Marc Morano criticizes IEA\u2019s fuel consumption reduction guidance as \u2018climate agenda\u2019 \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ClimateDepot.com executive editor Marc Morano discusses the International Energy Agency\u2019s (IEA) new guidance on reducing fuel consumption amid the war in the Middle East on \u2018The Bottom Line.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because maybe I got this wrong. But I was looking at that, IEA stuff. These guidelines, and there might have been guidelines for individuals, but it looked like they were also putting out guidance for governments to consider, is where your concern is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marc Morano:<\/strong>\u00a0To paraphrase the words of Al Pacino, just when you think we\u2019re out of the climate agenda, they pull us back in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You have not only the IEA, which is, by the way, the International Energy Agency, but it has been hijacked by climate alarmists \u2014 for years, they\u2019ve been all in on net zero \u2014 promoting this, you have also a Reuters news analysis, and climate activists. They are treating the Iran war as though it\u2019s a version of the Green New Deal. They\u2019re excited. Every time Iran blows up someone\u2019s energy infrastructure, they look at this as an opportunity to literally do the exact same things they were proposing for the green new deal for net zero and COVID, with stay-at-home orders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s happening here is they\u2019re using the same tactics of fear, their fearmongering about an energy crisis that hasn\u2019t even happened yet. And they\u2019re turning that into, \u2018we have to proactively turn our whole economy toward net zero like we\u2019ve been saying for decades with the climate agenda.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All these activists are rooting for Iran to do more destruction to energy infrastructure and keep the Strait blocked so that we can go after fossil fuels. To be clear, Reuters said the Iran war was a \u2018fossil fuel killer\u2019, and that we can now use this to move off of fossil fuels. They\u2019re just that excited about this whole war for that reason. \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Higher energy prices are not a bug of the climate agenda; they are a feature. So any hike in energy prices is exactly what they always wanted. So you can see why they\u2019re giddy at the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Donald Trump has destroyed \u2014 and I mean, obliterated the green agenda in a little over a year. They are now just regrouping and trying to use the Iran war to resurrect themselves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
