A Short ESG Guide: Introduction

The murky precepts of Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) criteria wield growing influence in investing and in regulation. Those who want to understand the reshaping of our financial landscape, especially as a means to resist it, should be familiar with ESG’s terms, goals, vocabulary, and advocates. Below, I sketch out several dimensions.

ESG advocates want to reshape the world in profound ways — from how we travel and heat our homes to what businesses must prioritize and whom global supply chains should benefit. They want to move the world to a “low-carbon” economy built on renewable energy. They also favor dramatic redistribution of wealth and power from the “haves” to the “have nots.” Increasingly, they make business their ally (willingly or unwillingly) in carrying out their plans.

To address these concerns with nuance and thoughtfulness, rather than simply reacting, we must raise  awareness of ESG criteria, how they are being used, and what kinds of problems they will create. ESG will likely be around for a long time, so it’s worth taking some time to understand it thoroughly.

Police Raid Man’s Home For Heating It With S9, Charged With Intentional Climate Change

The Bitcoin mining industry is being thrown into chaos as a Canadian man has been arrested for heating his home with an Antminer S9. The man posted a video of his setup on Twitter which lead to law enforcement visiting his home and arresting him. He faces up to 3 months in jail and $600 in fines for “Causing distress to the community” and “intentionally warming the climate.”

The officers raiding the home arrived heavily armed, and even shot the man’s dog who was barking in the hallway after they kicked the door down. Body cam footage shows police laughing after shooting the dog, and one officer exclaimed, “Wow I finally got my first one.” Unfortunately, in Canada, shooting peoples pets is a protected action under qualified immunity.

Canada has been a hotbed for Bitcoin mining, but now many miners are fearful they too will be charged with similar charges. The Canadian government has been unclear about what their intentions are and whether this applies to all Bitcoin miners or just people who post their miners on Twitter. There are also rumors that the Canadian government is going to be rolling out an emissions system to test miners for carbon production, and will be requiring registration.

Many have pointed out how similar Bitcoin miners are to other applications such as space heaters, large data center servers, and just about any application that consumes electricity. Bitcoin miners produce just as much carbon as electric vehicles, yet they are being treated very differently, suggesting the move is targeted. Despite that, the issue of climate change is of upmost concern. If sea levels rise, it will destroy all the billionaires beach front property and secret Caribbean islands.

Elizabeth Warren applauded the move and stated, “1 s9 running emits 4 units of climate change an hour. 1 Bitcoin transaction emits 16 units of climate change. We must be like Canada and stop the madness.” Senate Republicans are currently organizing to censor Warren’s comments on the subject until she passes a basic literacy test.

17 Questions to Challenge the Climate Change Crisis

We are forever getting told of a forthcoming major climate change crisis. How we are destroying our planet by unwittingly contributing to potential catastrophic famines, flooding and heatwaves… through our negligence to climate change.

Many have challenged this climate change crisis claim: It has been said that the human-led climate change crisis is a monumental lie. A deceptive Deep State tool. A PSYOP used to control the sleeping masses to get their compliance as they blindly walk into an engineered dystopia under the guise of saving the world.

In reflection of this, here are 17 truth-seeking questions to challenge the climate change crisis claim and its related implications that something desperately needs to be done to prevent the so-called predicted catastrophic events.

Bloomberg Pushes Climate Doom As Reason Why You Must Eat Bugs

The US is one of the world’s largest exporters of agricultural products. Still, the corporate press continues to promote ‘climate change’ disinformation (read: here) to accelerate the normalization of insects and lab-grown meat into the food supply.

Bloomberg is the latest corporate media to use fear to sell what might be a World Economic Forum agenda of introducing bugs and lab-grown meat into the food supply: 

“You may see lab-grown meat and insects on the menu in future decades, as the world grapples with challenges to food security posed by climate change and conflict.” 

Bloomberg’s Keira Wright was covering Sydney’s South by South West festival earlier this month, when she said panelists were talking about lab-grown meat, edible insects, and vertical farming. 

Wright continued with more climate doom in the article: 

“Climate change has made weather more volatile and hotter in many parts of the world, damaging corn crops in the US, slashing wheat crop forecasts in Australia and even accelerating the spread of deadly pests in China.” 

However, did anyone tell Wright, the editors, or maybe even billionaire Mike Bloomberg about the inconvenient truth of 1,600 international scientists who said in August, “There is no climate emergency.” 

Meanwhile, Bezos’ The Washington Post recently advised Americans to eat ants and crickets.

The Delusional Climate Countdown – A Holistic Appraisal of Real Climate Change

I have chosen to write this essay in the form of a question and answer dialogue so as to present clear answers to the falsifications presently dividing our world.

Q. Is the climate changing?

A. Yes

Q. In what way?

A. In many ways. Everything that exists is undergoing a continuous process of change.

Q. Can you explain..

A. This world, its biosphere and the universe within which the drama of life unfolds are fully interrelated and inseparable; all parts contributing to changes of the whole. Therefore to claim that any one factor, for example CO2. Is the causative agent of climate change, cannot be right.

Q. But there is some causative agent at work raising temperatures and provoking climate change, is there not?

A. In spite of global climate institutions like the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) placing a heavily biased emphasis on the burning of hydrocarbons as the chief causative agent behind Global Warming/Climate Change, this is a gross reductionist misinterpretation of the reality. These ‘scientists’ are incapable of providing empirical evidence concerning the nature of this change, or indeed, whether global mean temperatures are actually rising, falling or remaining approximately the same.

Q. So we can’t expect science, as formally taught in academic institutions, to have any answers?

A. Exactly. Nor should we give any credence to irresponsible politicians whose robotic response to any criticism of the CO2 story is “Follow the science.”

Only a basic grasp of quantum physics, with its recurring multi dimensional patterns of cause and effect, could begin to identify the causative agents behind discernible processes of change in the climate. Let alone qualify the existence of supposed ‘man made’ changes.

Q. But surely we can safely say that observable, more extreme climate events are taking place at this time?

A. There do appear to be more extreme events. There can be a number of reasons for these, none of which are down to one specific causal agent. For example, continual thinning of the ozone layer, specific solar activity, a weaker magnetosphere and/or the continual shifting of the magnetic poles. Any one of these, or all three, can play on the changes you mention.

Q. How is it possible that almost 100% of global political policy makers have uncritically accepted the veracity of computer modelling exercises (used by IPCC climatologists) as ‘absolute evidence’ of carbon dioxide being the key factor behind global warming?

A. To answer this requires an awareness of the psychological persuasiveness that operates behind an irrational belief in ‘science having the answer’. There is a great clamour for ‘a fixed remedy’ to any perceived problem, and when this doesn’t emerge, any invention is adopted that achieves consensus amongst like minded individuals and fits the parameters of the politically acceptable position of the day.

Harry and Meghan fly to Caribbean on a private jet… days after attending a conference where attendees were told ‘climate change is impacting our mental health’

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex flew off to a Caribbean island on a private jet just days after attending a conference discussing the impact of climate change on mental health.

Harry and Meghan used a Dassault Falcon 7X jet to fly from New Jersey to Canouan after attending the summit in New York on October 10, and again for the four hour hop between the exclusive retreat and Atlanta, Georgia. 

They attended the conference organised by Project Healthy Minds, during which Zak Williams, the son of comedian and actor Robin Williams told attendees that climate change was adversely effecting mental health, particularly in young people.

The couple have in the past been keen to highlight their green credentials. When interviewed by Oprah Winfrey two years ago, Harry identified climate change and mental health as the two ‘pressing issues’.

But the pair aren’t strangers to private jets either. In 2019 Harry and Meghan came under scrutiny for racking up four flights by private jet in the space of just 11 days, including one to Sir Elton John‘s home in Nice.

Climate Crisis Proponents Want to Criminalize Climate Change Doubts

Climate militants seek to criminalize any opinion or facts contrary to the religion of climate change.

Will the wrong ideas about climate change get you fined, jailed, or even worse?

Could voicing an opinion that questions the facts and fictions that surround the climate change hysteria soon become illegal, as in lawfully forbidden and a criminal offense?

It’s looking like that may become the reality sooner rather than later.

It would be one thing if such a monstrous idea were restricted to a small minority of powerless climate change fanatics, tree huggers, and earth worshippers. Unfortunately, that isn’t the case.

What’s more, this unbelievable and un-American notion is so irrational that it seems impossible to believe.

Stockholm To Ban Gas And Diesel Cars Starting In 2025

The ban on gas and diesel vehicles is officially making its way across the globe, with Stockholm the next city in the queue. 

The Swedish capital now has a plan in place to ban gas and diesel cars in part of the city beginning in 2025, according to Bloomberg. The ban is going to begin in a 20 block area around the capital’s finance hub, the report says.

The same area also houses the city’s main shopping attractions. It’ll only allow “electric cars, some hybrid trucks and fuel cell vehicles”, the report says, citing rules reported by SVT that will be presented mid-week.

Stockholm is poised to become a trailblazer among major capitals by considering the prohibition on a scale previously unseen. The proposal surpasses the efforts of cities like Paris, Athens, and Madrid, which have also set their sights on banning diesel cars.

In the same vein, some cities like London have implemented measures like low-emission zones, where drivers of older combustion engine vehicles are required to pay daily fees for access to the city center.

Bill Gates Stuns Audience by Denying There’s a ‘Climate Crisis’

Bill Gates, who is worth an estimated $7 billion, recently seemed to backtrack on some of his prior statements about climate change.

“There’s a lot of climate exaggeration,” said Gates at a recent event. “The climate is not the end of the planet. So the planet is going to be fine.”

Gates made the remark at the Earthshot Prize Innovation Summit, which was also attended by billionaire Michael Bloomberg and British Prince William.

A few days later, at a New York Times event, he made a similarly climate-related remark. As Gates put it, “there are effects on humanity, the planet less so,” and “no temperate country is going to become uninhabitable.”

Gates added at the NY Times event that if world leaders are going to implement climate polices, it cannot be achieved by using “brute force.”

Holidays could be restricted if personal carbon allowances are introduced, warns travel firm

International travel could be restricted by carbon passports as global temperatures rise, a holiday company has warned.

A report by Intrepid Travel claimed drastic measures could be introduced as many popular destinations face “extinction”.

It predicted that “personal carbon allowances” may be introduced to reduce emissions.

The report stated: “These allowances will manifest as passports that force people to ration their carbon in line with the global carbon budget, which is 750 billion tonnes until 2050.

“By 2040, we can expect to see limitations imposed on the amount of travel that is permitted each year.”

It added that travellers will be “forced to forgo the horizon-expanding experiences so readily embraced by today’s tourists”.

The report, produced in partnership with foresight agency, The Future Laboratory, warned that climate change means destinations such as Greece and Majorca may become too hot for many people to enjoy summer holidays, causing a switch to cooler locations such as Belgium, Slovenia and Poland.

It stated: “At this pivotal moment in climate history, lack of action from the travel industry will see catastrophic and fatal trends continue to develop.”
