Only 5% of Members Met UN Climate Pledge Deadline

Climate zero co2

Only 10 of the 195 nations on board for the Paris Agreement have met the February 10, 2025, deadline to release their “nationally determined contributions” (NDCs). These NDCs are presented as detailed blueprints for how nations will continue cutting emissions to meet each five-year global stocktake (GST) goal. The problem is that 95% of nations have no plan in place.

The Paris Agreement began ten years and trillions of dollars ago, but no noticeable progress has been made. The United Nations admitted back in 2019 that the Paris Agreement or Accord was destined to fail. Even if every pledging nation met 100% of the UN mandates, they would still fall 2/3 short of meeting their targets. They admit that even if every country involved in those accords complied with their pledges between now and 2030, temperatures would still rise by 3 degrees Celsius by 2100. It is astonishing that nations continue to buy into this agreement that is destined to fail because the targets were created with no regard for naturally occurring weather cycles.

Yet, 195 nations agreed to continue tackling this losing battle. The GST is split into three phases: data collection, technical assessment, and consideration of outputs. Governments and climate scientists have compiled over 170,000 pages spanning over 252 hours of meetings and the final advice from the United Nations is always the same – nations are failing to meet their objectives.

Of the 10 nations who complied with the latest deadline, the US and UK were the only G7 nations to submit plans. The US submitted its plan before Donald Trump pulled out of the Paris Agreement. This is yet another example of how the US has been funding globalist initiatives.

Global Warming Cavemen Climate

Brazil, the United Arab Emirates, New Zealand, Switzerland, Uruguay, Andorra, Ecuador and Saint Lucia also met the deadline, but the UN has warned that the UAE, Brazil, and Switzerland have plans that are “not compatible” with meeting the 1.5C target by 2035. The UN said that the UK is potentially on the right track if it agrees to INCREASE SPENDING to help other nations meet their goals, a role formerly filled by the US.

“Without dedicated efforts to ramp up finance, you’re not going to achieve the triple [renewable] energy target, so that’s definitely something that needs to be reckoned with in the global stocktake outcome,” the Centre for Science and Environment told Carbon Brief.

Anyone can make a pledge and pander to the climate social justice warrior crowd. That does not mean they intend to follow through. The pressure is placed on the nations who can pay up and are expected to cover the costs for others. Numerous nations who have been touting their lofty climate goals like Australia and Canada plan to release their GST plans after elections as it a bargaining chip. The goal can never be achieved but that will not prevent the United Nations from squeezing every last cent out of member nations.

EPA Threw Away BILLIONS Ahead of Trump Presidency


Posted originally on Feb 13, 2025 by Martin Armstrong 

Project Veritas revealed that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) deliberately gave away BILLIONS in funds prior to Trump taking office. “Now it’s how to get the money out as fast as possible before they [Trump Administration] come in … it’s like we’re on the Titanic and we’re throwing gold bars off the edge.” – Brent Efron, EPA Advisor.

There is still outrage surrounding the elimination of the EPA. People do not realize just how much money this agency blew through on absolutely nothing. Biden admitted that the Inflation Reduction Act, the most expensive spending package in US history, was about CLIMATE CHANGE at its core and had nothing to do with inflation. Those at the EPA called the act “Biden’s climate law” and were eager to spend the proceeds. Efron told an undercover journalist that they were preparing to spend the money as quickly as possible right up until inauguration day.

The EPA was aware that Trump would likely eliminate their impractical agency. “We gave them [nonprofits] the money because… it was an insurance policy against Trump winning. Because they aren’t [a government agency], they’re safer from Republicans taking the money away,” he said. The EPA awarded nonprofits between $50 and $100 million EACH toward the end of Biden’s presidency.

The Biden Administration effectively permitted this agency to “throw gold bars” off the edge of the Titanic and needlessly spend public funds. All of these investigations lead to the same conclusion. The government provides nonprofits with a large sum and those agencies then funnel the money to smaller agencies, whether its related to climate change or funding terrorism. This is precisely why Trump attempted to freeze all federal funds upon taking office.

The Climate Change HOAX

COMMENT: Hi Martin,

In terms of trends determined by higher highs and lower lows, such as your analysis of the Democratic party in the US, stats like the crazy one below could probably tell a similar tale pertaining to the global warming fraud.

Just yesterday, a friend and I considered that winters in this part of Arkansas are colder than when I was a kid. While I don’t have the data to back it up, anecdotally, the winter trend is towards colder norms rather than warmer norms. Four years ago was a record low (in my lifetime) at 12 below.

Regards,

REPLY: We have a lot of weather data, and this entire claim of global warming and that humans are the cause of climate change is not only stupid, it is arrogant. There is no evidence of what these people claim. The English Court ruled against Al Gore and his movie that his climate film presented nine ‘errors’ and was thus inappropriate. The climate zealots want to ignore that ruling and pretend it never happened.

1970 2006 Time Climate Change

Here is the data from New York City with records back to 1869. There is a normal climate cycle, and nothing shows any dramatic change in trends. We are headed into colder weather, and let us hope that the rise in volcanic activity does not produce one or two VE7 eruptions. Our computer warns that we are also at rise of a rise in volcanic activity. That can block the sun and result in a volcanic winter, so you should have food stashed for crops will fail during a volcanic winter, and people will starve.

There is a cycle to everything, including climate!

Global Cooling – OMG

CCLUSA Y Array Climate Change

QUESTION: I know you have the data on temperatures and said we are heading into a cold period. I couldn’t find that chart. Could you please repost that, given this is extremely cold these days? I think I recall you saying something about 2025. Will this also lead to famine, as you had warned?

NYC Snow Fall Y 1 12 25

ANSWER: Yes, I provided the array with the link to that article that WAS PUBLISHED BACK IN 2022. Here is the view of snowfall since 1869, accumulative annually. Note that once more, this shows the BS about climate change and global warming. The record for snowfall in NYC was in 1996.

1970 2006 Time Climate Change
NYC Snow Fall Y array 1 12 25

Compare this to the array that was published back in 2022. They both show a trend into 2029 and that this would shift in 2025. We should be looking at colder periods, and this raises a serious risk of famine as the planet turns colder. That is, when crops fail, food prices rise, and famine increases. Everything that the LEFT has done with respect to the fake climate change has set us up for an environmental disaster. California has outlawed controlled fires, which Australia has done for a long time, so if a strip is burned out, then a raging fire has no fuel, and it stops. Whatever these people have done is precisely the opposite of what experience and history prove is true.

Corn M 1 12 25

Take corn, for example. The markets have always predicted the future correctly. The August low set the stage for the rally. Pay attention to the cycles and the reversals in agriculture markets. They are projecting that we have some hard times coming into 2029.

Biden Bans Natural Gas Water Heaters


Posted originally on Jan 9, 2025 by Martin Armstrong 

Evil of CO2

Joe Biden is passing additional climate change “protections” before leaving office. Before placing a ban on offshore drilling, Biden and/or his handlers turned his attention to American households. His latest policy will prohibit Americans from purchasing natural gas water heaters.

The ban will officially begin in 2029 and natural gas-fired water heaters will no longer be available to the public. Per usual, the ban is intended to prevent carbon dioxide emissions from ending the world. Some estimate that the tanks alone will cost consumers $450 more on the initial purchase, yet you can look at the prices on any home improvement store’s website to see that the cost is far more. The true cost of operating these tanks exceeds than what the government is estimating.

There was an existing electric water tank in my home when I first purchased it. The tank was constantly heating water even when not in use. I switched out my tank for natural gas and my electric bill fell by 1/3. My current tank only heats the water when needed and should be considered more energy efficient based on my bill.

Logic has no place in the climate change agenda. Around 40% of existing water heaters on the market will be banned under this new guideline. There will be no point in manufacturing natural gas heaters as they will be irrelevant. The Department of Energy claim that tankless water heaters must rely on 13% less energy than the newest, most efficient fossil fuel model.

“Forcing low-income and senior customers to pay far more upfront is particularly concerning. DOE’s decision to go ahead with a flawed final rule is deeply disappointing,” Matthew Agen, the American Gas Association’s chief counsel for energy, told the outlet. In addition to reducing options and raising costs for consumers, the ruling is punishing an industry. Currently, Rinnai America is the only major American manufacturer of tankless water heaters.

Yet, Rinnai America is against the ban, too. “Our point has always been—I think that the incoming administration will understand this—why would you eliminate a higher efficiency product category? It makes no sense. It makes no sense at all,” Frank Windsor, the president of water heater manufacturer Rinnai America, told the Free Beacon in an interview. “If you really want to impact the water heating ruling, you really need to deal with the tank models.”

Still, the climate change zealots are cheering the claim that the ban will reduce 32 million metric tons of emissions. The Department of Energy has claimed that Americans can enjoy saving $112 over a 20 year span.

“One of the things we see is an antipathy towards natural gas versions of appliances because natural gas is a fossil fuel and they want to electrify everything. When you see bad regulations from the Biden administration, usually it has something to do with climate change,” Ben Lieberman, a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute.

The American Gas Association believes the “irresponsible” prohibition is illegal. “The final rule is a violation of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA), which prohibits DOE from promulgating a standard that renders a product with a distinct performance characteristic unavailable. To make matters worse, DOE’s own analysis claims that the average life-cycle cost savings would amount to barely $112 over the entire 20-year average product life. DOE’s final rule is unjustifiable on legal and practical grounds.” AGA is suing the DOE over a similar issue.

Build Back Better leaders, who are not leaders but puppets of the globalist NWO, have not hesitated to abandon their people and country in the name of climate change. It is of no surprise that Biden is pushing through these unpopular proposals at the eleventh hour. Donald Trump will likely spend the beginning of his term fighting to undo all the damage the Biden-Harris regime has done in the name of climate change.

Germany Lets Economy Plunge to Meet Climate Change Goals


Posted originally on Jan 8, 2025 by Martin Armstrong 

Germany Map 3D

Germany is on track to meet its climate change initiatives at the expense of its economy. To look at the overall health of the European Union, we may look directly at Germany – the leading European economy.  A climate think tank Agora noted that Germany lowered its emissions by 3% in 2024 on an annual basis due to its declining economy.

Germany shed 656 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions last year, a 48% reduction since 1990. The nation is seeking to reduce emissions by 65% in time for Agenda 2030 compared to 1990 levels. Agora director Simon Mueller admitted that Duetchland’s economic downturn is responsible for the lowered emissions, yet that is STILL not sufficient to meet the cap stipulated under the Climate Protection Act. “If Germany does not take action in these sectors, there is a risk of fines being imposed by Brussels,” Mueller said.

Fined by Brussels. There you have it, folks. The globalists running the EU are comfortable decimating the economy of Europe to achieve their true objectives. Wind and solar energy production in Germany accounted for 55% of consumption in 2024. Brussels and Agora seem to believe this shows that the climate policy is working at intended.

RobertHabeck

Economy Minister Robert Habeck, a Davos man, has championed these climate change objectives as well. He admitted in an interview with Spiegel that “since 2018 there has been no real growth in Germany. ” Habeck’s official title is Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection. One must question why economics and climate protection are paired in such a forced manner when one counteracts the other.

“Nationalism is on the rise and this is a dangerous trend,” said Habeck in March of last year, adding that the energy transition will only succeed “if we stick together.” We do not need to read between the lines to see what the establishment wants out of the EU. Habeck clearly stated that combating climate change “means a free world order.”

“Economic growth won’t be possible if we don’t act,” Habeck said, insisting that Germany’s climate virtues will attract business. He blamed economic woes on reliance on “cheap Russian gas and the Chinese market,” clearly stating globalization is the ideal for economic growth. He does not want “economic independence” for Germany, instead opting to support Brussels. “The old world is gone, a new world is rising,” Habeck declared. “This is a new world where the economic question alone can’t be the political leading question.”

A new world order where economic independence no longer exists. These people fail to understand what once made Germany a great economic superpower. As I have also warned many times, Germany has clung to the old mercantile economic model, keeping taxes high to prevent inflation and manufacturing products to sell to everyone else to bring home the profits. Now, the establishment is ruining the auto industry, which contributed to 17% of GDP in 2023, all in the name of climate change. They permitted energy costs to soar 300% by demonizing Russian energy. This lethal combination means that Germany’s entire economic model is under assault from every direction.

With cheap Russian gas no longer viable and exports to China declining, the war policies of the EU coupled with the economic crisis created by climate change and the cost of funding unproductive migrants, the prospects for the economy of Europe are pointing toward somewhat hard times into 2026. This will most likely contribute to tensions and pointing fingers at Russia to justify war being pushed by NATO.

Horrific Pacific Palisades Wildfire Destroys Hundreds of Homes, Fire Jumps PCH Toward Malibu – State of Emergency Declared


Posted originally on the CTH on January 8, 2025 | Sundance

A massive California wildfire is consuming some of the most valuable property around Los Angeles.  The Pacific Palisades fire is expanding rapidly due to high winds and dry conditions.  Making matters worse, firefighters are having a problem with water shortages to fight the fire due to California environmental standards.

An ariel shot shows the extent of the fire last night, and the situation is rapidly worsening.  Firefighters are now focused on rescue efforts.

CALIFORNIA – A state of emergency has been declared in Los Angeles after a huge wildfire swept through hillsides dotted with celebrity homes.

The fire forced the evacuation of 30,000 people, some of whom abandoned their cars and fled on foot to safety.

Nearly 3,000 acres of the Pacific Palisades area between the coastal towns of Santa Monica and Malibu had burned by the Palisades Fire, officials said.  Fire officials said that several people were injured, some with burns to faces and hands.

A second blaze dubbed the Eaton Fire broke out some 30 miles inland near Pasadena and doubled in size to 400 acres in a few hours, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said.

California Governor Gavin Newsom, who was in Southern California to attend the naming of a national monument by US President Joe Biden, made a detour to the area to see “first hand the impact of these swirling winds and the embers”.

[…] Witnesses reported a number of homes on fire with flames nearly scorching their cars when people fled the hills of Topanga Canyon, as the fire spread from there down to the Pacific Ocean.

Firefighters in aircraft scooped water from the sea to drop it on the nearby flames. Flames engulfed homes and bulldozers cleared abandoned vehicles from roads so emergency vehicles could pass.

The fire burned some trees on the grounds of the Getty Villa, a museum loaded with priceless works of art, but the collection remained safe, the museum said.

Before the fire started, the National Weather Service had issued its highest alert for extreme fire conditions for much of Los Angeles County from Tuesday through Thursday, predicting wind gusts of 50 to 80 mph.

[…] Actor Steve Guttenberg told a local television station that friends of his were impeded from evacuating because others had abandoned their cars in the road.

“It’s really important for everybody to band together and don’t worry about your personal property. Just get out,” Guttenberg said. “Get your loved ones and get out. (read more)

The Second US State to Tax Fossil Fuel Companies


Posted originally on Dec 31, 2024 by Martin Armstrong 

Oil Tanker

New York state has enacted a bill to extort fossil fuel companies in the name of climate change. Governor Kathy Hochul believes the bill will generate $75 billion in funds for the state over the next 25 years, which she claims will be used to fight climate change.

Why would any energy company want to operate out of New York? The fines for merely existing are unclear, but the New York Department of Environmental Conservation will begin determining the extent of each company’s greenhouse gas emissions. Worse, they will begin fining companies for the amount they began releasing 24 years ago in 2000. ANY company that the department deems “responsible” for greenhouse gas emissions is subject to a fine.

Vermont was the first state to enact such a law under the Climate Superfund Act. Oil and energy companies are mandated to pay into a climate change fund if they have released over 1 billion metric tons of greenhouse gases from 1995 – nearly 30 years ago – until now.

“This bill represents a major step forward in ensuring that responsible parties, like Big Oil – companies like ExxonMobil and Shell that have known for decades that their products are disrupting the climate – be required to also pay a fair share of the cleanup costs,” the Vermont Natural Resources Council said after blaming the industry for the catastrophic flooding that occurred earlier in the year.

American Petroleum Institute declared that this tax unjustifiably violated due process of rights. Society at large is dependent on fossil fuels, but these taxes aim to extort profitable companies that have been providing a service to the public. Both Vermont and New York have also failed to explain how they will calculate emissions or the true costs involved.

Imagine if the government told you that you needed to pay additional taxes spanning back decades. This is absolute insanity and yet another brain-dead policy aimed at punishing fossil fuels. Stepping on the neck of a crucial sector is not how to generate state revenue. Anyone cheering that these laws punish Big Oil fails to understand that these fees will simply be passed down to the consumer as residents of New York and Vermont should expect to pay more in energy costs in the near term.
