Rough Transcript:
Question: All right, is coal going to make a big comeback?
Clean coal? Of course, six twenty four is our time
Marc Morano joins us with the Climate Depot. I know
there’s some environmentalists out there who don’t believe there’s such
a thing as clean coal. Could you set them straight
on that mark?
Morano: Yes. If you go back to the First Earth Day in 1970, coal plants were a problem. They had brought cities from across the American Northeast to soot and smog and horrible air quality.
We’ve now had massive technological advances, massive improvements. The modern-day coal plants are not even a shadow of their former selves. There is such a thing as clean coal that removes all harmful pollutants and chemicals. Now the big thing about coal isn’t really pollution anymore. It’s about carbon dioxide. So the reason in recent years all these countries from across Asia and Europe have been getting rid of all their domestic coal production is so they can meet accounting tricks with UN climate goals dealing with global warming, and that put them in very vulnerable position.
And that’s where we are right now. Because coal is the most national security-friendly energy source, period. By the way, America is the Saudi Arabia of coal, and we have more coal than anyone else in the world that we can access if we want to. And the thing about coal is it’s a local issue. It’s not a global market. So no matter how much oil the United States produces, unless we nationalize our oil industry, we are subject to the global price. So if there’s a conflict in the Middle East, our gas prices are going to go up. Other oil-related prices are going to go up. And because of that, coal really shines during a time of conflict and war.
Question: Marc, I saw where several scientific groups now are
starting to come out and they’re backing off on their
apocalyptic view of climate change and admitting that, yeah, no,
we aren’t really killing the planet. The planet’s not going
to die. We’re going to be pretty much just fine.
Are you surprised that we have scientists they’re finally willing
to come forward and say that, And you think the United Nations, the UN will ever step up and say, well,
we’ve got to take a look at the science and
admit that this all those climate alarmism is really a great,
big lie.
Morano: The UN is never going to say that because they are a self-serving lobbying organization. The UN formed a climate panel nineteen eighty eight with the goal of saying how carbon dioxide is destroying the Earth. If they fail to find, a global warming emergency, they fail to have a reason to exist. And not only do they get to do the scientific conferences, they get to do the solution.
They get to be in charge of the global carbon taxes; they’re trying to impose one on shipping. They get to be in charge of all these UN climate agreements. So what’s happening here? And this is very significant. As President Trump tweeted out, – Truth Socialed about this.
The UN has climate models. So think of polar bears. Polar bears are at historic population highs. They’ve never counted this many. Even the indigenous people of the Arctic say they’ve never seen this many polar bears.
But guess what, for years we’ve been told polar bears are going extinct. That they are in the most dire situation. How are they claiming that? When current reality failed to alarm, they made scarier and scarier predictions about the future.
So what’s significant here is the UN Climate Panel is now acknowledging that these climate models using extreme scenarios are not plausible, they’re not valid, and they’re going to stop using them, which means all the doomsday climate literally evaporates overnight. And this is a shocking, shocking development because this was invented by Tom Steyer and Michael Bloomberg. Hank Paulson, all these billionaires got together in 2012 at Tom Steyer’s house, and they said, “How do we make climate feel real?” See: Climate Cooking: ‘How a few billionaires (Steyer, Bloomberg & Paulson) helped push climate science to the extremes’ – April 13, 2024
In this whole scenario of extreme climate modeling, extreme climate predictions came out of a billionaire’s idea of how
to impose a climate emergency on the world. And now it took what fifteen years, and we’re coming out of the haze of this nonsense, even the UN saying they’re not going to do these extreme climate predictions anymore.
Host: Thank god, Marc Morano, thank you for your time as always, sir,
take care. That’s from the Climate Depot, Marc Morano.
