Global Warming Policy Forum 29/04/20 António Guterres calls for coronavirus aid to be directed at firms with green credentials Governments should not use taxpayer cash to rescue fossil fuel companies and carbon-intensive industries, but should devote economic rescue packages for the coronavirus crisis to businesses that cut greenhouse gas emissions and create green jobs, the UN secretary general has urged. “Where taxpayers’ money is used to rescue businesses, it must be creating green jobs and sustainable and inclusive growth,” said António Guterres, speaking at the Petersberg Climate Dialogue, a virtual meeting of more than 30 governments on the climate crisis, …

by Eric Worrall | April 28, 2020 The United Nations has moved on from conducting simple surveys which all too frequently reveal an embarrassing lack of concern about climate change. Now they ask activists to hold conversations with their followers, and claim the reported outcome of those conversations is evidence of public support for climate action. Global public tells the United Nations: Take action on climate change and the environment The United Nations is marking its 75th anniversary at a time of great upheaval, as COVID-19 continues to spread, exacting a heavy toll on lives, societies and economies in all regions of …

Daily Caller Chris White Tech Reporter April 26, 2020 Anti-fossil fuel activists unsuccessfully attempted to browbeat the film producer behind a Michael Moore documentary panning green energy into permanently removing the movie over claims that it contains pro-oil industry misinformation. Activist Josh Fox, climate scientist Michael Mann and other environmentalists signed onto a petition Friday asking the producer to take down “Planet of the Humans,” saying Moore’s film relies on old data to claim solar and wind energy is dependent on fossil fuels. Films for Action initially nixed the film before putting it back online, saying the move was meant to …

Daily Caller Chris White | March 24, 2020 Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren’s former advisers are involved in a plan to cajole Democrats into supporting a Green New Deal stimulus plan that will effectively overturn the U.S. economy, which is spiraling from coronavirus quarantines. Dozens of activists and environmental policy advisers offered a plan Sunday that would turn the COVID-19 pandemic stimulus into a massive Green New Deal project. The project would require Congress take up a multi-billion stimulus package every year until the U.S. is free of oil. The stimulus would be renewed “annually at 4% of GDP …

Breitbart Victoria Friedman | 19 Feb 2020 The chairman of the Police Federation has said that officers are too frightened to arrest Extinction Rebellion vandals for fear of facing lawsuits, the remarks coming after widespread criticism of law enforcement allowing eco-extremists to rip up turf in London and Cambridge, at times as police officers looked on. One recent instance of criminal damage occurred when Extinction Rebellion (XR) activists ripped up turf outside of the Home Office in London and later did the same to the ancient lawn at Trinity College, Cambridge, as well as putting up roadblocks in the university city. …

Principia Scientific February 6, 2020 | by John O’Sullivan The indomitable champion of climate realism in Australian politics, Malcolm Roberts, Senator for Queensland, gave an impassioned speech earlier this week calling out alleged climate data fraudster, Dr Michael ‘hockey stick’ Mann. Regular readers of Principia Scientific will know that our founding chairman, Canadian skeptic climatologist, Dr Tim Ball, sensationally defeated Dr Mann in this ‘science trial of the century‘ last August in the Supreme Court of British Columbia, Vancouver (Judge’s ruling here). The eight-year, multi-million-dollar lawsuit ended so badly for Mann that the judge awarded full legal costs to Dr …

Daily Caller Chris White | January 30, 2020 Democratic Florida Rep. Kathy Castor is getting pushback from climate skeptics after she asked Google on Monday to nix content on YouTube that takes a skeptical approach to United Nations’ climate models. Castor asked CEO Sundar Pichai in a Jan. 27 letter not to incentivize “climate misinformation content on its platform.” She made the request after a Jan. 16 report from a nonprofit group suggested it found examples where YouTube’s algorithms promoted so-called climate denialism. “Stop promoting climate denial and climate disinformation videos by removing them immediately from the platform’s recommendation algorithm,” …
