Green cult destroying farmland to reduce population – that’s what going “carbon zero” actually means
Dec 28, 2023 The climate cult has set its sights on arable farmland and the food supply at large, which they claim is overheating the planet because there are simply too many people eating. "Wind generators or solar panels consume one-third of the farmland worldwide," writes Martin Armstrong for Armstrong Economic. "This is what has inspired this thinking that we MUST reduce the population. The U.S. food system contributes nearly 20 percent of the nation's carbon dioxide emissions. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) says that agricultural land use contributes 12 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. https://www.newstarget.com/2023-12-2...rbon-zero.html I post this to lead into what I feel is one of the most dangerous trends in our future. Natural Asset Company Pending regulations (NACs) In their own words: To address the large and complex challenges of climate change and the transition to a more sustainable economy, NYSE and Intrinsic Exchange Group (IEG) are pioneering a new class of listed company based on nature and the benefits that nature provides (termed ecosystem services). NACs will capture the intrinsic and productive value of nature and provide a store of value based on the vital assets that underpin our entire economy and make life on earth possible. Examples of natural assets that could benefit from the NAC structure include natural landscapes such as forests, wetlands and coral reefs, as well as working lands such as farms. They profit from “ecological performance” such as “conservation, restoration, or sustainable management.” These NACs would quantify and monetize these natural outputs (such as air or water). Traditional accounting standards would not be used to regulate NACs. Likely, this is because NACs would not withstand scrutiny under generally accepted accounting principles. Rather, a new accounting framework would be created by the Intrinsic Exchange Group (IEG). Not coincidentally, the NYSE is an investor in IEG, and would stand to profit off the IEG’s position as an accounting authority. These efforts intentionally prioritize environmentalism over human flourishing. IEG admits that “producing these essential goods and services and managing resources wisely is as valuable, or perhaps even more valuable, than the food production.” https://www.tsln.com/news/natural-as...-land-schemes/ This massive grift was being pushed through the SEC with a limited comment period before the Christmas holidays. This Monday will most likely be the creation of a new asset class. The rich will get richer and the poor will die. I have spent my non working hours the last month getting the word out on this but there is no political solution that will fix this as this is a regulatory end run on land use. Yes if you read any of this, federal land are included in this, a sovereign wealth fund from say Iran could lock up massive amounts of farm land owned by the bureau of land management and control the use of that land. What could possibly go wrong. This is an excellent short piece from Carol Roth economist. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1...296887101.html Last edited by Car-Addicted; 01-13-2024 at 06:31 AM.. |

Extreme cold in Calgary putting strain on grid and EV's battery capacity, Tesla reduced to 50% battery range.

Interspecific competition In Biology, competition is defined as the process that occurs among species that have to compete for limited resources in order to survive. This competition over resources occurs between organisms because these species have niches that overlap and so they are forced to use the same resources such as food, water, and shelter. Competition is a perfect example of one of the many symbiotic relationships that happen in ecosystems. The global elites have decided that our dystopian future will be about food and water. |

In 2016 when I was working on a project where we had comms infrastructure on oil platforms in the Gulf of Mexico (GOMEX). In short GOMEX oil platforms move from oil reserves to oil reserves as the oil is depleted. The oil fields a divided into "blocks". One rig in Green Banks was being decommissioned, which required us to relocate our equipment to a new platform. As one would expect, the process takes several years of planning for both the oil company and my company to implement a new location. For this particular oil platform, about 20 months into the relocation process, the platform was un-decommissioned. The Green Banks block began producing oil again. Being the curious lad that I am, I investigated how it could be possible for an oil field to dry up then again produce oil. My research led me to learn of Abiotic oil creation theory (which dates back to the late 1800's in Russia). More curious it is a theory I did not learn about in the several courses I've taken in geology (or perhaps it had slipped from my aged brain). But one will discover Wikipedia basically states the theory has been debunked (of course)...

2- Negligence 3- But.... I can see snow in the video... So , probably the owner wanted to avoid the well known EV battery problems with the cold night temps. As we can see , the I-Pace was too hot now ! But it could have been much worse , if the owner was not at home

Build Back Better: China Becomes World’s Top Exporter of Cars
11 Jan 2024 According to the China Passenger Car Association, China is now the world’s largest exporter of cars thanks to a massive 62 percent jump in light-vehicle exports in 2023, Automotive News reports. In total, China’s vehicle exports hit nearly 5.3 million last year at a value of $102 billion. Japan, meanwhile, saw its vehicle exports come in at 4.3 million in 2023. China’s domination of car exporting comes as the Chinese automaker BYD, financially backed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), is now the world’s biggest seller of Electric Vehicles (EVs) after overtaking U.S.-based Tesla for the title. In the coming year, BYD and other Chinese automakers are hoping to flood the U.S. market with cheap, subsidized EVs to sell to Americans who are turned off by Tesla EVs and their high prices. Again, I find myself saying "What could possibly go Wrong" |

Fleet of Electric Buses Suspended in London After Sudden Fire in Wimbledon
13 Jan 2024 On Thursday, an electric bus caught on fire on Wimbledon Hill Road in London. While no injuries were reported and investigations into the cause of the fire are still ongoing, the office of London Mayor Sadiq Khan — a chief proponent of the green agenda in Britain — announced the suspension of the same model of electric busses from the route. In addition, the Mayor’s office said that all electric busses active in London produced by the firm Switch “will be checked thoroughly as a matter of urgency,” the Evening Standard reports. I'm sure that will buff right out Transport for London claims to currently have “more than 1,000 zero-emission buses operate in our fleet — both single and double-deck vehicles, built by various manufacturers in the UK and globally.” Far-left Mayor Sadiq Khan has put forward plans to transform the city’s entire fleet of buses to “zero emissions” by the year 2034, meaning that around 8,000 buses will need to be switched out over the next decade. We have a large supply of stupid these days, but almost nothing is more stupid than electrical heavy vehicles, Bus's, Trailer trucks, Cement mixer's, etc. Just down right stupid and down right dangerous. |
