From CFACT<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have had a week that has exposed the no-limits extremes of the climate campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Kerry, with his parting shot as Climate Czar, said that the world might feel better about Russia\u2019s actions in the Ukrainian war if they lowered their climate footprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The depths of lunacy this reaches know no bounds. It is because of the actions of Kerry and his ilk in the administration Putin has the funds to fight the war in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Germany, destroying an ancient forest to put up wind turbines is beyond any rational thought. First of all, you can wreck plenty of open spaces with the turbines. But the removal of 120k ancient trees, each taking away 50 lbs of CO2 for 6 million pounds a year, and the environmental cost of building these monstrosities should have every environmentalist up in arms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do they realize the effect on the local climate? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forests are a great way to remove CO2 as I mentioned above, and are naturally cooler areas. So if you are afraid of CO2 (I am not, but understand you might be) this shows in no uncertain terms the depths of delusion these people are forcing on others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How this is even considered, is beyond me. And if you are an environmentalist how are you not up in arms at this? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You have a forest that has survived wars and turmoil. Germany\u2019s forests are supposedly dying because of climate change so they destroy more forests to prevent more climate change. How is this even considered or tolerated? This is just another matter that Dostoevsky was right about.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Then, there is this illustration from this Twitter handle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

True Science PEng, DFP, ADFS, MA, MBA.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The covering of fields with solar panels could actually ADD TO WARMING.\u00a0 The illustration means microclimates will indeed change. We see this all the time with cities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only is there an urban heat island with downstream implications. (For example, the Philadelphia UHI is a great place to start thunderstorms that then follow the 3 major highways, US 30, US 322, and the Atlantic City expressway ESE toward the shore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are major differences in thunderstorm frequency at the NJ shore for instance north of Atlantic City vs south, more to the north enhanced by the effect noted above). But now imagine fields that were covered with cooling vegetation replaced with solar panels that can elevate temperatures to 70C.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine the change to the environment in those areas. The vegetation and animal life be dammed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this is because the people pushing this\u00a0 HAVE NO LOVE OF WEATHER OR CLIMATE. I have written about this several times. They simply use weather and climate to advance their mission. There is no rational thinking about this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is getting so bad that the Dostoevsky quote above, not only is evident in the irrational policies we are seeing enacted in non-climate issues but is leading to some kind of disorder that is causing societal disruptions we are seeing with climate protesters that are blocking roads or trying to destroy priceless art. Circle back to the destruction of the ancient forest. How is that so different from throwing orange paint on a priceless piece of art as far as an irrational action based on a phony mission?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the face of all this lunacy, these facts seem to be completely ignored, nicely compiled by man-made climate change skeptic, Graham Keagan:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 1900\u2026 \u2013 Life expectancy +130% \u2013 Literacy percentage up 4 fold \u2013 Population up 5 fold \u2013 GDP per capita up 7 fold \u2013 Poverty down 7 fold \u2013 Death from natural disasters down 50 fold (with 5x the number of people on the planet)  Civilization is flourishing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no rational reason for what is being forced down the throat of the planet. The destruction of an ancient forest should raise alarm bells. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kerry\u2019s parting comments that would imply a carbon footprint reduction would somehow offset aggression that we are indirectly funding by phony climate war policies Kerry advocates should raise alarm bells. The effect of these actions on the environment, the destruction of large areas of nature by the establishment of these fields, and the cost of the materials should be obvious. This has nothing to do with climate or weather. It is being pushed by people who have no love of climate, weather, nature, or mankind in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dostoevsky was (is) right. It\u2019s time for rational people to stop this irrationality. I have never thought climate should be a big issue, but what is driving all this is. The motivation for all this is the reduction, if not destruction, of man\u2019s upward mobility \u2014 and climate is the tool.\u00a0 This must be stopped peacefully at the ballot box. Because, in the end, this irrationality is the nail in the coffin of our freedom and is designed for top-down elitist control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
