Green-Scam

Greta Thunberg: COP27 an opportunity for “greenwashing, lying and cheating”

LONDON, Oct 30 (Reuters) – Climate activist Greta Thunberg on Sunday called out next month’s United Nations climate summit in Egypt for being “held in a tourist paradise in a country that violates many basic human rights.”

Speaking at the London Literature Festival at the Southbank Centre where she was promoting her new book, “The Climate Book”, 19-year-old Thunberg dismissed the looming climate summit, known as COP27, as an opportunity for “people in power… to [use] greenwashing, lying and cheating.”

That sums up the green-scam in general.

Three — count ’em, three — new reports from the United Nations claim that the planet is in dire, imminent danger because the nations of the world are not adequately mobilizing against climate change. According to the reports, countries are neither creating sufficient plans to reduce warming nor acting on them quickly enough, even as global greenhouse gas emissions are on the rise, thus putting the planet on track to experience nearly 3 degrees Celsius of warming within less than 80 years.

“I just read an article where two Canadian car owners were in need of new batteries for their electric vehicles. One was fully electric, the other was a hybrid. The full EV required $23,000 worth of battery replacements after only four years. The hybrid owner required $20,000 for his battery replacements. The EV owner had no choice: Either replace the batteries or stop driving the vehicle. The hybrid owner on the other hand was able to decline the battery replacements and simply motor along using the gasoline portion of his vehicle making his hybrid simply a gas powered unit.”

Dumping milk onto floors. Hurling food onto walls. Refusing to eat. Gluing body parts. Throwing paint. Refusing to leave. Threatening to pee and poop in your pants. Screaming accusations. Are those the behaviors of a toddler’s temper tantrum? Yes. But they’re also the dominant tactics of today’s climate activists.

Consider the case of Gianluca Grimalda. On October 19, Grimalda, along with 15 other members of a climate activist group called Scientist Rebellion, glued himself to the floor of the visitors center next to a Volkswagon factory in Germany. The VW security guards brought pizza to Grimalda and the other activist scientists, but Grimalda felt disrespected and so he declared a hunger strike in retaliation.

IS global warming really happening? Don’t bother to think – your answer no longer matters. Experts have decided, and the media now shriek ‘climate emergency!’ every time it rains a bit harder.

Earlier this year it rained much harder and in Pakistan there was disastrous flooding. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif says scientists have determined that the deluge was due to climate breakdown.

He claims it is ‘the responsibility of the developed countries, who caused these emissions, to stand by us’ and he will be seeking ‘climate justice’ from the international community.

A wind farm is being dismantled in western Germany to make way for an expansion of an open-pit lignite coal mine in a “paradoxical” situation highlighting the current prioritization of energy security over clean energy in Europe’s biggest economy.

The dismantling of at least one wind turbine at the wind farm close to the German coal mine Garzweiler, operated by energy giant RWE, has already started. RWE says that lignite, or brown coal, has been mined from the Garzweiler coalfields for over 100 years.

In mid-September, the government of the Canadian province of Nova Scotia announced a blockbuster, 5bn-watt “green” hydrogen plant.

The plant was meant to deliver 200,000 tonnes of ammonia to Europe each year, without the use of fossil fuels.

Heading into November there is no prospect green power will be available by the time the EverWind Fuels facility begins operations, the Energy Mix and Halifax Examiner have learned in a joint investigation in partnership with the Guardian.

In fact, the project touted for its potential to convert wind-generated electricity into a badly-needed green product will be powered partly by coal, at least in its first years of operation.

A study by leftists shows it’s useless.

Anew report exposes much of recycling as an empty ritual geared more at cleansing consciences than the planet.

The publisher of the study? Greenpeace.

“The plastics and products industries have been promoting plastic recycling as the solution to plastic waste since the early 1990s,” the report explains. “Some 30 years later, the vast majority of U.S. plastic waste is still not recyclable. The U.S. plastic recycling rate was estimated to have declined to about 5–6% in 2021, down from a high of 9.5% in 2014 and 8.7% in 2018, when the U.S. exported millions of tons of plastic waste to China and counted it as recycled even though much of it was burned or dumped.”
