As the Biden Administration and tyrannical central planners across the globe continue with their push to control people’s lives through an overbearing "climate change" agenda, implementing socialism under the guise of saving the planet, the human cost of their lunacy is becoming increasingly glaring.
When a brush fire ripped through the Maui town of Lahaina in August, traveling a mile a minute, water to keep it from advancing was unavailable. “Access to water should be predicated on ‘conversations about equity,’ according to the Hawaii official under fire for delaying access to water during the Maui wildfires,” the New York Post reports. "M. Kaleo Manuel, former deputy director of the Hawaii Commission on Water Resource Management, waited for more than five hours to release water during the wildfires that devastated Maui.”
The local government still claims the death toll is just north of 100 souls, but at least 1000 people are still “missing,” many of them children.
On the global stage, former Secretary of State and Biden Climate Czar John Kerry is playing with fire by targeting the agriculture industry.
“Cutting greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural production is essential to the global fight against climate change, U.S. climate envoy John Kerry said on Wednesday,” Reuters reported in May, “Agriculture generates 10% to 12% of greenhouse gas emissions globally, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The food system as a whole - including packaging, transportation, and waste management - generates a third of global emissions, according to a 2021 study published in the academic journal Nature Food.”
“‘We can’t get to net zero, we don’t get this job done, unless agriculture is front and center as part of the solution,’ Kerry, the special presidential envoy for climate, said at the AIM for Climate summit in Washington,” the report continues.
The essential component to human life, food, requires emissions. It's a basic cost of humanity. Wind and solar energy aren’t getting food out of the ground and to the market. Oil and gas do this successfully, preventing famine.
We’ve already seen this dangerous, nightmare experiment play out in Sri Lanka.
In April 2021, Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa banned all chemical fertilizers, citing the need to cut down on emissions for the sake of fighting “climate change.” It was, and still is, a complete disaster.
Forced conversion to organic farming caused an economic collapse and a crop shortage.
“Farmers say their livelihoods are under threat and for the first time in its modern history, Sri Lanka, which usually grows rice and vegetables in abundance, could run out of food as harvests drop and the government can no longer afford the food imports the country has become overdependent on in recent years. The rice yield dropped to 2.92m tonnes in 2021-22, down from the previous year’s 3.39m, and the speaker in parliament last week warned of imminent starvation among the island’s 22 million people,” The Guardian reports.
But starvation isn’t the only human suffering the climate fanatics are willing to inflict on the population. They justify slave labor currently used to build solar panels in China and to mine rare earth minerals in Africa. In the United States, President Joe Biden and his bureaucrats are working to take away gas stoves, air conditioning, and cheap natural gas. All of these things make the human condition better and life affordable for the average person, which is why the left is working overtime to banish them — not for themselves, of course, but for those they rule over.
Kerry and his ilk have made it clear human suffering and death is just part of the agenda and a necessary cost to meet their “climate change” goals. If they aren’t stopped, much like communism, this central planner push for control will cause suffering and death for hundreds of millions, if not billions, of human beings around the world.
