Dr. Richard Lindzen, a world-renowned atmospheric physicist and MIT professor emeritus, is sounding the alarm about the globalist push to enforce so-called “Net Zero” policies.
Lindzen is warning the public about the global campaign to comply with “Net Zero” by 2050.
In his view, the plan is not only astronomically expensive but virtually useless. ...
“If you reach Net Zero by 2050, if you do it worldwide, you avoid about a third of a degree of warming,” says Lindzen in a new interview.
“If it’s just Europe and the Anglosphere, it’s closer to a tenth of a degree.
“So you have avoided a tenth of a degree of warming at a cost of probably tens of trillions of dollars.
“Doesn’t seem like a bargain to me,” he adds.
“How far will the population go in saying, we will sacrifice ourselves for a symbolic gesture?” ...
“When somebody says the change of a tenth of a degree, or when [UN Secretary-General António] Guterres says, if it changes a half-degree, we’re finished as a species, this is an existential threat – people have to ask, what the hell are they talking about?”
He dismisses climate doomsday predictions as political theatrics.
“2030 will pass. 2050 will pass,” he states.
“Fifty years will pass.
“There will be no climate catastrophe.”
In 1959, the first publication of the Rockefeller Institute Press included a section on “Changes in the Carbon Dioxide Content of the Atmosphere and Sea due to Fossil Fuel Combustion”.
Laurance Rockefeller was purposed with the spiritual arm of the operation. Starting in the late 40’s. Laurance founded fifty environmental organizations including the World Wildlife Federation, the World Resource Foundation, the IUCN, and UNESCO. Laurence is behind Esalen and Lindesfarne Association, and is responsible for coining the term “New Age”. He founded and funded the Fund for the Advancement of the Human Spirit, the Foundation for Conscious Evolution, the Conservation Foundation. He was a board member of the National Resources Defense Council, the National Geographic Society, Woods Hole Geographic Society, Resources for the Future, and the Sloan foundation. He was a board member of the Environmental Defence Fund and the WWF. He co-founded the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and served as its chairman from 1958-1979. Laurance Rockefeller founded Cybernetics as a discipline by funding its study. ...
Evil has a human face, but despite the billions thrown at the people of the earth, fewer and fewer of us are falling for it. This latest Facebook-hysteria-the-sky-is-falling post from NASA’s Climate Change Center, received 5,600 reactions. 5,300, including mine were laughing emojis.
A major US government website supporting public education on climate science looks likely to be shuttered after almost all of its staff were fired, the Guardian has learned.
Climate.gov, the gateway website for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa)’s Climate Program Office, will imminently no longer publish new content, according to multiple former staff responsible for the site’s content whose contracts were recently terminated.

Humans have a lot of trouble with chaotic and random things. They want to believe that stuff happens for a reason and that they themselves have something to do with that reason. In premodernity, a surprising amount of religious energy went into embedding weather events in broader narratives about the relationship between divine powers and their human minions. It was commonplace to read untimely frosts and droughts as the wages of impiety. We now live in a secular world, but we still have a deeply religious approach to many things, including the weather.
Climatism is one of a whole array of stunted, faintly malicious parareligions that our secular era has spawned. Its dogmas demand that every adverse weather event, from snowstorms to droughts, from heatwaves to floods, from hurricanes to earthquakes, be ascribed to the original sin of carbon emissions. The truth is that we have never been so secure against natural disasters and weather-related mortality as we are right now, and we owe our security to the highly concentrated energy that fossil fuels have provided us.
Also, it is almost exclusively made in China!!!
One of the longest running climate cases, Juliana v. United States, just ended in rejection at the Supreme Court.
