Nov 23, 2024 ~ John Stossel, 'Destructive Environmentalists' "People eagerly give money to rich environmental groups. The Natural Resources Defense Council has $463 million in assets. What it really does is pay lawyers to torture people who try to do useful things." They oppose almost all mines in the US making getting permits take almost 30 years. Most companies won't even bother anymore, opting instead for mines in Africa which exploit people and children with little oversight. "But the green movement has been perfectly happy outsourcing mining to disadvantaged countries where thousands of children in bare feet, working by hand with shovels, dig minerals out of the earth." "You start applying for permits," says Mills, "You're going to be waiting not months, not years, but decades!" [Environment, John Stossel, Regulations]
Oct 18, 2024 ~ 'What Happens When a Tornado Goes Walkabout in a Solar Farm?' Hurricane Milton destroyed the huge Duke Energy solar farm in FL. Another reason why we can't rely on solar. These things are totally exposed unlike real power plants. 180,000 toxic panels destroyed and strewn all over the landscape. [Climate Change, Energy, Environment]
Sep 7, 2024 ~ 'A Dam Good Argument' Environmentalists claim they want us to transition to 'renewable' energy but then they destroy dams, like Snake River Dam providing the best kind: hydropower. They claim its killing salmon but that problem was solved 50 years ago. "Between 96% and 98% of the salmon successfully pass each dam." Why are they lying? [Climate Change, Environment, Fake News, John Stossel]
Jul 8, 2024 ~ After being blamed on 'climate change' (as ALL storms today ridiculously are), hurricane Beryl hit Texas as a mere CAT 1. @RyanMaue explains that hurricanes are beneficial and necessary to the entire US (not just coastal states), recharging aquifers and even the Great Lakes. [Climate Change, Environment, Fake News]
Jun 14, 2024 ~ 'You Paid Hundreds of Millions for Solar Power to Wreck the Environment' "Your tax dollars will subsidize a solar company cutting down thousands of protected and rare [centuries old] Joshua trees and destroying habitat for the endangered desert tortoise to make way for a massive energy project in California."   "According to the National Park Service, Joshua trees are a key part of the desert ecosystem, 'providing habitat for numerous birds, mammals, insects, and lizards,' and are on average 150 years old, although many are much older than that."   "Solar power also creates about 300 times more toxic waste per unit of electricity generated than nuclear-power plants do, because solar panels use extremely hazardous materials like sulfuric acid and toxic phosphine gas in their manufacturing." They can also take decades to make up for the CO2 used to create and transport them and its not clear they last that long.   "After 50 years and hundreds of billions of dollars in subsidies, loads of regulatory advantages, and political support, solar power generated under 4 percent of America’s electricity in 2023." [Climate Change, Environment]
Jun 9, 2024 ~ "Fact-Checking Wind and Solar Claims: Climate Expert Makes Case for ‘Realism’" When it comes to energy, "nuclear is probably the future and should have been the present," climatologist David Legates says.   "Wind, solar, and electric vehicles aren’t the clean energy accomplishments that many claim, climatologist David Legates says.   'The lithium … all of the rare earth minerals that are necessary for the batteries, that are necessary for the solar panels, that are necessary for the wind turbines … are called rare earths,' Legates explains.   These rare earth minerals are acquired through strip mining, he says, a process that involves putting large chunks of earth into a solution. Once the minerals are extracted, what is left is a toxic sludge lake.'"   "We’re all told it’s clean and green because you see it’s spinning there or you see the panel sitting there, it’s not producing gases. But to get to that stage, there has been an awful lot of disastrous and environmental and social efforts that have gone on behind the scenes."   "If carbon dioxide goes up, will temperature follow? And the answer is yes, slightly.   However, most of the absorption bands that we have with carbon dioxide are already saturated. So what that means is that, essentially, if you had no carbon dioxide or no greenhouse gases in the atmosphere at all, the addition of some makes a big deal. But as you start to add more and more and more, you get less of an impact. And so by the time we are where we are now, more carbon dioxide really doesn’t do a whole lot.   And so if we doubled carbon dioxide now, we get maybe a degree Celsius of warming and that would be it. And certainly it’s not worth the economic impacts that people want it to have." [Climate Change, Environment]
Jun 9, 2024 ~ "The Quest for a ‘Clean Economy’ Collides with Reality" "A typical Tesla Model 3 battery, which contains six kilograms of lithium, eight kilograms of cobalt, eight kilograms of aluminum, 17 kilograms of copper, 42 kilograms of nickel, and 55 kilograms of graphite. All of these materials come from somewhere, and that somewhere is underground — often, far beneath the surface. As a rule, underground mines make for very uncongenial neighbors. Their sites are dirty and dusty, loud, crowded with vehicular traffic, liable to pollute aquifers and generate toxic waste, and demanding of enormous quantities of water. Underground extraction can also conflict with deeply rooted cultural, historical, and social norms and practices." [Climate Change, Economics, Environment]
Jun 6, 2024 ~ "California ‘clean energy’ company set to bulldoze more than 3,500 Joshua trees, so coastal homes can go ‘carbon neutral’" The insanity continues. So called 'clean energy' is often very bad for the environment. [California, Climate Change, Environment]
Mar 16, 2024 ~ 'Over 100 Pizzerias Could Shut Down Due to NYC‘s Green Rule' The Democrats just can't stop ruining everything! NYC Pizza is legendary and they are destroying for NO benefit.

Jan 14, 2024 ~ Biden admin doles out $600 million to activist groups, universities for 'environmental justice' The US is drowning in debt but Biden doles billions to left wing orgs. "The $600 million announced on Wednesday is part of a larger $3 billion spending blitz in support of 'environmental justice' made possible by provisions in the IRA." Pure vote buying. [CRT DIE Wokeness, Debt, Deficit, Environment]
Nov 9, 2023 ~ Olivia Murray, "Harvard study: deforestation for solar panels major cause of ‘emissions’" "Since 2010, over 5,000 acres of natural and working lands have been destroyed for solar development in Massachusetts, resulting in the emission of over half a million metric tons of CO₂ - more than the annual emissions of 100,000 passenger cars." "When these panels reach the end of their lifespan, they become piles of toxic waste, as they contain high amounts of heavy metals." "By 2050, the disposal of worn-out solar panels will constitute over double the tonnage of all of today’s global plastic waste." [Climate Change, Environment]
Nov 4, 2023 ~ Brianna Lyman, "It Takes Trucker Two Minutes To Pick Apart The EV Narrative: ‘You Would Need To Pack 50,000 Pounds Of Batteries’" Fantastic article exposing the absurdity of the net-zero idea. The numbers do not even remotely add up. [Climate Change, Economics, Environment]
Oct 1, 2023 ~ Joe Biden’s IRA committed more than $100 million to promote ‘tree equity’ and over $1 billion to expand 'access to trees.' A lot of the places receiving the money have more than average trees but happen to be blue cities. We are beyond broke but the DIE virus takes precedent. [CRT DIE Wokeness, Environment, Fake Racism]
Aug 27, 2023 ~ More information on the Maui fire ridiculously blamed on 'climate change.' They ignored significant fire risks that built up over the years to focus on green energy. They let highly flammable non-native grass take over. They kept the power on when sparking powerlines were falling in high winds. Now we learn, "Officials closed Lahaina Bypass Road due to the fires, blocking the only way out of Lahaina to the southern part of the island." [Climate Change, Environment]
Aug 26, 2023 ~ 'Nolte: Study Shows Paper Straws More Harmful to Planet than Plastic' In a facepalm similar to when they figured out plastic bags were better for the environment than paper or cloth, they now realize plastic straws are better than supposed 'green' options. [Environment]
Apr 21, 2023 ~ Ben Zeisloft, "Biden Signs Executive Order To Make Entire Government Focus On ‘Environmental Justice’" The EO "makes clear that the pursuit of environmental justice is a duty of all executive branch agencies and should be incorporated into their missions” and directed the agencies to “consider measures” which address “adverse environmental and health impacts on communities, including the cumulative impacts of pollution and other burdens like climate change.” Because (of course), “Racism is a fundamental driver of environmental injustice.” Buttigieg also blames 'climate change' for transportation problems. "Our transportation systems are still grappling with the consequences of the pandemic, climate change, and decades of disinvestment." 'Systemic racism' and 'climate change': Two of the Democrat's biggest false narratives. [Climate Change, Environment, Fake Racism]
Jan 18, 2023 ~ Rich Lowry, "No, You Can’t Believe ‘the Science’" "The debate over gas stoves illustrates perfectly the faux scientific method."

[Climate Change, Environment, Loathsome Left, Violent Left]
Jul 17, 2022 ~ Clarice Feldman, "Sri Lanka learned a sad lesson - mandated “organic farming” proved a horrible disaster.

Millions of cases of malaria and dengue. [Anti-Science, Environment, Health, Regulations]
Jul 16, 2022 ~ Texas power grid is again on the brink because it relied too much on "green" energy even though it has plenty of oil and gas.

Aug 26, 2021 ~ Grace Cook, 'The Cotton Tote Crisis' Lots of cities banned single use plastic bags in favor of reusable cotton bags but it turns out cotton bags are way worse for the environment. "An organic cotton tote needs to be used 20,000 times to offset its overall impact of production." [Environment]
Aug 9, 2021 ~ Environmentalist Bjorn Lomborg shows that govt. forcing us to electric cars is useless. "Even if all nations achieved all of their ambitious EV targets, emissions will be reduced by about 0.1%... Temperatures will be reduced by 0.002°C by 2100." And they will not achieve targets. [Climate Change, Environment]
Aug 1, 2021 ~ Dell can't ship their servers to CA and other moronic states run by Democrats. The poor idiots that still live there get this message when they try to order.

Jun 26, 2021 ~ Biden’s Bureau of Land Management nominee, Tracy Stone-Manning, is an ecoterrorist involved in the spiking of trees, the goal of which is to kill or injure loggers. She also has called children “environmental hazards.” "The earth can’t afford Americans" says Biden's nominee. [Environment, Violent Left]
Jun 11, 2021 ~ TC Energy has canceled the Keystone XL Pipeline for good now that Biden blocked it. That pipeline would have helped jobs, the environment, energy independence and energy prices and would not have increased climate change. Biden is undoing all of the good Trump did in record time. [Climate Change, Energy, Environment]
Jun 1, 2021 ~ Rep. Rashida Tlaib berates bank CEOs, accusing them of complicity in "environmental racism."

Feb 18, 2021 ~ WSJ, Between “2/8 and 2/16, wind power plunged 93% while coal in­creased 47% and gas 450%, ac­cord­ing to the EIA. Yet the re­new­able in­dus­try and its me­dia mouth­pieces are tar­ring gas, coal and nu­clear be­cause they didn’t op­er­ate at 100%.” If all renewable, we'd have 0 [Climate Change, Energy, Environment]
Feb 18, 2021 ~ The Texas winter storm that left millions without power exposes the flaws of moving to 100% 'renewable' energy. This would have been a week long event with 0 power for anyone.

[Climate Change, Environment]
Feb 4, 2021 ~ Environmentalist Bjorn Lomborg admits the Paris Climate Accord would only lower global temperatures by 0.05°F by 2100.
