What Happened to Global Warming?

[F6Dave]

The climate change narrative seems to be dying fast. Nearly every day I read about a car company dropping or scaling back EV production, or oil companies backing off their pledges to transition away from hydrocarbons. The Post Office gave up on electric mail trucks. And my county just rejected a plan to build high voltage transmission lines to connect Eastern Colorado wind farms to the Denver area. It would have placed 200 foot high towers in people's front yards.

There's still a long way to go, especially in blue states, but in a few years I hope we're looking back on this crazy time in disbelief.

If the left regains any level of control, just stand back, they are like a dog with a bone.

Taxachusets WAS requiring municipalities to purchase only electric cars and trucks starting with the 2026 year.
But that has been delayed.
The trucks are not ready, the charging stations are not built. The “electric” heavy equipment is years away. Hopefully never now that the big guy is gone…..

Simple common sense may actually prevail.

As long as the D's are not at the helm of the ship of State.

The auto makers were loosing big money. As soon as the rediculous mandates were repealed,  they reverted back to building vehicles that sell. I am happy that the Feds aren't funding transmission lines to transfer electricity from one state to another.
The greenies are still protesting and waging war in their heads, it's just not being reported as the "sky is falling" anymore.
As stated above, as soon as they regain some control they will be on it like duck on June bug again

The true believers are still out there, and a LOT of that stuff still happening...

I'm dealing with "An offer I can't refuse" to bulldoze my land for a solar farm right now.

(So stupid to clear cut thousands of acres of greenery, lots of old growth forest when a small nucular (*Wink*) power plant could generate more power more reliably in a much smaller footprint.)

Global warming is sitting out this administration and having a cup of coffee with the 1970’s ice age theorists discussing which will be next, the windy weather agenda or how many clouds should be the norm on any given day.

Hey, global warming went out the window several years ago.   IT is now "Climate Change".  They had to change it because the planet wasn't warming enough.  So any Snow storm, thunder storm, heat wave, or cold front is now blamed on Climate Change.   

Funny thing, they changed the definition of a heat wave from 5 days to 3 days a couple years ago to make it sound more scary.

Karenna Aitcheson Gore (born August 6, 1973) is an American author, lawyer, and climate activist. She is the eldest daughter of Al gore. UN globalist like her father.
 
In 2014, she organized "Religions for the Earth," a conference held in conjunction with the 2014 United Nations Climate Summit. Religions for the Earth brought together more than 200 religious and spiritual leaders to redefine the climate crisis "as an urgent moral imperative."[15]

Based on the success of this conference, Gore founded the Center for Earth Ethics (CEE) at Union Theological Seminary the following year. CEE "bridges the worlds of religion, academia, politics, and culture to discern and pursue the necessary changes to stop ecological destruction and create a society that values life."[16] She is CEE's executive director and is an ex officio faculty member of The Earth Institute at Columbia University.

She serves on the boards of the Association to Benefit Children,[17] Pando Populus,[18] and Riverkeeper.[19] She is also an expert in the United Nations’ Harmony with Nature Knowledge Network.[20][21]
Activism

Gore has been heavily involved in climate activism, both in writing and direct action, including opposition to the construction of new pipelines and other infrastructure to support the fossil fuel industry.

In 2016, Gore was part of the successful campaign against a fracked gas pipeline (the Constitution pipeline) through New York state, publishing an op-ed in the New York Times on the issue.[22]

In June 2016, Gore was among 23 protesters who were arrested for demonstrating at the site of construction of a pipeline in Boston that would carry fracked gas for the Houston-based Spectra company.[23] She subsequently published an opinion piece, "Why I was arrested in West Roxbury," in The Boston Globe.[24]

In 2021, on the 49th anniversary of the Clean Water Act, she published a guest essay in the Virginia Mercury in opposition to the Mountain Valley Pipeline.

I read that Zeldin's EPA is looking at getting rid of the irritating Stop/Start 'feature' on most new cars. Surveys show drivers absolutely hate it.

Not only do they tell people how to live, they make your cars tell you how to drive.

My bikes already turn off with the key, the kill switch, the kickstand... or if I stall.  So mostly on purpose.
