Argentina: New Climate Leader!

By Robert Bradley Jr. -- May 21, 2025

“The grand opportunity is not only to leave climate alarmism and forced energy transformation in the dust. It is also to elevate the private and public wealth of Argentina with expanded private property rights and free markets. Let’s go!”

The rating of “critically insufficient” by Climate Action Tracker makes Argentina an international climate leader in 2025. President Javier Milei is putting people and greenery ahead of the Climate Industrial Complex in his country, offering a sound example of economic and environmental policy for other countries in the region.

Here is the good news (described as bad) by Climate Action Tracker (CAT):

Under Argentina’s new government, progress in developing and implementing climate policies has taken a step backwards. Among the restructuring and budget cuts in the national public administration, Argentina’s former Ministry of Environment has been demoted to the sub-secretary level, and the continuity of its previous climate policies remains in doubt.

By Robert Bradley Jr. -- May 20, 2025

“There’s a time and a place to platform climate deniers, and it’s never and nowhere.” (- Benjamin Leffel, professor, University of Nevada Las Vegas, below)

It began with this post from UNLV’s climate alarmist/activist Benjamin Leffel. previously profiled at MasterResource.

Fun bringing together some of the top minds on China and climate change during my visit to Berkeley, my friends Nan Zhou, Jingjing Zhang (Berkeley Lab), Weila Gong (California-China Climate Institute ) and Kaihui Song (Energy and Resources Group | University of California, Berkeley).

Crony Alert: Jigar Shah at ‘Climate Solutions’ Dinner in Seattle

By Robert Bradley Jr. -- May 19, 2025

Climate Solutions, “accelerating the transition to our clean energy future,” has its annual dinner this Tuesday night. This is your chance to visit with leaders of the Climate Industrial Complex, rich and bossy with a strong desire to pick the pocket of local, state, and national taxpayers.

With billions of DOE dollars held in escrow, Jigar Shah will provide the latest coordinates of where the gold bricks landed that were thrown off the Titanic. No talk title was given, so I’ll suggest one: “Monetizing the Unearned: Podesta/Biden Energy Policy by the Billions.” This refers to the Inflation Reduction Act’s $27 billion Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, $20 billion of which was rushed out the door with Trump’s electoral victory. Shah was at the controls of the legal looting.

Here is the official announcement:

Climate Solutions is excited to hold our Annual Dinner event in Seattle on Tuesday, May 20, 2025, 5pm-8:30pm at the Westin Seattle with guest speaker Jigar Shah.
