The climate change crisis racket
By Taylor Day
Do Democrats really believe in the climate crisis they have dubbed an "emergency," or is it really just a way to make a quick buck?

Beto O'Rourke has suggested spending $5 trillion over the next ten years investing in climate change initiatives primarily for "vulnerable communities." Not to be outdone, Kamala Harris was one of the co-sponsors for the "Green New Deal," which proposes $700 billion a year in spending on a utopian garden future. Bernie Sanders, also a loud supporter of the GND, proposes going even farther and banning any new developments that would require fossil fuels. Cory Booker uses climate change to drum up fear, claiming with an re-introduced bill that the environment is racist (yeah, seriously), and although he hasn't laid out any specific plans, he has insinuated possibly legislating veganism.

All in all, looking at just the remaining 2020 Democratic candidates' proposals, the total amounts to $180,000,000,000,000 over a period of ten years, with climate change and health care–for-all mandates taking up the majority of this desired spending. One hundred and eighty trillion dollars. Just for perspective, that number is:

  • More than half the combined wealth of all current wealth in the entire world ($241 trillion by this estimate).
  • All of the stars in our galaxy multiplied by a giga, or ten to the ninth power.
  • Astrophysicist Greg Laughlin came up with a formula that the Earth itself is worth around 4.25 quadrillion USD, and Democrats want to spend almost 5% of that just on a handful of their policies.
Climate change must really be ready to kill off everyone in 12 years, as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez keeps saying, or how else could Democrats justify spending this much? While Democrats are eager to spend more money than Monopoly money–printers could ever print, if they really believe it to be such a crisis, why are they focused on America and not backing something as effective as military occupation of the world's largest polluters: China and India?

Further, if we are to believe the hype around the climate crisis, why aren't Democrats being the loudest about discouraging illegal immigration from countries with very low carbon emissions like Guatemala and El Salvador? Democrats could easily argue that illegal immigration is bad for the environment when they know that migrants from undeveloped nations will increase their "carbon footprints" once in America. If the climate is really the number-one threat to humanity, that should outweigh whatever Central Americans have going on that makes them want to escape their environmental paradises in the first place.

Alas, perhaps there's another answer to Democrats' incessant crying about climate change. It all comes down to the green — green cash money that is.

Carbon credits are tradable certificates. Each one allows the holder to emit one ton of carbon emissions. This has created an extremely valuable market out of the polluted thin air for buying and selling these carbon credit permits. The CCX (Chicago Climate Exchange) allows businesses, mutual funds, and other investment groups to trade these carbon credits and offsets like any other stock. Interestingly, the public company that runs the CCX also runs the European Climate Exchange.

More importantly, it's not having any effect on actual total carbon emissions. Undeveloped nations and businesses that are going green are selling their extra carbon credits to industry-rich nations and other heavily polluting businesses that have already burned through their own supply.

Following a hunch after taking in this must-read Forbes article, "Blood And Gore: Making A Killing On Anti-Carbon Investment Hype," which outlines Al Gore's immense wealth created from investing in climate credits, I looked to see if any other well known Democrats might have investments in this racket. Very quickly, I learned that the Clinton Foundation has so many initiatives put forth by carbon credit investment groups (a count on the Clinton Foundation's own webpage lists 39 pages of results) that the rabbit and ozone holes never really end. A few of these investment groups have even been uncovered to be scams, like this one out of London that committed to the Clinton Foundation at least twice and then used that partnership to validate itself to the people it was scamming.

The Democrats' end-of-the-world prophecies regarding the climate crisis are a way to influence these carbon markets. The more people value a carbon credit, the more it's worth, like any other supply/demand model. The more the credit is worth, the more the holders and hoarders of them make, my guess is, a lot of them are voting for the party that increases their value.
 
Finally, global warming, global cooling and climate change is over. What other reason would a radical liberal illegal x president and climate alarmist buy a waterfront house at the beach?

Let’s see poor old Barry explain this to his people.
Barack and Michelle Obama Are Buying a 29-Acre Martha’s Vineyard Vacation Compound

The Obamas have been indulging in more than one well-deserved vacation this summer, with trips to a secluded villa in Provence and a luxe couples retreat with George and Amal Clooney at their Lake Como home. Barack Obama and Michelle Obama also made their annual trip to Martha’s Vineyard, where they’ve been traveling every summer with their daughters, Sasha and Malia, for the past several years.

The former president and first lady have apparently been renting a palatial waterfront compound, and they’re about to make it a more permanent residence. The Obamas are reportedly in escrow for the lavish vacation retreat, according to TMZ, though it’s not a fully completed deal just yet—there are “contingencies so it’s possible it could fall apart,” but as of now it’s all set.

The massive 29-acre property was last on the market for $14.85 million, but per TMZ, the Obamas are paying a bit under that. The estate is being sold by Boston Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck, who has been trying to offload the place on and off since 2015, when he listed it for a hefty $22.5 million.
 
Obamas fight climate change by… buying an oceanside estate

Remember that time when former President Barack Obama was addressing Wall Street reform and said, “I do think, at some point, you’ve made enough money.”? Well, what better way to celebrate his own good fortune than buying a fabulous 29-acre estate on the island of Martha’s Vineyard, right? Unless, of course, people paying attention say, “Hey, wait a minute. What about your carbon footprint, Mr. Obama?”

The Obamas rented the place for the summer and loved it so much they offered to buy it. The owner, Boston Celtics owner, Wyc Grousbeck, took them up on it. The Obamas are said to be paying less than the listed price. Here is how TMZ describes the place:

The main residence is just shy of 6,900 square feet. It has 7 bedrooms, so Sasha and Malia have a place to crash, along with several of their friends. It has the obligatory pool, an outdoor fireplace, a chef’s kitchen, vaulted ceilings and 2 guest wings. It has incredible views, especially while soaking in the second-floor balcony Jacuzzi.

The beachfront is private … and comes with a boathouse.

The Left Don’t Actually Believe What They Are Selling About Climate Change

The realization of liberal hypocrisy when it comes to their constant doomsday pushing of global warming isn’t anything new. Still, there were two things that happened in the past week that perfectly illustrate a simple fact.

The left doesn’t actually believe what they are selling about “climate change.”

Time and again, we are presented with situations where some of the most outspoken proponents of minimalism and global warming hysteria could actually practice what they preach. Time and again, they chose not to, placing their own luxury and comfort above the planet they assure us needs saving.

Take the British “royals” for example, who are some of the most outspoken proponents of massive reduction in consumption to combat climate change.





According to The Daily Mail, Harry and Markle have been on four private jets in the last two weeks, resulting in a firestorm of criticism in the British press. Katie Nicholl, a close friend of the royal family’s, told Vanity Fair that Markle, who doesn’t read the tabloids, is aware of the controversy about her luxury travel but remains unconcerned about the attacks from the press.

“She’s moving on and riding above the storm,” Nicholl told the magazine. “She’s not wasting time or energy on the row over the private jets.”

Of course she’s not “wasting time” on it. It’s easy to ignore people pointing out your rampant hypocrisy when you don’t really believe what you’ve been saying anyway. For clarification, in just two of those private flights, Harry and Markle put out more carbon emissions than the average British citizen does in an entire calendar year. They managed to put out 100x more emissions than some Africans produce in the same time frame. All so they could avoid rubbing shoulders with the little people.

Their claims of security issues also turned out to be nonsense, as other members of the royal family were seen boarding a commercial flight just this week.

Michael Mann, creator of the infamous global warming ‘hockey stick,’ loses lawsuit against climate skeptic, ordered to pay defendant’s costs
By Thomas Lifson
Michael Mann, a climatologist at Penn State University, is the creator of the “hockey stick graph” that appears to show global temperatures taking a noticeable swing upward in the era when humanity has been burning fossil fuels and dumping CO2 into the atmosphere. The graph was first published in 1998, prominently featured in the 2001 UN Climate Report, and formed part of Al Gore’s 2006 movie, An Inconvenient Truth.

215597_5_.png


The graph’s methodology and accuracy have been and continue to be hotly contested, but Mann has taken the tack of suing two of his most prominent critics for defamation or libel. One case, against Mark Steyn, is called by Steyn likely to end up in the Supreme Court. But another case, against Dr. Tim Ball was decided by the Supreme Court of British Columbia, with Mann’s case thrown out, and him ordered to pay the defendant’s legal costs, no doubt a tidy sum of money. News first broke in Wattsupwiththat, via an email Ball sent to Anthony Watt. Later, Principia-Scientific offered extensive details, including much background on the hockey stick.

The Canadian court issued it’s final ruling in favor of the Dismissal motion that was filed in May 2019 by Dr Tim Ball’s libel lawyers.

Not only did the court grant Ball’s application for dismissal of the nine-year, multi-million dollar lawsuit, it also took the additional step of awarding full legal costs to Ball. A detailed public statement from the world-renowned skeptical climatologist is expected in due course.

This extraordinary outcome is expected to trigger severe legal repercussions for Dr Mann in the U.S. and may prove fatal to climate science claims that modern temperatures are “unprecedented.” (snip)

Dr Mann lost his case because he refused to show in open court his R2 regression numbers (the ‘working out’) behind the world-famous ‘hockey stick’ graph (shown below).

Real science, not the phony “consensus” version, requires open access to data, so that skeptics (who play a key role in science) can see if results are reproducible. Of course, there are no falsifiable experimental data associated with the global warming predictions of doom, so it doesn’t really stand as science as Karl Popper defined it

This is an important victory in the process of debunking the warmist scare.
 
Well, the Democratic National Committee’s summer meeting in San Francisco devolved into chaosas climate change protesters stormed the room once guest credentials had been exhausted. The committee has rejected a resolution to have a presidential debate that only focused on climate change. That infuriated members of the Sunrise Movement (via ABC 7):
 
Where do the " Obama's " get $ 14.85 Million to purchase 29 acres of property
in Martha's Vineyard....

$ 14.85 / 29 = $ 512, 068.96 per acre ( Which includes the property )

As of Jan 17, 2019 Barack Obama's net worth is approx $ 40 million....
His yearly salary as POTUS was $ 400,000.00
400,000 x 8 = $ 3.2 Million total paid salary from
Jan 20, 2009 - Jan 20, 2017

I'm not counting Michele's income as that is based on " Futures "
you have to sell the books to create capital....
( She had no salary or income before or during " His " Presidency )
( Yes they both got healthy advances on books and Netflixs
obligations.
Books - somewhere in the range of $ 60 - 100 Million
Netflix's - somewhere in the range of $ 100 - 300 Million )

Remember this was only less than a year ago....
You gotta sell the books and have a return on the series
to generate capital....

With the Democrats running around preaching " recession is falling "
where's the projected income going to come from....

Something is very " Fishy " in the Deep State....!
 
Nolte: Martha’s Vineyard Home Proves Obama Knows Global Warming’s a Hoax

Barack and Michelle Obama are proving with the purchase of a $15 million home on Martha’s Vineyard that they know Global Warming is a hoax.

Do you want to know the very last thing a true believer in Global Warming would ever do…?

Move to an island and invest $15 million in a home with a — no joke — ocean view. But…

According to various news reports, Barry and Michelle are doing exactly that, and I do mean exactly that…

Here’s a photo of the estate, all 7,000 square feet of the mansion and the surrounding property… You see all that blue stuff off to the right…? That’s the Atlantic Ocean, y’all…

Now, some might see an awful lot of hypocrisy in a Global Warming believer like Obama purchasing a massive estate that will create an equally massive carbon footprint.

Fair enough.

But that only proves Barry’s a hypocrite, not that he’s a Global Warming Denier.

Investing some $15 million to live on an island home that sits right on the Atlantic Ocean…? You want to know what this is… That is not just the actions of a hypocrite; what we have here is a full-blown Global Warming Denier, a Climate Denier, someone who is so sure the sea levels will never rise, he’s backing up that certainty with $15 million.

Hey, who said this…?

No nation, however large or small, wealthy or poor, can escape the impact of climate change. Rising sea levels threaten every coastline. More powerful storms and floods threaten every continent.

Barry said that about ten years before he spent $15 million for a home on … the coastline.

Hey, who said this…?

The science is beyond dispute and the facts are clear. Sea levels are rising. Coastlines are shrinking.

Barry said that about ten years before he spent $15 million for a home on … the coastline.

Hey, who said this…?

[W]e’ll continue to see rising oceans, longer, hotter heat waves, dangerous droughts and floods.

Barry said that about seven years before he spent $15 million for a home on … the ocean.

The Obamas are literally investing $15 million in the fact that Global Warming is a hoax.

What’s more, he is only 58 years old. He’s got at least another 25 to 30 years.

Regardless of his age, if Global Warming were real, this would be a terrible investment under any circumstance. As this dumb 12-year deadline counts down, it should be property along the coastlines that lose the most value, while inland property rates skyrocket due to overcrowding by leftists fleeing to safety… right?

But leftists are not leaving the coast, and the value of coastline property continues to rise.

If you want to know what people truly believe, don’t listen to what they say they believe… No, you have to watch what they actually do… And the very same people who are bullying us to give up our cars and beef and grills — because if we don’t, the oceans will rise and destroy the coasts!! — are the very same people living on … the coast.

Maybe they would rather drown, rather lose everything than live among us deplorables, but there are plenty of blue cities in flyover country… Why don’t these bigots move there?

Because they know it’s all bullshit. And Obama knows it’s bullshit. And the media surely know it’s bullshit because the media are doing the exact same thing Obama’s doing…

While far-left CNN dehumanizes anyone who doesn’t believe in Global Warming, the fake news network is moving its primary base of operations from inland Atlanta to right on — again, no joke — the water in Manhattan, the very same Manhattan the media said would be underwater already.

If Barry and Michelle Obama don’t believe in Global Warming, why should I?

Why should anyone?

That must be the problem.
But I can brag about my ability to spell the word "too."
Maybe he meant, in fractured English, that you were on your way "to" Humble, Humble Texas? Never can be sure where LE gets his narrative from, he always reacts to one of his own making.
