$50 Trillion For What? Kennedy Dumbfounds Biden Climate Peddler In Fiery Exchange Over ‘Carbon Neutrality’

Posted by M. C. on May 6, 2023

And there we have it. Americans are being asked to accept the force-feeding of an incredibly radical set of policies with a price tag that is unprecedented in global history to achieve a “carbon neutrality” goal, whose benefits are so nebulous, negligible and wholly reliant on the cooperative actions of other countries beyond U.S. control that they cannot be measured in any reliable way.

Instead, we are being told by senior political appointees forcing those policies into being that we should simply trust them because they think it is the right thing to do in their “heart of hearts.”

Biden Deputy Secretary of Energy David Turk highlighted the absurdity of the climate grift this week during a Senate Appropriations Subcommittee hearing, when Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) couldn’t get a straight answer out of him over the cost of going ‘carbon neutral.’

In a tense exchange, Kennedy repeatedly attempted to get Turk to give a straightforward answer to just how much American taxpayers will have to pay to achieve the Biden administration’s goal of reaching US carbon neutrality by 2050.

When Kennedy asked whether some of the “experts” Turk referred to earlier were correct in a $50 trillion estimate, Turk nodded his head, and said “It’s gonna cost trillions of dollars, there’s no doubt about it.”

“f we spend $50 trillion to become carbon neutral by 2050 in the United States of America, how much is that going to reduce world temperatures?” Kennedy replied. The conversation continued (transcription via the Daily Caller)

Turk: “So, every country around the world needs to get its act together. Our emissions are about 13% of global emissions right now…”

Kennedy: “Yeah, but if you could answer my question. If we spend $50 trillion to become carbon neutral in the U.S. by 2050, you’re the Deputy Secretary of Energy, give me your estimate of how much that is going to reduce world temperatures.”

Turk: “So, first of all, it’s a net cost. It’s what, um, benefits we’re having from getting our act together and reducing all of those costs and climate benefits…”

Will 2023 Be the Year “Climate” Becomes the New COVID?

Posted by M. C. on February 18, 2023

Limits on the amount of meat and dairy you’ll be allowed to consume.

No kidding! A full three new clothing items per person per year. What? You want a jacket for the cold? You selfish planet killer, you!

Create a set of “green” requirements you have to meet for your home to be “carbon neutral” or some hogwash. These requirements will be increasingly outrageous and mean many will be unable to afford the costs of retrofitting their home according to the climate nazis. As a result, these homes will become “stranded assets.”

Do we get another virus scare?

Perhaps, but fear not as I’ve the perfect strategy for you. If they lock you down and order you to wear masks, just carry on about your business but take a pile of Jehovah’s Witnesses booklets with you everywhere you go and when approached by some mask nazi, immediately launch into “have you been saved?”

If that doesn’t work, pretend they’re an old lost friend and while smiling broadly ostentatiously and loudly say, “Hey, so good to see you. How’ve you been?” Then proceed to give them a hug, a peck on the cheek, or — if you’re feeling particularly energetic about it all — a passionate smooch. It’ll have them running for cover and allow you to carry on your business because who wants to deal with a crazy person, right?

In all seriousness, I think we’re more likely for now to see the climate nazis go full retard. They’ll shelve Covid for now and bring on some other virus later which will likely do real damage to the now billions with weakened immune systems.

I think at this stage we all know that and can see it coming. The question is more HOW is it coming?

According to the central planners, here’s some of the things we can look forward to.

Limits on the amount of meat and dairy you’ll be allowed to consume.

Don’t worry, it gets better. Clothing yourself and your family.
