Thu, Feb 11, 1932 – Page 6“THE YEAR OF NO WINTER.
A glance at the calendar shows that the winter is fast passing and that spring will be here in just a few weeks. As a matter of fact, the winter is likely to pass without ever having arrived. Throughout the Eastern section of the United States the winter of 1931-32 will go down in history as one of the mildest on record, causing coal dealers and clothiers to tear their hair in despair. Herbert Janvrin Browne, Washington’s celebrated long range weather forecaster, has been working to ascertain the explanation for the dearth of snow, ice and low temperatures throughout this part of the country and as a result of his labors he comes forward with the announcement that the moon, the sun, the ocean currents and circling winds have conspired in cosmic unity to bring about a year without a winter, so far as the Eastern section of the United States is concerned.”

Given the cost, risks, and lack of benefits, why is there lots of support for CCUS? Cheyenne perhaps suggests one answer. Cheyenne lies at the intersection of two major rail networks with associated long haul internet backbone fiber, two major interstate highways, and a satellite uplink/downlink and satellite flying operation. For these reasons, and its cheap local electrical energy, a number of social media, data centers and AI facilities want to locate there. However, the wokeness of these companies dictates that they use clean energy. Powerful business interests and state politicians see all this as economic opportunities.[3] In addition there are plans for building a green hydrogen hub and even trying direct air capture of CO2. Then, there are subsidies to harvest.

Are we tired of winning yet? Not a bit…
Just like that, Donald Trump gutted the UN Green Climate Fund. Among all the blockbuster scandals this last week, hardly anyone even registered that it happened. Politico, the government funded fake news organization, mentioned it on Feb 5th, and its barely made a ripple. There’s been no parade of extinctionists dressed as red witches, and no one has glued themselves to a freeway. The mainstream media have barely mentioned it. It’s almost like they don’t want to say it, in case other countries think — “great idea“.
Instead of outrage — “think of the children” — The State Department said “no comment” and so did the UN.
The Green Climate Fund is the world’s largest unguarded bucket of money labeled “climate change”. It was founded in 2010 and so far has squandered $16 billion on renewables and adaption projects in developing countries without spending 10 cents checking the evidence and assumptions.
Karl Matheisen, Politico
The U.S. had committed the most money to the global fund, which helps over 100 countries grapple with the changing world.
“The government of the United States rescinds any outstanding pledges to the Green Climate Fund,” U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio wrote to U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres in a note dated Jan. 27, parts of which were seen by POLITICO.
The climate fund confirmed the decision.
The U.S. withdrawal follows President Donald Trump’s order revoking and rescinding the country’s federal climate finance program, signed on his first day in office.
Four billion may not sound like much in the scheme of things — especially when USAID is tossing around ten times as much, but it goes a long way among scientists, student activists and the rent-a-crowd protestors. It buys a lot of press releases, and it adds a large layer of dedicated cheerleaders for a “climate crisis” all around the world. In terms of performance art, it’s a lot of money.
The wild thing at the moment though, is all that money supposedly just vanished and hardly anyone is saying a thing.
There don’t seem to be many abandoned beneficiaries screaming for help, wondering if storms will be worse next year. It’s almost like we are not supposed to notice. The UNFCCC Green Climate Fund page on the UN site is so low key it barely exists. The latest report is 178 pages of blah. Does anyone, anywhere read it?
This was a fund that was originally supposed to be $100 billion dollars, yet somehow the logo looks like it was done by a high schooler. It’s like this money is hidden behind a wall of boring.
