I have spent over three years covering the covid pandemic and have reported on the data manipulation, the spread of disinformation, and the silencing of science-based criticisms related to the societal-scale policies that have been enacted.
In tandem, I have also covered the “climate crisis” narrative being driven by the combination of Big Government and Big Media. The promotion of climate emergency pseudoscience has been with the assistance of those in science and academia who derive funding and notoriety by helping support the eco-activist agenda.
It takes little imagination to connect how global-scale policy makers will use the similar fear-oriented tactics to enact liberty-crushing, fiscally-destructive, and dehumanizing policies that give bureaucrats and those connected to them more money and power.
However, rarely have I heard a political candidate so directly and boldly make the case as Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has. During a recently released campaign video, Kennedy stated, “climate change is being used to control us through fear.”
After listing his anecdotal ‘evidence’ for climate change, Kennedy delves into the gist of his concern.
The crisis is being used as a pretext for clamping down totalitarian controls, the same way the covid crisis was. And it’s the same people. It’s the intelligence agencies, it’s the World Economic Forum, it’s the “Billionaire Boys Clubb” [sic] at Davos, and its the same kind of cabal of people who will use every crisis to stratify society toward greater power for the greater power of the super rich, greater power of the military, and greater power for the intelligence apparatus….and less power for everybody else.A war on carbon is not going to solve the problem if we don’t have a habitat left at the end. My approach to energy is using free markets and note [sic] top-down control. We can recover what we had. But we just have to stay out of fear because that is the weapon of tyrants.
As a reminder, Kennedy once said that climate deniers “should be enjoying three hots and a cot at The Hague.”
One has to wonder if the experience with covid has caused Kennedy to rethink his approach to climate science.
I hope the presidential candidate is more open to hearing from scientists who have been challenging the climate cult for some time. For example, there is new analysis that shows federal agencies like EPA and NOAA have been removing data and information that does not conform to the their promotion of a man-made climate crisis.
Below is an important chart that somehow slipped by EPA’s “consensus” censorship squad. It is a map of all 1,066 weather stations across the United States. The change in the number of hot days for that station are ID’d as increasing (red), stayed the same (blank) or decreasing (blue).A total of 863 stations, or 81%, reported either a decrease or no change in the number of hot days! Any guesses on how long this map will remain up on their site?
While Kennedy may be concerned about an earlier spring, a historical review of temperature evidence shows that we are emerging from a cyclic temperature low after the “Little Ice Age”.
Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the recent attention on Kennedy is that the American media was quick to hide his recent climate views with a focus on “fart news”.
The New York Post’s Page Six gave a bizarre account of how Tuesday’s press dinner for the Democratic presidential candidate “descended into a foul bout of screaming and polemic farting.” A Post reporter who attended the event witnessed a “gaseous exchange” between two old men after Kennedy, who founded the conservationist group Waterkeeper Alliance, was asked a question about the environment.
I sincerely hope Kennedy’s views on climate realities continues to “evolve” as he continues to campaign.
