Earth Day’s Anti-Fossil Fuel Focus Could Plunge Millions Into Green Energy Poverty(erf day!)

Today marks the 47th Earth Day. At this year’s high-level celebration at the United Nations headquarters in New York, the Paris Climate Agreement will officially be signed.

Thirty days after its signing by at least 55 countries that represent 55 percent of global gas emissions, the agreement will take effect—committing countries to establishing individual targets for emission reductions with the expectation that they will be reviewed and updated every five years.

While news reports of Earth Day 2016 will likely depict dancing in the streets, those who can look past the headlines will see a dire picture—one in which more than 10 percent of a household’s income is spent on energy costs; one of “green energy poverty.”

Ruh Roh! So, thirty days from the "historic" signing, the countries involved will start thinking about coming up with a plan to set some sort of un-achievable goals that most common every day people don't give two s--ts about. On the other hand, the investors who are in cahoots with the warmunists will be laughing all the way to the bank. Don't you love the smell of dung fires in the morning from the dismal little shelter you built. But don't violate any epa rules or zoning regs when you build it.

Was in a corporate training class yesterday. The instructor mentioned earth day. So, me being the politically incorrect, stir stuff up just to do so, kind of guy I was, I asked if the instructor would mind if I shared a bit of trivia about earth day.

She said I could.

So, I mentioned Ira Einhorn, co-founder of earth day, was a murderer who killed his girlfriend and fled to Europe to escape prison, and that earth day was deliberately founded on April 22 to coincide with Vladimir Lenin's 100th birthday. A few folks in class smiled knowingly, others, the hippie types, got flustered looks on their faces.

They can't fire me, though, I'm the only one who knows the code for the payroll system. At least, that's what they've been led to believe. ;-)

Today markes the 146th year since the birth of Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, alias Lenin. He was a Russian communist revolutionary, politician, and political theorist.

If there is any doubt about who this day was intended to honor !!!

The oligarchy is counting on general poverty for the masses and the elimination of middle classes which are the center of competition with the elites for control of the world’s resources. Without the small businesses of the middle class the world belongs to the great corporations and to the totalitarian politicians.

LOL! Yeah, I used to get enjoyment out of challenging instructors in our corporate training as well. And I DIDN’T have the code to payroll. A common comment after class from co-workers was “Why do you have to be such a smart ass?” Because I could.

Hold on to your leverage.

Can I say to turn on all the lights. That is the statement I’ll make this evening. Every light in the house will be on.
