Chancellor Merkel Rejects Cabinet Climate Change Effort to Stop Coal Energy Use


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on May 15, 2021 | Sundance | 135 Comments

Angela Merkel is essentially the de-facto global head of modern political liberalism. The central tenet, almost religious-based in its importance, is the lunacy within “climate change”. However, as most reasonable people have concluded, the ‘climate discussions’ are more about controlled global economics than any actual concerns about planetary climatology. Bottom line, it’s the economics that really matter beyond all else.

CTH has pointed out for several years that Germany’s Angela Merkel, a beloved leader amid the political left, was never going to put her economy in a position of weakness just to appease the environmental lobby.   Chancellor Merkel is a nationalist at heart and within that outlook progressive causes can be advocated but only to the extent that Germany can retain a superior economic condition.

Despite her being heralded by the progressive movement in the U.S, it is all a farce.  Angela Merkel is a political case study in what leftists refuse to admit and even more leftists deny; that is the reality behind the hypocrisy.  The narrative fraud was evident when President Trump pulled out of the Paris climate treaty and immediately Merkel said Germany would also not comply with the treaty demands. From Merkel’s position Germany must always retain a superior position within the EU, no matter what.

The most recent example of this comes from Merkel rejecting carbon emission reduction requirements from her own government.  Merkel knows the environmental wing is full of moonbat policy that runs counter to the economic need of her nation.  Despite the ‘greens’ gaining legislative seats, she will not support carbon dictates that are against the interests of manufacturing and multinational corporations in Germany:

(Via Reuters) German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Saturday rejected demands to bring forward an exit date for ending coal generation in Germany, currently set at 2038. {SEE HERE}

“Those affected need some reliability on the path to climate neutrality,” Merkel said. “I don’t want to unravel this again after one year.”

Climate activists say that without an earlier coal phase-out, the more ambitious climate protection targets which Merkel’s government just agreed on cannot be achieved. (LINK)

The policy and advocacy behind the climate change narrative is a globalist control effort, nothing more.  Carbon exchanges and carbon taxes are the holy grail objectives for globalists and elite institutions of power and finance.  It is all a control effort.

The day after President Trump announced his decision to withdraw from the Paris Climate Treaty, the German auto-sector immediately responded with a statement.  We see the immediate admission that ‘climate’ is simply a tool to shape global economics within that reactionary auto industry statement (emphasis mine):

(Via Reuters) […] “The regrettable announcement by the USA makes it inevitable that Europe must facilitate a cost efficient and economically feasible climate policy to remain internationally competitive,” Matthias Wissmann, president of the German auto industry lobby group VDA, said in a statement on Friday.

“The preservation of our competitive position is the precondition for successful climate protection. This correlation is often underestimated,” Wissmann said, adding that the decision by the Unites States was disappointing. (link)

As clearly stated, when push comes to shove German sensibilities are connected more to their economics than to any do-gooder need to save the planet.

Climate change is a globalist tool.  Angela Merkel knows this.  President Trump also knew that Merkel knows this.  That is the essence behind why President Trump consistently said he and Angela Merkel get along great, and the leftists (who could not reconcile Trump’s statements against their own false belief) always had that snarky weird look on their face.

Having Children is the Most Destructive Thing the Planet?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Population Re-Posted May 12, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

These people are truly insane. If they believe that humans are the most destructive thing on this planet, then they should lead the way to mass suicide. It makes one think that perhaps in protest, we need to go have as many children as possible, for the birth rates have been declining. I have been in discussions in Europe, and the main reason they have welcomed the immigrants is that their birth rate has declined, and their social programs are collapsing. By allowing the immigrants into Europe, the true objective was to increase the workforce in hopes of sustaining the Socialist system and retirement plans that are crumbling.

Gates has won the day. He is having all of these environmentalists taking grants from his foundation to put out studies to support his position of reducing the population.

Melinda Gates to Divorce Bill – Hallelujah


Armstrong Economics Blog/Disease Re-Posted May 3, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Bill and Melinda Gates are filing for divorce. The inside scoop is she has not been happy with his direction of changing the world and all the hate mail directed at them. It was really just a question of time. What Bill Gates has set out to force the world to ZERO CO2 and to reduce the population has gradually eaten away at Melinda. Some suggest that she has an inner conscious about humanity which is absent from Bill. This will be a most interesting DIVORCE for it seems to actually fit with our models.

I published this forecast on Gates back on May 8, 2020. I warned back then that this was the peak of his eighth 8.6-year wave which hit April 28th, 2020. Gates’ and Schwab’s attempt to take over the world using scare tactics is a very dangerous proposition. I warned that the “ideal peak in his power may have taken place on April 28th and that is good news for us. If this proves correct, he should be in for a fall in prestige and power going into 2024.”

His divorce is actually coming right on target. It is actually a welcome piece of news that his wife is divorcing him. It pretty much confirms that the peak in his power was indeed April 2020 when he launched this Great Reset. Perhaps all the hatred being poured out against Gates has finally made Melinda see the real person that he is – a very dangerous individual. The peak of his 8.6-year personal cycle also marked 26 years of his marriage.

Hallelujah – the Self-Annoited Health Czar of the World has reached his peak!

Are we Headed into Another Ice Age?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Climate Re-Posted Apr 29, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Our model has projected we are entering another “grand-minimum,” which will overtake the sun beginning in 2020 and will last lasting through the 2050s, resulting in diminished magnetism, infrequent sunspot production, and less ultraviolet (UV) radiation reaching Earth. This all means we are facing a global cooling period in the planet that may span 31 to 43 years. The last grand-minimum event produced the mini-Ice Age in the mid-17th century. Known as the Maunder Minimum, it occurred between 1645 and 1715, during a longer span of time when parts of the world became so cold that the period was called the Little Ice Age, which lasted from about 1300 to 1850.

If Gates blocks the sun as he has been suggesting off-camera, we are looking at not just the reduction of population by 70%, but all life. Gates is surprised about how he and Fauci are the #1 targets. This again only shows his elitist position. Others have used a Deep Learning AI program that can only do one dimension. Nevertheless, applying it to sunspots they interestingly arrived at a similar forecast — Gates & Schwab are DEAD WRONG!

Population Crisis


Armstrong Economics Blog/ECM Re-Posted Apr 28, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Marty, do you think this Deagel forecast for a drop in population that is not explained is just taking your forecast for the conclusion of the Sixth Wave?

GB

ANSWER: I am not sure what they are referring to or how they arrived at that conclusion. Yes, I have said there remains the risk of a 50% decline in population as the Sixth Wave of the Economic Confidence Model concludes. This is historically standard. It is a combination of disease and global cooling – not warming. Germany has also had the coldest April in 104 years and France lost 80% of its wine crop during to cold. Naturally, these people are claiming the extreme cold is also because of CO2. But they just make up this stuff. There is never any accounting with respect to history.

No US city is the same latitude as Paris. If you look at a globe, you’ll see that Paris is at roughly the same latitude as the northern tip of Newfoundland, Canada. Paris isn’t all that far from the Arctic Circle. This means it’s very dark in Paris during the winter! Keep in mind that the Gulf Stream has kept Europe warming than what you see on the same latitude in Canada.

Our models on sunspot warn of a prolonged solar minimum which will not bottom until around 2050. As the climate cools, there will be a rise in disease due to malnutrition and crop failures. This is not CAUSED by Gates, it is a natural cycle. But Gates’ interference is likely to increase the climate crisis and lead to far more deaths than would otherwise take place. He is advocating shutting down fossil fuels which will be needed to save lives.

Keep in mind that our models have also correlated volcanoes to solar minimum. Therefore, volcanic activity increases with solar minimum and it has been the volcanic winters that create the worst crisis because they block the sun as Gates wants to do. There are scientists who are starting to actually correlate these trends. The death rate will be far higher in the less developed countries. But it will also be greater in Europe than in North America.

Moreover, we are looking at the collapse of governments on a wholesale level. This is the end of Republics as we have known them. These waves produce complete changes in political systems. Even the last 309.6-year wave led to the collapse of monarchies. This time it will be the Republics and hopefully, we will have a new generation of founding fathers who will turn to direct democracy.

Note:

1723 – Mini Ice Age fall of Monarchy

1413 – Black Plague 50% death rate & fall of Serfdom with the birth of Capitalism

1104 – Fall of Byzantium with Great Monetary Crisis of 1092

794 –  Rise of Charlemagne rebirth of empires and nation-states begins & Japan Capitol become Kyoto in 794

484 – The Huns invade Persia and kill the Sassanian king, Firuz, ending the Sassanid nobility. Rome falls in 476AD

Biden is The Only Person Wearing a Mask During Virtual Climate Change Summit


Posted originally on the conservative tree house April 23, 2021 | Sundance | 119 Comments

The current occupant of the United States White House, the optical head of the U.S. government, participated in a global summit to discuss climate change issues.

Apparently he fears being exposed to COVID-19 electronically, while the rest of the world leaders do not….  or something.

Canada, the Supreme Court hold that Carbon Tax is Constitutional


Armstrong Economics Blog/The Hunt for Taxes Re-Posted Mar 26, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

In Canada, the Supreme Court ruled Thursday that Ottawa has the power to impose a carbon price across the country as a “matter of national concern.” This is a major win for Trudeau and he can really make sure that the Canadian economy further declines to enable the Build Back Better agenda.

Let me make this VERY CLEAR. Even the US Supreme Court upheld Obamacare by holding it was a “TAX” When Obama deny that. Even the US Supreme Court would have struck down Obamacare as a social program, but as a TAX it held that government can impose ANY tax it so desires and at any rate. When it comes to taxes, the Supreme Courts of Europe, USA, Canada, or Bangladesh, will ALWAYS rule in favor of governmental power to TAX without constraint. They will ignore the history that 99% of all revolutions unfold because of taxes. Therefore, do not be surprised about tax rulings by the courts. This is also when Western society is doomed. We will not be able to sustain this sort of government beyond 2032. So just start planning now for the next real Great Reset which will be the overthrow of republics.

This is why in my solution, TAXATION must be abolished – PERIOD! If we simply printed the amount of money we needed to run government and it is capped at say 5%-10% of GDP, it would be far less destructive than taxation for the debt will never be repaid. At times, the accumulative interest expenditures have reached 70% of the debt showing that the real problem is borrowing in the first place. All of this COVID and Climate Change is a cover-up for the fact that the system of debt is coming to an end. They lowered rates artificially and are now trapped for they dare not allow rates to rise naturally to compensate for the constant rise in supply. Therefore, creating money to cover expenditure would be far better than the present system of taxation and borrowing endlessly.

Dependence of Earth’s Thermal Radiation on Five Most Abundant Greenhouse Gases


Excellent Physics Written by W. A. van Wijngaarden and W. Happer Published on June 8, 2020

The atmospheric temperatures and concentrations of Earth’s ve most important, greenhouse gases, H2O, CO2, O3, N2O and CH4 control the cloud-free, thermal radiative flux from the Earth to outer space. Over 1/3 million lines having strengths as low as 10􀀀27 cm of the HITRAN database were used to evaluate the dependence of the forcing on the gas concentrations. For a hypothetical, optically thin atmosphere, where there is negligible saturation of the absorption bands, or interference of one type of greenhouse gas with others, the per-molecule forcings are of order 10􀀀22 W for H2O, CO2, O3, N2O and CH4. For current atmospheric concentrations, the per-molecule forcings of the abundant greenhouse gases H2O and CO2 are suppressed by four orders of magnitude. The forcings of the less abundant greenhouse gases, O3, N2O and CH4, are also suppressed, but much less so. For current concentrations, the per-molecule forcings are two to three orders of magnitude greater for O3, N2O and CH4, than those of H2O or CO2. Doubling the current concentrations of CO2, N2O or CH4 increases the forcings by a few per cent. These forcing results are close to previously published values even though the calculations did not utilize either a CO2 or H2O continuum. The change in surface temperature due to CO2 doubling is estimated taking into account radiative-convective equilibrium of the atmosphere as well as water feedback for the cases of xed absolute and relative humidities as well as the eect of using a pseudoadiabatic lapse rate to model the troposphere temperature. Satellite spectral measurements at various latitudes are in excellent quantitative agreement with modelled intensities.

Lockdown Every 2 Years for Climate Change


Armstrong Economics Blog/Climate Re-Posted Mar 9, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

I have received over the past year some people complaining saying what does climate have to do with economics? I cannot always reveal my sources or I will not have them. There are people in the belly of the beast who do sound the alarm and are not happy with what is unfolding. For the past two years, I have been getting information that they were planning to get very aggressive with this climate change. They have REFUSED to allow anyone to testify in Paris who disputed their agenda. That was the start of this Cancel Culture.

The Guardian has put out the truth, perhaps ahead of schedule. There are those pushing for lockdowns every two years to meet the Paris requirement of ZERO CO2. Everyone’s future is to change and they never ONCE allowed anyone to ever vote on this agenda. Instead, we were told it’s a virus which is a cover for their real objectives. What these people will rain down upon the world is civil unrest and war. They will NOT succeed in this new reign of terror where they have absolute control of everyone’s life and future.

I have warned that this virus was planned, and I know for a FACT that investments were sold in advance and the World Economic Forum even went to cash in February 2020 based on reliable sources. I have warned that they are using this virus to shut down the world economy for climate change. All the REAL scientific research for decades has shown that social distancing and masks do not prevent diseases from spreading. Even the Washington Post reported that the studies of the Spanish Flu of 1918 showed that masks were “useless” and in the middle of the Hong Kong Flu of the late ’60s, with the same kill ratio of COVID 0.028%, they held Woodstock. They did not destroy the economy or lock people down. In Flordia, which did not go crazy and lock everyone down, the amount of COVID cases ranked 30th out of 50 states. New York destroyed its economy and Florida has one of the best performing economies in the nation.

Over three million students have dropped out because they cannot learn in virtual classes. The number of suicides among the youth has shot up because they see their futures destroyed. One of the entire purposes of going to a good university was to make contacts for life. Sure, others went for the parties. But now, all of that is lost including sports all because of virtual learning and they still want to charge the same amount of money.

Meanwhile, the Democrats have pushed through changes to voting that will ensure there will never be a fair election ever again. People can register same day with no background check and mail-in voting will be the new norm. They are outright on board with the World Economic Forum far beyond what people would dare even to speculate.

So for those who think I fell off the wagon and worried about fake climate change more than economics, you better wake up. This is a completely new reign of terror and they will not succeed. Gates may get his population reduction but it may be by instigating civil unrest and war.
