The unbridled climate frenzy that has become the new religion of the radical left wing of the Democratic Party and its media/academia allies is becoming dangerous. Stopping hydrocarbon energy in the U.S. without a viable alternative will result in super-inflation.

China burned more coal than ever last year and is on pace to build 2,000 more coal-fired power plants.

President Biden waived sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 pipeline from Russia to Germany, but stopped the Keystone XL pipeline. He has given control over oil back to OPEC. Gas is already up 50% since the radicals took over and will go far higher as hydrocarbon fuels are restricted.

In the U.S., wind farms kill hundreds of thousands of bats and migratory birds every year. These creatures eat insects and rodents, which helps keep diseases under control. Perhaps the new mystery disease that is killing songbirds across the U.S. is one result.

Carbon dioxide is a trace gas in the atmosphere, but is an essential nutrient for plants. It is currently less than 0.04%, and human contribution to that level is less than 25%. It has been far higher over the course of history, both in cold and warm periods. If carbon dioxide falls below about 0.025%, all green plants will die, and farmlands will become deserts. Climate frenzy could be an ecological disaster.

Climate change occurs on every planet, humans or not. It’s time for people to question the motives of the radicals.
