The Dumbest Read of the Week, Courtesy of 'Climate Power'

I have all manner of stupid crap flowing into my email inbox every day, most of it from communications agents hoping I will read their pitch and write about it on one platform or another. Far and away, the dumbest and most pernicious stuff comes from consultants working for the leftwing climate alarm conflict groups.

Consider this the first installment of what I plan to turn into a weekly feature here at Energy Transition Absurdities. Assuming it doesn’t just completely slip my mind as so many other things do each week, I will try to remember to share one of these ridiculous things with you each Wednesday from now on.

So, our inaugural Dumbest Read of the Week comes to us courtesy of [checks notes] one Eden Alem, who I’m sure is a perfectly nice person working for a conflict group that calls itself “Climate Power.” Just for grins, I decided to go check out the outfit’s home page, and the first thing I get is this irritating damn pop-up ad promoting the Biden “clean energy plan”:


So, right off the bat, we get the essence of any leftist conflict group, which is promoting and perpetuating conflicts that need not exist for the sole real purpose of raising money from gullible people.

Way to go, Eden! You rock!

Next, let’s go take a look and see who is on this group’s National Board of Advisors!

Shocking!

Often to conserve energy I bypass idiotic conversation.

I think we should get a few of those ‘cliff dwellings’ in CO setup for the hardcore climate activists. They can stay there, with very limited environmental impact, at least for a week or so.

Or maybe for the rest of their lives, which might be the result anyway. These cretins don't understand the natural environment of anywhere, any place nearly as did our 2nd century predecessors.

^^^^^

Hahaha

They’re doing it wrong. This is one of the few times I found actually help them out and make a difference

Michigan says "Hold my Beer" and opts to sue 'Big Oil' for climate change. I wonder how this daffy bat is going to prove this, or quantify it. While she is at it, why didn't she sue Canada for the fires last year that wrecked outdoor activities last summer.

Lansing — Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced Thursday her intention to sue the fossil fuel industry for its role in changing Michigan's climate and threatening the state's environment, infrastructure, health and economy.

The oil and gas industry profited while knowingly selling products that cause climate change, Nessel’s office said in a document disclosing the coming lawsuits. The industry also deceived the public about climate change, Nessel alleged, leaving the state with the expenses of adapting to and recovering from the effects of warming.

"I don't know that there's a bigger issue facing the state of Michigan than climate change," Nessel said in an interview with The Detroit News. "We are talking about billions and billions of dollars in damages and we're already starting to see that on a day to day basis. We know this is only going to get worse."

^^^^ If she doesn't know about bigger issues than climate change, she and her ilk, need their heads examined. How about crime, schools, etc.? Idiots, the lot of them.

^^^^^^
Because she is unsuccessful in any major case.A lot of Sabre rattling.

When she took office and dismissed all cases involved with the Flint water crisis saying her office was filing bigger and better cases this is what came of that, from the Detroit News last fall.
Lansing — Attorney General Dana Nessel's office is ending its pursuit of criminal prosecutions over the Flint water crisis after seven years of no convictions, a decision that came Tuesday after the Michigan Supreme Court rejected an attempt to revive charges against Republican former Gov. Rick Snyder.

The Flint prosecution team of the Democratic attorney general — led by Chief Deputy Attorney General Fadwa Hammoud and Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy — said the Flint water cases are now "closed." Snyder, whose administration appointed the city managers who oversaw Flint's change of water sources and the subsequent lead contamination, said he was encouraged by the Supreme Court decision and vowed to fight against future "political persecutions.
The Supreme Court's decisions in the case are "heartbreaking" and have been based on procedural flaws and not on the actual merits of the prosecution, the prosecution team said.

“If a jury decided that the defendants were not guilty of the charged offenses, so be it," the team's statement said. "To deny the opportunity to present the evidence and to let the victims tell their story is truly heartbreaking.

The prosecution of state and Flint officials began in 2016 under then-Republican Attorney General Bill Schuette, who was criticized for politicizing the Flint water crisis during his failed 2018 campaign for governor. Nessel's office took over the cases in 2019 and unsuccessfully pursued criminal charges against Snyder, two of his top aides and other members of his administration.

Snyder said Tuesday he planned to work toward ending "political persecutions" by electing prosecutors with a "moral compass."

"I wish this dismissal would represent the end of political persecutions in Michigan forever," Snyder said in a statement. "Unfortunately, the only way to end political persecutions would require electing attorney generals and prosecutors who believe in facts, have a moral compass, and act with civility."

The two-term governor's statement did not name the prosecutors he was criticizing.
