NEW ORLEANS - Pumping carbon dioxide into the air makes the planet greener; the United Nations puts out fake science about climate change to control the global energy market; and wind and solar energy are simply “dumb”.
These are among the messages that flowed from the America First Energy Conference in New Orleans this week, hosted by some of the country’s most vocal climate change doubters - and attended by a handful of Trump administration officials.
The day-long conference reflected the political rise of global warming skeptics in Donald Trump’s America that is occurring despite mounting scientific evidence – including from U.S. government agencies - that burning oil, coal, and natural gas is heating the planet and leading to drought, floods, wildfires, and more frequent powerful storms.
A similar conference blasting the link between fossil fuels and climate change last year drew then-Environmental Protection Agency chief Scott Pruitt, who was appointed by Trump to reverse Obama-era climate initiatives.
The U.S. officials who joined included White House Special Assistant Brooke Rollins, Interior Department Assistant Secretary Joe Balash, and Jason Funes, an assistant in the office of external affairs at Interior. They praised the administration’s moves to clear the way for oil industry activity, and steered clear of commenting on climate change.
But their presence gave climate change doubters at the conference a boost: “It’s a step in the right direction,” said self-described climate change doubter Roy Spencer, a principal research scientist at the University of Alabama, referring to the U.S. officials in attendance.

Check,check,check and check.
I can’t wait to see the faces when it comes time to dispose of outdated solar panels......the same with batteries for electric cars
"This is probably the most difficult task we have ever given ourselves, which is to intentionally transform the economic development model, for the first time in human history.
"This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the industrial revolution. That will not happen overnight and it will not happen at a single conference on climate change, be it COP 15, 21, 40 - you choose the number. It just does not occur like that. It is a process, because of the depth of the transformation."
--Christiane Figueres, Executive Secretary of UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change)
Bzzzz. Wrong. I don't know anyone who doubts the climate changes. What we doubt, because of the agendas driving it, and the lack of sound scientific method in these studies, is the claim that climate change is human caused.
“mounting scientific evidence – including from U.S. government agencies - that burning oil, coal, and natural gas is heating the planet and leading to drought, floods, wildfires, and more frequent powerful storms.”
BS.
Oh, how convenient, that steady reliable sources of energy are are all “evil”.
Yes, solar and wind are “dumb”. They are dumb as long as there is no good way to store any energy, and so it takes gazillions of acres to provide reasonable energy.
Personally I doubt the stupid premises behind some of these hand-wringings:
- climate change of 1 or 2 deg C over a century is bad
- climate change has never happened
- climate change kills all
Indeed.
But then, maybe by then they’ll have figured out how to dispose better.
Chicken Littles, all.
Think about this. We know this planet has had massive natural earth-based and space-based disasters through time, and yet, life has always found a way. It may be different life, but it is life, none-the-less. We've had hotter, colder, drier, wetter, windier, more CO2, less CO2, more CO, less CO, more methane, less methane, and life still got by. Some things died out. Some things lived, and flourished. At the most extreme temperatures and chemical concentrations, we find life on this planet.
A nice reminder that “Climate Change” alarmism is not, nor has it ever been, about climate or its change for whatever reason.
It is, and always has been, nothing more than the usual leftist lie of a slogan to mobilize the stupid and unthinking into installing a global government.
A large part of that drive has centered around the purposeful destruction of the economy of the west in general, and the US of A in particular.
Bingo.
Al Reuters is dumb and fake
Solar and wind would not be dumb if used to manufacture hydrogen gas in a nation wide, flexible storage of the hydrogen. It’s what they use to make rocket fuel.
Most of these articles reference “Mounting Evidence”, Where is it?? if you follow their references it takes you to more articles that spew the same crap in circle jerk fashion. WHERE IS THE “Mounting Evidence”, hell ANY evidence??
