Al Gore found himself back in the news this week when, inexplicably, he decided that climate change and the 9/11 terrorist attacks made for an appropriate comparison. While deplorable, these tactics should surprise no one. Explosive statements and unsubstantiated claims have become core to the environmental left’s efforts to influence global politics. As the Washington Times reports, the former Vice President’s most recent baseless claim came at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland: ‘The burden to act that is on the shoulders of the generation of people alive today is a challenge to our moral imagination, but this is…

Members of the Extinction Rebellion once again demonstrated their privilege on Thursday during a 13-hour long protest in front of the Shell headquarters in Aberdeen, Scotland. Some 30 members of the radical eco-left group blocked the building’s entrances in order to disrupt the oil giant’s ongoing business. Fortunately, these types of protest are rarely successful and only emphasize the hypocritical positions adopted by environmental extremists. “The more successful fossil fuel companies like Shell are, the worse our future is going to be. We have to stop them carrying on as if their product does no harm.” While shutting down large…

Power the Future has written previous blog posts on the radical group Extinction Rebellion (XR) that has quickly risen to become the most disruptive environmental movement on the earth.

According to The New York Times: “Climate change activists stormed the field at the Yale-Harvard football game on Saturday afternoon, disrupting the game at halftime in a protest to call attention to the universities to divest their investments in fossil fuels. A group of about 70 protesters took to the field just before 2 p.m. after the game’s halftime show. They were then joined…

Extinction Rebellion has had its founder arrested for a plot to fly drones into the airspace at Heathrow Airport in London and its members climb on top of airplanes and trains. Now the extreme group has polluted the Thames River. According to Reuters: “A floating mock-up of a typical British suburban home was seen slowly sinking into the Thames in central London on Sunday in a protest organized by Extinction Rebellion to demand politicians fighting a Dec. 12 general election act on climate change. A white microwave oven bobbed in the water next to the large model house, complete with…

The answer to climate change is controlling the world’s population, according to more than 11,000 “experts” from around the world. Bloomberg reports: “Now, four decades later, a larger group of scientists is sounding another, much more urgent alarm. More than 11,000 experts from around the world are calling for a critical addition to the main strategy of dumping fossil fuels for renewable energy: there needs to be far fewer humans on the planet.” Specifically, these experts recommend reducing the number of people on Earth: “Still increasing by roughly 80 million people per year, or more than 200,000 per day (figure 1a–b), the world…
