COP 26, the largest "climate conference"--aka fossil fuel elimination conference--since the Paris Climate Accords, is starting to fall apart as countries seek *more* fossil fuel.

Let's make sure this genocidal conference totally falls apart. Here's the necessary ammunition.🧵
The alleged basis of UN Climate Conferences and their fossil fuel elimination commitments is the idea of "climate crisis." But this is a pseudoscientific idea based on a denial of our fossil fueled mastery of climate. Here's a full explanation:
energytalkingpoints.com/climate-crisis/
The alleged scientific credibility of the genocidal UN Climate Conference comes from the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Here's how the IPCC is fundamentally distorted by anti-human religion.
The most recent "scientific" justification for the UN Climate Conference's pursuit of fossil fuel elimination was the recent IPCC "Assessment Report," which supposedly claimed that we're at "code red for humanity." Here's why that reporting was false.
The upcoming UN Climate Conference, COP 26, is a continuation of the celebrated "Paris Climate Accords." But these accords required, among many other evils, the senseless sacrifice of America. Here's the full story about them.

Even if you believe CO2 emissions are one of humanity's greatest concerns (I think lack of energy is 100X more significant) the UN approach of mandating solar+wind is idiotic; the only practical path is liberating low-carbon innovation, including nuclear.

Here's how the anti-fossil fuel, pro-solar-and-wind policies that the UN has been championing for decades are responsible for today's energy crisis and would make things far worse.
Here's how the anti-fossil fuel, pro-solar-and-wind policies that the UN has been championing for decades--which President Biden is now adopting--are an existential threat to America's energy security and national security.
We are told that it's a tragedy that the targets of past UN Climate Conferences have failed to be met. But it's a good thing that they have failed, and human flourishing requires that they continue to fail going forward.
Here's a key clarification about the supposedly disastrous threshold of 1.5°C.
Here's why the UN Climate Conference's call for $100 billion / year wealth transfers from rich countries to poor countries is completely unjustified.
Here's the single most important climate chart in the world--using non-partisan, publicly available data, showing drastic declines in climate-related disaster deaths, which the UN completely ignores in its multi-thousand-page "assessment reports."

As the Clean Electricity Performance Program dies, many are pushing a carbon tax to replace it. Bad idea. A carbon tax would raise energy prices and make every US industry less competitive. The only rational approach to lowering emissions is liberating nuclear and natural gas.🧵
Any policy toward CO2 must recognize that CO2 emissions are a global issue--and that global emissions are rising because of the developing world's increasing use of fossil fuels. The US causes less than 1/6 of global emissions—and falling.

The developing world overwhelmingly uses fossil fuels because that is by far the lowest-cost way for them to get reliable energy. Unreliable solar and wind can’t come close. That’s why China and India have hundreds of new coal plants in the pipeline.

Great news: Joe Manchin is standing up to the Administration's insane insistence—during an energy crisis involving shortages of fossil fuels—on cutting emissions 40-50% by 2030. That means minimum 50% unreliable solar+wind. Manchin could literally save our country from ruin.
Here's why the centerpiece of this Administration's efforts to radically cut CO2 emissions, an 80% "Clean Energy Standard," is a disaster.
Here's the definitive refutation of the idea that the US can rapidly get to "80% clean electricity" because other countries have.

Awesome: Latino landscaping company owner Miguel Rojas trashes California's supposedly Latino-friendly new ban on gasoline lawnmowers and leaf-blowers:
"This is just going to hurt us....Maybe the writers of this should mow a lawn a few times before judging what’s best for us."
👇
"It should really come down to preference. My crews prefer different things, sometimes based on the neighborhood. Some like gas, some like electric, some don’t care. But now they’re trying to get us not to use certain ones? That’s idiotic."
californiaglobe.com/articles/lands…
"And one of them is saying that this is for Latinos. This is just going to hurt us, as electric ones don’t last as long due to the battery life. And we wear masks and other protective equipment, so we’re fine using the gas ones." --Latino landscaping company owner Miguel Rojas

Skyrocketing natural gas and coal prices are not a failure of the fossil fuel industry, but the total failure of *anti-fossil fuel policies*, which falsely promised that if we dramatically restricted fossil fuel energy production, green energy could easily replace it.

THREAD
There is no physical reason that the natural gas and coal industries can't meet rising demand. The world has hundreds of years' worth of gas deposits and thousands of years worth of coal deposits. But governments radically restrict the freedom to utilize those deposits.
There is no technical or economic reason the natural gas and coal industries can't meet demand. These industries have gotten radically more capable and efficient in the last two decades--especially natural gas with fracking. But governments radically restrict their freedom.

Good news! Huntington Beach, the CA beach most affected by the oil spill, is now open "after water quality tests revealed no detectable levels of oil-associated toxins."

Thanks to long-time Californians @benshapiro and @SteveHiltonx for helping me spread the truth last week.
👇
During the height of the oil spill hysteria last week, I discussed with @benshapiro how oil is a natural, organic substance that would quickly become non-harmful to beachgoers--which is exactly what happened. Did any mainstream media get this right?
During the height of oil spill hysteria last week I had an extended discussion with @SteveHiltonx, now vindicated, about the manageable nature of the spill vs. the completely unmanageable burden that anti-oil policies place on Californians.
