The Climate Industry’s Misdirection Campaign

 In the summer of 2023, the U.S. Senate Committee on The Budget held a hearing on "Dollars and Degrees" to explore whether funding for research and media from the fossil fuel industry and conservative groups sow doubt about climate change and dampen perceptions of climate change risk.

The work likened the efforts by the fossil fuel industry to reduce public concern about climate change to those practices by the tobacco industry to reduce concern about cancer risk.

Participant had previously produced An Inconvenient Truth, featuring former Vice President Al Gore, which fostered heightened views of climate change risk favorable to the climate industry.

Heightened alarmism about climate change risk is useful for the climate change industry: it helps develop investment opportunities, promotes climate litigation, and shapes the court of public opinion.

Perceptions of climate risk drove remarkable growth in the catastrophe bond market; encouraged venture capital investment into so-called climate tech; supported development of trading schemes in carbon credits, derivatives, and offsets; and created demand for expansion of the climate intelligence consultancies to support analytical interests of various types of financial activities.

Artful maneuvering like Whitehouse's and Oreskes' keeps viewers' attention focused on the fossil fuel industry so that they would not see the bigger truth: Industry's influence on public understanding of climate change is not in production of reduced views of risk; it is in the production of inflated views of climate change risk.

This has itself become a grotesque racket where climate change is introduced to children by "Science Moms" that have distilled their message into cartoon nuclear bombs; the climate alarm narrative leaves children sad and anxious; lawyers and advocates use that faltering well-being to advance a political agenda; and leading psychological organizations encourage parents to engage their climate anxious children in litigation.

Fauci Files Reveal Pfizer Helped Biden Rig 2020 Election

 Pfizer secretly colluded with Joe Biden's team to help him rig the 2020 election against Trump, according to new Fauci documents. In his new book, "On Call," Fauci admits that Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, called him the night after Biden was declared the winner of the election, to inform him of Pfizer's "Game-changing results" from the rigged mRNA trial. "On November 7, after the absentee ballots were counted, Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election. It was the very next night that Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called me away from my neighbors' fire pit to inform me about the game-changing results from the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial. I finally thought we had truly turned a corner in defeating this terrible disease." Today reports: In another interesting tidbit, Fauci discusses Trump's FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn declaring that he would not go along with the Trump Administration's plan to roll out the vac...

The Biden-Harris White House Has An Iranian Spy Leaking U.S. Intelligence In It

 The question is, how did classified intelligence from the United States, showing Israeli military movements that suggest broader action against Iran, get to Tehran? The answer raises uncomfortable questions for the Biden-Harris White House, which has opposed Israel every step of the way in responding to Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran. Defying Biden got Israel the entire leadership of Hezbollah and Hamas, with the ultimate threat still looming: Iran and its nuclear program. Operations against Iran are being assessed also because Iran has started firing ballistic missiles into Israel, targeting civilian centers across the country. If Israel is close to launching a broader offensive against Iran, leaking U.S. intelligence would be a way to both try and deter Israel and give more warning to Iran. In 2012, similar allegations were made against the Obama administration when U.S. intelligence leaks showed that Israel was working towards using "Azerbaijan as a base of operations in the event...
