'Unprofessional conduct': Prof faces firing for questioning data for racial climate task force​



Bakersfield College administrators interpreted skepticism about a proposed "racial climate task force" and the disputed student survey used to justify its creation as "unprofessional conduct" by tenured history professor Matthew Garrett in a Nov. 21 notice.

The college removed him from the Equal Opportunity and Diversity Advisory Committee to kick off the 90-day "remedial period" that ended Feb. 20, meaning the Kern Community College District (KCCD) can launch "formal disciplinary proceedings for dismissal." Just the News was shown a few portions of the notice.

Garrett's problems derive from years of faculty and administration hostility to the Renegade Institute for Liberty, which he founded at BC. The institute has 23 "committed faculty," including fellow tenured history professor Erin Miller.

Moore observed that aggressive renewable energy policies enacted in recent years by American lawmakers, including the $369 billion in climate funds approved by the Inflation Reduction Act last year, are incapable of neutralizing the higher emissions from the developing world. “Two-thirds of all the carbon emissions in the world are in Asia,” Moore said. “We are a raindrop in an ocean as it relates to this, so we’re chasing policy that is only at the end of the day hurting the average American citizen.”

Businesses in the U.S. have nevertheless struggled to access capital for new projects related to fossil fuels, especially as investment banks and asset management companies adhere to the tenets of the environmental, social, and corporate governance movement, also known as ESG. Several financial institutions have committed to initiatives under which executives vow to move portfolio companies toward eliminating net carbon emissions.

Moore noted that West Virginia is at a mere 30% capacity with respect to natural gas production because there is insufficient pipeline infrastructure to export the material to global markets, even though the fuel burns cleaner than other fossil fuels. “We have an ocean of natural gas in West Virginia,” Moore said. “Everybody who loves Ukraine and wants to help and support the Europeans who were previously relying on Russian gas, we cannot export enough gas over to them because we cannot get the gas to ports.”

Beyond asserting that nations such as China are better equipped to mobilize their militaries and increase weapons manufacturing in the event of a global conflict due to their willingness to use fossil fuels, Moore noted that American energy policy has long overlooked the considerable “human flourishing” enabled by inexpensive and reliable power.

‘Self-Inflicted Wounds’: The Dismal State Of American Energy Policy

Policymakers in the United States are focused on a renewable energy transition despite the geopolitical and economic risks that emerge from a lack of reliable and cheap power sources. The Russian invasion of Ukraine and the supply chain bottlenecks that characterize the global economy following...

Is this the greatest ripoff in American history?​




You've got to almost shriek out loud when you read this line: "Thursday's (IEA) report was described as disconcerting by climate scientists."

"Disconcerting"? That's putting it lightly. We are the furthest thing from being climate change alarmists, but when you spend $100 billion of taxpayer money and achieve absolutely nothing, President Joe Biden and his green allies should be arrested for criminal fraud.

Where did all the money go? Tens of billions of dollars have lined the pockets of left-wing environmental and social justice groups that have been emitting a lot of hot air but no results. Green energy companies have milked taxpayers of tens of billions more, even as wind and solar only produce about 12% of our energy.

Is this the greatest ripoff of U.S. taxpayers in history?

Hearing the matter in state courts could also allow localities to dictate policy for the country by pressuring companies with penalties, Skinner pointed out. Court rulings could force, for example, people in Arizona to go without products deemed problematic by Berkeley, California.

Lawyers and public officials backing the Boulder case expressed approval of the Biden administration’s recommendation.

“The Boulder community is already feeling the effects of the climate crisis,” City of Boulder Mayor Aaron Brockett said in a statement. “Fires, floods, and extreme weather not only pose threats to our community, but they are also very costly to taxpayers. The companies responsible for these costs must pay.”

EarthRights General Counsel Marco Simons said in a statement they are “encouraged” by the government’s advice to deny certiorari and hope the Supreme Court will follow it.

The Boulder case, like many other similar ones, is backed by left-wing legal advocacy groups. EarthRights International and the Hannon Law Firm, along with the Niskanen Center, filed the lawsuit against Suncor Energy and Exxon Mobil on behalf of Boulder.

Moreover, even when a public nuisance case is legally weak, companies sometimes settle with cities because it is cheaper than continuing the litigation process, according to a report by the Alliance for Consumers, which also notes that local governments with budget issues are active in filing public nuisance lawsuits.

“The lawsuits filed by localities over climate change are nothing more than attempts at extorting money from energy companies,” Masslon told the DCNF. “This attempted [extortion] will lead to increased energy prices that will make it tougher for Americans to make ends meet. The only group that will benefit is the plaintiffs’ bar.”

Woke Dem-Led Colorado City Bans New Gas Stations to Fight 'Climate Change'​



City councilors in Louisville passed an ordinance limiting the number of gas stations allowed to operate within the city to just six.

Legislators claimed they felt the decision was necessary to combat "global warming."

"We have an obligation to take every step possible to address the changes to our climate that are ravaging our planet and directly impacting the health, well-being, and livelihoods of the constituents we represent in Louisville,' council member Maxine Most told Fox News.

In the unanimous vote, the ordinance also mandates gas stations to be at least 1,000 feet apart from one another while requiring each one to install "electric vehicle (EV) fast charging stations for any expanded, modified or new gasoline or automobile service station equaling 20% of the number of gasoline pumps at the stations, with no fewer than two such charging stations."

Although Most admitted the proposal wouldn't end "climate change," she still advocates for the small town to continue with the plan anyways, saying she does not want to create additional fossil fuel infrastructure.
