We’ve truly entered a new era in American governance when a top state elected official finds it worthwhile to travel to an international diplomatic event to proclaim what the world needs is to “stymie capitalism.”
That was the message from Mandela Barnes who was sworn in as Wisconsin’s new Lieutenant Governor last January.
Barnes summed up the tenor of an official UN panel at COP 25 entitled “Subnational strategies in North America for meeting Paris Commitments” in which U.S. and Canadian officials made no bones about their left-wing proclivities.
The panel consisted of: Mandela Barnes – WI lieutenant governor; Jared Blumenfeld – secretary CA EPA; Patricia Fuller – Canadian climate ambassador; Ben Grumbles – MD environment secretary; George Heyman – environment and climate minister for British Columbia; Yutsil Sanguines – Mexican climate change director.
The self-satisfaction and arrogance on display from this panel of government “servants” were palpable, as was their clearly stated contempt for the citizens they serve.
They made it clear that they don’t expect regular people to be able to understand the newly-christened climate “emergency.”
People don’t grasp what will happen in the future they told us, they are too concerned with their day-to-day lives.
Left unsaid but apparent from the context is that this is why they never stop shamelessly hyping normal weather events as “climate.”
If they want our votes today they have to scare us today.
That the perils they preach exist only in future projections from climate computer simulations is an inconvenient fact they’d prefer the public never learn. Particularly, as those computer simulations have over-projected warming from their inception.
I confronted Lt. Governor Barnes, and to his credit, he engaged and made no attempt to shut me down.
“How do you, and Nancy Pelosi in particular, have the authority to come to a diplomatic summit and state that ‘we’re still in’ when the official foreign policy of the United States is that America is withdrawing from the Paris Accord,” I asked him.
“That is the way our country has been working,” Barnes told me, “and that is the way it will continue to work, even under President Warren or Biden.”
How are they ensuring that “we’re still in” in Maryland, Wisconsin, and California? By filing over fifty lawsuits against the Trump Administration, blocking pipelines, and subsidizing windmills, solar panels, and electric cars.
In the case of California, they’re trying to kill the long-range family car by creating their own state fuel efficiency standards.
Al Gore arrived at the conference hall yesterday and was greeted by Debbie Bacigalupi from CFACT’s team (who took the above photo).
Michael Bloomberg announced yesterday that he is on his way to Madrid to join Harrison Ford at the COP. All of them are pushing the “we’re still in” line. Expect CFACT to be on the scene to greet them.
Let’s see if they’ll all feel the same way if their political hopes come true next November and American communities led by those who value freedom declare “we’re still out.”

The best way to stymie the Democrats is to put a dollar value, per average American, on carbon dioxide abatement. Present that scary information to the voters. We already know that most sane Americans are not willing to throw away their hard earned money “fighting climate change” .
Would you vote for a candidate that would legislate you out of your job?
Just another liberal democratic idiot and socialists what a total Nit-Wit we need to run the liberal democrats out
Namesake of a communist, no surprises here.
The US Constitution explicitly says that private citizens can not negotiate for United States. Even if they are elected officials in a state as far as the federal government goes they are still private citizens. Proclaiming that “we are still in” violates the constitution. This is typical of liberals. They ignore any part of the Constitution that doesn’t serve their purpose.
Ten years ago I was reading articles by leftists saying that global warming couldn’t be solved in the capitalist system. Socialism and communism have been hitchhiking on the climate movement for a long time. As with many agendas, they hope to use climate change to succeed because they can’t make it on their own merit. That is why they get so up set when someone points out that computer simulations have been over-projected warming.
T believe Mendela Barnes has committed a criminal act
in pretending to lawfully commit and represent the USA
in and to a treaty or treaty – like obligation even though
she has NO legal authority to do so.
Time for a**holes Nadler and Schitt to
launch a congressional investigation !
We now find ourselves battling communist liberals like Barnes that are actively seeking to destroy our freedom and wealth. Make no mistake, the goal is not just to make fuel and electricity more expensive. It’s a no-brainer for Pelosi’s group because they will pay nothing as they take over the controls; all we’ll be allow to do is grovel. The dirty little secret is climate change is gradual and it cannot be controlled or stopped by increasing taxes. If this movement continues these thieves will drive everyone to their knees in the quest for global government.
Fascists/Democrats have to be wipeout of the face of the Earth.
Trudeau and his climate barbie are refusing/failing to tell Canadians just how his Trudeau Carbon Tax is going to enable him to perform miracles and control world climate. What an arrogant jerk. How does he think he can control tornadoes in Kansas or blizzards in N. Dakota or charcoal smoke in India or locusts in Africa?
