Sen. Warren Seeks To Ban Construction of New Homes in America Unless They Are ‘Zero Carbon Footprint’ - Sen. Elizabeth’s Warren’s energy deprivation plan for America: No new houses or buildings, ‘zero carbon’ cars & electricity production & no drilling on federal lands and no nuclear energy.
The Green assault on home ownership: ‘We need to seriously question the ideal of private homeownership’ – UCLA Prof.: “Cheap energy is untenable in the face of a climate emergency. And individual homeownership should be seriously questioned.”
Dem presidential candidate Andrew Yang: Climate Change May Require Elimination of Car Ownership – Suggests ‘constant roving fleet of electric cars’ - “We might not own our own cars. Our current car ownership and usage model is really inefficient and bad for the environment,” Yang said.
- Andrew Yang: I’ll Cut Beef Consumption By Making It ‘More Expensive’ to change ‘consumption patterns’
“Cattle is very energy-consuming and energy-expensive,” Yang said. “And if you project forward on what we would need to do to reduce emissions, you would want to modify Americans’ diets over time.” He admitted it would be difficult for the government to dictate diets (well except for the Obamacare bill), so he suggested cattle producers “internalize the cost of emissions” to make meat more expensive. “So then, what that would naturally do, and some people are going to hate this, but it would probably make those products more expensive,” he explained. “And that is appropriate because there is a cost to producing food in that way. And so if you were to make it more expensive, then you would end up changing consumption patterns.”

Claim: ‘San Francisco Is Sinking Into the Earth, Scientists Say…And, of course, it all connects to climate change’
Futurism: And, of course, it all connects to climate change. “If you have all of this going on when you’re right near the waterline, in some cases in San Francisco, then you have to worry about big storms that sea level comes up and inundation more frequently,” Parsons told NBC. Parsons also says he’ll be studying Manhattan next, according to NBC, to further study the effects of sinking on coastal cities in light of rising sea levels.

CNN: ‘Arctic Ocean began warming in 1900, decades earlier than previously thought’ – Reveals ‘worrisome’ ‘flaws’ in climate models
CNN: The Arctic Ocean has been warming since the onset of the 20th century, decades earlier than instrument observations would suggest, according to new research. The study, published Wednesday in the journal Science Advances, found that the expansion of warm Atlantic Ocean water flowing into the Arctic, a phenomenon known as "Atlantification," has caused Arctic water temperature in the region studied to increase by around 2 degrees Celsius since 1900.
Francesco Muschitiello, an author on the study and assistant professor of geography at the University of Cambridge, said the findings were worrisome because the early warming suggests there might be a flaw in the models scientists use to predict how the climate will change. "The reconstructions suggest a substantial increase in the Atlantic Ocean heat and salt transport into the Nordic Sea at the beginning of the 20th century, which is not well simulated by (climate models)," Rong Zhang, a senior scientist at NOAA's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, who was not involved with the study, told CNN. "It's important to understand the cause of this rapid Atlantification, as well as the discrepancies between the model simulations and the reconstructions."#Scott Adams: "Fake News Play of the Year: CNN posts an article that debunks human-caused climate change (or at least the models), so they do it on Thanksgiving so no one notices and give it a misleading framing to conceal it." -
