It’s the climate, stupid! The increasingly discredited hypothesis that human emissions of CO2 are driving dangerous global warming underpins almost every key element of the globalist agenda. With the election of Donald Trump, that agenda now stands at an historic crossroads.
In the years to come, there are two possible futures. In one, humanity will face global totalitarian controls and a “multipolar” world order in which all roads lead to Beijing — an order that will rise from the ashes of the Western middle class and what used to be known as “Christendom” or the “Free World.” The other alternative: a reckoning of historic proportions as mankind works to untangle one of the most spectacular frauds in human history.
Gathered at the recent United Nations climate summit (the 29th annual Conference of the Parties, or COP29), governments agreed to a massive agreement including rules for a UN-led global carbon market and trillions of dollars in wealth transfers to Third World kleptocrats (see “The COP29 Deal: Carbon Markets & Trillions in Reparations”). But the whole scam is hanging by a thread. What happens in the next few months may determine which way humanity will go for decades. How that will turn out remains to be seen. But at COP29, there were clues everywhere.
On one side of the fork in the road stand U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, Argentinian President Javier Milei, and most Americans, who in polls reject the increasingly discredited man-made global-warming hypothesis. On the other side of the fork, making ever-more outrageous demands and pronouncements, is a massive coalition with vested interests. This includes the UN, Third World kleptocrats, megabanks, Big Oil, socialists, communists, Islamists, and their legions of tax-funded “useful idiots” who believe taxing and regulating the gas of life will improve Earth’s temperature and lower sea levels.
Until November 5, 2024, it seemed as if the acceleration and ultimate success of the UN’s climate agenda was practically inevitable. Trillions of dollars were in the pipeline. Governments worldwide largely agreed on the basics. Businesses, very much including Big Oil, were all jumping on the bandwagon. Profiteers, kleptocrats, cronies, AstroTurf groups, and countless others were lining up for a piece of the pie.
But then, suddenly, much to the dismay of the Deep State and climate alarmists everywhere, voters reelected Trump. To say it threw the COP29 into disarray just days before its formal start would be an understatement. The climate movement alternated between moaning about the inevitable destruction of the planet, and vowing the preservation of the UN’s climate process and resistance to Trump at all costs.
During his first term, Trump was a wrecking ball for climate alarmism, and for globalism more broadly. For instance, he famously ended U.S. involvement in the controversial UN Paris Agreement. Under the scheme, the U.S. government pledged to decimate its economy while Communist China vowed to keep building coal-fired power plants until at least 2030. His second term is likely to be even more brutal to the climate agenda.
Trump took aim at climate alarmism more than a decade ago, calling it a hoax to benefit the Chinese Communist Party. Since leaving office, though, he has declared that the climate “hoax” will be a top target. “One of the most urgent tasks, not only for our movement, but for our country, is to decisively defeat the climate hysteria hoax,” he argued during a 2022 talk in Florida in which he lambasted green energy and the alarmism surrounding CO2.
The president-elect also ridiculed sea-level prognostications. “The ocean is rising. It’s rising. It’s coming. It’s … within 300 years. We’re going to gain one-hundredth of an inch in the ocean and have a little more beachfront property,” Trump said, making fun of wind turbines, solar panels, and other costly and inefficient green energy schemes. “It’s going to be a terrible thing. No, it’s a hoax. The whole thing is a total hoax…. It’s so crazy.”
He hit the fraud hard on the campaign trail, too. “We don’t have a global warming problem; they don’t use that term anymore,” he said. “At certain points it starts to cool a little bit … so they changed it. You know what the term is? Climate change. This way, if it gets warmer … if it gets cooler, if it rains, if snow comes down in the middle of the summer, it’s climate change…. And we’ve spent trillions and trillions of dollars … putting windmills all over these magnificent plains, and fields, and valleys, and oceans…. It’s all a big hoax.”
Many of Trump’s top officials have echoed those concerns. His former climate advisor, Dr. William Happer, a physicist from Princeton, told The New American that efforts to control CO2 are reminiscent of Soviet-style absurdities. “CO2 is actually good for the world, and people should be encouraged to make more of it,” he said in an interview last year.
Energy secretary nominee Chris Wright agrees with Trump. Among other concerns, he has pointed out the dishonesty of alarmists who falsely claim that hurricanes, floods, droughts, and other natural disasters are increasing in frequency. Wright, a businessman in oil and gas, consistently ridicules green energy schemes, too.
