The ‘Climate Crisis’ Was Never About ‘Saving The Planet’
Carbon dioxide is a dangerous pollutant, the Environmental Protection Agency says
It’s been drilled into us for more than 30 years that we have to cut our CO2 emissions if we don’t want the world to end soon.
But we know that the climate scare is in no way related to protecting the planet. The data clearly tells us so.
Over the last three calendar years, 2021, 2022, and 2023, “no country has reduced its carbon emissions more than any other major nation on a per capita basis,” the Committee to Unleash Prosperity tells us.
“Even though our GDP is about 50 percent higher than China’s, our per capita emissions are roughly the same,” says the group.
The data also tell us that though China’s emissions grow every year, “ours have come down every year over the last decade.”
Yet the U.S. is continually singled out as the worst ‘greenhouse gas’ offender, while China – and India – escape the wrath of the klimate kooks, from Greta Thunberg to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to actor Leonardo DiCaprio, who actually “praised China’s efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.”
The CTUP chart above shows a sharp decrease in U.S. emissions and a modest drop in European Union emissions. But look at the increases in India, Southeast Asia, and China, particularly the latter.
Can anyone remember when climate alarmists traveled to Beijing, Mumbai, or Jakarta to publicly chastise the nations these capitals represent for their emissions? When was the last time a U.S. lawmaker demanded that these countries cut their ‘fossil fuel’ use?
If our “leaders” were being honest, then we wouldn’t have an entirely mad administration demanding that we cut “greenhouse gas emissions 50-52 percent below 2005 levels in 2030,” reach “100 percent carbon pollution-free electricity by 2035” and achieve “a net-zero emissions economy by 2050.”
Nor would our elites have feted Thunberg and treated her as an authority who must be revered while she ranted and scolded and screeched.
Pope Francis would not have admonished America for its “irresponsible” Western lifestyle and Bill Nye, no science guy but an engineer and an actor, would have never said that voting (he means for U.S. Democrats) is the best option “if you want to do one thing about climate change.”
Then there are the cranks at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, who insist that “observed and anticipated increases in greenhouse gas emissions from China and other countries don’t let Americans off the hook for reducing emissions.”
And never forget that Al Gore has made a post-vice presidential career out of blaming the U.S. for what believes is a disaster in the making.
If the climatistas were truly concerned with the planet, they would nag the countries that are increasing emissions. But those aren’t developed Western nations, so they get a pass.
This gives the game away. Climate hysteria is not about stopping some imagined warming.
The issue, as we’re reminded, is always about the revolution with these people. The goal is to punish the West for daring to ride capitalism to a prosperous existence.
It’s about choking capitalism, punishing wealthy societies, and establishing a socialist-collectivist governance model, where every aspect of our lives is tightly controlled.

The only thing the planet needs saving from is retarded humanity.

Certain people are desperate to keep the “carbon dioxide as a climate driver” scam alive. That could be to keep trillions of taxpayer dollars flowing to. It also could be because scrutiny over the way those funds have been used will uncover some very serious crimes.
Somebody is looting the treasury of the USA in broad daylight, and this will not end well for anyone.

The EPA is a gaggle of overpaid dimwits. CO2 is not now nor ever has been a climate driver. Idiots and morons. 400 ppm just about not enough.

Hi VO,
“400ppm just about not enough.”
If commercial green-houses may have an answer to your suggestion, yes, about 3x of current level is a reasonable measure, that is, with today’s crops. Furthermore, there may be more CO2 hungry ultra-productive sub-species of current crops to further benefit from the extra dose of that life-giving substance.
As for the EPA and the Canadian Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (I kid you not) — telling nothing but lies has always been well paid!
Cheers, JaKo

Hi JsKo,
Basedupon your comment I have to assume you know little about farming.
Have a good day

This was already admitted by Strong when he detailed how Pierre Trudeau attended a study at MIT in the 50s where they decided on the platforms they would use to accomplish their slave agenda all these decades layer.
They decided that pollution, famine and climate change would be the reasons to blame humanity. It’s social justice, there doesn’t have to be any wrongdoing, just the blame. Therefore, all sorts of restrictions, losses of freedoms and justifications for idiotic political decisions abound.
The script is much older than the 50s (Sumeria at least), and it’s rinse and repeat through history. Even Egypt had a ‘social justice’ goddess.
Anyone a bit older can look back and see how WEF young global leader Bono was used to push the agenda. It isn’t that hard to see.
