At its core, the green agenda has always been more about making your life less convenient than it has been about the environment. Always remember that to them, YOU are the problem.
Pennsylvania Daily Star (9/4/23) reports: "Last week, a widely read study was published revealing that the 'plant-based' drinking straws pushed onto diners by eco-activists may actually be more harmful to both the environment and public health than their plastic counterparts. According to research published in the journal Food Additives & Contaminants, the 'plant-based straws' in question contain 'per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS),' which the scientists say are 'not necessarily biodegradable and that the use of such straws potentially contributes to human and environmental exposure of PFAS.' The research is a significant blow to environmentalists who’ve spent years pushing for bans on plastic straws in favor of paper or plant-based ones as an eco-friendly alternative. The studies may be just the latest bit of evidence to suggest that other supposed 'clean' measures have their dirty downsides, often unseen by the public...President Biden’s U.S. Climate Envoy John Kerry told Newsweek that concerns about the dead whales and impact on other wildlife are part of a 'disinformation campaign.' Anecdotes aside, the clean energy activists have a definitional problem with no complete solution in sight: clean energy comes from fossil fuels to one extent or another. Stanford University has acknowledged that 'all renewable technologies' are tied to coal and natural gas due to 'emissions from manufacturing and installing them.' Dan Kish, a senior fellow at the Institute for Energy Research, told Just the News in July that fossil fuels are 'almost exclusively' to thank for green technology. University of California San Diego scientist Nguyen Minh also told Just the News he doesn’t foresee an end to fossil fuels being possible, at best, only a reduction in overall emissions."

"Climate lockdowns still sound like crazytown, but the urge to curtail individual freedom is visible in countless government, media and think-tank blueprints for a controlled future. Saner minds should prevail, but we need constant vigilance to stand guard against the climate-excuse assaults on our liberties."
