In September of 2023 I wrote a thinking person’s analysis of global warming for AND Magazine and Chet Nagle’s Now Hear This. It is titled “Climate Change Lies.” However, since Biden announced a freeze on new Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) export permits from the United States, it is time to revisit global warming, aka the Climate Change Hoax.

On the 26th of January, the White House briefing website released Biden’s statement about freezing LNG export licenses, and it included the sentence: “This pause on new LNG approvals sees the climate crisis for what it is: the existential threat of our time.”

Why would Biden make such a nonsensical decision? Is it because ending our LNG exports will have a dramatic impact on global warming? We got a good hint about White House thinking when the New York Times noted that before the LNG export decision was made the White House team met with Alex Haraus. Is Alex an economist, scientist, or LNG expert? No, he is a social media Gen Z influencer who campaigns against drilling in Alaska, the Gulf of Mexico and anywhere else.

Why was a 25-year-old influencer invited to the White House? Simple – the White House team desperately wants him to tell his Gen Z’s to vote for Biden, even if it means choking our LNG industry and putting thousands of Americans out of work. Our seaborne energy exports are now 4 million barrels per day, an all-time high. How important are those LNG and crude exports to our European allies, besides helping them survive winter and avoid a recession? The graph below explains it.

Those rising black bars represent American gas exports to Europe. If the Obama/Biden administration’s plan is to curtail Russia’s supply of LNG to Europe, then increasing U.S. exports of LNG is a better idea for a peaceful Europe than blowing up Russia’s North Sea pipelines.

The Washington Times made it clear that the coming election is the reason for Biden’s decision by quoting him: “MAGA Republicans willfully deny the urgency of the climate crisis…” and, “We will heed the calls of young people and frontline communities who are using their voices to demand action from those with the power to act.” So it now looks like our European allies will freeze this winter and pay higher prices for energy – at least until the 5th of November.

There are other “climate” decisions by the Obama/Biden administration that bear examination. Like giving John Posdesta, Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager and now special advisor to Biden, control of some $370 BILLION in “clean energy investments.” Imagine Podesta’s opportunities to reward the political support of Alex Haraus and his legions of Gen Z global warming believers.

Now let us return those facts about global warming that media, scientists and universities receiving subsidies and grants won’t tell you.
