Among its top search results today for “climate change,” Google News is promoting a story published by AZO CleanTech claiming global warming threatens blueberry harvests in Maine.
However, data from the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture show blueberry production and yields in Maine, in the United States, and throughout the world have set records over the past few decades.
Months after President Biden snubbed Canadian officials by canceling Keystone XL, an impending showdown over a second crude oil pipeline threatens to further strain ties between the two neighbors that were frayed during the Trump administration.
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, a top Biden ally, ordered Canadian energy company Enbridge last fall to shut down its Line 5 — a key piece of a crude delivery network from Alberta’s oil fields to refineries in the U.S. Midwest and eastern Canada.
Having spent our adult lives involved with and supporting science and technology, it is frustrating and infuriating to endure uninformed politicians, pundits, and ideologues bloviating about the climate, to say nothing of the pointless dithering about whether we should be referring to climate change or to the climate crisis.
It’s not hard to see why politicians like Joe Biden and Boris Johnson want to talk about climate change.
First of all, it looks good to the electorate. Caring about the planet (or at least being seen to care about the planet) is one of the things that marks you out as ‘a good person’.
Foreign intelligence service MI6 (pictured) will spy on other nations to check whether they are abiding by their climate change pledges, one of Britain’s top spy chief has said.
The head of the Secret Intelligence Service (SIS), Richard Moore, indicated that the agency’s “green spying” could target large industrial nations, claiming that alleged man-made climate change is “foremost international foreign policy item for this country and for the planet.”
Determined to eviscerate and reverse Trump’s foreign policies and progress with hostile adversaries, the Biden administration has reset China’s priorities altogether.
Previous primary threats no longer top that list: engagement on Taiwan, Hong Kong, the South China Sea, intellectual property theft, or Beijing’s repression of Uighurs in Xinjiang.
Dear Prime Minister
‘Climate change’, ‘global warming’, ‘climate emergency’, ‘planetary emergency’ are different names describing the same apocalypse.
Since you’re ‘following the science’ you’ll appreciate that precise language is needed to describe events. You see, there are actually two types of climate change: natural and anthropogenic (meaning man-made).
Another pro-President Joe Biden union just told its rank-and-file members: Sorry, guys, you are all fired.
Last week, the United Mine Workers of America union endorsed Biden’s energy policies. Yes, you read that right. The coal-mining union bosses have embraced a bill that outlaws coal mining.
As President Biden readies his breathtakingly irresponsible pledge to double the United States’ commitments under the doomed Paris climate treaty, nineteen public interest groups have sent joint letters to Republican House and Senate leadership calling for an investigation of, and an all-out effort to block Biden’s end-run around Congress to impose the Green New Deal through a regulatory backdoor.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA), and others have reintroduced the Green New Deal (GND), during what they deem “Green New Deal week.”
Originally introduced in 2019, the GND went down in a ball of flames, reminiscent of the 1937 Hindenburg disaster.
However, that has not stopped Ocasio-Cortez and friends from resurrecting the GND amid much media fanfare.
