Cows Do NOT Cause ‘Climate Change,’ Top Study Confirms
Frank Bergman May 15, 2024 - 12:54 pm A bombshell new study has debunked the globalist narrative that emissions from cows are causing “climate change” while proving that cattle herds actually lower methane gas levels in the atmosphere. In recent years, unelected foreign organizations such as the World Economic Forum (WEF) and the United Nations (UN) have been demonizing the agriculture industry while calling for limits, or even bans, on the general public’s consumption of meat and dairy products. The WEF, UN, and green agenda politicians argue that methane gasses from cattle, or “cow farts,” cause “global warming.” This so-called “settled science” on alleged cattle emissions has led to increasing scrutiny of farmers around the world. Global governments have responded by ramping up regulations for the agriculture industry in an effort to shut farms down. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimates that 11.1% of emissions worldwide come from livestock production. The FAO released a report last year urging Americans to eat less meat. The UN argues that if people “fight climate change” by eating less meat, there will be less demand for cows. If there are fewer cows, there will be fewer emissions, according to the UN. However, new research from Alltech and Archbold suggests that these anti-cow claims from globalists are a hoax. According to the new study, blaming cows for methane emissions ignores cattle’s relationship with the land. The researchers found that, if grazing cattle were removed from pastures, emissions would actually go up, not down. Besides trying to convince people to change their diets so we can get rid of more cows, other efforts seek to attack the emissions at the source. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation awarded a $4.8 million grant to a London-based company to develop gas masks for cows. The masks are a similar concept to carbon capture technology. Other research is looking into food additives that go into the cows’ feed. Bill Gates is also pushing for cows to be genetically “modified” to advance this agenda. The additives seek to reduce the amount of methane emissions coming out of the animal. In Ireland, dairy farmers were looking at possibly having to kill a lot of healthy cattle in order to comply with the WEF’s “Net Zero” emission reduction targets. Dr. Vaughn Holder, research project manager for beef nutrition at Alltech, and Dr. Betsey Boughton, director of agroecology at Archbold, studied the impacts that cattle production has on the ecosystem on a wetlands pasture at Buck Island Ranch. The ranch is about 150 miles northwest of Miami, Florida. The researchers found that 19%-30% of methane emissions were from the cattle. However, the rest of the methane was from the wetland soils. If the cows are removed, it actually increases the amount of methane the wetland ecosystems give off, the research shows. Globalists argue that methane is more potent in terms of “greenhouse warming” than carbon dioxide. Yet, methane only lasts about 12 years. So reducing methane can have a more immediate impact on warming than reducing carbon dioxide, according to the study. Cattle emissions are often demonized in a similar way to fossil fuel emissions, the researchers note. When we burn fossil fuels, the emissions go into the air. So eliminating a coal-fired power plant, for example, removes an emissions source, which produces a drop in emissions. “There is a far more complex process in agriculture than it is in fossil fuel systems,” Holder said. Ruminants, as they’re called, which includes cattle and sheep, have a large chamber in front of their stomach that acts as a fermentation factory. Inside are bacteria, yeasts, fungi, and other microorganisms that help the animals digest grasses that humans can’t. Methane is a natural waste product of that process. In a series of videos on the Buck Island research, Holder explains that cattle take a lot of plants humans can’t eat. The cows turn them into edible proteins humans can consume, increasing global food security. WATCH: The animals also consume a lot of food byproducts that can’t be used for human consumption. For example, orange pulp used in orange juice production can be fed to livestock. Those byproducts can be used in composting, but composting increases emissions five times more than feeding it to dairy cows, Holder said. If byproducts are disposed of in landfills, the emissions go up 50 times over feeding it to dairy cows. It is possible to put additives in the cows’ diet to inhibit that methane production, but at about 30% inhibition, Holder explained, you start to see negative effects. There are some viable strategies to reduce emissions with additives, but that can only go so far. Additionally, cattle are part of a carbon cycle. If studies only model the emissions coming from the animal, the rest of the ecosystem is being ignored, Holder said. The study notes that the ecosystem is absorbing carbon as a result of the animals being on the land. The research alliance between Archbold and Alltech is increasing their understanding of this process, Dr. Holder explained. “We weren’t looking at food production from an ecosystem standpoint before we came together with Betsey’s [Boughton] group,” Holder said. “So it really has adjusted our perspective on how big we need to be looking at these systems in order to get this right.” When cattle graze on land, the plants prioritize root growth over the plant matter above the surface. The deeper the roots, the more plants sequester carbon in the soil through the photosynthesis process. Grazing also removes grasses from a pasture, reducing the dead plant matter that falls into the soil and decomposes, which also produces greenhouse gasses. “It’s a natural process,” Dr. Boughton said. “We’re not saying that’s bad. Wetlands are good. “That’s just a natural part of a wetland.” At the Buck Island Ranch, Boughton and her team measured the amount of greenhouse gasses emitted on a pasture that had no grazing. They compared it to pasture that had grazing. What they found is that cattle grazing ends up as a carbon sink, meaning there’s a net reduction in the amount of emissions from that pasture compared to pastures with no cows. “From my perspective, it’s more of a proof-of-concept type evaluation,” Holder said. “We’re showing that we need to be looking at more than just emissions if we want to have a decent idea what’s happening in those ecosystems and what the effects are on global warming or food security or whatever it might be.” There’s a lot of carbon locked up in the soil, he said. The exact impact of removing grazing from those lands isn’t fully understood. “It’s sort of an unintended consequence if we pull animals off the land and we don’t know what effect the next land use is going to have on those carbon stocks,” Holder said. The livestock industry has long held that it’s being unfairly demonized in the effort to stop “climate change.” The Alltech-Archbold research is showing that farmers are correct and the globalist narrative is nothing more than a hoax. This news comes after a recent peer-reviewed study provided conclusive scientific evidence proving that carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in Earth’s atmosphere cannot cause “global warming.” Dr. Jan Kubicki led a group of world-renowned Polish scientists to study the impact of increases in CO2 emissions on the Earth’s global temperatures. However, not only did they find that higher levels of CO2 made no difference, but they also proved that it simply isn’t possible for increases in carbon dioxide to cause temperatures to rise. Kubicki and his team recently published three papers which all conclude that Earth’s atmosphere is already “saturated” with carbon dioxide. This saturation means that, even at greatly increased levels of CO2, the “greenhouse gas” will not cause temperatures to rise. link

Bill Gates Pushes Vaccinations in Food Supply to ‘Fight Climate Change’
Frank Bergman May 16, 2024 - 12:54 pm Billionaire Bill Gates has been exposed as the driving force behind a shadowy organization that is pushing for governments to begin vaccinating the food supply in order to supposedly “fight climate change.” The Microsoft co-founder has been quietly funneling vast sums of cash into a firm seeking to vaccinate all cows in cattle herds around the world that are destined for the food supply. According to a report from Axios, Gates is the leader of an investment fund behind ArkeaBio. ArkeaBio is a Boston pharmaceutical company behind a new livestock vaccine. According to the company, the vaccine will help reduce global emissions from livestock and “save the planet” from “climate change.” Gates and other unelected globalist groups such as the World Economic Forum (WEF) and the United Nations (UN), claim that methane from cows is one of the main contributors to the so-called “climate crisis.” In recent years, Gates, the WEF, and the UN have been demonizing the agriculture industry while calling for limits, or even bans, on the general public’s consumption of meat and dairy products. The WEF, UN, and green agenda politicians argue that methane gasses from cattle, or “cow farts,” cause “global warming.” The pharma firm claims its vaccine reduces livestock methane emissions by suppressing cow farts. The report reveals that Gates pumped $26.5 million into an investment fund he founded which was then funneled to ArkeaBio in the form of venture capital funding. The Gates-funded company claims cows create more than 5% of global “greenhouse gasses.” Vaccines could be a relatively low-cost, scalable solution, particularly as food demand increases. However, while the idea of tainting the food supply with vaccines causes outrage among many, Axios argues that the general public has now begun to accept the idea. “The whole thing feels a little dystopian — giving animals injections so they cook the planet a little less before we cook some of them — but agribusiness sailed over the dystopian hurdle long ago,” the report states. Gates, who isn’t a scientist or a doctor, is notorious for his interest in vaccines, “climate change,” and the food supply. He was a staunch advocate of vaccinating the public with Covid mRNA shots, despite the risks. As Slay News reported, Gates has been increasingly setting his sights on meat consumption among the general public and seeking to infuse this agenda with his other interests. According to Gates and his globalist “green agenda” allies, beef cattle herds are “destroying the planet” due to their alleged “emissions.” Gates argues that the only solution to stop the claimed impact of cattle on “global warming” is to either “modify” cows or eliminate them. In a recent episode of his podcast “Unconfuse Me With Bill Gates,” the host unveiled his plans for using artificial intelligence (AI) to target the food supply. Gates said he believes that AI would have a clear role to play in fighting “climate change.” Regarding the food supply, Gates revealed that AI will be able to develop a solution to solve the “problem” of meat consumption. He revealed plans to use AI to genetically modify cows to produce less methane. Gates revealed that the long-term plan is to use AI to eliminate cows altogether by using the technology to develop a way to manufacture “meat without the cow.” Additionally, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation awarded a $4.8 million grant to a London-based company to develop gas masks for cows. The masks are a similar concept to carbon capture technology. Other research looks into food additives that go into the cows’ feed. Gates is also pushing for cows to be genetically “modified” to advance this agenda. However, despite the growing efforts to demonize the farming industry, a new study has just concluded that blaming livestock for “climate change” is a globalist hoax. As Slay News reported, the new study debunked the globalist narrative that emissions from cows are causing “climate change” while proving that cattle herds actually lower methane gas levels in the atmosphere. According to the new study, blaming cows for methane emissions ignores cattle’s relationship with the land. The researchers found that, if grazing cattle were removed from pastures, emissions would actually go up, not down. Nevertheless, the war on food doesn’t appear to going away anytime soon. link

WEF Demands Limits on Car Ownership Among General Public
Frank Bergman May 17, 2024 - 12:54 pm The unelected World Economic Forum (WEF) is calling on global governments to begin placing limits on private car ownership among the general public. The globalist WEF is demanding that regular families with more than one car should be forced to give up one of their vehicles. Despite the fact that a person can only drive one car at a time, the WEF insists that limiting the number of vehicles people can own will help to “save the planet” from “climate change.” The WEF argues that members of the public must be forced into giving up a vehicle as part of the organization’s “One Less Car” agenda. However, the agenda appears to be a stepping stone for the WEF’s long-promoted plan to eliminate all private car ownership. This week, the WEF published a new article detailing the expectations for families to begin adopting the “One Less Car” lifestyle. To support the scheme, Klaus Schwab’s Switzerland-based organization highlights a recent study in Australia. The WEF noted that Uber Australia conducted the “One Less Car” trial alongside behavioral scientists and other rideshare companies in an effort to reduce the number of cars in private hands. The article states that electric vehicles are part of the solution, but adds: “We must also shift the ‘one person, one car’ mentality.” For four weeks, 58 Australians gave up driving one of their cars and switched to using alternative forms of transportation. Participants with one car gave that up, and those with two moved to use just one, etc. Having fewer cars in the household meant they were often forced to rely on public transport or ride bikes. However, participants in the study – which was conducted by rideshare companies – conveniently appreciated being left stranded without a car to get around. “I’m continuing to see the value of not having a second car,” one of the participants said after the four-week-long study. The WEF article goes on to list “seven actions that city planners and leaders can focus on to support Australia’s green transition.” These include governments around the world implementing “policy reform towards one less car.” The globalist group further continued by arguing that policies to restrict private car ownership give citizens more choices rather than less freedom. “The full suite of city plans and strategies must pull together to end the overreliance on the private car so that all people have four-plus travel modes to choose from no matter where in the city they live, work, study or play.” In 2022, Norwegian Finance CEO and WEF speaker Kjerstin Braathen said people should be prepared to make major sacrifices to comply with the green agenda. Braathen warned that the public can expect “pain,” inflation,” and “energy shortages” due to the “climate change” agenda of the WEF and fellow globalist organization the United Nations (UN). “We need to accept that there will be some pain in the process,” Braathen said. “The pace that we need [to end climate change] will open up for missteps. “It will open up for shortages of energy. “It will create inflationary pressures, and maybe we need to start talking about that — that that pain is actually worth it.” Earlier this year, Schwab gave an address at the WEF’s annual World Governments Summit in Dubai where he laid out his vision for a ban on private car ownership. The WEF founder described a world where nobody owns their own car. Instead, the only vehicles on the roads would be those that transport elites to “your hotel and bring you to the airport.” He said that cars would be rented or shared rather than owned, describing the plan as “Uberization.” “We are not in the age of capitalism,” Schwab said. “We have entered the age of talents. “We will see the second wave of the Internet revolution; we have machine-to-machine interaction, 3D printing, and big data. “All together, these will create the tsunami of change in industry. “The first aspect of the change is ‘Uberization’ of the economy – and it will not be limited to taxis! “We will have an app for all our needs for government services. “The second dimension relates to robots and drones, and I have to congratulate you on what you’re doing on drones. It is pioneering.” Schwab added: “The new technology wave is changing who we are. “There is research going on in biology, regeneration of body parts, enzymes, and so on.” These elements of technological progress have tremendous social implications, according to Schwab. “When we meet for the 20th Government Summit, you will use an app like Uber, but not to call some driver. “An automatically guided car will come to your hotel and bring you to the airport.” “At the 10th or 15th summit, we will pay not necessarily with Bitcoin but with some virtual currency.” “We are only starting to understand what this means for government, education,” Schwab said. “Since the wave is coming so fast, governments have the obligation to prepare their people for change.” “In 2030, Los Angeles will be private car-driven free,” Schwab added. WATCH: “We need government and civil society to work together to shape the ecosystem and shape the solutions,” Schwab concluded. “It has to be done jointly.” The WEF has been pushing this agenda for several years now. In 2016, the WEF published an article announcing that the public must “say goodbye to your car.” The WEF continued by laying out a plan where car ownership is banned and people must “request access” to a government-owned vehicle. This “centralized ride-sharing service” would be paid for using “digital tokens” issued to members of the public by the government, the WEF explains. The WEF report concludes: “The time is now to begin thinking, planning, and acting together to transform our transportation system, and our cities, in a way that benefits every member of society.” link

California Legalizes ‘Human Composting’ to Fight ‘Climate Change’Frank Bergman May 24, 2024 - 12:23 pm
Democrat-controlled California has legalized the practice of composting human remains in order to “save the planet” from “climate change.” State lawmakers have already voted and passed the measure to legalize the process. The new laws come into effect in 2027, allowing liberal California residents to continue virtue signaling about “fighting global warming” even after they die. However, some of California’s eco-warrior residents are not willing to wait that long. The Los Angeles Times wrote about California resident Blaire Van Valkenburgh being one of a growing number of residents who are already composting the remains of their loved ones. “But this kind of burial — natural organic reduction — won’t be legal in California until 2027, so Van Valkenburgh paid to fly her husband’s body to Washington, the first state to legalize human composting in 2020.” Until 2027, it appears that there will be a budding industry of collaboration to facilitate compost burials for those who live in California. “ n the first of what will probably be other such collaborations, the family-owned Clarity Funerals and Cremation in Anaheim has partnered with Return Home to offer a package deal for people in Southern California who want to compost their loved ones in Washington,” the LA Times wrote.
The same outlet reported that currently, the three human composting mortuaries operating in Washington “have reported steady business from out-of-state customers, especially Californians.”
Those out-of-state customers “are either flying or driving their deceased loved ones north,” the outlet reported.
Former Assemblywoman Cristina Garcia, a Democrat, is credited for authoring California’s law.
Garcia spoke with the LA Times about her reasons for the move.
“I love the outdoors and I really want to be a tree in my afterlife,” she told the outlet.
“My family has a crypt in Mexico, where there are no trees or shade around…
“I want my soil to be used specifically for a plum tree, my favorite fruit, and my loved ones can visit me there.”
Garcia added that she wanted an earlier date than 2027 for the legalization of human composting.
However, officials needed to satisfy the state Cemetery and Funeral Bureau’s request for more time to set rules and standards.
“I didn’t want to risk it not getting passed,” Garcia said.
Human composting pioneer Katrina Spade argues that traditional burials and cremations for the dead are contributing to the so-called “climate crisis.”
Spade claims that composting human remains instead will help globalists fight “climate change.”
“The truth is, the last gesture most of us will make on this Earth is toxic,” Spade wrote in 2016, which was quoted in the article.
The news comes amid increasing pressure on the public to make sacrifices to stop “global warming.”
Meanwhile, the list of everyday items and activities that supposedly cause “climate change” continues to grow.
As Slay News reported last week, citizens in the European Union are now being told they must give up physical cash to tackle the “climate crisis.”
Financial institutions in Europe have started rolling out “digital transformations” to usher in “cashless societies” to comply with the European Central Bank’s (ECB) plan to supposedly tackle “climate change.”
As part of the ECB’s “climate and nature plan,” banks that operate in the bloc are being reviewed to ensure they are making steps toward eliminating physical cash.
The financial institutions are being subjected to on-site inspections to monitor the progress of their “digital transformations.”
To comply with the “digital transformation” goals, banks must prove they are entering into the preparation phase of the “digital euro” – the European Union’s central bank digital currency (CBDC).
In January, ECB President Christine Lagarde posted a video on social media to announce the push to digital cash as part of the bank’s “green transition.”
Lagarde said in a post on X:
“A hotter climate and nature loss are changing our lives.
“We must understand what this means for the economy to fulfill our mandate.
“With our climate and nature plan, we are intensifying our efforts to help underpin stability and support the green transition.”
For those who missed it, Lagarde’s statement is a push for eliminating cash and replacing it with a CBDC.
According to Lagarde’s video statement accompanying the post, “banknotes” contribute to “climate change.”

Gavin Newsom Calls for Defunding Police & Prisons to Fight ‘Climate Change’Frank Bergman June 6, 2024 - 11:52 am
Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom has issued a proposal that seeks to defund California’s police and prisons in an effort to tackle “climate change.” Newsom proposed major budget cuts regarding public safety, such as prisons and law enforcement as the state grapples with an eye-watering deficit. The governor is pushing for measures to defund the justice system in order to meet “climate change” goals relating to the Democrats’ Marxist “equity” agenda. The California leader’s proposed budget notes that “difficult decisions” are necessary to address the estimated $27.6 billion deficit. The massive deficit is projected to continue for years to come. In order to allocate more taxpayer money to meeting Newsom’s “global warming” targets, the budget includes a $97 million cut to trial court operations. It also slashes $10 million from the Department of Justice’s Division of Law Enforcement and more than $80 million that would have gone to the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. Newsom’s office initially claimed there were “no cuts to law enforcement.” “The budget proposes numerous ways to make government more efficient and reduce costs for taxpayers, including cuts on inmate spending,” a Newsom spokesperson said in a statement. “Since Governor Newsom took office in 2019, the state has made record investments in law enforcement, including $1.1 billion to tackle crime, support police, and hold criminals accountable.” However, an official from the Department of Finance acknowledged a 1.6% reduction in the state’s Department of Justice’s overall proposed budget. “What’s happening in California is just the greatest disrespect of taxpayer’s resources in the history of America,” Florida’s chief financial officer, Jimmy T. Patronis, said in a statement. “They’re in a panic. They’re in a free fall. “They’re looking for money to make up this enormous budget deficit they’ve got right now.” Patronis argued that an exodus from California has helped fuel the budget deficit. The Golden State experienced the largest net loss of one-way movers, according to a United Van Lines study published earlier this year. Moreover, California’s green energy policies have caused blue-collar businesses to suffer from stagnation and decline, a Chapman University study published in April found. Soaring home prices in California, exacerbated by environmental regulations, are also causing historically white middle-class people to join the exodus, according to the study. Nevertheless, Newsom proposed shifting money from the general fund. He is offering $1.7 billion to pay for radical climate goals, particularly those related to “equity programs.” Patronis also said California’s deficit was partially due to businesses fleeing the state because of high crime. Newsom’s proposal to cut public safety funds will only fuel the “vicious cycle,” he added. Florida, on the other hand, has had budget surpluses. “Ultimately, this vicious cycle where you’ve got a weaker prison system” will cause “weaker incarceration, which has been kind of the narrative that’s been coming out of California now,” Patronis said. “San Francisco has been kind of like the poster child for businesses fleeing a once-prosperous city.” Since the beginning of the year, there have been 8,686 thefts in San Francisco, according to the latest available crime stats. However, this figure does not include 1,962 burglaries and 2,298 motor vehicle thefts. This year alone, retailers such as Aldo, J.Crew, and Madewell announced they were closing their stores at the San Francisco Center. This follows a trend of major stores that have fled the Northern California city. Malls have been left with major vacancies, according to a report. The North Face and Macy’s also closed down at the beginning of 2024. Zara is also expected to follow suit in 2025. The governor’s office pointed to violent and property crimes being down in the first quarter of this year when compared to last year. The $80 million cut from the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation is intended to eliminate 4,600 beds across 13 prisons. Newsom also proposed slashing law enforcement training and cutting $4.4 million from county probation departments. The California State Legislature, meanwhile, is pushing against some of the proposed cuts regarding public safety, particularly a $15 million decrease from the DOJ, Department of Finance deputy director for external affairs H.D. Palmer said in a statement. “These proposed reductions are unallocated reductions, meaning that it would be up to the department as to how they would be implemented,” Palmer said. The legislature has until June 15 to approve the budget, which would go into effect in July. Patronis attributed Florida’s financial success, in part, to Newsom’s failures as governor to ensure Californians feel safe. “The one that you have to hold responsible is Gavin Newsom,” he said. “When you create a safe environment, people want to relocate their businesses.” “You created an environment [in California] where … you are defunding the police and defunding law enforcement,” Patronis continued. “So look, in the state of Florida, we’ve taken advantage of their poor governance. “We have offered incentive bonuses. “We’ve actually recruited law enforcement officers for the state of Florida with a $5,000 recruitment bonus. “And we have gotten law enforcement officers from all 50 states.” Patronis also raised concerns about Newsom’s future ambitions. “I think he would love to be president one day,” he said. “He could just lie straight through his teeth like nobody I’ve ever seen on camera. “I would hate to ever see somebody with that type of a deliberate mindset to be in charge of our country’s economy.”

Top Study Confirms UN’s ‘Climate Crisis’ Claims Are a Hoax
Frank Bergman June 15, 2024 - 12:54 pm A top study has confirmed that fearmongering claims made by the United Nations (UN) to support the “climate crisis” narrative are a hoax, directly contradicted by data. Despite claims from the UN and other unelected globalists, the study has found that alleged “climate disasters” are not increasing. In fact, eminent Italian researchers Gianluca Alimonti and Luigi Mariani found that the environment has been significantly improving in recent years, with climate-related events decreasing. However, the researchers found that, while “climate disasters” have been decreasing, fearmongering studies and corporate media reports linking “global warming” to weather events have increased dramatically, creating the illusion of a “crisis.” The study observed trends in climate disaster reports between 1900 and 2022. They found that climate events are not increasing, but are more likely to be reported. “We conclude that the patterns observed are largely attributable to progressively better reporting of natural disaster events,” wrote the researchers. They noted that these findings directly contradict claims made by the United Nations — particularly the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR). They found that the UN and its sub-agencies have been falsely claiming that the number of climate disasters is rising. “The above result sits in marked contradiction to earlier analyses by two UN bodies (FAO and UNDRR), which predicts an increasing number of natural disasters and impacts in concert with global warming,” the study’s authors wrote. “Our analyses strongly refute this assertion as well as extrapolations published by UNDRR based on this claim.” United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres has previously claimed that weather disasters have increased 500% over the last 50 years. However, this claim is not merely an exaggeration – it has been proven to be outright false. But this is not the first time that climate hysteria has been debunked by scientists. A 2022 report found that mainstream media and climate alarmists are falsely pinning natural disasters and weather events, such as hurricanes and heatwaves, on man-made emissions, contradicting “reality and science.” The report was produced by the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI), Heartland Institute, Energy & Environment Legal Institute, Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT), and International Climate Science Coalition (ICSC). “There is not a single natural disaster, nor trend in any type of natural disaster that can be credibly linked with emissions or whatever gradual ‘climate change’ may be occurring for whatever reason, including natural climate change,” said the report. “Attributing natural disaster damages to emissions and climate change is without a factual or scientific basis.” The report fact-checked ten separate instances of media outlets claiming that a natural disaster was caused by “climate change.” In one example, the groups cited an article by the New York Times. The left-wing newspaper sounded the alarm over heatwaves in the United Kingdom. The Times blamed the heat on climate change, saying “heatwaves around the world are becoming hotter, more frequent and longer lasting.” However, the fact check noted that according to the National Climate Assessment, heatwaves have actually declined dramatically in the US over the past 90 years. The decline makes it extremely unlikely that Britain, or the world as a whole, is in danger of increased heatwaves allegedly caused by so-called “global warming.” “Moreover, during the UK heatwaves, average global warming remained fairly constant at 0.2°C to 0.3°C (0.36°F to 0.54°F) over the 1979-2000 average global temperature, an amount of warming that is not even really measurable,” said the report. In addition, the NY Times failed to note that outside of the UK’s short heatwaves, which lasted no more than a few days, the country also experienced unseasonably cold and wet periods during the summer months. In another case, the Washington Post tried to claim that “global warming” has been causing shorter winters. The Post attempted to argue that this is why the 2022 World Cup could only hold one of eight skiing races as of mid-November. “First, winter doesn’t begin until December 21,” the report explained. “Next, when World Cup skiing started in the 1960s, the season began in January. “Now it begins in October, which is early- to mid-autumn. “If the competition began in the winter everything would likely be okay because wintertime snow cover in the Northern Hemisphere has been increasing since the 1960s.” The report fact-checked other claims made by the media about Hurricane Ian, low water levels in Nevada’s Lake Mead, the Yellowstone River flooding, famine in the Horn of Africa, the China drought, and the European drought. In conclusion, the report noted: “Regardless of one’s view of what passes as ‘climate science,’ the good news is that even researchers who believe that ‘climate change’ is a problem acknowledge that the number of weather-related deaths and the cost of weather-related damage are actually on the decline — despite ever-increasing emissions and whatever slight warming may be occurring.” link

‘Climate Change’ Is An Unscientific Fear-Based Religion… And It’s All About Control
By Breanna Claussen June 18, 2024 untitled artwork 986 Breanna Claussen The issue of “Climate Change” is one that many Christians do not know how to grapple with. Is planet Earth genuinely on a collision course with catastrophic man-made climate change, or is this another issue that requires critical and Biblical examination? In an interview with David Fiorazo on “Worldview Matters,” Answers In Genesis Founder and CEO Ken Ham revealed that climate change science is rooted in more bias and corruption than many realize. “Back in the 70s, I started dealing with the creation-evolution issue in a big way. It’s really a battle to understand the difference between observational science, what you actually observe, and historical science, your beliefs and interpretations about the past when you weren’t there,” Ham stated. “Observational science is one thing. That’s the science that builds our technology. But when it comes to historical science—beliefs about the past—I want people to understand, dealing with climate change is exactly the same.” Ham highlighted that record-keeping for carbon dioxide levels goes back only 70 years and “accurate” temperature measurements a mere 40 years. “These computer models are all based on evolutionary assumptions,” he underscored, “and if those evolutionary assumptions are not true, their computer models are certainly not true.” The information the scientists are putting out, Ham noted, are actually contradictory to observational science. For example, “When it comes to carbon dioxide, they say [burning] oil and gas is increasing the temperature in the atmosphere. Actually, true observational science shows that when the temperature in the atmosphere increases, carbon dioxide levels decrease, and when the temperature decreases, carbon dioxide levels increase. So it’s totally different to what they’re saying.” Furthermore, while carbon dioxide is painted in a villainous light, Ham stressed that it is “not a pollutant.” “[Carbon dioxide] is a very important gas, and it only consists of 0.4% of our atmospheric gasses. Think about that. It’s only 0.4%. It’s a very, very small gas,” he stated, adding that there is “no proof at all human emissions are the driving force for environmental changes or climate changes.” Similar to creation scientists, numerous experts in the field have been shunned by the scientific community and censored for contradicting claims of man-made climate change. “They get all the media publicity. But you know, it’s been the same with the whole creation-evolution issue. Creationists don’t get good coverage in the media, but evolution is pushed and assumed, and people are brainwashed to believe it’s true,” Ham emphasized. Harbinger’s Daily previously reported on Greg Wrightstone, a geologist and climate expert, who was banned from LinkedIn for questioning the climate narrative. “I posted very interesting and very scientific charts and facts on temperature data through time, [carbon dioxide’s] relationship with temperature to show that throughout geologic time, CO2 really hasn’t been the control knob of the Earth’s climate,” Wrightstone explained. “We’re dangerous. They cannot allow our factually-based presentations to get out to the public, because what we say makes sense and it’s backed up by science.” “We’re rational, thoughtful people that are scientists—that are distinguished scientists—and we’re presenting this information,” he continued, adding that people “are being lied to on a daily basis about climate change and its ramifications.” The Religion Of Climate Alarmism If solid scientific research is not the driving force behind the claims of “climate change,” what is? According to Ken Ham, examining the evidence shows that “there’s something else going on here.” “What’s going on here is the fact that the climate change movement is a religion. It’s an anti-God religion based on evolutionary assumptions. It’s a religion where man believes he will save himself and save the planet. And it’s a religion that creates fear,” he warned “Worldview Matters” listeners. “The modern climate change movement is a religion that worships man and worships the creation, and basically sees man as a blight upon the earth,” Ham described. “They let the creation have dominion over man. Their whole worldview is wrong, their interpretation of the evidence is wrong, and it’s going to have bad consequences for us.” Power-Driven False Prophets The fear-based climate religion also has a whole host of “false prophets.” “Al Gore was featured in a documentary in 2006 called Inconvenient Truth. He’s a false prophet. None of his prophecies came true. He’s prophesying again today,” Ham asserted. “Why should people even believe him?” “Man is not going to destroy the Earth. The Doomsday Clock is just not true. And again, it’s meant to create fear,” he stressed. “It all comes back to people who want control—people who want power.” “John Kerry is another false prophet,” Ham continued. “When John Kerry came back from the World Economic Forum, and this was a year or so ago, he said [that] there is an elite group of people that are going to save mankind and going to save the planet. In other words, he is saying that man is his own savior. Man is his own god, and there’s an elite group of people who are going to control everything so that they can control you. That’s really what it’s all about.” A Symptom Of Man’s Rebellion Through the Bible, we can plainly see that the claims of climate change run in direct contradiction to God. Primarily, we know that God has given man dominion over creation (Genesis 1:26) and are assured that the future God has foretold regarding planet Earth does not include destruction by man-made climate catastrophe (2 Peter 3:7, Revelation 21:1). “The climate change movement is just another symptom of man in his rebellion against God, Ham said. “That’s really what’s happening here.” “When you read Romans 1, what happens when man worships the creation instead of the Creator?” he asked. “He turns them over to foolish things, and he turns them over to perverse ways. A lot of what’s being said in regard to the climate change agenda is foolishness.” “People need to get the truth on this. Once [individuals] realize they don’t have the data, it’s all interpreted based on evolutionary assumptions, they realize how much they’ve been brainwashed and manipulated,” he urged. “When you believe God’s word, that’s when you understand the truth.” “It’s a worldview battle at a foundational level,” Ham underscored. “It’s really a [spiritual] battle between God’s Word and man’s word.” link

Bear in mind, these dirtbags are saying there isn't enough food on the planet while they destroy farms and livestock. Bill Gates Launches ‘Maggot Milk’ to Feed General Public
Frank Bergman June 21, 2024 - 12:23 pm Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has launched a new project that seeks to introduce “maggot milk” into the food supply of the general public. The new “EntoMilk” is described as a “dairy alternative” that is made from “black soldier fly larvae” or maggots. The maggots are blended into a “rich and creamy liquid which looks and acts just like dairy,” according to its creators. “It’s got a very creamy mouthfeel,” a promotional video claims. Gates and his allies argue that EntoMilk should replace traditional dairy milk because farming allegedly destroys the planet. “The world needs alternatives to survive,” the promo claims. “Insects are vital for the future of food because they require very little land and they don’t damage the environment like livestock. “They don’t produce greenhouse gases.” The video also argues that “the world is going to struggle to produce enough food for the growing population.” “Insects are a very viable option.” Globalists insist that feeding the general public “EntoMilk” will “save the planet” from “climate change.” The promotional video for EntoMilk was revealed by Infowars’ Alex Jones. Jones warns that it’s another “sick Bill Gates project to feed people maggot milk.” WATCH: The news comes amid growing calls for Gates’s allies at the World Economic Forum (WEF) to begin replacing meat and dairy products with insect-based “foods.” As Slay News reported, WEF is demanding that the governments of “sovereign” nations begin “reinventing” the food supply by replacing meat and dairy with insect-based and lab-grown products. JOIN THE FIGHT - DONATE TO SLAY NEWS TODAY! Klaus Schwab’s organization argues that globalists must wipe out the agriculture industry to meet the goals of the green agenda. In recent years, the organization has been increasingly pushing for the general public to eat bugs to “reduce climate change.” In a new article, titled “Feeding the future: why Renovation and Reinvention are key to saving our food system,” the WEF demonizes farmers and the food supply. This is not the first time that milk, a staple in people’s diets around the world, has become a target of a globalist agenda either. Last year, Slay News reported that scientists have developed the first “edible vaccines” in the form of cow’s milk that’s infused with mRNA technology. The move comes amid a global push to vaccinate the food supply through gene-edited plants and livestock. Scientists in Communist China successfully “immunized” mice with mRNA-spiked cow’s milk. The milk was loaded with an experimental mRNA product similar to that found in the Covid shots. Unfortunately, this nascent technology already has the potential to be introduced into America’s dairy supply. In the United States, there is no law requiring informed consent for vaccines in the food supply. link

Scientists Raise Alarm over California’s Geoengineering Efforts to Tackle ‘Global Warming’
Frank Bergman June 23, 2024 - 12:23 pm A group of scientists has warned that California’s use of geoengineering to fight “global warming” could likely have an impact on temperatures in Europe. As Slay News has reported, scientists in California have been spraying the skies with aerosols in order to reflect sunlight away from the Earth’s surface. The plan is supposedly aimed at tackling so-called “climate change” by cooling the Earth. However, experts have been raising the alarm that such practices could have a devastating impact on the Earth’s natural climate. Last month, Bill Gates-funded University of Washington researchers sprayed reflective aerosols into clouds over the ocean near San Francisco Bay. The practice, called “marine cloud brightening,” allegedly aims to cool down the surface below and “reverse global warming.” However, a peer-reviewed study published in the prestigious Nature Climate Change journal raises major concerns about the practice. The researchers found that the experimental geoengineering methods may reduce heat exposure in the region significantly. Alarmingly, though, they warn that the “same interventions under mid-century warming minimally reduce or even increase heat stress in the Western United States and across the world.” The study team’s lead researcher, UC San Diego oceanographer Jessica Wan, told The Guardian: “It shows that marine cloud brightening can be very effective for the US West Coast if done now, but it may be ineffective there in the future and could cause heatwaves in Europe.” Interestingly, the geoengineering experiment was later shut down by San Francisco’s far-left officials. City officials cited health concerns when shutting the green agenda program down. The new study warns that the lack of regulation for experimental geoengineering projects could lead to such efforts severely backfiring across the world. “The authors of the study said the findings were ‘scary’ because the world has few or no regulations in place to prevent regional applications of the technique, marine cloud brightening, which involves spraying reflective aerosols (usually in the form of sea salt or sea spray) into stratocumulus clouds over the ocean to reflect more solar radiation back into space,” The Guardian reports. “Experts have said the paucity of controls means there is little to prevent individual countries, cities, companies, or even wealthy individuals from trying to modify their local climates, even if it is to the detriment of people living elsewhere, potentially leading to competition and conflict over interventions. “The recent sharp rise in global temperatures has prompted some research institutions and private organizations to engage in geoengineering research that used to be virtually taboo. “In Australia, scientists have been trialing marine cloud brightening strategies for at least four years to try to cool the Great Barrier Reef and slow its bleaching. “Earlier this year, scientists at the University of Washington sprayed sea-salt particles across the flight deck of a decommissioned aircraft carrier, the USS Hornet, docked in Alameda in San Francisco Bay. “This experiment was halted by the local government to allow it to evaluate whether the spray contains chemicals that might pose a health risk to people or animals in the Bay area.” The study comes after warnings that recent flooding in the Middle East was caused by geoengineering efforts. As Slay News reported in April, the Gulf states were hit with severe floods. The unprecedented floods in the typically dry Dubai were blamed on “climate change” by the corporate media. However, these reports conveniently ignored Dubai’s weather manipulation program. The Middle Eastern nation uses “cloud seeding” to create rainfall over Dubai. Many experts are now warning that these weather modification practices are causing unprecedented severe weather events. One meteorologist is warning of looming “weather wars” between countries if “cloud seeding” gets out of hand. Johan Jaques, a senior meteorologist at environmental technology company KISTERS, warned there could be “unintended consequences” to using the relatively young technology, potentially leading to “diplomatic instability.” “Any time we interfere with natural precipitation patterns, we set off a chain of events that we have little control over,” he said. “Interference with the weather also raises all kinds of ethical questions, as changing the weather in one country could lead to perhaps unintended yet catastrophic impacts in another. “After all, the weather does not recognize international borders.” link

Climate Protesters Storm the 18th Green During Golf Tournament, Spray Red SmokeELIZABETH WEIBEL 23 Jun 2024 1:29 Climate protesters were seen storming the green at the 18th hole and spraying red-colored smoke during the Travelers Championship of the PGA Tour in Connecticut on Sunday. Video footage posted to X showed protesters wearing white shirts with the words, “No golf on a dead planet,” storming the green as Scottie Scheffler was reportedly finishing up. Tom Kim, a professional golfer from South Korea, had been trailing behind Scheffler by one shot. However, Outkick reported that Kim “hit his approach in close,” which sent the tournament into a playoff. As Kim and Scheffler were waiting to “hit their” putts, the climate protesters stormed the green. Law enforcement officers can be seen quickly running onto the green and tackling the protesters to the ground. People in the crowd could be heard cheering and chanting, “USA! USA!” as the protesters were held down on the grass by police. Other people in the crowd could be heard booing and yelling, “Get out of here, you f**kers.” After the protesters were escorted off the green by police, tournament officials ended up switching to a different spot on the green due to the smoke that had been sprayed. Kim reportedly went on to “hit one of the all-time great putts,” while Scheffler missed his winning hit on the putt in the tournament, according to the outlet. link

Hillary Clinton Pressuring Hollywood to Target Young Children with Climate Change Propaganda
DAVID NG 25 Jun 2024 1:44 Twice failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has her sights set on your children — for more climate change messaging. Hillary Clinton is putting pressure on Hollywood studios to develop movies and TV shows that dramatize how climate change is putting kids in danger. “There’s now research on this topic, but most people are not aware at all,” Clinton said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. “Our hope is that we can help people make the connections between children’s mental and physical health and the impact of climate change.” Hillary Clinton’s initiative is being spearheaded through the Clinton Foundation’s Too Small to Fail program, which targets children for political messaging. The Clintons’ Too Small to Fail has reportedly already made in-roads in Hollywood by insinuating itself in the writers rooms of popular series like Orange Is the New Black and This Is Us. Hillary Clinton told the Reporter why she wants to target children. “Little kids aren’t just small adults, they have a much more vulnerable reaction to extreme heat or pollution from wildfires, whatever it might be,” she said. In the interview, Hillary Clinton revealed her Hollywood production company HiddenLights also has movies about abortion and racism in the works. She also appeared to chastise the growing number of young progressives who are planning not to vote in November in protest of President Joe Biden’s stance on Israel. “We can’t have a democracy if people sit on the sidelines,” she said. link

Denmark to Punish Farmers for Cow ‘Emissions’ to ‘Fight Global Warming’
Frank Bergman June 26, 2024 - 5:34 pm The Danish government has introduced radical new laws that will tax livestock farmers for “emissions” from cows, pigs, and sheep to supposedly “fight global warming.” Demark has become the first country in the world to introduce a carbon tax that seeks to force farmers to comply with the goals of the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) “Net Zero” agenda. The Scandinavian nation will tax farmers for the so-called “greenhouse gases” allegedly emitted by their livestock from 2030. Denmark’s globalist leaders claim they are targeting a major source of methane emissions, which they allege is one of the most potent gases contributing to “global warming.” In order to comply with the WEF’s “Net Zero” targets, Taxation Minister Jeppe Bruus said the aim is to reduce Danish “greenhouse gas emissions” by 70% from 1990 levels by 2030. As of 2030, Danish livestock farmers will be taxed $43 per ton of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2030. The tax will increase to $108 by 2035. However, because of an income tax deduction of 60%, the actual cost per ton will start at $17.3 and increase to $28 by 2035. Although carbon dioxide is typically blamed for causing “climate change,” globalists claim that methane traps about 87 times more heat on a 20-year timescale. However, as Slay News has previously reported, top scientists have debunked these claims as a hoax. A recent peer-reviewed study provided conclusive scientific evidence proving that carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in Earth’s atmosphere cannot cause “global warming.” Dr. Jan Kubicki led a group of world-renowned Polish scientists to study the impact of increases in CO2 emissions on the Earth’s global temperatures. However, not only did they find that higher levels of CO2 made no difference, but they also proved that it simply isn’t possible for increases in carbon dioxide to cause temperatures to rise. Kubicki and his team recently published three papers which all conclude that Earth’s atmosphere is already “saturated” with carbon dioxide. This saturation means that, even at greatly increased levels of CO2, the “greenhouse gas” will not cause temperatures to rise. Nevertheless, unelected globalists at the United Nations Environment Program claim that livestock accounts for about 32% of “human-caused methane emissions.” “We will take a big step closer in becoming climate neutral in 2045,” Bruus said. He boasted that Denmark “will be the first country in the world to introduce a real CO2 tax on agriculture” and added that he hopes other countries would follow suit. New Zealand had passed a similar law due to take effect in 2025. However, the legislation was removed from the statute book on Wednesday after hefty criticism from farmers and a change of government at the 2023 election from a far-left WEF-controlled ruling bloc to a center-right one. New Zealand said it would exclude agriculture from its emissions trading scheme in favor of exploring other ways to reduce methane. In Denmark, the deal was reached late Monday between the center-right government and representatives of farmers, the industry, and unions, among others, and presented Tuesday. Denmark’s move comes after months of protests by farmers across Europe. Farmers have been rising up against “climate change” mitigation measures and regulations that are driving them to bankruptcy. The Danish Society for Nature Conservation (DSNC), the largest nature conservation and environmental organization in Denmark, described the tax agreement as “a historic compromise.” After the talks in which the DSNC took part, the organization’s head Maria Reumert Gjerding said: “We have succeeded in landing a compromise on a CO2 tax, which lays the groundwork for a restructured food industry -– also on the other side of 2030.” According to green agenda advocates, a typical Danish cow produces 6.6 tons of CO2 equivalent per year. Denmark, which is a large dairy and pork exporter, will also tax pigs. However, cows are the main target due to allegations that they produce far higher “emissions” than pigs. The tax is to be approved in the 179-seat Folketing, or parliament. Nevertheless, the bill is expected to pass after a broad-based consensus. According to Statistic Denmark, there were 1,484,377 cows in the Scandinavian country, as of June 30, 2022. This was a slight drop compared to the previous year. This figure is expected to fall more rapidly in the coming years. link

WEF Calls for Restrictions on Public Washing Clothes
Frank Bergman June 27, 2024 - 12:23 pm The unelected World Economic Forum (WEF) is calling on governments of “sovereign” nations to enforce restrictions on how frequently members of the general public can wash their clothes. The WEF urged limits such as jeans being washed no more than “once a month.” The globalist organization argues that the planet is being destroyed by “global warming” due to members of the public washing their clothes. By placing restrictions on clothes washing, the WEF insists that governments will force their citizens to “help the planet.” The WEF has published new guidelines for the taxpaying masses to “wash our clothes less to help the planet.” “70% of the CO2 emissions generated by a cotton t-shirt come from washing and drying it,” the WEF explains in a video shared on social media. WATCH: The WEF claims that laundry detergents and soaps used by humans to keep clean are allegedly polluting waterways. The organization continues by suggesting globalists are also motivated by care for the public’s clothing, noting that “too much washing also wears out clothes faster.” Klaus Schwab’s Switzerland-based elitist group supports this “advice” by citing “experts” who recommend against washing clothes “after every wear.” Instead, the WEF’s unidentified policy-dictating “experts” claim: “Jeans shouldn’t be washed more than once a month, jumpers once a fortnight, and pajamas once a week.” It’s not all bad news, however, as the WEF says its “experts” agree that the general public can wash their underwear and gym clothes after every use. The recommendations for the public to wear dirty clothes are illustrative of the WEF’s attempts to micromanage every aspect of public life. In an effort to seize control of the food supply, the WEF has been promoting insects for human consumption Of course, the WEF insists that seizing control of the food supply is about “saving the planet” from “climate change,” and not money and power. WATCH: In addition, the WEF wants members of the public to build shacks on their land to house unspecified single adults. It’s all in the name of “saving the planet,” though, remember. Meanwhile, despite claiming that its interest in the food supply is for the sake of the planet, the WEF is demanding a crackdown on people growing their own food at home. As Slay News reported, the WEF has somehow decided that people growing their own food at home are causing “climate change.” According to so-called “experts” behind a recent WEF study, researchers apparently discovered that the “carbon footprint” of home-grown food is “destroying the planet.” As a result, the WEF and other globalist climate zealots are now demanding that governments intervene and ban individuals from growing their own food in order to “save the planet” from “global warming.” Instead, the WEF is calling on governments to “reinvent” the food supply with insects. ] link

WEF Pushes Plans to Seize Control of Oxygen Supply
Frank Bergman June 28, 2024 - 12:54 pm World Economic Forum (WEF) members have begun discussing plans to seize control of all elements of nature that humans rely on for survival such as food, water, and even the oxygen supply. During the WEF Annual Meeting of the New Champions, also known as “Summer Davos,” in Dalian, China, globalists declared that natural systems are finite and must be corporatized. During a Summer Davos panel discussion, WEF speaker Lindsay Hooper blasted members of the general public for expecting water and oxygen to be “unlimited” and “free.” Hooper, the University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership CEO, argued that food, water, and oxygen are “forms of natural capital” that global elites must put “on the balance sheet.” “We can’t do business on a dead planet,” she warned fellow WEF members gathered for the annual event. Hooper pushed the plan during the panel titled “Understanding Nature’s Ledger.” During the panel, globalists argued that every part of the economy depends on nature. They concluded that in order to “protect” natural systems, unelected corporate elites must “bring nature onto the balance sheet.” “If we’re going to protect natural systems, one of the solutions is to bring nature onto the balance sheet; bring nature into the ways that decisions are made within business to allocate a value to it — to bring it into accounting and financial mechanisms,” Hooper explained. WATCH: Hooper warned WEF members that efforts to further expand wealth and power are “not sustainable on a finite planet.” According to Hooper, “The ways in which we have grown our economies, our models of economic development, have been incredibly successful for global prosperity. “The unintended consequences of current models of growth are simply not sustainable on a finite planet.” Hooper’s words echo those of WEF founder Klaus Schwab. At the Summer Davos opening plenary on Tuesday, Schwab said that there were “limits to growth.” Schwab told global elites that ushering in the globalist agenda will require humanity to be forced into a “collaboration” with the unelected organization, as Slay News reported. He argues that “economic growth,” and a more “peaceful” future will come from reducing population numbers and embracing innovation such as artificial intelligence (AI) while using the green agenda to advance policy change. At the end of his address, Schwab returned to the topic of the fourth industrial revolution while revisiting this year’s theme, saying that there were “limits to growth.” WATCH: As Slay News reported, “Limits to Growth” is a nod to the Club of Rome book of the same name published in 1972. The book is a manifesto for reducing the global population of humans. The book’s author, Dennis Meadows, is a WEF member and is considered an architect of the organization’s anti-human agenda. As Slay News has previously reported, Meadows advocated for global elites to orchestrate a mass depopulation event to wipe out 86% of the human race. He argues that the “elites” left behind would have a better life with fewer humans on Earth. After making a subtle nod to this agenda, Schwab says that these limits can be overcome by using technologies of the fourth industrial revolution wisely. He asserted that the green agenda must be promoted as a “great opportunity for humankind.” During the WEF panel on “Understanding Nature’s Ledger,” Hooper warned that nature should never be treated within the economy as though it were free and unlimited. “At the moment, the way that decisions are made on an everyday level within businesses and financial institutions is because we’re looking at financial data metrics that are not factoring-in nature,” Hooper said. “Nature is treated within the economy as though it’s unlimited, and predominantly as though it’s free,” she lamented. WATCH: According to Hooper, it’s because “every part of the economy is fundamentally dependent on nature.” As a result, globalists must seize control of “the air that we breathe, the water we drink, the soil, the oceans that we need for the food that we need to consume, the minerals that we need as inputs to technology and into infrastructure,” Hooper declared. “Without these forms of value, these forms of natural capital, we won’t have economies. “They are the fundamental building blocks of our economies.” In addition to putting “nature on the balance sheet,” another proposal coming at the end of the panel discussion suggested putting a tax on natural systems like water in the same vein as carbon taxes. In her presentation, WEF managing director for nature and climate Gim Huay Neo said that “integrating natural capital to our accounting framework” should happen soon. “We need to keep pushing while continuing to refine and enhance, and the best example I can give is carbon pricing,” Neo told WEF members. “Today, carbon pricing, ETS [Emissions Trading Systems], carbon taxes really cover about 25 percent of global emissions. “We should actually look at scaling this to cover all 100 percent of carbon emissions. “And beyond carbon let’s think about other aspects of nature that are easier to quantify. “We will probably not be able to quantify everything on day one, but what about water? “That’s quite possible for us to start integrating systematically into current trading carbon pricing mechanisms.” WATCH: FULL VIDEO: Global elites have been increasingly pushing similar plans in recent years, however. At COP27 in November 2022, former Bank of England advisor and G20 co-chairman Michael Sheren said that carbon was “moving very quickly into a system where it’s going to be close to a currency.” He asserted that next on the agenda was the tokenization of nature and biodiversity, where places like Indonesia, Brazil, and Africa would be “absolutely critical.” “Carbon, we already figured out, and carbon is moving very quickly into a system where it’s going to be very close to a currency, basically being able to take a ton of absorbed or sequestered carbon and being able to create a forward-pricing curve, with financial service architecture, documentation,” said Sheren. And with carbon being close to a currency, “There are going to be derivatives.” He then declared that next on the agenda is the tokenization of water, trees, oxygen, and just about everything else in nature. “We start thinking about putting prices on water, on trees, on biodiversity, we find where does that sit?” Sheren pondered. “How do we start tokenizing? “How do we start building systems that actually create not only the value but transfer that value around the world?” WATCH: During this year’s WEF Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland in January, a similar panel was held called, “Putting a Price on Nature.” Amid the discussion, Amazonian community leader Uyunkar Domingo Peas Nampichkai said that it was impossible to put a price on a sacred, living ecosystem. “When we speak about Mother Earth and our ecosystem, when larger companies speak about its value, for us this ecosystem is a sacred ecosystem; there’s no value to it; it’s invaluable,” he said. Nevertheless, during the annual Davos event in 2022, one WEF member pitched plans to trigger a global water crisis as a means to usher in control over the masses. As Slay News reported, WEF spokesperson Professor Mariana Mazzucato argues that a crisis centered around “water” will “deliver” where “Covid” and “climate change” both “failed.” “You need water,” Mazzucato asserted during a panel discussion before an audience of salivating globalists. link

WEF Pushes Plans to ‘Reduce Car Ownership’ Among Public
Frank Bergman June 29, 2024 - 12:23 pm Unelected members of the World Economic Forum (WEF) have laid out plans to “reduce car ownership” among members of the general public. During the WEF’s Annual Meeting of the New Champions, aka “Summer Davos,” in Dalian, China, globalists discussed plans to force the masses to give up their vehicles and use public transport instead. A mayor from the UK spoke at the event and revealed during the panel on “Electrifying Mobility” that his city is being used as a testbed for ushering the globalist objectives. Deputy Mayor of Greater Manchester and Mayor of Salford Paul Dennett told fellow globalists that his city will lead the way in the shift toward reducing car ownership. “I think the Greater Manchester story is one of collaboration and ultimately forging ahead,” said Dennett. “We want to be a leading exemplar of a city region when it comes to transport connectivity. “We see EV charging within a much bigger remit of integrated, smart, sustainable transport connectivity. “Ultimately, we also want to reduce the dependency on car ownership, and we want to increase the dependency on public transport,” he added. WATCH: Dennett’s goals align precisely with those of the WEF concerning private car ownership and use. As Slay News has reported, the WEF has long been pushing for members of the public to be banned from owning their own vehicles. In May, the WEF called on global governments to begin placing limits on private car ownership among the general public. The globalist WEF is demanding that regular families with more than one car should be forced to give up one of their vehicles. Despite the fact that a person can only drive one car at a time, the WEF insists that limiting the number of vehicles people can own will help to “save the planet” from “climate change.” The WEF argues that members of the public must be forced into giving up a vehicle as part of the organization’s “One Less Car” agenda. However, the agenda appears to be a stepping stone for the WEF’s long-promoted plan to eliminate all private car ownership. In 2022, Norwegian Finance CEO and WEF speaker Kjerstin Braathen said people should be prepared to make major sacrifices to comply with the green agenda. Braathen warned that the public can expect “pain,” inflation,” and “energy shortages” due to the “climate change” agenda of the WEF and fellow globalist organization the United Nations (UN). “We need to accept that there will be some pain in the process,” Braathen said. “The pace that we need [to end climate change] will open up for missteps. “It will open up for shortages of energy. “It will create inflationary pressures, and maybe we need to start talking about that — that that pain is actually worth it.” Earlier this year, WEF founder Klaus Schwab gave an address at his organization’s annual World Governments Summit in Dubai where he laid out his vision for a ban on private car ownership. The WEF founder described a world where nobody owns their own car. Instead, the only vehicles on the roads would be those that transport elites to “your hotel and bring you to the airport.” He said that cars would be rented or shared rather than owned, describing the plan as “Uberization.” “We are not in the age of capitalism,” Schwab said. “We have entered the age of talents. “We will see the second wave of the Internet revolution; we have machine-to-machine interaction, 3D printing, and big data. “All together, these will create the tsunami of change in industry. “The first aspect of the change is ‘Uberization’ of the economy – and it will not be limited to taxis! “We will have an app for all our needs for government services. “The second dimension relates to robots and drones, and I have to congratulate you on what you’re doing on drones. It is pioneering.” Schwab added: “The new technology wave is changing who we are. “There is research going on in biology, regeneration of body parts, enzymes, and so on.” These elements of technological progress have tremendous social implications, according to Schwab. “When we meet for the 20th Government Summit, you will use an app like Uber, but not to call some driver. “An automatically guided car will come to your hotel and bring you to the airport.” “At the 10th or 15th summit, we will pay not necessarily with Bitcoin but with some virtual currency.” “We are only starting to understand what this means for government, education,” Schwab said. “Since the wave is coming so fast, governments have the obligation to prepare their people for change.” “In 2030, Los Angeles will be private car-driven free,” Schwab added. link

Americans Facing Blackouts, Soaring Cost of Living to Meet Targets of Biden’s Climate Mandates
Frank Bergman July 7, 2024 - 11:22 am Democrat President Joe Biden’s recent climate mandates will cause the cost of living to soar and leave most Americans facing widespread rolling blackouts, a new study has revealed. The study was published by the North Dakota Transmission Authority (NDTA) and is raising major concerns about the Democrats’ radical climate agenda. In order for the United States to comply with the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) “Net Zero” targets, American taxpayers are likely to face rolling blackouts and heavy costs. However, the measures to company with these goals have already been put in place due to the Biden administration’s recent climate mandates. In April, Biden’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized a policy referred to as the Power Plant Greenhouse Gas Rule. The rule consists of four regulations that target state power grids. These state power grids must now conform to new globalist performance standards. According to Biden’s mandates, these standards will reduce “greenhouse gas emissions.” The ultimate goal is to shut down fossil-fueled electrical plants completely. These plants will be replaced with ones powered by so-called “green” energy such as wind and solar. However, a recent study from the NDTA says the EPA based its rule on flawed reasoning. The EPA looked at whether there are sufficient resources to convert the electrical grids into more environmentally friendly versions and concluded there are. It did not, however, conduct hourly reliability stress tests, which check whether a power grid can meet the demand for electricity during any given hour of the day. The NDTA’s study noted that, had the EPA done these tests, it would have found that the electrical grids powered by clean energy would not be able to meet the electricity needs of residents. Power plants are likely to become overwhelmed, leading to rolling blackouts. Specifically, the NDTA studied the power grids in the Midwestern and Southern United States, which are managed by the Midcontinent Independent Systems Operator (MISO) and the Southwest Power Pool (SPP), respectively. The study explains: “We determined that the closure of lignite-fired powered power plants in the MISO & SPP footprints would increase the severity of projected future capacity shortfalls, i.e. rolling blackouts, in the MISO & SPP systems even if these resources are replaced with wind, solar, battery storage, and natural gas plants.” Blackouts come at a cost called Value of Lost Load (VoLL). VoLL is the loss that consumers suffer from an interruption in electricity. The NDTA estimates that over the next 27 years, taxpayers in the Midwest will experience an additional 377,300 hours of blackouts. The VoLL cost to taxpayers will be $3.77 billion. In the area covered by the SPP, American taxpayers are likely to suffer 8.3 million hours of blackouts. This will result in a staggering VoLL cost of $83 billion. All that is in addition to the $447.5 billion it will cost taxpayers to construct new clean energy electrical grids. link

Major Bank Launches ‘Carbon Footprint Tracker’ to Crack Down on Meat & Dairy Purchases
Frank Bergman July 11, 2024 - 12:23 pm A major British multinational bank has launched a new “carbon footprint tracker” that monitors customers’ spending in order to crack down on purchases of meat and dairy products. The system, launched by London-based NatWest Bank, scolds customers when they buy meat and dairy products and suggests their food purchases are causing “climate change.” As part of NatWest’s smartphone banking app, users receive messages when they are caught buying traditionally farmed produce. They are also urged to “swap out” items such as beef and milk with “alternatives” such as “non-dairy” or “plant-based” products. The app pressures customers to take part in “veggie Mondays” and warns they should be “choosing (mostly) plant-based” diets to fight “global warming” by reducing their so-called greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The alert messages also recommend eating “vegetarian at home” to reduce your “carbon footprint” by 40kg. By “swapping out beef,” the app alleges an individual could reduce their “carbon footprint” by 12kg. In addition, users are urged to try adding tofu, lentils, and other “alternatives” to their diets as substitutes for eating meat. The bank doesn’t draw the line at food, however, and seeks to push the green agenda into all aspects of its customers’ spending. The app also suggests buying “more second-hand clothes” and taking “fewer flights” in order to comply with the “Net Zero” targets of the World Economic Forum (WEF). Additional warning messages from the bank tell customers to switch off tumble dryers, share car journeys, and wash their clothes in cold water. Users can also “opt-in” to receive a “monthly carbon score,” which the bank already tracks as default. However, the move has angered British farmers with its push to crack down on red meat and to replace dairy products with “plant-based alternatives.” The UK’s National Farmer’s Union (NFU) has criticized NatWest for promoting “oversimplified” messages that “miss the nuance of the path to a sustainable food system.” David Barton, chair of the NFU Livestock Board said: “We have been working closely with NatWest about messaging on its ‘carbon tracker’ in its customer app.” “What we eat is a personal choice and should be made in an informed way,” Barton added. “We are continuing our conversations with the bank about the nutritional and biodiversity benefits eating meat provides as currently the app’s tracker only focuses primarily on greenhouse gas emissions.” He added: “We understand that the NatWest app is primarily focusing on [greenhouse gas] emissions, but the reality is that when making diet-related recommendations, other factors such as nutrition, environment, and biodiversity must be presented.” Following months of back-and-forth, the bank agreed to change the wording on its app following a pushback from the farming industry. However, the NFU believes this change is not significant enough. A recommendation to buy local, British produce has been added by the bank following pressure from the NFU. The NFU says the British meat and dairy industry is among the most sustainable in the world. The UK’s beef “emissions” are less than half the global average. Barton added: “Despite this disappointment, I am pleased to see some changes being made to the ‘carbon tracker’ on its personal banking app, following NFU’s engagement with NatWest at a senior level over several months. “I am also pleased that conversations are still ongoing between the NFU and NatWest on how best to communicate the benefits of meat to the bank’s customers.” NFU President Tom Bradshaw said: “It is positive to see NatWest’s willingness to learn, and we are committed to continuing to work with the banking sector to ensure they fully understand and work alongside the agriculture sector when it comes to reducing emissions and supporting resilient, sustainable businesses.” A NatWest spokesman said: “At NatWest, we have championed farming for nearly 300 years and we are one of the largest lenders to the sector, committing £6.7bn of funding to support farmers to fund climate and sustainability-related projects. “The transition to a low carbon economy is a topic of interest to many customers and sectors, including farming and agriculture. “We will continue to support our customers in their sustainability journeys. “The carbon tracker is an optional feature that customers have told us is valuable, but we always listen to stakeholder feedback and continue to look for ways to improve.” link

Top Study Confirms Carbon Dioxide Has Zero Impact on ‘Global Warming’
Frank Bergman July 13, 2024 - 11:53 am A major new study has debunked the narrative that increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from human activity is causing so-called “global warming.” The study, published in Science Direct, confirms what “climate scientists” should have told the public a long time ago. The warming effect of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is naturally limited, according to the new study. In fact, that limit has already been reached, decades ago. The study found that carbon dioxide emissions have zero impact on the Earth’s global temperatures. Even if we dug up all the world’s coal and extracted all the world’s oil and burned it in one giant pyre, its CO2 emissions wouldn’t heat the planet. The findings of this study directly conflict with the globalist “climate crisis” narrative being promoted by the United Nations-funded “science” community. Even the taxpayer-funded National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) continues to push these “global warming claims.” In a statement explaining “climate change” to children, NASA presents the “greenhouse effect” as a simple cause-and-effect: How are humans impacting the greenhouse effect? Human activities are changing Earth’s natural greenhouse effect. Burning fossil fuels like coal and oil puts more carbon dioxide into our atmosphere. NASA has observed increases in the amount of carbon dioxide and some other greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. Too much of these greenhouse gases can cause Earth’s atmosphere to trap more and more heat. This causes Earth to warm up. What NASA doesn’t mention is that carbon dioxide doesn’t cause Earth to warm up infinitely. The three Polish scientists at the Military University of Technology in Warsaw who authored this latest study were following in the footsteps of other scientists who drew similar conclusions in their own research, published in the last few years. As Slay News reported, one recent study found that the atmosphere becomes saturated with carbon dioxide. Much like a sponge, it can only hold so much, meaning carbon dioxide cannot increase temperatures anymore as the saturation point was reached a long time ago. The corporate media has refused to report on these studies, however. All of these studies follow the same underlying concept. The latest study uses a hypothetical concept of a fire inside a greenhouse that is steadily emitting heat. The greenhouse grows increasingly hotter but at some point, the heat will start to dissipate, and the temperature inside levels off. The glass walls and ceiling can contain only so much heat before they start emitting it to the outside. The case of CO2 in the atmosphere is very similar. It can act as a “greenhouse” gas but all the CO2 together can only contain so much heat, much like the hypothetical greenhouse. CO2 Coalition explains: “The warming effect of each molecule of CO2 declines as [CO2’s overall] concentration increases.” Once the overall limit has been reached, adding more CO2 has no more impact. Interestingly, the greenhouse limit may have been reached before the first coal-fired factory was even built. The Polish scientists assert, based on their findings, that there is “currently a multiple exceedance of the saturation mass for carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere.” According to the study, we already reached the point, long ago, where CO2 lost its effectiveness in warming the planet. Scientists at McGill University made the same point last year: Transmission in the CO2 band center is unchanged by increased CO2 as the absorption is already saturated. By “already saturated,” they meant that absorption has been saturated for centuries—since the “pre-industrial age,” in fact. The level of CO2 in the atmosphere is a little above 400 ppm today. According to Prof. Dieter Schildknecht of Bielefeld University, Germany, carbon dioxide’s saturation level is just 300 ppm, a level that was probably reached around 1950, as the graph below illustrates. Based on previous research, Schildknecht writes that beyond this level, emissions caused by human activity have no significant effect on carbon dioxide’s greenhouse properties. According to National Geographic, however, CO2 levels reaching 400 ppm was a “climate milestone”: The last time the concentration of Earth’s main greenhouse gas reached this mark, horses and camels lived in the high Arctic. Seas were at least 9.1 meters (30 feet higher)—at a level that today would inundate major cities around the world. National Geographic doesn’t provide any evidence to prove these remarkable assertions, nhowever. Yet, it does admit that “the last time the concentration of CO2 was as high as 400 ppm was probably in the Pliocene Epoch…” It then attempts to bolster the case by claiming: But tens of millions of years ago, CO2 must have been much higher than it is now—there’s no other way to explain how warm Earth was then. There are actually many ways, like changes in solar activity, to explain why Earth may have been warmer, and colder, in the past. But what National Geographic and climate alarmists are attempting to promote is the fear of the future unknown: The planet was about 2 to 3 degrees Celsius (3.6 to 5.4 degrees Fahrenheit) warmer. But Earth then was in the final stage of a prolonged greenhouse epoch, and CO2 concentrations were on their way down. However, the May 2013 reading represented something different. This time, 400 ppm was a milepost on a far more rapid uphill climb toward an uncertain climate future. Parents may want to check how much of their children’s science textbooks are filled with fearmongering as opposed to proper physics. Explanations of how greenhouses and greenhouse gases work are key to understanding the facts about he Earth’s climate. link

Bill Gates Launches Fake ‘Butter’ in Bid to Eliminate Farming
Frank Bergman July 14, 2024 - 12:23 pm Bill Gates’s latest effort to seize control of the food supply comes in the form of fake “butter” which seeks to “fight climate change” by eliminating the need for farmers. To achieve this goal, Gates is funding a startup called Savor which produces hyper-processed synthetic “vegan fat.” The products are made in a factory without livestock or the crops needed for margarine. The company claims it will stop “global warming” by cutting “carbon emissions” and “saving rainforests.” However, information about the nutritional value of the products or the unwanted chemicals contained within the fake fat is mysteriously hidden. They seem to be missing the point, perhaps deliberately so, that food is supposed to be nutritious. A new type of dietary fat could soon be on sale in the US as researchers and entrepreneurs race to develop the first synthetic “foods.” According to New Scientist, Savor has created a “butter” product made from carbon dioxide. It is produced in a thermochemical system closer to fossil fuel processing than food production. “There is no biology involved in our specific process,” says Kathleen Alexander from the company. In a Substack article published in December 2023, Alexander wrote: “The fats we make at Savor can be produced from fossil fuels like natural gas or from captured CO2 and green hydrogen … “We could not be more excited to bring these new fats to the world.” Savor calls them “zero carbon fats” and “carbon neutral fats.” “The Californian startup has gone to the basics of chemistry to build its product,” Interesting Engineering explained. “According to its website, like any molecule, fat also has a fixed chemical formula. “It uses carbon dioxide as a starting point to build fat molecules using heat and hydrogen.” No other information is provided about the product or its nutritional values. However, some details about their process were revealed in a presentation given at the Good Food Institute conference held in September 2023. In a session titled “Commercial innovation of alternative fat ingredients,” Savor’s Director of Business Development Chiara Cecchini explained some of the processes they use to make the synthetic fats that are intended to be fed to the general public. The process begins with paraffin wax and carbon dioxide, Cecchini revealed. Cecchini explained: “We start from an input which is basically CO2 and green hydrogen in the form of paraffin and then we take those paraffin waxes and we basically oxidize them.” Interesting Engineering continued: Savor is confident that its technology can be used to make butter and multiple other animal-derived fats, such as milk and cheese. The company also plans to use this approach to make ice cream and edible oils. Another highlight of this tech is that it is highly scalable and could rapidly be deployed to replace animal-derived fats. The only hurdle would be convincing people to adopt a product made using revolutionary tech into their daily lives. This is where Gates is hopeful he can make a difference. “The idea of switching to lab-made fats and oils may seem strange at first,” Gates wrote in a blog post earlier this year. “But their potential to significantly reduce our carbon footprint is immense. “By harnessing proven technologies and processes, we get one step closer to achieving our climate goals.” In a blog post, the billionaire co-founder of Microsoft described why his venture capital company, Breakthrough Energy Ventures (BEV), invested in Savor. “The process doesn’t release any greenhouse gases, and it uses no farmland and less than a thousandth of the water that traditional agriculture does,” he wrote. “And most important, it tastes really good–like the real thing, because chemically it is.” According to Pitchbook, Savor has raised more than $33 million to date from BEV and other venture capital companies including Climate Capital and CPT Capital. The fake “butter” is the latest synthetic “food” product to be pushed for public consumption by Gates. Gates has been one of the pioneers in pushing lab-grown “meats” to replace traditional beef and chicken. As Slay News recently reported, Gates has also been funding a project that makes an “alternative” to cows’ milk that is made from liquidized maggots. link

NASA Scientists: Green Agenda Policies May Be Causing ‘Global Warming’
Frank Bergman August 3, 2024 - 11:51 am A group of NASA scientists is raising the alarm after a study found that globalist green agenda policies to supposedly fight “climate change” may actually be causing “global warming.” The NASA scientists believe that efforts to supposedly cool the Earth, such as Bill Gates’s atmospheric aerosols experiments, are having the reverse effect and are dangerously warming the planet. For decades, globalists have been promoting conflicting narratives in an effort to use the environment to push the public into accepting a collectivist agenda. The 1970s saw scientists warning of a coming Ice Age in which “arctic cold and perpetual snow could turn most of the inhabitable portions of our planet into a polar desert.” WATCH: At the end of the twentieth century, it was the alleged threat of the exact opposite – “global warming.” “Global warming” fearmongering then accompanied government campaigns urging the adoption of new regulations. Then, at the start of the twenty-first century, when people were not fully embracing the fear of “global warming,” so-called experts ambiguously warned of “climate change.” “Climate change” would conveniently cover all eventualities, including temperatures that sometimes went down. This was especially convenient as science has long proven that Earth’s climate has been constantly changing over the last few billion years. Now, NASA scientists claim to have discovered the primary cause of (alleged) global warming in the past few years: Green agenda “environmental ” policies. Interestingly, they do not address the controversial question of whether or not global warming is actually occurring. Specifically, curbs placed on sulfur dioxide emissions in 2020 by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) forced the sulfur content in shipping fuel to drop from 3.5 percent to no more than 0.5 percent. Sulfur dioxide is one of the gases targeted by green activists as it is considered a pollutant contributing to acid rain as well as various respiratory problems. Environmentalists appear, however, to have been taken off-guard by one consequence of the drop in atmospheric sulfur dioxide: a potential global increase in temperatures. In their research paper, the NASA scientists note: While IMO2020 [the new regulation] is intended to benefit public health by decreasing aerosol loading, this decrease in aerosols can temporarily accelerate global warming by dimming clouds across the global oceans. IMO2020 took effect in a short period of time and likely has global impact. The process involved sulfate particles, formed from sulfur dioxide, which can mix with clouds and make them brighter. These bright clouds then reflect some of the sun’s rays back out to space, so that less heat reaches Earth. The scientists estimate that the drop in sulfur dioxide emissions means fewer bright clouds with the result, they claim, of a doubling (or more) of the warming rate: Here we estimate the regulation leads to a radiative forcing of +0.2±0.11Wm−2 averaged over the global ocean. The amount of radiative forcing could lead to a doubling (or more) of the warming rate in the 2020 s compared with the rate since 1980 with strong spatiotemporal heterogeneity. They claim that we saw this rise in temperatures last year. They attribute 80 percent of recent global warming to the drop in sulfur dioxide emissions: The warming effect is consistent with the recent observed strong warming in 2023 and expected to make the 2020s anomalously warm. The forcing is equivalent in magnitude to 80% of the measured increase in planetary heat uptake since 2020. The study also mentions the implications for general weather patterns across the globe. The scientists argue that the issue is making the weather more unstable, particularly this decade: The radiative forcing also has strong hemispheric contrast, which has important implications for precipitation pattern changes … [and] can create significant perturbations in precipitation patterns. Had they not been scientists from NASA, the media would probably have ignored the findings. After all, a single corporate news outlet did not pick up a recent study revealing how carbon dioxide’s current and future impact on global warming is likely zero. This time around, the study was published in Nature and picked up by no less than 120 news sites. However, what the mainstream media outlets focused on was a tangential issue raised by the research findings. The NASA scientists had mentioned in their work a process called marine cloud brightening which Bill Gates is championing. This involves spraying sea salt into the clouds to create a similar bright-cloud effect to that created by sulfates, possibly cooling the planet. In response, The Washington Post headlined its article, “Could spraying sea salt into the clouds cool the planet?” In fact, it dates back to 1990 and has been investigated for almost two decades. The Post did not make a single reference to the discovery that “carbon emissions” are not, after all, causing temperature increases. No more did the New York Times, which hid the (partial) results of the study in an obscure paragraph tucked away in an article headlined, “Hanging by a Thread: U.N. Chief Warns of Missing a Key Climate Target.” In fact, NYT omitted to mention that the study was conducted by NASA scientists, only mentioning that: Other contributors [to global warming] might stick around for longer. In a study published last week, a team of scientists led by Tianle Yuan, a geophysicist at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, estimated that the planet could be experiencing additional warming right now for a counterintuitive reason: recent regulations that slashed air pollution from ships. NYT then dashed back to the accepted narrative of normal, everyday human activity being the main driver of alleged “global warming,” stressing that: To scientists, the foremost driver of warming remains clear: Atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide, the three most important human-caused heat-trapping gases, have continued their steady upward climb. At current rates of emissions, it might only be five or so more years before humans have altered the atmosphere’s chemistry so significantly that it becomes extremely difficult to stop warming from surpassing 1.5 degrees Celsius, scientists have estimated Evidently, NYT esteems the views of scientists from Imperial College London and other institutes more than the views of researchers from NASA. Forbes, too, in an article titled, “Shipping Pollution Curbs Made Climate Change Worse, Controversial NASA Study Claims,” quotes random climate scientists who cast doubt on the study’s findings. Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of the research findings is that they shouldn’t have been news at all. The effects of sulfates in the atmosphere have been known for decades. An article dating back to 1999 states: … the effects of the sulfur dioxide from industry might be countering the greenhouse effect created by carbon dioxide … When fossil fuels are burned, both carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide are released. As demonstrated in the ship tracks study, sulfate particles produced from sulfur dioxide create brighter clouds, which may cool the atmosphere. Any light that is reflected cannot reach the ground and heat the surface of the Earth. This means there is less heat for carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases to trap in the atmosphere. This article was written by NASA scientists. Today’s NASA scientists suggest in their study that the important question to address now is the “trade-off” between improving air quality and “global warming.” They also imply that, in the future, scientists should exercise more caution in their efforts to control the climate, given the complex and often contradictory issues involved: Finally, an important open question for policy makers to consider is the trade-off between the benefits of better air quality and the potential cost of additional warming as different parts of the world have reduced and are going to reduce aerosol pollution. The trade-off consideration is also relevant for deliberate geoengineering schemes to select the right properties of emitted aerosols. Whether or not their findings will induce a sense of humility and awe at the complexity of Creation in the scientists of the future remains to be seen. link

Climate Alarmists Push New Narrative as Global Greening Spreads: ‘Save the Deserts’
Frank Bergman August 3, 2024 - 10:05 am A new climate alarmist narrative is emerging as the globalist anti-carbon agenda continues to unravel. As Slay News has been reporting, globalists have been increasingly warning that increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is allegedly causing global warming. However, the agenda relies on people forgetting what high school biology classes teach about photosynthesis. As we know, plants absorb carbon dioxide from the air to create oxygen. Because of this process, the world is “greening” and deserts are shrinking almost everywhere you look. All due, it seems, to a natural rise in carbon “plant food” dioxide in addition to the small annual 4% portion contributed by humans burning hydrocarbons. This greening is inconvenient to the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) collectivist “Net Zero” agenda, however. Along with rising numbers of polar bears, the cyclical recovery in Arctic sea ice, and the recent record growth of coral on the Great Barrier Reef, the “climate emergency” narrative is coming unstuck. Naturally, there’s little mention of any of this in the corporate media. One recent article from the left-wing Guardian claims that “Desertification is turning the Earth barren.” The newspaper insists that the expansion of drylands is leaving entire countries “facing famine.” However, the fearmongering story simply doesn’t align with reality. A recent article in Yale Environment 360 reports the opposite. The report states that vegetation is growing faster, rather than shriveling and dying, and deserts are retreating. In fact, many scientists now think that this process will continue to accelerate into the future. According to the Yale article, CO2 is “fast-tracking” photosynthesis in plants. By allowing them to use scarce water more efficiently, the CO2-rich air fertilizes vegetation growth in even some of the driest places, observes Yale. For some time there has been “growing evidence” of global greening in all biomes, not just drylands, evidence that we can note has been ignored by the promoters of “Net Zero.” A Carbon Brief “explainer” claimed that desertification has been described as the greatest environmental challenge of our time “and climate change is making it worse”. Carbon Brief is funded by green activist billionaires including Sir Christopher Hohn, a past funder for recently jailed climate radicalist Roger Hallam and Extinction Rebellion. Its desert climate hysteria, like that of the Guardian, is therefore to be expected. Interestingly, Yale Environment 360, which is part of the Yale University School of the Environment, also receives heavy direct and indirect financial support from activist groups including ClimateWorks along with the Hewlett and Ford Foundations. The article is significant since it represents a “mainstream” breakthrough in discussing global greening which has been obvious for some time in specialist scientific circles. Perhaps it is not surprising that the Yale article tries to rain a little on the greening parade with a dose of climate gloom. Greening created by agricultural irrigation of fields can “obliterate arid-land ecosystems.” But this surely is human-caused and has nothing to do with a changing climate. “Save the deserts” may not be a popular environmental message, “but arid eco-systems matter,” continues Yale. Of course, there will be many who point out that if a few scorpions have to upsticks to make way for the better nutrition of millions of African children, this is a small price to pay. The article highlights much of the recent scientific work on global greening has been downplayed. Greening is more often than not ignored by messengers of the “Net Zero” narrative. Ground-breaking work in 2016 saw a team of 33 scientists from eight countries study NASA satellite images. They found that, since 1980, between a quarter and a half of the planet’s vegetated areas had shown an increase in their leaf area index (LAI), a standard measure of the abundance of plant life. Work at this time suggested a 14% increase in vegetation. A 2021 study at the University of California concluded that there had been a 12% increase in photosynthesis, with CO2 fertilization again the primary cause. A 2020 assessment from scientists at the Woodwell Climate Research Centre found that greening was “much more extensive than previously acknowledged” and more than three times greater than desertification. Yale noted findings that the greening encompassed 41% of the world’s drylands, from India to the African Sahel and northern China to south-eastern Australia. Chinese scientists have also been on the case. Last year, researchers at Lanzhou University found a “global divergence” between aridity and leaf area in drylands during the past three decades. This “decoupling” was said to be due to the effect of CO2. In February, another group of Chinese scientists found that over the last two decades, about 55% of global land mass revealed an “accelerated rate” of vegetation growth. “Global greening is an indisputable fact,” they state. They produced four datasets that showed greening accelerating since 2000 in 55.8% of the globe. Faster growth in India and the European plains was said to be the most obvious. Healthy growth can also be observed in the Amazon region, equatorial East Africa, southern coastal Australia, and Ireland. None of these findings should be a great surprise. CO2 levels have been much higher in the past going back 600 million years. Plants thrive at levels three times higher than current atmospheric CO2 and the near denudation amounts of the last few million years. During the last glacial period up to around 12,000 years ago, levels of atmospheric CO2 dropped to such dangerously low levels that plant – and human – life was severely threatened. Even with the small recovery we have seen in the recent past, plants grow larger and utilize existing water resources much more efficiently. This recovery of CO2 levels in the atmosphere holds out hope for higher food resources in many parts of the world that suffer from periodic famines. link

Claims That ‘Carbon Emissions’ Cause ‘Global Warming’ Are False, Study Finds
Frank Bergman August 4, 2024 - 10:41 am A new peer-reviewed study from a group of top researchers in Greece has found that the globalist anti-carbon narrative is a hoax. According to the study, popular claims that carbon dioxide (CO2) changes drive temperature changes currently or throughout the distant past are false. The researchers assert that these claims, often used to advance the globalist green agenda, “are based on imagination and climate models full of assumptions.” The comprehensive new study details a stochastic assessment determination of the sequencing of CO2 variations versus temperature variations since the 1950s, over the last 2,000 years (the Common Era), and throughout the last 541 million years. The unimpeachable conclusion is that the causality direction – with the understanding that causes lead and effects lag – clearly shows the temperature changes lead and CO2 changes lag on yearly, decadal, and centennial/millennial scales. In other words, “the reverse causality direction [CO2]→T should be excluded.” The claim that CO2 increases drive “climate change” through temperature changes is, therefore, a “narrative” only. The scientists warn that the claim that “humans, through their emissions by fossil fuel burning, are responsible for the changes we see in climate” can be regarded as a “non-scientific issue.” In just the last few years, the author has had a series of peer-reviewed scientific papers published supporting this same conclusion: Koutsoyiannis et al., 2022, Koutsoyiannis et al., 2020, Koutsoyiannis et al., 2023, Koutsoyiannis, 2024, Koutsoyiannis, 2024 Since these papers challenge the prevailing anthropogenic global warming (AGW) narrative so acutely, Dr. Koutsoyiannis has understandably been the recipient of antagonism bordering on vitriol from green agenda proponents. This includes comments from peer reviewers. So, in an apparent effort to foster transparency, he has made the peer reviewers’ comments on this latest paper public. The study comes as a growing number of experts continue to warn that the “climate change” narrative is a hoax. As Slay News reported, over 1600 scientists from around the world joined forces last year by signing a declaration stating that claims of a “climate emergency” threatening the Earth are false. The massive group of scientists, which includes two Nobel Prize winners, signed the World Climate Declaration (WCD). The WCD dismisses the existence of a “climate crisis” and insists that carbon dioxide is beneficial to Earth. The declaration directly conflicts with the popular alarmist narrative that claims humans are destroying the planet with their carbon output. As Slay News has reported, the anti-carbon agenda is part of the “Net Zero” goals pushed by the World Economic Forum (WEF) and other unelected globalist organizations. However, “Net Zero” has been increasingly dictating government policy in recent years. “Net Zero” has even become a fundamental part of Democrat President Joe Biden’s agenda. America has now even joined 13 other nations in signing a global pact to crack down on farming to “save the planet” from “carbon emissions.” The WCD was created by the Global Climate Intelligence Group (CLINTEL) and was first published in early August 2023, as Slay News reported at the time. Since it was published, hundreds of scientists have signed the WCD. “There is no climate emergency,” the WCD declares. “Climate science should be less political, while climate policies should be more scientific. “Scientists should openly address uncertainties and exaggerations in their predictions of global warming, while politicians should dispassionately count the real costs as well as the imagined benefits of their policy measures.” link

National Grid Executives Warn Citizens Must Prepare for Rolling Blackouts Due to ‘Net Zero’
Frank Bergman August 8, 2024 - 12:23 pm National Grid executives are warning that citizens must prepare for imminent rolling blackouts as governments push to comply with the “Net Zero” demands of the World Economic Forum (WEF). Industry whistleblowers have revealed that executives from the UK Grid’s Electricity System Operator (ESO) are raising the alarm that large portions of the population will soon be facing major power outages. An industry insider reportedly told the UK’s Telegraph that, in private conversations with the energy industry, ESO execs revealed that the network is now becoming so congested that “there will be blackouts in the South East by 2028.” They warned London and the South East of the country will be plunged into blackouts before the end of the decade due to “Net Zero” targets. However, the threat of blackouts is being kept hidden from the public, giving citizens little chance to prepare. In order to comply with the WEF’s “Net Zero” goals, the UK government heavily relies on unreliable wind and solar power. The ISO officials blamed the looming threat on the switch to less predictable “green” energy. The ESO is campaigning to introduce so-called zonal pricing where power suppliers can be paid more in the South East than elsewhere if demand is higher. A second energy industry source confirmed that the ESO is “very worried about keeping the lights on” in the region. They added that the possibility of blackouts was “credible” in the coming years if the government continues to play into the globalist “Net Zero” agenda. In a statement responding to the whistleblower claims, the ESO said that its official position did not predict blackouts in 2028. However, the ESO declined to comment on the private remarks. In the UK, the “Net Zero” push is being led by Ed Miliband – the leftist Labour Party government’s so-called Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero. According to a report from the Spectator, Miliband, who is listed as one of the “people” of the WEF, is not being “honest” with the public about his “decarbonization” agenda. The report notes the fact that National Grid’s “public utterances are at odds with what its executives are saying in private is perhaps the most worrying aspect. “It shows we are not having an open and honest debate about Miliband’s decarbonization plan, nor about Net Zero targets in general.” Meanwhile, the American people could also be facing the same fate. As Slay News reported earlier this week, Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris announced that her 2024 running mate is globalist climate-radical Gov. Tim Walz. Walz is a vocal advocate of the WEF’s “Net Zer” agenda. If elected vice president, Walz, the Democrat governor of Minnesota, wants to push for Americans to pay a so-called “carbon tax” to fight “climate change.” Walz argues that “carbon taxes” will ensure that the United States complies with the collectivist goals of “Net Zero.” Walz’s push for a so-called “carbon tax” perfectly aligns with the agenda of the WEF. As Slay News previously reported, the WEF has been increasingly pushing for “global carbon taxes” to be ushered in by governments around the world. Canada has already moved to comply with this agenda. In April, the Canadian government signed an agreement with the WEF that will see Canada begin paying taxes to the unelected globalist organization to supposedly “fight climate change.” Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government signed the WEF’s Global Minimum Tax agreement. The plan is part of the WEF’s New Global Tax Agenda. Once the agreement has been signed by globalist nations worldwide, governments will be paying billions of dollars a year into the WEF’s Global Carbon Tax program. The deal involves over 140 countries that have agreed to sign a multilateral international treaty consisting of two pillars. The U.S. government has yet to sign the agreement, but the outcome of the November election could change that. link

‘Manmade Climate Change’ Narrative Completely Fabricated, Study Warns
Frank Bergman August 11, 2024 - 11:51 am A recent study has concluded that globalist claims of “manmade climate change” are completely fabricated and have no basis in reality. The researchers found that there is no scientific evidence to support theories of anthropogenic “global warming.” According to the study, led by leading scientists in Greece, claims that humans cause “climate change” are based on imagination and assumptions. The study’s paper, authored by lead researcher Professor Demetris Koutsoyiannis of the National Technical University of Athens, was published in the scientific journal AIMS Press. In the “Conclusions” section of the study’s paper, the researchers write: “Rather, such claims are based on imagination and climatic models full of assumptions. “However, as shown in the causality direction in time series produced by climatic models is opposite to that of the real-world data.” The study found that the narrative of human-generated carbon dioxide (CO2)emissions affecting temperatures is based on fake science. In the “Abstract” section of the paper, Koutsoyiannis notes: “The premise of this study is that the climatic system is very complex and subject to perpetual change due to numerous processes, either internal or external to it.” “The fact that one of them, namely the relationship of climate with atmospheric CO2, is highlighted in the last decades does not correspond to its actual importance as a climate driver. “The promoted importance is a non-scientific issue, related to the narrative that humans, through their emissions by fossil fuel burning, are responsible for the changes we see in climate.” The study stated that, under the guise of science, the propagation of the anti-CO2 narrative is being driven by political and economic forces. In the “Introduction” section of the study, the researchers explain: “While causality is a fundamental notion in science and life, there also exist fundamental problems on philosophical, scientific, and practical grounds, in its essence and its identification. “These problems are manifested in controversies, which are not only theoretical but have important social, political, and economic implications. “Some of the most controversial issues of our time are related to Earth’s climate, not excluding the causal relationship between atmospheric temperature (T) and carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration.” The researchers also detail the dramatic changes in climate over massive amounts of time. They note that the Earth’s climate has been changing naturally for a far greater period than the time since the introduction of “fossil fuel” burning technology over the last 200 or so years. Before the Industrial Revolution, Earth has been through multiple ice ages and periods of far warmer temperatures than today. These changes are caused by multiple factors that have nothing to do with human influence. “Earth’s climate has varied in all times and on all time scales,” Koutsoyiannis explains. “Its variability should not be regarded a puzzle, given the huge complexity and the connections of the climatic system with numerous agents of change, internal, such as atmospheric composition, hydrological processes, and biosphere evolution, or external, such as geologic activity and tectonic changes, solar activity, galactic cosmic ray flux, and orbital changes. “Rather, the puzzling issue is the relative stability (small variation) of Earth’s climate. “Specifically, geological evidence presented by Veizer suggests the presence of running water as far back as we have a record, up to 3.8 or even 4.2 billion years, while it was thought that Earth would be in an ice ball state up to about 1 billion years ago because of the much smaller solar irradiance. “This is known as the faint young sun puzzle.” Primarily, the study deduced that human-caused carbon emissions are not causing temperature fluctuations on Earth. The method taken to conduct the research was analyzing previous geologic periods and comparing their CO2 and temperature trends to try and identify any corollary data. In the “Introduction” section, Koutsoyiannis states: “I use temperature and [CO2] data series for all these time frames, namely proxy data for the Phanerozoic, the Cenozoic, the late Quaternary, and the Common Era, and instrumental data for the last seven decades. “In Section 3, I explain the inappropriateness of deterministic methodologies for detecting causality and I adapt the stochastic methodology proposed in to be used with the above data series.” Notably, the study confirms that globalists such as the World Economic Forum (WEF), the United Nations (UN), Bill Gates, and other green agenda advocates are promoting the “manmade climate change” narrative because they have an ulterior motive. link

Bill Gates & WEF Advance Plans for ‘Climate Vaccines’
Frank Bergman June 3, 2024 - 12:54 pm Billionaire Bill Gates, the World Economic Forum (WEF), and their globalist allies are advancing plans that allegedly seek to “save the planet” from “climate change” through the use of vaccines. In recent months, unelected elites have been targeting the global food supply over claims that farming contributes to the so-called “climate crisis.” The WEF and the United Nations (UN) insist that emissions from agriculture are preventing governments from complying with “Net Zero” targets. The meet the goals of the WEF’s “Net Zero” agenda, governments are increasingly under pressure to destroy the farming industry, despite the obvious threat to the food supply. Gates, America’s largest farm owner and a vocal advocate of the anti-meat agenda, has been funding the development of new vaccines through his organization which he claims will help tackle “global warming.” According to Gates, livestock destined for the food supply can be injected with his vaccines to reduce their “methane emissions.” Obviously, this means the vaccines will end up in the food supply. However, reporter Yudi Sherman warns that the globalists are not planning to stop at just vaccinating animals and will also target the general public with the so-called “climate vaccines.” While this may sound extreme, Sherman notes that a company called ArkeaBio just raised $26.5 million in Series A seed funding. The funding will pay for the company to begin developing climate injections for the human masses. Once the World Health Organization’s (WHO) “Global Pandemic Treaty” is adopted, the vaccines could be forced onto the public once a “climate emergency” is declared. “If you can’t grasp the seriousness of this, then you may be marked for depopulation,” Sherman warns. Yet, the reality is that ArkeaBio has already begun developing a new “climate vaccine” that globalist scientists say will stop cows and other meat animals from releasing methane emissions, i.e., passing gas. The claim is that the injection will alter the animals’ immune systems in such a way as to create antibodies that target methane-producing microbes. ArkeaBio secured its first major investment in late 2022 from Breakthrough Energy Ventures (BEV). BEV is an investment fund founded by Bill Gates. “Our vaccination-based approach allows for much-needed decarbonization of global meat and dairy products across multiple geographies, supporting greater sustainability in agriculture,” the company’s website explains. ArkeaBio has not announced any plans to create a human version of its “global warming” injection yet. However, another company called Gingko Bioworks has developed climate shots for humans. Gingko, which is also funded by Gates, is pushing to develop mRNA injections that it says will “save the planet” from “global warming.” The WEF has been heavily advancing the plans, stating it is a “critical response to the climate crisis.” In December, British pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) on its website: “In the face of climate change, vaccines play a crucial but underestimated role.” AstraZeneca, maker of a viral vector Covid vaccine that was pulled from the market after being linked to sudden deaths, is also working on its own climate shots as well. Two months prior, Thomas Triomphe, executive vice president of vaccines at rival Sanofi, wrote an entire article called: “Vaccine innovation is a critical response to the climate crisis.” In the article, Triomphe expresses the same interest in developing “climate crisis” injections. The push from unelected globalist elites comes after Slay News recently published the results from a groundbreaking study that debunks the entire ant farming narrative. The study has debunked the globalist narrative that emissions from cows are causing “climate change” while proving that cattle herds actually lower methane gas levels in the atmosphere. According to the new study, blaming cows for methane emissions ignores cattle’s relationship with the land. The researchers found that, if grazing cattle were removed from pastures, emissions would actually go up, not down. The study cast significant doubt on the so-called “settled science” on alleged cattle emissions which has led to increasing scrutiny of farmers around the world. The researchers’ findings show that farmers are correct and the globalist narrative is nothing more than a hoax. Meanwhile, a separate peer-reviewed study recently provided conclusive scientific evidence proving that carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in Earth’s atmosphere cannot cause “global warming.” Dr. Jan Kubicki led a group of world-renowned Polish scientists to study the impact of increases in CO2 emissions on the Earth’s global temperatures. However, not only did they find that higher levels of CO2 made no difference, but they also proved that it simply isn’t possible for increases in carbon dioxide to cause temperatures to rise. Kubicki and his team recently published three papers which all conclude that Earth’s atmosphere is already “saturated” with carbon dioxide. This saturation means that, even at greatly increased levels of CO2, the “greenhouse gas” will not cause temperatures to rise. linkNOTE: Most experts agree that 1,500 ppm is the maximum CO2 level for maximum plant growth, although any CO2 level between 1,000ppm and 1,500ppm will produce greatly improved results. Greenhouse CO2 levels are jacked up to enhance plant growth. co2. earth/co2-ice-core-data The average CO2 ppm level the last thousand up till 1841 years averaged approximately 280ppm. Since 1841 CO2 levels have increased to 422ppm in Jan. 2024. That helps plant growth. Anything below 200ppm starves plant growth! Carbon dioxide is essential to the process of photosynthesis. Most plants grown indoors require a minimum CO2 concentration of 330 ppm to enable them to photosynthesize efficiently and produce energy in the form of carbohydrates. These concentrations of CO2 are enough for plants to grow and develop normally. Millions of years ago CO2 ppm levels and temperature was much higher. Plants thrived! Concentrations of CO 2 in the atmosphere were as high as 4,000 ppm during the Cambrian period about 500 million years ago, and as low as 180 ppm during the Quaternary glaciation of the last two million years. Ice core data does not lie! Greta Thunberg, Al Gore and Bill Gates are lying leftist frauds!
