On Friday, the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/biden-administration" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Biden administration</a> announced its latest move to weaken U.S. energy independence as the Department of Interior announced that it will propose a plan that will generate &#8220;the fewest oil and gas lease sales in history&#8221; for offshore drilling over the next five years or so.
Why? Well, to protect us from climate change, the Biden administration claims.
&#8220;The Proposed Final Program includes a maximum of three potential oil and gas lease sales – the fewest oil and gas lease sales in history – in the Gulf of Mexico Program Area scheduled in 2025, 2027, and 2029,&#8221; DOI <a href="https://www.doi.gov/pressreleases/reflecting-americas-rapid-and-accelerating-shift-clean-energy-interior-department" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a press release. &#8220;In compliance with the terms of the [Inflation Reduction Act], these three proposed lease sales are the minimum number that will enable the Interior Department to continue to expand its offshore wind leasing program through 2030.&#8221;
According to the DOI, this move is &#8220;reflecting America’s rapid and accelerating shift to clean energy.&#8221; Of course, it&#8217;s not really &#8220;reflecting&#8221; anything. It&#8217;s more evidence that the Biden administration is forcing green energy down the American people&#8217;s throats — no matter what it costs.
In reaction to the news, Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA) blasted the president.
Biden &#8220;is caving to radical enviros, helping Russia &amp; Venezuela, &amp; destroying our energy security,&#8221; he posted on X.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
This is the smallest offshore energy program in U.S. history.

Indeed, last fall the president relaxed sanctions on Venezuela, allowing Chevron to pump oil in the socialist state. Neither he nor his Climate Czar John Kerry have done anything of substance to stop China&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/in-devastating-blow-to-john-kerrys-green-energy-utopia-china-to-start-increasing-coal-production?%3Futm_source=twitter&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=dwtwitter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">carbon emissions output either</a>.

In other words, over the last year, the Biden administration has contrived ways to shrink America&#8217;s fossil fuel production while allowing America&#8217;s enemies to run hog wild. This is par for the course.
In fact, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm once laughed out loud at the very idea of increasing U.S. gas production to lower costs:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm laughs when asked about Biden&#39;s plans to bring gas prices down.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/03/07/kamala-harris-pete-buttigieg-slammed-amid-high-gas-prices/">once cheekily remarked</a> that if Americans simply bought an electric vehicle, they would not have to worry about high gas prices — as if working moms and dads have an extra $50,000 lying around to do so.
Ultimately, the Biden administration seeks a green energy utopia that will never come.
They are content with using federal power to squash &#8220;bad&#8221; industries, as they see it, and using taxpayer money to prop up &#8220;good&#8221; industries.
Companies with connections to Biden advisor John Podesta — tasked with allocating billions toward green energy — will benefit greatly. The &#8220;rapid and accelerating shift&#8221; to clean energy will reportedly cost $1 trillion. In turn, the American people will suffer. It&#8217;s all so dirty.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/sen-dianne-feinstein-dies-at-90" target="_blank" rel="noopener">passed away</a>, and while there is plenty in her decades-long senatorial career to scrutinize, there’s one shining moment that deserves special attention: The time she put a bunch of global warming-indoctrinated kids in their place. 
In <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-far-left-group-uses-kids-pressure-feinstein-ryan-saavedra" target="_blank" rel="noopener">February of 2019</a>, the far-Left Sunrise Movement paid a visit to Feinstein’s office in hopes of convincing California’s senior senator to support Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Ed Markey’s Green New Deal. It didn’t quite go the way the group expected. 
While protesting to Feinstein that only 12 years remained to take bold action against climate change, the group of youngsters demanded that she vote according to their wishes. Feinstein stood with her arms crossed and gave those kids a wake-up call. 
“You know what’s interesting about this group?” Feinstein said to them while standing defiant. “I’ve been doing this for 30 years. I know what I’m doing. You come in here and you say it has to be my way or the highway. I don’t respond to that.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
This is how <a href="https://twitter.com/SenFeinstein?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@SenFeinstein</a> reacted to children asking her to support the <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/GreenNewDeal?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#GreenNewDeal</a> resolution &#8212; with smugness + disrespect.
This is a fight for our generation&#39;s survival. Her reaction is why young people desperately want new leadership in Congress. <a href="https://t.co/0zAkaxruMI">pic.twitter.com/0zAkaxruMI</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
You can see the kids’ faces change from a look of exuberance to melancholy as they realize that Feinstein won’t budge. 
At one point, a teenager said, &#8220;I hear what you are saying, but we&#8217;re the people who voted for you. You&#8217;re supposed to listen to us.&#8221;
“How old are you?” Feinstein calmly said back.
“Sixteen, I can’t vote,” the teenager replied.
“Well, you didn’t vote for me,” the elected official responded. 
An older woman in the group tried to appeal to Feinstein’s position as a grandmother in a whiny monologue claiming that Feinstein’s alternative to the Green New Deal didn’t go far enough in protecting future generations.

“You know better than I do, so I think one day you should run for the Senate and then you do it your way,” Feinstein said. 
In watching the video, it seems that this was the first time many of these kids had ever heard the word “no” before. Indeed, Feinstein provided a master class on how to deal with leftists. May she rest in peace.

FLASHBACK: The Late Dianne Feinstein Gives It To Global Warming-Indoctrinated Kids

California

Congress

Amidst duel crises of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/massachusetts-activates-the-national-guard-to-deal-with-influx-of-illegal-aliens" target="_blank" rel="noopener">illegal immigration</a> and rising <a href="https://www.mass.gov/news/massachusetts-opioid-related-overdose-deaths-rose-25-percent-in-2022" target="_blank" rel="noopener">drug overdoses</a>, Massachusetts Democratic Governor Maura Healey has decided to crack down on the real culprit of the Bay State&#8217;s problems: Single-use plastic bottles.
Monday morning, the governor announced at The Clinton Global Initiative in New York City that she will be banning state agencies from purchasing single-use plastic bottles because climate change demands it.
&#8220;We know that plastic waste, plastic production are among the leading threats to our oceans, our climate, and environmental justice. In government, we have an obligation — we also have an opportunity — to not only stop contributing to this damage but to chart a better path forward,&#8221; Healey <a href="https://www.nbcboston.com/news/local/gov-healey-to-ban-all-state-agencies-from-purchasing-single-use-plastic-bottles/3138580/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.
There are some buzzwords in that statement that should be broken down before moving on to a parting thought about Healey and her ilk&#8217;s &#8220;concern&#8221; about the planet.
As <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bidens-climate-endgame-a-50-trillion-bridge-to-racial-equity" target="_blank" rel="noopener">previously discussed</a>, climate or environmental &#8220;justice&#8221; can commonly be taken to mean the race-based redistribution of wealth. Indeed, just last month Healey announced millions in taxpayer funding toward green energy projects and jobs in &#8220;environmental justice&#8221; communities. What does that mean? Well, here are the criteria to <a href="https://www.mass.gov/info-details/environmental-justice-populations-in-massachusetts#what-is-an-environmental-justice-population?-" target="_blank" rel="noopener">qualify</a> as an &#8220;EJ&#8221; in Massachusetts, per the state government:
<ol>
<li>the annual median household income is 65 percent or less of the statewide annual median household income</li>
<li>minorities make up 40 percent or more of the population</li>
<li>25 percent or more of households identify as speaking English less than &#8220;very well&#8221;</li>
<li>minorities make up 25 percent or more of the population and the annual median household income of the municipality in which the neighborhood is located does not exceed 150 percent of the statewide annual median household income</li>
</ol>
So, as readers can see, green energy funding is, to reiterate, often just a vehicle for the mass redistribution of wealth along racial and ethnic lines. It&#8217;s no different in the Bay State.
On Monday, Healey also told the crowd at CGI, &#8220;In our coastal state, we know climate change is our biggest threat. We also believe that taking action is our greatest opportunity, an opportunity to secure a safe, prosperous, and sustainable future.&#8221;
One has to wonder how many folks flew on private jets to that meeting in New York City. Something tells me that Healey won&#8217;t be banning state travel via gas-guzzling modes of transportation anytime soon. Nor does it seem that she offered her worldly peers any chastisement for their use of fossil fuels to gallivant around the globe.

President Joe Biden spent part of his overseas trip wringing his hands over the possibility that global temperatures could rise by 1.5°, calling the prospect &#8220;more frightening than nuclear war.&#8221;
Biden made the comments from a Hanoi, Vietnam, press conference – during which he also referred to those who didn&#8217;t buy into climate alarmism as &#8220;lying dog-faced pony soldiers&#8221; and claimed that he&#8217;d borrowed the line (<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-joe-biden-calls-a-female-voter-a-lying-dog-faced-pony-soldier" target="_blank" rel="noopener">which he&#8217;s used before</a>) from an old John Wayne movie.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Biden first called on his Special Envoy for Climate John Kerry, who he said had forgotten more about emissions than most could ever learn.
&#8220;Correct me if I get this wrong, John, but I&#8217;m quite sure I&#8217;m right,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And that is that there&#8217;s more carbon absorbed from the air into the Amazon region, into the ground — the ground — than emitted in the entire United States on the same basis.&#8221;
&#8220;Now imagine if people go in and do what we did, 150-200 years ago — and cut down the forest and start farming in that area,&#8221; Biden continued, going on to say that the larger and wealthier nations should be doing what they could to prevent developing nations from employing those same strategies.
&#8220;In addition to helping the environment overall — and the only existential threat humanity faces, even more frightening than a  — than a nuclear war, is global warming going above 1.5° in the next 20, ten years,&#8221; Biden added. &#8220;It would be real trouble, There&#8217;s no way back from that.&#8221;
During the same press conference, Biden referred to &#8220;climate deniers&#8221; as &#8220;lying, dog-faced pony soldiers&#8221; — a line he&#8217;s used before and claims he picked up from a John Wayne film.

&#8220;My brother loves having these famous lines from movies, famous quotes,&#8221; Biden prefaced, adding, &#8220;And one of them is there&#8217;s a movie about John Wayne, he&#8217;s an Indian scout, and they&#8217;re trying — I think it was Apache or one of the great tribes of America back on a reservation.&#8221;
The president went on to say something about the headdresses and Union soldiers who were apparently trying to get the Native Americans to go with them somewhere, promising them they&#8217;d be taken care of.
&#8220;And the Indian scout points to the Union soldier and says, &#8216;He&#8217;s a lying, dog-faced pony soldier,'&#8221; Biden continued. &#8220;Well there&#8217;s a lot of lying, dog-faced pony soldiers out there about — about global warming.&#8221;

Instead, it appears to be a strange mash-up of John Wayne lines crossed with a 1952 Tyrone Power film titled &#8220;Pony Soldier.&#8221;

&#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/global-warming" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Global warming</a>&#8221; is out, &#8220;global boiling&#8221; is in, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres announced Thursday.
“Humanity is in the hot seat,” Guterres <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/science/2023/jul/27/scientists-july-world-hottest-month-record-climate-temperatures" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> at a press conference. “For vast parts of North America, Asia, Africa and Europe, it is a cruel summer. For the entire planet, it is a disaster. And for scientists, it is unequivocal – humans are to blame.&#8221;
The science is settled, according to Guterres, but it would seem the fear-based propaganda hasn&#8217;t worked in scaring enough of the world into submission. And so, Guterres and his team have changed the talking points.
“All this is entirely consistent with predictions and repeated warnings. The only surprise is the speed of the change. Climate change is here, it is terrifying, and it is just the beginning,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The era of global warming has ended; the era of global boiling has arrived.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
The words &quot;global warming&quot; didn&#39;t work.
The words &quot;climate change&quot; didn&#39;t work.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
It&#8217;s easy to imagine that Guterres and the gang at the UN have a yellow notepad that looks something like this:
<blockquote><del datetime="2023-07-27T23:03:02+00:00">Global Warming</del>
<del datetime="2023-07-27T23:03:02+00:00">Climate Change</del>
<del datetime="2023-07-27T23:03:02+00:00">Extreme Weather </del>
Global boiling?</blockquote>
Would it surprise you to find out that Guterres is the former president of the Socialist International and a firm believer that the planet can only be saved by a team of &#8220;experts&#8221; and government control?
No, it probably wouldn&#8217;t surprise you; you&#8217;re a Daily Wire reader equipped with critical thinking skills. It&#8217;s easy to draw those conclusions if you pay attention.
Yet, it&#8217;s worth <a href="https://www.socialistinternational.org/fileadmin/uploads/si/Documents/Congresses/Paris_1999/AG_Address_Paris_1999.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reviewing</a> anyway that in 1999, Guterres gave an address outlining his desire for global socialism, and how his vision for the world would depend upon international organizations like the UN, global regulations, and cooperation between non-government actors.
He ended his speech, saying, &#8220;Dear friends and dear comrades &#8230;&#8217;We must not abandon utopia because the antagonism between ideas and reality is both the major dilemma of democratic socialism and its fascinating driving force.'&#8221;
Guterres is still pursuing that &#8220;utopia&#8221; and is using &#8220;global boiling&#8221; to enact it — with a sense of urgency, too. Don&#8217;t think, just do it, Guterres seems to be saying.
&#8220;It is still possible to limit global temperature rise to 1.5C and avoid the very worst of climate change but only with dramatic, immediate climate action,&#8221; he said Thursday. &#8220;We have seen some progress &#8212; a robust rollout of renewables and some positive steps from sectors such as shipping &#8212; but none of this is going far enough or fast enough. Accelerating temperatures demand accelerated action.&#8221;
Yet Guterres is wrong. The experts are not all-seeing Gods who can predict the future, much less the weather. As best-selling author George Gilder has long touted, the sort of central planning supported by Guterres cannot account for &#8220;human creativity, which always comes as a surprise to us. If creativity didn’t come as a surprise, we wouldn’t need it, and socialism would work.&#8221;
What can work?
Gilder is out with a new book, titled &#8220;<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Life-after-Capitalism-George-Gilder/dp/1684512247" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Life After Capitalism</a>.&#8221; The book isn&#8217;t against capitalism — rather it argues that its critics and many of its defenders get capitalism wrong. The driving force of capitalism is not greed, rather it&#8217;s &#8220;creativity and faith in the future.&#8221;
In the book, which casts doubts on global <del datetime="2023-07-27T23:03:02+00:00">warming</del> boiling, Gilder writes, &#8220;Let&#8217;s assume, hypothetically, that Co2 somehow becomes a problem. Capitalism deals with problems by pursuing opportunities.&#8221;
Socialism deals with problems through more government control.
&#8220;Government mandates and directorates and global resets will not shape the future,&#8221; Gilder predicted in &#8220;Life After Capitalism.&#8221;
&#8220;They can only retard progress, and only so far as we let them, if we live in democratic countries. What will really shape the future is human creativity, and a new wave of technological entrepreneurs,&#8221; he added.
Gilder also warned, &#8220;More than ever in America, we face the prospect of a life after capitalism in its most negative sense: a life of scarcity, deprivation, and fear.&#8221;
And that is exactly what Guterres has to offer: Our time left to save the planet is scarce — so is clean air. So we must deprive ourselves of modern technologies, conveniences, and abundant resources of energy. If you don&#8217;t, everybody you know will die from &#8220;global boiling.&#8221; The experts will save the day.
What a load of bunk. Socialists never change, but the words they use to sell their ideology does.

President Joe Biden&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/aoc-wants-credit-for-bidens-green-energy-agenda-let-her-have-it" target="_blank" rel="noopener">green energy boondoggle</a> keeps getting bigger by the hundreds of billions of dollars, according to a new study.
On Friday, Just The News <a href="https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/energy/bidens-green-agenda-cost-least-600-billion-more-projected-analysis-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that a new University of Pennsylvania Wharton School of Business model predicts that the cost of Biden&#8217;s oft-touted climate change bill — the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hey-neat-spend-1000-on-green-energy-and-the-feds-will-give-you-a-300-tax-credit-to-reduce-inflation-thanks-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Inflation Reduction Act</a> — will now cost the U.S. taxpayers more than $1 trillion.
&#8220;The 2022 Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) contained a range of climate and energy provisions that <a class="link" href="https://budgetmodel.wharton.upenn.edu/issues/2022/8/12/senate-passed-inflation-reduction-act" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PWBM previously estimated</a> to cost $384.9 billion over 10 years,&#8221; Penn <a href="https://budgetmodel.wharton.upenn.edu/estimates/2023/4/27/update-cost-climate-and-energy-inflation-reduction-act" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a press release. &#8220;Since that estimate, newer implementation details have emerged, and the fiscal year calendar has moved to start at FY2023. Our updated estimate for over 10 years (FY2023 – 2032) for just the climate and energy provisions is now $1,045 billion.&#8221;
Much of that comes from subsidizing the &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/shocker-new-york-would-ban-gas-stoves-in-new-buildings-under-potential-budget-deal" target="_blank" rel="noopener">electrification of everything</a>,&#8221; as some have called it. Here&#8217;s exactly what that money will be going toward over the next 10 years:
<ul>
<li>Clean electricity/energy ($263 billion)</li>
<li>Clean Hydrogen ($49 billion)</li>
<li>Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage ($23 billion)</li>
<li>Advanced Manufacturing ($183 billion)</li>
<li>Clean vehicles ($393 billion)</li>
<li>Biofuels ($43 billion)</li>
<li>Energy efficiency ($28 billion)</li>
<li>Agriculture and forestry ($3 billion)</li>
<li>Energy grants and loans ($37 billion)</li>
<li>Air pollution ($22 billion)</li>
</ul>
Who will be in charge of doling that money out? Democratic lackey John Podesta. Will Podesta make sure that all of that money goes toward American companies? It doesn&#8217;t look likely. In March, he said that Chinese companies will have a big part to play in America&#8217;s energy future.
Even Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) took issue with Podesta over the comments.
&#8220;It is beyond irresponsible for someone speaking on behalf of the White House to not only condone but also advocate for sending American tax dollars to Chinese companies,&#8221; Manchin told Fox News. &#8220;That is not consistent with either the IRA or the CHIPS + Science Act, which had widespread bipartisan support due to concerns about Chinese supply chains.&#8221;
That Podesta would want to funnel U.S. tax dollars overseas to the Chinese Communist Party shouldn&#8217;t come as much of a surprise. Podesta is good friends with at least one CCP official, Fox News also <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/bidens-new-clean-energy-czar-highest-regard-ccp-official-called-friend" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> in September 2022.
Other Democratic allies are lining up to make sure they take advantage of the government spending over the next decade. Twice-failed gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams is <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/stacey-abrams-now-throwing-her-weight-around-with-group-advocating-gas-stove-regulations" target="_blank" rel="noopener">now working with Rewiring America</a>, a group that advocates the heavy regulation of gas stoves, arguing instead for electric appliances.
The founders of Rewiring America — Alex Laskey, Saul Griffith, and Ari Matusiak — have made significant money off government funding in the green energy sphere while advocating for policies that benefit their bottom dollar via the non-profit group.
“It’s a shocking amount of money that they’re hauling in with this scheme of theirs,” Tom Pyle, the president of the Institute for Energy Research, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/stacey-abrams-now-throwing-her-weight-around-with-group-advocating-gas-stove-regulations" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> Fox News. “I call it Big Green Inc. It is literally a business for these guys and they cloak themselves in the mantra of trying to save the planet. But, really, this is just very sophisticated self-dealing.”
It appears that the scheme now has more than a trillion reasons to continue, thanks to the seemingly never-ending price increase of the Inflation Reduction Act.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/major-league-baseball" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Major League Baseball</a> is trying to make <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/baseball" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the sport</a> more exciting, but global warming might be doing the league&#8217;s job for it.
A <a href="https://www.scribd.com/document/637331028/Global-warming-home-runs-and-the-future-of-America-s-pastime#" target="_blank" rel="noopener">study</a> from Ivy-League Dartmouth University found that global warming has led to an increase in home runs hit across the league. More than 500 home runs in the past decade were due to climate change, it found.
&#8220;Home runs in baseball &#8230; have risen since 1980, driving strategic shifts in gameplay,&#8221; the study&#8217;s abstract states. &#8220;Myriad factors likely account for these trends, with some speculating that global warming has contributed via a reduction in ballpark air density &#8230; We isolate human caused warming with climate models, finding that &gt;500 home runs since 2010 are attributable to historical warming.&#8221;
The study begins by establishing its fundamentals. In physics, the ideal gas law states that air density is inversely proportional to temperature: at high temperatures, air is less dense, and vice versa. Furthermore, the laws of ballistics state that air density affects the trajectory of a batted ball; in principle, a batted ball will fly farther in less dense, warmer air. With these in mind, the study analyzed more than 100,000 games between 1962-2019 and more than 200,000 individual batted balls tracked by Statcast cameras between 2015-2019, and estimated the number of home runs as a function of temperature.
The study notes other factors that may have influenced the increase in home runs over the years, including different ball construction, the use of performance-enhancing drugs, technological advances, the rise of analytics and data on pitcher tendencies, and changes in training, all of which have coincided with the global warming trend. But the study isolates these factors out of its data, as well as the well-noted variable field dimensions and geography of individual ballparks, and the fact that baseball season happens mostly during spring and summer, when temperatures rise on average anyway. It also excluded domed stadiums, which were not affected by ambient temperatures.
The study found that a temperature increase of 1 degree Celsius during a game increased the number of home runs by 1.96%. The effect was higher for early afternoon games, a 2.4% increase, and lower during night games, an increase of just 1.7%. The effect was the same for both home and away teams. The results were unaffected by controls for wind speed, though it may have been because there is no effective measurement for wind speed and direction in the parks; they were similarly unaffected by humidity, which has only a minor effect on air density; or by precipitation, since games are called off in inclement weather. The study also controlled for other impacts of temperature, like heat stress on pitchers; those control models found that temperature&#8217;s effect on home runs is mostly from the effect on air density.
In summation, the study concluded that climate change resulted in a decrease in home runs between 1962 and 1995, then an increase from 1995-2019. Between 2010-2019, global warming led to 58 additional home runs per season, and 577 over the decade. The change was driven by policies meant to curb pollution, leaving greenhouse gas emissions as the primary driver of climate change, accelerating home runs.
However, the impact was small. &#8220;Other factors such as changes in the height of the stitches on the baseball appear to have been more important in driving recent home run trends,&#8221; the study says.

Despite this, the study projected that home runs will increase with future global warming: for every degree increase in global temperature, it projected an average of 95 more home runs per season. By 2050, that number would increase to 192 more home runs per year, and 467 by 2100. &#8220;Strong climate mitigation&#8221; keeps the increase to just 130 per year by 2100.
Absent climate mitigation, the study recommends playing all MLB games at night, or adding domes to stadiums, to reduce the effects of global warming. It also recommends altering pitching strategies, game management, and bat composition.

It would appear the end of the world has been postponed long enough for former child environmental star <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/greta-thunberg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Greta Thunberg</a> to be awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of Helsinki.
The 20-year-old <del datetime="2023-03-21T21:21:23+00:00">global warming </del><del datetime="2023-03-21T21:21:23+00:00">climate change</del> extreme weather activist will be <a href="https://notthebee.com/article/greta-thunberg-is-being-awarded-an-honorary-doctorate-in-theology-from-helsinki-university" target="_blank" rel="noopener">receiving the prestigious award</a> thanks to the faculty in Helsinki&#8217;s theology department.
It is a bit too on the nose that Greta (she&#8217;s achieved enough of a &#8220;celebrity&#8221; status that she can be known on a first-name basis) will be receiving a theology degree. As observed by many, climate change has become a new secular religion, some would even say it is a cult.
That climate cult comes with its own doomsday predictions and signs of the end times, which always seem to get moved or never materialize — such as failed-presidential candidate Al Gore&#8217;s 2006 prediction, &#8220;Within the decade, there will be no more snows of Kilimanjaro.” 
The &#8220;snows&#8221; are still there and so is Gore hyping up climate change around the globe.
So what has Greta done to earn this degree? Well, she stared down former President Donald Trump that one time at the United Nations:

University Of Helsinki Professor Martti Nissinen told a Finnish newspaper, &#8220;By selecting Greta as an honorary doctor, we are expressing our desire to be as brave and impactful as she is.&#8221;
So next time you call Greta, you might want to watch your manners and call her Dr. Greta. Or just ignore her like most wise people seem to do.
Whatever the case, based on past false prophecies by Greta, Gore, and more, Helsinki&#8217;s class of 2023 can be sure that Greta will be at their 2053 reunion. God knows the planet will still be here, with a new weather apocalypse forecast.

Greta Thunberg

Have you ever sat at work while drinking a burnt cup of coffee-turned-lukewarm and wondered what exactly you&#8217;re working so hard for in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">President Joe Biden&#8217;s</a> economy?
Well, if you are blessed with employment in this <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/inflation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">inflation nation</a>, you know that a giant chunk of change is taken out of your paycheck each week to support items such as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/meads-joe-bidens-energy-policy-is-the-embodiment-of-america-last" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ol&#8217; Uncle Joe&#8217;s vision of a green energy utopia</a> that will never come. The chief promoter of that new world order is a certain John Kerry — a Boston Brahmin wannabe who is<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/how-much-are-taxpayers-paying-climate-czar-john-kerry-he-wont-say-but-one-gop-senator-is-demanding-answers" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> paid an unknown amount of money</a> by U.S. taxpayers each year so he can luxuriously travel the globe to push that agenda.
He has defended his use of private jets because he sees it as essential to carrying out his mission and hopes to offset his <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/08/05/john-kerrys-private-family-jet-took-16-trips-this-year-alone/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">carbon emissions </a>via his activism. The Left wants you to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-admin-in-december-banning-gas-stoves-entirely-its-a-real-possibility-here" target="_blank" rel="noopener">give up your gas stove</a>, but they need their airplanes because their lives are more important than yours.
Per his latest appearance in Davos at the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-world-economic-forum-meets-in-davos-this-week-heres-what-to-expect" target="_blank" rel="noopener">World Economic Forum</a>, his work is so crucial — and so misunderstood — that he had to pat himself and his elite colleagues on the back for &#8220;saving the world&#8221; from climate change because nobody else will do it for them.
Not a joke!
&#8220;When you stop and think about it, it&#8217;s pretty extraordinary that we — a select group of human beings because of whatever touched us at some point in our lives — are able to sit in a room and come together and actually talk about saving the planet,&#8221; Kerry gushed on Tuesday. &#8220;I mean, it&#8217;s so almost extraterrestrial to think about ‘saving the planet.’&#8221; 
Kerry added, &#8220;If you said that to most people, most people would think you&#8217;re just a crazy, tree-hugging, leftie, liberal do-gooder &#8230; but really that&#8217;s where we are.&#8221;

Of course, well done is better than well said, which is to say that the husband of the heiress to the Heinz ketchup fortune has done a miserable job.
For example, Kerry hasn&#8217;t had any luck <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/john-kerry-blames-recent-covid-bout-for-failed-climate-change-talks-with-china" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrangling the Red Dragon of the Chinese Communist Part</a>y, so instead, he bullies third-world countries.
Consider that last year, he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jetsetter-john-kerry-asks-worlds-poorest-to-cut-back-on-oil" target="_blank" rel="noopener">asked the Democratic Republic of Congo</a> to withdraw from auctioning off certain blocks of oil and gas to combat climate change. He also told other poorer nations to pick their choice of fossil fuel by making a sacrifice for the so-called greater good of the world.
“We are not saying no gas,” Kerry <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/climate-czar-john-kerry-warns-africa-natural-gas-bring-power-millions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> at a conference in Dakar, Senegal, in 2022. “What we are saying is, over the next few years, gas replaces coal or replaces oil.&#8221;
China, meanwhile, <a href="https://www.saltwire.com/atlantic-canada/business/china-coal-output-in-dec-slips-on-covid-rises-to-record-in-2022-100814883/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">barreled</a> ahead to produce a record amount of coal in 2022. In turn, it seems that Kerry&#8217;s CCP counterpart has barely answered his emails. America&#8217;s climate czar also blamed a bout of COVID in November for another round of failed talks with China.
So, it isn&#8217;t going great. What could help? Another form of &#8220;green.&#8221;
Kerry&#8217;s solution to getting more countries on board to save the planet is to throw more money at the problem. Well, actually to quote him precisely, it&#8217;s &#8220;money, money, money, money, money, money, money.&#8221;

You are going to be taxed out of the wazoo so you can help Kerry give away &#8220;money, money, money&#8221; to all his Davos pals, courtesy of your federal government, to stop the planet from maybe getting warmer sometime down the road.

A startup run by an environmentalist likened to a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bond-james-bond-he-him-future-007-could-be-non-binary-producer-says/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bond villain</a> is intentionally polluting the skies with sulfur in a dubious bid to block sunlight and ease <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-global-warming-protesters-vandalize-one-of-worlds-most-iconic-art-masterpieces/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">global warming</a>, according to a top scientific journal.
Make Sunsets, which was founded by a California man named Luke Iseman, is launching weather balloons that release sulfur into the stratosphere in an effort to reflect more sunlight back into space, <a href="https://www.technologyreview.com/2022/12/24/1066041/a-startup-says-its-begun-releasing-particles-into-the-atmosphere-in-an-effort-to-tweak-the-climate/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to MIT Technology Review</a>. But critics say the science behind Iseman’s scheme, which he calls geoengineering activism, is flawed and could backfire.
“We joke slash not joke that this is partly a company and partly a cult,” Iseman, who previously founded a <a href="https://www.boxouse.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">now-defunct company called Boxouse</a> that made homes out of shipping containers, told the journal.
Critics fear the endeavor could have unpredictable consequences, and could possibly cause major upheaval and even “geopolitical conflicts” in affected regions. The company is launching the balloons from Mexico, where the publication reported it can evade serious scientific oversight. Make Sunsets is trying to monetize the operation by selling “cooling credits,” according to the report.

Iseman said he expects to be condemned and that “making me look like the Bond villain is going to be helpful to certain groups.” But he claimed such radical intervention is needed to confront the threat of global warming.
“It’s morally wrong, in my opinion, for us not to be doing this [and] to do this as quickly and safely as we can,” he said.
Scientists told the publication Iseman doesn’t know what he’s doing, with one likening his effort to a Chinese scientist’s decision to use CRISPR to edit embryonic DNA even as the ethics of such a step were being debated.
“The current state of science is not good enough … to either reject, or to accept, let alone implement” solar geoengineering, Janos Pasztor, executive director of the <a href="https://www.c2g2.net/c2g-mission/">Carnegie Climate Governance Initiative</a>, told MIT Technology Review. “To go ahead with implementation at this stage is a very bad idea.”
Iseman’s radical scheme may have been foreshadowed by David Victor, an international relations expert at the University of California, San Diego, who warned in a <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/meet-the-amateur-scientist-who-discovered-climate-change/">2018 Wired article</a> that a rogue actor might try to geoengineer the climate.
“A lone Greenfinger, self-appointed protector of the planet and working with a small fraction of the [Bill] Gates bank account, could force a lot of geoengineering on his own,” Victor said, referring to the villain in the 1964 James Bond movie “Goldfinger.”
Iseman said his first two balloon launches occurred somewhere in the Mexican region of Baja California. He admitted he has no idea what happened to them or what effect they may have had because the balloons carried no monitoring equipment.
“This was firmly in science project territory,” he said, adding: “Basically, it was to confirm that I could do it.”
He said Make Sunsets intends to increase the sulfur payloads, add monitoring equipment, and publish data for future launches. The effort could be funded by the sale of $10 “cooling credits” for each gram of particles released into the stratosphere. He claims each gram can offset a ton of carbon.
Kelly Wanser, executive director of SilverLining, a nonprofit that supports research efforts on climate risks and potential interventions, said buying credits from Iseman would be a foolish investment.
“From a business perspective, reflective cooling effects and risks cannot currently be quantified in any meaningful way, making the offering a speculative form of ‘junk credit’ that is unlikely to have value to climate credit markets,” Wanser told MIT Technology Review.

President Joe Biden&#8217;s climate czar <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=john+kerry+dailywire&amp;rlz=1C5GCEM_enUS998US998&amp;oq=john+kerry+dailywire&amp;aqs=chrome..69i57j0i22i30j69i60l3j69i64l3.2392j0j4&amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;ie=UTF-8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">John Kerry</a> is having a tough time wrangling his Chinese counterparts to come to the table on climate change hysteria.
On Thursday, Kerry — a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jetsetter-john-kerry-asks-worlds-poorest-to-cut-back-on-oil" target="_blank" rel="noopener">known jet setter</a> and Biden&#8217;s &#8220;dear friend&#8221; — blamed his recent inability to have any concrete conversation with the communist country on a recent bout of COVID.
Kerry told The Washington Post&#8217;s Sally Buzbee that it would be &#8220;great&#8221; if U.S. taxpayers could help foot the bill as a major &#8220;contributor&#8221; to climate change reparations for Third World countries. He also said that we need to &#8220;demand&#8221; nations such as China start negotiations.
When Buzbee asked whether or not China would oblige, Kerry tossed that dream up on a wing and a prayer.
&#8220;I would hope,&#8221; the typically dour-faced failed presidential candidate responded. &#8220;I would hope.&#8221;
Buzbee simply responded, &#8220;Okay.&#8221;
Perhaps Kerry realized that hope isn&#8217;t a strategy and instead offered up an excuse.
&#8220;I mean that&#8217;s — we will, you know, we&#8217;re — we picked up the conversation with China in Sharm,&#8221; Kerry said about a recent diplomatic mission to the COP27 meeting in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, in November.
Yet those communications were foiled by the Chinese Virus — as it is known outside the Beltway.
&#8220;Unfortunately, you know, I got COVID in the last few days, and we had to — we couldn&#8217;t quite finish those conversations,&#8221; he explained.
&#8220;Right,&#8221; Buzbee said.
&#8220;But we will continue,&#8221; he claimed.

Well, The Washington Post&#8217;s audience might not realize it — but Kerry&#8217;s latest alibi is more of the same.
China has eaten his lunch ever since he stepped into his <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/how-much-are-taxpayers-paying-climate-czar-john-kerry-he-wont-say-but-one-gop-senator-is-demanding-answers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mysterious, tax-dollar-funded office</a>.
Consider that in September 2021, Kerry flew to China to discuss potential deals regarding the climate.
As <a href="https://www.voanews.com/a/usa_us-politics_us-climate-envoy-kerry-gets-cold-shoulder-china/6219223.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">explained</a> by Anders Corr, a longtime China observer and publisher of the Journal of Political Risk, “the Taliban got a better reception” from the Chinese Communist party than Kerry did.
A delegation from the Islamic terrorist group met with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in person during the summer of 2021.
Kerry had to meet with a CCP underling via video chat.
Corr <a href="https://www.voanews.com/a/usa_us-politics_us-climate-envoy-kerry-gets-cold-shoulder-china/6219223.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called</a> it a &#8220;diplomatic snub&#8221; and a &#8220;joke&#8221; at the U.S.&#8217;s expense.
The comedy tour continued as China <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/china-approves-15-gw-new-coal-fired-power-h1-research-2022-09-28/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ramped up</a> its coal production capacity in 2022  — even as Kerry begged the world to heed his warnings.
Kerry&#8217;s CCP equivalent, Xie Zhenhua, doesn&#8217;t seem all that interested in Kerry&#8217;s courtship.
Here&#8217;s a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/09/climate/john-kerry-xie-zhenhua-cop27.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">brutal assessment</a> from The New York Times of how the pair&#8217;s relationship has fared since springtime: &#8220;Mr. Kerry, who has known Mr. Xie for 20 years, has said he spent the summer and fall emailing Mr. Xie without much response.&#8221;
They did meet briefly three times while in El-Sharm, but alas, it seems that pesky COVID ruined an otherwise embarrassing display of America&#8217;s dwindling soft power over our enemies.
In the end, all America&#8217;s unelected climate envoy can do is &#8220;hope&#8221; and fret about &#8220;the survival of the planet&#8221; while lecturing the entire globe that the world &#8220;desperately needs to come together&#8221; on this issue.
Maybe if his remarks wind up shared on the Chinese-backed app TikTok, he can finally get the message across to the country he says we &#8220;<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/oct/25/john-kerry-china-return-climate-talks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">need to get</a>&#8221; on board with the Biden administration&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/meads-joe-bidens-energy-policy-is-the-embodiment-of-america-last" target="_blank" rel="noopener">green energy utopia</a> that will never come.
