Climate Alarmists Don’t Want You to Know This

The climate change activist movement is one of the most powerful and committed groups in the world to their cause. Many of them believe the world is going to end in the next decade if radical action isn’t taken NOW. They want the world, especially the United States, to be off fossil fuels. This would do major damage to our economy and weaken our position in the world, which is their goal.

The climate change crowd got outraged when the United States made the correct decision to withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord in 2017. This made President Trump the top enemy of their extreme and anti-capitalist agenda. The agreement was ineffective since it set a low bar for reducing CO2 emissions for China and India. The agreement would have little impact if those countries didn’t clean up their act.

If you listen to the rhetoric from the Left, you would think the United States is the only problem. The international community is always quick to point their finger and blame us first. Climate activists are in for some big surprises for who is leading the world in reducing CO2 emissions and won’t like the facts since it doesn’t fit the globalist narrative.

The U.S. proved you don’t need entangling and complicated international agreements to make progress on climate change. A study out of the Paris-based International Energy Agency stated the U.S. is leading the world in declining CO2 emissions.

The United States saw the largest decline in energy-related CO2 emissions in 2019 on a country basis — a fall of 140 Mt, or 2.9%, to 4.8 Gt. US emissions are now down almost 1 Gt from their peak in the year 2000, the largest absolute decline by any country over that period. A 15% reduction in the use of coal for power generation underpinned the decline in overall US emissions in 2019. Coal-fired power plants faced even stronger competition from natural gas-fired generation, with benchmark gas prices an average of 45% lower than 2018 levels. As a result, gas increased its share in electricity generation to a record high of 37%. Overall electricity demand declined because demand for air-conditioning and heating was lower as a result of milder summer and winter weather.

The European Union, Great Britain, and Japan also saw significant reductions. The reduction of coal use combined with the increase of natural gas has been a significant factor in this progress. Wind and solar increasing their output, but they aren’t close to providing enough energy.

The biggest offenders are in Asia where there was an 80% increase in CO2 emissions. This isn’t surprising since there was an increase in demand for coal. Japan is setting an example for lowering emissions by getting their nuclear power use back to previous levels.

Climate activists are in for some big surprises for who is leading the world in reducing CO2 emissions and won’t like the facts since it doesn’t fit the globalist narrative.

The climate change movement should be celebrating achievements made by the United States. It’s even more impressive that we are reducing C02 emissions during a period of record economic growth with a Republican president. Activists aren’t happy because progress isn’t getting achieved their way. They aren’t open to an “all of the above” approach to reduce emissions and achieve economic growth.

CNN or MSNBC won’t put this story on the top of their pages or broadcasts. It doesn’t fit their anti-Trump and the end of the world is near narratives. We’re in a sad state of affairs when our media promotes a truant high school student from Sweden and not how America sets the example for the rest of the world.
