The Climate Change Hoax

Unpacking the American Climate Corps.

Karl Michael Season 1 Episode 37

Is the American Climate Corps a genuine effort to combat environmental challenges, or is it just another costly government ploy? Join host Karl Michael and guest Patrick Scott as we challenge the mainstream narrative on climate policies and expose the potential consequences of the Biden administration's latest executive order. We question whether planting trees and building trails is really the answer to our climate crisis, and explore the economic implications of diverting funds from the private sector to government programs. This episode promises a critical examination of the true motives behind the American Climate Corps and its potential impact on job creation and economic growth.

Together, we scrutinize the controversy surrounding the Willow oil project and the role of influential groups like the Sunrise Movement and NextGen America. With claims that the US has faced an increased number of costly weather disasters, we question if these assertions are being used to justify flawed economic strategies. Are these government initiatives truly driven by environmental concerns, or are they attempts to expand governmental control under the guise of climate action? Get ready for an eye-opening discussion that challenges the conventional wisdom of climate change policies and invites you to reconsider the narrative you've been told.

Speaker 1:

The Climate Change Hoax. If you're suspicious that this climate change stuff may be exaggerated or just total BS, you've come to the right place. Welcome to the Climate Change Hoax Podcast With your host, carl Michael. Here you'll learn the truth about the deceivers who want you to believe we can actually control the weather. We cannot. The real goal is to control you. This is the climate change hoax.

Speaker 2:

And greetings crisis deniers. Well, pat, welcome back to the show. Yeah, it's been a while. Well, looks like the Democrats have learned absolutely nothing from the eight-year-long disaster they created in the 1930s. Recently, after Congress said no to the regime's New Deal-style climate program, they did it anyway through executive order. It's a stupid, costly program that will supposedly employ more than 20,000 young adults. They'll build trails, plant trees, install solar panels and other do-gooder projects that will have little to no impact on the climate and could even take jobs away from others looking for work. Now the Socialist Democrats and environmentalist wackos pushed Biden into issuing an executive order that authorizes what is now called the American Climate Corps.

Speaker 3:

The Democrats believe the way to solve a problem is to create a government program and throw money at it. This way of thinking is flawed and could never work, and here's why. For every job that the government creates requires government resources to pay for that position. Government resources are the taxes we pay. In other words, for every dollar that the government spends, it's taking a dollar and charging that and taking it from the private sector. This deprives the private sector of the necessary capital to promote economic growth. The more the government spends, the more the government takes from us. Now you add the climate change alarmist policies that greatly reduce our ability to utilize a substantial number of natural resources right here at home. This raises the cost of the number one greatest influencer of our economy fuel and energy. Fuel and energy. In two short years, the Biden administration has single-handedly spent more money than any president in our history, causing 30 plus percent inflation, signed negative oil and gas regulations that have raised the cost of doing all business in this country, which can be seen in every product sold.

Speaker 2:

Absolutely right, and you know, after Biden approved this huge oil rig called Willow, opponents of the program claimed it put his climate legacy at risk and was a breach of his 2020 campaign promise to stop new oil drilling on federal lands. Supporters of this thing are being led by the Sunrise Movement. You ever heard of those guys? Can't say that I have. You probably don't want to know them anyway. They're a bunch of liberals, but they're claiming the program will put a new generation to work, stopping the climate crisis, because everybody knows, if you plant trees and build trails, that'll immediately stop the climate crisis. Right?

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, anyway, the head wacko over at the Sunrise Movement said this the path towards a Green New Deal is beginning to become visible. The president of Next Gen America said this Do you know those guys? No, I kind of do. Anyway, the president of this organization said this. He says young people nationwide are excited to see the launch of the American Climate Corps and, by the way, nextgen America. They started out in 2013 as a bunch of climate activists. I've been kind of watching these guys for a while, but guess what? They shifted their focus to promote registration and mobilization for young voters. Well, the young mush, the mush. I wonder if there's a connection there. The mush, I wonder if there's a connection there. This climate core had been proposed along with other hidden programs in that stupid Inflation Reduction Act. That was anything but. But this climate core was given the boot after strong opposition from Republicans and concerns about costs. House Republicans have rightly called it a socialist nightmare that would raise taxes and hamper this already struggling economy.

Speaker 3:

See, this American climate court is doomed to fail because the government doesn't create jobs. They only create a higher tax burden on the private sector, where that's where only real jobs and economic growth is possible. Yep, the Democrats cite the reason for this program is that US has experienced 22 weather or climate disasters in 2020, which is an increase of six from the previous annual reports. Of course, they measure these events in dollar cost, meaning, in 2020, they say we have experienced $22 billion disasters. But with all things, democrats, you need to know what they are not telling you a phenomenon known as the expanding bullseye effect, the bullseye effect, what is that?

Speaker 2:

The?

Speaker 3:

bullseye effect is basically this, and if you want to know more about this, you'd need to read the book False Alarm by Bjorn Lomberg. I'll probably butcher that he's a visiting professor at Copenhagen Business School and visiting fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institute, but it's basically this. So the climate impact will result in more costly disasters, not because climate change is causing more weather events. It's basically as population increases and development takes up a greater proportion of total land, especially in high risk areas, the potential is high for these weather events will hit somewhere in that bullseye right A much greater chance. This is the reason why Democrats measure the cost and not the actual number of actual events.

Speaker 3:

As an example that was given in the book, the coastal cities of Florida, even in 1990, wasn't not all that heavily populated. However, since then, the coastal population has increased like 67 fold, meaning going from less than a quarter a million to over 16 million in 2020. You can see this is a convenient. This is convenient for the left, right, right, because even though the strength of hurricanes remain unchanged, there would still be far more damage done now because of this expanded bullseye.

Speaker 2:

Yep, yep. And this money for these programs? At least 10 states will be competing for a piece of the EPA's four point six billion dollar grant EPA's $4.6 billion grant. They are California, colorado, maine, michigan, washington, arizona, maryland, minnesota, north Carolina and Utah. With the exception of Utah, no-transcript. What are the chances some of this money ends up in Democrat campaign funds?

Speaker 3:

Probably pretty high.

Speaker 2:

You know Biden's critics. They bitched about the approval of this willow that I mentioned earlier, but now all is forgiven because of the new jobs program, and that's all it is, folks. It's a jobs program modeled after the Civilian Conservation Corps and WPA of the 1930s, created by another Democrat with a talent for handing out federal dollars at the right time, you know, just before elections and in the right places. His name Franklin D Roosevelt.

Speaker 3:

You know the Democrats consider FDR's New Deal a success, specifically that Civilian Conservation Corps. The aim was to give unskilled young men the opportunity to work on, you know, things like prevention of forest fires, planting trees.

Speaker 2:

That sounds awful familiar.

Speaker 3:

Pest and disease control, construction maintenance, repair of paths, trails and fire lanes in the national parks and forests. The problem is the Democrats lie. It was not a success. Fdr took office in March 1933. The unemployment rate was 25.3%. Over the next few years, fdr's administration would implement the new deal. Programs that were supposed to simulate the economy and reduce unemployment sound familiar. Oh yeah, yep, yep, uh claims. You know, much like biden's inflation reduction act, where the government spends 500 billion dollars on things like reducing carbon emissions and growing the size of the internal revenue service and improving taxpayer compliance, all of which has zero impact on reducing inflation. Actually, it has the opposite effect, totally opposite effect. So FDR's New Deal it had zero effect on unemployment.

Speaker 2:

By the end of 1939, the unemployment rate was still above 15%. Well, on May 6th 1939, henry Morgenthau, then Treasury Secretary, confirmed to Roosevelt that his New Deal to stop the Great Depression was a complete and total failure. Well it was, he told Roosevelt, quote we are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work. I say, after eight years of this administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started and an enormous debt to boot.

Speaker 3:

That's where we are today. Yep, we've spent even more money. The climate crisis is a hoax. Absolutely. Any climate program that the government creates will be one more nail in our republic's coffin Absolutely.

Speaker 2:

Well, pat, you can bet your ass, the Democrats will cheat in the next election cycle, no doubt, but it will be much harder. So they're going to try Roosevelt's vote buying scheme, but this time under the guise of climate action. Well, pat, thanks a lot for being on the show. We'll have you back from time to time. And thanks for thanks, for thanks for the 20 bucks. I appreciate that.

Speaker 3:

I enjoyed it.

Speaker 2:

Cheers.
