Kamala Harris has just struck fear into the hearts of many freedom-loving Americans by announcing that her 2024 running mate is globalist climate-radical Gov. Tim Walz. If elected vice president, Walz, the Democrat governor of Minnesota, wants to push for Americans to pay a so-called “carbon tax” to ensure that the United States complies with the collectivist goals of the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) “Net Zero” agenda. Walz is hoping to continue with the green agenda policies that he’s been pushing in Minnesota but on a national level. As governor, Walz signed bills requiring Minnesota to abandon affordable and reliable...

The government has warned livestock farmers in Denmark they will be taxed on the amount of farts and burps from their cows, sheep, and pigs. From 2030, farmers will be taxed for their fatulent (sic) livestock, becoming the first country in the world to do so as it targets methane emissions to fight climate change. Taxation Minister Jeppe Bruus said the aim is part of the globalist push to supposedly reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 70 percent from 1990 levels by 2030. Danish livestock farmers will face a punitive financial imposition of 300 kroner ($43) per ton of carbon dioxide...

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberals now stare oblivion in the face. In 1993, just-retired prime minister Brian Mulroney’s Progressive Conservatives, after winning two majorities, were reduced to only two seats in Parliament. The PCs had been competitive in every election since their creation in 1940. They traded government with the Liberals through 16 elections. They had imposed the Goods and Services Tax (GST). Voters saw it every time they bought anything. It replaced the usefully invisible Manufacturer’s Sales Tax. Today’s Liberals have their own tax disaster. The carbon levy is at least as unpopular today as the GST was in...

‘NO Climate Crisis’ Says Coalition of 1,600 Actual ScientistsThe United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is ‘one of the worst sources of dangerous misinformation’ “There is ‘NO Climate Crisis’ says a coalition of 1,600 actual scientists” in a recent letter to the California Air Resources Board. In fact, the scientists find that “California is in no danger of unusual drought: The annual precipitation in California has fluctuated greatly over the last 150 years, with only a slight decrease.” California also has record low levels of air pollution that are below the threshold of human health effects, James E. Enstrom,...

"I didn't buy groceries last pay period" "You know why?" "I currently am being charged over $200 a month, for a CARBON TAX" "There's an extra $40 on my gas bill and $187 extra on my hydro bill" "Canadians are suffering" "I fill my SUV to go to work and it used to cost me $71. Now it costs me $98" "It shouldn't have to be this way" "It's sad" "I work full time" https://media2.giphy.com/media/3oEjI8Kq5HhZLCrqBW/giphy.gif

Anger over the increase to the federal carbon price led to protests across the country Monday, including several that stalled traffic on the Trans-Canada Highway and at provincial border crossings. Ottawa’s planned $15-per-tonne increase in the federal consumer carbon price came into effect Monday, bringing the levy to $80 per tonne. That translates to the carbon price on fuel rising from about $0.14 to almost $0.18, bringing a litre of gasoline up 3.3 cents per litre on average. Speaking outside a gas station in Nanaimo, B.C., Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre called Monday’s increase a “cruel April Fool’s Day joke on...

Protests erupted across the country against the federal carbon tax on Monday — the same day it rose by 23 per cent — while Canada's only Liberal provincial leader pressed for an emergency meeting to discuss alternative ways to cut emissions. In a letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Andrew Furey called for an emergency meeting of leaders throughout Canada, arguing the program is too costly for his province and doesn't work as intended. Instead, Furey is urging the federal government to make "bold investments" in infrastructure and incentives akin to the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act...

The startup electric car company Fisker said this week that it is halting the production of its vehicles to raise $150 million in emergency funds as it grapples with a cash crunch spurred by a low demand for electric vehicles. The California-based company, which says its mission is to “create the world’s most emotional and sustainable electric vehicles,” has barely produced over a thousand electric vehicles worldwide for the year. “The company has approximately 4,700 vehicles in its currently inventory, carried over from 2023 and including 2024 production,” the company said. “While it has not completed an NRV analysis for...

Forecourt fuel prices will increase from midnight tonight — adding €1.28 and €1.48 to the cost of a 60-liter fill of petrol and auto diesel respectively. There will be a €7.50 increase on the current rate of carbon tax that is applied per tonne of carbon dioxide emissions by carbon fuels. This will bring the carbon tax rate up to €56.00 per tonne. The increase in carbon tax will subsequently be applied to all other carbon fuels, including solid fuels and home heating oil, but not until 1 May 2024. It will add 90 cents to the cost of a...

@disclosetv NEW - Globalist Macron calls for a new "international taxation" on top of current taxes to finance "climate efforts."

RUSH: I had this story yesterday and I didn’t get to it. It’s a Bloomberg story based on an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal by James A. Baker and George Shultz. Now, these two guys date back to the Republican Reagan administration. They are considered Republican royalty. They are called even by the Drive-Bys, they have so much respect now, they’re called elder statesmen in the Republican Party. And according to the Drive-Bys, Democrats, the Republicans don’t have any statesmen, period, but these two guys have written an op-ed pushing a carbon tax. And they had a meeting with...

Would you like to pay a carbon tax every time that you turn your heater on? What about every time that you fill up your vehicle with gasoline? Incredibly, this will soon be what life is like in Europe. When I first heard that the EU plans to impose direct carbon taxes on individuals, I thought that it must be just another false Internet rumor. But it isn’t a false rumor. News sources in Europe are reporting on it, and you can find information about this plan on the official website of the European Parliament. I don’t know why the...

At a Washington Post webinar on Thursday, Romney spoke about the necessity of fighting climate change. In his view, the most useful tool would be a carbon tax, which would push the private sector to innovate towards clean energy. “The folks at MIT, as you probably know, built a model saying, 'Okay, what things that we do, will actually reduce emissions, reduce temperatures or hold temperatures from going up as fast as they have it. What can we do?' And the number one thing, and frankly, the only thing that had a major impact was having a price on carbon,...

President Trump is taking “woke” head on.And peak woke is the climate hoax, which is really just another way to extort money from the American people.This is one of his best clips, watch here:President Trump: "we have to defeat the climate hoaxsters!" pic.twitter.com/6ElugFGpY5— DailyNoah.com (@DailyNoahNews) November 23, 2022He’s 100% right!Always fighting for America.The scam has been exposed:No human experiences 'climate change' in a lifetime, only seeing 'seasonal' weather. Climate change takes hundreds, thousands or tens of thousands of years. These forces are not short-term – for example, it takes a thousand years to lay down 1cm of sedimentary rock. It's...

Op-Ed by Dan FournierKey Takeaways:The Climate Change narrative is, for the most part, an exaggerated fabrication concocted by powerful interests with dubious agendas that doesn’t hold up to scientific scrutiny.Starting in 2035 no new gas or diesel cars & trucks will be allowed.The Canadian Oil & Gas sector will be put extinct by the year 2050.Small- & medium-sized businesses will find it increasingly difficult to get loans due to net-zero policies.Canadian consumers will be greatly taxed to support all the climate-related policies and measures that are currently being implemented in Canada and elsewhere.As this exposé will be somewhat comprehensive, it...

In 2007, the U.S. Congress mandated the blending of biofuels such as corn-based ethanol into gasoline. One of the top goals: reducing greenhouse gas emissions. But today, the nation´s ethanol plants produce more than double the climate-damaging pollution, per gallon of fuel production capacity, than the nation´s oil refineries, according to a Reuters analysis of federal data. The average ethanol plant chuffed out 1,187 metric tons of carbon emissions per million gallons of fuel capacity in 2020, the latest year data is available. The average oil refinery, by contrast, produced 533 metric tons of carbon. The ethanol plants´ high emissions...

Each ton of carbon dioxide that exits a smokestack or tailpipe is doing far more damage than what governments take into account, researchers conclude in a scientific paper published Thursday. Currently, the United States government uses a price of $51 per ton of carbon dioxide emitted, but the researchers wrote in the journal Nature that the price should be $185 per ton — 3.6 times higher than the current U.S. standard. “Our results suggest that we are vastly underestimating the harm from each additional ton of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere,” said Kevin Rennert, a study author. Rennert and colleagues...

Millions of Ontarians can expect to get some extra cash from the federal government on Friday. The first round of the Climate Action Incentive Payment, a tax-free rebate to offset the cost of the federal carbon price initiative, will be automatically deposited for eligible residents. The payments issued on July 15 will go to individuals in Ontario, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, who are at least 19 years of age. Other provinces have the funds directed back to the provincial government. The climate action incentive was previously a refundable tax credit claimed annually on income tax returns, but the payment will...

There is no more effective way for President Biden to meet his aggressive climate goals than a carbon tax. The timing seems ripe: his Treasury Secretary, Janet Yellen, has been a prominent advocate. Big business has flipped from opponent to proponent. Republican opposition is no longer monolithic. But a carbon tax lacks support where it matters most: with Mr. Biden and the Democratic base. Progressive Democrats claim a carbon tax and its close cousin, cap-and-trade, are unfair to the poor and racial minorities. And a carbon tax appears to conflict with Mr. Biden’s promise not to raise taxes on any...
