The fear of COVID is petering out, time for the regime to dial in on a new panic.
Wall Street Journal (8/10/21) column: "The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has issued its latest report assessing the state of the climate and projecting its future. As usual, the media and politicians are exaggerating and distorting the evidence in the report. They lament an allegedly broken climate and proclaim, yet again, that we are facing the 'last, best chance' to save the planet from a hellish future. In fact, things aren’t—and won’t be—anywhere near as dire...Previous climate-assessment reports have misrepresented scientific research in the 'conclusions' presented to policy makers and the media. The summary of the most recent U.S. government climate report, for instance, said heat waves across the U.S. have become more frequent since 1960, but neglected to mention that the body of the report shows they are no more common today than they were in 1900. Knowledgeable independent scientists need to scrutinize the latest U.N. report because of the major societal and economic disruptions that would take place on the way to a 'net zero' world, including the elimination of fossil-fueled electricity, transportation and heat, as well as complete transformation of agricultural methods."

"Placing additional tax burdens on America’s energy industry — already one of the most heavily regulated and taxed industrial sectors — will not only imperil our hard-won energy independence, but it also could result in higher energy costs for businesses and households."
