Carney's Royal Gamble: All In On His Collapsed NetZero Hustle

“We’ll be eight degrees hotter in 10— not 10, but 30 or 40 years, and basically none of the crops will grow. Most of the people will have died and the rest of us will be cannibals. Civilization will have broken down. The few people left will be living in a failed state like Somalia or Sudan, and living conditions will be intolerable.” Ted Turner on climate change April 2008

Not sure if they’ll do it, but when Mark Carney and King Chuck III next meet they should start with “Got your back, pal”. No two public figures are more invested in keeping their limping Climate Disaster scenarios going than Canada’s PM and the King of Canada.

Who can forget July 2009, when Charles asserted the planet had 96 months to avoid decimation: “…irretrievable climate and ecosystem collapse, and all that goes with it.” Carney, meanwhile, sees a threat of climate catastrophe so urgent that  “65 percent of all oil and gas reserves and 90 percent of all coal reserves must be left in the ground …. and there is no need for any exploration of new oil and gas fields.”

All of this would be risible except that Carney— and his climate extremist wife— have Canada moving toward financial ruin so their carbon fantasies can all come true. That would be the NetZero emissions by 2050 that 78 companies have already signed up for. They are nothing if not audacious. 

How audacious?  Canadian psychiatrist Jordan Peterson pointed out in early 2025 that Carney’s mission stems from his spectacular NetZero fund failure that resulted in his demotion to the B team at Goldman Sachs. “His international career has collapsed in failure. So now where is he? Might as well go to Canada. You can tell Canadians you are an outsider, and there will be some kind of economic revolution...you can do that while lying about your actual goals; which are Net Zero."

Canadians look at Carney, Peterson added, “and we don’t pay any attention to politics and we certainly don’t read his goddamned book, and so we see someone who looks like a banker from the 1990s, when everything was just fine in Canada and Canadians were just as rich as Americans and the whole country was stable and peaceful.”

Which it no longer is after a decade of Mr. Katy Perry. But presto-change and Elbows Up! Carney was inserted by the Liberals into Canada’s top job to revive his quixotic goal. Soon he was using alleged “climate collapse" to say things like, “The effective carbon price in this country is actually quite low relative to the headline price in the $20 to $30 range in most Canadian markets. And that's something we're working to rectify.” 

WTF? How can you launch a new sovereign fund if you have no surplus funds on hand? Funds that should have been coming from the energy sources you want to leaver in the ground. You’d almost think that sovereign funds was a staple of Goldman’s business portfolio.

Even the most dim Canadians must now recognize that Canada’s is at the forefront of this movement, because the rest of the world has walked away from bankruptcy-by-climate. But the urge  for a Boy Scout Leadership badge is strong in Elbows Up, and thus they keep plugging away, spending your money on their compulsion.

The Toronto Star, loyal as ever to the climate hustle, keeps finding new means to scare the gullible. This time it’s the climate-induced Big Water. ”Residents in Toronto’s flooding epicentre gather to prep for ‘when the Big Water comes’” But they must hector citizens, who have come to realize that the only place the Climate  Hoax exists is in the Media party and the corners of government who are very easily intimidated into funding the operation. 

Like the Vancouver-based climate news site National Observer that is receiving $1.3 million in wage subsidies—enough for 23 full-time salaries—plus $643,743 from the Canada Periodical Fund and $435,400 in government subscriptions, per access-to-information data obtained by Blacklock's Reporter.

Ordinary Canadians ask how carbon dioxide is a silent killer if it has made the world 20 percent greener since they stigmatized the gas. Why the beaches and islands near them are virtually unchanged in the 50 years since they were predicted to disappear. Who is actually benefitting from the NetZero ankle bracelet Carney has slapped on Canadians?

In the United States— where Al Gore famously projected that unless drastic measures were implemented, the planet would hit an irreversible “point of no return” by 2016—  corporations and the average citizen have taken a step back on the threats of imminent peril. Al’s getting off the heat train to nowhere, promising another ice age.

Thank goodness for greenies, Billie Eilish is still on the case. And the wackadoodles in the Congress remain wedded to the hustle. Here a Connecticut congresswoman with purple hair— who has not read the climate law— is lecturing the head of the EPA about that law she has not read to someone who has read it. The entire exercise is so she can call him a climate denier for reducing the budget of the agency. 

Outside of Canada time is running out for climate apocalypse. It’s hard not to get the feeling that Canada’s toffs and grandees won’t get ther message till it finally hurts them where it hurts. And it’s too late for second chances.

a February 1979 story: “Climatologists Are Warned North Pole Might Melt,” featuring a jarring opening paragraph: “There is a real possibility that some people now in their infancy will live to a time when the ice at the North Pole will have melted, a change that would cause swift and perhaps catastrophic changes in climate.”
