Is it destroying the planet?

Of course not!

You & I know that innovative, free enterprise capitalism has lifted billions out of drudgery and poverty and brought unprecedented prosperity to billions of people.

But the hard left that controls much of our government, academia, the media, and international bodies like the UN, hates capitalism.

Worse, they believe that they are an enlightened elite that has the answers to all of society’s problems. Biden’s “Climate Czar” John Kerry said as much at the World Economic Forum in Davos last month: “And when you stop and think about ti, its pretty extraordinary that we, a select group of human beings…are able to sit in a room and come together and actually talk about saving the planet…

-They literally want us to eat bugs instead of meat
-They want to take away our gas stoves, water heaters and furnaces.
-They want us to ride bicycles and ditch our cars. They want us locked inside homes, refraining from air travel to lower our carbon footprints.
-They want to seize countless acres of our scenic open spaces for solar and wind farms that produce unreliable electricity.
-And they are willing to have their followers vandalize priceless works of art to pressure governments.

They refuse to face the fact that coal, oil & natural gas have not only lifted billions out of poverty, but also blessed humanity with pharmaceuticals, plastics, cell phones, sanitation, and countless other benefits that would’t have otherwise existed.

They ignore the fact that, thanks to moern fertilizers countries from Brazil to Zimbabwe are enjoying record harvests of grains and other crops.

The deranged mob constantly telling us to “trust the science’. While they hypocritically ignore what science is really saying about climate. Which is that humanity’s carbon emmissions are only a small contributor compared to the powerful natural forces that have always propelled climate and weather.

Despite teh hype, there is no statistically signifcant uptick in wildfires, hurricane, tornados, droughts or flooding.

This is not hard to figure out, becasue at times the teh leader sof the climat ealarm movement admit thte turth. For example:
– Former UN Climate Executive Secretary Christiana Figueres said “we are setting ourselves” the task “to intentionally transform the economic development model” that has reigned for the last 150 years.
– Her UN collegague Ottmar Edenhofer was equally blunt:
International climate policy has almost nothign to do with environmenta police anymore”. It is the means by which “we redistribute thew worlds wealth”.
– Outside one recent UN climate conference in Scotland, more than 100,000 protestors marched to demand a socialist revolution. A sign read: Or climate crisis = Their profits. Stike back agianst Capitalism”.
– and then there is Rep Alexadria Ocasio Cortez’s former chief of staff who revealed his boss Green New Deal “wasn’t originally a climate thing at all. We really think of it as how do you change the entire economy thing”.
– At COP27 in Egypt, John Kerry pledged teh US tosend $1 billion or more to poor countries everey year, to compensate them for “losses and damages” from “unprecedented manmade climate disasters….”
– the utpian fantasy they call the Great Reset, is the fever dream of today’s climate alarm movement. In their own advertisiments pushing the great reset, the WEF has said “you will own nothing, and you will be happy”.
