The Highwire with Del Bigtree - AMERICANS COOLING ON CLIMATE CHANGE

Episode Date: May 10, 2023

A new survey shows more than half of Americans no longer believe that climate change is mostly the fault of humans. Yet leadership and institutions are moving rapidly to clamp down and control the lives of individuals, purportedly to save the environment.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-highwire-with-del-bigtree--3620606/support.

Throughout these COVID response in the last three years, we watch step by step of the unscientific moves, the inhumane moves, and often ridiculous moves that the government was making, leaders were making. And now we're seeing on the back end that everyone's trying to backtrack, but something similar is happening in the climate conversation. We're seeing some ridiculous moves there that has a lot of people scratching their head. And it'll be interesting. I mean, it seems like it's almost full circle coming around right when it happens. But this is breaking news just yesterday. This is Jennifer Granholm during a Senate Armed Services Committee. hearing. She's the Biden Energy Secretary. She's a lawyer with no military background, mind you.

And she says this. Here's the headline. Biden Energy Secretary wants all U.S. military vehicles to be electric by 2030. She believes we can get there. I guess the only problem with that is they're going to know who we're going to invade because they're going to be putting up charging stations in the battlefield. Might actually work against you, right? If you try to get people to put charging stations, don't put them up. If there's any chance America might try to invent. Can you imagine, like, you know, the entire battalion just stopped in the middle of a desert city, wait a minute. Someone said there's supposed to be a charging station right here. Man, I mean, you just can't get more ridiculous, honestly. No, and so going from the ridiculous to also the seriously ridiculous,

New York City is going to reduce food-based emissions, and they're going to cut that. New York City He aims to reduce food-based emissions by 33% by 2030. So they show that the third biggest greenhouse gas emissions were food-based emissions behind transportation and buildings. So we already know what they're doing with the transportation. There's cutting that building as well. So they say that 20% of these greenhouse gas emissions come from household food consumption. That's the people there on the ground.

And they're trying to basically just phase out meat, phase out dairy, completely move to plant-based foods. There's a problem. There's a problem with this. Can I say lab-based foods? Let's go ahead and throw that in. Plant-based foods seems to mean lab-based food. For those of you that want to put like a big green bow on it, it's not green. It's synthetic and gross and disgusting is what it really is. Right. So as these leaders are looking into the future, 2030, 2050, there's some real issues on the ground right now in New York City.

So as they're talking about cutting food emissions by 33%, which means basically cutting food, You have this. This is from city harvest. This is one of New York City's largest food rescue organizations. And they say this, food insecurity in our city remains near historic highs. Visits to New York City food pantries and soup kitchens are up 69% in 2022 compared to 2019. They say one and four children have food insecurity in New York City. So I don't know how that's going to go with that population. It's a large population about cutting their food emissions. But just as ridiculous in the health sector is this going on.

We're talking about anesthetics now. That's those things that put you out when you go into a major surgery. This was the headline. Decreasing anesthetics during procedures without compromising patient care can reduce greenhouse gas emissions. What? All right. So it says in this article, in the study of more than 13,000 patients, you got to wonder if they were given informed consent what they're about to do. The author set a goal of an average fresh gas flow.

that's what goes through the mask to put you out of three liters per minute or less for procedures. In March 2021, prior to the intervention, authors determined that the fresh gas flow was about five to six liters per minute in many cases. It goes on to say by 2021, they recorded an average fresh gas flow of three liters per minute or less in 93% of the cases. Yay, they did it. The researchers now are aiming to reduce the fresh gas flow to less than two liters per minute throughout the system. How low can you go, Dal? I keep trying to imagine. headline next year, you know, President Biden is looking to lower anesthesia levels to just one click above the patient screaming, ow! Or the other headline. I think it needs a little bit more,

but that's it. And God forbid, by the way, Jeffrey, that they, I mean, I'm really concerned they're going to discover that what we're all exhaling is CO2, which happens to be a greenhouse gas. What are they going to do to us? There's just too many of us. We've got to get rid of them. We're killing the planet. it. Right. So when you get wheeled into surgery and you see a shot of whiskey there, no, we're going back to the good old days because that doesn't emit greenhouse gas. You can't make this stuff up, but no one would believe you five years ago, they'd never believe this. Now, sticking in the medical community here with some more ridiculous, remember, this is the same medical community with respect

to them during the beginning stage of the COVID, that we're sticking people in rooms, weren't contaminating the staff, saying, you know, is quarantine these people, we're not going to give them early interventions. We're just going to stick them in there because we don't know what's going on. The pendulum is swinging to the opposite side now to reduce carbon footprint. This is the BMJ. This is the headline. It says reusable gowns and drapes in surgery could reduce carbon footprint analysis shows. So all those surgery drapes and those gowns after they're soiled, I guess just throw them with a little cap of bleach into the laundry and you should be good to go for the climate. But everything is really. Amazing, as you pointed out, the same climate people that forced us all to just

keep throwing all these face diapers into the garbage on the streets all over in our rivers and our oceans now of a sudden it's like hey you know what the real problem is it's surgeries let's lower the anesthesia let's just rewash all the bloody garments and things that are there because that'll be just fine as crazy as these headlines are none of them really get to the point of this next one this next one goes into this stratosphere so this let's bring up bill gates this our friend here because he's always circling around in these conversations whether it's health now he's climate. Bill Gates aims to fight climate change by stopping, wait for it, cows from burping. This is a Gates funded, he has a fund called the Breakthrough Energy Ventures, interesting.

And they're trying to reduce methane emissions by putting a supplement in cows feed to stop them from burping and farting, mind you. And they're saying that that could reduce the emissions coming from cows by 95%. We keep seeing this number 95%, whether there's vaccines or reducing, it must be sometime a talking point number. But that's what Breakthrough Energy Ventures is doing at the behest of Bill Gates and the funding of Bill Gates is an Australian company. But now we bring it. I think of what we should think of when we think of the term 95%. From now on, you hear 95%. I just want you to think bullfarts. Yeah. Well, let's bring it down to the individual person and their actual spending on items. So this is Dr. Simon Goodart. This is a Twitter. This is a Twitter,

account and he went to Twitter and put this out he said my Brazilian bank C6 bank is now tracking my CO2 emissions from purchases travel etc and strongly encouraging me to compensate monetarily for them so here's an image this is his back-end app for his first bank C6 and it says here you can see negative 7.88 kilograms of CO2 emissions now it's in Portuguese but it basically says the compensation of the balance is equivalent to the preservation of one tree so now they're they're giving they're calculating your dollars spent in trees. And so you can see here it shows each one of his transactions down to the granular level and how much CO2 emissions is giving off. And it's interesting because just a

little research into this C6 bank, you can see who has a large share in this. This is J.P. Morgan. So the headline J.P. Morgan makes Brazilian retail banking debut with 40% stake in C6 bank. This is the same J.P. Morgan who just recently said this, sees property. to build wind and solar farms. This is Jamie Diamond, J.P. Morgan Chief. These are the green projects. They're saying they must be fast tracks, says Diamond, to meet these net zero targets,

talking about using eminent domain to take people's land to throw up solar and windmills. And we've already looked at some white papers last week showing how really inefficient these are and they don't have the capacity to take forth this energy system that's really being built out or put on to. So let me ask you, this Brazilian, Bank. Now, there's no repercussions at the moment. This is basically just they're running a test

on how we would track it, probably getting people used to it. But you can tell that this is a test group for our future, folks. This is where this is going. And, you know, I know you probably get sick of me saying it, but I really want to make it clear that I believe in a clean environment. I mean, I really struggle with these issues because on the one hand, I want clean and healthy fish in every river in America. I want that great old American pastime where we can go down to the river with our kids, pull a fish out, and be able to eat it, hunt, you know, for food and be able to eat it, not have it contaminated by all sorts of issues. And that is a problem. And we can fix those problems in the immediate. But we can do it, I think, using the free market balance.

You know, we see cars changing. Nobody wants a dirtier car than they need. We all want better gas mileage. Let the market forces drive these things. Let good ideas prevail, mandating them by government, using carbon credit scores and enslaving us, has nothing to do with actually protecting the environment. And that's where I think all this is at. Cutting my food supply is not the answer, you know, all of these things. And so we're going to continue to cover this. But I do want, as, you know, the audience out there to think about, you know, wouldn't it be great if we had cleaner air, less asthma? Wouldn't it be great if every river you could just jump in it and never have a thought about it? And we had some, you

some system that, you know, made sure that the industries that are, would like to pollute our rivers are not allowed to. You know, I believe in those protections somehow. But we have regulatory agencies that are totally captured by industry. We have a government captured by industry, which makes me leery and skeptical of everything that's being promoted in this space right now. So we're going to continue to show the truth as we see it and try and make our way through. These are very precarious times and very confusing discussions, I think. And it seems like the little people always come up short on these conversations, whether it's increased control on their lives or just this. So in 2022, Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act.

This was like a $750 billion package. And in there was this historic green energy package as well that was going to really supercharge the United States into like this net zero economy. But now we're seeing this. There's a new government analysis. This is epoch times. Big banks corporations getting 90% of Biden's green energy credits, congressional studies. So this is the study by the joint committee on taxation. It's saying that these tax credits are going into the coffers of big banks and billion-dollar corporations.

So nothing new under the sun, it seems like, with the climate change. And that's really sad. But let's go back. Now, we talked about New York City, the food insecurity there. People really are focused on what their needs are right now, right now as we speak, not 2030, not 2050. So the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago recently did a survey asking some of these questions. It was a nationwide poll of 5,408 adults. And this is some of the things they found.

They says this. Americans are less convinced that climate change is caused mostly or entirely by humans compared to data from recent years, declining from 60% in 2018 to 49% this year. It also goes on to say about Americans' concerns. Number one, the economy, 82%, where they're getting their jobs, their money, their payroll. And then number two, health care, 81%, could continue to be the most. important issues to Americans. Climate is coming in third at this point. So we have some really interesting points. Remember, this climate change, you know, ideology thought has been really pushed for

decades and decades. We were showing clips from like the 60s and 70s. So having less than half Americans really believe that it's their fault is a big change. So for the people in the administration that are really trying to push this net zero by 2030 aggressively, they have a big issue with their talking points and their narrative because a lot of people are not are seeing through this and seeing another side of it. Look, no one wants to see, you know, people that can't afford electric cars losing their ability to travel. No one wants to live in a 15-minute city here in the United States of America. No one wants to be told where to live, how to live, how to get around, this is a free country. And so the fact that they're pushing all these agendas, thinking they

control our food, control our movements, you know, control our moral standards. This isn't what the government is there for. Get out of the way. And I think you're seeing that. on all sides of these discussions now. And so those are the drops in those numbers. And rightfully so, thank God. I think it's all showing that people are waking up and not just, you know, walking around like a bunch of zombies, which I think we were worried about as we're entering into COVID.

And now, you know, we have these tools and these ridiculous headlines as ways to really start a conversation with those that, you know, have been hypnotized, if you will. When you think about Matthias Desmit and the mass information conversations we've had. We've got to pull them out of that hypnosis and these headlines are really good at doing that.
