Heartland Institute accuses 'climate alarmists' of exploiting COVID-19 pandemic to advance agenda

The conservative Heartland Institute released a report on Tuesday in which it criticized leading politicians, activists, and media outlets for using the coronavirus to push their environmental agenda.

"Not surprisingly coronavirus alarm has pushed most other issues and concerns out of the news ⎯ much to the dismay of climate alarmists," said Steve Milloy of the Heartland Institute. "But the alarmists aren’t taking displacement by coronavirus lying down. In fact, many climate alarmists are trying to use coronavirus as a means of advancing their agenda. They are trying to surf it."

The report, published on ClimateRealism.com and Heartland.org, comes amid complaints that Democrats have been trying to shoehorn some of their agenda, like emissions reductions, into legislation designed to relieve the virus' economic burden. Titled "Never Waste a Crisis," it focuses on tweets, which range from asserting the coronavirus had a "silver lining" to others in which people attribute clearing skies or water to the lack of economic activity resulting from the virus' spread.

The Green’s objective with unrealistic regulations and fuel economy laws was to destroy the United State’s economy by forcing us to give up oil. Instead, industry adapted and cars began getting crazy good fuel economy. Increasing fuel economy was never the objective, destroying America’s wealth and advantages was the objective. So, they began pushing us to electric cars and windmills. Until we address the real problem, anti-Americanism, we can never rest. Even if the entire economy converted and still ran, the Green’s would demand some other change to destroy it.

If anything, the Agenda 21/30 part of the NWO/Climate Change Conspiracy has multiplied the effects of the pandemic. Look at the Stack and Pack living aspects of Agenda 21/30 coupled with the required usage of crowded public transportation. Just look at the hot spots in America .... the 20 largest Progressive Ghettos with their PC governments.

Perhaps if Democrats had been worrying about real threats instead of climate change, we would be in much better shape to deal with the Coronavirus, which is a real threat.

The ecoterrorists pulled the same BS after 9/11, when airlines were grounded.

Climate Alarmists have hijacked some not-insignificant portion of the CDC.

Search at CDC.gov for Climate change. Returns 5595 hits.

How is this in the charter for the CDC? Total misuse of funding.
