Ceres, the infamous leftist nonprofit supposedly devoted to the sustainability cause, recently released a report on America’s worst greenhouse gas emitters. Of course, mainstream media, including The New York Times and Yahoo News, have eaten up Ceres’ findings and promoted them far and wide.
But the organization’s apparently hypocritical actions paint another story, however. A case could certainly be made that Ceres’ routine work with fossil fuel-related companies and other organizations demonstrates how the “terrible” corporations focused on in its report are really only the worst emitters which have yet to provide donations to Ceres’ ostensibly coin-operated outrage machine.
If emitting carbon dioxide (CO2) is so sinful, then why does Ceres routinely work — and cover for — organizations that release vast quantities of the gas? And why have they focused only on American companies in this report? The developing world now emits far more greenhouse gases than developed countries and communist China’s emissions are now double that of the United States. China also has an out clause under United Nations climate change rules, meaning that it never has to reduce emissions. They must regard Ceres as yet another of the free world’s useful idiots helping advance China’s goal of world domination.
So, it should surprise no one that China helps fund Ceres. After receiving $5 million from a nonprofit that has an arm in the country and direct ties to their government, Ceres praised the regime’s Belt and Road infrastructure initiative without mentioning any of the program’s environmental implications or the fact that the China is obviously enemy number one to true believes in the climate change cause.
And how about Norway? Their government owns “Oil Fund,” a sovereign wealth fund that is the largest of its kind in the world and is, as the name would imply, riddled with oil money. And, of course, the country is one of Europe’s largest oil producers. Yet Ceres is still happy to take money from the Norwegian government’s “Norwegian International Climate and Forest Initiative (NICFI)?” And when the NICFI announced a bilateral partnership with Guyana in 2013, Ceres’s CEO president Minday Lubber praised the actions in Forbes magazine: “Norway is paying for measured results by Guyana in delivering services that cool the planet’s climate by avoiding the destruction of trees.”
