Dutch commentator Eva Vlaardingerbroek said on Tuesday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow that left-wing globalist interests use what they they say is the threat of “climate change” as a pretext to “freeze” and “starve” people.
That’s the exact behavior Trudeau is Aping.
Trudeau says Russian invasion of Ukraine ‘accelerated’ Canada’s move away from oil and gas
With the Ukraine war having helped to drive Canadian fuel prices to historic highs, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Tuesday that the conflict was helping to “accelerate” this country’s shift to renewable energy.
While Trudeau acknowledged that the Russian invasion had caused global demand to surge for Canadian sources of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and crude oil, he predicted that the net effect would be a faster phase-out of the Canadian oil and gas sector.
Hey Junior do you want to end support for Ukraine?
Because that’s how you end support for Ukraine.
Canada’s annual rate of inflation cooled to 6.9 per cent per cent in September, according to Statistics Canada.
The agency said the drop in the headline figure was largely thanks to lower gas prices.
But prices on food purchased from the grocery store continued to soar, rising 11.4 per cent to a new 41-year high.
Climate activists and politicians constantly tell us electric cars are cleaner, cheaper, and better. California and many countries, including the U.K., Germany, and Japan, will even prohibit the sale of new gas and diesel cars within a decade or two. But if electric cars are really so good, why do we need to ban the alternatives? And why do we need to subsidize electric cars to the tune of $30 billion per year?
The reality is far more muddled than the boosters of electric cars would have you believe.
The Climate Cultists know electric cars are a dead end. But they’ll exploit them to line their pockets until you realize far too late that they don’t want you permitted to drive anything at all.
OPEC kicked the United States, the West, and the world’s poorest nations in the teeth recently with oil production cuts that will raise prices to help finance Russia’s war against Ukraine and Europe. And what has Canada done to help allay this situation, given that it is a country with one of the biggest oil and gas reserves on the planet?
The Canadian government’s baby steps toward addressing the climate crisis are “embarrassing,” famed environmentalist David Suzuki said Monday while expanding on the profanity-laden criticism he launched during a federal announcement last week.
“We are the only one of the G7 nations that hasn’t reduced our greenhouse gas emissions below 1990 levels,” Suzuki told CTV News Channel’s Power Play.
Down Under blunder: David Suzuki unmasked as a know-nothing huckster on Australian TV
‘Green’ jobs are the first to go when times get tough, because they don’t produce enough energy or value.
Left-wing politicians promise that millions of good “green jobs” are right around the corner, but companies keep announcing layoffs in that extremely unproductive sector.
Just last week, General Electric announced it was laying off 20 percent of its entire U.S.-based onshore wind-power workforce, with hundreds of employees getting pink slips. “We are taking steps to streamline and size our onshore wind business for market realities to position us for future success. These are difficult decisions, which do not reflect on our employees’ dedication and hard work but are needed to ensure the business can compete and improve profitability over time,” a spokesperson for GE Renewable Energy told CNBC.
Most Canadians who pay for natural gas or electricity can expect their bills to rise by between 50 and 100 per cent on average this winter, according to one energy analyst.
Some consumers could see their bills rise by as much as 300 per cent while others could see minimal increases, but the overall trend is clear, says EnergyRates.ca founder Joel MacDonald.
Most of what will drive up the cost of home energy this winter is the rising price of natural gas, which generates 8.5 per cent of Canada’s electricity.
You might remember that famous scene from the 1967 movie The Graduate. Dustin Hoffman’s anxious adult-in-waiting Benjamin Braddock is trapped at a dull graduation party when family friend Mr. McGuire leans in to offer some advice. “I just want to say one word. Just one word. Are you listening?” When Benji assures him that he is, Mr. McGuire responds, “Plastics.” Waiting a beat, he adds, “There’s a great future in plastics.”
OTTAWA — The Trudeau government has been criticized for not paying attention to the shifting shadow of tyranny, far less responding to it.
Chrystia Freeland was consequently dispatched to a think-tank event in Washington on Tuesday to offer the most holistic take yet on the government’s new worldview.
We are told to change lifestyles to reduce carbon emissions. Yet, this will only contribute 10 per cent to meeting climate change targets
Will our lifestyles need to change radically to meet our net zero target? Must we abandon cars; give up flying; become vegetarians; turn our thermostats down; shun fast fashion and disposable goods? And could we persuade or compel people to adopt more frugal lifestyles? These are the crucial questions a Lords select committee set out to address in a report released today. The answer the committee discovered was surprising. So surprising that it decided to omit it from its report. Yes, you read that correctly.
The report deliberately omits the real answer to the question: “How much must lifestyle changes contribute to Net Zero?” – even though that was what our call for evidence asked for. What was the answer? And why did the Lords committee vote to omit it?
… Politico argues that the war in Ukraine has been great for the environment because it “forced Europe to finally break its fossil fuel addiction” and helped speed up the continent’s “green revolution.” By launching his brutal invasion and manipulating energy markets to keep oil prices high, Putin has “achieved something generations of green campaigners could not.”
And that is Justin Trudeau’s belief as well.
Transcript courtesy reader Dana Garcia
LAURA INGRAHAM: Our next guest was once a climate alarmist but now says the entire movement is quote a scam: Tom Harris is executive director of the International Climate Science Coalition; he joins me now. Tom, good to see you tonight. Now you actually say the only way to get rid of this is to go after the science of climate change — explain.
TOM HARRIS: Yeah exactly, a lot of people will say well you know, Canada for example puts out so little greenhouse gas emissions that we shouldn’t uh we shouldn’t actually try to reduce it because China has doubled the United States. Well the trouble is people argue that well yes we have to set an example to the world, and we have to be good citizens and all that sort of thing. So they’re using these arguments quite often that China’s doubled the emissions of the U.S. etc, but but the real underlying thing is that there is no climate crisis. you know I was originally an aerospace engineer and I would give speeches and I wrote articles I wrote one in the Ottawa Citizen about comparative planetology how studying the planets helps us understand the Earth better, and I use the example of the runaway greenhouse effect on Venus. I said this could happen on the earth if we don’t reduce carbon dioxide. Well a local professor at Carlton University, professor of geology, he liked my article so much he used it in his course on climate change, but he said to the students but that part about Venus is wrong — what happened on Venus cannot physically happen on the earth and he explained why. Now I thought who is this climate change denier. Well he invited me into his lab and he showed me the geologic history that he and others are finding, and they found no consistent correlation between carbon dioxide and Earth’s temperature. At times CO2 was 1300 percent of today and we were stuck in very cold conditions. So it was all over the board, so I started wondering well maybe he’s right. He exposed me to a lot of people who actually showed me that there are thousands of scientists and here’s a book actually that illustrates that it’s called Climate Change Reconsidered and this is on http://climatechangereconsidered.org/.
There are thousands of references here which talk about the fact that there is no foundation to the climate scare — it’s all based on models that don’t work.
LAURA INGRAHAM: But Tom when you hear you know politicos especially but not just the politicos celebrities, it’s it’s settled, science is settled. Is science ever settled really? I mean except over a time where you really you know what what is H2O, we know what H2O is right, we understand that because this science settled — really quickly…
TOM HARRIS: No in fact it’s a very immature science. In fact we don’t even know whether it’s going to warm or cool in the future. Various people who study the Sun for example Dr Patterson, they show that we’re headed into a grand solar minimum around 2060 and that we’ll see gradual cooling over the next few decades. So the bottom line is we have no clue what’s going to really happen. So the only sensible approach is to get ready for it to make our infrastructure hardened, to use solid dependable sources of energy like coal — this is a piece of coal from eastern Kentucky. And not to turn off our solid reliable energy sources for flimsy wind and solar power. You know you’d laugh, it’s appropriate that I’m based here in Ottawa because right now here in Ottawa, Canada, they’re running a municipal election and it is the most corrupt election I have ever seen they are trying their best to bring in a climate alarmist as mayor. So guess who they put in charge of the four debates they’ve had — climate activists. They have climate activists running the mayor’s debate.
LAURA INGRAHAM: Professor it doesn’t yeah it doesn’t surprise me that this is happening in Canada it’s happening in the United States, and we need real facts to discern what the real truth is here. Professor thank you for this invaluable work that you’re doing.
Environmental activists are calling on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to endorse a dangerous and misguided “fossil fuel non-proliferation treaty” ahead of the COP27 climate summit in Egypt.
They want Trudeau to tell Canadians and the world that ongoing use of Canada’s oil and gas is an imminent threat to human society as bad as the atomic bomb.
I’m sure Junior the Genius thinks it’s a swell idea and it’ll be signed as soon as no one is looking but in the meantime he has Freedo yapping about “energy security” and “friend-shoring” in an uncertain world… it reads like re-election campaign sewage. I would not trust a word uttered by anyone connected to this corrupt Liberal party.
World will likely continue facing a ‘tyrannical Russia’, Freeland warns
Canada’s deputy prime minister urged the world’s democracies Tuesday to confront the hard economic truths of a perilous new world order and seek common cause in the shared values of prosperity, energy security, protecting the planet and free and fair trade.
Chrystia Freeland delivered an eloquent obituary for the relative peace and stability of the 33 years between the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and Russia’s “barbaric violation” of Ukrainian sovereignty in late February of this year.
If you want to understand how governments can fuel the rise of new technologies, look no further than the taxi fleets of Beijing.
Five years ago, the city revealed plans to ban the introduction of fossil fuel-powered taxis. Today, thousands of the cars run on batteries instead. And the drivers of these electric vehicles (EVs) don’t have to worry about wasting time at charging stations, either.
Many electric taxis in Beijing, and dozens of other Chinese cities, just go to a battery-swapping station where a machine plucks out the depleted battery and installs a charged one in mere minutes.
