House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Sept 22, 2022: “We saved the planet. We’re saving the planet with record $360 billion to save the planet, generating jobs and cleaner air and cleaner water and jobs and security for our country.”

Climate Depot’s Morano response: Yea! Now can we go back to driving cars, eating meat and using appliances, and controlling our own home thermostats?!
Cheers! Take a moment to let it sink in! With the Inflation Reduction Act going into law, the long battle to fight ‘global warming’ has finally been solved! Let the good times roll! “Roll out the barrel, we’ll have a barrel of fun. Roll out the barrel, we’ve got the blues on the run. Zing boom tararrel, ring out a song of good cheer!”
BUT WAIT…The pork-barrel Inflation Reduction Act will not even impact global CO2 levels, let alone the climate!
We have also heard these premature alleged climate-solving declarations before. But the ‘climate crisis never seems to get ‘solved.’ See:
Flashback: 2015: World leaders hail ‘historic’ Paris climate deal as ‘major leap for mankind’ – U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon: “History will remember this day,” Ban Ki-moon said after the pact was gaveled through to thunderous applause. “The Paris agreement on climate change is a monumental success for the planet and its people.”
Al Gore on UN Paris pact in 2015: “Years from now, our grandchildren will reflect on humanity’s moral courage to solve the climate crisis and they will look to December 12, 2015, as the day when the community of nations finally made the decision to act,” Gore said.

“We saved the planet,” House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) declared Thursday.
Pelosi made the claim at her weekly press briefing, touting the passage of Democrats’ $360 billion Inflation Reduction Act:
“And we saved the planet. We’re saving the planet with record $360 billion to save the planet, generating jobs and cleaner air and cleaner water and jobs and security for our country.”
…
“But I’m not walking away from $360 billion in support for saving the planet for our children and, again, lower prescription drug prices for our families.”

Pelosi has had her heart set on planet-saving for more quite some time. Back in 2008, a year and a half after taking power as speaker of the House, Pelosi announced her intention as she staunchly rejected Republicans’ efforts to make America more energy independent.
“I’m trying to save the planet; I’m trying to save the planet,” Pelosi insisted, as Politico reported at the time:
“With fewer than 20 legislative days before the new fiscal year begins Oct. 1, the entire appropriations process has largely ground to a halt because of the ham-handed fighting that followed Republican attempts to lift the moratorium on offshore oil and gas exploration. And after promising fairness and open debate, Pelosi has resorted to hard-nosed parliamentary devices that effectively bar any chance for Republicans to offer policy alternatives.
“I’m trying to save the planet; I’m trying to save the planet,” she says impatiently when questioned. ‘I will not have this debate trivialized by their excuse for their failed policy’.”

We have also heard these premature alleged climate-solving declarations before. See:
Flashback: 2015: World leaders hail ‘historic’ Paris climate deal as ‘major leap for mankind’ –
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon: “History will remember this day,” Ban Ki-moon said after the pact was gaveled through to thunderous applause. “The Paris agreement on climate change is a monumental success for the planet and its people.”
Al Gore on UN Paris pact in 2015: “Years from now, our grandchildren will reflect on humanity’s moral courage to solve the climate crisis and they will look to December 12, 2015, as the day when the community of nations finally made the decision to act,” Gore said.
The Washington Post in 2015 reported on the final passage of the Paris pact: ‘Cheers echoed up and down the tent city where thousands of journalists, activists and business leaders awaited news of the deal, which was sealed during the final 48 hours of nearly non-stop talks.”
WaPo reported: President Obama, in an appearance at the White House, hailed the agreement as a “turning point for the world,” adding, “We came together around the strong agreement the world needed. Together we’ve shown what’s possible when the world stands as one.”
Secretary of State John F. Kerry said after the accord was announced: “This is a tremendous victory for all of our citizens–not for any one country or bloc, but a victory for all of the planet, and for future generations.” “The world has come together behind an agreement that will empower us to chart a new path for our planet: a smart and responsible path, a sustainable path.”
Economist Lord Stern added: “This is a historic moment, not just for us but for our children, our grandchildren and future generations. The Paris agreement is a turning point in the world’s fight against unmanaged climate change which threatens prosperity.
Former French president, François Hollande, said: “This is a major leap for mankind.”
Fmr. British prime minister, David Cameron, also welcomed the deal, praising those involved for showing what ambition and perseverance could do. “We’ve secured our planet for many, many generations to come – and there is nothing more important than that,” he said.
French foreign minister, Laurent Fabius: “History is coming, in fact, history is here,” he said. “On 12 December 2015, we can have a historic day, a major date to go down in the history of mankind. The date can become a message of life.”

Government advancing their own interests is why they continue this farce repeatedly while the lazy masses continue to allow themselves to be deceived and lied too about it too easily which is why such morons who come here and elsewhere make incredibly ignorant and stupid statements supporting their warmist/alarmist cult nonsense.
So much fear over a trace gas with a trace IR absorption range with a trace warm forcing effect is a sad phenomenon.
Being literate and rational is necessary to protect themselves from those who try to brainwash you.
To you last point. Then we have to take back our public schools and hold our Institution of Higher learning to some basic standards in advanced education. The goals and objectives of Teachers and Professors have to be spelled out. Their job is to educate not indoctrinate. The latter must be met with complete dismissal tenure or no.
WHEW…Biden/Pelosi solved the Climate Crisis. So what will the WaPo and Grauniad write about now that the crisis is officially over?
Time for the Mann to get a real job…I hear the Circus needs a new clown.
John Kerry could get a job with the Addams Family Reboot.
Nancy Legosi could star in the Bride of Dracula
Dracula is not blind, nor is he stupid !
Bryan A: “Time for the Mann to get a real job…I hear the Circus needs a new clown.”
-just

Nahhh… There are just too many Climate Clowns and not enough circuses.
Numerate also helps.
So if that $360 billion doesn’t accomplish a thing, do all of us U.S. taxpayers get a refund?
You should know by now that mere failure is never sufficient reason to end a government program. Instead, failure is proof that the program needs to be bigger.
Yes. She might as well celebrate the success of homelessness programs in her district.
Pelosi is really the most awful kind of human being, she should have been jailed years ago.
The city (taxpayers) paid someone to paint the wall shown in the video. Lipstick on pigs comes to mind.
US taxpayers have already received a 33 trillion dollar refund wholly in the amount of deficit spending. That is the amount of money spent so far that does not exist. How and where that value will suddenly pop into existence in future years remains the mystery. All debts must be monetized at some point. Government policy will not allow it to be mined or manufactured, so it looks as if permanent inflation is the only solution that is left.
The world has gone mad because the Central Authoritarian Wealth holders have stolen our money by threatening us with imaginary hobgoblins and using our education system to convince us the monster under the bed is real. The Real Crime however, the unforgivable sin, is not the spending or the power grab by the central authoritarians but the criminal brainwashing of our children. Kids who not only believe their life will end with the collapse of Planet Earth but have been indoctrinated to believe that they can go out of this life a different gender than how they came into it.
Bill, could only give one uptick, but worth many more.
Quote:”and using our education system to convince us the monster
Yes yes yes – that system is now dominated not by schools that teach stuff that is soooo oversimplified as to be wrong (e.g. CO2 and global greening)
The ‘education system is now the main stream media, all news outlets and not least, the entire internet
Quote:”the criminal brainwashing of our children
Qualified yes, as I said about oversimplifiaction in the schooling of young people.
But those kids are actually being poisoned.
Consider a kid born.delivered by Caesarian Section, as huge numbers are because its a ‘Nice Little Earner’ for hospitals.
Quote:”…. power grab by the….
Yes it is a power grab but why?
Why: Is because those wanting the power are (rankly) paranoid. Each and every one individually is constantly in a fairly deep state of chemical depression and only ever have One Thing on their minds – “Where & when is my next facefull of sugar coming from
They cannot think clearly or quickly, their memory;s are all completely shot and thus, they cannot handle ‘surprise‘ or ‘change‘
So how those who get into any sort of Power Position is to use that power to arrest or stop ‘changes‘ and ‘surprises‘
Please everyone, do really really look in a mirror and think about that one – it may be happening closer to home than you ever imagined
Then at the other end of the age range, misguided and ‘lied to’ folks like Pelosi, imagine they personally will Save The Planet by eating plants instead of animals.
At the time of life when they need food that is ultra energy (and nutrient) dense. sigh
The important nutrient being any one or more of the family of B Vitamins.
Trufax: Joe Biden is massively deficient in Vitamin B12
And and and, beware here people, so is everybody who drinks any amount of alcohol.
Oh hi Boris, how’s retirement suiting you?
everything in this world is now wrong, or especially, everybody is now wrong.
And the above list is where it came from and how it happened.
Wow, it’s like, every time a useless “agreement” is made, the world is saved, at least for a few years, even without the agreement actually being followed! They should agree to these things as often as they like, they clearly must be making a difference.
The point is to make it look like legislators are actually doing something constructive and therefore deserve to be re-elected. Most voters are busy struggling to swim upstream to spawn and quickly forget how ineffective the legislation actually was.
It’s effects on inflation will not be soon forgotten…
Schizophrenia is the game plan to ensure the energy crisis won’t be solved.
Granholm & the EU told energy companies to increase output short-term but
then would shut them down/not need them in 5-10 yrs. Pelosi only adds to
the schizophrenic stupidity!

The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) won’t reduce inflation.
The hundreds of billions of climate spending in it won’t impact the climate.
Dems celebrate their IRA ‘victory’ weeks before being swept out of Congressional majorities because of inflation, recession, and open borders.
Sounds about right for the Biden administration and the Pelosi/Schumer Congress. The only thing Obama got right was his observation, “Don’t underestimate Biden’s ability to screw things up.” The only thing Biden didn’t screw up was his statement (paraphrased): “We have put together the most inclusive and comprehensive election fraud program in history”.
I have not heard it called the Inflation Induction Act, but someone must have thought of it before me.
Rud, I hope you are right, but the Supremes may have scuppered the Red Tsunami with Dobbs. Plus, inflation is over, and we have no recession. (\sarc needed?)
The most recent poll that I have seen puts abortion as 7th in the list of priorities.
The only people who care about abortion are the hard core liberals, and they would never have voted Republican in the first place.
Democrats are experts at changing the meaning of words. The Kabul fiasco was a “success”, and several hundred unarmed protesters entering the Capitol was an “insurrection”.
Unarmed and without any sort of hierarchical command structure to carry out the many steps of any successful insurrection. It is simply another example of Dem’s attempting to influence people’s feelings by redefining a pejorative word.
The IRA is well known for blowing things up….
The IRA doesn’t reduce temperatures. The IRA doesn’t reduce inflation. And, in spite of the hype by the left that they are making the rich pay their fair share, it doesn’t do that either.
For those making over $1 million, their tax bill, which is over $900 Billion now, goes up by only $17 billion in 2023, up by only $5 billion in 2025 and up by only $2 billion in 2027. It’s so minuscule in 2029 and 2031 that it’s not worth mentioning.
It did accomplish one thing. It conned the leftwing extremists one more time. The most gullible and economic illiterate folks on the planet have been had one more time.
This is the analysis by the Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation. The impact or lack thereof on taxes of the rich will never be discussed by the media. Why? Because they are shills for the left.
https://www.finance.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/jct_distributional_effects_inflation_reduction_act.pdf
Conning without confronting the leftwing eco-extremists only feeds the cancerous insanity. Companies and fund managers worrying about their carbon emissions, public witch-hunts against anyone, like the World Bank, supporting fossil fuel development, city officials not permitting gas hookups for new housing as though there was some green alternative available – the cult-like brainwashing or programming has permeated all of society. In another decade or 2, free and rational people might prefer to live in China!
More buzzwords for the masses to make them believe something is actually being accomplished.
It’s getting colder – fast – and now the game of endurance begins in earnest
I’ll celebrate in the spring
It’s getting colder – fast
In the Northern Hemisphere we call this fall.
The name ‘fall’ was never more appropriate than it is today. It is an uncomfortable fact due to political incompetence and down right criminal behaviour, this fall may live up to its name like never before.
As much as the Great Reset’s already destroyed the German economy &
is setting up the rest of the West for a stagflationary economy (at best)
a la the late 1970’s- my real concern is that these God-complex afflicted
jerks won’t quit until they rule the West after having ruined it, too.
Ida Auken (WEF) wrote a fantastical article describing what the future
would be like in 2030. What made it dangerous is that she cited no social
unrest & that city leaders would let others live outside their control-
two behaviors that will never occur- whether it’s 2030 or 2330! Sounds
too much like religious cult material!
Yuval Noah Harari (WEF) thinks we should invest 2% of global GDP ($2T)
in their BeeEss because they claim CC will cost the world 18% ($18T)
of its GDP. Along with that, he sees people as unneeded- which usually
leads to that eventually becoming a problem needing a solution, too.
The Elite’s God-complex is the same that afflicted the nobility- they’re
the brightest & most virtuous & most deserving of their talents so they
can’t be wrong. Since there is no reason to even look for faults, they
can be very blatantly hypocritical & very wrong. That’s the attitude
I’ve seen for the past 20 yrs & it isn’t getting better despite the number
of times they’ve been wrong & failed horrendously in the past.

It is really scary living in a world run by crazy people who think 0.2°C warning per DECADE is rapid warming that will end us all. Emergency, emergency – we have to act right NOW or we’ll all be dead in hundred years! Hurry! Do something right before you have a chance to think!!!!
At least they aren’t actually killing all the virgins and first born, just attempting an alchemical conversion to mindless drones.
for now
The Courier Mail (Brisbane, Australia) yesterday on this week’s weather in Oz includes
“The chilly Australian Capital Territory is forecast to cop a deluge of up to 20mm on Tuesday with showers forecast to linger during the week.”

Maybe that journalist had high octane cornflakes for breakfast?
A profoundly stupid person…
I wish Morano would hire an editor
His disjointed repetitive posts can be annoying to read
It’s like my ADHD daughter creates his posts.
The information gets lost
More and more of these crappy articles, which repeat the same content two and three times, are appearing on WUWT. It is obnoxious and definitely off-putting.
Well it’s important to note the tripping points.
the double posting, however, just put us back on the path to immolation
Any government, especially one led by Biden, needs to have a bogeyman with which to frighten the populace – one which they promise they can slay, given enough time and money (preferably, money moved into their own accounts through such things as insider trading – now, to be known as Pelosi-bonds) and one they really, realy will slay in your lifetime – or their Congresional life-time, whichever is the most profitable.
Cynical? Moi?
There is no chance whatever that the 2ppm p.a. Increase in atmospheric CO2 will be checked.

Chiefio looks at the US economic scene
https://chiefio.wordpress.com/2022/09/24/one-is-interesting-2-is-a-problem/
Looking at the 20th Century, I think Chiefio is optimistic. The West’s destruction of its energy industry is unprecedented and therefore unable to be factored into economic projections. That, and governmental confusion means markets can’t work rationally. It will take a long, rough time to sort things out.
No one can screw things up more and brag about it more than the liberal elected elite.
I’m fairly sure most of them weren’t actually elected, they were installed. You know, like toilets.
Only cultists who never travel the world try to “save the planet”. You can tell they are cultists because they always agree with themselves 100%.
“I just don’t think it’s well appreciated by the average consumer – the very extreme nature of this transformation.”
Oh they will sooner or later-
Grid renewal generates billion-dollar shock as costs of energy transition become clear – ABC News
I totally accept that you have saved the planet.
We need do nothing else because it’s been saved already.
Californy believes in more saving-
California gas is ‘out of whack’ — nearly $2 more than national average. Who’s to blame? (msn.com)
Completely agree with Nancy. Anything to get rid if her. So: Well done! Enjoy your “pension”.
Pelosi, top vender of serpentine lubricants and chief wizard of Ooze has gone further even than Satan would dare. Her deceptive prose is breathtaking. The only excuse she could have for her behaviour is abject stupidity.
The planet will live on even if we totally destroy ourselves, so saying that we saved the planet is a very high amount of hubris.
Current “Save The Planet” platitudes, programs, and taxes, to me, are like our politicians telling us that they can solve homelessness with their new 10 year plan that they implemented 20 years ago and has only resulted in higher taxes, more homelessness, and more people in less than ideal situations.
However, telling people what they are doing wrong, passing laws to force them to do it right, banning words, thoughts, actions, activity, products, etc. and introducing all sorts of crippling taxes does seem to be a good way to gain control over the people, not necessarily the planet.
