Reality Caught Up to ‘Climate Change’

Original Article

Posted By: Moritz55, 11/17/2025 3:18:05 PM

For decades, the monolithic and sacrosanct international climate change hierarchy went unquestioned. Western nations in particular spent trillions of dollars over the past half-century to subsidize expensive but erratic wind and solar energy while demonizing carbon fuels as toxic threats to the planet. Like Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion dogma, climate change orthodoxy was embedded into every aspect of Western culture, from the corporate boardroom to the university campus. Question whether man-made global warming was truly responsible for increased temperatures rather than natural, often centuries-long cycles of heating and cooling of the planet, and one was labeled a climate crank.

Actually normal people questioned it from the start. We know we can't affect the sun, the winds and the tides. Plus con men like AlGore made millions flying around in his private jet, collecting money from industry and selling them carbon credits. No, we can't affect climate change. We can take good care of the planet and most try to.

I have been absolutely certain since the first ridiculous Earth Day that this whole thing has been a scam. Many groups and individuals have figured out how to twist this to their financial and power advantage, so they jump on the bandwagon of this scam. It has always been a scam. We are passengers on this rock, and we do NOT have the power to significantly affect the climate. We can't even really affect the weather.

FTA: 'Instead, the only solution is an “all of the above” strategy of building more nuclear, natural gas, clean-coal, wind, and solar generation plants.' IOW, we must abandon the dream of the virtue-signalling, Gaia-worshipping crazy people, for what actually works; and always has worked.

VDH is mostly correct, but an "all of the above" approach to the production of electricity isn't the way to go. Large scale solar and wind don't make any economic sense. Get rid of them completely. No more windmills. No more solar farms. Wasteful of both land and money.

I'm not at all positive that this stupid belief is on its way out. All the textbooks and high school courses include this nonsense, and plenty of people, including government employees (for example, those in Jamaica after the recent hurricane) still use their fossil fuel created technology to lambast skeptics. It will take a long, LONG time to change some people's minds!

I don't have a problem with wind and solar but there should be NO subsidies from the Federal government. If states want to pay subsidies, that's up to the people in the state. If the state then financially collapses, NO bailouts. Trump has the right idea. The federal government should NOT bail out states who do stupid stuff. Even if the federal government wants to do joint projects, the states should be required to have considerable skin in the game. I think it going to be really interesting to see "Climate Change" collapse. Up until recently, criticizing the dogma was like blaspheming against God. Careers have been ruined by the climate zealots. The evidence against the dogma has never been subjected to critical scrutiny because it just wasn't allowed. Now, that is going to happen and the whole house of cards is going to come tumbling down. Some of the dogma is going to turn out to be idiocy. Other parts might be based on good intentions but the evidence has never been carefully examined and once that is done the dogma will implode. Further, there are real explanations for the climate we see that actually match real climate behavior pretty well. The problem for the zealots is that if those theories are accepted as accurate, the causes are outside human control and can't be taken advantage of by politicians and manipulative wealthy people. No guilt tripping mankind.

Check with the Aussie's down under and ask them how they regard wind and solar-generated electricity and their exorbitant monthly power bills and rolling blackouts. As for me, my preference has always been nuclear power.

Why do we buy bread and milk before a

As millions of people braced for a massive winter storm to hit two-thirds of the country, grocery store shelves in the South, Midwest and Northeast started to look a little bare. Two essentials everyone seems to stock up on ahead of winter weather, bread and milk, were hit especially hard. But why do people gravitate to those two items in particular? Milk could go bad if you lose power, after all, and bread isn’t exactly a strong source of nutrition. Accuweather reports the idea of buying milk and bread before a winter storm dates back to the Great Blizzard of 1978, which hit New England.

President Trump’s remarks at Davos have caused a chorus of howls. Some of that howling is understandable. But some of it is makes as much sense as howling at the moon. Take the “Board of Peace” proposal. Countries like France and Britain are refusing to sign on to the president’s initiative. They complain that there are countries on the board they do not approve of. And that there is a risk that it could prove a rival organization to the United Nations.

A woman who said she was violently attacked by her ex-boyfriend last year told a London court that her friend Barron Trump unexpectedly saved her life after she managed to call him during the assault, United Kingdom media outlet Metro reported Wednesday. After answering the FaceTime call and witnessing the alleged assault, the 19-year-old son of President Donald Trump reportedly contacted emergency operators, prompting UK police to respond to the scene on Jan. 18, 2025, shortly after 2 a.m. local time. The woman, who cannot be named, reportedly claimed that her former Russian partner, 22-year-old Matvei Rumianstev, of east London, was jealous of her friendship with Trump.

US President Donald Trump said the broad outlines of the Greenland agreement were in place, without providing further details, but when asked about whether the US would own the island, Trump said the matter was somewhat complex. "It'll be forever for Greenland at this point, forever," Trump said about the agreement. He said the agreement would address security issues, as he has argued that the US must own Greenland for national security reasons amid concerns about threats from China and Russia.

Last week, President Trump announced that the United States will acquire Greenland one way or the other. Greenland is a self-governing territory of Denmark; it is the world’s largest island, with a small population of less than 100,000 inhabitants, mostly composed of indigenous people called Inuits. Because Greenland sits at the intersection of three continents (Asia, Europe, and North America) and is rich in strategic resources, it has immense geopolitical importance. The island is home to one of Earth’s largest uranium deposits. Uranium is essential for nuclear energy production, and it plays a crucial role in supporting nuclear power generation in the United States. Environmental groups oppose its extraction because they

Israel's decision on December 26, 2025 to recognize Somaliland as an independent state sent shockwaves across the Horn of Africa and beyond. Diplomatic pushback from Somalia and concern within the African Union (AU) followed over regional stability and territorial integrity. Somaliland, a self-governing region in northern Somalia, declared independence in 1991 following the collapse of Somali ruler Siad Barre's military regime. Tens of thousands of people were killed in the late 1980s as Barre's forces pursued rebel groups in the territory. Many Somalilanders argue the union with Somalia was unlawful and had failed, fuelling demands for self-rule and a separate, stable state

The American people are once again witnessing Minneapolis descend into chaos, as left-wing militants hold the city hostage to obstruct law enforcement primarily on behalf of illegal aliens and criminal scammers who have culturally decimated the city. Amid the rioting and destruction of vehicles and property of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other law enforcement, a suspected Latin Kings gang member allegedly stole an M16A1 rifle and a suppressor from a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) vehicle after federal agents were forced to abandon the scene due to “ensuing civil unrest,” according to the Department of Justice.

In the fall of 1998, I traveled to Denmark to take up my duties as the American Ambassador in Copenhagen. Often referred to as the “Fairytale Kingdom,” courtesy of its native son, Hans Christian Andersen, Denmark is a remarkable country that has been an exceptional ally of the United States for well over 200 years. The Danes have built a nation that combines Viking valor with a deep sense of duty to be one’s brother’s keeper. The admirable character of the Danish people was perhaps best exemplified when it became the only country in Europe to rescue virtually its entire Jewish population through a daring evacuation to neutral Sweden

An autonomous territory of Denmark thousands of kilometers from the US is currently center stage in a geopolitical tussle. US President Donald Trump says it's "unacceptable" that Greenland should not come under US control and has threatened tariffs on any countries who don't fall in line with his plans. While the territory is geographically in North America, its relationship with Denmark means it is culturally and politically European. Meanwhile, citizens and the governments of Denmark and Greenland are doing their best to resist Trump's overtures while Europe, China and Russia assess the importance of the vast, icy island to their interests.

The authors, Tessa Charlesworth and Eli Finkel, lament that this is not the case. "We wish we could share that optimism,"

When Renee Good drove her car into an ICE agent earlier this month, the left tried to gaslight us into believing she was just some innocent bystander who was just at the wrong place, that she’d just dropped her son off at school and wasn’t supposed to be there. That narrative fell apart fast. Good, we soon learned, was a trained anti-ICE agitator who was absolutely there to obstruct law enforcement. Now we're watching the same playbook unfold with 37-year-old Alex Pretti, the armed agitator shot dead by Border Patrol agents on Saturday in Minneapolis while confronting agents. The talking points are already circulating.

Accountability is coming” to Minnesota, Attorney General Pam Bondi declared as Democrats try to shift public attention away from large-scale government fraud and towards the chaos they have created in Minneapolis. The promise comes after an ICE officer shot a person dead during a Saturday street scuffle while Democrat-allied activists were trying to disrupt a federal law enforcement action. The shooting prompted Democrats to escalate their claims of murder by ICE and their demands that ICE leave the city amid the expanding federal investigation into what many Republicans say is statewide, migrant-enabled, Democratic-backed taxpayer fraud.

In just one sentence, the Minneapolis police chief tacitly endorsed violence against federal immigration officers, and made it clear why the violence continues to escalate without police interference. President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance partly blamed Minnesota authorities and police after an armed and violent protester ended up getting killed in a struggle with Border Patrol yesterday. After all, Minnesota Democrats are totally on the side of the criminal illegal aliens and rioters, and local police refuse to back up the feds. It seems Trump and Vance were even more right than we realized, based on shocking comments from Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara.

The Bank of England was advised to create a plan for the inevitable financial chaos that will result if and when world governments disclose the existence of aliens, according to a report. Former senior financial security analyst Helen McCaw sent a letter to the UK’s central bank urging the institution to prepare for the economic impact of little green men, the Times of London reported. If such a disclosure comes from the White House, Cambridge-educated McCaw projected in her letter, the revelation send shockwaves through financial markets and the banking system — and inspire general unrest amongst Earthlings.

But I note that the last time he said he wanted “peace on earth” was when he was asked whether he had any New Year’s resolutions just a couple of weeks ago. That was mere hours before he unleashed hell against the Venezuelan tyrant Nicolás Maduro, extracting him and his wife —

It’s unclear if Pretti had drawn the weapon and was immediately disarmed, if an officer had pulled it from his clothing or if he was in the process of pulling it out when a separate federal officer was seen taking it from the 37-year-old as he was pinned to the ground. Videos of the incident show officers shouting “he’s got a gun,”

One hard-and-fast rule that leftists obey is this: Always accuse political opponents of committing the same transgressions that you are preparing to commit. Accusing innocent people of doing terrible things is dirty politics, but it muddies the waters of public perception just enough to protect the guilty from accountability. When Democrats commit electoral fraud, they accuse Republicans of trying to steal elections. When leftist revolutionaries burn down cities, ambush and murder law enforcement officers, and demand that state and local governments “defund police,” Democrats accuse grandparents and veterans of being “insurrectionists.”
