1. The Climate Change Deception
‘Climate Change’ has served as the new moniker ever since its predecessor – ‘Global Warming’ (defined as the rising temperatures of the surface of our planet caused by human-driven emissions) – failed to hold up to scientific scrutiny.
Whichever one you want to call it, it has largely been one giant deception levied on the unsuspecting masses to perpetuate a climate of fear, guilt, and alarmism. And there is plenty of evidence that indicates this, if one is inclined enough to do some basic examination about it, including its origins.
While of course there are plenty of legitimate claims regarding real climate change and the degradation of our natural environment due to human and commercial activities, a lot of them are the result of purposeful acts committed by disreputable actors such as those involved in geoengineering.
For instance, Solar Radiation Management, weather manipulation (such as droughts), aerosol spraying, military operations, among others, are the real man-made contributors to climate change in that they pose serious threats to human health and our natural environment, namely the air that we breathe, fauna, plants, agriculture, our lakes and other biological ecosystems. Why aren’t the climate alarmists covering these contributors?
Regarding the origins of Global Warming & Climate Change, it has been well documented that they have been artificially brought about several decades ago by a group of elites behind a think tank called the Club of Rome.
When speaking about Agenda 21 and the Club of Rome, former Australian politician Ann Bressington stated the following [emphasis added]:
Ladies and gentlemen, the origins of the environmental movement as we see it began back in 1968 when the Club of Rome was formed. The Club of Rome has been described as a crisis think tank which specialises in crisis creation. The main purpose of this think tank was to formulate a crisis that would unite the world and condition us to the idea of global solutions to local problems. In a document called The First Global Revolution, … it stated: ‘In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill.’ …, that’s the origin of global warming ladies and gentlemen.
The Club of Rome is still actively involved in activities related to Climate Change. And at first glance it all seems quite legitimate. But the power and influence wielded by its well-connected membership leaves much to be scrutinized.
As recently as August, 2022, The Daily Skeptic published a piece titled 1,200 Scientists and Professionals Declare: “There is No Climate Emergency”, which challenges the political fiction that humans cause most or all of climate change, as opposed to the evolutionary forces of nature which have rendered gradual climatic transitions over millions of years. The article makes reference to the ‘World Climate Declaration (WCD)’ through which the scientists have asserted the following salient points:
Climate policy relies on inadequate models
Climate models have many shortcomings and are not remotely plausible as policy tools. They do not only exaggerate the effect of greenhouse gases, they also ignore the fact that enriching the atmosphere with CO2 is beneficial.
CO2 is plant food, the basis of all life on Earth
CO2 is not a pollutant. It is essential to all life on Earth. More CO2 is favorable for nature, greening our planet. Additional CO2 in the air has promoted growth in global plant biomass. It is also profitable for agriculture, increasing the yields of crops worldwide.
Global warming has not increased natural disasters
There is no statistical evidence that global warming is intensifying hurricanes, floods, droughts and suchlike natural disasters, or making them more frequent. However, there is ample evidence that CO2mitigation measures are as damaging as they are costly.
Climate policy must respect scientific and economic realities
There is no climate emergency. Therefore, there is no cause for panic and alarm. We strongly oppose the harmful and unrealistic net-zero CO2 policy proposed for 2050. Go for adaptation instead of mitigation; adaptation works whatever the causes are.
Real science should allow all sides of any given debate to flourish.
There should be no such thing as “the science is settled”, or “a scientific consensus exists…”
The late Michael Crichton – who graduated summa cum laude from Harvard College, received his MD from Harvard Medical School, taught anthropology at Cambridge University, and wrote at MIT – once observed: “If it’s consensus, it isn’t science. If it’s science, it isn’t consensus.”
In other words, we should always question everything and challenge prevailing narratives, even if that means being subject to ridicule or being assigned absurd labels such as ‘climate deniers’ or ‘conspiracy theorists’.
Sure, there are real threats that plague our natural environment and we should all strive to be good stewards of the environment, but that does not exclude our collective obligation to be properly informed and have the courage to speak out when needed.
2. Why is the Climate Change agenda so important?
An honest examination of Climate Change would be incomplete without looking at its principal motivation, or raison d’être.
Why are the powers-that-be so interested in this Climate Change agenda?
The answer to that is relatively simple. This crisis serves a very unique and critical purpose. As it has been fabricated by the same types who have perpetrated many other crises (war, pandemics, etc.), their ultimate goal here is to provide a mechanism by which they can tax and collect exorbitant sums of money from the masses (business and individuals).
This money is required to pay the interest (and original capital) resulting from the excessive orgies of monetary debt they have issued over the last several decades by excessive money printing.
World debt as of October 20, 2022 amounts to over $72 trillion dollars.

While the United States accounts for a large portion of this debt, Canada also has a significant portion at over C$1.1 trillion according to the Canadian Taxpayers Federation:

Somebody has to pay for it all, and they rather it be you and me than them, even though it is all their making.
They are part of a network of financial elites, or an International Banking Cabal if you prefer – spearheaded by the Bank for International Settlements (the central bank of central banks), the International Monetary Fund (IMF), The European Central Bank, and all other central banks around the world which are private corporations who serve the interests of their real masters, not the governments and the people.

We are talking about the equivalent of $US trillions of debt that needs to be repaid; and one of the only means by which this can be done (other than re-issuing more debt to pay the existing debt – which they have carelessly done over the last decade or so) is through taxation.
Relatedly, the author will demonstrate later in this exposé just how much they are poised to collect through Carbon and Climate-related taxes (to pay for this decades-long swindle).
Lastly, it is no coincidence as to why we are seeing massive inflation around the world these days. The financial system is oversaturated with debt and its effects on the credit markets is causing massive disruptions and volatility.
And it’s about to get a lot worse.
3. Carbon Markets, the WEF and other Pushers of Climate Doom…
Sadly, the elitist forces pushing the Climate Change agenda are steadfastly and stubbornly determined to propagate it on a global scale using all means and connections at their disposable \u2013 which are significantly substantial, to say the least. And they have been doing so unabatedly for the past several years \u2013 especially though supranational and globalist organizations such as the United Nations (UN) and the World Economic Forum (WEF).Bill Gates and Mark Carney figure among some of their most outspoken peddlers. While the former has been unashamedly pushing the Climate Change agenda (as well as population control through eugenics and vaccines), the latter has been one of its key architects working frenziedly in the dark shadows of our financial system.
Both Gates and Carney are mongering merchants of the Net Zero lunacy.
In short, they seek a zero, yes 0, greenhouse gas (CO2) emissions target which is absolute nonsense, for C02 is an essential building block of nature and life itself. Without it, we would not exist.
These merchants are huckstering this folly, for without it, they peddle, the world will come to an end.
In this regard, they are pushing two key target dates for implementation: 2030 and 2050 by which the whole planet – all governments, companies, and individuals need to completely cease producing CO2.
This is absolute madness.
And the fact that most of the planet is going along with this hoodwinking mass psychosis is quite troubling and disheartening.
Are the masses completely disconnected from reality?
For the reader to fully grasp the remainder of this exposition, we must turn our attention back to its principal architect – Mark Carney.
Who is Mark Carney?
As Daniel Craig, Roger Moore, Sean Connery – pick-your-favorite – is the quintessential James Bond, Mark Carney is the quintessential elite banker.
Former governor to The Bank of Canada (2008-2013) as well as The Bank of England (2013-2020), Carney thereafter took on a specialised role – United Nations' special envoy on climate action and climate finance.
This is a post specifically designed to construct the complex apparatus by which all publicly-listed companies and financial institutions will be required to submit climate and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) data to their respective national regulators, lest they be penalized and shut out of the financial and credit markets altogether.
From the CBC article [emphasis added]:
“The Bank of England said Carney would seek to make the impact of climate change central to financial reporting, risk management and the calculation of returns ahead of a global summit in Glasgow in November 2020.”“The disclosures of climate risk must become comprehensive, climate risk management must be transformed, and investing for a net-zero world must go mainstream," Carney said in a statement.
Early last year, Carney appeared amongst a panel to discuss Carbon Markets at the World Economic Forum (WEF) ; the talk was titled Carbon Markets: A Conversation with Bill Gates, Mark Carney, Annette Nazareth and Bill Winters. In it, Carney reiterated the importance of reaching the [impossible] absolute net zero target (of CO2 emissions). In no uncertain terms, he exclaimed the goal sought, namely “the climate disclosures in main accounts [of companies]”.
As an interesting side note about this talk, Bill Gates claimed that there was a total of 51 billion tons of emissions (CO2) to account for (yearly) and that each ton is priced (in tradable carbon credit markets) at US$400.
Quick math suggests that they inherently consider this total carbon market to represent a stunning 20 quadrillion and 400 billion dollars (i.e., 51b tons @ $400 per ton). And if we are to surmise that this is what they intend to account for with regards to carbon/climate reporting and taxation, we can deduce that it would represent a potential tax grab of US$728 billion per year until the year 2050. Now we are talking about some serious gravy train!
What is perhaps even more revealing is the fact that Mark Carney was the former chair of the Financial Stability Board (FSB) from 2011 to 2018.
The FSB, headquartered in Basel (Switzerland) and affiliated with the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), is an international body that monitors and makes recommendations about the global financial system.
In his position as chair of the FSB and amidst the Great Financial Crisis of 2007-8, Carney, also a former Goldman Sachs executive, used his power and influence to protect his bankster buddies at HSBC (who had committed financial crimes) from prosecution during a post-crisis Parliamentary Inquiry into the matter.
