Biden Dept of Energy Continues War on Consumers – New Fridge/Freezer and Fans Regulations Enacted


Posted originally on the CTH on December 29, 2023 | Sundance

We all know the routine. Water-saving toilets that don’t flush (flush twice), water/energy-saving dishwashers and clothes washers that don’t clean (run two cycles), lightbulbs that don’t light, dryers that don’t dry (run twice), and all the ancillary nonsense that comes from the intervention of the regulatory state.

What Biden and the progressive movement call the “green new deal” effort toward “sustainability,” including the ban on gas stoves and internal combustion engines, simply results in a diminished quality of life, a loss in lifestyle productivity, and the exact opposite outcome from their expressed/intended purpose.  It’s an abject mess of stupidity, pushed under the guise of environmentalism.

Today the Biden Dept of Energy (DOE) takes it one step further with rules and regulations on fridges, freezers and fans. {DOE LINK}

Residential Refrigerators and Freezers – The efficiency standards being adopted today for residential refrigerators, refrigerator-freezers, and freezers, which have not been updated in over a decade, align with recommendations from a diverse set of stakeholders, including manufacturers, the manufacturing trade association, energy, environmental, and consumer advocacy groups, states, and utilities. Compliance will be required either January 31, 2029, or January 31, 2030, depending on the configuration of the refrigerator or freezer. The energy savings over 30 years of shipments is 5.6 quadrillion British thermal units, which represents a savings of 11% relative to the energy use of products currently on the market. DOE estimates that the standards would save consumers $36.4 billion over 30 years of shipments and result in cumulative emission reductions of nearly 101 million metric tons of carbon dioxide—an amount roughly equivalent to the combined annual emissions of 12.7 million homes. 

Commercial Fans and Blowers – DOE also released a proposed rulemaking for commercial fans and blowers that would reduce energy costs for American businesses by $3.3 billion annually. This proposal—the first federal standard for this product—follows the lead of efficiency standards already established by the state of California for general fans, extending savings to consumers nationwide and providing clarity for manufacturers. If adopted within DOE’s proposed timeframe, the new rule will come into effect in 2029. DOE estimates the new rule will reduce utility costs for American businesses by nearly $56 billion over 30 years of shipments, while reducing carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 318 million metric tons—an amount roughly equivalent to the combined annual emissions of 40 million homes.  (MORE)

Now we will see air conditioning units that don’t cool, fridges that don’t chill, freezers that don’t keep things frozen and fans that do not move air.

Eventually, the compliant generations still to come will be sitting around a campfire eating sustainable algae cakes and bugs, while picking parasites off each other, because progress, environmental justice – or ESG something.

Destroying Farmland to Reduce Population


Posted originally on Dec 19, 2023 By Martin Armstrong 

Maltus 1803
Wind Mill Destroy Farmland

Everywhere you look, there is this scheme to reduce farming, which will reduce population. That was the whole theory of Thomas Malthus (1766-1834) that the population would surpass the ability to grow food. That is the agenda. Wind generators or solar panels consume one-third of the farmland worldwide. This is what has inspired this thinking that we MUST reduce the population. War is a great tool for that, which is one reason they are pushing World War.

They insist that industrial agriculture, which is employed by the majority of the developed world, is creating climate change. The U.S. food system contributes nearly 20% of the nation’s carbon dioxide emissions. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) says that agricultural land use contributes 12% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Then, they add the embodied energy required for industrial agriculture, and they claim this gets worse. The manufacture and use of pesticides and fertilizers, fuel and oil for tractors, equipment, trucking, and shipping, electricity for lighting, cooling, and heating, and emissions of carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and every possible greenhouse gas they can think of, increases the impact up to between 25% to 30% which is the number used by John Kerry.

In other words, they want to reduce agriculture, shipping, refrigeration, air conditions, and turn off heat in the winter, and reduce the population by 30-40%, and maybe they would be satisfied. They get to impose their tyrannical policies with absolutely ZERO evidence to support their theory because they ignore that natural cycles have existed for millions of years. Climate has always changed. The temperatures have NOT exceeded historical norms. The data from NYC shows that we have NOT exceeded the highs of  1932 and the days of the Dust Bowl. The mainstream media only repeats what they are told and NEVER does any mainstream media dare to investigate anything.

Climate Crowd Coming for Cooling Appliances

Global warming cooling climate change

Davos man John Kerry is continuing to “pledge” for stricter regulations on behalf of the people after the United Nations climate change summit (COP28). He already committed $3 billion to eliminating coal and believes emissions could be slashed by 68% come 2050. Now, John Kerry is out to eliminate the energy we use to cool our homes.

The world experienced heat waves throughout the summer months. The globalists like Kerry do not believe that we, the Great Unwashed, should be using energy to cool ourselves. “We want to lay out a pathway to reduce cooling-related emissions across all sectors but increase access to sustainable cooling,” Kerry told COP28. There are now a swarm of articles online about “cooling appliances” as if their existence is ruining our planet. Fox reported that 7% of all greenhouse gas emissions come from refrigerants and energy used for cooling.

First, they came after our technology for heating our homes and food. They want to phase out gas stoves and reduce our heating consumption. Coal has been nearly prohibited, killing an entire sector. We have no alternative to fossil fuel but continue to “pledge” countless net zero measures as if the people had the power to alter the weather.

Kerry Climate Czar

Over 30 million Americans struggled to pay their utilities bills in 2022, with 5 million citizens experiencing a disruption in services as they could not pay their bills.

UAE Sultan Al Jaber declared there is absolutely “no science” behind these disastrous demands to eliminate fossil fuels. Only the Build Back Better countries are adhering to these plans, as nations like China, in particular, have stated they would not participate. They are going to tax us for heating and cooling our homes and food. Soon we will realize that we are the carbon they wish to eliminate.

Guess what – Bill & Klaus. I drove to the food store and stopped by a gasoline station to fill up my Porsche. You know what that’s like, Bill, since you have a 959. Well, someone was in an accident and took down a pole that had fiber-optic connections to the internet. The whole area was down. OMG, I had to pay in cash or no gas risking I might die from handling money and in desperate need of your vaccine which is like playing Russian Roulette. Can you imagine how primitive it was?

What if you had to pay cash to fill up your private jet?

Japan and Denmark Collaborate on Floating Wind Turbines


Armstrong Economics Blog/Climate Re-Posted Oct 25, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen met with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida to discuss offshore wind turbines. Denmark is a leader in wind turbine technology, while Japan has an advantage in shipbuilding technology. Japan has stated that it plans to increase its offshore wind power by 60% by 2030. Biden stated he wants to power 10 million homes in America with offshore wind power by 2030, which is our computer’s 2032. The UK, Denmark, and other nations aligned with the Great Reset are also targeting 2030 and the industry as a whole is growing rapidly.

This fishing industry has warned that this technology will prevent them from yielding the same amount of fish each year. This will impact our overall food supply. But we will have bug protein to supplement us. No one knows the repercussions of placing these massive devices in the ocean. The environmentalists don’t want the energy companies drilling for oil, but they are OK with drilling deep into sea beds.

One study believes that this technology could hurt surface predators such as plankton and disrupt all sea life. The powerful wind structures could change the ocean’s upwelling and impact water temperature, and therefore move nutrient-dense water that those at the bottom of the food chain depend on to survive. “The consequences of these changes in physical upwelling structure on the ecosystem are currently unknown and could potentially form future areas of investigation that could also include an assessment of fisheries and socio-economic effects,” a recent study published on Nature admitted.

Japan and Denmark have a lofty goal of reducing greenhouse has emissions by 2030 before going to net-zero by 2050. “What I’m hoping for is that the effort to increase offshore wind in Japan will produce a ketchup effect, where you try to get the ketchup out of the bottle but nothing much comes out until suddenly it does, after much effort,” a Danish ambassador to Japan told the Japan Times. The Danish Energy Agency discussed the 2020 New Climate Agreement in which there will be a “new era with energy islands.” “An energy island serves as a hub for electricity generation for the surrounding wind farms, by collecting and distributing the electricity between countries connected by an electricity grid,” the report explains. Denmark believes it could power portions of Europe.

The Japan-Denmark partnership could be promising as nations are pledging their support for Agenda 2030 and spending to implement these structures, regardless of their efficiency or actual impact on the ecosystem.

Solar forcing may have a 4 to 7 times greater effect on climate change than current climate models indicate


New Studies: Selection Bias In Datasets Advances A False Narrative The Sun Has No Climate Impact
New Studies: Selection Bias In Datasets Advances A False Narrative The Sun Has No Climate Impact

Solar forcing may have a 4 to 7 times greater effect on climate change than current climate models indicate, which may mean modern climate change is predominantly natural rather than anthropogenic.
Anthropogenic global warming (AGW) attribution may be significantly dependent on the choice of dataset.
Advocates of AGW may only use Total Solar Irradiance (TSI) reconstructions that align with the perspective that the Sun has little to no impact on climate. Consequently, climate models may only use the PMOD’s model-based satellite data (which shows a declining trend since 1980) rather than the ACRIM (which shows an increasing TSI trend from the 1980s to 2000s).
The biased selection of long-term TSI reconstructions that show little to no variability are also preferred over TSI reconstructions with large variability. For example, the uncertainty in the estimate of the increase in TSI since the Maunder Minimum (1645-1715) ranges anywhere from 0.75 W/m² to 6.3 W/m² (Yeo et al., 2020). AGW advocates will, of course, select the lowest TSI change value (0.75 W/m²) and reject the higher values (6.3 W/m²), as then it is much easier to attribute modern warming to anthropogenic activity rather than to solar forcing.
The IPCC has selected one TSI dataset in the latest (2021) report for its global warming attribution assessments and climate models (GCMs). The dataset of course aligns only with the view modern warming is human-caused, and not natural, and thus it depicts a declining TSI trend since 1980 (PMOD) and almost no variability since the Maunder Minimum.
A new study (Connolly et al., 2023 with press release) identifies 27 other TSI estimates (purposely) ignored by the IPCC, several of which suggest modern warming may be up to 71-87% natural – especially if the temperature stations that do not show a strong artificial urban warming bias are used.
“Several of these different solar activity estimates suggest that most of the warming observed outside urban areas (in rural areas, oceans, and glaciers) could be explained in terms of the Sun.”

Another new study (Scafetta, 2023) suggests the Sun’s real climate impact may be 4-7 times larger than just from TSI (radiative) forcing alone, as the solar activity variations may mechanistically affect cloud albedo, which has been observed to drive 1-3 W/m² per decade changes in shortwave forcing (McLean, 2014).
“Thus, at least about 80% of the solar influence on the climate could be generated by processes other than direct TSI forcing.”
Climate models do not allow for any solar influence beyond the small, flat radiative forcing changes associated with TSI forcing, as this way it can be claimed that natural factors have little to no bearing on climate change.
Alternative solar activity records, as shown in TSI #2 Model below, have the Sun’s total impact directly linked to global temperature changes, including for recent decades.

The American Climate Corps


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Sep 27, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

https://youtube.com/watch?v=pWBAu1uexI4%3Ffeature%3Doembed

Joe Biden has created a workforce initiative called the American Climate Corps who will be responsible for carrying out the climate change agenda. The program promises “good-paying” jobs “aligned with high-quality employment opportunities after they complete their paid training or service program.” Over 20,000 youth will have an opportunity to apply within the first year. Some are comparing this to Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Civilian Conservation Corps, but it is nothing of the sort.

FDR created the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1933 amid the Great Depression. The program provided 3 million jobs to young men between 18 and 25 and permitted them to work in America’s public forests, lands, and parks. The men were guaranteed three meals per day with lodging accommodations. They earned only $30 per month, but sent $25 home to their families. Nature, not climate, was preserved and these men were bordering on indentured servitude for the US government but everyone won due to the nature of the times.

The American Climate Corps is intended to push the Green New Deal and push the youth into newer and largely unnecessary industries. “The American Climate Corps will focus on equity and environmental justice – prioritizing communities traditionally left behind, including energy communities that powered our nation for generations, leveraging the talents of all members of our society, and prioritizing projects that help meet the Administration’s Justice40 goal,” the White House stated on its website. “Equity” is a keyword for the Biden Administration who also wants to prioritize jobs for “traditionally left behind” persons. All of these individuals will receive a government paycheck and pensions at a massive cost to taxpayers. Some estimates believe the program will require $132.5 billion in spending, but that’s just the beginning as they will continue to grow this unnecessary government-funded workforce.

Most of the men in FDR’s Civilian Conservation Corps served in World War II after their service. They were not asking for handouts or burdening the taxpayer. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Edward Markey (D-Mass.) were major supporters of this measure as they have been waiting for the Green New Deal to take place. Biden is attempting to lure the youth ahead of the election by promising “good-paying” entry-level jobs that align with the Build Back Better agenda.

Greta Poses for the Cameras Amid Arrest


Armstrong Economics Blog/Climate Re-Posted Sep 19, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Greta Thunberg is willing to defy the authorities to fight climate change, or at least that is what they want you to believe. They paint this young girl as a radical activist when she is planted counter-opposition. Greta was arrested for the second time last week for refusing to leave a sit-in at a protest terminal. The picture above shows the true nature of her arrest.

Greta was not violently carted off by the authorities and thrown into a cell. The police held her up for the cameras for the best propaganda pictures. Reuters is reporting that the young globalist could face up to six months behind bars – yeah, right! “It is absurd that those who act in line with science should pay the price for it,” Thunderg stated after her first arrest. She pleaded “not guilty” in June, citing that she was blocking the oil trucks from committing a climate catastrophe. “I believe that we are in an emergency that threatens life, health, and property. Countless people and communities are at risk both in the short term and in the long term,” Thunberg said in court.

Her next trial is on September 27, and no doubt she will be telling the court that she was saving the world. Simply look at the footage Reuters published. It shows a small girl being dragged by the police, but in truth, the police knew that her arrest was a marketing tool for the climate change agenda. Even a simple Google search on the event is littered with headlines such as “Greta Thunberg forcibly removed from climate protest after fine” or “Greta Thunberg charged with disobeying police order at climate protest.”

Greta Thunberg is not an activist. She was a child who fell in with the wrong crowd at Greenpeace who handed her over to the World Economic Forum to be used for marketing purposes only. Greta Thunberg managed to accumulate a net worth of $18 million at 20 years old through brand deals, speaking engagements, and sponsorships. These public spectacles are merely part of her job as a propaganda puppet.

Britain To Imprison People For Not Complying with Net Zero


Armstrong Economics Blog/BRITAIN Re-Posted Sep 9, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

It is time we understand that the climate change agenda and COVID have been adopted for a single reason. The governments can no longer kick the can down the road regarding debt. The current monetary system is unsustainable. As a result, they will default on their national debts, which will wipe out pensions. These measures are to use their power under the pretense of some bogus issue to justify tyrannical suppression. They refuse to reform, so as a result – they will dig their heels in and sweep all our rights away for our good to protect our health and save the planet of which it is a race to see which one they care the less about since they are both fake.

The British legislation will be snuck into US law and will empower the government to imprison anyone who fails to adhere to energy consumption regulations for up to a year and fines of up to £15,000. The state’s prosecutions will also be allowed to charge you with false information, lying to the government, etc., which will be the more traditional obstruction of justice crimes that can imprison you for five years or more.

This type of tyranny will lead to the revolutions our computer is projecting by the time we get to 2032. They will take away everything to retain power. The new people elected to office are never allowed behind the curtain. They are told they MUST vote along party lines, or the party will go against them. The former head of the Republicans, Boehner, did that to the Tea Party people. The Democrats launched IRS investigations against the Tea Party because they thought getting elected to Congress meant they could change things. There is no path to such reform.
