Live at 1 pm Eastern, 10 am Pacific: Rhetoric and Reality – The Politics of Climate Change

Heartland Icon

The Heartland Institute

The whole world seems to be nervously awaiting the outcome of the presidential election, which is just 10 days away — perhaps no group more than the global climate cabal. Climate and energy policy is a topic barely mentioned on the campaign trail, and in the debates. But voters are going to decide in November whether America keeps spending billions to be a “leader” in global climate action schemes or pull out of the scam altogether … and maybe for good.

On Episode #132 of The Climate Realism Show our guest is Steve Milloy, publisher of Junkscience.com, senior fellow at the Energy & Environment Legal Institute, and member of the EPA transition team for the first Trump presidency. The Biden-Harris administration has pledged billions of US tax dollars for “global climate action.” Would it be too late to get a refund on that if Trump is elected? Would a second Trump administration get even more aggressive with producing oil and gas? Could he end the taxpayer-subsidized and failing “green energy” industry with the stroke of a pen? And what will the next four years of climate policy look like if Kamala Harris wins?

Heartland’s Anthony Watts, H. Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely will also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the week and take your questions in the chat. Join us LIVE at 1 p.m. ET this Friday and every Friday.

This show will be archived in WUWT Climate TV, a collection of over six hundred videos, featuring new interviews and analysis, and covering dozens of media sources discussing, debating and analyzing the latest in climate science, climate politics, and energy policy, including topics concerning temperature, sea level, polar bears, ocean acidification, extreme weather, censorship, wild fires, and more.

So, the intersection of politics and climate change in America is about to play out again. The reason it’s not a major point in the candidates’ stumping is it’s not a major point for the voters. It’s only a major point for the liberal MSM owned by the Marxists so that should be a clue.

Not just MSM.

Yes, amongst Joe and Joanne Public, the “climate emergency / crisis” just doesn’t really rank.

They hear and read about it continually in the msm, but they’re not actually seeing it themselves.

And therein lies the problem for the climate alarmists.

The public is constantly being TOLD that every bad weather event is due to CC, but I think they are wise to the alarmists, and their bold power and money grab.

Harris has made a noticeable shift to center for her campaigning even though she initiated

most expensive U.S. climate policy in history into law when she cast the deciding vote for President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act in 2022.

See Bjorn Lomborg, WSJ today:

Harris Stops Talking About Climate Change

As the high costs of green policies hit, it’s becoming a lose-lose issue for politicians of the left.

Bjorn writes some smart things. If KH loses, AGW agenda feels very marginal.
I’m not sure what it means for AGW if she wins while ignoring it.

Harris says stuff to fool voters she’s shifted to center. Yet when the View asked her if she would have changed anything Brandon had done, she replied she could think think of anything.
She lies.
(Personally, I think her “campaign from the basement” strategy is depending on those who count the votes.)

Preparing For The Six Swing State Steal in 2024

FRIDAY, OCT 25, 2024
Authored by Jeff Carlson & Hans Mahncke via Truth Over News
.
Georgia, the site of massive election misinformation, questionable results, incomplete audits and a mysterious come-from-behind, razor-thin win by Joe Biden in 2020, appears to be at it again.
Or, we should say Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is at it again.
.
.
Six Swing States are Co-ordinating Election Activities
But there’s also something larger at play as well. It seems that the coordination extends beyond Raffensperger and Georgia to include other Secretaries of State in crucial battleground states.
Michigan’s SoS Jocelyn Benson gave up this information during an appearance on the MeidasTouch podcast that was uncovered by Kylie Kremer.
Benson was asked about her work as a “part of a group of Secretaries of State” that are coordinating across state lines.Benson’s response was eye-opening:

One of the things we saw in 2020 was that particularly in battleground states, we are all battling a common adversary, a really nationally coordinated effort to undermine the will of the people, both before, during and after election day. 

We learned to semi-coordinate with each other in 2020

We would talk regularly, but there was really no way for us – the six of us, in those six battleground states,Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, Nevada and Georgia – to constantly both compare notes and also say, OK, how are we going to respond to this nationally coordinated effort with a coordinated response?

Now we have that. We actually spent all of 2022 working to build that team in these six states.

You’ve got strong voices now in Arizona and Nevada and Georgia, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania and in Michigan.

And we’re all talking.

We’re all working together.

We’re all very clear-eyed about what we’re up against.

Because the battle over the future of our democracy isn’t going to be in the post-election process only.

It starts now and it starts with how various court battles are playing out and we’ll see all of us getting hit with the same types of sham lawsuits that are PR campaigns masquerading as lawsuits.

So as we work together, as we talk to each other, we can develop common strategies and be much more powerful and united as a team – even across party lines – then we would be if we were just fighting these battles in our respective states by ourselves.

.
There we have it. A group of powerful Secretaries of State are coordinating (across state lines) in battleground states to work together in coordinated fashion.
Working to push back on challenges to election certification.
.
Making matters worse, Benson is the same SoS who famously proclaimed “if someone were to violate the law and not certify the election at the local level, we will come for you!
So any local certifier who’s thinking of skirting the law and not certifying the vote, don’t even think about it, because we’ll get you.”
.
Benson’s declaration is actually extraordinarily similar to the language in Raffensperger’s email and the description listed on Raffensperger’s donation website:
.

“Election Defense Fund, Inc will identify local election officials who are most likely to not certify or otherwise attempt to interfere with results; educate the public to remind election officials of their duty to follow the law and the potential consequences of not doing so;  support lawsuits that seek to force election officials to uphold their legal duties, and defend election officials who are harassed, targeted, or sued for doing their lawful duties.”

.
We were fairly involved in reporting during the aftermath of Georgia’s 2020 election (articles herehereherehere & here) and can decisively state, we don’t trust Raffensperger for a single second.
As we’ve said many times, we’ve long believed that something is rotten in Georgia.
But we didn’t realize the rot was being coordinated across state lines.

This may explain why Harris is hardly campaigning
In 2000, Biden was also hardly campaigning
