  • Politico: Sunrise Movement warns of ‘a death sentence for our generation’ as Biden fails to enact climate agenda – Activists go full ‘public freakout mode’

    Politico: The more confrontational elements of the climate left are in public freakout mode. The youth-oriented Sunrise Movement, which gave Biden’s initial climate plan an F-minus grade during the Democratic primary but praised his initial infrastructure plan for its climate ambition, protested his negotiations with Capito and other Republicans outside the White House last week. Sunrise executive director Varshini Prakash warned on Tuesday that “anything less than a robust jobs and climate package is a death sentence for our generation.”

  • Key Senate Dem Sen. Whitehouse fears climate is falling off the radar – ‘I’m now officially very anxious about climate legislation’

    "I’m now officially very anxious about climate legislation," Whitehouse tweeted.

    • "Climate has fallen out of the infrastructure discussion, as it took its bipartisanship detour. It may not return. So then what?," he tweeted.
    • "I don’t see the preparatory work for a close Senate climate vote taking place in the administration. Why not marshal business support?," Whitehouse added.
    • He also expressed concern about "quarreling" among groups and activists, while claiming that corporate American is "AWOL" and "all the major corporate trade associations suck."

    Warmist Sen. Whitehouse disses Obama's climate legacy! 

     

    Despite President Barack Obama’s support for climate action, said Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), it involved nowhere near the political determination required to curb climate change.

    “After eight years, we were left with nothing. No statute, no regulation, no treaty,” Whitehouse said. “A whole different order of magnitude of seriousness and determination is required. The placid and often disinterested approach of those days is no longer an option.”

  • Media in horror: Claim skeptical ‘climate falsehoods reached millions on Facebook’ – Media claims ‘denialists’ are ‘microtargeting older white men more susceptible to climate disinformation’

    Claim: "Climate denial groups are exploiting Facebook in the months before the election to reach new audiences by microtargeting older white men more susceptible to climate disinformation. For as little as $300 the groups can reach more than 1 million."

    Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), pledged to take action against the company if it does not do more to stop the reach of climate falsehoods. Warren said the company must be held accountable for its role in the climate crisis and that the report "reveals how Facebook lets climate deniers spread dangerous junk to millions of people." "We have repeatedly asked Facebook to close the loopholes that allow misinformation to run rampant on its platform, but its leadership would rather make a quick buck while our planet burns, sea levels rise, and communities — disproportionately Black and Brown — suffer," she said in a statement.

    "Facebook allows these ads to go out under the radar and to have potentially devastating effects within the target population before anyone who knows what they're talking about [and] has any chance to respond and point out that what's being spread is a pack of lies," Whitehouse said.

  • Democrats, greens seek climate mandates on aid to struggling airline, cruise industries: Morano: ‘Dems know that they should never let a crisis go to waste’

  • Democrats don’t want to waste coronavirus panic: Sen. Whitehouse wants climate ‘menu’ included in economic aid package: ‘We’d want a price on carbon’
    Democrats don’t want to waste coronavirus panic: Sen. Whitehouse wants climate ‘menu’ included in economic aid package: ‘We’d want a price on carbon’

    Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse. The Rhode Island Democrat said airlines, in particular, must do more to address their carbon footprint in return for federal financial assistance..."If they want to bail out the airline industry, then the airline industry better damn well be ready to clean up its act in terms of carbon emissions offsets," Whitehouse said. "It can be done, they can do it, and the taxpayer should make sure they're performing it."
    ...

    Whitehouse said he would seek to include carbon offsets as part of any stimulus for carbon-intensive industries. Another potential ask: a "menu" of other climate actions, such as tax incentives for clean energy. "There would be a menu: We'd probably want a tax extender; we'd want a price on carbon; we'd have a long, long list — and don't even get me started on the cruise ships," Whitehouse said.

  • European Union Approves Mealworms & Cricket Powder For Use in Bread, Crackers, Chocolate, & Soups Despite ‘Inconclusive’ Allergy Data

    Europeans now also allowed to eat cricket powder and small mealworms - Earlier in January, the Commission also approved the use of small mealworms. The small mealworm may be used as (spread) paste, frozen, dried and powdered. Powdered mealworm larvae will also serve as a food supplement.

    Daily Wire: Cricket powder will now be permitted in a number of food products, such as multigrain bread, crackers, cereal bars, biscuits, beer-like beverages, chocolates, sauces, whey powder, soups, and other items “intended for the general population,” according to the new regulation. Cricket One, a company that asserts that the insects are “nutritionally more efficient” and serve as a more reliable “source of alternative protein” than livestock, submitted the original application.

    The New York Allergy and Sinus Centers has nevertheless found that “several allergic reactions to crickets” have been reported in the past two years. Individuals allergic to shellfish such as shrimp, crabs, and lobsters “may develop an allergy to crickets” because the species share many of the same proteins. ... Proposals for the increased consumption of crickets and other insects occur as many policymakers voice concern about the impact of meat production on climate change.
