive for struggling Canadians.
It’s the latest example of the pitched political battle over climate action and affordability, as the new regulations to slash planet-warming pollution are also expected to increase the cost of gasoline.
On the day that the Liberal government released its climate change adaptation strategy, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre was on an axe-the-carbon-tax tour of Atlantic Canada, seizing a golden political opportunity.
The four Atlantic Canadian premiers have joined together to ask Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to delay a July hike in carbon prices, because they worry about a consumer backlash. This week, Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston published an op-ed insisting it will make life unaffordable.

While it’s obvious that humankind can destroy its local environments (and has been doing that for millennia), it is equally obvious that the Earth’s climate trends are unaffected by humankind’s limited industrial abilities. I just caught up with two videos from May that show just how ridiculous the climate scam is…and how it’s being used to enrich our most powerful geopolitical opponent to our great detriment
A U.S. battery maker backed by the Biden administration relies on technology from a Chinese Communist Party-led company, according to a Daily Caller News Foundation review of Chinese media reports.
The Department of Energy (DOE) awarded KORE Power, a U.S.-based battery firm, an $850 million loan in early June to construct its “KOREPlex” battery-cell production facility in Arizona. DOE billed the loan as part of the administration’s efforts to “onshore [electric vehicle] supply chains.” However, KOREPlex will rely on technology from the firm’s long-time Chinese manufacturing partner, Do-Flouride New Materials (DFD), DOE Loan Programs Office (LPO) Director Jigar Shah said in an interview Wednesday.
Mamma Mia!
Historic Big Apple pizza joints could be forced to dish out mounds of dough under a proposed city edict targeting pollutant-spewing coal-and-wood-fired ovens, The Post has learned.
The New York City Department of Environmental Protection has drafted new rules that would order eateries using the decades-old baking method to slice carbon emissions by up to 75%.
Canada has for years forked over billions of dollars in subsidies to oil and gas companies — an approach that critics say flies in the face of the country’s climate goals, and impinges on efforts to turn toward renewable energy sources.
Now, the federal government is preparing to release a new policy that will put an end to “inefficient fossil fuel subsidies,” a commitment Canada made more than a decade ago.
A spokesperson for Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault said the new policy will be released in July.
Because wind and sun are so reliable and need no subsidy.
The recent fog that settled briefly on many northeastern cities from Ottawa to Philadelphia as a result of unusually extensive forest fires in Quebec and northern Ontario led to the predictable conscription of this freakish event as further evidence of the need to assault the oil and gas industry and ratchet up the cost of living of practically everyone. This is part of the self-assigned Canadian mission of saving the planet from the capitalists. There is never much of a respite from outbursts of delusional absurdities of the climate extremists. I’m not a climate denier but I am a resolute and vociferous opponent of hare-brained, self-punitive, instant cures for problems whose causes, proportions, and possible solutions are not fully known to us.
Sweden has just dealt a severe blow to the globalist climate agenda by scraping its green energy targets.
In a statement announcing the new policy in the Swedish Parliament, Finance Minister Elisabeth Svantesson warned that the Scandinavian nation needs “a stable energy system.”
Svantesson asserted that wind and solar power are too “unstable” to meet the nation’s energy requirements.
Sweden is becoming a normal country, unlike Crazy Canada.
