Marc Morano criticizes IEA’s fuel consumption reduction guidance as ‘climate agenda’ –
ClimateDepot.com executive editor Marc Morano discusses the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) new guidance on reducing fuel consumption amid the war in the Middle East on ‘The Bottom Line.’
Because maybe I got this wrong. But I was looking at that, IEA stuff. These guidelines, and there might have been guidelines for individuals, but it looked like they were also putting out guidance for governments to consider, is where your concern is.
Marc Morano: To paraphrase the words of Al Pacino, just when you think we’re out of the climate agenda, they pull us back in.
You have not only the IEA, which is, by the way, the International Energy Agency, but it has been hijacked by climate alarmists — for years, they’ve been all in on net zero — promoting this, you have also a Reuters news analysis, and climate activists. They are treating the Iran war as though it’s a version of the Green New Deal. They’re excited. Every time Iran blows up someone’s energy infrastructure, they look at this as an opportunity to literally do the exact same things they were proposing for the green new deal for net zero and COVID, with stay-at-home orders.
What’s happening here is they’re using the same tactics of fear, their fear-mongering about an energy crisis that hasn’t even happened yet. And they’re turning that into, ‘we have to proactively turn our whole economy toward net zero like we’ve been saying for decades with the climate agenda.’
All these activists are rooting for Iran to do more destruction to energy infrastructure and keep the Strait blocked so that we can go after fossil fuels. To be clear, Reuters said the Iran war was a ‘fossil fuel killer’, and that we can now use this to move off of fossil fuels. They’re just that excited about this whole war for that reason. …
Higher energy prices are not a bug of the climate agenda, they are a feature. So any hike in energy prices is exactly what they always wanted. So you can see why they’re giddy at the moment.
Donald Trump has destroyed — and I mean, obliterated the green agenda in a little over a year. They are now just regrouping and trying to use the Iran war to resurrect themselves.
