Marc Morano: "They are trying to make meat a rare and expensive treat. And this has been the stated goal of United Nations reports...But more importantly, it's a plan of Bill Gates, who literally is now America's single largest farmland owner, according to NBC News, and his goal is to get us to eat synthetic lab-grown beef. He wants us to get off all animal agriculture to save the climate. And what they're also doing under these Net Zero climate goals in places like the Netherlands, we saw it in Sri Lanka, it's now moving to Canada and Australia -- they're cutting down high-yield agriculture. So they're creating intentional food shortages. So a desperate, chaotic public is going to be more open to eating anything that's either cheaper or more readily available. And hey, they are promoting insects as a great alternative protein to meat."

Dr. Roger Pielke Jr.: "The Biden Admin won't come close to meeting rates of annual emissions reductions implied by 2025/2030 targets under the Paris Agreement, according to data & projections of the @EIAgov. Next president (Biden?) will need to revisit climate targets."

Tendayi Achiume, who’s finishing up her tenure as United Nations Special Rapporteur on Contemporary Forms of Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance, told The Guardian that “green solutions […] are being implemented at the expense of racially and ethnically marginalised groups and Indigenous peoples.”

"The rush towards sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels, including electric cars and renewable energy, was creating what Achiume described as 'green sacrifice zones', where already marginalised groups were exposed to environmental harms from the extraction of the very minerals needed for green tech."

Peiser: "In Europe, we are degrading our own economies and degrading our nations, in the name of saving the planet without doing anything about CO2 emissions because we are just shifting them abroad, we're just exporting them. That is at the core of all these 27 COPs we've seen over the last 30 years. It's always the same outcome. The developing world, China, India, are not going to risk their own economies, the well-being of their people, their energy security, their national security. We're doing it and we're paying the price for it. And this is the biggest warning to Americans: If you want to avoid your energy bills going up fourfold, don't do what we are doing."

Curry: "We should not delude ourselves into thinking that eliminating emissions would have a noticeable impact on weather and climate extremes in the 21st century. It is very difficult to untangle the roles of natural weather and climate variability, and land use from the slow creep of global warming.  Looking back into the past, including paleoclimatic data, there has been more extreme weather everywhere on the planet.  Thinking that we can minimize severe weather through using atmospheric carbon dioxide as a control knob is a fairy tale...

Once we relax the faux urgency for eliminating CO2 emissions and the stringent timetables, we have time and space to envision new energy systems that can meet the diverse, growing needs of the 21st century."

The developing world, China, India, etc. are not going to risk their own economies, the well-being of their people, their energy security, their national security. We're doing it and we're paying the price for it."
