Bill McKibben

Scott Pruitt told CPAC on Saturday that he wants to roll back suffocating Obama-era environmental regulations and return the agency to environmental sanity.

Energy and climate realists must hold alarmists like McKibben to their own standards. If the alarmists want to be taken seriously, they must nuke up or shut up.

Bill McKibben argues if civilization is to endure, we must end our use of fossil fuels and switch to wind and solar, but fossil fuels do not undermine civilization; they are the foundation upon which modern civilization is built.

How Bill McKibben sleeps at night amidst his non-stop proliferation of lies is beyond me – though I expect he has profited handsomely in some way or another.

Methane is not the monster it’s made out to be, because emissions from oil and gas operations are generally low, and when leaks do occur, they are fixed quickly and easily.

The campaign is about all fossil fuels: oil, gas, and coal. Instead of an “all of the above” energy policy, when it comes to fossil fuels, they want “none of the above.” A big part of the effort is focused on preventing the extraction of fossil fuels on public lands—which is supported by presidential candidates Senator Bernie Sanders and Secretary Hillary Clinton. The recent moratorium of leasing federal lands for coal mining, announced by Secretary of Interior Sally Jewell, is considered a great victory for “keep it in the ground.”

Twenty protesters were arrested in front of John Kerry’s house last week. The group, Midwest Unrest, claims to oppose the “Enbridge Pipeline,” but seems to be related to a much larger effort at heading off any development of a pipeline to carry oil the Alberta tar sands.
