Biden And Kerry Get Humiliated On Earth Day, But Are Too Dumb To Realize It

Once again, it’s Earth Day. The first such day was 51 years ago, April 22, 1970.

Since that first one, Earth Day has served as an annual opportunity for sanctimonious socialist-minded apocalypticists to issue prophesies of imminent environmental doom. Here from the Competitive Enterprise Institute is a great list of some 50 or so such predictions uttered since the late 1960s, all of which have since been proven wrong. Interestingly, the ones from the time of the first Earth Day mostly concerned overpopulation, famine, and global cooling. Today, those things seem ever so quaint.

Somewhere along the line, the prophesy of a coming ice age faded away, and global warming surged forth as the much more fashionable doomsday prediction. Today, fealty to the global warming apocalypse orthodoxy is a prerequisite for admission to polite society. Our President goes around repeating the mantra that climate change is an “existential threat,” even as he signs Executive Orders and re-directs half the energies of the vast federal government to fight it.

And what better opportunity than the annual return of Earth Day for our great leaders to demonstrate their deep climate change sincerity? Thus last week we had President Biden’s personal climate emissary to the world, John Kerry, traveling to Shanghai to triumphantly welcome China on board with the official plan to “save the planet” through ending the use of fossil fuels; and today, Biden himself has followed up with his Earth Day Climate Summit, a virtual event said to be attended by leaders of some 40 or so nations, including the likes of China, India and Russia. Surely, things have now completely changed course since the evil Trump has been banished, and the world will shortly be saved by the re-invigoration of the glorious Paris Climate Agreement.

The problem of course is that China, Russia, India, and for that matter all the rest of the developing countries, don’t care a whit about the whole climate change thing, and they also know that the Paris Agreement is a total scam. For a developing country, the basic strategy reflected in Paris is to hit up the U.S. and Europe for a lot of money, while simultaneously getting the more developed countries to cripple their own economies even as you yourself commit to absolutely nothing. -- excerpt, rest at link above --

Summit for Nothing

Happy Earth Day!
April 22, 2021

China has snaffled the planet out from under the United States, but that's no reason for the moth-eaten sock-puppet in the Oval Office not to demonstrate that he's still a power to be reckoned with by holding an Earth Day summit on climate change.

In the old days, Earth Day for politicians just meant presidents and prime ministers had to be flown somewhere to be photographed planting a tree. Alas, a year of lockdown has given then a taste for something grander and more economically devastating. In a political culture incapable of talking about anything that matters, the exhausted rituals of our dying civilization take on an ever greater pseudo-urgency.

Anyway, in honor of the latest stupid pointless summit, I thought I'd rerun a few highlights from Earth Days of yore. In 2002, in The National Post of Canada, I offered a quick compilation album of greatest hits from the early days of the movement - "Apocalypse Soon":-- excerpt, rest at link above --

The virtual event is made up of more than 40 world leaders including Chinese President Xi Jinping and Pope Francis.



China’s president says his country will strive to cut carbon dioxide emissions before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2060.

President Biden pledged to cut U.S. emissions from 2005 levels by up to 52% by the end of this decade.

Addressing climate change is a key factor in Biden’s proposed infrastructure plan.

Day two of the global climate summit just started morning and Biden already shows that he is a worldwide embarrassment.-- excerpt, rest at link above --

Joe Biden's climate summit attracts...200 YouTube viewers

Joe Biden's director for intelligence just declared climate to be front and center of American foreign policy.

Biden himself calls climate "the existential crisis of our time."

And with Biden's big climate summit featuring top world leaders as it played live, with all its fancy Zoom graphics and summit pageantry, how many viewers did he draw?

That's some existential crisis of our time that you've got there, Joe, drawing that great big crowd of 200, for an event featuring China's President Xi Jinping, Russia's President Vladimir Putin, Pope Francis, Greta Thunberg, plus the Davos corporate crowd, and assorted union bigs. Whole lot of virtue-signaling there, for that viewership of 200. Sound like anyone's alarmed? A YouTube video on washing machine repair drew 53,000 viewers. A Georgia-based singing peasant group, complete with babushka scarves and a donkey, drew 3 million viewers. And Joe, at least for the time he was speaking? Probably the same 200 who attended his rallies.-- excerpt, rest at link above --
