Remember Ms. Jackson? The friend of former Green Jobs Czar
Van Jones –– both
far-left radical environmentalists –– who promised “
environmental justice” and referred to this government agency as “
Obama’s EPA”?
NEWSFLASH: Hillary Clinton, whom I'll address later in regards to
climate change, is not the first (nor the last) of President Obama's top
officials that have been busted breaking the law with their shady
e-mail practices. Political appointees
across many agencies have been
caught using "secret" e-mail accounts to conduct government business. This
ranges across
several government agencies, including the Health and Human Services
Department (HHS), the Labor Department (DOL) as well as the
Department of Energy (DOE), and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Who could forget that Jackson used an alter ego “Richard Windsor” as her e-mail account to conduct EPA business?
Jackson is gone, and transparency never came back.
Widely known as Obama’s “green quarterback,” Gina McCarthy
became the new EPA chief sometime in July 2013. Since that time, she's been
out on her own
climate change fear mongering tours. Just this past January, in her
speech at the American Meteorological Society (AMS) annual meeting in
Phoenix, the
Washington Post recorded this:
McCarthy described the goals of President Obama’s Climate Action Plan:
1) reducing carbon pollution that contributes to climate change 2)
preparing communities for climate impacts and 3) leading the world in
addressing climate change.
“The real danger and the real economic problem we face is not taking action,” McCarthy said.
And, all you have to do is mosey over to Ms. McCarthy's
EPA blog to find more climate alarm bells.
But then again there's a
new Sheriff in town: Republican Senator Jim Inhofe, whom in 2012 penned the book,
The Greatest Hoax: How the Global Warming Conspiracy Threatens Your Future, is now the
chairman of Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee.
What's very telling is that at
a recent EPW Committee hearing, "Senator Jeff Sessions
grilled EPA chief Gina McCarthy and left her unable to justify her
money grab, showing that she could not explain whether climate change models were correct or not,"
reported Breitbart News.
Still, the most disingenuous aspect is that as the Green Left continues their fear mongering campaign,
they fly around in private jets,
reside in mansions and dine on steak, while at the same time they are
seeking to control every aspect of our lives. This ranges from our
energy use,
to our cars, to our
light bulbs, to our
wood-burning appliances, to our
refrigerators and air conditioners, dishwashers,
ceiling fans, lamps,
gas furnaces, and
clothes dryers, and even our toilets and
our bullets, with our
backyard barbecues and how long
we can take a shower now being considered –– all under the guise of protecting the environment.
The latest is that the Greenies now want to control what you eat –– more
specifically you must stop eating meat. The federal government, and
their
left-wing climate pushers, are now warning, "
America should adopt a plant-based’ diet." However, this is not in consideration for Americans' health, but more so for the needs of the environment.
Moreover, in response to the federal Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee
report, which was
released on February 19, 2015, the Daily Signal
noted that
"the Advisory Committee’s report focused on unrelated issues such as
environmental concerns, among other things..." Yep, their recipe
includes “sustainability" as well as “green” urban planning –– just to
name just two.
Do you know what they really need to regulate? Where where retailers put those dang price tags; that would
save me a lot of grief.
Meanwhile, there's another corrupt and costly agency doing Obama's
bidding that's not only spending tens-of-billions of taxpayer money on
green (clean, renewable, alternative) energy, but they are also scheming
ways to combat climate change.
This is the Department of Energy (DOE) that has also been in the
business of propping up Obama's rich green cronies and funneling big
green bucks to Big Corporations and Big Venture Capital Firms. Many know
that the DOE has been front and center in my work since this blog was
launched in April 2012 with the
bombshell report, "Department of Energy 'Junk Loans' and Cronyism"–– a story that, prior to, was
picked up by the Daily Caller.
However, more relevant here are the two men that Obama tapped to lead
this federal agency. Remember when Energy Secretary Steven Chu, before
he took a job as part of
Obama's Green Dream Team,
in September 2008, "called for gradually ramping up gasoline taxes over
15 years to coax consumers into buying more-efficient cars and living
in neighborhoods closer to work,"
wrote the
Wall Street Journal.
Yep, Chu
said, “
Somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe."
And, our new energy secretary is no better. Prior to Ernest Moniz confirmation in 2013, his radical idea was that "
we need carbon tax to double or triple energy cost."
The
Washington Examiner recorded the
following: Moniz, "regards a carbon tax as one of the simplest ways to
move the energy industry towards clean technologies, though he notes
that government would have to come up with a plan to mitigate the burden
this tax places on poor people, who would pay the most."
Well, that fits nicely with candidate
Obama's promise: "Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket" ––
one of the very few promises he has kept.
President Obama Declares that "the Climate Change Debate is Over"
June 2013–– President Obama Goes on Climate Tour to Save the Children
In June 2013, when the president released his new climate change initiative, Obama
vowed to save the planet by circumventing Congress –– an ECO-Play that
liberals can believe in. At that time the president’s fear tactics took center stage:
I refuse to condemn your generation and future generations to a planet that is beyond fixing.
Then the community organizer went
on tour, using our youth as part of the propaganda:
...And if we remember what's at stake ––
the world we leave to our children –– I'm convinced that this is a
challenge that we will meet.
However, there was no mention of the
massive debt that we are leaving our children.
January 2014 –– President Obama: "Climate change, oh yes we did!"
While President Obama, during his first term (
and into 2012) graced the State of the Union Address
by promoting
clean energy and green jobs many times, his fifth address took on a
different tone. "Mr. Obama gave Congress an ultimatum: Pass climate
change legislation or brace yourself for an administration-wide assault
on greenhouse gas emissions,"
reported POLITICO.
“We can choose to believe that Superstorm Sandy, and the most severe
drought in decades, and the worst wildfires some states have ever seen
were all just a freak coincidence. Or we can choose to believe in the overwhelming judgment of science — and act before it’s too late,” he said.
By his sixth address, which occurred on January 28, 2014, he entered in the fate of our children, and he emphatically
declared that the climate change debate is over.
But the debate is settled. Climate change
is a fact. And when our children's children look us in the eye and ask
if we did all we could to leave them a safer, more stable world, with
new sources of energy, I want us to be able to say yes, we did.
This is a claim that many Americans, including
Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer, find "
absurd” –– with
even
co-founder of Greenpeace Patrick Moore, in February, stating to members
of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee that there is no
scientific proof of man-made climate change.
And those that dare question, deny, or even disagree in the slightest with the idea of human-caused climate change are
shamed, bullied and even
punished. Meanwhile, the Green Left (the "climate alarmist establishment") smears
climate skeptics and scientists that "tell the truth about global warming."
Case in point are the recent attacks "in the press by various radical
environmental and politically motivated groups" of Dr. Willie Soon,
which was
featured by James Delingpole at Breitbart
as well as John Hinderaker at Power Line.
The latest on the war on climate, which was, this month,
exposed by Hinderaker
as well, is that "liberals are trying to discredit realist scientists
by claiming that they are funded by the fossil fuel industry or other
supposedly nefarious interests."
Hinderaker counters with this:
This is hugely ironic. The American environmental movement is paid for
in part by oil interests–Russian oil interests, which don’t want
American petroleum developed via fracking. Beyond that, alarmist
scientists are massively funded, to the tune of billions of dollars
every year, by the worst special interest of them all: government.
Governments have more at stake in the global warming controversy than
anyone: they largely invented it, and use it as a pretext for a grab for
power over their respective economies. Which is to say, over their
citizens’ lives.
Obviously, those that proclaim that the "
science is settled" will resort to anything in order destroy any, even the worthiest, debate on climate change –– even as we await
the globe to blow up, as predicted decades ago.
Maybe they are waiting for Dr. Evil to "lower the globe!"
But seriously, this too is detrimental to our Nation and our planet at large, because the reality is that the “
CLIMATE SCIENCE IS NOT SETTLED!” –– a piece also found at Power Line and written by Steven Hayward.
Moreover, Obama's
recycled political machine, now called
Organizing for Action (OfA) that describes itself as "a social welfare nonprofit group," since its 2013
transformation, is not only another
left-wing mouthpiece
for the president, but pushes the progressive movement to the far
limits. This includes climate change, of which they have been pushing
from the very beginning –– and OfA is currently "
building a team to take the fight to climate change deniers."
September 23, 2014 –– President Obama: "Climate change is an urgent and growing threat"
The president also
announced
"a series of executive actions to fight climate change" –– just adding
to the long list of this administration's mandates, regulations, and
executive orders that have already burdened American citizens,
especially the poor.
Furthermore, no climate speech is complete without fear mongering. Even as we live in a time of "
global chaos," President Obama dramatically
sounded more "global warming alarm bells" at the September 2014 U.N. Climate Change Summit:
For all the immediate challenges that we
gather to address this week -- terrorism, instability, inequality,
disease -- there’s one issue that will define the contours of this
century more dramatically than any other, and that is the urgent and
growing threat of a changing climate...
His statement, at that time, was even more dire and urgent, using his community organizer expertise:
So the climate is changing faster than our
efforts to address it. The alarm bells keep ringing. Our citizens keep
marching. We cannot pretend we do not hear them. We have to answer the
call. We know what we have to do to avoid irreparable harm. We have to
cut carbon pollution in our own countries to prevent the worst effects
of climate change. We have to adapt to the impacts that, unfortunately,
we can no longer avoid. And we have to work together as a global
community to tackle this global threat before it is too late.
We cannot condemn our children, and their
children, to a future that is beyond their capacity to repair. Not when
we have the means -- the technological innovation and the scientific
imagination -- to begin the work of repairing it right now.
January 20, 2015 –– President Obama: "No challenge poses a greater threat to future generations than climate change..."
During President Obama's seventh State of the Union Address on January 20, 2015,
as usual, he spent time urging the climate change message forward with panic. This was
applauded by EcoWatch, while PBS
touted it as "[Obama's] strongest case yet for combating global climate change."
Here's EcoWatch:
President Obama began by saying; “No challenge—no challenge—poses a greater threat to future generations than climate change. 2014 was the planet’s warmest year on record.
Now, one year doesn’t make a trend, but this does—14 of the 15 warmest
years on record have all fallen in the first 15 years of this century.”
“I’ve heard some folks try to dodge the evidence by saying they’re
not scientists; that we don’t have enough information to act,” he
continued. “Well, I’m not a scientist either. But you know what — I know
a lot of really good scientists at NASA, and NOAA, and at our major
universities. The
best scientists in the world are all telling us that our activities are
changing the climate, and if we do not act forcefully, we’ll continue to
see rising oceans, longer, hotter heat waves, dangerous droughts and floods, and massive disruptions that can trigger greater migration, conflict and hunger around the globe.
The Pentagon says that climate change poses immediate risks to our national security.
We should act like it. That’s why, over the past six years, we’ve done
more than ever before to combat climate change, from the way we produce
energy to the way we use it. “
Yep, Obama's Pentagon, in October 2014, "
unveiled a plan for military's response to climate change." The report (“
2014 Climate Change Adaptation Roadmap”) included an introduction by Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, of which the Hill
reported the following: "
Among the future trends that will impact our national security is climate change."
"Rising global temperatures, changing
precipitation patterns, climbing sea levels, and more extreme weather
events will intensify the challenges of global instability, hunger,
poverty, and conflict. They will likely lead to food and water
shortages, pandemic disease, disputes over refugees and resources, and
destruction by natural disasters in regions across the globe," he adds.
The report asserts that climate change will
affect the Pentagon's ability to "defend the nation" and "poses
immediate risks to U.S. national security," which is why the department
is factoring impacts into everything from "war games" to "defense
planning scenarios."
According
to the New York Times, this Pentagon report "[asserted] decisively that
climate change poses
an immediate threat to national security, with increased risks from
terrorism, infectious disease, global poverty and food shortages. It
also predicted rising demand for military disaster responses as extreme
weather creates more global humanitarian crises."
Even Center for American Progress (CAP), the George Soros-funded
progressive think tank, closely aligned with the Obama White House and a
major player inside this green energy scheme that I'll briefly address later,
was front and center with this headline:
"PENTAGON: GLOBAL WARMING POSES 'IMMEDIATE RISK' TO NATIONAL SECURITY!"
Besides the fact that this fits the Obama White House climate "doomsday" narrative perfectly, shouldn't the Defense Department
focus on ISIS,
al-Qaida, Iran, Russia, the Middle East, our borders, and so on... NOT Climate Change?
What about all the recent mysterious
missing planes? And who killed President Kennedy?
But the DoD's national security climate mission is not the only consideration, they are also in the business of waging a "
Green War," which involves
renewable energy initiatives, overshadowing the Energy Department (at leas in 2010 that we know of), costing (wasting) hundreds of millions of dollars.
February 10, 2015 –– President Obama: "Climate change graver threat than terrorism"
Just this past February, the president, during his never-ending
fear-mongering campaign,
asserted the following threat:
"Climate change poses a graver threat day-in and day-out to Americans than terrorism..."
Finally, in an interview this month with
VICE founder Shane
Smith, "President Obama called climate change an example of one of the
hardest problems to solve, warning that there eventually comes a point
of no return,"
heralded CAP.
While some of the highlights included additional climate change fear,
the president then shifted his attack on deniers and the Republican
party: "You’ve got one side [the Republican Party] that is denying the
facts, who are often motivated, principally, by opposing whatever it is
that I propose,” Obama said.
Do you smell... "whoa is me?"
Secretary of State John Kerry: The climate change fear monger in chief
Well, we have to give them credit, because unlike
the Benghazi cover up that was an utter disaster,
at least when it comes to climate change, the Obama White House,
despite it being a bunch of hogwash, has their "talking points" –– an
all out war strategy –– lined up pretty well.
As the so-called deniers' are publicly and maliciously demonized, we can
add Vice President Biden to the fray, because in the HBO program
VICE, of which Climate Depot’s Morano
asserts "was basically a hit job on 'climate deniers,'" while pushing the "catastrophic ice melt theme,"
Biden "painted skeptics of climate change as stupid."
Still, horror and urgency has run amok –– with the terrorism alarm bell relentlessly echoed by Secretary of State John Kerry.
 |
Secretary of State John Kerry jetting around the world
preaching the man-made global warming hysteria |
But the first thing you need to know about Mr. Kerry is that in January
2013, when he was still a senator, we blew the lid off of the "
Climate Hawk and His Green Inside Deals."
Second: As Kerry preaches "global warming doom and gloom," his government carbon footprint
has been enormous for some time –– with no end in sight. And, who's tracking his personal carbon footprint?
In 2012, Kerry was marked as the
wealthiest member of the Senate. And,
according to the
Washington Free Beacon back in 2012, "He is also a prolific investor,
maintaining an array of stocks and other holdings through a mix of
family trusts, marital trusts, and commingled fund accounts with his
wife, Big Ketchup baroness Teresa Heinz."
Apparently it was the "environment" that brought the happy couple
together: "John Kerry first met Teresa Heinz at an Earth Day rally in
1990. The two reconnected at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992,
and then, three years later, wed,"
documented Grist.org in 2007 when the political power couple were advocating
their new book,
This Moment on Earth: Today’s New Environmentalists and Their Vision for the Future.
OK... but Kerry, in 2011, was portrayed in a different light in a
bombshell book called,
Throw Them All Out: How Politicians and Their Friends Get Rich Off
Insider Stock Tips, Land Deals, and Cronyism That Would Send the Rest of
Us to Prison, which was authored by Peter Schweizer.
In fact, "Kerry is one of several lawmakers prominently featured in
this landmark book on how elected politicians exploit their privileged
positions to enhance their personal wealth,"
noted The Beacon.
By the way, Schweizer's bestseller help usher in the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act — known as the
STOCK Act,
which made it more difficult (not impossible) for elected officials to
trade stock on inside government Intel. However, soon thereafter
it was gutted.
While Schweizer and The Beacon
expose
the fact "The Massachusetts Senator’s most dubious trading activity
coincided with two major political events—the financial crisis of late
2008 and the passage of President Obama’s controversial health care
overhaul in March 2010," it is his "green wheeling and dealing" that is
more relevant to this story.
The Beacon again hits it dead on: "For years, Kerry has invested
millions in a number of green energy companies that have benefited from
the president’s efforts to aggressively subsidize the industry with
taxpayer dollars."
What's key too is that Kerry played a part in crafting President Obama’s 2009
Recovery Act –– the trillion-dollar stimulus law, of which
$100 billion was earmarked for "
green energy" initiatives.
It turns out that about that same time Kerry invested in the Venture
Capital (VC) firm Kleiner Perkins, where the mega-rich Obama green
cronies, Al Gore and John Doerr are partners –– the former being the
former vice president and global warming guru, while the latter is
another key player inside this green energy scam that also
shaped the energy sector of the stimulus package.
The Beacon reported:
Kerry purchased—through family trusts—between $30,000 and $100,000
worth of shares in a number of KPCB investment funds, including its
“Green Growth Fund,” and continued to purchase shares throughout 2010 [and 2011], according to the Senator’s financial disclosure forms.
According to his
investment records,
I found that Kerry had invested in both Kleiner Perkins Caufield &
Byers XIII and the KPCB Green Growth Fund on March 31, 2009 –– just over
a month after the stimulus law passed and
was signed by President Obama on February 17, 2009.
Kleiner Perkins has been on my radar
since 2010,
exposing the fact that this Big VC firm with close ties to Obama, has
scored billions in green stimulus and other funds. The last time I did a
complete analysis, I found that over 50 percent of their
Greentech Portfolio won
a ton of green cash (36 of the 66 listed at that time), including the
ones that Kerry had invested –– a tally that included mostly stimulus
loans, grants and special tax breaks.
But that's not the only green cash that Gore scored from the Obama
administration, which will be briefly documented later, however here is a
glimpse into my
January 21, 2013 Green Corruption File on Kerry, where I noted the following:
Kerry seems to average about twelve percent of his published assets in "energy & natural resources,"
and with a quick glance, besides Kleiner Perkins, we find that there
are numerous large corporations that are tied to a massive amount of
renewable energy funds from the 2009 Stimulus; like BP, Bank of America,
Citigroup, Exelon Corp, General Electric, Google, and Southern Co.
Fox News
reported the following shortly thereafter:
Within 90 days of his confirmation he would move to sell off holdings
in three trusts benefiting him and his wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry. In the
Jan. 8 letter to the department's Office of the Legal Adviser, Kerry
said he would not take part in any decisions that could affect the
companies he has holdings in until those investments are sold off.
So, this month I glanced through John Kerry's "Periodic Transaction
Reports (PTRs) –– 17 pages long –– that can be found at the Center for
Responsive Politics. While there were NO transactions listed in 2012, it
seems
that in 2013, Kerry did divest in Kleiner Perkins, which is noted in his financial records that I've listed below:
- Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers XIII Exchanged Feb 4 2013 $50,001 to $100,000
- Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers XIV Exchanged Feb 4 2013 $50,001 to $100,000
- KPCB Digital Growth Fund Exchanged Feb 4 2013 $15,001 to $50,000
- KPCB Green Growth Fund LLC Exchanged Feb 4 2013 $100,001 to $250,000
- KPCB XV LLC Exchanged Feb 4 2013 $15,001 to $50,000
It's interesting that there is plenty of action –– exchanges and
purchases –– within Kerry's investment portfolio (year 2013) with a
company named
Natural Gas Partners
. For example:
- Natural Gas Partners X LP Purchased Feb 5 2013 $1,001 to $15,000
- Natural Gas Partners IX LP Exchanged Dec 30 2013 $15,001 to $50,000
While there is no mention of BP, Bank of America, Citigroup, Exelon
Corp, General Electric, Google, or Southern Company, there's many
"exchanges" with Blackstone Capital Partners –– one of the firms
featured in The Beacon article as a top Kerry donor as well as in the
clean-energy business.
For example
the Clean Power Transmission Project:
In 2009, Blackstone funded a management team to create Transmission
Developers Inc. (TDI). TDI is in the process of developing an innovative
power transmission line that will bring safe, secure, affordable,
renewable power to New York and New England from the U.S.-Canadian
border.
Yet, we find this purchase: "Blackstone Capital Partners IV LP Purchased Jun 13 2013 $1,001 to $15,000."
Hmm. OK, but I think somebody needs to revisit Secretary of State
Kerry's 2013 transactions. In the meantime, the following captures some
of the climate panic initiated by Kerry over the last few years.
August 2009 –– Senator Kerry: "Climate change threatens human security, global stability, and American national security"
Kerry has been an ardent believer in climate change as a man-made crisis. In fact,
as reported by the
Los Angeles Times, "Kerry has been pushing for action on global warming since he attended the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992."
In August of 2009, he penned an op-ed that compared the threat of climate change to the 9-11 attacks. In it Kerry
wrote:
“Make no mistake: catastrophic climate
change represents a threat to human security, global stability, and —
yes — even to American national security. … Unfortunately, not everyone
in Washington appreciates the stakes. It's tragic that we live at a time
when if one were to dismiss the threat of terrorism, you'd be sent home
in the next election. But there are no similar political consequences
if you dismiss the science or the threat of climate change.”
On
September 30, 2009, Kerry and California Senator Barbara Boxer (
another climate crusader)
introduced the Senate version of a cap-and-trade bill: the 821-page
Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act — also known as the
Kerry-Boxer Bill. At the time, he
said that the bill aimed at curbing greenhouse gas emissions and therefore slowing global warming:
“Ultimately, this bill is about keeping Americans safe.”
The Kerry-Boxer Bill didn’t pass. But that hasn’t slowed Kerry’s crusade against global warming.
He then co-authored cap-and-trade legislation, more specifically the 2010
American Power Act.
Kerry most likely saw the Secretary of State position as a means to push
harder on the climate change agenda, and use his new podium and power
as a means to frighten the masses into submission.
When Kerry was in midst of his confirmation (December 2012), the
Los Angeles Times, and other left-wing groups,
championed his mission:
"Secretary of State nominee John Kerry, with 20 years of concern about
climate change, is expected to push the issue to center stage as a
slow-motion crisis in need of a global solution."
And so he has...
February 15, 2014 –– Secretary of State Kerry: "Climate Change is the world's most fearsome weapon of mass destruction"
In February 2014, the now-Secretary of State Kerry, "took time out of
his global travels on expensive jet airplanes to remind people of the evils of …
global warming,"
noted HotAir.com.
Yep, while in Indonesia, Kerry not only took time to scare the Indonesian people, but also
bash climate change deniers, referring to them as Flat Earth Society members.
Here's a snippet from HotAir:
“Think about the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction [WMD].
It doesn’t keep us safe if the United States secures its nuclear arsenal
while other countries fail to prevent theirs from falling into the
hands of terrorists,” Kerry told students at a high-tech U.S.-funded cultural center at a Jakarta mall.
Kerry added, “The bottom line is this: it
is the same thing with climate change. In a sense, climate change can
now be considered another weapon of mass destruction, perhaps even the
worlds most fearsome weapon of mass destruction.”
This month, this WMD comparison resurfaced when a top adviser to President Obama and member of National Security Council Staff,
Alice Hill said that climate change is 'one of eight top strategic risks to United States’ interests' along with risks like the '
proliferation of weapons of mass destruction,'"
reported CNS News.
Ms. Hill, during a speech at the Georgetown University Law Center’s
discussion on national security and climate change, referring to the "
2015 National Security Strategy," of which Section II includes "Confront Climate Change," quoted from the report: “
climate
change is an urgent and growing threat contributing to increased
natural disasters, refugee flows and conflicts over basic resources like
food and water.”
She then rambled on...
April 2014 –– Kerry's climate change hysteria explodes: must act big and now –– life, as we know it is over –– and non-action is catastrophic
In April 2014, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) "published another
vast pile of material, this time focused on "impacts, adaptation and
vulnerability,"
noted NorthJersey.com. Kerry's response to the report, as expected, was filled with horror, urgency and doom and gloom.
"Read this report and you can’t deny the
reality. Unless we act dramatically and quickly, science tells us our
climate and our way of life are literally in jeopardy. Denial of the
science is malpractice. ... The costs of inaction are catastrophic."
The author of the article, Clive Crook, whom writes for Bloomberg News,
goes on to dispute some of Kerry's outrageous claims (fear mongering):
The new report doesn’t say any of that. The science doesn’t predict a
catastrophe that would threaten the American way of life. The most
cost-effective responses to the risks of climate change are measured and
gradual, not dramatic and quick
Still,
others look at this report (the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report) and proclaim, "The science of climate change is not settled..."
September 21, 2014 –– Kerry: "Climate change as urgent as ISIS, Ebola" –– and we must care for the climate refugees
Secretary of State Kerry, during a meeting with foreign ministers on
September 21, 2014, gave one of his most creepy pleas when he
warned, "
climate change is as urgent as ISIS and Ebola."
Maybe that's why ISIS is still
thriving and the horrific
bloodshed rages on, while the Ebola virus
arrived in the United States on September 20, 2014, and,
though waning, is still not
under control in other parts of the world.
Extremely disturbing are not just the words of Kerry, but the timing, which was at the height of the Ebola epidemic that
ravaged West Africa,
mercilessly killing over 10,096 so far.
These statements were also delivered at the time that ISIS
had already "thrived
and mutated during the civil war in Syria. It swept into Iraq in June,
seizing large swaths of the country's Sunni-dominated northern and
western provinces."
And, this was shortly after the beheading of two American journalists:
James Foley (August 19, 2014), and
Steven Sotloff (September 13, 2014). Not to mention,
David Haines, who was a British aid worker, and
Herve Goudel, a mountaineering guide, as well as the 29-year-old Lebanese soldier named
Ali al-Sayyed and Lebanese Army soldier
Abbas Medlej –– all
brutally beheaded by ISIS either
in August or September of 2014, which was the same time-frame that
Kerry associated these evil terrorists with climate change –– and have
prior to, and since, committed unspeakable atrocities.
But it's even worse for Kerry because that pathetic comparison –– "
climate change is as urgent as ISIS and Ebola" –– came
a day after this happened: On September 20, 2014, "Militants aligned
with ISIS launched a brutal offensive in Afghanistan alongside Taliban
fighters that has left more than 100 people dead,"
reported NBC News.
Adding to the gory details, "Fifteen family members of local police
officers were beheaded and at least 60 homes were set ablaze..."
The Hill
documented Kerry's comments at that time, which also included a new species, "
global warming is creating climate refugees" –– whereas he stated, "has an
immediacy
that people need to come to understand, but it has even greater
longer-term consequences that can cost hundreds of billions, trillions
of dollars, lives, and the security of the world"
Kerry also made these statements two days ahead of a
United Nations (UN) climate summit in
New York (9/23/14) where the president "urged 125 heads of state to
take "ambitious" action in the fight against global warming" –– and the
same day of the
People’s Climate March, which
was held in New York City as well, and because it is extremely key to this story, I will address later.
For all the immediate challenges that we
gather to address this week -- terrorism, instability, inequality,
disease -- there’s one issue that will define the contours of this
century more dramatically than any other, and that is the urgent and
growing threat of a changing climate...
Speaking of the UN...
Last November, an independent panel of United Nations scientists released report
claiming another serious alarm:
"Irreversible climate change likely without swift action."
And, if you think that Obama's "transformation of America" is bad,
Christiana Figueres, the Executive Secretary of the United Nations
Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), wants world
domination. According to
Jeff Dunetz from Liberty Unyielding,
Ms.
Figueres admitted that the real reason for the climate hysteria is "to
transform the world economy, redistributing income from rich nations to
poorer ones."
October 9, 2014 –– Kerry: "Time is running out to address climate change"
According to the Hill, "Secretary of State John Kerry urged world
leaders Thursday [October 9, 2014] to address climate change, warning
that the window for action is closing."
Kerry, speaking after touring a wind energy technology center near
Boston, said climate change is already significantly altering the world,
The Associated Press reported.
Policies
that seek to reduce greenhouse gas emissions can also spur new
technology developments and jobs in renewable energy, he said.
He warned that failure to act could bring catastrophic changes and global conflict, according to the AP.
Kerry also warned that denying that climate change is happening would be disastrous.
Kerry toured the facility along with Philip Hammond, the United Kingdom’s secretary of state for foreign affairs.
Hammond largely repeated Kerry’s comments, saying that fighting climate change would mean global security in the long run.
Kerry and Hammond wrote an opinion piece Thursday in the Globe to tout the international and economic benefits of investment in low-carbon energy.
Kerry: "Life as you know it on Earth ends if climate skeptics are wrong"
At that same conference, Kerry spewed out my climate hysteria, of which the Boston Globe ran with this headline: "
John Kerry to Climate Doubters: Catastrophe Ahead."
According
to CNS News:
But, if skeptics are wrong and the temperature rises even seven degrees, life on Earth will end, Kerry claimed:
"What
happens if they're wrong? If they're wrong - catastrophe. Life as you
know it on Earth ends. Seven degrees increase Fahrenheit, and we can't
sustain crops, water, life under those circumstances."
October 16, 2014 –– Kerry: "Climate Change Causes Islamic Extremism"
"When Secretary of State John Kerry appeared at a reception at the State
Department in honor of the Islamic holiday of Eid al-Adha [on October
16, 2014], he thought it was important to
set the record straight by asserting that groups like ISIS aren’t really driven by Islam but by poverty, youthful populations, and climate change,"
wrote WizBang.blog.com.
In fact, Kerry's exact words went down like this:
“The extremism that we see, the radical exploitation of religion
which is translated into violence, has no basis in any of the real
religions,” Kerry claimed. “There’s nothing Islamic about what
ISIL/Daesh stands for or is doing to people.”
In fact, Kerry proclaimed
that ISIS is only rampaging across Syria and Iraq because they are
young people who are just jealous of what people have in The West.
“We’re
living at a point in time where there are just more young people
demanding what they see the rest of the world having than at any time in
modern history,” he lectured.
Kerry went on to say that the world needs to work together for the “sustainability of the planet itself,” bringing him to one of his favorite topics: climate change.
“And
that brings us to something like climate change, which is profoundly
having an impact in various parts of the world, where droughts are
occurring not at a 100-year level but at a 500-year level in places that
they haven’t occurred, floods of massive proportions, diminishment of
water for crops and agriculture at a time where we need to be talking
about sustainable food.”
Climate change, Kerry insisted, has brought “farmers” into “deadly conflict” in Africa.
“These are our challenges,” he said.
That's absolutely ludicrous!
Al Gore & John Doerr's Climate Hysteria: “Planetary emergency, & I’m really scared”
Meanwhile, one of the most notorious names associated with this
movement, the former Vice President Al Gore made his way into the
climate cult (or did he start one) sometime in the late 1960's.
According to Weather Channel founder,
John Coleman: "A great scientist named Roger Revelle had Al Gore in his class at Harvard and the Global Warming campaign was born."
Most are aware of Al Gore's climate hysteria –– even his 2006 feature length film entitled "
An Inconvenient Truth," which is Gore's "fervent crusade to halt global warming's deadly progress.."
The film's website also cites President Obama's inauguration and February 12, 2013 State of the Union, where he "told
the nation that he's committed to leading the way in the climate fight
-- he even cast fighting climate disruption as a moral obligation."
It also teaches about "
denial," comparing it to racism and sexuality: "
You
don’t let ignorant comments about race or sexuality go unanswered.
Don't let comments like “climate change isn’t real” go unchallenged
either."
This is beyond imaginable: Now within the climate change debate, shame
is not enough, they are now urging their followers (cult members) to
brutally demonize deniers, because it's the same as racism and more...
Oh please.
I'll spare you Gore's earth-shattering drama that dates as far back as
the late 1960's, but the above video by Coleman, whom last year took to
CNN to
demolish global warming, entitled, "
How the Global Warming Scare Began," features Mr. Gore is worth a look.
Fast forward to this decade: According
to the Washington Post,
"Just before leaving public office in 2001, Gore reported assets of
less than $2 million; today [October 12, 2012], his wealth is estimated
at $100 million." However, Gore's estimated net worth has topped
$300 million –– even as he's positioned himself to becoming
the first "Carbon billionaire" on the planet.
Still, just a week ago (3/17/15), headlines hit that Al Gore has lost his mind, because he
called for
"punishing climate change deniers."
"For the third time in the last few years,
Al Gore, founder and chairman of the
Climate Reality Project,
spoke at the festival the South by South West (SXSW) technology and
innovation festival in Texas." During this event, Gore called for "a
grassroots movement to tackle climate change and call out climate change
deniers,"
EcoWatch reported.
Gore also "focused on the need to
punish climate-change deniers, saying politicians should pay a price for rejecting ‘accepted science,'" which was reported by the
Chicago Tribune.
Breitbart News
expanded upon Gore's insanity.
“We have this denial industry cranked up constantly,”
Gore said. “In addition to 99 percent of the scientists and all the
professional scientific organizations, now Mother Nature is weighing
in.”
He also used his speech to insist that extreme weather events could only be due to climate change, and sought to pin the rise of ISIS in the Middle East on global warming.
Craziness, yes, but I thinks it is more calculating, because it fits the
White House fear-mongering and demonetization strategy. But didn't
Kerry, five days before (March 12), say it was 97%?
At any rate, most also know the Gore has a lot of ardent global warming
defenders and acolytes, of which many have had
significant (climate and otherwise) positions inside the Obama White House, but did you know that Gore is also a "mentor?"
Yep, more specifically Gore converted his climate buddy billionaire John
Doerr. Remember Doerr from earlier in exposing Senator John Kerry
"timely" green investments into the Big VC firm Kleiner Perkins, where
Gore and Doerr are partners?
As a reminder, in January 2013, I
completed an analysis of their
Greentech Portfolio,
where I found that over 50 percent were winners (36 of the 66 listed at
that time) –– a tally calculated that at that time they had raked in at
least $1 billion in green-government subsidies, the majority coming
from President Obama's 2009-stimulus spending spree.
However, that figure didn't calculate Silver Spring Networks and OPower
(both Kleiner Perkins investments) that are tied to at least $1.3
billion of the Recovery Act Smart-Grid Grants. Then if you factor in
Kleiner Perkins "green" collaboration with Gore's London based
Generation Investment Management (GIM), this figure goes up
significantly, connecting them to at least $10 billion of Obama's
taxpayer funded green-energy spending spree (both stimulus and
non-stimulus).
I recently discovered
a piece by the
Washington Post dated back from October 2012, highlighting Gore's "green":
Before a rapt audience, Al Gore flashed slides on a giant screen bearing the logos of 11 clean energy companies he predicted could help slow climate change.
“We can’t wait. . . . We have a planetary emergency,”
the former vice president told industry leaders and scientists at the
2008 conference. “Here are just a few of the investments that I
personally think make sense.”
Yep, more fear mongering, but also more green government cash.
The Post, also reported on the fact that in 2008, "his portfolio aligned
smoothly with the agenda of an incoming administration and its plan to
spend billions in stimulus funds on alternative energy," releasing their
list of his winners: "Fourteen green-tech firms in which Gore invested
received or directly benefited from more than $2.5 billion in loans,
grants and tax breaks."
While The Post's list, which had some inaccurate figures, is very
familiar, there are six that I didn't know were Gore investments, of
which I'll take a moment to elaborate. One was the fact that "GIM had
invested modest amounts in
Iberdrola Renovables in early 2008 but began dramatically increasing its holdings in early 2009, eventually owning 4.2 million shares."
It turns out that "Iberdrola Renovables, a wind subsidiary largely owned
by the Spanish electricity giant Iberdrola, received $1.5 billion for
20 wind farms it built across the United States."
However, back in January 2013, when the Energy and Commerce Committee
released an “in-depth
report on its ongoing investigation into the implementation of
President Obama’s green energy stimulus spending,” they exposed a
shocking detail: “foreign corporations have received approximately
one-quarter of $16 billion [now over $23 billion] spent on 'Section
1603' renewable energy stimulus program.”
And guess who was number one?
At that time, Iberdrola Renewables, LLC, U.S. division of Parent
Company, Iberdrola, S.A., “Spain’s number one energy group” snagged
$1,769,610,214 in Section 1603 Stimulus Grants.
"GIM also invested in Johnson Controls, a long-established Milwaukee
company that in August 2009 won" the largest award of $299 million as
part the "Electric Drive Battery and Component Manufacturing
Initiative," which was the
$2.4 billion stimulus effort to jump-start the electric car industry.
Even as Gore's most well-known failure,
Fisker Automotive,
which snagged a $529 million DOE loan in April 2010, most are unaware
that Johnson Controls has been in trouble as well. Both of these can be
found
in my last post,
"Obama Administration Fueling Friends and Failure: At least $10 billion
of taxpayer money blown on ‘green’ cars, NOT so ‘green.'"
Still, if we recalculate (adding the
four I
missed from my 2013 research and fix the other numbers), that $10
billion figure goes up once again: Gore and Doerr, via Kleiner Perkins
and GIM scored over $11B –– and that's two-year old data.
- AltraFuel: $20.5 million
- Ausra: $13.9 million
- Global Electronic Motorcars: unknown
- Tigo Energy: $3 million
But let's take a moment to go back to the past...
In 2004 Gore started
GIM, a
“green” and “global warming” investment company, with CEO of Goldman
Sachs Asset Management David Blood. At that time, GIM partners included
two other Goldman bigwigs, Mark Ferguson and Peter Harris, with
speculation that Treasury Secretary and former Goldman Sachs CEO Hank
Paulson is involved somehow, yet have been unable to confirm.
Did you know that Gore and Doerr’s –– the “climate duo,” whose combined “carbon footprint” is larger than my entire city ––
friendship dates as far back as the 90’s?
Yep, while Doerr is a key player inside President Obama's green energy scam, since being
converted to “global
warming” by Gore in 2005, Doerr has become a “green evangelist,” and,
in 2007, graced the world with this climate crisis
message: “
I’m really scared, I don’t think we’re gonna make it.”
At the same time though, Doerr has been known
to promote energy as “
the mother of all markets” –– $6 trillion a year worldwide ––
and Greentech as “the largest economic opportunity of the 21st century.”
In a 2008
Fortune exclusive featuring Gore, Doerr, and Blood that was written by
Marc Gunther and
Adam Lashinsky,
we find some interesting insights from the piece entitled, "Al Gore's
next act: Planet-saving VC...The recovering politician is teaming with a
legendary venture capitalist and big-time moneyman to make over the $6
trillion global energy business."
At that time, the three Global Warming Crusaders shared their vision:
In the long term, though, they want to help drive something much
larger, "bigger than the Industrial Revolution and significantly
faster," as Gore puts it.
They argue that to halt global warming, nothing less will be required
than a makeover of the $6 trillion global energy business. Coal plants,
gas stations, the internal-combustion engine, petrochemicals, plastic
bags, even bottled water will have to give way to clean, green,
sustainable technologies. "What we are going to have to put in place is a combination of the Manhattan Project, the Apollo project, and the Marshall Plan, and scale it globally," Gore continued during that interview.
Oh my...
The Earth's ECO-Hypocrites & ECO-Radicals

9/21/14 NYC People's Climate March
photo from PJMedia
|
But what's really SCARY is this: The people at the People's Climate March (mentioned much earlier in this post), which
took place in New York City on September 21, 2014, with Hollywood a-Lister's such as Leonardo DiCaprio and Mark Ruffalo, who joined the "
flood of green protesters" –– Earth People ––
trashed the place.
Nevertheless, in covering this ceremony, Hot Air
noted the following:
Those in politics who spend much of their time railing about the
dangers associated with anthropogenic climate change will often assert
that the public largely shares their concerns about catastrophic climate
shifts. You rarely hear from those oft-cited members of the public who
are supposedly alarmed by climate change alarmism.
Sure enough; the powerful progressive group via Think Progress,
heralded this climate activism as a "people's phenomenon."
Needless to say, even as trash and hypocrisy were stars of the show,
ignorance and confusion played best supporting roles. Reason Magazine’s
Kmele Foster ––
"armed with a camera and a microphone"
–– was at the People's Climate March, which according to Hot Air, "more
resembled a throwback anti-capitalism protest than it did a climate
rally."
Woodstock 2?
However, in reviewing Reason's video footage, it seems that those
interviewed didn't even know why or what they were protesting. Still
others were clear on their
motives, yet they weren't there to protect the Earth or even to promote "world peace."
The demonstration also showed its true Marxist, Communists, anti-American colors...
There were even some participants in the NYC Climate March that "
bowed to the god of Global Warming."
Makes sense if you do
some digging,
because you'll discover that "the March has over 1,400 collaborating
groups – labor unions, religious groups, green groups, social justice
groups, and businesses, a number of them recipients of federal grants."
Worse is that this NYC Climate March may be only the beginning of something much darker. According
to the
Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT), "The Mobilization is an
altogether different thing: “A mass social movement to disrupt the
status quo.”
Adding to the insanity, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. –– another liberal who
refuses to change his Eco-Lifestyle, but is "one of climate change’s
loudest activists" –– was at the People’s Climate March. It turns out
that he was recorded in an interview with
Climate Depot, in which his Eco-Fascist mentality was on full display.
The
Washington Examiner reported Kennedy's words: "
there should be a law that lets authorities punish skeptics and deniers –– those who engage in “selling out the public trust..."
In
that same interview, Kennedy also took the opportunity to demonize the
Koch Brothers, accusing them of “polluting our atmosphere," which,
again, was found at the Washington Examiner:
“I think it’s treason. Do I think the Koch Brothers are treasonous — yes, I do,” Mr. Kennedy said, Climate Depot
reported. “They are enjoying making themselves billionaire by
impoverishing the rest of us. Do I think they should be in jail — I
think they should be injuring three hots and a cot at the Hague with all
the other war criminals. Do I think the Koch brothers should be tried
for reckless endangerment? Absolutely, that is is criminal offense and
they ought to be serving time for it.”
Here's some irony for you...
Known as “Bobby K" in internal Energy Department emails, Mr. Kennedy has more than Eco-Radical comments at stake. Kennedy, a
partner and Senior Adviser
at Vantage Point Capital Partners, was directly implicated in the
Bright Source Energy $1.6 Billion shady DOE deal via emails as well as
his Big VC Firm.
Considering that there were a multitude of President Obama's and Senator
Harry Reid's pals involved in that deal, this story has been shared
many times –– and most recently in my November 2013 Green Corruption
File when I
unearthed Reid’s $3 billion clean-energy dirt.
More details can be found in my
November 2014 post
entitled, "Not Enough Sun Shining at California Ivanpah Solar Plant:
$1.6 billion shady stimulus deal tied to numerous wealthy Obama cronies
now expect $539 million of free taxpayer cash."
Still,
as of September 2013, Kennedy's
VantagePoint portfolio
had at least nine clean-energy firms/projects, which included three DOE
loans, that came out winners in the 2009 "green" stimulus spending
spree, totaling, at that time, about $3 billion.
The other irony is this, which was
written in 2011: "Over the past eight years Robert F Kennedy, Jr. has been attacking the Cape Wind project (he even
openly labeled it a "rip-off"), while also calling for the greater use of wind and solar power as alternatives to coal."
Does that mean wind energy is OK as long as it's not in "Bobby K's" backyard?
What's interesting too is that last summer the Cape Wind project
snagged a $150 million Energy Department loan and
is endorsed by his nephew Joseph Kennedy III. Yet, this
$2.5 billion project, which was set to become the nation’s first offshore wind farm, as of late deal, is on the rocks.
In the meantime, no climate event would be complete without the regular ECO- Hypocrites. It turns out that Breitbart News
spotted
the following: "Former Vice President Al Gore made his exit from [the]
climate change march in a Chevrolet Suburban SUV after speaking to
reporters about renewable energy."
Reported to be in
attendance (maybe he was picking up the garbage) was a key
environmental hero,
whom proclaimed that this event was proof that climate change is "a
first-tier political issue." This was California liberal billionaire Tom
Steyer that was the featured in two of my Green Corruption Files during
the 2014 midterms:
More on Reid and Steyer later, but let's see what Hillary is up to.
|
|
Minority Leader Harry Reid with former Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton at the 2014 National Clean Energy Summit 7.0 |
Hillary Clinton: "Tackling climate change is like my weight-loss struggle"
Meanwhile, in 2009, when Hillary Clinton served as the U.S. Secretary of State,
she compared the challenge of fighting climate change to her own struggle to lose weight.
"Often times when you face such an
overwhelming challenge as global climate change, it can be somewhat
daunting - it's kind of like trying to lose weight, which I know
something about," she said to laughter.
"You think, oh I only have to lose X numbers of pounds but it seems like such a far away goal," she added.
Oh, oh Hillary,
how about all that yoga?
That same year, Clinton,
when visiting India as
Secretary of State, urged "the country not to repeat American mistakes
in contributing to global pollution" –– and called them to tackle
climate change.
Fast forward to May 2014: Mrs. Clinton, the presumptive 2016 Democrat presidential candidate
now immersed
in EmailGate/ServerGate, at a Clinton Global Initiative University
panel, inferred that young people are much more committed to doing
something to address climate change.
According the Huffington Post,
she also "called for a mass movement" on the issue.
But it was in September 2014, when Hillary Clinton
spoke at Senator Harry Reid’s National Clean Energy Summit in Las Vegas, she let loose some serious world-wide panic,
claiming, "
climate change is the most consequential, urgent, sweeping collection of challenges we face as a nation and a world.”
During that speech, Clinton also "blasted climate change deniers,"
cheered the left-wing site Salon.com –– even as the Huffington Post
expanded on Hillary's bashing:
“Aside from the deniers and the special interests and all the other
folks who want to pretend we don’t have a crisis is the fact that we are
leaving money and jobs behind,” she said. “For those on the other side,
they have to answer to the reality that they are denying people jobs
and middle-class incomes and upward mobility by their refusal to look to
the future.”
"The
data is unforgiving. No matter what the deniers try to assert. Sea
levels are rising. Ice caps are melting. Storms, droughts and wildfires
are wreaking havoc," she noted.
"I think that the hardest part for me of this whole false
choice debate that has been going on way too long, is that aside from
the deniers and the special interests and all the other folks who want
to pretend that we don't have a crisis, is the fact that we are leaving
money and jobs behind," Clinton told [John] Podesta.
Center for American Progress: "Man-made global warming is the cause of EVERYTHING horrific!"
Besides the fact that Hillary's claims on the sea levels rising, ice caps melting, storms,
droughts,
and all the rest of her climate change hype can be disputed, it will be
interesting to see how much climate change will be part of her 2016
platform.
But what's important to point out is that it is the left-wing special
interest groups, such as the Clinton's pal John Podesta –– the George
Soros-funded Center for American Progress (CAP) –– that are making out
like bandits.
While I detailed Soros major role inside this green energy scam in 2013 (
"Left-wing Billionaire George Soros: Obama’s 'Agent of Green'"),
you can find more about John Podesta, the former chief of staff to
President Bill Clinton, in my March 2014 Green Corruption File
entitled, "Podesta Power and Center for American Progress: The dark, driving force behind the president’s massive green energy scheme."
Roles that range from legitimate to shady lobbying practices, to the
fact that numerous CAP "fellows" were at the helm of the green energy
deal making, holding key positions inside the Obama White House, his
Green Team, and his Energy Department.
Not to mention that CAP's alternative energy advocacy as well as its
funders –– corporate donors that were kept secret until their release in
late 2013 –– with those in the renewable energy business (at least 17)
that cashed in at the Green Bank of Obama.
CAP, the progressive think tank with
deep rooted ties to the Clintons,
characterizes itself
as "an independent nonpartisan educational institute dedicated to
improving the lives of Americans through progressive ideas and action,"
but
according to the
Huffington Post, they've "been a vocal voice for this president's
policies in the media and on the Hill. But their area of highest
visibility is advocacy for a clean-energy economy where John Podesta has
personally led the effort."
Still, last I checked, CAP, which has 180 staffers and a $27 million
budget, devotes as much as half of its resources to promoting its
progressive movement through
its site and blog
Think Progress –– both of which are also in the
business of
climate change pimping. This ranges from crafting White House climate change policy as well as determining green energy spending.
In fact,
according to the Washington Free Beacon, in September 2008, CAP "authored a
report titled
“Green Recovery: A Program to Create Good Jobs and Start Building a
Low-Carbon Economy” that included many recommendations ultimately
incorporated into President Obama’s controversial $800 billion stimulus
package." Yet, some place the stimulus at a trillion dollars, with $100
billion earmarked for renewable energy.
Since the president released his
Climate Action Plan in June 2013, CAP not only
called for the government to mobilize billions more toward clean energy, but continued to
pressure for additional action, including, but not limited to,
rejecting the Keystone XL pipeline –– a controversial legislation that was passed by the
House and
Senate this past February, only to set the stage for an Obama veto, of which, this month,
fell short of a senate override.
CAP's
latest horror is this:
"Human-Caused Warming Helped Trigger Current Syrian Conflict And Rise Of ISIS."
But this climate change "terror" is not new: It has been echoed by many
climate change fear mongers, such as the Daily Ko that on March 4, 2015,
ran with
this headline: "
ISIS may have roots in climate change." And who could forget Secretary of State Kerry, mentioned earlier, whom in September 2014,
warned,"
Climate change is as urgent as ISIS and Ebola."
Ironically, CAP recently
claimed that "Climate
change is altering everything about the way water is provided in Salt
Lake City" (not enough snow) –– even as their mega-rich pals, late last
year, screamed that there was
not enough sun shining in California, which impacted their massive Ivanpah Solar Plant, costing U.S. taxpayer $1.6 billion so far.
Yep, the world's largest solar plant, which is tied to numerous wealthy
Obama cronies (BrightSource Energy, Google, VantagePoint Capital
Partners, PG&E, McBee Strategic Consulting, and NRG Energy), had
applied for a federal grant to pay off their shady federal stimulus
loan.
So whether there is not enough snow or sun, which changes from season to season, it still all adds up to global warming.
Since Podesta most likely will be heading Mrs. Clinton's 2016 presidential bid, the following are some key points to remember.
Most know that in 2003, John Podesta founded CAP, which is an
organization funded by the liberal billionaire George Soros, who has a
massive footprint inside this green corruption scam. He then served as the organization's president and CEO, of which it was
reported, "Podesta was hand-picked for the job by CAP co-founders Soros and Morton H. Halperin."
In 2008 and early 2009, Podesta, an Obama bundler, while still at CAP,
ran Obama’s transition team as the co-chair
along side Valerie Jarrett and
Peter Rouse –– a team that enjoyed a squadron of CAP experts, and also they were “reportedly
highly influential in helping to craft White House Policy," including the "green."
And, if you go back to right after the Republican 2010-midterm
victory, Podesta already had a plan: "The president should bypass
Congress and wield the executive powers of his office,"
reported Bloomberg in December 2013.
In fact, "Podesta had compiled 47 pages of proposals for unilateral
action on issues from immigration to solar energy." Podesta even
wrote the foreword for that
CAP report
"on how the president could use his executive authority to advance a
progressive agenda, including actions to unilaterally force the U.S.
economy to become greener."
Meanwhile, by 2011, Podesta stepped down from his CEO role and
became the Chair
of CAP and the CAP Action Fund –– only to leave the left-wing think
tank and join the White House at the end of 2013 in his new role as
Obama's "
executive power czar" –– until he left that position this past February.
Throw in John's brother, Tony Podesta –– dubbed "The Lobbyist" by
Newsweek, and the founder and Chairman at the Podesta Group, which was
started by both Podesta brothers in 1987. Even though
news hit in
early 2013, that Heather and Tony Podesta (the married super lobbyists)
had separated, they are both (via different firms) tied to numerous
Obama-backed clean-energy deals.
Liberal Billionaire Tom Steyer: The Dems' "cash for climate change"
On the other hand is
CAP board member and donor, Obama bundler and California liberal billionaire, Tom Steyer, whom is the latest
wealthy political powerhouse that has emerged as an environmental hero and major source of cash for Democrats.
Considering that Steyer spent mega-bucks to deter the 2014 midterms,
supporting Democrats that were pushing his climate change agenda, I
devoted two posts to the ECO-Billionaire:
"Dem's Cash for Climate Change" and its sequel.
First off; even though Steyer made a fortune in oil and coal, he's
aligned himself with the president's "war on coal." As John Hinderaker
at Power Line appropriately
puts it:
"Tom Steyer was for coal before he was against it."
Furthermore, Steyer, like CAP, is a big benefactor of President Obama's
climate change rules as well as his green government subsidies. Also
like CAP, his ECO-Super PAC
Next Generation is pimping the climate change crusade –– and is one to continue to watch in 2016.
But the Eco-Rich have been in high gear for some time. In June 2014, the
former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, former Treasury Secretary Hank
Paulson, and Thomas Steyer, released a 56-page report entitled “
Risky Business,”
which warned that the planet is doomed in 15 years.
However, Dan Kish, senior vice president for policy at the Institute for Energy Research (
IER),
asserts that this report "is just another attempt by economic and
political elites to impose a carbon tax on Americans." It turns out that
Kish also
told CNSNews.com:
“They [these three billionaires] want taxes and more control in
Washington, and they aren’t going to let the facts get in their way...”
It seems, too, that Steyer is another ECO-Hypocrite, because in October
2014, "Just minutes after extolling the virtues of green living to
thousands gathered in the Super dome in New Orleans [2014 Greenbuild
conference], climate change pals Tom Steyer and Maryland Gov. Martin
O’Malley [another Democrat potential presidential candidate for 2016]
left the confab in the least environmentally friendly vehicle possible —
a Chevrolet Suburban." This was all caught on tape
and reported by Watchdog.org.

Senator Harry Reid: "Koch's are main causes of climate change"
At the end of they day, it is Senator Harry Reid that wins the climate change fear mongering award –– at least for 2014.
First we should connect some dots: Tom Steyer
, who "
bought Harry Reid" in 2014, has
emerged as "the face of the liberal equivalent of the Koch Brothers.
The irony (hypocrisy) is that both Reid and Steyer, long ago, declared
"jihad" against the wealthy libertarian brothers Charles and David Koch,
who fund a number of conservative and libertarian political causes.
Steyer was the 2014 "
midterm election bogeyman," whom, using a $100 million bounty and his ECO-Super PAC,
raged war against so-called
GOP climate change deniers as well as any Republicans he deemed harmful
to the environment and those in support of the Keystone XL Pipeline.
At that time, liberal BILLIONAIRE Steyer's climate machine's choice of
weaponry was this: bomb the airways with ads attacking GOP
candidates... wait for it...
associated with BILLIONAIRES.
Even as NextGen's "hit list" included any GOP with ties to Big Oil ––
what Steyer and his cohorts deem as "dirty money" –– the billionaires in
the cross hairs were none other than the Koch Brothers –– what NextGen
labels as "dark money." This despite the fact that Steyer gained much of
his wealth from dirty money, while the Democrat Party
loves dark money, of which
Steyer is a main culprit.
You can't make this stuff up...
Since January [2014], Reid has attacked the Koch brothers by name
more than 22 times on the floor of the Senate, derisively calling them,
“power-drunk billionaires,” among other things. Reid also claimed the
Kochs are “single-handily funding an attack on this nation’s middle
class.” For the Nevada senator, the Kochs are “un-American,” and a
“cult...”
In September 2014, Reid even
blasted the Koch Brothers in the realm of dark billionaire money:
We have had in this country a flood of very, very dark money coming
into this nation’s political system. Radical billionaires are attempting
to buy our democracy.
What makes Reid, Steyer, and other Democrats posturing against Big Money in politics so outrageous is that despite the Lefts'
outrage over the Supreme Court’s 2010
Citizens United as well as
their whining over money in politics, the Democrats are knee deep in
Dark Money –– especially inside the climate change/green energy scheme.
Moreover, the career politician from Nevada and the billionaire from California
are buddies, which adds more to the "green" hypocrisy. Both Reid and Steyer have been
fundraising pals and partners in
killing the Keystone pipeline for some time –– with Reid, as I have alluded to many times, carrying his share of clean-energy dirt: He's
directly linked to
five of those Energy Department "junk" green energy stimulus loans,
with at least two snagging hundreds of millions stimulus grants,
costing taxpayer over $3 billion.
Additionally, as the $1.6 billion massive project tied to Reid, which
was mentioned under Center for American Progress, screamed that there
was
not enough sun shining
in California, are are seeking more federal stimulus money to pay off
their federal stimulus loan, one of the other four Nevada green projects
tied to Reid is currently in the corruption hot seat. "Two former
employees of Ormat Technologies
filed a lawsuit in 2013 claiming the company lied to the Treasury Department in order to secure more than $130 million in federal grants,"
reported the Washington Free Beacon.
And, in bombshell story by Lachlan Markay of The Beacon –– "
Harry Reid Secured Subsidies for Aides’ Donors"
–– we find more green corruption, which mainly involves a green energy
nonprofit operated by the Senate Minority Leader called the Clean Energy
Project (CEP).
It turns out that the
National Clean Energy Summit where, last year, Hillary Clinton along with host John Podesta,
made the charge that
climate change is the most consequential, urgent, sweeping collection of challenges we face as a nation and a world,” is an annual conference cosponsored by Reid, CEP, CAP (since 2008), and two others.
This is "where environmentalists, politicians, and green energy
executives discuss the need for more government 'investment' in green
companies" –– which is code for more taxpayer spending in order to fuel
corporate welfare and crony capitalism.
The planet be damned!
Nevertheless, it is Reid's May 2014 statement that may be the most
comical of all. In his usual smear mode, when he took to the senate
floor once again, Reid
proclaimed that the Koch Brothers are the “main causes” of climate change.
Here's how it went down:
While the Koch brothers admit to not being
experts on the matter, these billionaire oil tycoons are certainly
experts at contributing to climate change. That’s what they do very
well. They are one of the main causes of this. Not a cause, one of the
main causes.
Even as CAP, Steyer, Reid, and their minions continue to move at rapid
speed, traveling in their private jets and gasoline guzzling cars in
order to save Earth from mankind (other than themselves), we can expect
Mrs. Clinton, especially with John Podesta in her camp, to emerge with
more climate messages –– just
as she did in December 2014, that
not only mirror her weight-loss battle, but worse President Obama's
climate policies, which are always accompanied by fear and trembling.
Climate Change is Racist?
Another interesting tidbit is that in November 2014 when the Obama
administration released their U.S. Climate Resilience Toolkit "to help
our communities respond to our changing climate," Mr.
Steyer endorsed it because the toolkit encourages Americans to think
and prepare locally, adding that "(e)very community and business faces
some risk of climate-related disruptions to their operations."
In fact, at a CAP 2014 "seminar," Steyer,
covered by CNS
News, while noting that the "the only way to make the climate issue
resonate with voters is to avoid "generalities" and speak on a
"hyper-local basis," he gave examples of climate change impacts, such as
the drought in California, salt water is running down the streets of
Miami Beach, as well as health issues like asthma.
Even the
Los Angeles Times had to admit in
late 2014 that "global warming cannot be definitively linked to the
California drought," but that doesn't stop the alarmists like Steyer.
Climate change, caused primarily by carbon pollution threatens the
health and well-being of Americans in many ways, from increasing the
risk of asthma attacks and other respiratory illnesses to changing the
spread of certain vector-borne diseases. Some of these health impacts
are already underway in the United States and climate change will,
absent other changes, amplify some of the existing health threats the
Nation now faces. Certain
people and communities are especially vulnerable to the health effects
of climate change, including children, the elderly, those with chronic
illnesses, the poor, and some communities of color. In the coming years, communities are expected to experience the following impacts in regions across the United States.
- Increasing Ground-Level Ozone
- Driving Up Particle Pollution
- Contributing to More Extreme-Heat Events
- Increasing Infectious Diseases
- Leading to Higher Pollen Concentrations
Bottom line: climate change causes asthma bronchitis, chest pain and
respiratory infections as well as diseases, including Lyme, dengue
fever, West Nile virus and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. But worse,
climate change is detrimental to children, the elderly, sick folks, the
poor –– and is racist because it "picks on the communities of color."
In closing...
Let me be clear, like
Charles Krauthammer,
"I’m not a global warming believer. I’m not a global warming denier."
I'm more in the camp of Dr. Patrick Moore, the co-founder of Greenpeace:
"
A Climate Change Skeptic" –– with a Bible-studying and believing Christian perspective.
Yes, we are "stewards" of this planet, and must do our human part in caring for it.
Furthermore, I'm in favor of clean energy, conservation, and all the
rest. I have utter contempt for those that litter and blatantly pollute
our Earth. But what's more offensive is not just the utter hypocrisy
from the Green Left and the hundred of billions of money stolen from
U.S. taxpayers to pay for this scheme, but how the "climate alarmist
establishment"
pollutes the hearts of minds of the masses.
Worth repeating is this: "Hope and change" is dead; but clime change
is still alive
–– and that should alarm all Americans because climate change is not
just a movement, it's a radical agenda that has nothing to do with
protecting the Earth, but aims to ultimately
usher in a very dark and destructive political system, leading its Earth People and those of us unwilling Americans into the abyss.
However, what's become abundantly clear is that Big Government, large
corporations, powerful left-wing organizations as well as the dark and
deceptive ECO-Groups (
Big Green,
labor, religious and social justice), along with the ECO-Radicals and
ignorant Americans pushing their "One World Utopia," are part of the
scam.
Since
late 2009,
I've been following the "green money," so while, like President Obama,
I'm not a climate scientist, I do know where the bodies are buried.
President Obama’s "
save the planet slush fund"
thus far has costs American taxpayers over $200 billion (and counting).
Money, by the way, that was doled out for green (clean, renewable,
alternative) energy, yet much is NOT clean or green, such as
electric cars and
wind energy –– with both wind and solar, amongst other horrors, are killing wildlife and murdering birds each year at a staggering rate.
Moreover, the recent claims made by the White House about "wind power are implausible and dangerous,"
reported Julian Morris over at RealClearMarkets.com.
Yet, this $200B figure doesn't calculate the green funds dished out of
other federal agencies like the EPA, the DoD, the USDA, the
Ex-Im Bank, and others. Additionally, it does not take into account the billions that the Obama administration has used on
other "global warming programs," nor the "
$7.45 billion spent in helping other countries deal with climate change."
And, how much has "climate change" cost American prosperity and freedom?
