Michael Bloomberg Flew Giant Blocks Of Ice To London On A Private Plane To Demonstrate 'Climate Change'
by Emily ZanottiDecember 17, 2018


Former New York mayor — and possible 2020 presidential candidate — Michael Bloomberg has flown several giant blocks of ice from Greenland to London for a public demonstration on how "climate change" affects the polar ice caps.

The blocks of ice, you see, melt in London's warmer weather, as ice is wont to do when temperatures hover above freezing.

Bloomberg timed the ice display to coincide with a United Nations international colloquium on climate change held earlier this month in Poland. That gathering, known as the "COP," is designed to help nations come together to "solve" the global climate "crisis," and Bloomberg, it seems, was doing his part by showing Londoners that ice can melt when the weather gets warmer.

There's just one problem — or, at least, there's one major irony. The ice chunks had to be flown from Greenland to London using specially designed devices. Once in London, they were dropped, then arranged in a "circular garden," but not before Bloomberg and his colleagues spent thousands — and emitted thousands of pounds of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere — getting the chunks from one place to another.

According to MyClimate.org, which can help frequent travelers calculate exactly how much CO2 they're releasing into the atmosphere with each trip, one, one-way trip from Nuuk, Greenland to Heathrow Airport in London emits 1.2 metric tons of carbon — but for one single passenger flying in economy class. A plane carrying a thousand-pound ice chunk emits much more.

Bloomberg hauled 24 blocks of ice from Greenland to London.

Conservatively, Bloomberg released 24 tons of carbon into the atmosphere — more than three U.S. households emit in an entire year.

At least, though, Bloomberg isn't alone in his hypocrisy. According to the Daily Signal, which calculated out the entire environmental cost of the full COP24 conference, his 24-ton expenditure barely resonates among his environmentalist colleagues, who shed more than 55,000 metric tons of carbon during their two week conference.

I think he made his point! Don’t you? What lip service.

Democrats Just Blocked Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Push For A Green New Deal Committee
Instead, Democrats are sticking to their original plan, and channeled Exxon Mobil in an announcement refusing to bar members who take fossil fuel money.

Democratic leaders on Thursday tapped Rep. Kathy Castor (D-Fla.) to head a revived U.S. House panel on climate change, all but ending a dramatic monthlong effort to establish a select committee on a Green New Deal.

Castor’s appointment came as a surprise to proponents of a Green New Deal. The move also kicked off a controversy as the six-term congresswoman dismissed calls to bar members who accept money from fossil fuel companies from serving on the committee, arguing it would violate free speech rights.

Despite weeks of protests demanding House Democrats focus efforts next year on drafting a Green New Deal, the sort of sweeping economic policy that scientists say matches the scale of the climate crisis, Castor told E&E News the plan was “not going to be our sole focus.”

She then suggested that barring members who have accepted donations from the oil, gas and coal industries from serving on the committee could be unconstitutional.

“I don’t think you can do that under the First Amendment, really,” she said.

That reasoning echoed arguments Exxon Mobil Corp. made in court as recently as this year to defend its funding of right-wing think tanks that deliberately produced misinformation about climate science to stymie government action on global warming.

Soon after the remarks were published, Castor walked back the statement in an interview with HuffPost, calling it an “inartful answer.”

But she said she did not know whether, as chairperson, she could bar members on the committee from serving if they accepted fossil fuel donations.

“Maybe that’s a discussion we need to have in the caucus,” Castor said.

It’s a stunning upset, essentially returning Democrats to the original plan leaders laid out before the protests began in November. The announcement comes as a loss for Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.). Her meteoric rise and devoted base made it seem as if she were poised to win the burgeoning cadre of leftist Democrats a beachhead in a select committee that, even with limited capacity, would have demonstrated tangible power in Washington

The climate crisis industry claims 24/7/365 that fossil fuel emissions are causing unprecedented temperature, climate and weather changes that pose existential threats to human civilization and our planet. The only solution, Climate Crisis, Inc. insists, is to eliminate the oil, coal and natural gas that provide 80% of the energy that makes US and global, cpossible.


Failing that, CCI demands steadily increasing taxes on carbon-based fuels and carbon dioxide emissions.

However, as France’s Yellow Vest protests and the latest climate confab in Poland demonstrated, the world does not accept CCI’s assertions. Countries worldwide are expanding their fossil fuel use, and families are refusing to reduce their living standards or their aspirations for better lives.

Moreover, climate computer model forecasts are completely out of touch with real-world observations. There is no evidence to support claims that the slight temperature, climate and weather changes we’ve experienced are dangerous, unprecedented or caused by humans, instead of by the powerful solar, oceanic and other natural forces that have driven similar or far more serious changes throughout history.

More importantly, the CCI “solutions” would cause unprecedented disruption of modern industrialized societies; permanent poverty and disease in poor countries; and serious ecological damage worldwide.

Nothing that is required to harness breezes and sunshine to power civilization is clean, green, renewable, climate-friendly or sustainable. Tens of billions of tons of rock would have to be removed, to extract billions of tons of ores, to create millions of tons of metals, concrete and other materials, to manufacture millions of wind turbines and solar panels, and install them on millions of acres of wildlife habitats – to generate expensive, intermittent energy that would still be grossly insufficient for humanity’s needs. Every step in this process requires fossil fuels – and some of the mining involves child labor.
