The phase change in the Climate Apocalypse Trade rolls on, and the US leads the way
Already some US ‘grassroots’ organizations are having an existential crisis. Actually, the Sierra Club has been struggling for three years, but no one wanted to mention that.
Francis Menton at the Manhattan Contrarian points out the extraordinary collapse of the largest US environmental group, the Sierra Club:
The Sierra Club is in the middle of what might well be called an implosion. The New York Times reported the story on November 7. Excerpt:
The Sierra Club calls itself the “largest and most influential grass roots environmental organization in the country.” But it is in the middle of an implosion — left weakened, distracted and divided just as environmental protections are under assault by the Trump administration. The group has lost 60 percent of the four million members and supporters it counted in 2019. It has held three rounds of employee layoffs since 2022, trying to climb out of a $40 million projected budget deficit. . . . [T]his year, as the Trump administration returned better organized and better prepared than in its first term, the Sierra Club was the opposite. While Mr. Trump boosted coal power, canceled wind farms and rolled back pollution limits, the club was consumed by internal chaos, culminating when the board fired its executive director, Ben Jealous, a former president of the N.A.A.C.P.
No doubt some of the pain is due to Donald Trump, and the DOGE effect, but a lot of this was an inside job with help from the cheer-squad-media. The Sierra Club forgot it was supposed to care about the environment and jumped into all the crazy lefty bandwagons they could find. As they ran off the road, the media cheered them on, and censored anyone who tried to tell them how the real world works. Thus and verily, they went double or nothing over Lemming cliff.
Proving even the Green left can “Go Woke, Get Broke”:
The Sierra Club Embraced Social Justice. Then It Tore Itself Apart.
By David A. Fahrenthold and Claire Brown, The New York Times
During Mr. Trump’s first term, when the Sierra Club was flush with donations, its leaders sought to expand far beyond environmentalism, embracing other progressive causes. Those included racial justice, labor rights, gay rights, immigrant rights and more. They stand by that shift today.
By 2022, the club had exhausted its finances and splintered its coalition.
It drove away longtime volunteers who loved the club’s single-minded defense of the environment, by asking them to fully embrace its pivot to the left. Some even felt they were investigated by the club for failing to go along. Many hard-core supporters felt the Sierra Club was casting aside the key to its success: It was an eclectic group of activists who had one, and sometimes only one, cause in common.
The club hired Mr. Jealous, its first Black executive director, that year to stop that slide, but his tenure accelerated it as accusations of sexual harassment, bullying, and overspending piled up.
Another casualty is 350.org which has lost revenue and suspended operations
And then there is 350.org. This organization is the baby of uber-climate-activist Bill McKibben, with the “350” supposedly designating some limit of ppm of CO2 in the atmosphere that must never be exceeded, or else . . . something may happen that they think is really, really scary. (The current level of CO2 in the atmosphere is approximately 424 ppm.). On November 13, even as COP 30 was going on, 350.org “suspended operations.” From Politico, November 13:
Environmental group 350.org, which spearheaded the movement to block the Keystone XL oil pipeline, will “temporarily suspend programming” in the U.S. and other countries amid funding woes, according to a letter obtained on Thursday by POLITICO. . . . The letter to outside organizations from Executive Director Anne Jellema said 350.org had suffered a 25 percent drop in income for its 2025 and 2026 fiscal years, compelling it to halt operations. The group will keep three U.S. staff members in hopes of reviving operations in the future.
In the US, the giant UN climate event in Brazil wasn’t even on the news.
“…were you even aware that this year’s COP 30 happened? In a piece today for the Civitas Institute, Steven Hayward notes that not one of the American television networks sent reporters to this year’s event. Coverage in the American print and online media was also dramatically reduced. Hayward writes, “A few reporters at the conference filed stories wondering whether this would be the last COP meeting.”
It appears that since Donald Trump didn’t go, the US TV networks didn’t bother sending camera teams.
I can’t remember a COP meeting ever, where anyone discussed how it might be the last…
I wonder what the cost would be to send a US TV camera team to one of these parties of the conferees? Maybe the legacy media are also focusing on the bottom line.
As to the “350” group, it was only ever a source of entertainment for skeptics. The Sierra Club has a more difficult history to evaluate. But, as with the United Nations, I’ll not weep at its demise.

Who supported this girl?

Hilarious, and pathetic, all at the same time.
80
Fed by the MSM and grifting political class.
The ugly conclusion is coming. Predictable but seemingly unavoidable.
Any sane parent would remove her from the grasp of “causes” and friends without morals.
60
Her parents aren’t sane, and they are using her vicariously for the fame they failed to achieve in their own entertainment careers.
Mind you, she isn’t sane either, is almost certainly suffering from fetal alcohol syndrome, and was driven nuts by her alcoholic mother and drug addict father.
80
Yeah. I am 74 years old and this has been going on ever since I was a teenager.
I used to buy their calendars because of the gorgeous pictures, but then I found out what they were really all about.

Shakespeare would be ‘jealous’ of such clever prose: ‘Thus and verily they went double or nothing over Lemming cliff.’ But the point was well made as the sooner they destroy themselves the better.
470
I agree about the phrasing. I think Jo has gotten better and better over time.

I am constantly pointing out to my wife how Jo’s wry and clever sense of humour really adds to her productions. No matter how serious the subject is, she can still inject some humour with her clever phraseology.

Good one Beth. You should send that to the Libs as that describes them to a tee.
20
Back in 2007, we were told of a coming vast climate apocalypse. Which, on no account may be questioned. To be skeptical was virtual heresy. In 2025, if you aren’t asking questions, you must be on the take. Or simply a bit of a thickie!
10
And there is a lot of talk in the media that the sea levels are not rising (dramatically). Given man made CO2 driven Global Warming supposedly started in 1750, where is all this disaster from sea level rise? Not at any dock I have seen in hundreds around the world. And given that half of Bangladesh is under 1 metre above sea level, we would have noticed. So 37 years since we were told cities would be drowned, how much worse will it be in double that time, 74 years? CO2 has gone up linearly and the rise in sea levels should be accelearating. But where?
I saw one Youtube video asking was Science wrong? No, Science never said what Climate Scientists said. But people who have heard this story since they were children are starting to ask the obvious question. And anyone who has a favorite beach, dock, river with buildings can go there and answer the question themselves.
There is a real chance that the utter failure of every single prediction of disaster from the end of Polar bears,penguins, cairbou and drowned cities are obviously wrong. Not a little exaggeration but completely wrong. As for deforestation, how many people have actually been along the Amazon or Siberia, the great forests of the world? Plus the phytoplankton in the ocean surface, the greatest source of oxygen on the planet from before there was even life on earth.
So it will likely end like this. People just walking away increasing numbers from a scare which simply has run out of time. And no one is going to pay the UN $42Billion a year on their tax on bunker oil. Or pay into their $150Billion Climate Fund.
However in Australia, it will take a real DOGE effort to rid the country of all the punitive carbon taxes and farming and mining restrictions if we want to pay of the $2Trillion debt run up by politicians.
The $2Billion on COP31 is nothing compared to all the waste and the hundreds of thousands of public service jobs to enforce more and more punitive carbon taxes on Australians. Direct and indirect massive Carbon taxes and mining and farming climate based non science restrictions which we promised by all politicians would not exist. They lied.
731
As for a shortage of Gas in Victoria, when is someone going to say drill, baby drill? And frack, baby frack. Plus convert coal to town gas, as we did for over a hundred years. Free energy. Zero distribution loss. Zero distribution cost. No more transmissions lines. No more Canberra control of electricity.
511
In 1957 I started taking the train from Muswellbrook to Sydney to attend boarding school. I remember the huge tanks in Muswellbrook and Maitland that held the coal gas. They rose and fell within their steel cages as their contents filled or emptied. Looking out the windows of my steam powered train I could see progress and industrial activity as it crawled through Hamilton and Broadmeadow. We were a country on the move in those days. It was an exciting time to be alive. My father had a small dairy out of Denman and could afford to send me to school, buy a new diesel powered Ford tractor (twelve monthly payments to Theiss Bros) and a new Holden car without going to the bank. How far we have come. Dairies are few and far between, are huge operations and we import some milk products from overseas. Boarding school fees cost the average wage, tractors and cars are better but greatly more expensive, bureaucrats run the country and politicians are ignorant of even the most simple science. Irrigation dams are used for environmental flows and farmers are restricted in how much water they can harvest on their own land as well being told what trees they can harvest. We are crippled with red and green tape and the fasted growing sector is the least productive, the bureaucracy.
Thank goodness the end is nigh. As Churchill said “Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.” There is still much to do but it will be done.
540
“I remember the huge tanks in Muswellbrook and Maitland that held the coal gas”. When I grew up in the north of England we used to call those huge tanks Gasometers and every town had 1 or 2.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SopJr0yHt-w
210
Melbourne had many gasometers. The original one was Port Melbourne. Melbourne was plumbed for gas decades before electricity. Gas for everything. And the original gas was from coal shipped from Newcastle, landed at the Lagoon pier in Port Melbourne next to the gas works. We solved problems in those days. Today bureaucrats spend their time shutting everything down.
And England imports wood chips for the DRAX power plant which used to run on coal. And the reason is ‘the science’, which is a nonsense as lawyers like to say. There is zero science behind this hatred of coal by truly ignorant people. And it’s a terrible ignorance, because they are true believers. The seas are rising, the cities are drowning, the oceans are boiling, the Polar bears are dying, the sky is falling, the Climate Change is upon us.
300
But it’s fine. Federal minister for the weather, Chris Bowen assures us that with enough sacrifice, taxing carbon dioxide, net zero and shutting the country down with his skilled direction, we can build Climate Fortress Australia, a sort of Bowen’s Arc. We just need to believe. And keep paying.
280
And I am conflicted. Either our Minister for Climate and Energy truly believes he is Gaia’s Archangel, sent to save Australia from Climate Change, whatever that is and no matter what the cost. Or he is a self important utterly self indulgent opportunist who cares nothing for Australia. His personal promotion to President of COP31 leads me toward the second.
340
Not to mention the sacrifice of all those public servants in his ministry. Especially the secretary, Michael Kaiser. Previously failed state Labor politician who was involved in a branch stacking controversy. He was rehabilitated by the Labor Party in 2003 and served as its Assistant National Secretary in the lead up to and during the 2004 federal election. In July 2025 Kaiser was appointed as the Secretary of the federal Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water by Anthony Albanese on a salary package of $930k p.a with a 5 year contract. We’re definitely paying him.
270
Mike Kaiser was first sent to London to head the Queensland Government Trade Office and when he returned to Australia was given a senior executive position at NBN Co.
70
TdeF re ‘Archangel’ or ‘opportunist’: There is a third option – a deliberately destructive vandal. Likewise his colleagues. This seems most consistent with their behaviour.
70
Not just Melbourne, my great grandmother’s house in Albury was all gas when it was built in 1908.
Gas lighting, gas heating, gas cooking, gas hot water.

Fracking is banned in the Victoria constitution!!!!! It has no place in a constitution, b ut when a Green gets their way they like to make sure that no-one can ever undo the damage.

There is not ONE verified proof of global boiling. Not one. It is a failed hypothesis. The trouble is ruinable grifters and useful idiots like this alp/greens government BELIEVE in it. Moses could descend from Heaven with the 11th Commandment: Global Boiling is false and thou shall not believe in it; and still blackout would arrogantly say its true. The problem its advocates are now making fortunes from it or have so much ego invested in it they will continue down this path of wrecking our society. Logic and facts don’t deter them. I really don’t know what circuit breaker will. The SFLs have lost the plot, Pauline doesn’t have the votes yet so this mob of delusional clowns will continue on their destructive way.
Was 350.org responsible for this monstrosity of the exploding kids:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-Mw5_EBk0g
210
Isn’t it ironic that the only “proof” of runaway climate change comes from runaway cooling as the world flips from the barmy interglacial period with temporary inhabit to the cold desert of the glacial period.
So, as we have pretty much come to the end of the current interglacial and anytime soon (a few thousand years) are likely to see a sudden flip to the deadly interglacial … in what kind of insane mind would anyone be worried about warming?
10
Sure is barmy.
00
Sea level has been rising slowly since before CO2 levels increased. This rise is at different rates at different coasts, but the rate at any place has hardly changed since CO2 levels began to rise faster (see http://www.sealevel.info ). So, whatever is causing the rise, it isn’t CO2.
The rate of rise is different at different places because of tectonic movement – or, near large port cities, because of weight of concrete or freshwater extraction from underground.
10
And yet in Oz it rolls on. Nowhere near enough people have been burned yet. Our Political Class – with the exception of a few (count them on your fingers) who have the nouse to see where we’re headed and even less who have the Courage to say it – are taking us down the drain. Political Careers are the problem. If they only had two terms they’d start giving a toss.
Meanwhile Joe Public gets to barrack for his Team once every three or four years (Federal or State terms) and proudly state “My dad was an (A)LP voter all his life, and I will be too!” ***Flag waves, loud barracking continues***

Wonderful news to wake up to, so thanks Jo Nova and let’s hope McKibben and Dr Hansen continue their lunacy and anti-science journey a lot further down the plug hole.
Who would ever believe their stupid message that would leave the USA vulnerable to China, Russia, Iran etc while the USA relied on the TOXIC, UNRELIABLE W & S + BATTERIES rubbish? DUH?
And how do they find the extra RELIABLE, BASELOAD energy to power AI until 2100?
250
All the hard work by all the climate skeptics over a very long period of time seems to be having an effect.
Yesterday we were remembering Viv Forbes.
There have been many others including especially JoNova and all her supporters.
The trigger was Trump pulling the USA out of the Paris agreement but other economic forces are also building up pressure.
The dam wall seems to be crumbling and it is about to give way!
470
The trigger was the rising cost of Nut Zero and the economic damage it is doing. Trump is a symptom and not the cause.
Another contributory factor is Ukraine and the realisation that Russia can now win any war, with the possible exception of nuclear, because between it and China they now completely outstrip the west’s ability to produce the armaments for the war that Russia and China will fight. And, the cause of that … was the Nut zero rising energy costs that destroyed steel and steel based industries in the west which are the bedrock of a large scale war.
00
The Left can’t even manage their own finances, let alone a nation’s when they get into Government as in Australia.
Get woke. Go broke.
330
Notice David my drumbeat; the left never use their money for anything, they always use yours. Stop the flow of taxpayer funds to leftist causes and they will shrivel on the vine. Cut funding to the ABC by 20% and watch it eat itself.

“It’s the Labour Government that have brought us record peace-time taxation. They’ve got the usual Socialist disease – they’ve run out of other people’s money” – Margaret Thatcher, 10/10/1975, possibly borrowing a phrase from Louis Brandeis’ 1914 book “Other people’s money and how the bankers use it”.

Let’s keep asking , where’s our dangerous CC? SLR since 1850 proves the liars and con merchants have lied to us since 1988.
The 2025 Dutch Engineer’s study now shows just 1.5 mm a year since 1850 and yet NASA etc claim 200 mm from 1900 to 2000 or about 8 inches.
The Dutch study finds that the 1.5 mm year would see SLs increase by 150 mm by 2125 or about 6 inches or 50 mm less than NASA’s guestimate for the 20th century.
So where’s their so called dangerous CC, or crisis or existential threat?
Does anyone really BELIEVE their unscientific gibberish anymore?
150
Good news!
But it’s not over yet, I am sure.
There are many – not just in politics – who are making anything from a good living to mahoossive fortunes from this scam.
And it is a scam.
They will want – even need! – to keep your money coming in to their pockets.
They will fight and, possibly, may play dirty.
And I have a worry that ALL the environmental protection – the basic, necessary stuff [not bloody bat-tunnels for UK Trains!] – does risk being thrown out – tarred with the same brush.
That needs to be guarded against.
Auto
140
“They will fight and, possibly, may play dirty.”
No, they wouldn’t, surely not…?
00
“They will fight and, possibly, may play dirty.”
They are doing that already and have been for some time. From the censorship on Twitter before becoming X, to the barrage of mis/disinformation from major media, the political grifting – as per the many suspect and corrupt NGO’s as exposed by DOGE.
The grifters, brainwashed zealots, useful idiots and megalomaniacs will stop at nothing to fight for their grifter cheque or virtuous cause.

Every affluent proclaimed YIMBY I have ever met clams up when I ask him if he is willing to have a residential tower block or a penitentiary or sewage treatment plant built in his neighborhood.
Martha’s Vineyard YIMBY’s showed their true colors when they called in the National Guard to round up a few dozen illegal immigrants after Governor Desantis flew them in from Florida.

Politicians largely constructed the whole climate change pysop and it will have to be the politicians that will stop it. Talking about the science is great, really interesting and academic but the “ scientists” will never reverse the madness. Not on their own. Trump has done wonders and I think even in little ol’ Australia the cracks are appearing.
170
In this recent video Michael Shellenberger explains how the modelers have lied about many of their CC nonsense, like SLR, extreme weather events etc.
But like Lomborg and Dr Curry etc he still thinks Humans could be responsible for some of the recent warming.
But then he also tells us that the warming could be a good thing for us and our world.
But the liars and con merchants are very keen on their models, because they can always manipulate the data.
Just watch the first 10 minutes to begin to understand his arguments.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQYIZpa3bPA&t=2121s
70
“he still thinks Humans could be responsible for some of the recent warming”
He is not entirely wrong. A typical human at rest gives off about 100 watts of energy per day. This energy is primarily lost as heat to maintain body temperature. With about 8.23 Billion people in the world – and a few 60 to 100 W incandescent bulbs plus other stuff … .
I’m fairly sure (“high likelyhood”) all of these heat sources are more important than CO2.
70
The most amazing part about all this is that it takes so long for people to come to their senses. Reality eventually hits home.
Hopefully Bowen & Co will eventually be hauled away kicking and screaming and out of our lives.

Here’s the real coalface of their so called CC data.
Today the NON OECD co2 emissions are booming and the OECD countries’ annual co2 emissions are less than they were in 1988.
This is updated to 2024 and World annual co2 emissions are now 38.6 billion Ts.
The NON OECD are now 26.2 billion Ts per year.
The OECD are now 11.17 billion Ts per year and under 1988 annual co2 emissions.
And Aussies are now 0.387 billion Ts per year, but ending up in our SH co2 SINK or NET ZERO emissions.
80
Here’s the link to countries’ annual co2 emissions up to 2024.
The world trajectory shows no change since 1945, thanks to China, India Asia + other NON OECD annual co2 emissions.
So when will the OECD countries stop and THINK?

Here’s the thing. Now CO2 pollution is projected in BILLIONS of tonnes because it sounds so huge. Take into account the entire atmosphere weighs over 227000 times more than this puny number….but its a BILLION tonnes!!!!!

“Now CO2 pollution …”
Please stop. CO2 is plant food – not pollution.

Bye the bye COP 31 will be the last meeting, without a doubt. This club of Nona’s have knowingly appointed BOBowen as “ the man “ to organise the next meeting.
How we laughed 😂😂😂😂

If you believe, as I do, that The Blob has evolved as a hivemind absorbing the Western elite, Borg style … Climate Change was just a political ploy intended to degrade nation state authority and peasant political rights that nation state legal structures made possible.
So these fear porn activists groups aren’t needed anymore.
They were successful and have run their course.
The Blob is likely on the verge of making their (second) big play for world domination.
(Pandemic almost worked.)
And they are becoming obvious and it’s now or never.
I’m guessing the new one kicks off in the UK.
Sort of already brewing and heading for boiling point … there and in Germany.
Possible cascade across the West.
Just feels like a single key turning point will be forced by circumstance.
Deep State US Democrat Blob Senators just recently walked to the edge of inciting a military coup.
Weird, because Trump probably really isn’t the threat they perceive him to be.
But they’ve gone mad.
And are blind to the fact that the deplorable MAGA people they detest so much, could probably be controlled with just normal politics.
Which will be their eventual downfall, though much destruction will be rendered before it ends.

Since the concentration of CO₂ varies from higher in cities to lower over oceans and the natural environment, how is the figure of approximately 424 ppm derived?

https://gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/trends/

Numerous sites around the world monitor atmospheric gases. Mauna Loa is the best known. An hour of reading will explain what is done there and elsewhere, and how they coordinate.

Derived from models, of course.

It is no longer woke to support the climate scam in the USA. Just a few years ago it was mandatory for an academic or journalist role that the candidate show a strong belief in The Science. Being a member of the Sierra Club was proof of that belief. Being a member of the Sierra Club now not so much. And suddenly climate skeptic is the new woke – look at Bill.
The club has morphed to a race discrimination fighter under the leadership of Ben Jealous. And when you think what wind and solar farms are doing to the environment, it is now wonder the true environmentalists are losing faith.
Ben Jealous has been forced out. When you see his upbringing it is quite obvious that he is focused on racial discrimination. His parents were dating in 1966 and could not be seen in public together. because they were different races. Jealous bought all that baggage to the Execustive Director’s role.
110
COP meeting – guaranteed now Bowen is the President. He will be absolutely certain to mess it up! Joy!
80
My first thought too, Helen. I thought “fantastic” when I heard he had got the job. What could possibly go wrong, apart from everything. He has been the most disaster prone minister this country has ever had. Who can forget his “if you don’t like our policies, don’t vote for us”!
70
Funny how after you (they) vote for them, they come out with policies that you don’t like and never would have voted for had you known.
Richo – ‘whatever it takes.’
50
Bit hard for the faithful to pull out the “oh no’es! We are falling behind” argument now, even if we are. We seem to be one of the few countries clinging to the climate cult beleifs now, with the majority just there to try and harvest money from the gullible countries.
70
Trumps D.O.G.E,cancelled USAID US taxpayers funded woke gullible US DUMBOCRATS corruption, and the NGOs climate alarmists are collapsing across the globe….bwahaha

Yes it has been interestimg to watch multiple woke organisations get quite sickly post USAIDs demise. Some had been struggling for a while, with the funding tap turning being the final nail.

Who would have thought that letting people keep what they earn in a free open law abiding society would work??
These clowns need to be forced to live in socialist government run country, Venezuela, Cuba….Or better still forced to live by their mantra. Everything they earn is equally shared amongst everyone..lol
50
Oil rich Venezuela … so rich in oil it can tell the US where to go … until the US decides to invade to get the oil.
It’s not being socialist that is the problem … it’s having the guts to run the country for the people of that country and not as a puppet to supply oil to the US.

I looked up Mr Jealous, late of the Sierra Club. Why was he let go? It seems he “ exhibited a pattern of jealousy .” They can’t say they weren’t warned.
20
Their income streams are collapsing because Trump and Musk cut off the USAID fraudulent money stream.
70
BBC’s environment reporter Matt McGrath attended COP30. He described the COP as “no longer fit for purpose”. Wow.
80
The usual figure quoted for the atmospheric concentration of CO2 is 270ppm on a molecular basis. But it might well have been 340ppm; see

NB It might be necessary to find this site on the internet archive.

Conflation with real pollution with global warming >climate change >climate crisis was a big part of their undoing. But that made it easier to sell to a largely scientific illiterate public. People are willing to get passionate about real poluution. CC became the flagship, because it was seen as the golden goose. But it was always flimsy, so it had to be hyped up more and more to keep the cash flowing. Since it did not happen after 45 years, people are starting to realize they have been had.
31
Thank you, GOD.
31
NEXT?
The UN.
30
The names are getting weirder. A climate scientist called fudge and now the Sierra Club has an in-fighting crisis because of a guy called Ben Jealous. It’s all just a weird dream, I hope.
