Blackouts, higher energy prices, China-made "slavery" solar panels, foreign dependence, and conflicts-of-interest more than politics are behind the failure of the Democrats' climate legislation in Congress

Why Biden’s Climate Agenda Is Falling Apart
michaelshellenberger.substack.com/p/why-bidens-c…
With Biden's climate infrastructure legislation failing, progressives protest to demand President @JoeBiden stop talking to Republicans & instead ram through $2 trillion in climate legislation over the objections of Democratic Sen. @Sen_JoeManchin

The climate-renewables agenda is also failing in Europe

"People don't want to hear bad news about the climate crisis anymore" complained @GretaThunberg to Le Monde

In truth, people are tired of being lied to by alarmists who hide their true motivations

So called "climate activists" and "environmentalists" in Europe and the U.S. are greenwashing the destruction of our largest source of zero-emissions electricity, nuclear

They are corrupted financially and directly on the take from fossil/RE industries

michaelshellenberger.substack.com/p/maybe-theyre…
But even financial corruption has its limits

Blackouts, energy spikes, and revelations of "genocide" and "slavery" in the making of solar panels in China have undermined the renewable-fossil energy agenda of Democrats & European Greens alike

The climate apocalypse/renewable energy grift is coming to an end

“There have been a number of social movements that have lost momentum over time, to varying degrees in different places. The opposition to nuclear power, at least in the U.S., appears to have declined sharply, as the predicted apocalypse never arrived.”

“Many climate activists describe their claims as being supported by science. Shellenberger challenged a number of such claims, asking for the scientific evidence, while noting it wasn’t in the IPCC reports, and got little or no response”

“Concern about homelessness was strong in the 1980s, but then receded before resurging recently. Part of the problem stems from activists’ insistence that homelessness was due to conservative economic policies, when ultimately it was primarily due substance abuse & mental health”

The CIA has offered employees eight months pay and benefits to leave. Great start. After that, Director @JohnRatcliffe can clean house. The CIA illegally spied on the 2016 Trump campaign, hid Covid's origins, and spread disinformation about the Hunter Biden laptop. Image
The U.S. Intelligence Community said in January 2017 that Russia favored Trump as president. It didn't. The CIA "cooked the intelligence" to hide that Vladamir Putin wanted Hillary Clinton, not Donald Trump, as president.

The CIA is still hiding documents that incriminate the Intelligence Community for illegal spying and election interference:

Forty-three paragraphs into the NYT's latest hit piece on @elonmusk, the six (!) by-lined reporters reveal that the federal government lost $236 billion to apparent fraud ("improper payments") in 2023 alone. Maybe this isn't the dunk you guys thought it was? Image
It takes a village Image
"How could anyone in the federal government possibly be against saving taxpayers $236 billion lost annually to fraud?"

The media said "gender affirming care" relied on good science. It didn't. The internal files of trans medical group WPATH proved that. And now, Trump's ban on government support for chemical & surgical mutilation of children recognizes that WPATH is junk science. Awesome. Image
"Ending Reliance on Junk Science. The harm done to children by chemical & surgical mutilation cloaks itself in medical necessity, spurred by guidance from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), which lacks scientific integrity"
whitehouse.gov/presidential-a…
Files from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) prove that the practice of transgender medicine is neither scientific nor medical.

American Medical Association, The Endocrine Society, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and thousands of doctors worldwide rely on WPATH. It is considered the leading global authority on gender medicine.

And yet WPATH’s internal files, which include written discussions and a video, reveal that its members know they are creating victims and not getting “informed consent.”

Victims include a 10-year-old girl, a 13-year-old developmentally delayed adolescent, and individuals suffering from schizophrenia and other serious mental illnesses.

The injuries described in the WPATH Files include sterilization, loss of sexual function, liver tumors, and death.

WPATH members indicate repeatedly that they know that many children and their parents don’t understand the effects that puberty blockers, hormones, and surgeries will have on their bodies. And yet, they continue to perform and advocate for gender medicine.

The WPATH Files prove that gender medicine is comprised of unregulated and pseudoscientific experiments on children, adolescents, and vulnerable adults. It will go down as one of the worst medical scandals in history.

The office of Calif. Gov. @GavinNewsom said that none of the $50M in taxpayer money would be used to protect criminals from deportation. But then, when pressed, the "officials could not make the guarantee." Nor could they say how they'd prevent the money from being abused. Image
One of the main reasons the LA fires became unnecessarily catastrophic is because @GavinNewsom and @MayorOfLA defunded fire prevention and fire fighting. They instead spent hundreds of millions to increase homelessness, who cause over half of all LA fires
@GavinNewsom @MayorOfLA .@GavinNewsom & @MayorOfLA defunded firefighting because they are obsessed with their own careers and backed by an anti-civilization political party. And now, instead of dealing with all of the catastrophes across California, waiting to happen, they're fighting Trump.

Biden pardoned Fauci. He says it’s not an admission of guilt. But if Fauci were innocent, no pardon would be needed. The evidence suggests Fauci helped create the Covid pandemic, and then covered it up. The investigation must go forward. All Covid & Fauci Files must be released.
Fauci led an aggressive disinformation effort to discredit the lab leak hypothesis. If the Covid virus didn’t escape from the lab, why did he deliberately spread false or misleading information about it? Why did he repeatedly interfere in the investigation?
Fauci played the media like a fiddle. They called the lab lead a “conspiracy theory.” Then, documents showed that Fauci’s main allies had sought to insert a furin cleavage site in the exact place where it exists on the Covid virus. Reason #7,969 for why the legacy media is dead.

Strong words from LA fire fighters to the chief: "[I]f you had done things right... fatalities would have been reduced, property would have been saved....the preventive systems... were nonexistent... We attribute this to... lack of experience, arrogance, inability to lead..."
Another good scoop by @RichMcHugh @NewsNation

Excellent video segment too:
