Global Warming Petition Project.

Thanks to Robert Wenzel @ Target Liberty.  Michael Shellenberger–I hadn’t heard of him until today.  Excellent analysis of the waste in costs and the damages to the environment caused by renewable fuel sources, like wind and solar.  His project of Environmental Progress looks like a worthwhile organization to support.  

Jordan B. Peterson endorses Bjorn Lomborg.  From what I can tell, Lomborg concedes, perhaps for the sake of argument, that global warming, aside from the changes in the seasons, is a real phenomenon and performs a cost analysis and shows how poorly cost-effective the different global warming programs are.  

A Prepper’s Guide to Cold Weather.

Posted Sunday, August 11, 2019.  From Martin Armstrong: 

During the last hundred years, the temperature increased by about 0.1°C because of carbon dioxide. The human contribution was about 0.01°C”. This has been collaborated by a team at Kobe University in Japan, which has furthered the Finnish researchers’ theory: “New evidence suggests that high-energy particles from space known as galactic cosmic rays affect the Earth’s climate by increasing cloud cover, causing an ‘umbrella effect’,” the just-published study has found, a summary of which has been released in the journal Science Daily.

Jim Ostrowski brought this to my attention today on Facebook.  Ira Einhorn, the leading light of the Environmental movement in the 1970s, died on April 3, 2020.  What was interesting was that Arlen Specter (1930-2012) was Einhorn’s lawyer and was able to get the bail set for a 1st-degree murder charge reduced to $40,000, of which Einhorn only had to pay 10% of it, meaning $4,000.

It is a Rubicon moment because what they’re telling us is that if we don’t submit to their insanity, put the masks back on, believe the Covid nonsense, believe the climate change hysteria while they’re lighting forest fires everywhere that they’re just going to keep doing this until they burn the world down.  That’s the Davos crowd.  The Neocons are doing the same thing over Russia/Ukraine.  And they’re 2 different factions.  They have similar goals when it comes to Russia, but they don’t have similar goals when it comes to everything else.  Davos realizes that if they don’t get control of the United States, maintain political control over the United States, and get control over the monetary system in the U.S., they will be footnotes in the history books and they will all be frog-marched into bankruptcy because it’s very clear that the U.S. oligarchs of this particular variety are done with these friggin people and they’re cranking up the pressure on them daily.  Powell represents them.  I’m not saying that these guys were good guys.  There are no allies in geopolitics, only interests.  We have allies.  We have interests in common with New York and Wall Street and the blue striped-shirt guys with white collars that summer in the Hamptons. And I think everything changes dramatically after Labor Day.  I think as we get into the end of Q3 and everybody does some Q3 end-of-the-quarter book squaring and then October and everybody says, “You know what?” That was fun.  These markets are mispriced.  I’m shorting the bond market.  Because this stuff is insane.  It’s not just our bond market.  It’s clearly Lagarde over at the ECB is doing yield curve control.  You can draw a horizontal line through the French 10-year yield on a weekly basis, the German 10-year yield on a weekly basis, the Spanish, the Italian, all of them, draw a line, cross, that the line in the sand that Lagarde won’t let rates above that.  Most obvious one is the German 10-year yield at 2.5%.  She can only maintain that for so long until everything starts to blow apart.  That’s indicative of what is going to let loose.  I think that Powell and company can continue to put upward pressure on rates, so they are continuing to hold the long end of our yield curve down.  At some point, people are going to be looking at this and going, “These things are mispriced.”  And when that happens, the whole thing starts to go Looney Tunes.  While Powell was speaking this morning, before he started to speak, the Euro was down below $1.80.  The minute he started talking, the ECB went into overdrive to try and stop the Euro from closing below $1.80 for the next hour.  Your homework, folks: watch a 5-minute chart of the Euro.  Go to Investing.com.  Go to Five-minute Candlestick Patterns, and you’ll see what I’m talking about.  You’re seeing a market having a heart attack.  If it was an EKG, the patient was on its way to a dirt nap and we’re going to close the day well below a $1.08.  Powell definitely has them by the short and curlies, when you think about yield curve inversions, what’s going on, why is the U.S. yield curve inverted?  Because the market is trying to anticipate when the Fed is going to pivot and go low.  If they realize they can get 5.5% on 3-month money, but I can bid up 2-year money to 4.2% because I think in 2 years the Fed is going to be at 3.75% and I’m going to make more money on the appreciation of the bond than I bought at 4.25% while I pocket 4.25% that’s the mindset that that’s going to be better than the yield spread that I would get between the 2-year and the 3-month.  That’s why they’re doing it.  That’s what you do when you have a core economy and a monetary policy of that core economy matters.  They’re going to anticipate what the monetary policy is going to look like.  Does that happen across the world?  No, it doesn’t.  Go look at like Vietnam.  We see a frontier market trade the same way in the face of the Fed wanting . . . the markets are still pricing Europe as if it’s a developed market in a core economy when they should be pricing it as a frontier or emerging market.
