On Climate, Follow the Money

A week ago, Bill Gates released a long memo on climate that got a great deal of attention. He said more or less what critics like Bjorn Lomborg have been saying for a long time: sure, increased levels of carbon dioxide will tend to increase global temperatures to some extent. But the increase will be modest and will not have catastrophic consequences. Rather than impoverish the world in a futile attempt to control the weather, we should focus on human well-being, which relies more than anything else on affordable energy. You might think that such a moderate, sensible approach would meet with nothing but praise. But no: climate alarmists went crazy,

FTA: " . . . sure, increased levels of carbon dioxide will tend to increase global temperatures to some extent. But the increase will be modest" NONSENSE! There is not a shred of statistical proof that carbon dioxide causes gullible warming - - not a thing. It's discouraging and disgusting that even some intelligent conservatives have swallowed the Fool-Aid. There is NO man-made gullible warming. Don't give the evil leftists even an inch on this scam!

When Musk formed DOGE with Trump, he was 'non-personed. Now Gates should expect the same thing. Will there be computer burnings a la Tesla?

According to my HS Social Studies class, we were supposed to have frozen to death by now. Trust the science. The science is settled. Silence, whippersnapper. Do not question the great Oz.

Well, well, well. So it turns out it was never about "follow the science" but only about "follow the money." Great article, but most Ldotters have known this for decades. Once again, thank you Donald J. Trump for turning off the US taxpayers' money spigot to these climate grifters. Are we tired of winning yet? No, No and Hell no!!!

China's economy exploded with the Globull Warming scare. They are the world's solar panel producer by far while they build coal and gas fired electrical generation plants. Only fools believe they will shut down those investments in 5 years as promised. Meanwhile Australia is energy starved due to green policies while they ship their coal to China and India. Germany tore down gas and coal and nuclear plants and destroyed forests to build windfarms which they are now tearing down to build coal, gas plants. Many more examples but where are the main stream Media reports? They lie through omission

The “thing” ( insert performance drama issue) is always about the money and the resulting power. It is sad that so many people fall for performative drama.

Excellent essay. Tens of thousands of people stealing 4500K to $1 million per year as "salaries" in the Climate Scam Industry. No way are they going to ever admit what Gates finally figured out, decades later than he should have. I've always understood that the Climate Scam is about money and power and has nothing to do with actual science or climate, only money and power.

The server farms that are going be needed to further AI and other advanced concepts could not possibly be powered by wind and solar (which, I predict, is going away before long ... unaffordable, and horrible for the earth). No, the massive amounts of electricity needed could only be generated by traditional sources, which are nuclear, natural gas, coal, hydroelectric dams. The future Gates wants to happen won't be powered by boutique energy. He knows that. If I had green stocks in my portfolio, I'd be buying puts, selling calls, getting prepared to unload. Short is the way to go on green. Not necessarily today, but before long. Reality has a nasty way of presenting itself, especially to those who resist it.

If you think Bill Gates has changed his philosophy about the one-world government, boy, do I have some ocean-front property for you! No, their end-goal is still the same: gain the power to kill off "unnecessary eaters" and enslave the rest. But the method of getting there has changed. Globull warming/cooling was too slow, and more people were beginning to realize it's a fraud. Now they've come up with a much better plan. My guess is it has to do with AI and digital currency.

The climate alarmists will never give up. We traveled across Michigan last week and as we talked with other "leaf-peepers" we all agreed that we hadn't seen colors so vivid and brilliant in several years. Yet yesterday the left leaning Michgan Daily reported that "Michigan's Muted Fall Foliage May Be a Symptom of Climate Change".

Good article, good comments! When -a few days ago- I read that Gates was abandoning the Climate Scam, it too me about three minutes to figure out that he has figured out that his path to POWER, which used to be via the Climate Scam, has a new, and much faster, more direct path via AI. AI needs computer power, which means the huge Data Centers, which in turn need a TON of electricity. The Climate Scam's purpose is political control via restricting and controlling energy. It is an impediment to the much faster AI path to Power, so it has to be disassembled, much to the 'wailing and gnashing of teeth' of the Climate Grifters. By the way, the article mentions that many of these groups are fueled by Dark Money. I wonder how much of that comes from the ChiComs. The Method has changed, but the Goal -Political Power- remains the same.

The terror attacks of Sept. 11 forever changed New York City and the United States of America. It’s hard to believe that 24 years after the attack, New York City may elect a Ugandan-born Islamist mayor who openly campaigned with an “unindicted co-conspirator” in the first World Trade Center terrorist attack. As a veteran of the war in Afghanistan, I feel compelled to share my firsthand experience with radical Islam and warn America that Zohran Mamdani’s candidacy is a risk to America’s future. Federal prosecutors considered Imam Siraj Wahhaj an unindicted co-conspirator of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing that killed six people. Several of the terrorists involved

"Chief Judge Boasberg has compromised the impartiality of the judiciary and created a constitutional crisis. He is shamelessly weaponizing his power against his political opponents, including Republican members of Congress who are faithfully serving the American people within their jurisdiction," Gill told Fox News Digital. “Judge Boasberg was an accomplice in the egregious Arctic Frost scandal where he equipped the Biden DOJ to spy on Republican senators.

At some point in the last few days, Portuguese Judicial Police (PJ), along with the Portuguese Navy, "intercepted a semi-submersible vessel in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean." I know what you're thinking. It was probably just a submarine filled with poor, humble fishermen trying to earn a living in international waters, right? Maybe narco-fishermen. It was actually filled with 1.7 metric tons of cocaine and four men on board who reportedly have ties to a criminal organization. Authorities say it was headed for the Iberian Peninsula with plans to distribute the drugs throughout various countries in Europe. The four men will be questioned in court, according to

Maybe now they’ll listen. For roughly the past twenty-five years, I’ve been warning conservatives to not get careless when practicing journalism. Yes, it was fine to discover charismatic stars like Candace Owens and Ben Shapiro, but if the right wanted to build a competitor to the corrupt mainstream media there had to be ethical guardrails. If we were sloppy our work would not be considered credible. We might even wind up looking like fools. I was ignored, so now comes the hangover. The controversy about Tucker Carlson interviewing Nick Fuentes and about Candace Owens pushing conspiracy theories is essentially a problem of journalistic ethics.

Remember when the Washington Post kept a running tab on how many "lies" President Trump supposedly told? It was something of a running joke for me, since 99% of the "lies" were typical Trump hyperbole and totally inconsequential. The sort of thing he says as a verbal tic, like "I had the biggest crowds," or "my poll numbers are the best ever." Hardly the stuff of a national crisis, and something Americans got used to filtering out as a matter of course. (Snip) I mean, really? 30,573 lies?

A few minutes ago, our colleagues at Twitchy caught up with the latest development in the Virginia election for Attorney General. Incumbent Republican Jason Miyares tweeted out last night that the Washington Post editorial board "agrees that decency is on the ballot," and had blasted Democrat challenger Jay Jones as "deranged." Curious as to the context, I clicked through to the link, and then to the editorial. I scrolled to find the passage. And scrolled. And scrolled. And scrolled.

It used to be that Westerners could look eastward to the Soviet Union, China, and North Korea and pat ourselves on the back about how much freer and more honest the media was here than in those totalitarian states. Now? I am pretty sure that our "news" media could teach a lesson or three to our totalitarian rivals about how to spin the news to push a party line. The only difference here is that it is not the government that usually tells the media what to say or cover, but the media and the technocrats aligned with the transnational elites who shape public opinion for their ideological allies

WASHINGTON — Democrats are bracing for the possible retirement of Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, one of the party’s most powerful, popular and effective leaders, who served as chief antagonist to President Donald Trump during his first term and has quietly counseled Democrats as they take on Trump in his second term. She is expected to make an announcement about her future after Tuesday’s elections, when voters will consider a ballot measure, known as “Proposition 50,” that would redraw the state’s congressional lines. Pelosi is a prominent proponent of the plan, which Democrats hope would net them several seats in next year’s midterm elections.

Since the assassination of her husband, Charlie Kirk, Erika Kirk has endured not only the agony of loss but the cruelty of a culture that mocks mourning. Instead of compassion, she has been met with ridicule. Memes circulate online, trivializing her grief. Commentators, some of them educators, journalists, and professionals, have publicly celebrated her suffering. A high school teacher posted that Kirk’s death was “worth it.” A university professor called it “karmic justice.” Others joked that Erika’s children would be “better off without a fascist father.” Most recently, a hugely popular podcaster called her a “fake” and a “grifter.” This is not fringe behavior.

Arctic Frost was the code name under which the Biden FBI conducted a sweeping, illicit investigation of much of the Republican Party. Arctic Frost was intended as the basis for the criminal case that Special Counsel Jack Smith brought against Donald Trump, who was then out of power, relating to his efforts to “overturn” the 2020 presidential election. That case eventually was dismissed, deservedly so. On Wednesday, Senator Chuck Grassley, Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, held a press conference at which he disclosed previously-unreported information about Arctic Frost: Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, released on Wednesday 197 subpoenas that the Biden administration’s FBI used to seek testimony and documents related to hundreds

Halloween is over, but there’s a scary atmosphere across college campuses, as revealed by Kamala Harris during a recent interview. According to Ms. Harris, her goddaughter, a junior in college, is experiencing climate anxiety, as are other students on campus. The angst is not surprising. For decades, the narrative of impending global climate catastrophe has trudged ahead nearly unimpeded through academia. Politicians and professional societies joined the steady march along the way. Mainstream media dutifully disseminated the descending doom. Yet now a broader, less frightening view of the climate is emerging with a perspective that challenges the climate story status quo. For instance, more of the public is learning

Dick Cheney, who died on Monday, was one of the most prominent and polarizing Republican vice presidents in history -- and in recent years a blunt-spoken critic of Donald Trump. Dick Cheney and his daughter, former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney, voiced their opposition to Trump after his push to deny the 2020 election results and the pro-Trump mob attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. In 2024, Dick Cheney and Liz Cheney endorsed Democrat Kamala Harris over Trump.

The Schumer Shutdown has been going on for more than a month now. It started on October 1, and the Senate won't even be able to have another vote on it until Tuesday at the earliest. The extended shutdown is raising concerns, particularly about funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and how it may be impacting air travel. Fox News Channel's Maria Bartiromo asked Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on Sunday if he thought the government would open this week, as the shutdown was "seriously impacting the U.S. economy."

The Vatican’s doctrinal office said Tuesday the titles of “Co-Redemptrix” and “Mediatrix” are not appropriate ways to describe Mary’s participation in salvation. In “Mater Populi Fidelis” (“The Mother of the Faithful People of God”), the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith (DDF) said when an expression requires frequent explanation to maintain the correct meaning, it becomes unhelpful. “In this case, the expression ‘Co-redemptrix’ does not help extol Mary as the first and foremost collaborator in the work of Redemption and grace, for it carries the risk of eclipsing the exclusive role of Jesus Christ,” according to the doctrinal note, released Nov. 4.

The White House offered no public condolences Tuesday on the death of former Vice President Dick Cheney — saying flags were lowered to half-staff at the executive mansion because the law requires it. President Trump has repeatedly attacked Cheney, who died Monday at age 84, as a “warmonger” and sparred with his daughter, former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) who served as the top Republican on the House select committee that investigated Trump’s role in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot. Both Dick and Liz Cheney endorsed then-Vice President Kamala Harris in last year’s election, with the former VP saying Trump was the greatest threat to the country since its founding.

Bill Gates should wear a “Trump was right about everything” hat to next month’s COP30 climate talks in Brazil as a sort of scarlet letter after his backflip on climate change. “Climate change is not the biggest threat to the lives and livelihoods of people in poor countries, and it won’t be in the future,” is the billionaire climate activist’s new line. Gates finally got to the right answer but not before doing immense damage as one of the most influential and well-heeled backers of a global scam to hijack science and scare the bejeesus out of a generation.
