Natural Gas Now Best Picks – April 29, 2023

Readers pass along a lot of stuff every week about natural gas, fractivist antics, emissions, renewables, and other news relating to energy.

This week in natural gas; the lack of a climate emergency, FOX controlled in part by BlackRock and the climate scam perpetrated by Big Ugly Green Grifters (BUGGs) just isn’t selling to independent minds which is why authoritarianism is being tried.

Look for these stories below, including links to the original articles!

There Is No Climate Emergency!

We still occasionally read that utterly phony line about 97% of scientists agreeing climate change is threatening the planet, which is sheer nonsense, of course, so it’s nice to see to others calling it out as such:

There is no climate emergency. As I have been saying for years, the climate change agenda to end fossil fuels is merely a fraudulent cause intended to gain power. The Global Climate Intelligence Group (CLINTEL) is an independent foundation founded in 2019 by emeritus professor of geophysics Guus Berkhout and science journalist Marcel Crok. “The climate view of CLINTEL can be easily summarized as: There is no climate emergency.” Over 1540 experts respected in their independent fields have joined CLINTEL to spread the message that there is no scientific data to indicate that climate change is political propaganda.

“Climate science should be less political, while climate policies should be more scientific. In particular, scientists should emphasize that their modeling output is not the result of magic: computer models are human-made. What comes out is fully dependent on what theoreticians and programmers have put in: hypotheses, assumptions, relationships, parameterizations, stability constraints, etc. Unfortunately, in mainstream climate science most of this input is undeclared.

To believe the outcome of a climate model is to believe what the model makers have put in.  This is precisely the problem of today’s climate discussion to which climate models are central. Climate science has degenerated into a discussion based on beliefs, not on sound self-critical science. We should free ourselves from the naïve belief in immature climate models. In future, climate research must give significantly more emphasis to empirical science.”

Climate science currently starts with a preconceived notion that leads to biased, untrustworthy studies, which are often funded by those with special interests. Climate experts have convinced the world that CO2 is a pollutant when it is essential to all life. They have also lied to us and claimed that natural disasters are somehow created by man when there is zero supporting evidence. Climate has varied on a cyclical basis, with the most recent Little Ice Age ending in 1850. We are experiencing nature’s cyclical pattern of warming and there is no case for alarm.”

We must question why governments across the world are fighting tooth and nail to eliminate fossil fuels and our way of life as we know it. Why are we following the World Economic Forum’s 2030 agenda to save a planet that does not need saving? Why are we allowing our elected officials to spend endless funds on an imaginary cause? Everything has a cycle, including the weather. So while the climate may be changing, there is absolutely nothing humans can do to alter the course of nature, and those stating otherwise are lying.

How sweet it is!

Not New News, But Newly Relevant

Many reasons have been advanced for FOX News dropping Tucker Carlson. No one truly knows why except Rupert Murdoch, but I find this information from three months ago to be especially relevant:

Fintel reports that BlackRock has filed a 13G/A form with the SEC disclosing ownership of 45.74MM shares of Fox Corporation, Class A (FOXA). This represents 15.1% of the company…

BlackRock

Fox Corporation produces and distributes compelling news, sports and entertainment content through its iconic domestic brands including: FOX News Media, FOX Sports, FOX Entertainment and FOX Television Stations. These brands hold cultural significance with consumers and commercial importance for distributors and advertisers. The breadth and depth of its footprint allows them to deliver content that engages and informs audiences, develop deeper consumer relationships and create more compelling product offerings. FOX maintains an impressive track record of news, sports, and entertainment industry success that shapes its strategy to capitalize on existing strengths and invest in new initiatives.

Yes, BlackRock, the ESG king of the hill and World Economic Forum partner, is the second largest shareholder of FOX after the Murdoch family and, together with Vanguard (in which it has a large share), most likely has more shares than Rupert and kin today. And, that’s not the worst of it:

Together, BlackRock and Vanguard own 18% of Fox, 16% of CBS, 13% of Comast — which owns NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, and the Sky media group, 12% of CNN, and 12% of Disney — which owns a number of subsidiaries. Media behemoths that may present themselves as rivals are, in reality, owned by the same company.

Combine this with the fact Big Pharma is the biggest advertiser supporting all these entities and one begins to understand what’s really going on here. We were massively propagandized by corporatists during COVID and have been in every way on the issues that matter, issues the major media will not discuss as news because that would undermine the desired narrative. The news has been focused on irrelevancies as we are being robbed by a cartel composed of Big Ugly Green Grifters (BUGGs) opposed to natural gas, Big Pharma trying to sell vaccine mandates and a host of other Bigs seeking ever more money and power.

Yet, the Propaganda Doesn’t Seem to Be Selling

Real science is about skepticism and falsification, not models, theories, programs or politics. It’s not anti-fossil fuels or opposed to natural gas or any other resource per se. It’s simple about unfolding, demonstrable facts. And, junk science doesn’t sell.

A survey conducted by a group within the University of Chicago asked Americans whether humans were causing all or most of climate change.

Whereas 60 per cent held this belief five years ago, that figure has now slumped to 49 per cent…

“Perhaps the most surprising statistic from the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago (EPIC) survey is that 70% of Americans are unwilling to spend more than $2.50 a week to combat climate change,” writes Chris Morrison.

“Nearly four in 10 Americans said they were unwilling to pay a couple of dimes. Despite decades of relentless green doomsday agitprop designed to corral populations into living under a collectivist Net Zero-ordered society, it appears that the vast majority of Americans are unwilling to pay even the chump change in their back pockets to stop the climate changing.”

Such skepticism is quite frankly astonishing given that the ‘official narrative’ on man-made climate change has been vehemently amplified by every single major government entity, corporation, media outlet and cultural institution in existence.

The fact that ‘the regime’ is still struggling to convince huge numbers of people that climate change is both the fault and humans and representative of an existential threat represents a massive failure of re-education and brainwashing.

Yes, ordinary people know when they’re being bamboozled and they can smell the lies a mile away. The climate scam is being noticed and once the truth starts unfolding, it is impossible to stop although many always try.
