Now That Blackrock-Biden White House Have Forced EV Mandates, China Moves Massive Investment into Mexico to Make EV’s for U.S Market


Posted originally on the CTH on December 18, 2023 | Sundance 

The headline is the non-pretending reality.  Now that Joe Biden has designated EPA mandates for U.S. automobiles that include having at least 50% of all new vehicle sales be electric by 2030 {LINK}, three major Chinese EV manufacturers are reportedly building manufacturing facilities in Mexico.

Blackrock investments steer WH policy {Go Deep}. Blackrock investments are heavy in China and EV production.  Blackrock returns on their investments would be substantial with Chinese EV production in Mexico.  Quite a coincidence.

BUSINESS INSIDER – Three major Chinese EV companies are planning to build new factories in Mexico, sparking concern among US officials, according to a new report.

MG, BYD, and Chery are all looking at sites to build new factories in the country, according to unnamed sources cited by The Financial Times, and this investment is causing angst in Washington as it seeks to keep China out of the US electric car market.

US officials have reportedly raised concerns with their Mexican counterparts over Chinese investment, with the new sites potentially including a new $1.5 billion to $2 billion MG electric car factory and a factory investment worth hundreds of millions of dollars from Warren Buffett-backed Tesla rival BYD.

China’s electric vehicle market is booming, and local manufacturers are increasingly looking to expand overseas amid cutthroat competition for customers back home.

China also dominates the global electric vehicle battery supply chain, allowing it to produce far cheaper EVs than many of its US rivals.

The US has attempted to protect the US market by unveiling new rules earlier this month to make it more difficult for EVs made with Chinese parts to qualify for tax breaks.

But the possible expansion of Chinese automakers into Mexico, which recently replaced China as the US’ biggest trading partner, will fuel fears that it could serve as a backdoor. (read more)

Blackrock invests in China and EV’s.  Biden policy supports China and EV’s.

Blackrock invests in Ukraine.  Biden policy supports Ukraine reconstruction.

Biden puts Blackrock Investment Institute Chairman Tom Donilon in charge of U.S-China policy.

It’s almost as if….

Canada Limiting Oil and Gas Industry Emission

Crude Oil Production

Canada has announced a plan to use a cap-and-trade system to impose greenhouse gas emission limits on its oil and gas industry. Under the “draft framework,” Canada will issue emissions allowances to oil and gas producers, which will be capped at levels between 35% and 38% below 2019 levels, beginning in 2030. The government will then continue to lower allowances in stages until the industry reaches net zero by 2050.

Ottawa plans to finish drafting regulations by next year, with a final plan in place by 2026. Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault called the plan “ambitious” but “practical.” “It considers the global demand for oil and gas, and the importance of the sector in Canada’s economy, and sets a limit that is strict, but achievable,” Guilbeault said. This is all part of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s plan for Canada to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, which he announced during his election in 2021.

Critics state that the timeframe is simply not achievable for the world’s fourth-largest oil producer and fifth-largest natural gas producer. Federal Energy Minister Jonathan Wilkinson admitted that the government is uncertain how they will implement these measures without shutting down production entirely. A failed execution “would essentially make us poorer in Canada and make our American friends or folks in Saudi Arabia or elsewhere richer,” he stated.

Globalists everywhere are making lofty pledges on the heels of the COP28 summit. The only rush comes when attempting to meet these arbitrary targets. The only reason governments are targeting 2030 and 2050 is because they were directed to do so by Klaus Schwab and the globalists at the World Economic Forum. It will be interesting to see the final plans for this idea that sacrifices Canada’s economic health for the climate change psyops.

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?

Kerry – WEF – First Movers Coalition


Posted originally on Dec 5, 2023 By Martin Armstrong 

Schwab Kerry scaled

John Kerry declared that America would adhere to the Power Past Coal Alliance and partner with 56 other nations in eliminating coal power. Kerry committed $3 billion to the cause which should come as no surprise since Kerry collaborated with the World Economic Forum to launch the First Movers Coalition (FMC) back at the COP26.

The WEF describes the coalition as the “world’s largest private sector demand signal for emerging climate technologies.” With over 95 members, the FMC believes it can reduce the demand for energy and carbon emissions. Even the WEF admits the infrastructure for its plan is not currently available. “It is estimated that 50% of the reductions needed for net-zero emissions by 2050 must come from technologies not yet available at scale – technologies like hydrogen to produce low-emission steel, sustainable aviation fuel, or carbon capture and storage technologies that capture residual emissions.”

Kerry has said the Paris Climate Agreement is “not enough.” “The notion of a reset is more important than ever before” according to Kerry. He added: “I personally believe … we’re at the dawn of an extremely exciting time.” The climate tzar flies around in his private jet telling coal miners to make solar panels, and you should live in his 15-minute cities and walk everywhere. He believes the US has “populism” not democracy ever since Trump won the White House.

Kerry is a Davos man. They are signing agreements on our behalf that we never had an opportunity to vote on. The emergency rush to move to neutral by 2050 is blindly accepted by most governments who are going to implement some intensive changes to adhere to these pledges.

The Central European Snowfall is on Par with the 1970s/1980s

Munish 2023

Nobody wants to really talk about climate cycles. I can personally confirm that the snowfall in Munich appears to be worse than in the 1970s when I was there. In fact, I was snowed in the Frankfurt airport TWICE when the snow was so heavy, you could not even get a cab into town. I slept on the floor in the airport TWICE using my luggage for a pillow. Among the flights canceled were those due to arrive in Dubai, where the COP28 climate change summit is being held. Oh – the irony of this climate change agenda. If they actually shut down all fossil fuels, the death toll will rise substantially for electricity often goes how as now takes down trees that fall on power lines.

The Polluter Elites


Posted originally on Nov 24, 2023 By Martin Armstrong 

Davos Jets

The very people flying to Davos annually on their private jets are responsible for the majority of environmental pollution. The globalists are the “polluter elites” who want to implement prohibitions on consumption for the masses. The Guardian recently reported that the top 1% produce more carbon emissions than the poorest 66%. The climate change agenda is purely a control tactic, control over our tax spending, energy and food consumption, and freedom of movement. The very people preaching that we must abandon our way of life to save the world KNOW that it is a sham.

The Guardian partnered with Oxfam, the Stockholm Environment Institute, for “The Great Carbon Divide” study. As of 2019, the top 1% were responsible for 5.9bn tonnes of CO2 emmissions or 16% of all emissions. “The report found it would take about 1,500 years for someone in the bottom 99% to produce as much carbon as the richest billionaires do in a year,” the article notes. “This elite also wield enormous political power by owning media organisations and social networks, hiring advertising and PR agencies and lobbyists, and mixing socially with senior politicians, who are often members of the richest 1%,” the report stated. Furthermore, 25% of Congress owns stocks in fossil fuels worth between $33 million and $93 million.

EU Private Jets

So the very people who want to ban gas stoves, kill off livestock, end private car ownership, and force the public to consume insects are the same people responsible for these so-called deadly carbon emissions.

Take Jeff Bezos. He owns the Washington Post and can adjust the public narrative as billions yield untold power. He had a bridge deconstructed so that his mega yacht could push through, and he owns numerous jets, yachts, you name it. Yet he also pledges millions each year to support the climate change agenda geared toward punishing the average person for weather patterns. His paper publishes articles warning of the coming end of the world due to the Great Unwashed simply existing. Worse still, the corporations these polluter elites own are responsible for more CO2 emissions than any amount the average person could expend in their lifetimes.

Rules for thee, but not for me. Hence it is absolutely ridiculous that there is current legislation in place aimed at limiting our energy and food consumption that was written by the very people responsible for their proclaimed crisis.

Dr Roy Spencer: New Global Dataset: Global Grids of UHI Effect On Air Temp, 1800-2023

By P Gosselin on 4. November 2023

See full report at Dr. Roy Spencer

As a follow-on to our paper submitted on a new method for calculating the multi-station average urban heat island (UHI) effect on air temperature, I’ve extended that initial U.S.-based study of summertime UHI effects to global land areas in all seasons and produced a global gridded dataset, currently covering the period 1800 to 2023 (every 10 years from 1800 to 1950, then yearly after 1950).

It is based upon over 13 million station-pair measurements of inter-station differences in GHCN station temperatures and population density over the period 1880-2023. 

Since UHI effects on air temperature are mostly at night, the results I get using Tavg will overestimate the UHI effect on daily high temperatures and underestimate the effect on daily low temperatures.

As an example of what one can do with the data, here is a global plot of the difference in July UHI warming between 1800 and 2023, where I have averaged the 1/12 deg spatial resolution data to 1/2 deg resolution for ease of plotting in Excel (I do not have a GIS system):

If I take the 100 locations with the largest amount of UHI warming between 1800 and 2023 and average their UHI temperatures together, I get the following:

Note that by 1800 there was 0.15 deg. C of average warming across these 100 cities since some of them are very old and already had large population densities by 1800. Also, these 100 “locations” are after averaging 1/12 deg. to 1/2 degree resolution, so each location is an average of 36 original resolution gridpoints. My point is that these are *large* heavily-urbanized locations, and the temperature signals would be stronger if I had used the 100 greatest UHI locations at original resolution.

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

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.
