NY Post editorial - "UN climate warnings were wrong, can we get a refund?"

The United Nations International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) quietly beat a retreat and withdrew their predictions of drastic temperature increases from CO2 and other greenhouse gases. Meanwhile progressive governments, including the European Union and the Biden regime in the US extracted huge sums of money from taxpayers and electric ratepayers to cure a "problem" that is now admitted not to exist.

The New York Post has an excellent editorial entitled "Can we all get a refund? UN climate experts admit climate change won't destroy Earth tomorrow".

And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:

And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?

And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.

But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.

Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.

He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.

Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.

And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.

O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.

But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:

For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.

The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

CT: If the Left is swearing: "Leftist;" "Racist;" "Liar;" "Anti-environmentalist;" "Soulless;" "Hatemonger,' etc, it is purely because the Left prefers to inadvertently, it their constant hamfisted manner, remind you exactly who they are at their core.

It is the great irony that surrounds the Non Patriot Left.

While the far left likes to throw around the term "fascist", none of them seem to understand that fascism had a rigid economic doctrine, and today's left very often follows fascist rather than socialist economic doctrine. The climate alarmist movement is one particular example of that, and I have seen some aptly call it "eco-fascism".

Government putting its thumb on the scales is the opposite of capitalism. Government Diktat is the only thing that makes the Climate Industrial Complex function. It could not stand on its own two feet to compete under a free enterprise system.

You might want to learn more about what fascism really is before thinking that it just means having a dictator in charge. If you do, you will learn that the modern left's policies here in America are much closer to classical fascist economic doctrine than to classic socialist economic doctrine.

Will, neither you nor I are far left, but it is the far left that likes to throw around the term "fascist" without understanding what it actually means.

Nice Bro! 100%! No doubt everything is fascist, Amen, that is well established on this site.

How about this though:
Daniel 11

“And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.”

Well, NO, Will. The Green New Deal just reeks of fascist economics, NOT capitalism. It is all about government Diktat. Wind, solar, and other "green energy" would not exist without government subsidies, "portfolio standard" requirements of percentage of "green energy", and such. They are essential for expensive intermittent, unreliable "green energy".

The reason it is called "green energy" is all the green taxpayer and ratepayer money flowing into the pockets of the Climate Industrial Complex.

One has to understand the difference between socialist economics and fascist economics. In socialism, government controls the means of production. In fascist economics, the means of production technically stay in private hands but totally under government control.

It’s called Capitalism. If a land owner wants to log their land then they can log it. Unless you are suggesting putting some type of regulation on what people can do with their land, the wood pellet mills take hardwood chips and pulpwood not pine. Which is a blessing because you can hardly get rid of it otherwise.

Without these mills, all this junk wood would just be left out on the ground to dry out, where it will become a fuel source for a potential forest fire.

For all concerned, Trees do grow back. If the landowner replants they grow back faster

Befuddled, you are correct that most of those "wood waste" so-called "renewable energy" plabnts actually burn whole trees. That leads to deforestation, and actually produces more CO2 than burning coal.

It is not just such plants located here. North Carolina trees are being cut down, ground up, and made into wood pelets which are shipped out through Morehead City, to be used in "wood waste" electric plants in Europe.
