Caught Off Guard: Pritzker Left Speechless on Women’s Restroom Question Amid Sanctuary City Testimony

By Nancy Thorner - 

There is so much real news, yet the media babbles on about climate change, so the globalist, one-world agenda keeps going forward. Consider this article:  Alert: Climate 'Lockdowns' Coming Soon — Welcome to the NWO   

The globalist elite are calling for the equivalent of a coronavirus-pandemic-scale lockdown once every two years to tackle climate change.

“Under a “climate lockdown,” governments would limit private-vehicle use, ban consumption of red meat, and impose extreme energy-saving measures, while fossil-fuel companies would have to stop drilling,” according to various reports. 

“As COVID-19 spread earlier this year, governments introduced lockdowns in order to prevent a public-health emergency from spinning out of control. In the near future, the world may need to resort to lockdowns again – this time to tackle a climate emergency,” wrote Mariana Mazzucato, a professor in the Economics of Innovation and Public Value at University College London and the author of Mission Economy: A Moonshot Guide to Changing Capitalism, in October 2020.”
 
“Carbon dioxide emissions must fall by the equivalent of a global lockdown roughly every two years for the next decade for the world to keep within safe limits of global heating,” wrote The Guardian’s Fiona Harvey in March 2021. Back in November 2020, Harvey wrote that in “most countries government intervention is needed, either to regulate to force people and businesses to undertake improvements.”
 
The G20 and climate change
 
Five things the G20 must do to tackle climate change says the Financial Times' Gillian Tett, who starts by outlining some welcome news (for climate change warriors, if not energy investors), carbon emissions fell more than 5 per cent in 2020, primarily due to collapsing oil consumption.  Maybe we can get a Great Depression style collapse and really cut carbon emissions.  Tett does her best to get us there with this insanity:
 
“First, the finance ministers must collectively embrace a steadily rising carbon price and tax….Second, the G20 must also demand China backs away from coal, which provides the majority of its power (the country accounts for more than half of global consumption)…Third, rich western countries must get serious about helping poorer nations make the transition to green energy…Fourth, the G20 must take a blindingly obvious step: foster collaborative research into technologies such as carbon capture, hydrogen-based fuels and battery storage. Nuclear must be on the menu too (her only concession to energy reality—G.N.) …Fifth, consumers need to be mobilized in the climate change fight.”  
 
What about heat wave in the Pacific Northwest?
 
The nonstop tub thumping for “Global Warming”, excuse me, “Climate Change", for many decades keeps getting more frantic.  Heat wave in the Pacific Northwest was due to “climate change”,which is ridiculous if your assumption is that it was caused by humans.  But every extreme is due to human activity, don't you know.  "According to Climate Scientists, Europe’s bitterly cold April would have been colder if it hadn’t been for climate change, so we must step up our effort to fight global warming.” 
 
What about Wimbledon?
 
Is Wimbledon threatened by Global Warming?
 
Professor Stephen Belcher, the Met Office’s chief scientist, commented:  “All the available evidence points towards the fact that our climate is changing: we have already seen aspects such as extreme heat, and the worse is yet to come.”
 
“The UK has not recorded temperatures of more than 38.7 °C.  However, our climate projections show temperatures of 40.0 °C or more are possible at Wimbledon even during future tournaments, posing considerable challenges for the health of players and spectators. Climate change will affect every facet of our lives, including the sports we love to watch. Wimbledon Environment Day is a reminder that society has very little time left to keep the temperature of our atmosphere within sustainable limits.”
 
“A rather fatuous statement, given that tennis is already played in much hotter conditions than Wimbledon around the world, without health problems. Indeed, most players I suspect would rather be somewhere else on a cold, damp day on Court 14!”
 
“But as the Met Office’s own data shows, UK summers are not actually getting hotter.”
 
What about Surfside Florida Condo collapse?
 
Did climate change cause the Florida Condo collapse? 
 
“Buildings collapses seemingly out-of-the-blue are rare, but they have happened before. Often, the causes can be linked to the degradation of building materials by natural weathering, or age. Sometimes they may be due to the underlying ground shifting or subsiding. It is well known that land can subside and compact under the weight of large buildings, or if moisture evacuates from beneath the surface."
 
“Some experts say it might be years before the immediate cause of this building failure is known. That did not stop others from immediately speculating that climate change may be the reason for the building collapse, specifically pointing to global or local rises in sea level.”
 
What about cow mandates to catch methane burps?
 
Agriculture giant Cargill Inc. will start selling methane-absorbing wearable devices for cows, putting its support behind an experimental technology that could help the industry cut greenhouse gas emissions.
 
“The mask-like accessory was developed by U.K. startup Zelp Ltd., which claims it can reduce methane emissions by more than half.”
 
“Cargill said Tuesday it expects to start offering the devices to European dairy farmers in 2022. The companies haven’t set a price yet, but Zelp says an annual subscription fee may start at about $80 a cow.”
 
“Tackling methane emissions from livestock is one of the most critical—and most difficult—climate issues for meat and dairy companies that are under increasing pressure to clean up their supply chains. Having access to Cargill’s vast customer network could help Zelp secure demand as it prepares to roll out a product that’s still under development.”
 
What about preparing for cooler weather?
 
There may not be a climate change extreme coming that we need to prepare for, such as the mini-Ice age of the Dalton Minimum of the 1790-1830 era.  Nothing like that can be confirmed, but sunspot evidence indicates we will cool a few degrees in 20 years or so.  And Human beings will have nothing to do with this.
 
Shouldn’t we be studying how to lower energy and food costs now to prepare for even a slight dip in temperature.  The elites’ solution is a vast die off to save Gaia (Greek word for Mother Earth), never fusion or thorium power or room temperature super conductivity or a host of other life-saving technology.
 
In the meantime, scam the public with all sorts of schemes by crony capitalist firms in the name of “Climate Change”. 
 
What about Cyber Polygons?
 
All this “Climate Change” propaganda wasn't working well before Covid.  Our ruling elites need another event to speed the drive to One World Government, something new and greater.
 
Cyber Polygon is a unique cybersecurity event that combines the world’s largest technical training exercise for corporate teams and an online conference featuring senior officials from international organizations and leading corporations. This project is part of the World Economic Forum’s Centre for Cybersecurity.
 
"Every year, the training brings together global businesses and government agencies to collaborate on technical exercises. The live stream draws in millions of spectators from across the world."
 
The live-streamed discussions held on-line on July 9th, 2021, centered on the secure development of ecosystem, to build upon and test the skills needed to protect our industries, centering on a targeted supply-chain attack
 
The global elitists tested what a massive cyberattack that takes down infrastructure and the power grid worldwide would look like.
 
Cyber Polygon event of 2019 
 
“Event 201” was an exercise organized in October 2019 to simulate what might happen if there was a severe pandemic.
 
"It was run by the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security in partnership with the World Economic Forum and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation."
 
"It invited people from business, government and public health to simulate coordinating a policy response to a theoretical pandemic."
 
"The simulation was based on a coronavirus, but that doesn’t mean the organizers knew about the one that causes Covid-19. The first known cases of Covid-19 weren’t publicly identified until December 2019, although media reports of unpublished data suggest that some early cases may have been infected in November that year."
 
The organizers said: “The players’ responses to the scenario illuminated the need for cooperation among industry, national governments, key international institutions, and civil society, to avoid the catastrophic consequences that could arise from a large-scale pandemic.”
 
"At the time, Event 201 was not covered widely by the media, but it was covered. In the UK it appears the Telegraph was the only major outlet to report on it."
 
Concluding thoughts
 
Government sponsored climate research is paid to those scientists who agree with the government position that climate research is real, but not to non-government sponsored research that holds other positions, facts like supporting little to no climate change and that no correlation can be made to man-made vs natural occurring.
 
Climate change, after all, is a feature of climate as proven over years, decades, centuries, millenniums, in fact, for the entire history of the planet.
 
Furthermore, very many climate experts and economists challenge the trillions of $ that are being proposed to combat change will be both ineffective and a lousy return on the investment.
 
The argument that the science on climate is both settled and closed is bogus. Science is never settled.  It is always a moving target, as we make more and more discoveries about science and other global events.
