Green-Scam

The forecast for climate change in Canada for 2022 is higher carbon taxes for Canadians and little progress in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, which is what carbon taxes are supposed to do.

Grocery prices to keep soaring in 2022

Canadian grocery bills have been growing steadily throughout the past year, and experts say that won’t change in 2022. In fact, a typical family could be stuck spending nearly $1,000 more just to put food on the table.

“The average family of four, we’re expecting the food bill to go up by as much as $966,” said Dr. Sylvain Charlebois, Sr. Director of the Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University.

“It’s going to be tight for a lot of families, unfortunately.”

Patrick Moore’s new book argues that these prophecies of doom come from the same old thing — human self-interest.

If there are intelligent young people in your family who parrot the received wisdom about climate change but whose minds are not yet set in progressive stone, Patrick Moore’s Fake Invisible Catastrophes and Threats of Doom is the book to give them. To be sure, there are a number of excellent books debunking the claims of an imminent climate Armageddon: to name just a few, Rupert Darwall’s The Age of Global Warming, Steve Goreham’s The Mad, Mad, Mad World of Climatism, Marc Morano’s The Politically Incorrect Guide to Climate Change, and S. Fred Singer’s Hot Talk, Cold Science.

Despite the wealth of resources, there are a number of reasons why Moore’s book is especially powerful and persuasive.

In 2021, the regressive misanthropy of green politics became crystal clear.

I mainly feel sorry for those who still labour under the delusion that environmentalism is a radical worldview. Those who believe that warning of End Times as a consequence of ruthless capitalist excess is a socialist position. Those who think that wringing one’s hands over the grotesque ‘footprint’ marauding humankind has left on this allegedly once-pristine planet is a good way to indict the globalist elites.

A new year is almost upon us and, according to the left, so is the “climate change crisis.” Put those together and that means California bureaucrats are set to impose a new fresh hell of tyrannical regulations on their citizens. Beginning January 1, 2022, under Senate Bill 1383 and the penalty of stiff fines in most cases, all Californians will be required to separate their excess food waste into bins to be collected by local recycling services.

Electric vehicles (EV) continue to represent a greater share of new car purchases, but their cost, range and charge rate may hinder many consumers from making the transition.

While EV’s have grown in popularity over the last decade, gas-powered vehicles still account for the vast majority of cars on the road and new car sales, according to Pew Research survey published in June. In addition, a 2020 AAA poll determined that nearly 80% of households with an EV also own a traditional vehicle, suggesting that just a sliver of Americans are making a complete transition.

The Environmental Protection Agency announced Monday that all new cars that aren’t electric must average 55 miles per gallon by 2026.

This amounts to a Great Leap Forward of almost 20 miles per gallon from the currently ordered 36 miles per gallon that all new cars must achieve, else their manufacturers be punished for making them via “gas guzzler” fines applied to them.

Which are then passed on to the people who buy them. Which makes it progressively more difficult to afford them.

By recklessly rushing into unreliable renewable energy to replace fossil fuels, the U.K. and Europe are now in the midst of an energy crisis heading into winter, where electricity prices to consumers are skyrocketing and factories are reducing production or shutting down.

OTTAWA — It’s the end of days for plastic grocery bags and Styrofoam takeout containers in Canada.

Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault published draft regulations Tuesday outlining how Canada will ban the manufacture, sale and import of these items, along with plastic cutlery, stir sticks, straws and six-pack rings, by the end of next year.

The Glasgow COP26 meeting, and the global energy crisis should have been a wakeup call for the climate debate. Regrettably, that did not happen. As Walter Russell Mead wrote in the Wall Street Journal “The intellectual and political disarray on display in Glasgow was terrifying” as leaders committed their countries to “carefully crafted, unenforceable pledges.” Proof yet again that global gatherings of “preaching to the choir” climate activists are not the place for balanced discussion or practical solutions.

Late architect and futurist R. Buckminster Fuller said, “pollution is nothing but the resources we are not harvesting. We allow them to disperse because we’ve been ignorant of their value.”

A  new report  released by the Canadian think tank SecondStreet.org shows that items ranging from diamonds to soap are being created using captured carbon dioxide and methane – rather than letting the gases float into the atmosphere.

If the COVID-19 pandemic has taught us anything, it is the utter impracticability of meeting the United Nations targets on reducing global greenhouse gas emissions to address climate change.

The UN says that as a first step in avoiding catastrophic global warming of more than 1.5C by the end of this century, global emissions have to drop every year from 2020 to 2030 by 7.6%.
