Global warming, climate change, all these things are just a dream come true for politicians. I deal with evidence and not with frightening computer models because the seeker after truth does not put his faith in any consensus. The road to the truth is long and hard, but this is the road we must follow. People who describe the unprecedented comfort and ease of modern life as a climate disaster, in my opinion have no idea what a real problem is.
Trees, Clouds, and the Unsettling Truth about Climate Science
In a recent revelation from the international CLOUD project at the nuclear research center CERN, researchers have identified sesquiterpenes—gaseous hydrocarbons released by plants—as a pivotal factor in cloud formation. This study, published in the journal Science Advances, might just be the wrench in the works for those who have long touted the notion of “settled” climate science.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has been confidently projecting that the global climate will warm by 1.5 to 4.4 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels by 2100. Yet, these projections are riddled with uncertainties. For instance, in a worst-case scenario, the temperature could swing anywhere between 3.3 to 5.7 degrees Celsius. Such a vast range hardly inspires confidence.
The root of these uncertainties? A glaring lack of understanding of the intricate processes occurring in our atmosphere. The CLOUD project, in its quest to demystify these processes, has been delving deep into the enigma of cloud formation.
Clouds, as it turns out, are not just fluffy white entities in the sky. Their formation and behavior have profound implications for the planet’s temperature. While it’s known that clouds reflect solar radiation, cooling the earth’s surface, the exact mechanics of their formation remain elusive.
Aerosols, both natural and man-made, provide the condensation nuclei essential for cloud formation. However, a significant portion of these nuclei form in the air when gaseous molecules combine, turning into solids—a process known as “nucleation” or “new particle formation” (NPF).
While the role of anthropogenic gases like sulfur dioxide is somewhat-documented, the study has shed light on the underestimated influence of natural gases like sesquiterpenes. Despite being less prevalent than other substances, sesquiterpenes have a disproportionately large impact on cloud formation. In fact, they form ten times more particles than other organic substances at equivalent concentrations.
This study’s findings underscore the need to reconsider the role of sesquiterpenes in climate models, potentially rendering many existing models obsolete.
Conclusion:
For those who’ve been echoing the mantra that climate science is “settled” and beyond dispute, this study serves as a stark reminder of the complexities and unknowns still at play. It’s high time to question the wisdom of pouring vast sums of money into policies based on potentially flawed models. The discovery of sesquiterpenes’ role in cloud formation is a testament to the ever-evolving nature of climate science—a field that is far from settled.
Unusually aggressive cancers in children and people in their 20s and s 30s…possible damaged immune system cancer surveillance…
Truly, I’m really glad I stood my ground and resisted getting sucked into taking what we today know was a risky, untested, slipshod experimental medicine.
Definitely worth watching
The following High Wire video interview hosted by Del Bigtree has oncologist and cancer researcher, Dr William Makis as a and where he sounds the alarm on the sudden rise in “turbo cancers”, where a wave of incredibly fast growing cancers allegedly is currently spreading among COVID vaccinated individuals.
Then problem appears to stem from the spike protein, which your cells are instructed to produce by the mRNA vaccine. It seems that no one knows how long these toxic spikes remain in your body and that it is in some cases profoundly disrupting the body’s natural immune system, with fatal consequences.
Since the rollout, young people are dying “suddenly and unexpectedly”, some of heart failure and others of “turbo cancer”. And every booster seems to be making it worse.
Please watch the entire video and share it. Let’s end the pandemic of vaccine adverse effects denial.
It started a month ago, when a group of climate activists invited kids to deceive climate skeptic family members into downloading malware disguised as a cookie recipe.
Climate Skepticism Is Increasing – What If We Could Hack Our Way Out Of That?
Two terrible things have happened: the world has entered the ‘global boiling’ phase of climate emergency; and climate skepticism has increased in the past four years, worldwide. Australia is the sixth most skeptical country in the world (following Saudi Arabia, Norway, Russia, USA and the United Arab Emirates). When I tell you I was shocked to read those stats… in the passionate, optimistic bubble that is the Zee Feed audience, it can feel easy to ignore the climate deniers, delay-ers or skeptics as a vocal minority. Trouble is, that cohort of voices, the way they are supported by media and the mechanics of social algorithms are big reasons why policy progress is so. damn. slow.
Even though you probably know a skeptic, having a direct conversation with them is not that simple. Only 31% of young Australians (10-24) feel their parents are consistently listening to their concerns on the topic.
…
Climate skeptics are victims of a misinformation echo chamber. NewsJacker is an attempt to hack them out of it, without them even noticing!
NewsJacker is a cheeky website which covertly increases your climate skeptic’s exposure to more factually accurate news. On the surface, it will look like you’re simply sharing an online recipe for easy homemade cookies. But when they visit the link, specially designed technology built into the site updates their online cookies… now telling The Internet that they are seriously pro-climate action. Because of this, as they browse they will see more search results for accurate climate change stories and be targeted by more pro-climate ads and content.
If you think it’s a clever idea to send out a malware bot as a major recruitment campaign and still barely manage to suck in more than a couple of thousand confused Boomers, you just might be a “youth climate activist”.
The “clever” online campaign was the brainchild of the “Australian Youth Climate Coalition” — who are about as youthful as a middle-aged porn actress putting her hair in pigtails and claiming to be a “teen”. Although at least the porn actress is making an honest living.
…
Like all criminals, the climate con artists think their ends justify their dodgy means.
Grace Vegesana, AYCC’s director of climate & racial Justice, told The Australian that for young Australians, “climate change was the biggest fight of our lives – so we aren’t afraid to get creative in how we take action”.
“Ultimately, we’re taking action to create a fair and just world, with a stable climate and healthy environment for our communities and future generations – and don’t mind being a bit cheeky in the process,” she said.
The “youths” have apparently defended their actions, on the grounds that they are not attempting to harm the targets of their deception, but all the stories I found mentioning this are behind paywalls.
Doesn’t this kind of desperation just scream “loser”?
The climate panic is dying. The climate panic is no longer useful to scoundrels who use such public panics as props to decieve voters, so it is just not getting the attention it once did. These days the only people who take the climate panic seriously are people who already intended to vote for the scoundrels.
But for a handful of true believers, this general collapse in interest, even amongst politicians they once thought were reliable supporters, spells the literal end of the world. People just don’t care that everything is collapsing!
I guess we can all look forward to a few years of increasingly frantic activism like this attempt to spread malware, if not violence and outright terrorism, during the final death throes of the climate scare.
John Lewis has stopped offering insurance to electric car drivers amid fears over the cost of repairs.
The department store’s lending business John Lewis Financial Services has put a temporary pause on customers taking out cover or renewing existing policies on battery-power vehicles while its underwriter, Covéa, analyses risks and costs.
Insurers are facing rising costs for vehicle repairs, which are eating into profits. According to the Association of British Insurers (ABI), vehicle repair costs rose 33pc over the first quarter of 2023 compared to 2022, helping to push annual premiums to record highs.
Electric cars can be particularly expensive to repair, costing around a quarter more to fix on average, compared to a petrol or diesel vehicle, according to Thatcham Research, the motor industry’s research centre.
Particular worries surround the batteries, which are commonly mounted on the floor of the vehicle. This placement can make it more likely that it will be damaged even in a minor accident such as mounting a kerb.
According to Copart, an auction platform, around half the low-mileage electric vehicles it has salvaged have suffered minor battery damage.
The battery is also generally the most expensive part of an electric car and can account for as much as 50pc of the vehicle’s value, costing between £14,200 and £29,500.
“The actions of Alaska policy makers, led by the governor, are eradicating the free-market principles in our state. A media blackout on the problem has left only citizen-led initiatives driving the train to truth. We the People Alaska publishes an eye-opening substack on many of these topics.”
Alaska’s economy runs on oil and gas. Additionally, oil revenues have accounted for up to 90% of our General Fund revenue. Amid its resource abundance, however, Alaska has a big and growing governmental problem—mostly in Washington, D.C., and increasingly, in local governments trying to appease their federal masters.
Alaska has been in a production decline trend since 1988 when the state accounted for 25 percent of U.S. domestic production. Presently, the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS) is running at a quarter of its capacity (485K barrels per day).
The decline is not for lack of resource, as indicated in part from the proposed Willow Project, which would add 180K/d in 2028 to increase overall TAPS deliveries by 13 percent. Santos Pikka Phase I is expected to add 80k/d in 2026, according to the Alaska Department of Revenue – Tax Division.
Willow Project
Recently, the Conoco Phillips Willow Project has been sanctioned in the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska. The largest oil development project in Alaska in decades was met with fierce opposition from outside environmental groups. The project was pulled back for insertion of language from President Biden’s Executive Order 13990, establishing the Social Cost of Greenhouse Gases (SC-GHG).
Biden’s compromise was an alternative that promises to leave 53 million barrels in the ground. The option to not develop our resources is in violation of Article VIII—Natural Resources of the Alaska Constitution: “It is the policy of the State to encourage the settlement of its land and the development of its resources by making them available for maximum use consistent with the public interest.”
The “public interest” is hardly about Alaska and climate change. A bit of extra warmth from any cause is welcomed year-round in this state, particularly since the “greenhouse signal” is oriented toward winter nights. Moreover, Alaska emits around one hundredth of one percent of global GHG emissions, calculated by multiplying the state’s 0.8 percent of U.S. emissions times the U.S. share of global emissions of 12 percent.
Willow has now moved the yard marker and will be an example for every other resource development project on federal lands, while simultaneously creating a fictitious value to SC-GHG.
Secretary of the Interior, Deb Haaland, has been the ringleader in all of this. Her nomination as secretary was advanced out of committee by Alaska United States Senator Lisa Murkowski, and she was confirmed by both Alaska US Senators Murkowski and Dan Sullivan. Most Alaska oil and gas executives endorsed Lisa for reelection in 2022, a story of pragmatism gone wrong.
Natural Gas for Alaska
Alaska’s (governmental) oil problem is also a natural gas problem. In Anchorage, the majority of power and heat comes from gas. In the last couple of years, the state has been fed a narrative of a looming natural gas shortage in the Cook Inlet basin with ideas floating around recently to import gas.
In 2011, USGS estimated that Cook Inlet Region contained 20 trillion cubic feet of gas (TCF) with a 95% probability of 5 TCF being proved (economic). That is a lot of gas, with proved reserves representing a half-century of usage in the state (primarily Anchorage) at present consumption rates.
Regional gas is supplied to ENSTAR, which was bought out in 2022 by TriSummit Utilities, owned by two Canadian public investment managers, the Public Sector Pension Investment Board (PSP) being one of them. According to TriSummit’s 2022 ESG report,
While our net-zero commitment excludes subsequently acquired assets, such as our pending acquisition of ENSTAR Natural Gas Company and Cook Inlet Natural Gas Storage Alaska, we will strive to bring our emissions reducing mindset to bear as we grow….
Chugach Corporation, the Anchorage area electric utility, uses one fourth of the gas produced from the Cook Inlet. Sentiments from Chugach executives are that natural gas is a “transitional fuel” that can be phased out. As if we desire to sell our souls to the wildly unreliable and expensive renewables.
Since losing two seats to the NGO-led green movement in the Chugach board elections last spring, the renewable energy propaganda in the newsletter is being ramped up as Alaska risks becoming cold and dark. It happened in Texas, and it can happen here.
Governor Dunleavy Problem
Instead of pushing for responsible development of natural gas in the Cook Inlet basin, Governor Mike Dunleavy has plans to turn it into a CO2 carbon capture & storage dumping ground. The Cook Inlet is one of the largest geological sequestration locations on the US west coast. Carbon management legislation, the top priority for the Dunleavy Administration in the 2023-2024 session, was fast tracked and passed 58-2 in a majority Republican legislature.
The scheme was sold as a major revenue source for Alaska, but the fiscal notes were blank. When representatives faced backlash from their constituents, they went as far as to pen opinion pieces claiming that carbon management was “Not ESG.”
Surprisingly, in the 2021-2022 session, Governor Dunleavy introduced a bill for Renewable Portfolio Standards for utilities. This bill would require certain regulated utilities to “derive increasing percentages of the utility’s net electricity sales from clean energy resources in order to minimize costs to consumers and minimize the state’s carbon emissions.” This bill didn’t progress; still, on September 30, 2022, Governor Dunleavy established the Office of Energy Innovation.
On February 23, 2023, Governor Dunleavy established the Alaska Energy Security Task Force. Then on May 25, at the second annual Alaska Sustainable Energy Conference, he signed a bill permanently extending the state’s renewable energy grant fund.
At the same time, Governor Dunleavy unveiled The Alaska Standard Inaugural Sustainability Report wherein it is said: “Alaska stands ready to lead the energy transition.” This report proudly pledged allegiance in a disturbing attempt to explain how Alaska is aligned with the United Nations SDGs.
Alaska Sovereignty at Risk
In a state where oil revenues account for up to 90% of tax revenues, we are obliterating any chance Alaska has at sovereignty. Then again, the Alaska Supreme Court ruled the legislature can raid the largest Sovereign Wealth Fund in the nation, the Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend, which is owned by the citizens, to fund the Jabba the Hut-sized government.
Alaska policy makers, led by the governor, are eradicating the free-market principles in our state. A media blackout on the problem has left only citizen-led initiatives driving the train to truth. We the People Alaska publishes an eye-opening substack on many of these topics.
We need to restore the power of the grand jury; this constitutional right as of one year ago has been halted. Why else would the court rule in violation of Alaska’s constitution if not rife with corruption – the very corruption the grand jury sought to investigate?
It is time for policy reform at all levels of Alaskan government. Overall, we need a critical mass of folks asking the tough questions. Voter apathy is a real issue in this state – turnout for the Chugach electric utility board was only 16%, for example.
I don’t recall anyone asking for any of this to be done to us, however who you choose to represent you and your involvement at the lowest level will mean deciding between food and electricity.

Britain’s biggest motorway service station provider has brought in marshals to police “charge rage” among electric vehicle drivers battling for access to plug-in points.
Moto chief executive Ken McMeikan warned the UK’s motorway service stations are facing growing “public disorder” due to a lack of grid connections preventing him from installing enough car chargers to meet the surge in demand.
It means many motorists are facing long waits, with angry drivers confronting staff and each other over the lack of charging facilities.
Mr McMeikan said the delays made drivers “very angry and stressed” and warned of the growing risk of “charge rage” on Britain’s motorways.
He said: “People need to drive their EV cars around without range anxiety, without long queues and without public disorder but at peak seasonal times we are experiencing all this now.”
Moto, which runs 49 motorway services around the UK, has already introduced marshalls at Exeter, Rugby and Wetherby to manage EV queues and prevent conflicts during busy periods.
Mr McMeikan, 58, who drives an EV himself, said he had told the government of the problem and warned ministers that public disorder incidents would grow.
He told The Telegraph: “I’ve been saying to them that the grid does not have sufficient capacity right now to deliver the power we need at the time we need it.
“If we don’t get that amount of power guaranteed, then in coming years every Christmas, every Easter, every summer holiday and peak bank holiday will be the equivalent of when we have a fuel crisis on petrol and diesel.”
Electric car drivers were forced to queue for up to six hours at some service stations across the UK last Christmas.
Unlike a petrol or diesel engine that takes just minutes to fill, a typical electric car will take at least half an hour to recharge. It means many more charging stations are needed to service EVs.
The Moto chief is the latest senior business leader to warn that long delays in connecting to the grid are holding back the rolling out of charging points.
The chief executive of Gridserve, one of Britain’s biggest electric car charging companies, told The Telegraph earlier this month that delays had forced his business to rely on batteries and generators to power up vehicles.
Mr McMeikan said: “You’ll see queues of people and public disorder because there wasn’t enough power delivered to motorway service areas… to allow people to charge their car and then continue their journey.
“There is a view in government that, rather than provide the power to guarantee sufficient numbers of chargers, we should be thinking about how we manage queues.”
There are already about 850,000 electric vehicles on UK roads and two in ten of the new cars registered in August were EVs.
It obviously has not occurred to Mr McMeikan that that the grid upgrades he demands will cost tens of billions, money which the country has not got.
Instead of moaning about the problem, why is he not attacking the ban on ICEs, which is the root cause of this impending disaster.
Given that the 850,000 EVs on the roads only make up 2% of the total number of cars, I cannot see how any motorway services will be able to cope come 2030, when the roads will be full of EVs.
I’ll give one example.
We always holiday up in Scotland two or three times a year, and we used to stop off at Scotch Corner, for a wee and a sandwich. (We have since found a nice pub that takes dogs instead!)
At lunch time, the car park there is always rammed, and you are lucky to even find a spot. And this happens every weekend in summer, not just bank holidays.
Now imagine all of those cars needing to recharge, which most certainly will. The result will be utter chaos, even if a charger is installed at every car park space.
And it certainly won’t be economic for the Motos of the motorways to build ultra rapid chargers for every car parked up at their services, as they would simply stand idle for most of the time.
Net zero chaos: the UK grid just can’t meet current(!) EV requirements at busy travel times. Good luck if such a time happens to be a windless day. Electricity can’t easily be stored at the service station, like liquid fuels – who knew? – – – Britain’s biggest motorway service station provider has brought in marshals to police “charge rage” among electric vehicle drivers battling for access to plug-in points, reports The Telegraph.

Daily rainfall of 5 inches and more is not unusual in New York, and 5.48 inches is only the 9th wettest day on record. The wettest day was in 1882, and the chart of peak rainfall each year shows no evidence of it getting worse:

Artificial intelligence (AI) is taking the world by storm. New AI applications are announced daily. Amazon, Apple, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and many companies tout plans for artificial intelligence capabilities. But the AI revolution is bad news for global efforts to achieve net-zero emissions.
The AI revolution is based on high-performance AI chips, which are capable of revolutionary levels of computer processing power and can sort through vast amounts of stored data. Multiple AI chips reside on each of dozens of boards, housed in endless racks of servers, which are sited in warehouse-sized AI data centers. While the rack of a conventional data center server draws roughly seven kilowatts of electricity, an AI server rack can use up to 50 kilowatts of power.
Spending on artificial intelligence infrastructure is projected to grow at a compound annual rate of 44 percent over the next six years. Total data center power requirements will increase by at least a factor of six and maybe by as much as ten times by 2029. Greenhouse gas emissions from AI data centers will increase by a similar amount.
The International Energy Agency estimates that data centers account for one to 1.5 percent of world electricity use and are responsible for about one percent of energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. But the rapid growth of AI infrastructure, coupled with a jump in electricity consumption as power-hungry AI server racks replace conventional server racks, will cause carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from data centers to skyrocket. Artificial intelligence will become a major contributor to global CO2 emissions by 2030, contrary to Net Zero goals.
Proponents define Net Zero as an even balance between the amount of greenhouse gases emitted from human industrial processes and the amount removed from the atmosphere. They claim that we must attain Net Zero by 2050 to limit the rise in global temperatures to 1.5 degrees Celsius above the background temperature level of the 1800s. Wind turbines, solar panels, heat pumps, biofuels, hydrogen fuel, and carbon dioxide capture and storage are all promoted as tools to get us to Net Zero.
But virtually nothing that our modern society does is “zero emissions.” Building a house, for example, means cutting down trees for lumber; mining materials and manufacturing wire and components for electricity; producing plastic or copper for pipes; manufacturing drywall, roofing, brick, glass, concrete, and many other materials and emitting greenhouse gasses every step of the way. Manufacturing of household furnishings — such as furniture, appliances, and computers — also emits large quantities of CO2. Transportation of all these materials emits even more greenhouse gases. Even a grass hut isn’t Net Zero. CO2 is released when you cut down grass and wood to build the hut.
Net Zero is fundamentally a zero-growth ideology. The United Nations, International Energy Agency, and green movement leaders call for an eight percent reduction in world energy consumption by 2050. But energy consumption increased 47 percent from 2000 to 2021. They call for a 40 percent reduction in carbon dioxide emissions by 2030. But global CO2 emissions increased by 44 percent from 2000 to 2021. The AI revolution and other societal development programs run contrary to Net Zero’s zero-growth plans.

Today, about 700 million people do not have access to electricity. Another two billion people suffer from daily electrical power blackouts. If your home in the United States has an air conditioner, you consume triple the electricity that is used by people in one-third of Earth’s population. Net Zero demands for a global reduction in energy use run counter to history and common sense.

Far away from artificial intelligence, the residents of developing nations lack many things that we take for granted in wealthy nations. People in the U.S. and Europe enjoy at least one vehicle for every two residents, compared to fewer than four vehicles per 100 people in India and Africa. In sub-Saharan Africa, where daily temperatures often exceed 86 degrees Fahrenheit, only one in sixteen people has air conditioning. Forty percent of these people don’t even own a fan. As another example, residents in wealthy countries use about 20 times as much plastic as residents in undeveloped countries. The people of developing nations will choose economic growth and higher standards of living over the no-growth policies of Net Zero every single time.
Driven by the expansion of new technologies like artificial intelligence and the need for economic growth in developing countries, there is zero chance that Net Zero will be achieved by 2050. Energy consumption and CO2 emissions will continue to rise for decades to come.

George Soros is desperate for Russia to suffer a crushing defeat, so Europe can focus more resources on international climate action. Some of that action may include political attacks on Republicans.
House Approves Last-Minute Stopgap To Avert Government Shutdown—Leaves Out Funding For Ukraine
The House of Representatives approved an 11th hour stopgap measure to keep the federal government funded for another 45 days, with just hours left before the deadline to avert a shutdown, sending the bill to the Senate for a vote.
The House voted 335-91 to pass the resolution, meeting the two-thirds threshold required, with 90 Republicans and one Democrat, Illinois Rep. Mike Quigley, opposed to the measure, arguing it lacked funding for Ukraine.
The 71-page continuing resolution adds money for disaster relief, but leaves out military funding for Ukraine, a key criticism from far-right House Republicans who have called for sweeping funding cuts despite pleas from the Biden Administration for $20 billion in additional funding for Ukraine.
George Soros’s article from March, in which he links ending the Ukraine war to climate action;
Russian defeat is inevitable, and will allow world to focus on our real problem — Climate change
The countries of the former Soviet empire eagerly await defeat of the Russian army in Ukraine, and the world will be able to focus on climate change, writes George Soros
THU, 23 MAR, 2023 – 01:28 GEORGE SOROS
It is just over one month ago that I gave a speech on the eve of the Munich Security Conference. Since then, so many remarkable things have happened — and have happened so fast — that it is worth comparing my predictions of a month ago with actual developments.
…
The countries of the former Soviet empire, eager to assert their independence, can hardly wait for the Russian army to be crushed in Ukraine. At that point, Putin’s dream of a renewed Russian empire will disintegrate and cease to pose a threat to Europe.
The defeat of Russian imperialism will have far-reaching consequences for the rest of the world. It will bring huge relief to open societies and create tremendous problems for closed ones. Most importantly, it will allow the world to concentrate on its biggest problem, climate change.
How will that concentration on climate change manifest?
We don’t often catch a glimpse behind the curtain of European politics, but such slip was a public boast by then British Climate Change Minister Claire Perry, about all the good they were doing, reaching out to elected US politicians, and helping US politicians to sabotage President Trump’s America First agenda.
UK bypasses Donald Trump to discuss climate change with US city mayors directly
Claire Perry, the Climate Change Minister, says British Government is now speaking to ‘other players’ in US about how to fight global warming
Ian Johnston Environment Correspondent Tuesday 25 July 2017 14:21
The UK has started bypassing Donald Trump over climate change, talking directly to city mayors and other officials committed to trying to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the new Climate Change Minister has revealed.
Claire Perry, who was appointed to the post after the general election last month, said that British ministers had not “missed an opportunity” to tell the US President that they were disappointed he had decided to withdraw from the Paris Agreement on climate change, the news service Bloomberg reported.
She said she had been speaking to “other players” in the US, including the mayor of Houston, Sylvester Turner, who visited the UK last week.
Want to see something more recent? Zelensky made a speech to Congress a week ago, in which he affirmed ending the war was vital to climate progress.
… We know the possible effects of spreading the war into the cyberspace. The artificial intelligence could be trained to combat well – before it would learn to help the humanity. Thank God, people have not yet learned to use climate as a weapon. Even though humanity is failing on its climate policy objectives – this means that extreme weather will still impact the normal global life and some evil state will also weaponise its outcomes.
And when people in the streets of New York and other cities of the world went out on climate protest – we all have seen them… And when people in Morocco and Libya and other countries die as a result of natural disasters… And when islands and countries disappear under water… And when tornados and deserts are spreading into new territories… And when all of this is happening, one unnatural disaster in Moscow decided to launch a big war and kill tens of thousands of people.
We must act united – to defeat the aggressor and focus all our capabilities and energy on addressing these challenges.
I provided evidence the British Government, at that time a member of the European Union, thought it was OK for British taxpayer resources to be used to interfere in US politics, to “bypass” President Trump’s America First agenda. I also provided evidence, the words of George Soros, that the utter defeat and breakup of Russia is a green movement priority.
I believe the evidence supports my opinion that if the USA helps Ukraine and Europe to crush Russia, to such an extent the Russian Federation collapses and no longer poses a military threat to Europe,some of the European state funds liberated by cutting defence budgets may be directed towards helping US candidates who support European style green policies.
How else could greens like Soros and his European friends push forward clearly articulated plans for advancing the global green revolution, other than to “bypass”, brush aside or otherwise neutralise the political opponents of radical climate action?
