A Climate Of Fear
So what ARE they on about?

It is fairly obvious to anyone who has done a bit of scratching around in the “climate change/global warming” quagmire that the entire narradigm is built on deliberately false assumptions, conclusions and methodologies. What is truly concerning in all this mess is the intentional obfuscation of what is really occurring, and what the ruling narradigm is being used to accomplish.
We can dispense with the ruling narradigm rather easily. There is no global warming. Global temperatures have been steady or even declinng a bit over the past 25 years. If we compare globally averaged maps (the ones fed to the public as fear p*rn), as compared to the point readngs of actual temperatures, what we find is that overnight temperatures are running slightly above historic levels, while daytime temperatures show significant areas of cooling trends.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is not a “greenhouse gas,” and at current levels of 435ppm, is so far below toxic levels as to be ignorable. The one key area of concern with CO2 is that current levels are near the starvation point for plant life, where CO2 is a key component of photosynthesis.
“Global warming” is a farce, as is the entire laughable “anthropogenic” argument. The same people who think reducing bovine flatulence can have any effect whatsoever on global climate also believe that humanity has had any appreciable effect, positive or negative. The truth is that the factors creatng and affecting Earth’s climate are so incomprehensibly huge as to make all of human activity since we arrived on the scene shrink to insignicance.
None of this is to say that sh*tting in our nest is healthy, attractive or desireable, but its effect on the global climate is negligable. The real climate issues are far larger than the Earth and well out of reach of humanity’s ability to comprehend, much less mitigate.
The unspoken part about climate change is that it is occurring throughout the Solar System, including the Sun itself. The only planet where current data is not avaiable is Mercury, which should be remedied by BepiColombo in 2025. In fact, significant changes are being observed on every other planet in our system — and yes, Pluto is a planet despite all the scientidiot antics at the IAU.
Venus’ winds have increased 33%. Mars’ magnetism, weather and tectonics have sprung to life. Venus, Mars and Earth are undergoing rotational rate changes. Jupiter’s radio emissions, jet stream and bands are undergoing significant changes. Saturn’s Great Storm has intensified a full 10 years early. Uranus and Neptune are showing surges in storm activity and aurorae, and long-suffereing Pluto’s atmosphere has frozen out far sooner and to greater extent than was predicted. All of this is dwarved by reduced solar irradience and the Sun’s magnetosphere.
To complicate matters, there are notable changes occurring in the Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation (AMO) and Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) patterns, and the Beaufort Gyre could release its payload of ice water at any moment. Both of these are and will continue to drive a rapid global cooling effect, which combined with the Sun’s changes, could lead to a new ice age.
We won’t even go into Earth’s inner core not rotating and the magnetic field weaking and going walk-about. Both items would take a lot of column inches to examine. We should note, though that Allstate and Progressive insurance companies reported large catastrophe losses for spring of 2023 and 2024, both of which were marked by solar eclipses and strong solar activity, and the losses were primarily attributed to weater events.
The point of this exercise is that I found all the above information in the public domain on “authoritative” websites in about 30 minutes using an uncensored search engine. What that means to us peons is that at some level, presumably above our pay grades, they are well aware that CO2 and internal combustion engines are NOT the cause of climate change, and that nothing humans are or can do will have any effect on the situation.
I exempt politicians and “policy makers,” because on the ladder of brute mindless beasts, they form the bottom rung.
So why all the hysteria? Why the decades of pounding “climate crisis” into schoolchildren’s minds? Why the ridiculous circus of EVs and demonizing petroleum? Why the hare-brained schemes to block sunlight and scare people out of their wits?
There is only one reason that makes sense of all of it.
The world, and primarily the Western world, is being looted. I say the Western world, because that’s where most of the hysteria is focused, and that is who is footing the bills for all the insanity. Most other countries are paying lip service to “climate change” efforts, while standing with their hands out for Net Zero grants and subsidies. As a secondary effort, there is a war on humanity to reduce our numbers through “health care” and food crises, so when the real climate change comes, we are down to “manageable” numbers.
It’s very difficult to get a straight answer on how much has already been looted from the West in the name of “climate change,” but the Global Landscape of Climate Finance 2021 report by CPI estimated that cumulative climate finance flows from 2011 to 2020 amounted to approximately $4.9 trillion. The International Energy Agency (IEA) reported that in 2022 alone, clean energy investment was set to reach $1.4 trillion, with significant portions allocated to renewable energy sources, electric vehicles, and energy efficiency improvements. The IEA further estimates that another $4 trillion will be needed to “stay on course” for Net Zero by 2030.
Remember how you reacted when Alexandria Occluded-Cortex introduced her “Green New Deal” and you looked at the price tag? We’re already there!
What’s worse is that the world will have to mine more copper than has ever been mined in all of human history to meet 2030 targets! And that doesn’t include rare earths, precious metals and the petroleum needed to dig and refine them. Do I dare mention how many new power plants need to be built every minute to supply all the juice just for “clean” energy, not to mention the lastest power vacuum called AI.
For some reason, there is a drop-dead date to get all this done by 2050, with a major milestone (in their minds) at 2030. The motivation for setting these dates and targets is vague and generally mumbled through hats. If you ask 100 people why these dates and targets are important, you’ll get 100 different answers. The truth is, none of us peons know, nor are we meant to. Our sole purpose is to earn, consume, pay taxes, get injections. That’s it. That’s the value of a human life in this bizarre meat grinder.
So where are these vast sums of money going? Very good question.
There’s no transparent accounting for any of this money. It gets Hoovered out of our pockets and sent to mysterious companies and NGOs to do God knows what with it. We get a pat on the back for a job well done, and then terrorized into doing more. It reminds me of the street urchin gangs that line the O’Connell Street bridge in Dublin — while you’re talking to one of them, three more are emptying your pockets.
I suspect that the crowd that really knows what’s going in the Solar System is fashioning themselves a luxury ark to ride out whatever is coming, and we aren’t invited. They probably know from ancient records that we aren’t privvy to what happened 12,000 years ago, when humanity went through this the last time. They are likely building vast underground cities with all the amenities to protect their worthless hides, and the rest of us be damned.
After all, who will run the world after the storm passes? Not us, certainly.
It seems to me that it is well past time to have a little Come To Jesus with the power elite and their lab-coated priests. We need to cut them off from the bar until we get a full and honest reckoning of the situation, and since that will never happen, we can use our funds to do as we see fit with our hard-earned money. This situation has gotten way out of hand on the flimsiest of premises and the word opaque figures heavily into the situation.
I say they can stuff their EVs and wind turbines where the solar irradience doesn’t shine. We need to march en masse to the great archives of the world and fling open the doors and get a good whiff of the mildewing parchments. We all deserve equal access to the occult knowledge of the ages, so that we can all decide for ourselves what we intend to do with the information. And we all need to know where those vast underground arks are, so we can start enjoying the fruits of our labor today!
Will it happen? Don’t make me choke on my ham sammich.

The epic bulls##t of catastrophic climate change
06/21/2024
I am on RFKJr’s campaign mailing list, probably through Children’s Health Defence and they asked me for money, and I said sure, just as soon as he fixes the catastrophe he caused in the province where I live.
Got a message back!
It read, “Elizabeth, I am sure Robert would fix whatever harm he caused, can you explain?”
No problem, I said.
1. In British Columbia, we had the largest industrial forest in the world
2. It paid for education and universal ‘free’ health care.
3. The environmental left decided to shut it down.
4. The reason for their protest was that the government, as was common practice, had sold cutting permits with long leaseholds. A new socialist government announced it was pulling the permits and taking those forests back.
5. In order not to lose all the invested money, which they had not only paid for upfront and in annual leasing charges, but paid taxes on, some for decades, lessees immediately clear cut their lands. Clear cuts are ugly. (but they are fire breaks)
6. That triggered the protest.
7. RFK Jr came in under RiverKeepers and supercharged the protest. His celebrity and glamour made the protest major international news. I was in London, I heard about it. More kids joined the protest. And then more and more. Until the government caved. Would it have happened without his presence? I do not think so. He gave very young people who had no access to power, nor any hope of it, ever, a very heady hit of significance and their lives took on huge huge meaning. For many it remains the high point of their lives. Because for the province, it was all downhill from there. All promise vanished and a grinding slow growth followed.
8. Over the ensuing ten years, cutting was diminished and heavy regulation covered the rest. By 2002, written regulations piled on top of each other stood seven feet high, taller than a man.
9. Forested communities died.
10. 100,000 families lost their livelihood.
11. Resource jobs have huge multipliers, not only forested towns died, so did regional metropolitan centers. Greens, replete with success, hit other resource industries – mining, ranching – which died. More families bankrupted.
12. They were told to go into tourism.
13. Which pays minimum wage and can only support a family if everyone, even the children, work. And, it’s seasonal.
14. Over time, the unmanaged forests became clogged with overgrowth, little trees like carrots pulled all the water from the forest floor, desiccated the soil and then pulled water from aquifers. The forests became tinder. And increasingly every summer, they explode in fire.
15. The government needed money.
16. Casinos provided it.
17. Asian cartels – you cannot imagine how violent they are – moved in and used the casinos to launder most of the drug money from North America. They bribed immigration, they bribed city government, they threatened anyone who tried to stand in their way.
18. They were so successful, human trafficking and child sex trafficking shot up. We have the second largest port on the west coast of North and South America. Through it streams container loads of drugs and trafficked children and women. At the port, you just stand aside, if you want to live. You think most of the fentanyl comes in through Mexico? Nope. It comes in through us.
19. The cartels do pay taxes. You think Black Rock is bad? These guys kill if they don’t get what they want. They are buying every business they can, to launder money through. The cartels also launder money through real estate in the city. That means housing is insanely expensive and property taxes are sky high. Canadians can’t afford to buy houses or live in the ones they own. A family making a median income has to pay 100% of income to buy a median priced house.
20. Crime is a) a driver of the economy and b) a principal source of government revenue.
21. Green has destroyed the province.
And that, I am afraid, is what celebrities do. It is why they are so hated, and one of the reasons Hollywood is dying. They destroy the lives of ordinary men and women, and then move on to greater heights. Their lives are so privileged, they have absolutely no idea how people make money. And RFKJr, mind-numbingly privileged from birth, is the same. When asked about climate change, he says it’s happening but taxes won’t work. “Regenerative agriculture” he says, vaguely. It is true, regenerative agriculture could capture a lot of carbon, the amount debatable but it has promise. But cutting regulation? He has no, zero, absolutely no idea of how regulation punishes the non-elites. His is a black hole of ignorance and that is common; a majority have zero idea. Zero.
I admire the heck out of his work on vaccines. I admire his work on cleaning rivers and destroying polluters on the east coast. I admire his courage to take up the leadership baton. I admire the many sensible things he says. But then, I remind myself of sitting in a packed auditorium in San Francisco while he shrieked at the crowd for 45 minutes, starting it with parading his glamour coming in on a private plane with his kids, while the hoi polloi in the audience were thrilled at proximity to power, wealth, history and glamor. Then, he sent every resource worker and business straight to hell, and jailed climate skeptics.
Behind me, a guy said to his friend, “Have you seen this performance before?” His friend said “no.”
“You’ve never seen anything like it. You have to sit five rows back when he speaks, otherwise you will get covered in spittle.”
He scares me. That level of passion scares me. The hate for normals he showed scares me. And it is throughout our cultural leadership. This is from the New Yorker in 2019, by the very much-admired literary lion, Jonathan Franzen, who is read by every book group in the world. It is catastrophic nonsense.
“The climate apocalypse is coming. If you’re younger than sixty, you have a good chance of witnessing the radical destabilization of life on earth—massive crop failures, apocalyptic fires, imploding economies, epic flooding, hundreds of millions of refugees fleeing regions made uninhabitable by extreme heat or permanent drought. If you’re under thirty, you’re all but guaranteed to witness it.”
To be fair, when RFKjr took up vaccines, he left a good gig. The enviro movement pays very very well. And he stuck it out when everyone in the centers of power where he used to walk, turned against him. Again, I admire him. But he had money. He didn’t risk everything. The populists fighting now are risking everything.
Think I’m kidding about cartels owning America? What do you think happened in Arizona during the 2020 and 2022 elections? Those elections and that governor were managed by the cartels. She still is. On the west coast, the CCP, in a symbiotic relationship with the most violent cartels on earth, are infiltrating every government and agency.
In Dubai this past week, at Cop 28, they devised a slave system for the world.
Such are the fruits of the modern environmental movement. Wherever they go, they destroy. In Dubai this past week, at Cop 28, they devised a slave system for the world. After their globalist system is in place, the only people who will make money will be the cartels. It’ll take a couple of decades, but our world will be a slave state run by criminals, just like my gorgeous province that both sets of paternal great grandparents settled in the 1880’s when there were 4,000 people in Vancouver. They built the water systems, clear cut the neighborhoods, built churches, founded schools and the hospital and made a welcoming city replete with one hundred years of peace and prosperity. Now, fathers are knifed in front of their children outside of Starbucks, and people lie on streets dying from fentanyl and native women are so desperate they prostitute themselves to serial killers, organ harvesters and slavers. All that goodness extinguished under violence and greed and, above all, the willful ignorance of the comfortable. Many, many cities are experiencing the same and under COP28 it will get worse.
The cartels will pay for everything: science, health care, education, pensions and they will take a piece of each and determine what is allowed to happen. They will own energy, they will own health, they will own education.
Because our entire culture will have fallen. No one will make money beyond their pittance allowance, that makes it possible to buy cheap consumer goods from their slave factories in Asia and Africa. There will be no independent businesses, there will be no “local” economies. We will be an enslaved earth.
No doubt, the CEOs of multinationals who are engineering this transformation think ‘I’m so smart that I can continue to do business, make money and be virtuous enough to be invited to Steven Spielberg’s summer parties in the Hamptons!’
No, you idiot. You will be replaced by a cartel member who is willing to kill every member of your family until you resign. Or you will be owned by said cartel member. But hey, the cartels are diverse! They come from every race (though mostly Mexican and Asian here). And, like sensible people, they use Wasps like W. or quasi-Wasps like RFKjr, as their unwitting face and administrators. And they have the best lawyers.
In the crudest analysis, that’s what happened in Russia after the fall of communism: cartels took over and now Russian cartels terrorize Europe and the eastern seaboard. In China, same thing. Read retired diplomat Ian Hamilton’s series of novels. The face of the Middle Kingdom may be Mr. Pooh Bear, but its reality is indescribable levels of violence, coercion and theft. No one is free in China, they are all under the boot heel, not of communism but of the cartels.
This is the product of communism and the left. By selling self-hate, faux compassion and the endless fulsome attack on the only free country the world has ever seen, they are destroying us.
This week, Netflix released Leave the World Behind, the first of the fictional films from the Obamas’ studio to a chorus of accusations of predictive programming from the populist right. The more sober pointed out the racism inherent in the film, the immediate hatred the black girl feels for the white family she is forced to live with. “Promise me Daddy, when the SHTF, you won’t trust whitey.’ (I paraphrase)
But here’s the money shot of the film, its raison d’etre, its deepest layer, its hate for humanity, black and white. When Julia Roberts, who plays a terrifying hatchet-faced woman, is asked by the angry black girl:
“Why are you like this? Why are you so angry all the time?”
Roberts replied
“All day, every day, I sell things to people they don’t really need. My whole job is to understand people well enough to learn how to lie to them so I can sell them things they don’t really want. And when you study people like that you see who they really are, how they really treat each other….we fu*k each other over all the time without even realising it, we fu*k every living thing on this planet over and think it will be fine because we use paper straws and order free range chicken.
“And the sick thing is, I know deep down we know we’re not fooling anyone. I think we know we’re living a lie, an agreed upon mass delusion to help us ignore and keep ignoring, how awful we really are.”
I’ve spent enough time on the cultural left, the hard left and the communist left, up and down the status scale, to know this is what they think of humanity. They hate us, and a lot. This is a bog-common human trait, which Christianity, when it was the flower of the culture, made sure to battle every Sunday in church. Even if it hurts, you are supposed to love your neighbor. It is still true in the real, not-left world. My lived experience, and I suspect yours, is that in all the nine places I’ve lived, six of which were without family; I have been bolstered by the kindness of strangers, the help of acquaintances and the love of new friends who had no skin in the game, who cared because they were good.
Nonetheless, a massive cohort of the culture, the emotionally-oriented and idealistic young, has been taught to hate. And the principal reason given is that we don’t care about the earth, that it is boiling, that we are losing species in the Sixth Great Extinction, and that no one is willing to give up anything to save the planet or anyone on it.
This is a lie. But a lie which informs all the idiots at Cop 28. They all think like Roberts’ character. That we are stupid and venal and are willfully destroying the earth.
And that gives them permission to lie. They are doing it for the earth. Also the money.
I have spent the last two decades studying and writing about the environmental movement. I wrote dozens, if not hundreds of columns, I wrote a book. I did a green subdivision, I built a green house at the LEED Platinum level, geothermal heating. I covenanted in perpetuity my creeks and ravines in order to preserve habitat for two blue-listed species. I have studied and gone to meetings where I am hated, and listened to the reasoning. I have been stalked, harassed, threatened, stripped of friendships, slandered in the local papers repeatedly, disinvited, and fired. Every time, I read deeper. Am I wrong? Am I wrong? I look for my errors.
Not one person I know, and I live in a green prison camp, reads deeply about climate change. Reading into it is brutal work and you need training in logic, math and reason. But, for every complex analysis of the “science” behind climate change and biodiversity collapse, you will gain one point on your IQ. You will be smarter.
This week I started Judith Curry’s Climate Uncertainty and Risk, Rethinking Our Response. Curry is the former chair of the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Georgia Tech, and a member of the National Research Council’s Climate Research Committee. She has published over a hundred scientific papers and co-edited major works. She has testified in Congress several times.
She started out a fulsome supporter of Climate Change and has moderated her thinking slowly over twenty years. This is what she thinks:
“The IPCC Assessment Reports do not support the concept of imminent global catastrophe associated with global warming.”
Curry points out that the Climate Nazis are ignoring their own baseline conclusions. And Curry claims, they are tuning the models to produce coherence with past and present temperature records. Therefore, they are tuning future models too. Which is dishonest.
Her latest book is a masterwork of analysis and it is a very challenging read. I am a committed experienced reader and in three days I managed one-third of the book. Each chapter is divided into four or five shorter aspects, and is followed by over one hundred citations per chapter.
Curry sets out her baseline, the ground from which she builds her argument:
“100 years ago, the global population was 2 billion. Over the past century, the population has increased to 8 billion, life expectancy has more than doubled, a much smaller percent of the global population is living in poverty, global wealth has increased by a factor of 20, agricultural productivity and yields have increased substantially, and a far smaller fraction of the population die from extreme weather and climate events. Hannah Ritchie’s ourworldindata.org provides fascinating data on global progress.
And all this has occurred during a period where the global temperatures have increased by about 1oC. The UN has dropped the extreme emissions scenarios (RCP8.5 and SSP5-8.5) from use in policy making, and the UNFCCC COP27 worked from an estimated 2100 warming of 2.5ºC.[1] The 2023 IEA Roadmap to NetZero Stated Policies Scenario (STEPS) projects a rise in average global temperature of 2.4ºC by 2100.[2] When plausible scenarios of natural climate variability and values of climate sensitivity on the lower end of the IPCC range are accounted for, the expected warming could be significantly lower
She takes every aspect of an extremely complex subject where there are mostly unknown unknowns, and tries to parse it for sound and unsound. She accepts that since 1850, the end of the Little Ice Age, the planet has warmed 1 degree C, and might warm as much as 2 degrees C by 2100, but maybe not even that. That is not what the U.N. is saying. Not Mr. Global Boiling. Not COP28. They have chosen the top range of the UN IPCC reports. The catastrophic range. The range which the IPCC authors themselves say has a 5 percent probability. And this is key: they think we won’t notice.
That is not what the U.N. is saying. Not Mr. Global Boiling. Not COP28. They have chosen the top range of the UN IPCC reports. The catastrophic range. The range which the IPCC authors themselves say has a 5 percent probability. And this is key: they think we won’t notice.
As you may or may not know, with each report, the IPCC sets out a series of possible scenarios, depending on a set of impacts, cloud cover, ocean current, amount of CO2, regional impacts like heat islands, and estimates the future rise in temperature. The authors then give it a probability rating.
But, by 2018, the liklihood of RCP8.5 was not even 5%, but 0%, since carbon emissions were dropping.
That Changed with Biden’s Election. The Catastrophic Scenario RCP8.5 Became Law. And No One Noticed.
Under Biden, the most extreme of the IPCC’s predictions, the off-the-charts estimate that had a maybe 5% chance of occurring, became gospel. Became Global Boiling. Became civilizational death. Become the new method of doing business. It is now factored into everything, into insurance policies, development planning, construction, transportation, everything.
COP28 codifies RCP8.5 into law. Temperatures are expected to rise five degrees centigrade by 2100.
No one was paying attention to this “detail”. On the left it’s all hysteria all the time, sell fear sell fear sell fear, no one is doing enough. The right is evil. Trump is evil. Oil is evil. On the right, they say, it’s bullsh*t, no one is buying it, fifty-two percent don’t “believe” in climate change anymore. The right doesn’t generally bother to dig deeper. CFACT and Climate Depot and Watts Up With That aggregate the fight masterfully, but nothing moves the needle. Nothing breaks the impasse.
They. Are. Lying. Blatantly. Every policy decision made by every government at COP28 is based on an egregious blatant lie.
Meanwhile:
“It doesn’t matter if fifty-two percent think climate change isn’t dangerous,” says Senator Chris Coons. “This is unstoppable. Even if Trump is elected, this will go forward.’
The Inflation Reduction Act, passed this fall, dictated that all industries conform and tens, if not hundreds of billions are slated to be poured into industry-crippling climate regulations, based on a lie. All individual enterprise will be harnessed and burdened by this lie: building, food, insurance, engineering charges, clothing, energy, schooling, travel, it will all be re-engineered to adapt to a scenario, which the IPCC scientists themselves believe is only 5% likely.
If Trump wins, to create prosperity, to bring us out of the dank hole the not-elite experience, this all has to be unpicked.
Do you see the future yet? Here, I’ll help. As an example, where I live is 100% run by global warming fanatics. If you try to open up housing, get people out of tents and trucks, even 35 new affordable units, all the fanatics turn up and whine and submit thousands of papers of terrible research. No one else shows up. No one.
Our economy is pretty much 75% subsidized by government debt, grants and pensions. Our average age is 70. Our house prices average at $1,000,000. People live in their cars, while 95% of our land is left fallow, unused, the forests and fields largely untended. Our cultural and civic life is contentious and divided. Most people have hived off and leave the fanatics to themselves. Or, they pander. There is no innovation, there is no excitement, there is very little happiness. That is the future warmists want.
OK, here’s the point of all this:
“Anyone, including me, who has built their understanding on what level of warming is likely this century on that RCP8.5 scenario should probably revise that understanding in a less alarmist direction.” (David Wallace-Wells, author of The Uninhabitable Earth)
Curry: “The extreme emissions scenario RCP8.5 has commonly been referred to as the “business as usual” (BAU) scenario.¹? Referring to RCP8.5 as BAU implies that it is probable in the absence of stringent climate mitigation. Positioning the extreme RCP8.5 scenario as the only clearly defined baseline has made this scenario central to assessments of climate change impacts. RCP8.5 paints a dystopian future that is fossil-fuel intensive and excludes any climate mitigation policies. RCP8.5 drives climate model projections of nearly 5°C of warming by the end of the century, relative to pre-industrial temperatures. Via RCP8.5, this outlook of the future was subsequently adopted for thousands of academic studies that project future climate impacts on people and the environment, to evaluate the costs and benefits of adaptation and mitigation policies, and to estimate the cost effectiveness of policies designed to meet mitigation.
How dare they do this? How dare they?
The 8.5 scenarios can only emerge under a very narrow range of circ*mstances, comprising a severe course change from recent energy use. Both the RCP8.5 and the SSP5–8.5 scenarios have drawn criticism owing to the assumptions around future coal use, requiring up to 6.5 times more coal use in 2100 than today—an amount larger than some estimates of economically-recoverable coal reserves. A recent elicitation of energy experts gives SSP5–8.5 only a 5 percent chance of occurring among all of the possible no-policy baseline scenarios; the likelihood of SSP5–8.5 becomes much lower when recent and future commitments for policy actions are considered.²? The IEA analysis (Table 7.1) indicates that the worst-case scenarios, RCP8.5/SSP5–8.5, are off the table for the next several decades, and will stay there unless we actively choose to follow them. In many ways, the world has moved beyond the no-policy baseline scenarios through a combination of technological innovation, falling costs of clean energy sources and climate policies already enacted. These changes are unlikely to be reversed, even in the absence of new policies and technologies. It is difficult to overstate the importance of the shift in expectations for future emissions that is represented by the difference in the new IEA scenarios versus RCP8.5.
COP28 is a lie and they know it. They are lying to us. Hundreds of thousands of scientists, policy makers and activists, politicians like John Kerry are blatantly lying to us. They will destroy western civilization in order to prosecute this lie. And they will do it without guilt, while revelling in hate and luxury.
If not stopped, Greens will become the most brutal oppressors and genocidal maniacs in human history.

Climate change is a $100 trillion wealth transfer from the poor to the rich
06/27/2024
Grateful to those who subscribed last week, especially those who tossed me some cash. I am charging the lowest rate allowed, $30 annually, monthly lowest is $5. Once a week, I plan to write something about our rapidly evolving culture, and once a week, I plan to deconstruct the malignancy of the environmental movement, which I believe is the primary driver of an impending economic catastrophe everyone sentient dreads. No one else is doing this work, in part because everyone who does is shut down. Here, at Substack, I think I am obscure enough to be able to drill down without someone auditing me, firing me, cancelling me or pulling a contract. I have deep connections among those fighting this fight, and my work will be well informed. As before, I have stellar training and have written for almost every great publisher in the US, UK and Canada.
(Article republished from ElizabethNickson.Substack.com)
If you fund me, I can do more.
Predator or Prey?
Ever asked yourself why six million have poured through the Southern border in the last 8 months? Oh, I know, in search of economic freedom, oppression by their home governments, or oligarchs, drugs, death squads, crime etc. Same with Africa. But again, why do they risk so much to leave homelands that almost certainly, most of them love. The idea of ‘place’ is not an idea, it is a deep attachment, physical, emotional and sensate that trumps reason. You have to kill a lot of your natural self to leave, to risk your life and that of your children to escape to the cold grey north and never return. The fear alone would overwhelm all but the strongest.
They are leaving because they must.
But why now? It’s been bad forever. In South and Central America, between the descendants of the Conquistadors and the Commies, everyone has been ground beneath the heel of the oppressor for 20 generations. Because activist charities pay for these long trains of migrants? Because the left in Europe and Democrats have declared the border open?
No. Well yes, and no, those latter are just the mechanisms. And they have been deliberately constructed.
Mostly they are coming because Black Rock1, the UN, the WEF are grabbing their lands, the more fertile the better, driving them from those lands and sticking them into tenement cities where they have to scratch like chickens for a living. Agenda 2030 is ravening under the radar in the US and Canada, where “civil society” in the pay of the government and environmental NGOs funded by oligarchs, is taking as much land and as many resources as possible out of the productive economy and shoving it into the land banks of BlackRock.
In the south, it’s not surreptitious. It is state policy to destroy their lives, to take their ancestral lands, whether it’s 40 acres or a half acre and leave them begging by the side of the road.
The Benefits of World Hunger
This piece was removed from the UN website within a day
Climate Change is a complex financial mechanism which under the guise of “saving the planet”, is meant to save the predator class.
Which is not only morally bankrupt, but is dealing with a level of government and corporate debt that they know they cannot sustain. In the healthiest economy in the world, the US, all profits now are coming from either some mechanism of government subsidy – the $6 Trillion of the Covid catastrophe – or Collateralized Default Obligations2. For instance right now Penguin is in court attempting to buy Random House. Why? Because they can borrow money to do that, buy back some of their stock and pay their shareholders. It will mean middle managers will lose their jobs, and marginal books will not be published, but the ravening maw of Jamie Diamond and Larry Fink will be satiated. For the moment. There is no other reason. Growth, real growth has stalled in every single enterprise.
This is how it works at the top of the class pyramid:
Last week on my island we were treated to the spectacle of well-heeled, highly educated, well-spoken older men and women arguing that the impoverished elderly, the young, and families starting out should not have housing because of climate change. Our island is 74 square miles with 10,000 residents. That means we have one resident per five acres.
Our government, the trust, had proposed the use of accessory buildings, brought up to code, for long-term rentals.
The extreme form of land conservation we practice has meant that housing prices have skyrocketed, so only the rich and the well-pensioned can afford to live here. A thousand or so working age people manage to make a living, generally via remote work. We have no staff for the schools, hospitals, businesses, restaurants. They cannot afford to live here.
About 200 people on our islands, mostly in their 70s and 80s, tightly aligned with the hysterical wing of the environmental movement work the process to stop any growth. Every new resident who pulls a permit is visited and threatened by a by-law officer. The woman who instigated this specific weapon, a former enviro bureaucrat from LA, demanded full time by-law officers for years until she won, after which she fought for aggressive enforcement.
With this one act, she set islanders against each other, creating conflict where there was none. This too is deliberate. A community divided is easily controlled.
Ring any bells?
At the same time, in our vast swaths of upland forests, the UN organization Transitions is slowly accreting that land. For who? We don’t really know. Transitions is everywhere, in the US, in Canada, in every country in Europe. It is where you live. It is one of the many prongs of Agenda 2030. Everywhere, it invades local governments and acts to suppress economic activity.
Transitions also trades carbon credits. For who? Who do you think?
Therefore Transitions, which has a rainbow-colored smiley PR face, is in that business. Buying land to transfer it to international organizations and mega-rich families so they can make money on our forests. But not us. We can’t. We can’t even thin them to prevent catastrophic forest fire.
Those contracts must be interesting, not that anyone can see them. The first thing they do is act as whacking big first-time tax deductions. The second thing they do is act as an annual tax deduction because those trees are eating CO2. Very clever. International interests buy our land (and yours) and use it to not pay taxes. While banking some of the most valuable assets on the planet.
Multiply this 100,000 times, and you will see just a very tiny piece of the vast tapestry, the puzzle, of the Climate Change/Agenda 2030 plan that will shut down economic activity everywhere.
Imagine these people embedded in every single industry. Because they are. Canada has enough oil and gas to supply the world for the next five hundred years. We have all the rare earth minerals required by electric cars and every green invention. We, the most highly educated work-force in the world, have developed hundreds of mitigations that prevent knock-on effects for the mining we do. Mining is the most productive engine of the economy. Its job multiplier is 7, and all seven jobs are high-paying jobs. Mining means rural counties and townships can thrive, pay for their schools, their healthcare.
Every farm, every ranch, every rural business, every logging operation, every developer, every contractor and builder, every grocery chain, every surprisingly successful business has an activist cadre assigned to it. All that activist does is strategize on how to destroy that business. And they are paid, through environmental organizations funded by BlackRock.
Tucker Carlson ran a piece Monday night about an Amish cattle farmer, the most successful in his region, super-green, who doesn’t use fertilizer or even gas, who was visited and shut down by an armed gang of government thugs.
This is how they operate. Find the most successful in any sector or sub-sector, attack and destroy. No one must accrete enough financial or community-based power to fight back.
They are going to reap the whirlwind.
