Chinese Handcuffs: How China Exploits America’s Climate Agenda
May 6, 2024 
Erin Walsh and Andrew Harding

 SUMMARY
Since the 1970s, China has been waging an effective long-term strategy to transform its energy resource vulnerabilities into a net advantage. China’s growing control of and influence over global energy supply chains is providing it with new sources of leverage. Worse still, the U.S. is actively contributing to China’s dominance over the green energy domain while failing to exploit the challenges China has in this sector. With the energy policy trajectory under the Biden Administration, China is positioned to dominate future energy markets for decades to come. This dominance is not inevitable—but the U.S. must act now to prevent it and to free itself from its self-imposed “Chinese handcuffs.”

KEY TAKEAWAYS
America is one of the world’s three largest energy producers; China is the world’s largest energy importer. Yet, current U.S. policy puts energy security at risk.

Over the past few decades, China has been executing a plan to reverse these roles by dominating the so-called green movement openly embraced by the political Left.

The Biden Administration rejoined the Paris Agreement, jeopardizing U.S. energy security, saddling the U.S. with high financial costs, and giving China a free ride.

There just might be 74 million reasons environmental charities ignore eagles and whales, and reject zero emission nuclear

By Jo Nova

Renewable billionaires would be crazy if they weren’t funding “Environmental Activists”

Nick Cater points out one mysterious charity, the Sunrise Project Australia had a “revenue” of $73.8 million* dollars last year and we don’t know where that came from.

Let’s say you made a fortune from Big-Government subsidies and rigged market rules — what would stop you pouring some of those parasitic profits right back into fake environmentalists groups to help “your favourite” politicians win? It has the added bonus that when your wind turbines chop up eagles or deafen the dolphins no one says a word. The same sell-out environmental groups would .. do nothing at all. Mum’s the word! Which is exactly what Greenpeace and the WWF seem to do — nothing.

Let’s just say hypothetically, that you ran a company completely dependent on politicians to create rigged market rules — like banning your main competitor? (Nuclear power). What would stop you funneling some of those profits into environmental cover groups to whip up “grassroots” whinges into a fully mature political campaign with digital databases and social media tracking?

And conveniently for them, as Nick Cater points out, the Australian Electoral Commission doesn’t classify […]

Every time I see something like this, I think democrats and rinos can't possibly come with up dumber excuses to blame "global warming" for, they prove their massive creativity for excuses humbles my poor brain.

There is one reason the framers of the Constitution planned on separation of church and state.  Clergy are not scientists.

Scientist Or Activist? With Climate Change, It’s Often Hard To Tell The Difference
by I & I Editorial Board  3 hours ago 
 

Last week, Nature magazine allotted space to a researcher who wrote about “​​the importance of distinguishing climate science from climate activism.” [emphasis, links added]

While surprising, it is nonetheless encouraging. It’s well past the time the zealots in white coats were outed for who they were.


Ulf Büntgen, affiliated with multiple universities, wrote that he is “concerned by climate scientists becoming climate activists,” and is also “worried about activists who pretend to be scientists,” because doing so “can be a misleading form of instrumentalization.”

That Nature would allow something bordering on blasphemy in the climate cult to appear in its pages is rather remarkable.
