President Donald Trump spoke at the United Nations last week in an address that the world needed to hear. It was of course picked apart, particularly his claims about global warming. He twisted facts and made “false claims,” say the gatekeepers of the Great Climate Narrative. Is this so?
Let’s look:
Trump called the global warming scare a “hoax.” Not a word we would use, but he’s closer to the truth than the climatistas. It’s obvious to those with open minds that the global warming tale is the product of academic fraud, gross exaggerations, and an effort to lie to the public to move opinion and force politics into what should be a scientific debate.
Trump said renewable energy sources “don’t work,” are “too expensive” and a “joke.” They work, but not as advertised. Renewables are unreliable and they are far too costly (without taxpayer-funded subsidies they’re dead). “Joke” is another word we wouldn’t use, because the damage done by the blind drive to net zero emissions is not funny.
“All of these predictions made by the United Nations and many others, often for bad reasons, were wrong,” Trump said. “They were made by stupid people.” They are not stupid. But they are conniving, deceitful, shameless, wrong and vicious. They are also dangerous (see the point above).
Trump called the global warming account “the greatest con job perpetrated by the world.” The predictions of doom have not materialized. The models they are based on are overheated. The real motive for clamping down on fossil fuel use is not to save the sky but to break capitalism, phase out human existence, force a false religion on others and take control of the economy. Sure, it’s a con, and it’s worked fairly well. As Elon Musk recently said, “legacy media propaganda is very effective at making people believe things that aren’t true.”
Wind turbines, the president said, are “so pathetic.” Still not a word we would use but we are in agreement with the greater point. The world is shunning wind and solar power. More than 1,000 proposed projects have been blocked globally. In addition to the inferior nature of renewables, land-use conflicts are constraining their growth as are investors, who don’t want to squander their capital on investments that won’t earn them a profit.
“Now,” said Trump, the zealots “just call it climate change, because that way, they can’t miss. It’s climate change, because if it goes higher or lower, whatever the hell happens, there’s climate change.” He’s correct. The green jihad was rebranded because the warming argument wasn’t working – the climate was not cooperating with fantastic tales about an overheating planet.
The media “fact-checkers” counter with nonsense such as: “There is overwhelming scientific evidence and consensus from thousands of scientists worldwide that climate change is occurring, is human-caused and poses significant risks to human health, the environment, and the global economy.” Not true. One, science does not work by consensus. Two, the argument that the evidence is overwhelming is based on disinformation. It then follows that the rest of the “fact check” is bunk.
At times we thought we’d never see it, but the global warming militants are in retreat, and it never would have happened had Trump not been elected last year. This is what we voted for, though we didn’t fully expect it to happen. We appreciate it, Mr. President.

June 21, 1788, the date the Constitution was ratified, could also be seen as the birth of our nation but why be argumentative? July 4th is the date we’ve recognized.
“Climate change” has always been about controlling the population, it’s never been about saving the planet.
If someone argues that a change in the climate cannot be allowed, that person should first have to prove that the climate is perfect now. That is impossible.
What the editorial writers are missing is that climate change is real (the earth is in an interglacial warming period). The question is whether man is “causing” or “accelerating” the change. If you doubt me look out your window and tell me how many glaciers you see, then as a thought experiment answer that same question assuming your window shows 20,000 years ago.
Here’s reality: There is no such thing as “renewable” energy.
The term is a totally false construct from the Cult of the Church of Anthropocentric Global Warming in their insane quest to acquire power.
Solar panels and windmills (just to name two) are no more “renewable” sources of energy than the internal combustion engine in my vehicle. The sunlight that powers solar panels, once it’s passed the panel, it’s gone baby gone. Once that wind passes by the windmill, it’s gone baby gone.
Just exactly like the gasoline in my vehicle, once it’s used, it’s gone baby gone. And, if any of those don’t get more, guess what happens then.
even if the warming globullies are right, there’s nothing we can do about it.
