Marc Morano on parallels between COVID lockdowns and climate agenda "Climate activists saw COVID restrictions as an opportunity—Klaus Schwab called it a 'rare window' to reset the world. John Kerry highlighted 'screaming' similarities. Both push big changes: reduced travel, economic shifts, less growth—framed as urgent responses to crisis. Lockdowns...

Jimmy Dore on Bill Gates’ Climate Change Complete Reversal After years of pushing doomsday climate alarmism, Bill Gates has flipped his stance in a major public reversal. On October 28th, Gates published a memo and spoke on CNBC, dismissing the "cataclysmic climate change" narrative he once supported. Now, he claims climate change "will not lead to humanity’s demise," and people will "live and thrive in most places on Earth for the foreseeable future." This sharp turnaround contradicts Gates’ previous alarming calls warning humanity’s survival was at risk. He now argues that fears about rapid sea level rise, catastrophic hurricanes, and worsening fires were overstated. In fact, he highlights that increased atmospheric carbon has led to more greenery, not less, and that emission projections have declined. Gates urges refocusing efforts away from apocalyptic temperature targets like 1.5 or 2 degrees Celsius, which he says we won't meet, towards improving human welfare, especially in impoverished nations. He stresses the importance of balancing climate action with tackling poverty and disease, pointing out that developing countries have been stuck chasing expensive green solutions instead of affordable fossil fuels. Gates suggests we should prioritize measurable improvements like vaccines and poverty reduction over panicked climate alarmism, even if it means letting temperatures rise slightly. This shift comes amidst criticism of Gates for previous fear-mongering and calls for him to apologize to scientists censored for expressing more moderate views, to young people traumatized by climate dread, and to developing countries boxed in by net zero policies. Meanwhile, Jimmy Dore and others have highlighted this about-face as a validation of years of climate realism and skepticism towards the alarmist orthodoxy. It also fuels distrust in Gates, given his deep vaccine investments and history of public contradictions. In a nutshell, Bill Gates went from climate doomsayer to climate realist advocating a pragmatic approach that prioritizes human lives over chasing impossible temperature goals—a pivot sure to stir controversy, inspire debate, and make many reconsider the climate crisis narrative as we know it.

World Economic Forum - 15 Minute Cities and Climate Lockdowns. European MP Christine Anderson issues a stark warning: the convergence of automation, "15-minute cities," and climate policies is not about convenience or sustainability—it's about constructing a framework for ultimate control. In a recent interview, Anderson dissects what she sees as a deliberate agenda to strip human autonomy. She argues that the push for hyper-efficient urban design, like the 15-minute city model, creates the necessary infrastructure for future "climate lockdowns." This isn't theoretical; she points to legislation already passed in parts of Great Britain that could enable such measures. Her vision of the outcome is chillingly feudal: a society where your freedom of movement is a commodity. You may be permitted to leave your designated zone only a handful of times per year, while a wealthy elite can purchase additional passes, effectively buying freedom from the less fortunate. The result? A new class system based on mobility. Anderson then points to Saudi Arabia's "Neom" and "The Line" as the logical endpoint of this control-seeking ideology—a massive, centralized structure housing millions in a perfectly monitored environment. In such a place, compliance is easily enforced through control over essential resources, like a meal-plan prescription system. She concludes that these data points, when connected, reveal a trajectory toward the complete impoverishment and enslavement of the populace. It's a grim forecast, framing the World Economic Forum's "Fourth Industrial Revolution" not as progress, but as a pathway to a modern serfdom. The central question she leaves us with: Are we building smart cities for people, or open-air prisons for subjects?

Since taking office, President Donald Trump has pulled the US out of the United Nations Paris agreement on climate change, unleashed fossil fuel production, cut climate subsidies that were part of the Inflation Reduction Act, and chosen as his Secretary of Energy an oilman who helped create the fracking revolution. Given that Democrats have spent the last 20 years describing climate change as an “existential threat” and making climate policy their highest priority under Biden, one would expect there to be significant protests and other actions by progressives. And yet we’ve seen no significant climate change protests since Trump took office two months ago. No Greta Thunberg marches — she’s moved on to Palestine. No drumbeat from the news media. No Extinction Rebellion activists blocking traffic in DC. “Climate emergency” was not among the words chosen by Democrats in Congress to put on the little placards they held up during Trump’s address to Congress earlier this month. In fact, to the extent there have been protests by Democrats, they have been against the world’s most pioneering electric car manufacturer, Tesla, and have nothing to do with climate change. It’s true that many Democrats still care deeply about climate change and the issue may come back in the future. Where just 23% of Republicans view climate change as a serious threat to the country, 78% of Democrats do. “Executive orders are for show,” says political scientist and climate policy expert, The Honest Broker , on a new podcast for Public, “legislation is for real. And there doesn't seem to be any legislative strategy accompanying anything Trump is doing. As far as pulling out of Paris, we've done this dance before. Trump pulled out to Paris, and then Biden went back in.” And the media and Democrats routinely tie every natural disaster, such as the recent fires in LA, to climate change, even though there’s no good science supporting such connections, in most instances. “Every day there's some extreme weather somewhere,” said Pielke, who is a Senior Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, “and so it is a perfectly made issue for sustaining some degree of attention.” But the partisan polarization over climate change, and the ease with which Trump and Biden can put the US in and out of the Paris agreement, all underscore the overall low level of concern with climate change in comparison to more pressing issues like inflation, migration, and even seemingly fringe issues like transgenderism. “The climate movement is a product of North America and Northern Europe,” said Pielke. “The ‘climate first’ voter is a tiny slice of the political landscape, even though they occupy a lot of attention and time on social media, in universities, and until recently, in the global financial sector. They made a lot of noise, but there weren't a lot of them around to begin with. The climate is just not that important to very many people around the world. People will say it's important. But give them a list of topics and it routinely comes in 17th, 18th, 19th, out of 20.” And now Pielke predicts that climate change could go the way of past environmental scares. “One story for the future of the climate discourse and climate change is that it's not going to go away, but it's going to fade from the center of public view like overpopulation did.” Why did climate change emerge as an issue of concern and then fade? “There's a pretty well-known economist named Anthony Downs who wrote a famous paper called the Issue Attention Cycle,” said Pielke. “It’s like a bell curve. You discover there's a potential problem, there's a lot of excitement, and ‘We’ve got to do something about it!’ Everybody gets on the bandwagon. Then you realize, ‘Oh my gosh, this is difficult! This is challenging!’ And then your attention goes to somewhere else and it's back down. And really climate change is following the Downs’ Issue Attention Cycle perfectly.” Pielke notes that the rate at which economies decarbonize, or reduce the amount of carbon dioxide per unit of GDP, is unchanged. “For the foreseeable future, we will continue to decarbonize the economy no matter what countries say about their climate commitments or whether there's a Viktor Orban or a Donald Trump in office. Decarbonization is much more powerful, it seems, than the politics of the climate. The Paris agreement hasn't really done anything to alter the trajectory of global decarbonization….Climate policy does a lot of things, but reducing carbon dioxide emissions is not one of those things...” Please subscribe now to support Public's award-winning journalism, read the rest of the article, and listen to the full podcast!

Everyone needs to know what is happening in our world right now. • Greenland Ice Sheet (collapse). • West Antarctic Ice Sheet (collapse). • Labrador-Irminger Seas/SPG Convection (collapse). • East Antarctic Subglacial Basins (collapse). • Amazon Rainforest (dieback). • Boreal Permafrost (collapse). • Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (collapse). • Arctic Winter Sea Ice (collapse). • East Antarctic Ice Sheet (collapse). These are the Nine tipping elements that regulate the state of the entire climate system on Earth. The entire Nine tipping elements are showing signs of instability. During the next years this will be the most alarming thing on earth. For example. Greenland ice sheet, accelerated melting, warming four times faster than the planet as a whole. Releasing cold, fresh water, slowing down the overturning of heat in the North Atlantic, pushing the whole monsoon system down further south, causing droughts and forest fires over the Amazon rainforest. And just for perspective, drought causes Yangtze - China’s most important river and the third-longest in the world - to dry up - affecting hydropower, shipping routes, limiting drinking water supplies, and even much worse. We saw the prices of food, fuel and energy soared due to the situation in Ukraine. And this is predicted to make things a lot worse because we depend on China imports than Russia and Ukraine. COVID-19 has reminded us that we live on a small planet, where none of us are isolated from the problems in our global community. So, governments need to remember that the science who told us to worry about COVID-19 and how to deal with it is the same science telling us to worry about climate change with a long list of recommendations on climate actions. Dear friends, this is no longer just a climate crisis. We are now facing something deeper. Mass extinction. Air pollution. Undermining ecosystem functions. Really putting humanity’s future at risk. Which in the future will shift over from supporting humanity to starting to undermine humanity. If we don’t act in the same way about climate change, the effects of a hotter planet will be much worse. This is a humanitarian crisis.
