Canned climate official was right, consumers suffer the most.

Remember David Ismay?

He was [Massachusetts’] $130,000 a year climate change czar — a mini-John Kerry — who was forced to resign after he was inadvertently caught telling the truth.

He revealed how the Green anti-fossil-fuel movement wants to punish you to save the planet.

Ismay, speaking to a virtual meeting of the Vermont Climate Council last year on gas and oil emissions, said, “Sixty percent of our emissions that need to be reduced come from you — the person across the street, the senior on fixed income.”

If that was not damaging enough, he added, “There is no bad guy left, at least in Massachusetts, to point the finger at, turn the screws on and, you know, break their will so we have to break your will. I can’t even say that publicly.”

Unfortunately for Ismay a U.S. Naval Academy graduate and Navy Seal, his comments were recorded by the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance, a conservative group opposed to Gov. Charlie Baker’s Transportation and Climate Change Initiative and offshore wind farms.

Ismay resigned after Baker took issue with his remarks.

Yet, in retrospect, Ismay was telling the truth when he talked about who would carry the burden for Joe Biden’s half-baked, premature and ill-conceived war on fossil fuel.

In his equivocating letter of resignation, he said, “Although my comments were interpreted by some as placing the burden of climate change on hardworking families and vulnerable populations, my intent was the opposite.”

The truth is that it is the hardworking families of the country who are paying for Biden’s ill-planned war on fossil fuel. They are paying for it every time they gas up or go to the grocery store.

Ismay should have stuck to his guns. He was right before he was wrong.

Who else could pay for this ridiculous “transformation” other than the middle class and poor? The rich and government bastards don’t give a sh!t and have the “Let them eat cake” attitude. 90% of the nation will suffer grievously. People have been thoroughly hoodwinked to believe we can magically transform at zero cost to pixie dust and unicorn toots to power the nation. This is what happens when you dumb down education so far that people don’t have the slightest clue about technology or math or physics.

In 2014 - Obama asked banks to shift lending from oil drilling to Green energy. It worked. 2015 - 90 billion 2021 - 44 billion.

No drilling, no gas and oil, no fossil fuel fertilizer.

Next year when people are prostrate over global FAMINE you will know why it happened.

It is very possible that we WOULD NOT be in a recession right now if our energy supply had continued under Trump.

It is that big of a factor and Putin had nothing to do with it. This began right after Biden was inaugurated.

It’s coming for sure. A senseless and unnecessary tragedy that will not do anything to impact global temperatures but do everything to enrich and further the goals of globalists everywhere.

Criminal. That is what it is.

I wonder if this Ismay is related to the infamous coward of the same name who fled the Titanic.

Kind of ironic that one oversaw a sinking ship and another the sinking Green movement.

That and a stupid war started by his VP and now President, Biden.

A war that never needed to be!

A war with a predictable outcome.

A war where any prudent cost benefit and risk consideration would have told us not to go that route.

Why do you think Sri Lanka is on fire right now?

Our MSM will not give the person responsible for this mess the credit he deserves! After all, they are essentially his and the Democrat party's unofficial PR agencies.

But wait until fall or at the latest winter. By then even our Euro friends (where we do care what happens) will be in a serious pinch.

It’s pure evil.

Excellent post.

Winter on both sides of the Atlantic is going to be uncomfortable at various levels.

Green initiatives have made the rich richer and the poor poorer, and the poor don't understand that.

Who do you think gets these massive government contracts to build wind turbines, zero emission cars, massive recycling programs, solar farms???

This is a case where a few are making a lot, while the masses end up paying for the stupidity, and best of all, the stupids actually have been taught to think they are “good people” for being on board with it. Hahaha

Yep, they will require you to never travel more than 50 miles from where you were born for your entire life.

I once met an old-timer in Vermont who made that claim to me!

Biden says, "Russia Russia Russia".
