Will “Green New Deal” Failures Elect Trump?

By Robert Bradley Jr. -- June 19, 2024

“A Clean Energy Transition should be occurring but not with the RECKLESS STUPIDITY enhancing the possibility of Trump Again!” (Robert Bibbo, below)

Robert Bibbo, self-described environmental energy analyst and observer, lamented a while back on the growing popularity of Trump relative to President Biden. He stated:

This New York Times Poll Shows Trump Leading in 5 Battleground States. A Point In Time Not Election Day Certainty. Nevertheless! Never Ever Trumpers Should be Concerned.

Bibbo then brought in some historical analysis:

In 2016 The Democratic Brain Trust saddled Hilary with a Clean Power Plant 1 War on Coal. Krugman opines 2x (NYTs) that CPP 1 delivered PA, MI & WI (46 EC votes) to elect Trump45. In 2020 those 46 votes elected Biden. Heading into 2024 the Brain Trust has saddled Biden with a Clean Power Plan 2 War on Fossil Fuels.

Renewables vs. Environment: Hans Wolkers humbles Climate Reality Project, Kahli Burke

“And this is just the beginning. Large-scale deployment of ‘renewables’ will result in an ecological disaster.” (Hans Wolkers, PhD., below)

Climate alarmists are having a hard time on the business social media giant LinkedIn. Previous posts have documented the one-sided alarmism of Skeptical Science; a case of climate thuggery; an ad hominem backfire; time-series data evasion; ExxonMobil “whistleblowing“; and Greenpeace and Enron.

It is time to add to this list. The Climate Reality Project posted this message and picture on LinkedIn:

We have a responsibility to lead the way in advocating for hashtag#cleanenergy and climate action. Together, we will create a brighter future for ourselves and generations to come. hashtag#LeadOnClimate hashtag#saveourplanet

I responded: “That child must wonder about industrializing the green space. Pretty gross….”…

EDF Loves Political Capitalism (an exchange)

By Robert Bradley Jr. -- June 17, 2024

“EDF is all-in with the political capitalism bribe game, the we-all-can-make-money-so-join-in. But some of us actually respect consumers, taxpayers, and freedom. And intellectual argumentation.”

On LinkedIn, the IPCC posted:

Did climate change cause that recent extreme event in my country? While it is difficult to identify the exact causes of a particular extreme event, the relatively new science of event attribution can quantify the role of climate change in altering the probability & magnitude of some types of weather & climate extremes.

There is strong evidence that characteristics of many individual extreme events have already changed because of human-driven changes to the climate system.

I responded to the alarm/renewables push:

Oh: wind and solar in Texas: “Yesterday, ERCOT issued a notice of ‘possible future Emergency Condition of reserve capacity deficiency’ for Friday & Saturday nights.”
