Biden Deputy Secretary of Energy David Turk highlighted the absurdity of the climate grift this week during a Senate Appropriations Subcommittee hearing, when Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) couldn’t get a straight answer out of him over the cost of going ‘carbon neutral.’
In a tense exchange, Kennedy repeatedly attempted to get Turk to give a straightforward answer to just how much American taxpayers will have to pay to achieve the Biden administration’s goal of reaching US carbon neutrality by 2050.
When Kennedy asked whether some of the “experts” Turk referred to earlier were correct in a $50 trillion estimate, Turk nodded his head, and said “It’s gonna cost trillions of dollars, there’s no doubt about it.”
“f we spend $50 trillion to become carbon neutral by 2050 in the United States of America, how much is that going to reduce world temperatures?” Kennedy replied. The conversation continued (transcription via the Daily Caller)
Turk: “So, every country around the world needs to get its act together. Our emissions are about 13% of global emissions right now…”
Kennedy: “Yeah, but if you could answer my question. If we spend $50 trillion to become carbon neutral in the U.S. by 2050, you’re the Deputy Secretary of Energy, give me your estimate of how much that is going to reduce world temperatures.”
Turk: “So, first of all, it’s a net cost. It’s what, um, benefits we’re having from getting our act together and reducing all of those costs and climate benefits…”
Kennedy: “Let me ask you. Maybe I’m not being clear. If we spend $50 trillion to become carbon neutral by 2050 in the United States of America, how much is that going to reduce world temperatures?”
Turk: “This is a global problem, so we need to reduce our emissions and we need to do everything to, uh…”
Kennedy: “How much of we do our part is it going to reduce global temperatures?”
Turk: “So, we’re 13% of global emissions…”
Kennedy: “You don’t know, do you? You don’t know, do you?”
A fully flabbergasted Turk then says “In my heart of hearts, there is no way the world gets its act together on climate change unless the U.S. leads.”

As energy expert David Blackmon writes in the Daily Caller;
And there we have it. Americans are being asked to accept the force-feeding of an incredibly radical set of policies with a price tag that is unprecedented in global history to achieve a “carbon neutrality” goal, whose benefits are so nebulous, negligible and wholly reliant on the cooperative actions of other countries beyond U.S. control that they cannot be measured in any reliable way.
Instead, we are being told by senior political appointees forcing those policies into being that we should simply trust them because they think it is the right thing to do in their “heart of hearts.”
This is madness. For some context, $50 trillion is an amount that exceeds the gross domestic product of the U.S., China, India, Germany and Japan, combined. It is a number that drastically exceeds total U.S. national debt. It is more than 135 times the $369 billion in green energy subsidies contained in last year’s Orwellian-named Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).
That is five new IRAs each year for the next 27 years. Madness.
Madness indeed.

It is always about CO2, nothing is or ever will be carbon neutral. Carbon based organisms living on a carbon based planet in a carbon based universe trying to eliminate carbon, how do you spell suicide?
In their 1991 book, ‘The First Global Revolution’, key members of the #ClubOfRome wrote:
“The need for enemies seems to be a common historical factor. States have striven to overcome domestic failure and internal contradictions by designating external enemies. The scapegoat practice is as old as mankind itself. When things become too difficult at home, divert attention by adventure abroad.
( They made it all up, see also ” substitutes for war ” think tank papers )
“In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. All these dangers are caused by human intervention and it is only through changed attitudes and behaviour that they can be overcome. The real enemy, then, is humanity itself.”
Just one year later, #Agenda21 was launched, at the UN Conference on Environment and Development, held in Rio de Janeiro on 13th June, 1992.
The same way they sell Equality. I.e. something that does not exist, but at the same time is something to which all that exists must conform. Its why I haven’t found a better label than ‘death cult’.
It cost a lot of money to enslave and kill off the population. He should know that!
Who’s going to get the
50,000 000,000,000? Isn’t that the real objective?
And who IS this person or entity that has the power over the climate? And why does it need money?

John didn’t kill himself. What a bunch of crap.
Regardless of what “voters” want, “they” will get their expenditures for this lunatic, baseless idea.
Somebody should sell a T-shirt with “We are Doomed” on it.
Idiots in charge !
Co2 is .038% of our atmosphere FACT !
Should carbon dioxide (Co2) levels in our planets atmosphere be reduced to .02% all plant life will start to die .
These idiots are Fucking around with a delicate balance of atmospheric conditions that control the photosynthesis Cycles of plant life that absorbs Co2 and produced oxygen FACT
SO TO SAVE THE PLANET WE MUST SUFFOCATE OURSELVES as we starve to death
GREAT PLAN ASSHOLES PLEASE TELL US MORE
Talk about people full of shit 🤪
It is why years ago I suggested the were geoengineering for a species besides humans.
and carbon is harmful to them
I’m guessing Mitch won’t be authorizing any of the climate grift kickbacks for Kennedy…
The tree canopies in the worlds jungles and rain forests are really the lungs of the planet. If the continuing destruction of these areas that is occurring continue, and they will, no amount of money thrown at it will make the world carbon neutral. Not like too much carbon is a real problem anyway; climate change is a natural phenomena that has been occurring for millennia and pipsqueak humans have no control over such things.
When the focus is always about enriching the elite and not on any real solvable problem the beat will go on.
Amazon jungle at one Time was responsible for 40% of the planets oxygen production.
Let’s fuck it up so Bill Gates and his geo engineering fools can save us from a problem they want to create .
THAT SOUNDS LIKE A FINE IDEA BUBBA
🤪💰💰💰💰💰
We wouldn’t have to deal with this bullshit if not for the goddamn 19th Amendment.
that doesn’t even apply here, let alone globally. can i get an amen/dment?
Ever notice how you can NEVER get a straight answer out of a democrat ?
Another example is the scotus SHEBOON who refused to answer the question of the difference in men and women.
Only way to get a straight answer out of a democrat is to knock it out of them.
