"The consequences of climate change can exacerbate the risk of sexual & gender-based violence, especially those facing intersecting forms of discrimination including Indigenous women & girls," tweeted Christine Clarke, the "Australian Ambassador for Women and Girls" on June 28, 2022. Clarke featured a video with her climate gender violence message. 

Shellenberger: "The experts were wrong once again." - All of this has soured the oil and gas industry on investing in production. “If you were an oil company,” a senior executive at a major US bank told me, why would you invest hundreds of millions of dollars into expanding refining capacity if you thought the federal government or investors would shut you down in the next few years? The narrative coming from the administration is absolutely insane.”

“We are determined to achieve our goals. We can achieve our goals,” Kerry told AFP. “But if the majority of the Supreme Court in the United States really understands the gravity of the situation and is willing to try to be helpful rather than a hindrance, that would certainly help,” he added. ... 

China, the world’s biggest carbon emitter, on Friday called on all countries to comply with the Paris pledges. “Singing slogans is not enough,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said of the United States. Kerry, who has worked with Chinese officials despite growing tensions between Beijing and Washington, said he was “not surprised by the news.”

“We’re going to show China exactly how we’re going to do the job,” he said.

Marc Morano: We're shutting down our domestic energy which we were wanting to dominate for the first time since Harry Truman under Trump to now more reliance on China and more reliance on Russian mining of nickel. This is a disaster but it's exactly in line with what Economic Forum, the United Nations, and the World Health Organization, -- they have decided they want a weakened America to be collapsed and then rebuilt in the globalist image with massive Chinese influence.

Video of Biden Adviser Defending 'Liberal World Order' Viewed Over 1M Times - According to World101, an online course from the Council on Foreign Relations think tank, the "liberal world order" refers to a "series of international organizations and agreements to promote global cooperation on issues including security, trade, health, and monetary policy." It was created by world leaders in the wake of World War II in an effort to prevent the world from devolving into such violence again, and the U.S. has "championed" the system since, according to the explainer.

Reality Check: Supreme Court issues pro-science & democracy ruling on CO2: Morano: ‘One small step for climate sanity, one giant leap for democracy’

‘EPA loses – America Wins’: Supreme Court rules against overreach by EPA

Climate Depot's Morano: "That's one small step for climate sanity, one giant leap for democracy. Today's Supreme Court ruling reigning in the power of the unelected bureaucracy to essentially regulate every aspect of the American economy under the guise of 'climate change' -- has been mercifully laid to rest. CO2 is not a pollutant, humans inhale oxygen and exhale CO2. Humans are not 'pollution. I have been stating the obvious since 2007."

MSNBC: Supreme Court is ‘now a threat to the planet’ – ABC News: ‘Who is going to save the planet?’ – Dems & media melt down over high court’s EPA decision

Steve Milloy: Today’s elevation is not all that different from the low points of 1956 and 1965 (about 1,090 feet, shown in first graph), especially when you consider the increases in water use and human management of reservoir levels over time. No doubt that drought is affecting Lake Mead. But Western drought is natural (the region is a desert, after all), and Lake Mead was comparably low more than 100 ppm CO2 ago.

The case before the U.S. Supreme Court is West Virginia vs. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).The primary plaintiff of the case is West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey; he is joined by attorney generals from Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming. Morrissey’s office is also representing the interests of two coal companies in the case. The EPA, backed by the administration of President Joe Biden, is being represented by the U.S. Solicitor General. ... In a 2007 Supreme Court case, the Justices ruled 5-4 in Massachusetts vs. EPA that the agency has to limit greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act if they’re a threat to public health. In a 2009  endangerment finding, the EPA determined carbon dioxide was indeed a threat to public health.  Based on that Supreme Court ruling, the Trump administration couldn’t simply kill the CPP; it needed to have a plausible replacement to it.

The plaintiffs argue that decisions around emissions should be at the hands of elected officials and not the EPA. ... What the court decides will have huge implications for the scope of federal administrative power and climate change policy.

Flashback 2007: Inhofe Spokesman Morano: 'CO2 is not an air pollutant and should not be treated as one'...

IEA Director Fatih Birol on Tuesday said that “a complete cut-off of Russian gas supplies to Europe could result in storage fill levels being well below average ahead of the winter, leaving the EU in a very vulnerable position.”  ... 

German officials warned that the country is under threat of having to ration gas usage, which would have a devastating effect on the economy. German Minister for Economic Affairs Robert Habeck said the country had entered the “second alert level” of its emergency gas plan.

“Even if we don’t feel it yet, we are in the midst of a gas crisis. From now on, gas is a scarce asset,” Habeck said.

Bill Gates, Sir Richard Branson, Hollywood actors, venture capitalists — they’re all pushing lab-grown meat as the solution to world hunger and environmental sustainability, but scientists last week told a panel of experts they have serious concerns about the product’s safety.

A spokesperson for a petroleum association says the Biden administration has worked 'overtime on restricting American natural gas and oil production'

The Department of Energy (DOE) report found that the fuels technology sector experienced job losses totaling 29,271 jobs in 2021, a 3.1% year-over-year decline, with the majority coming in the fossil fuel industry. Onshore and offshore petroleum companies shed 31,593 jobs, a 6.4% decline, the coal industry lost 7,125 jobs, down 11.8% year-over-year, and fossil fuel extraction jobs declined by 12%.

The administrative state for the better part of a century, and really dating back to the Pendleton Act of 1883, has designed policy, made policy, structured policy, implemented policy, and interpreted policy while operating outside the control of Congress, the president, and the judiciary.  The gradual rise of this 4th branch of government – which is very much the most powerful branch – has reduced the American political process to mere theater as compared with the real activity of government, which rests with the permanent bureaucracy. 

Businesses and governments will do whatever they have to do to get the electricity they need. The Iron Law matters because the electricity sector is the largest emitter of carbon dioxide emissions. And politicians from  China to the Czech Republic are going to do everything they can, including “burning anything” they can find, to avoid blackouts.

"Renewable energy cannot, will not, be able to meet soaring global energy demand."

Climate activists don't like seeing heatwaves in the 1930s hotter by far than any heatwaves today according to Biden's EPA. So a concerted effort is being made led by Prof. Andrew Dessler, to revise the inconvenient data & cool the past compared to today's temps. The climate campaigners erased the Medieval Warm Period previously and they erased the temperature pause.

The draft, dated June 15 and prepared by aides of European Council President Charles Michel, was to be presented at a summit of EU leaders last week, however the EU Commission then "explicitly opposed the text," warning that supporting fertilizer production in developing nations was incompatible with their 'green' initiatives.

Reuters: "The EU Commission explicitly opposed the text, warning that supporting fertiliser production in developing nations would be inconsistent with the EU energy and environment policies, officials said." ... "Fearing a plan to invest in plants in Africa would clash with EU green goals." 

The company responsible for keeping the lights on is working urgently to establish a scheme to pay consumers with smart meters to ration their usage voluntarily when supplies are scarce. It believes that this could be a cheaper and greener option than paying fossil fuel power plants to generate more electricity, as Russia restricts the gas supplies to Europe and stokes fears over security of supply.

Cheers! ‘Climate backtracking’: Germany Pushes for G-7 Reversal on Fossil Fuels in Climate Blow – ‘U-turn in global efforts to fight climate change’

The premier of China’s State Council, Li Keqiang, “urged” energy officials to ramp up coal production this week to stave off electricity blackouts across several Chinese provinces experiencing record power usage during a regional heatwave, the U.K.’s Guardian newspaper.

Bloomberg News: "Pledge to end public financing of such fuels came recently." - Germany is pushing for Group of Seven nations to walk back a commitment that would halt the financing of overseas fossil fuel projects by the end of the year, according to people familiar with the matter. That would be a major reversal on tackling climate change as Russia’s war in Ukraine upends access to energy supplies. ... 

A G-7 shift from a commitment initiated last year and firmed up in May would be a u-turn in global efforts to fight climate change. It would make it harder to rally the rest of the world around more stringent targets and direct investments toward cleaner sources of energy. It would also go against International Energy Agency advice that no new oil and gas projects should be developed if the world is to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
