‘Al Gore is reduced to heckling speakers at a WEF meeting!’

 

Too much of this so "they" modified it to "climate change"

Climate Depot   . . . "Morano: “This is a bad look for the climate movement. We have never seen this in the past 20-plus years — a lower point of the climate movement than it is currently.  The entire climate agenda, within one year of Donald Trump getting to work,  has now seen 250 actions against it. Both us and globally. The climate change campaign has just been decimated. 

And I think Al Gore is the best metaphor for this. Gore, at the World Economic Forum, was reduced to heckling speakers. That’s about the simplest way of putting it.

And by the way, Al Gore went to COP 30 in Brazil. I was at that as well. He ended up spending his time attacking Bill Gates because Gates is now saying climate isn’t a catastrophe. Gore said Bill Gates was acting ‘silly.’ So you got Al Gore, attacking Bill Gates, and Al Gore now heckling the World Economic Forum. This is a bad look for the climate movement.” . . .

As always, it’s both. Depending on whatever bad weather is happening at the moment. If it’s unusually cold, it’s because of climate change. Unusually sunny or cloudy? Climate change. Every big hurricane is now blamed on climate change, but so are mild hurricane seasons. Wildfires? Climate change. Mudslides? Climate change. High humidity? Climate change. Dry air? You got it."

 . . . "In this space a few years ago, we noted that climate “experts” were blaming the rise of water levels in the Great Lakes on climate change, even though in previous years they were predicting that global warming would most definitely cause lake levels to recede.

"What changed? Nothing, other than the water levels of the Great Lakes at the time these “experts” were making their claims. (See: “Great Lakes Reveal a Fatal Flaw in Climate Change ‘Science’.”)

"Whatever this is, it ain’t science. It’s more like a pagan religion, where everything bad that happens is because we’ve upset the climate gods. And if you don’t agree, you’re a heretic."

"Over the weekend, USA Today reported that northeast states were experiencing an unusual winter problem – a shortage of salt.

"It seems that there have been so many snowstorms this winter that even states like Michigan and Vermont – which are quite accustomed to them –  are running short of the snow-melting chemical.

“An official from Monroe County, [Michigan] located between Detroit and Ohio, told the news station that local crews used more salt in December than in the past four Decembers combined,” says USA Today.

"But what’s curiously missing from this and other accounts of the winter storm is the obligatory mention of “climate change” as the cause. It seems that bad winter weather is just weather. Whereas bad summer weather is always – always – and prominently blamed on our burning fossil fuels.

That’s not to say that no story over the weekend brought up “climate change.” But most of those were in response to President Donald Trump’s post on Truth Social: Record Cold Wave expected to hit 40 States. Rarely seen anything like it before. Could the Environmental Insurrectionists please explain — WHATEVER HAPPENED TO GLOBAL WARMING???   Donald J. Trump | Truth Social

"And these stories were meant only to debunk Trump’s claim.

‘Sparkle Beach Ken’ Is Too Kind To Gavin Newsom

 The Federalist

"The California governor correctly figures that if he stays on offense, his own dismal record will be ignored — even if that offense is odd." 

Broc Smith

"Being Gavin Newsom means never having to explain yourself  — being able to hurl accusations and nonsensical claims with nary a follow-up from the press. Newsom’s foray into the World Economic Forum at Davos, Switzerland, is a case in point.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent took notice of Newsom loitering around Davos, quipping, “Governor Newsom, who strikes me as Patrick Bateman meets Sparkle Beach Ken, may be the only Californian who knows less about economics than Kamala Harris.” Bessent then noted that Newsom was, “here this week with his billionaire sugar daddy, Alex Soros.”

"But Newsom still made a splash.

" 'Trump,” he weirdly enthused, “Is a T-Rex; you mate with him or he devours you.”

"The California governor, widely expected to run for president in 2028 after he terms out of office this year, correctly figures that if he stays on offense, his own dismal record will be ignored — even if that offense is odd, off-putting, or oblique.

"And what a record it is, from manageable fires that burst into catastrophic wildfires due to bad policy (blamed on climate change, of course) to soaring homelessness to scores of billions of dollars in stolen government assistance, Newsom might have a lot to atone for — if the media-industrial complex decided to do their jobs.

Telling Whoppers

"Instead, Newsom makes claims that are rarely fact-checked, like his last whopper-filled State-of-the-State address on Jan. 8, in which the governor asserted, “We are not retreating. We are a beacon. This state is providing a different narrative. An operational model, a policy blueprint for others to follow.”

"In one sense, Newsom is right — California is the epitome of the progressive left operational model, the blueprint for others to follow — and, home to San Francisco and UC Berkeley, the one place where democratic socialism might first work.

"But as former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Margaret Thatcher noted, “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.” And the Constitution prohibits states from printing money, reserving that for the federal government.

"Unfortunately for Newsom, California is looking at an $18 billion deficit, $5 billion more than last June, “despite improvements in revenue,” according to the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst’s Office, which went on to note in its November fiscal outlook report that, “we estimate costs in other programs to be about $6 billion higher than anticipated… (with) structural deficits [growing] to about $35 billion annually due to spending growth continuing to outstrip revenue growth.” . . . More...

Jennifer Welch, Irrational, Incensed, And Dangerous, Is The Democrat Party

 The Federalist  

"Democrats want retribution and are increasingly uninterested in disguising it with any form of pretense about laws or morality"

"The Democrat who people most need to be paying attention to right now isn’t in Congress and isn’t expected to run for president. It’s Jennifer Welch, the gaunt, puckered up nag who hosts a popular podcast and who now proudly displays on a regular basis just how dark and decayed the left’s collective soul has become.

It’s been fairly obvious for some time that the chief aims of the Democrat Party are to crush the independent American middle class and eliminate the nuclear family. They hate both with equal passion. But until recently, generally speaking, those goals were at least disguised with lies about “climate change” and “equity” and “our democracy.” Now it’s common for Democrats to drop all pretense and simply express their hatred outright for anyone with a different political opinion.

That’s Welch, exhibiting all the distilled irrationality and sulfuric acid contained in the average modern Democrat, but without any effort to conceal or pass it off as some intense form of empathy.

On a recent episode of her podcast with former CNN actress Jim Acosta, Welch spoke for all Democrats as to what the party wants, should it take power in Congress after this year’s midterm elections. “The blue tsunami means that Congress is going to haul Elon Musk, ‘Big Balls,’ and a bunch of other people’s ass in front and say, ‘What crimes did you commit?’ and it’s going to get really serious and the same with Trump,” she said. As a reminder, “Big Balls” is the nickname of a 20-something enlisted by Musk’s D.O.G.E. effort to shrink the federal bureaucracy, and his offenses to-date include asking government employees to describe their day-to-day work life and also interfering in the attempted assault of a female pedestrian being jumped by thugs, resulting in his own hospitalization."     More...

 Huge Development Out of Davos As Trump Announces 'Framework' for Greenland Deal, Will Drop Euro Tariffs  

"We know news was likely to come out of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, this week, and it certainly has. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent absolutely roasted California Gov. Gavin Newsom, hilariously comparing him to a Ken doll, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told the elites that globalist orthodoxy was a failure, and Donald Trump vowed to make homeownership great again."

"But on Wednesday afternoon, even bigger news dropped: the president announced that he had negotiated the “framework” of a deal regarding Greenland, the autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark that he wants the U.S. to control to counter Russia and China. Because of the breakthrough, he also announced that he will not go through with tariffs on European countries that were scheduled to go into effect in early February.

"The president took to his favorite social media site, Truth Social, for the announcement:

. . . "The deal isn’t just about Greenland — it’s about the whole Arctic Region, Trump wrote: Based upon a very productive meeting that I have had with the Secretary General of NATO, Mark Rutte, we have formed the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland and, in fact, the entire Arctic Region.This solution, if consummated, will be a great one for the United States of America, and all NATO Nations.   

"When discussing Greenland, only properly oriented maps should be used.Any media that shows a traditional map implying that Russia and China are on the opposite side of the planet are purposefully misguiding the American public.Every sailor and aviator understands Great Circle Navigation - showing anything else is a lie."

•    Within the European Union, Giorgia Meloni has always taken a pro-Atlantic stance, accentuated by the Italian prime minister’s close relationship with Donald Trump. Since the Greenland crisis erupted, Meloni has insisted on the need not to sever ties with the American president, which has angered the Italian opposition, who accuse her of betraying Italy and Europe.

UN to Censor All Criticism of the Climate Agenda as Whistleblower Exposes it as a Total Scam

Gatestone Institute  

"The United Nations is trying to control what people can hear, read and think about climate change just when social media companies like Meta are reversing their years-long policy of 'fact-checking,' climate change policy debate—which Meta admits resulted in censorship."

"The UN is shutting down criticism of the ongoing climate scam: At the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30), held in Brazil in November 2025, several states endorsed the UN's "Declaration on Information Integrity on Climate Change, an initiative recognizing and trying to combat the rise in climate disinformation in media and politics."

"The UN declaration is professedly a pledge to "fight false information" about climate change.

" 'In the era of disinformation, obscurantists reject not only scientific evidence but also the progress of multilateralism," said Brazil's President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in his opening address at the conference. "They control algorithms, sow hatred, and spread fear. They attack institutions, science, and universities. It is time to once again defeat the denialists."

"Get it? Those who disagree with the UN and WEF agendas on climate change, regardless of their scientific credentials, are "denialists" who must be "defeated."

"The declaration has already been endorsed by 13 countries: Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Spain, Sweden, Uruguay, and the Netherlands.

Who Funds the Groups Harassing ICE Agents in Minnesota?

The Left's Premier Foundations and Dark Money Networks Have Given Millions, Records Show.

Professionally printed signs and videos

"When the Trump administration sent some 2,000 immigration agents to the Twin Cities area, they were met by activists who trailed their movements and harassed them outside their hotels. The activists are members of radical groups that together have received millions of dollars from the Left's premier foundations and dark money networks, including George Soros's Open Society Foundations, the Ford Foundation, the Tides Foundation, and the Sixteen Thirty Fund, a Washington Free Beacon review found.

Click to enlarge

"At the center of the unrest is the Sunrise Movement, a left-wing group founded to fight climate change that has since directed its local chapters to fight the Trump administration. For Sunrise Twin Cities, that means tormenting ICE agents on the ground. The group holds in-person "action trainings" on how to "stop ICE & build a revolution." It also maintains a running list of the Twin Cities hotels housing ICE agents and organizes late-night "noise demonstrations" aimed at making it "impossible" for those hotels to operate.

"Sunrise is bankrolled by a who's who of deep-pocketed left-wing organizations. Open Society Foundations has sent it $2 million since 2019, according to its grant database. Half of the money supported general "social welfare activities." The Ford Foundation contributed $150,000 in 2024 and $550,000 in 2025, while the MacArthur Foundation—the 12th-largest private charity in America—gave $250,000 in 2024, according to tax filings and grant disclosures. Sunrise says it generally rejects "checks that come with expectations of input on our strategy." It also says donations go to support its local chapters with "materials, housing, technology, food, travel, training expenses, and more."

"Sunrise Twin Cities has collaborated with two other local groups to drive anti-ICE demonstrations: Unidos MN and Defend the 612.

"Unidos, an "immigrant-led, BIPOC majority, multiracial, state-wide organization," leads a "rapid response" network through its affiliate group, Monarca." . . . More here, including training methods...

40 Examples of Fake News in 2025

'For the purpose of media accountability, Just Facts has summarized 40 misleading claims spread by journalists, commentators, and so-called fact checkers during 2025.  "Each example quotes a specific media outlet, but the vast bulk of these falsehoods and half-truths were spread by multiple news sources, and some were propagated by dozens."

Beginning with: 1: Climate Change & Biodiversity Loss, 2: Climate Change & Biodiversity Loss, 3: Obamacare for Illegal Immigrants, 4: Violent Crime in Washington, D.C., 5: Enhanced Obamacare Subsidies, 6: Motive of the Minneapolis Child Killer . . .

. . . 7: Motive of Charlie Kirk’s Assassin  "CNN’s Kaitlin Collins claimed that “law enforcement hasn’t laid out a direct motive” for the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

"In fact, the official charging document recorded that Tyler James Robinson “intentionally selected Charlie Kirk because” of his “belief or perception regarding Charlie Kirk’s political expression.”

"Moreover, the charging document detailed the following facts which specify the precise nature of Robinson’s motive:

“Robinson’s mother explained that over the last year or so, Robinson had become more political and had started to lean more to the left — becoming more pro-gay and trans-rights oriented.”

"“Police interviewed Robinson’s roommate, a biological male who was involved in a romantic relationship with Robinson.”

"Robinson texted the roommate that he killed Kirk, a leading conservative, because, “I had enough of his hatred.”

" 'Each round in the rifle contained an etched inscription,” one of which says, “Hey Fascist! Catch!”   

9: Nazis & Free Speech  "Margaret Brennan of CBS News claimed that “free speech was weaponized” in Nazi Germany to “conduct a genocide.”

"In fact, free speech was censored in Nazi Germany to conduct a genocide. In the words of Hitler’s minister of propaganda, Joseph Goebbels, “National Socialism” (a.k.a Nazism) outlawed free speech to place itself “beyond the possibilities of criticism.”

"To drive that point home, Goebbels added that “the right to criticize” can “be granted only to the wiser people over the more stupid ones and never the other way around.”

10: Global Warming  "The New York Times claimed that the “burning of fossil fuels is dangerously heating the planet.”

"In fact, broad measures of human and environmental welfare related to global warming have remained stable or improved for the past 30–170 years, contrary to predictions that they would have radically degraded by now. These include but aren’t limited to: . . . More under Global Warming

The Welcome Demise of Climate Change Catastrophism

4 Catastrophic Climate Predictions That Never Came True  "Scientists and pundits seem so certain we’re headed for global collapse and their predictions can be terrifying—especially if you’re young enough not to remember the last dozen times they predicted imminent collapse and were wrong. In each case, claims of impending environmental disaster were backed by allegedly irrefutable data and policymakers were encouraged to act before it was too late."

"As the American Left finally waking up from its decades-long climate catastrophism stupor? For years, climate alarmism has reigned as political catechism: The planet is burning, and only drastic action — deindustrialization, draconian regulation, even ceasing childbearing — could forestall certain apocalypse. Now, at least some signs are emerging that both the broader public and leading liberal voices may be recoiling from the doom and gloom.

"First, recent polling shows that the intensity of climate dread is weakening. According to a July 2025 report from the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication, while a majority (69 percent) of Americans still say global warming is happening, only 60 percent say it’s “mostly human-caused”; 28 percent attribute it mostly to natural environmental changes. A similar October 2025 study from the University of Chicago’s Energy Policy Institute found that “belief in human-driven climate change declined overall” since 2017.. . .

"Ultimately, no one stands to benefit more from this incipient trend toward climate sanity than the American people themselves. In an era where optimism can be hard to come by, the professed certitude of imminent environmental apocalypse is pretty much the least helpful thing imaginable. If one is seeking to plant the seeds of hope, nothing could be worse than lecturing to the masses that one is a climate change-“denying” misanthrope if he has the temerity to take his family on an airplane for a nice vacation or — egad! — entertain thoughts of having more children." . . .

"Made you look!

"Over the last two weeks, parts of the coastal Northeast have experienced sub-freezing temperatures, well before such readings are typical.

"In contrast with the occasional 60-degree day one might experience in New York City in January, such uncharacteristically cool temperatures have failed to give rise to plaintive headlines and think pieces decrying the “new normal” of an increasingly frigid planet.

"And yet oddly warm winter days will often prompt just that — everything from interviews with young people expressing guilt over enjoying a pleasant winter’s day in Central Park (which I recall seeing in New York media several years ago), to 3,000-word essays explicating in laborious detail how a warmer world will impact (among other things) migration flows, geopolitics, and food prices.

"Whether under the cover of straight reporting or in the form of the dreaded “news analysis” increasingly popular in many publications, media outlets often cannot resist stretching an anodyne, anecdotal experience (in this example, the weather) into a tendentious line of reasoning designed to drive a predetermined narrative.

"Such ideologically infused reporting elides how the events comprising the human experience tend to sit along a bell curve of probability. To label a weather event a “hundred-year storm” is to correctly acknowledge the difference between infrequency and unprecedentedness; by contrast, citing some outlying, five standard deviations from the mean occurrence as proof of durable “change” insults one’s intelligence.

"The “news analysis” format in particular is rife with shaky extrapolations of discrete events into larger patterns of meaning. Publications offering only straight reporting and an opinion/commentary section draw sufficiently clear lines between what is provable fact (or can be reasonably inferred) on the one hand, and the opinions or conclusions which one might draw from such reporting on the other. What “news analysis” pieces — whether anecdotally derived or otherwise — do is short circuit the process by which the reader educates himself and forms an opinion; rather, it presents information — which need not even be particularly compelling, as is often the case with anecdotal experience — and instructs the audience as to how to interpret it."  . . .

Ten Years After the Paris Climate Agreement, Climatism Is Crumbling

From the political scene to the continued growth of hydrocarbon energy, the global climate consensus and the push for Net Zero is crumbling. It’s time for nations to return to sensible energy policy.

Parody: New Greta Thunberg Thermostat Scowls At You When You Turn The Heat Up

..."A backlit screen that displays the names of people who will probably

 die because you bumped it from 63º to 64º in mid-January"

"COP30, the UN climate conference, is underway in Belem, Brazil. Thousands of representatives from all over the world have journeyed to discuss how to cut carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to try to fight human-caused climate change. But ten years after the Paris Climate Agreement, the global consensus on climate change is crumbling.

"COP30 is the thirtieth “conference of the parties.” The first took place in Berlin in 1995. At COP21 in Paris in 2015, more than 190 countries signed the Paris Climate Agreement, pledging to cut emissions and to limit global warming to 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.

"About 50,000 people are attending COP30 from more than 190 nations. But key world leaders are not attending, including President Xi Jinping of China, Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India, and President Donald Trump of the U.S. Climatism, the ideology pushing for a global transition to Net Zero energy, faces a rising tide of opposition across the world.

"Two weeks before COP30, billionaire and philanthropist Bill Gates posted a memo to COP30 on his website titled “Three Tough Truths About Climate.” In it he states that “Climate change is a serious problem, but it will not be the end of civilization,” and also that “Unfortunately, the doomsday outlook is causing much of the climate community to focus too much on near-term emissions goals … ” He also said that “Our chief goal should be to prevent suffering, particularly for those in the toughest conditions who live in the world’s poorest countries.”

"This is a remarkable change of position for Mr. Gates, who has spent billions in the fight against climate change over the last two decades. In 2021, he wrote a best-selling book titled How to Avoid a Climate Disaster. His shift of emphasis away from stopping emissions to solving real world problems is a move away from climate alarmism and toward common-sense policy." . . .

"What have thirty UN climate conferences accomplished since 1995? The answer is “no measurable climate benefit.” Since 2000, the world has spent about $10 trillion on renewable energy, but hydrocarbons─coal, natural gas, and oil─still provided 87% of world energy in 2024 according to the Energy Institute."
