from CFACT Collister Johnson In recent years, the argument that carbon dioxide is a “pollutant” has been at the heart of climate public policy in developed countries. The demonization of carbon dioxide affects nearly every aspect of modern Western civilization.

from masterresource Author: Robert Bradley Jr. “Are #ESG and climate hysteria also part of a subversive campaign that attacks democracy and the principles of capitalism? Is ESG just a front for socialism to seize corporations and kill capitalism from within? “If anyone thinks a more community-spirited version of capitalism can be produced through more state intervention, please read animal farm George Orwell writes again.
