Energy Bills to Rise Across US


Posted originally on Jun 11, 2024 By Martin Armstrong

The EPA is demanding that we abandon coal and fossil fuels without an alternative. The agency is seeking to shut down American power plants in favor of renewables. Energy prices are already reaching new highs. The National Energy Assistance Directors Association (NEADA) and the Center for Energy Poverty and Climate (CEPC) issued a warning that Americans should expect at least an 8% increase in energy bills this summer.

No, global warming is not the culprit. The hot summer is in line with cyclical weather patterns. America lost its ability to remain energy independent the very day Joe Biden entered the White House and signed away countless laws prohibiting production. The average AC bill was $661 over the summer months, according to CEPC and NEADA. These agencies believe those in the Mid-Atlantic and Pacific regions of the US will see a rise in energy prices by 12.2%, raising costs from June to September to $691 and $693. Those in the East South Central are expected to see a 10.1% hike over the same period and will pay around $774. East Noth Central is expected to see a 9.8% energy bill uptick ($581), while New England and West South Central will see rises of 5.3% ($760) and 1.8% ($581).

Naturally, these costs are on the low spectrum of estimates. Most of us pay far more to cool our homes over the summer. One must wonder why the EPA and Biden Administration believe it is appropriate to adhere to these climate change goals for Agenda 2030 when the average American is already struggling to afford cooling.

We are already paying for the slow switch from natural gas and coal to renewables. Energy companies have been forced to gradually make the switch, and soon, there will be no alternative. Once they completely banish fossil fuels, cooling one’s home will become a luxury. Anyone can look at their monthly billing to see how much their heating and cooling expenses have risen on a monthly and annual basis and it is far beyond 8%. Personally, I am seeing a rise of around 30%.

This is one of an array of basic living essentials that have multiplied in price in recent years under the Biden Administration. We allowed our leader to cripple our infrastructure and ability to remain energy independent. We are currently allowing him to sign even more restrictive pieces of legislation that will only force us to stretch our dollars thin to maintain our current lifestyles. Is anything Build Back Better yet?

Indefinite Weekend Driving Ban in Germany?

Germany is moving full speed ahead to reach their asinine climate targets. The citizens who are in essence the very carbon they wish to destroy must be punished for not sacrificing enough to uphold Angela Merkel’s Climate Protection Act. Transport Minister Volker Wissing is now threatening the German people with “an indefinite weekend driving ban.”

“In the dispute over a reform of the Climate Protection Act, Federal Transport Minister Volker Wissing (FDP) has warned of drastic cuts for motorists – including weekend driving bans. This is according to a letter from Wissing to the heads of the SPD, Green and FDP parliamentary factions. It was made available to the Deutsche Presse-Agentur on Thursday …

The letter states that if the amended Climate Protection Act does not come into force before 15 July, the ministry will be obliged under the current law to present an action programme to ensure compliance with the annual emission levels for the transport sector in the coming years.”

The climate zealots are worried that this overt threat will expose their ultimate goal to reduce, if not outlaw, private car ownership. Greenpeace has even come out and criticized Wissing for threatening driving bans, as if that measure is not precisely the goal of reducing emissions and ultimately 15-minute cities. Members of various parties in Germany, most of whom support climate change reductions, have attempted to redact his statements. Afterall, Germany does have a poor not so distant history of limiting freedom of movement.

It is not responsible for a minister to stir up unfounded fears,” Green Party parliamentary group leader Katharina Droege said, despite being in favor of reducing 80% of emissions by 2030 and making Germany climate-neutral by 2035.

The Free Democrats (FDP) believe that Germany should be climate-neutral by 2045, and while they reject banning car ownership, they would like to begin by implementing speed limits and favoring companies that abide by clean energy trade agreements.

The Social Democrat Party (SDP), highly in favor of forcing Germany to rely completely on renewable energy by 2040, criticized the proposal as well: “The proposal does not further our common goal of reducing CO2 emissions, but to unnecessary uncertainty for people in our country.” The SPD Bundestag faction clearly rejects driving bans for cars and lorries. Such manoeuvres would hardly advance the ongoing deliberations on the Climate Protection Act in the Bundestag, said Müller.”

The AfD Party is the only one in Germany who believes that climate change is not a man-made phenomenon. Hence, the government is attempting to frame the AfD as far-right radicals who wish harm on all of society. The AfD has agreed to keep the restrictions of the Paris Agreement, however, but will not eliminate fossil fuels.

The Germans must understand that their politicians are failing to act in the best interest of Germany. Instead, they are acting upon the wishes of the larger globalist agenda that does not want to see a strong single economy but a unified collection of a one-world government power.

There are an estimated 49,098,685 cars on the road in Germany. This law would change the lives of countless Germans, German manufacturing, and permit the government to have untold power over the people. This is why the media has presented the only party in Germany showing resistance to the climate change agenda as a threat. The true threat are the people in Bonn and Brussels.

Bad Hygiene is Good for the Environment


Posted May 1, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

shower

We are expected to sacrifice all of our Earthly comforts in the name of climate change. The latest issue brewing across the media is water conservation, specifically taking daily showers. Experts at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) state that the average 8-minute shower wastes 20 gallons of water. There are now calls to establish a new norm of NOT SHOWERING every day to save the environment.

There’s no need to shower every day,” a recent BBC article suggests. The author said she showers a mere three times a week, which would be seen as a sign of an underlying mental health disorder if not for climate conservation efforts. The author said some of her friends only need to bathe once per week. The article quotes chemist David Whitlock, who went 12 years without a shower, only spraying himself with “good bacteria.” The article calls out numerous “experts” who do not shower every day and are “brave” for admitting their hygiene habits.

Climate zealots are attempting to frame daily showers as a “performative act.” “If you go 100 years back, we didn’t shower every day, because the shower was not a normal thing to have,” Professor Kristen Gram-Hanssen from the Department of the Build Environment of Aalborg University in Denmark, as quoted by the NY Post. “We don’t shower because of health. We shower because it’s a normal thing to do.”

Caracalla Baths Rome

They cannot gaslight independent thinkers. Everyone I know will tell you that skipping a shower leads to poor hygiene, skin and hair problems, and unpleasant odors. Bathing is a simple concept we teach toddlers.

Diseases were more prevalent when people failed to clean themselves. The ancient Romans built intricate aqueduct systems to ensure their people were cleansed. The Grihya Sutras texts of ancient India, dating back to around 500 BCE, discuss daily hygiene rituals. Traders who visited ancient Japan were amazed at how sanitary the people were, as bathing was an early part of their culture.

The powers that be were insisting we wash our hands numerous times a day to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, but now they want us to sit in our own filth? The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has suggested that Americans begin cutting down their time in the shower. The EPA believes we can save 2.5 gallons of water for every minute spent out of the shower. They suggest we wash our hair with the water off and believe five minutes in the shower is more than sufficient. Now, the EPA wants to frame this as a way to cut down on utility costs.

Countless articles are appearing across the web that urge the public to cut down on their time in the shower. Bad hygiene is the latest method of virtue signaling. They slowly embed these concepts into the public’s mind to engrain their version of the “new norm.” We are to reduce our consumption in all areas to combat a problem that does not exist. Notice the slow roll of propaganda that the media presents, as I, for one, do not want this grotesque “new norm.”

Trans Health Secretary Warns Climate Change Hurts Black Americans


Posted originally on Feb 26, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

What happened to this world? Admiral Rachel Levine was appointed as the U.S. Public Health Service, Assistant Secretary for Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services under Biden’s diversity cabinet. Does this look like the face of health to you? A video is recirculating during Black History Month as a reminder that Black Americans are disproportionately affected by climate change health concerns.

This video should make your head spin if you live in reality. Unfortunately, this is a real video funded by the US government, and not AI or a comedy sketch. This utter nonsense was first touted by none other than the World Economic Forum (WEF). Ruma Bhargava, the WEF Mental Health Lead, declared last year that “the impacts of climate change vary greatly between countries and population groups. This climate crisis is a deeply unfair one, with the poor being disproportionately affected.” Bhargava is renowned for targeting women and children in poverty-stricken areas of India.

The Office of Environmental Justice (OEJ), another unnecessary department created under Biden-Harris that has no relevance to our reality, now seeks funding to save Black Americans from climate change. The Biden Administration is spending BILLIONS on climate initiatives like the Environmental Protection Agency, which is set to receive $12 billion in funding this year. That marks a 19% increase in spending from 2023 or $1.9 billion.

EPA is at the center of President Biden’s ambitious environmental agenda and the FY 2024 Budget will ensure the Agency delivers bold environmental actions and economic benefits for all. Coupled with the President’s historic investments in America through significant legislative accomplishments, the Budget will advance EPA’s mission across the board, boosting everything from our efforts to combat climate change, to delivering clean air, safe water, and healthy lands, to protecting communities from harmful chemicals, and to the continued restoration of capacity necessary to effectively implement these programs,” said EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan. “Importantly, the Budget also supports our work to center environmental justice across all of the Agency’s programs, ensuring that no family, especially those living in overburdened and underserved areas, has to worry about the air they breathe, the water they drink, or the environmental safety of their communities.”

Ohio Train Disaster 2023

Do you get it yet? They are lying to the public about climate change for funding and power. Where were the funds for Maui or East Palestine? There are places in the US, like Flint, Michigan, that still do not have clean drinking water for their residents. The victims of Maui received pennies in comparison to the migrants, Ukraine, and Israel, while Biden forgot the derailment in East Palestine even occurred until about a year later.

The Biden Administration does NOT care about the environment, disadvantaged citizens, or anyone else. Yellen even admitted that the Inflation Reduction Act, America’s largest spending package, was a trojan horse to fund climate initiatives. The only climate they want to change is your reality.

EU Proposes New Climate Target for 2040

EU Proposes New Climate Target for 2040

The European Union is leading the climate change psyop and releasing recommendations that are completely unattainable and unnecessary. Brussels would now like to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by an astonishing 90% by 2040.

“Setting a 2040 climate target will help European industry, investors, citizens and governments to make decisions in this decade that will keep the EU on track to meet its climate neutrality objective in 2050,” the Commission said in a press release. Last year was one of the warmest on record since 1850, as it was cyclically time for a warmer atmosphere. They refuse to look at data before 1850 as it does not support the psyop or climate fear-mongering.

What would be required to reach a 90% reduction in emissions? The entire structure of society would need to change, and new technology would be required. Fossil-fueled cars, buses, and planes could not exist, and any in existence would need to be destroyed. Transportation, in general, would need to be reestablished. Farming would need to be reinvented to produce the same if not more, food while remaining CO2-neutral. Every nation would need to create a brand new electrical grid that relies solely on alternative energy sources that could sustain the entire population. Cargo ships would need to find a new way to transport goods, and manufacturing in general would need to be reinvented. Every home would need to use renewable energy, and buildings would need to be transformed, if not entire cities.

Stone Age

We could all pass away and stop producing CO2, and that would still not be enough for the people in Brussels who are using this climate change psyops to tax the people endlessly. They have shifted from the COVID psyop to climate change. Changes in the weather are the new pretend emergency that requires total abandonment of life as we know it. Should we rely solely on horse and buggy systems for transportation and use candles rather than electricity? The only method to meet these unattainable goals would be to revert as a civilization entirely and live as our unevolved ancestors. But hey, at least they didn’t have to pay taxes.

Mona Lisa & Climate Change


Posted originally on Feb 2, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

Mona Lisa

Last weekend, some Climate Change Activists entered the Louvre Museum in Paris and splashed carrot soup on the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci. Those involved in this Climate Change agenda are complete fools, and it is easy to see how brainwashed these people are, just like some young Arab convinced he will get 73 virgins if he blows himself up. I know someone who interviewed one of the masterminds behind terrorism, and he concluded that they would never do what they tell these young kids to do by killing themselves.

Linseed Oil

These people are so brainwashed that they are attacking famous oil paintings to protest against fossil fuels, which were not even discovered until hundreds of years after these paintings were made. Another brainwashed idiot did the same thing at the Whitney Museum in New York City. Oil paintings are not made with crude oil but Linseed oil, also known as flaxseed oil or flax oil, obtained from the dried, ripened seeds of the flax plant. I suppose they should go to Greece and protest making olive oil. That must surely be risking total extinction.

Climate Activist

The Mona Lisa wasn’t damaged because it is behind bullet-proof glass. Still, there is something seriously wrong with the Climate Change lunatics. They are attacking art because they are oil paintings. Yet these idiots will never amount to anything in life and would also blow themselves up if some guru told them to do so.

Climate Change – You Are the Problem


Posted originally on Dec 31, 2023 By Martin Armstrong 

You are the Carbon We have to Reduce

Let’s get real. The entire nonsense of climate change is camouflage for the real agenda of reducing the population. Bill Gates has been funding this and reducing the people, for you are the carbon he wants to eliminate. This entire idea that was stuffed into his head by his father dates back to Malthus.

Malthus

They will create plagues that fulfill our disease models, and you have Kerry running around to reduce the food supply, claiming agriculture is a major source of climate change, so to reduce the food supply that will inevitably cause starvation and kill as many people as possible. These people will make Hitler look like just an amateur. Malthus did not understand cycles. In his 1798 book An Essay on the Principle of Population, Malthus argued that an increase in a nation’s food production had improved the well-being of the population; however, that improvement was temporary because it led to population growth. So the population would exceed the food supply and that was the doom of society. He never understood cycles and certainly failed to comprehend that innovation is part of the cycle.

Constantinople Fall 1

The invention of gunpowder that led to cannons was how the Turks conquered Byzantium when its wall had been impenetrable for centuries.  The development of oil as an energy source saved the whales, but it gave birth to the automobile, which expanded civilization into the suburbs.

Tractor

The discovery of fossil fuels enabled the combustion engine, which was then applied to farming. That increased the food production. Fertilizers were developed, and now Kerry and Gates realize that they have to kill food production to bring about Malthus’s prediction of 1798.

1970 2006 Time Climate Change

Kerry is a flat, outright propagandist for this entire climate change agenda. He states that scientists are correct for 30 years. That is just total BS. They were predicting an ice age in the 1970s. What happened to the hole in the ozone layer? Remember we were all going to die from acid rain?

Rise Fall or Empires Climate

Strangely, Bill Gates is now the largest farmland/landowner in the United States, which is a paradox, just like his vaccines to save people while pushing to reduce the population. Gates began buying up farmland in 2013 and now owns about 270,000 acres spread across 18 different states. He has a little more than one-third of the state of Rhode Island, a stunning amount for one person. So why does Bill Gates keep buying up so much farmland if this is a significant factor in climate change? Some find it a sinister paradox when Gates isn’t changing the practices of the farmers renting the land. Does this put him in the position to stop food production when he feels the time is right?

2022 Dutch Farmers
224 years Cycle agriculture Malthus

This attack on farming ironically has come exactly 224 years from Malthus trying to reduce agriculture production now, and with the climate turning colder, throw in a couple of volcanoes, and we have a major agricultural crisis on our hands. None of this makes any sense.

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.

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?
