The new poor will be anyone who can’t afford an electric car.
The New York Times reported that the Biden administration will abuse EPA regulations to eliminate most real car sales by 2030. The plan is to force 67% of car sales to be electric by 2032. Most Americans won’t be able to afford them, but they’ll have no other options.
Is the humble sheep really to blame for eco-armageddon?
I’m writing this to the soundtrack of cacophonous bleating. The fields around my house are slowly filling up with ewes and lambs. They do look cute, these speckled faces with their black noses, but they are here to be eaten. That is the purpose of farming, after all – to raise food for us all to eat. The turning-point in human civilisation was when we were able to raise our own food, as opposed to simply hoping that nature would be bountiful. We altered nature to our own purposes. I can’t think of a more valuable human endeavour than attempting to feed the population.
I have previously made the argument that environmentalism is a fundamentally conservative ideology.
The proper role of the state, if one exists at all, is to make a sincere attempt to remedy the multitude of ongoing, very real environmental catastrophes — like, for instance, the microplastics pandemic caused in part by the abundance of (mostly useless) COVID-19 surgical masks.
A simulation based on apocalyptic images designed to highlight “the disastrous effects of climate change” had the opposite impact on those who viewed it and failed to shift attitudes, a study from Singapore Management University details.
I am of an age to have witnessed the alleged threats of mass starvation, a new ice age and acid rain quashed by reality.
Climate change aka global warming is just the latest scam by the watermelon elite to plunder & enslave us.
US Government May Launch New Effort To Seize Private Property, Says JPMorgan CEO – Here’s Why
JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon says the US government may need to seize private property to fuel one of its most high-profile initiatives.
In a new annual letter to shareholders, Dimon says government agencies could evoke eminent domain and forcibly obtain private property to propel the push for clean energy.

This is the end of the American car industry.
The Biden administration is effectively moving to ban cars. And they’re not even hiding this. The spin here isn’t even that this is about “air quality”, but that it’s about forcing consumers to buy electric cars (which they can’t afford) in the wake of Ford losing $3 billion on worthless battery vehicles.
Instead of securing our water supply, the government plans to radically reduce home usage.
Body odour could soon be making a comeback. Why? Because the UK government is looking to impose stringent reductions on home water usage. The media have suggested that this might mean the end of power showers, but the limits being mooted in Whitehall will bear down on water use as a whole. This will affect showering, taking baths, hand washing, cleaning clothes, and more.
As Upton Sinclair famously said, “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.”
That has been on full display among the chattering classes in Ottawa of late among politicians, rent-seekers and special interest groups whose political and economic fortunes depend on the public believing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s carbon tax will do what he says it will do.
Every year, there is a green fad that claims it’s going to ‘save the world’ with some kind of renewable gimmick. In 2023, it’s the doomed money pit of green hydrogen – at the turn of the millennium, it was wave energy.
Established in 1997, Oceanlinx focused on ocean-based renewable energy harvesting, particularly its Wave Energy Converter (WEC). In 1999, the federal government, under Howard, gave the company a grant of $750,000 to pursue WEC technology before a second grant of $1.21 million was issued for research and development.
Well that went awfully wrong.
I drove from Toronto to Montreal in an EV and faced a mutiny halfway
“Can we go?” she said. “What are we waiting for?”
“We’re charging,” my wife told her.
Those few lines defined our 550-kilometre drive to Montreal, which took – I’m embarrassed to admit this – nearly eight hours. Yes, one way.
Double the advertised “fast charging” times, cold weather battery inefficiency & use of winter tires are the reasons given.
CITY food supplies cannot survive without reliable refrigeration at every level, from farms to retail stores. But green propagandists continue to inflict lethal damage on our electricity industry – it has become dangerously unreliable and dreadfully expensive.
This will produce unreliable and expensive food supplies.
A new superclass of eco-globalists is making life miserable for the rest of us.
Jacinda Ardern has been sworn into the highest political caste. She takes her place alongside the likes of John Kerry and Mark Carney as a member of the globe-trotting eco-elite. She’s been admitted to that inner circle of eco-globalists who spend their days wringing their hands over the climate apocalypse and wagging their fingers at the polluting throng.
Forget solar, wind, hydro, and wave power. The capacity to burn coal for electricity generation rose in 2022 despite global promises to phase out the fuel with a defiant China leading the way, a report Wednesday set out.
‘Most households will see a net loss, paying more in the federal fuel charge and GST,’ the PBO says
… Guelph MP Lloyd Longfield wrote an open letter to Giroux on Wednesday asking him to take a broader perspective, arguing the PBO wasn’t factoring in the cost of climate inaction.
“In light of the overwhelming body of evidence, including your own analysis, that climate change is bringing huge costs to bear on Canadians, I would ask that you launch a new study that integrates both sides of the climate ledger into your assessment,” Longfield wrote.
Make 2+2=5!
How can Canada contribute the most to the fight against climate change? Not by nickel and diming our own population
“A real piece of work.” That’s how Ontario Premier Doug Ford described federal environment minister Steven Guilbault after the latter lambasted him for having “no plan to fight climate change.” The riff came about after Ford criticized the latest hike in the federal carbon tax, from 50$ to 65$ per ton effective April 1, which raised the price of gas by three cents a litre.
