Revealed: US climate denial group working with European far-right parties
The Guardian ^ | 01/22/2025 | Helena Horton, Sam Bright and Clare Carlile

Posted on 01/25/2025 7:47:50 AM PST by BenLurkin

Climate science deniers from a US-based thinktank have been working with rightwing politicians in Europe to campaign against environmental policies...

For the past two years, representatives of the thinktank have been working with MEPs and have spoken in the European parliament to campaign against bills, including the nature restoration law. They have sought to cast doubt on established climate science, and connected climate-sceptic MEPs from Poland, Hungary and Austria to help coordinate campaigns against proposed environmental laws.

In the past, it has compared people who believe in global heating to the Unabomber, the US terrorist jailed for killing three people and injuring many others, as well as branding the concept of human-caused climate change “fake news”.

In October, Taylor visited Poland at the invitation of its Solidarity union, which has been campaigning against the closure of the country’s coalmines. There, he met the former prime minister Beata Szydło, leaders of heavy industry and agriculture, as well as scientists at one of the country’s top universities, delivering a presentation that sowed doubt on climate science. Heartland and Solidarity then signed a joint declaration claiming that actions to address the climate crisis “aim solely to provoke widespread fear and a sense of threat, especially among young people, without finding – so far – confirmation in scientific research”.

“In our role as gadfly, we have helped foment dissent and encouraged and publicised protests against higher energy taxes, climate restrictions, and wind and solar subsidies.

“Based on the fact that a number of energy taxes in different EU countries have been delayed, reduced, or scuttled altogether and climate policies have been modified to reduce their economic impact, there is at least some evidence our efforts have borne positive policy fruit.”

What is a “far right party”?

Also, I’ve never heard of a “climate denial group”. Is that a wing of the flat earth society?

“They have sought to cast doubt on established climate science...”

Hmmm. Let’s see what a respected climate scientist has to say about “established climate science”:

BTW, I consider that to be the best video on climate change In my substantial collection of saved climate change videos.

I am not denying that climate doesn’t exist, what I understand of it is that it has been generally warming up since the last “Iceage” or glacial period.

The way I understand it we are living presently in what has been determined to be as an inter-glacial period. And it is my understanding that there have been four or five “Iceages” that geologists have determined, so... it is dynamic and pissibly cyclic.

What is interesting is that this is the first time in Earth’s history that taxpayers have been fleeced because of this cyclic pattern our planet repeats. Wouldn’t that be considered criminal?

“Climate science deniers from a US-based thinktank”
Translation - some of the few remaining humans who have not had their brains destroyed by leftist propaganda.

I suspect Europeans are more bothered by their $500 plus electric bills than people who don’t even have any political power go to lunch with.

LOL...

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black! This is EXACTLY what the leftists have been doing for decades. The many leftist / marxist groups all get connected and coordinate to pass insane environmental laws to destroy Western Civilization.

Up until I was in my mid 20’s, the world was heading straight for a cataclysmic ICE AGE threatening All Life as we know it from the pollution of our vehicles. Suddenly, almost like a Magic Bullet, Catalytic Converters and electronic fuel injection became standard on our vehicles and magically changed the science and began heating the planet and is now threatening another mass extinction due to Spontaneous Combustion on a planetary scale.

Am I a denier?

Same as THE COMING ICE AGE was a hoax back in the 1970s.

Or the infamous “Ozone Hole” catastrophe that magically went away. I began to distrust the mainstream media many, many years ago. I turned of the TV for good when I was 30 because I was disgusted with the propaganda from the “News.”
Young Blennos was right.

And, by the way, inspiring photos in your “about” page.

“Take note, Guardian. Global Warming is a hoax, a scam, utter bunkum. It always was”

They know that but they’re hardened communists and are pushing that to weaken and ultimately destroy Western Civilization. They’re not misguided or mistaken. They’re evil.
