The climate cult’s war on American freedom

By CFACT Ed

From Restoration News: Since the 1960s, climate alarmists have predicted the end of the world — and they’ve been wrong every single time. Craig Rucker, co-founder of CFACT, has spent four decades on the front lines fighting back, attending 30 UN climate conferences, and watching the green movement metastasize from junk science into a full-blown religion. He joins Restoration Spotlight to expose the anti-human agenda hiding behind the data.

This is a war between those who believe in evolution and those who think the biosphere would be stagnant if humans weren’t here. We are not pollution, we are the result of evolution, and we cause the rest of the planet to evolve, as well.

It is also a quasi-religious teleological (I don’t mean theological) belief that before industrialization the biosphere in terms of the atmosphere temperature precipitation as well as many other ecological conditions were optimal – the way they were meant to be – rather than purely arbitrary.

That any superimposed human influence must be intrinsically, by its very nature, harmful.

Nature has 3 types of ingredients…
Animal
Vegetable
Mineral
We aren’t Rocks
We aren’t Carrots
We are Animals…Natural Beings…evolved in and by Nature with a symbiotic relationship to the Vegetable portion of the planet. (And the remainder of the Animal portion as well)

If beaver dams are natural, then so is the Hoover Dam. Both created by creatures evolved on this planet, using resources they find and make use of.

the way they were meant to be

And who “meant” for them to be that way? Hmmm….

That is an all too common outcome with female bosses, they get to a position where they can influence the hiring and firing, and creation of new positions, and proceed to fill the organisation with their friends and cronies.

Oh my god, you are right! I can see it now! Trump is actually a woman. A whole cabinet of (DUI) friends and cronies! Her emotional outbreaks. The inability to push through her decissions and then blame everyone else. The backpaddling at the slightest resistance. The make-up! The couchophile Eye-liner (Maybe secretly Drag-Queen????!!!!!) VP. My god, it was there all along. I think she should show her birth certificate!!!!

Or maybe you just described how hiring was done in the past by mostly male bosses and why something like DEI is needed.

Sometimes it is difficult to discern whether the moronic posts like yours are from stupid people, the “woke again” indoctrinated government worshippers or paid propagandist trolls.

Didn’t earn it fits neatly with the public circus and the sheltered workshops but where’s all the push for equal inputs with hard yakka jobs like building trades? Women plumbers with their pretty nails down drains or fakeup flushing drywall? That’ll be the day and you need a lesson from Jordan Petersen as if you wokies could even tell the difference between men and women nowadays.

That’s the story of the state government of Wokeachusetts. The lesbian governor Healey has appointed mostly women to all state government jobs- especially at the leadership level.

Not to get too far off topic, but years ago before all the woke stuff really went crazy I used to tell people that I was a lesbian in a man’s body.

At the time I was thinking about how to check off as many intersectionality boxes to get the highest victimhood score. That was so long ago I think it was still only LGB. They hadn’t added the Ts, Qs, +’s or any other victimhood identity category at that time. Don’t even think BIPOC was a thing back then. Ah, how things have changed.

That is a rather misogynistic statement. All too common. Sheesh. Certainly there are bosses of both sexes, not just female, that exhibit that trait. And if it were all too common, we would see lots of media coverage of the trials.

Anyone who believes “we are the pollution” obviously believes Humans started as Pond Scum and haven’t progressed very far above that phase of development. Likely from their close association with Democrats and constant exposure to Socialist Liberal ideas and Liberal Hate Speech.

“Hint: They don’t really care about whales. Or humans.”

Sounds like you are talking about Greenpeace, Club of Rome, WWF etc

DeSmog is partners to and is funded by SMF (Sustainable Markets Foundations)
Sustainable Markets Foundation (SMF) – InfluenceWatch

SMF has received funding from several environmentalist foundations including the MacArthur Foundation, Rockefeller Family Fund, Tides Foundation, and TomKat Charitable Trust.

ie slimy green money !!

The organization serves as a fiscal sponsor, providing grants as well as administrative support to other non-profits like 350.org Frack Action, DeSmog.

According to its 2023 tax returns, SMF reported a revenue of $39,210,071, expenses at $30,565,908, and total assets at $44,167,374. 

Not bad for a “non-profit” 

The climate trough sure is DEEP and supports many, many piggies.

And the funding for climate scam groups is many, many times more than the small amount of funds the realists have.

“DeSmog is a global climate investigations outlet that since its founding in 2006 has published agenda-setting journalism and research on the people, companies and organizations blocking action to protect climate and nature.”

“We expose disinformation efforts that harm climate goals and undermine democracy. We work collaboratively with other media and organizations to get our reporting, research and analysis out to the widest, most influential audiences.”

So, this is one of your primary sources of propaganda?

From your first link: [which has a terrible Cookie Policy!]
“ExxonSecrets research found that CFACT has received $582,000 from ExxonMobil since 1998.”
[And none since 2017]
Since 1992 Koch has given $29,000. [Yes, thousand]

From Gemini AI: [Copilot AI agreed but had WWF = $508 million]
In the year 2024 CFACT’s budget was ~ $2.9 million. [yes, less than three million].
As references: World Wildlife Fund ~ $360 million, Sierra Club ~ $169 million,
Audubon Society ~ $149 million and National Rersources Defense Council ~ $204 million .
David vs (multiple) Goliaths. I wonder how much “dark money” the Golaiths have received from China & Russia backed entities (to further hobble the US economy)?
