Selling out the US to international eco grifters explains why we are getting the crazy rule making –
“Documents obtained by the Committee contradict this narrative by showing that CEQ worked closely with CDP to tailor its message to the FAR Council in order to guarantee its inclusion in the proposed rule,” the memo states.
“Emails obtained by the Committee show that a senior CEQ staffer had previously held a senior role at CDP and may have gone to work at CEQ with the intent of funneling money, influence, and regulatory authority to CDP/SBTi,” it continues. “The close relationship between CEQ and CDP/SBTi and the Biden Administration was evident from the beginning.”
Betty Cremmins, the director for Sustainable Supply Chains at CEQ, ultimately spearheaded the office’s work on the FAR Council proposal throughout 2022 and stayed in regular contact with officials at both CDP and SBTi. However, in an apparent conflict of interest, Cremmins previously worked at CDP as the director of its West Coast office.
Cremmins appears to have even coordinated CDP’s messaging while at CEQ to ensure it aligned with FAR Council priorities. In one email, CDP’s general counsel even went as far as telling Cremmins, “[w]hen I first met you, you said your goal was to make CDP the law – and you did!
“The Committee’s primary concern is maintaining the integrity of the scientific and rulemaking process,” the memo concludes. “The decision to select CDP and SBTi appears to not have been based on either a meritorious process or generally accepted science, but on arbitrary rulemaking.”
“After a nine-month investigation, the evidence presented shows that the decision to include CDP and SBTi in the proposed rule was based on a desire to steer power, influence, and regulatory authority to favored special interest environmental activist groups,” it states. “The evidence shows that the FAR Council was minimally involved in the vetting of CDP and SBTi.”

The eco nuts who worship at the altar of global warming would destroy the west and ignore the chi coms and vlad. It should be listed as a mental health diagnosis. But then their leader is a crazy teenager. –
f new U.S. LNG projects are blocked, Europe and Asia will have to import gas from elsewhere to meet their growing demand. Most won’t come from America’s friends. Yet the climate lobby says new LNG projects will lock in higher CO2 emissions for decades. They’re apparently less worried by the 305 coal-fired power plants that China has announced or has in the works.
News flash: China’s CO2 emissions increased last year by twice as much as U.S. emissions declined. Blocking new LNG export projects won’t reduce global emissions. But it would be a gift to America’s adversaries and show Europe that the U.S. isn’t a reliable ally.
“In Europe many projects for new LNG import terminals are based on the assumption of stable long-term supply relationships with the US,” Eurogas President Didier Holleaux said in a statement. “If additional US LNG export capacities would not materialise it would risk increasing and prolonging the global supply imbalance” and make prices volatile.
The problem with futile political gestures is they can have significant costs in the real world.

For Don Besse, Trump’s former DJ record cheerleader.
I guess Trump’s predictions will probably go this way,
“President Joe Biden on Monday marked record-high stock market numbers with a dig at Donald Trump.
Just before the 2020 election, Trump predicted a Biden win would lead to “a stock market collapse the likes of which you’ve never had.”
Biden tweeted a clip of Trump’s prediction alongside a separate clip from Fox News on Monday announcing record closes for both the Dow and the S&P 500.
“Good one, Donald,” he wrote.”

Sorry Don,
Donald Trump cheats at golf and would believe that Martians stole the 2020 election, one of his top allies reportedly claimed in court.
“South Carolina senator Lindsey Graham, 68, spent four months unsuccessfully fighting against his subpoena to testify in front of a Georgia grand jury investigating alleged election interference by the former president.
The congressman, who even took his challenge to the US Supreme Court, could have refused to answer questions by invoking his right against self-incrimination under the Constitution’s Fifth Amendment.
Instead, he reportedly “turned on a dime ‘and threw Trump under the bus’” in the Fulton County case, according to a new book about the prosecution.
During his secret grand jury testimony, Mr Graham said if you told Mr Trump “that Martians came and stole the election, he’d probably believe you”, Michael Isikoff and Daniel Klaidman claim in Find Me the Votes: A Hard-Charging Georgia Prosecutor, a Rogue President, and the Plot to Steal an American Election.
According to an excerpt obtained by Politico, Mr Graham also suggested that the former president “cheated at golf”.
Mr Graham has often gushed about Mr Trump’s golfing prowess. In 2017, he claimed Mr Trump had “shot a 73 in windy and wet conditions!”, a result so impressive it was questioned by Golf magazine”
