But as former NYU professor Michael Rectenwald has explained:
Everything evil under the sun is deemed causally connected to climate change, including war and genocide, terrorism, poverty, inequality, inclusion, the condition of women, and population growth.
“Climate change” functions as a catch-all phrase for sequestering the world’s problems under a single, global crisis rubric. As such, it is believed, a global governance system must be put in place to address it.
The economics of climate change catastrophism involve global centralized planning and interventionism on a scale hitherto unexampled.
The real crisis in America has nothing to do with climate, capitalism, cattle, coal, or combustion. The real crisis in America has everything to do with the monstrosity known as the federal government.
According to employment numbers released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of people employed by federal, state, and local governments in the United States has now surpassed 23 million.
For several years now, and especially since the beginning of the COVID-19 “pandemic” fiasco, we have been told that the world needs a “great reset.” World Economic Forum (WEF) executive chairman Klaus Schwab famously said in June of 2020: “The COVID- 19 crisis has shown us that our old systems are not fit any more for the 21st century. In short, we need a great reset.”
Federalism and libertarianism are the only great resets that America needs.

He challenged the world to “act jointly and swiftly to revamp all aspects of our societies and economies, from education to social contracts and working conditions.” He called for every county, “from the United States to China,” and every industry, “from oil and gas to tech,” to be transformed. The need of the world is a “‘Great Reset’ of capitalism.” This will require “stronger and more effective governments” to “implement long-overdue reforms that promote more equitable outcomes,” make “large-scale spending programs” to “advance shared goals, such as equality and sustainability,” and “harness the innovations of the Fourth Industrial Revolution to support the public good, especially by addressing health and social challenges.”
When you dig a little deeper, you find that the “great reset” of capitalism includes such nefarious things as reducing global population, medical tyranny, drastic and detrimental reductions in carbon emissions, the imposition of carbon taxes, and the gradual “transition away” from meat, fossil fuels, coal, and the internal combustion engine — all in the name of combating climate change and saving the planet from humans.
In the United States, there is talk of the need for “stakeholder capitalism,” “smart cities,” “build back better,” and a “green new deal.” On the eve of the recent UN Climate Conference (COP28), the White House referred to climate change as “the existential threat of our time.” But as former NYU professor Michael Rectenwald has explained:

The real crisis
The real crisis in America has nothing to do with climate, capitalism, cattle, coal, or combustion. The real crisis in America has everything to do with the monstrosity known as the federal government.
According to employment numbers released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of people employed by federal, state, and local governments in the United States has now surpassed 23 million. In 2023, government at all levels added an average of 56,000 jobs per month. Leading the way, of course, is the federal government, which contains hundreds of agencies, bureaus, corporations, commissions, administrations, authorities, offices, and boards organized under 15 departments. There is also the alphabet soup of independent agencies of the federal government (EPA, SEC, FTC, etc.) and the federal corporations (TVA, CPB, Amtrak, etc.). According to a report on the federal workforce by the Congressional Research Service, over 2.1 million federal civilian employees work for the federal government. And this doesn’t include the Postal Service (about 580,000 people) or the legislative and judicial branches (about 64,000 people). And then there are the 1.4 million active-duty uniformed military personnel spread out all over the world.
It wasn’t that long ago (1987) that the entire budget of the federal government was “only” a trillion dollars. It didn’t reach the $2 trillion mark until 2002. For fiscal year 2024 (Oct. 1, 2022, to Sept. 30, 2024), President Biden’s proposed federal budget is a whopping $6.9 trillion.
