The Biden administration plans to do what? Yes, you read the headline correctly. Joe Biden and his minions are moving forward with a plan to use “huge vacuum cleaners” to remove millions of metric tons of carbon dioxide from the air. If that sounds like a really stupid idea to you, that is because it is a really stupid idea. We are in the very early chapters of a horrific global food crisis, and crops need carbon dioxide to grow.
If we were able to find a way to remove all carbon dioxide from our atmosphere, all plants would die and humanity would rapidly go extinct from starvation. So when we are messing around with carbon dioxide, we are literally messing around with a life-giving gas that makes life on this planet possible.
But when it comes to messing things up, we should never underestimate Joe Biden’s ability. On Friday, his administration announced that more than a billion dollars will be spent on “huge vacuum cleaners” in Louisiana and Texas that will be used to suck massive amounts of carbon dioxide out of the air…
The Biden administration on Friday announced its first major investment to kickstart the US carbon removal industry – something energy experts say is key to getting the country’s planet-warming emissions under control.
Direct air capture removal projects are akin to huge vacuum cleaners sucking carbon dioxide out of the air, using chemicals to remove the greenhouse gas. Once removed, CO2 gets stored underground, or is used in industrial materials like cement. On Friday, the US Department of Energy announced it is spending $1.2 billion to fund two new demonstration projects in Texas and Louisiana – the South Texas Direct Air Capture hub and Project Cypress in Louisiana.
This is really going to happen.
According to Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, these “huge vacuum cleaners” will be able to remove over 2 million metric tons of carbon dioxide from our atmosphere each year…
Granholm said the projects are expected to remove more than 2 million metric tons of carbon dioxide from the air annually once they are up and running – the equivalent of removing nearly 500,000 gas cars off the road.
Your tax dollars will be funding this project. Remember that the next time you look over the deductions to your paycheck.
A project of this nature is already up and running in Iceland, but the “huge vacuum cleaners” that the Biden administration will be putting up will absolutely dwarf what Iceland has been doing…
Another project in Iceland that opened in 2021 removes about 10 metric tons of CO2 every day, roughly the same amount of carbon emitted by 800 cars a day. At the time, that project’s operator Climeworks said it was the largest one in the world.
The US direct air capture projects alone could increase global capacity for the technology by 400 times, said Sasha Stashwick, policy director at Carbon180 – an independent nonprofit focused on carbon removal.
“The industry’s very nascent at the moment,” Stashwick told CNN. “These are meant to be the first commercial-scale deployments at the mega-ton scale. It’s a very, very big deal.”
Of course this is not the only really stupid idea that global leaders have come up with to fight climate change.
In Ireland, farmers are extremely distressed by reports that they may soon be forced to kill off 200,000 cows so that the government can meet climate targets…
IRISH farmers have been taking to the streets in recent weeks after reports surfaced of a Government plan to cull 200,000 cows to meet climate targets.
The controversial legislation to cut its emissions by 25 percent between the years of 2018 and 2030 was slated last year, with farmers raising concerns about potential culls. The Irish Cattle Breeding Federation last year told Beef Central it believed it could comply with the target through improved genetics.
However, cull concerns were recently ramped up, with a local media outlet finding a Government report that suggested culling 200,000 cows to meet the target.
Why in the world would the Irish government even consider such a thing when we are in the middle of a major global food crisis?
I simply do not understand.
Elsewhere in Europe, the Dutch government is going to be buying up large numbers of farms and shutting them down in order to “reduce nitrogen pollution”…
The European Commission on Tuesday said it had approved two Dutch plans worth a combined 1.47 billion euros ($1.61 billion) to buy out livestock farmers to reduce nitrogen pollution, saying they are permissible under state aid rules.
The Dutch need to reduce excess nitrogen levels, caused in part by decades of intensive farming, a problem that has led to courts blocking important construction projects until the issue is resolved.
Once again, I just don’t get why anyone would think that this is a good idea when the UN says that 2.4 billion people on the planet do not have enough food to eat.
But these elitists don’t listen to common sense.
They are just going to do what they want to do, and the rest of us will be forced to live with the consequences.
Unfortunately, some of these elitists appear to be willing to go to absolutely insane extremes in order to fight climate change.
Several years ago, a WEF “bioethicist” named S. Matthew Liao actually suggested genetically modifying humans so that they would become allergic to meat…
This is one of those rare moments where we don’t know if we should make jokes or fear for our lives. Prepare yourself.
A viral video shows a bioethicist suggest we re-engineer humans to become allergic to meat in order to control climate change.
A video of a panel at the 2016 World Science Festival has resurfaced causing outrage from thousands on social media. S. Matthew Liao is speaking about reducing humanity’s footprint on the planet.
There are people that actually sit around and think up stuff like this.
More recently, an astronomer at the University of Hawaii made headlines when he proposed that we should capture an asteroid and use it as part of a contraption that would work as an “umbrella” between us and the sun…
Scientists around the globe are working on myriad ways to reduce the effects of climate change, including István Szapudi, an astronomer at the University of Hawaiʻi Institute for Astronomy, who has devised a novel idea to lessen the amount of sunlight hitting our planet.
In a paper titled “Solar radiation management with a tethered sun shield” recently published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Szapudi proposes placing a sort of umbrella in a near gravitationally stable region of space between Earth and the sun along the sun-Earth axis, combined with a captured asteroid as a counterweight, that would shade the planet from a fraction of our star’s rays.
He was working on a space ship propulsion idea and read a paper about solar sails, spurring him to look into sun shades.
No thank you.
When I look up into the sky, I want to see the Sun.
I don’t want to see a giant umbrella blocking my view.
Given enough time, these freaks would implement all sorts of crazy schemes. The good news is that time is running out for them. The global system that they are trying to build will ultimately crumble to the ground. That will inevitably lead to a period of great global chaos, but out of that chaos will come something else entirely.

Two Storms, One Harvest
Every food crisis in living memory has been a one-shock event. The 2008 price spike was a commodity bubble. The 2020 shortages were a logistics failure. The 2022 grain scare was a war on one exporter’s ports. Each time, the system bent, adjusted, and recovered, and each time the experts assured us afterward that global markets are simply too big and too diversified to fail.
What nobody in Washington seems eager to discuss is that 2026 is shaping up to be something the modern food system has never actually faced. Two independent shocks, one climatic and one geopolitical, are converging on the same harvest cycle at the same time. Not sequentially. Simultaneously.
Start with the weather. The Pacific Ocean is currently building toward what forecasters now openly call a record event. NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center puts the odds of at least a strong El Niño near 88 percent, with roughly two in three odds it reaches “very strong” status, the tier reserved for perhaps three or four events in the entire satellite era. Every major global model now projects a median peak in Super El Niño territory, and most of them project it exceeding the 2015-16 event, which until now held the modern record. Sea surface anomalies were already brushing the super threshold in mid-July, months before these events normally peak. The atmosphere has already shifted into El Niño mode, and the event is forecast to crest in late fall and early winter.
This is not about “climate change.” It’s about the standard cycles of weather, and the cycle we’re currently in is one that has likely devastated societies in the past. We’re better prepared as a society today, but not all Americans are equally prepared.
Serious households have started doing the quiet math on their own. Grocery bills tell part of the story, and the forecast maps tell the rest, which is why long-term food storage has moved from fringe hobby to mainstream line item in the family budget, with established suppliers like Heaven’s Harvest seeing demand from people who five years ago would have rolled their eyes at the idea. That instinct is not paranoia. It is pattern recognition, and the pattern is worth walking through carefully.
Editor’s Note: Heaven’s Harvest IS a sponsor, but the warnings of this article are real and would be written even if we didn’t have a survival food sponsor. With that said, those who take advantage of what they offer can use promo code “Patriot” for 15% off.
The Fertilizer Clock Is Already Running
While the Pacific warms, the second shock has been unfolding in the Strait of Hormuz. The conflict with Iran turned the world’s most important energy chokepoint into a contested waterway, and the consequences reach far beyond the gas pump. Roughly a third of global fertilizer trade moves through Hormuz, and the disruption sent urea prices up 86 percent year over year by March, with a 53 percent jump in a single month.
The World Bank projects energy prices rising about 24 percent in 2026 and fertilizer about 31 percent. By its own accounting, fertilizer prices ran 35 percent higher in the first five months of this year than the same period last year.
Here is the mechanism the nightly news will not explain. Fertilizer is not a grocery item. It is a time-delayed input. The nitrogen a farmer in Iowa or Punjab could not afford to apply this spring does not show up as a problem this spring. It shows up as a thinner harvest six to twelve months later.
The World Bank’s own food security brief concedes that the effects of reduced applications earlier this season “are likely to become visible only later in harvest outcomes.” Translate that from institutional language into plain English and it means this. The damage is already done, it is already in the ground, and we are simply waiting for it to arrive on the shelf.
Now check the calendar. Six to twelve months from the spring planting season lands us squarely in late 2026 and early 2027. Which is precisely when the strongest El Niño in the instrumental record is forecast to peak, bringing its signature droughts to Southeast Asia, Australia, southern Africa, northern Brazil, and South Asia, the very regions that grow the world’s rice, sugar, and oilseeds.
The World Bank warns openly that a strong El Niño “could disrupt multiple crop belts simultaneously” on top of the conflict-driven input costs. Their baseline projection assumes the Middle East disruptions ease by autumn. What in the last two years of Middle East history suggests that assumption is safe?
The System Has No Slack Left
The comfortable answer is that global markets always adjust. But adjustment requires slack, and the slack is gone. Global cereal production is expected to decline from last year’s records even before El Niño does its work. The UN World Food Programme, hardly a den of right-wing preppers, is calling this the most significant disruption to its supply chains since Covid and the invasion of Ukraine, and its supply chain director put the stakes bluntly.
Today’s supply chain challenges are tomorrow’s hunger crisis.
There is also a political dimension that markets cannot price. When food gets scarce, governments do not behave like economists. They behave like politicians. Export bans, hoarding mandates, and panic buying at the national level turned the modest rice shortfall of 2008 into a global crisis, and analysts are already warning that import-dependent nations are the first dominoes.
The 2015-16 Super El Niño, a far weaker event than what is now forecast, threw tens of millions into food stress across Africa and Asia. This one is projected to be stronger, and it arrives with fertilizer already rationed by price and shipping lanes already contested by missiles.
What Joseph Knew
Scripture does not treat preparation for lean years as faithlessness. It treats it as wisdom delivered in advance to those willing to act on it.
Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt: And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt.
Joseph did not respond to that warning with a hashtag or a committee. He stored grain during the years of abundance, and when the famine came, Egypt stood while its neighbors begged. The lesson is not that famine is certain. It is that the time to prepare is precisely when preparation still looks optional.
Nobody who filled a pantry in a year of plenty has ever regretted it, and nobody standing in an empty aisle has ever been glad he waited for certainty.
None of this calls for panic, and panic is the enemy of sound judgment anyway. It calls for the same unglamorous prudence our grandparents considered ordinary. Keep some cash margin, know your local growers, and put real food in deep storage while it is cheap and available, because the entire arc of this story is that cheap and available is a closing window.
Families looking for a straightforward place to start can visit Heaven’s Harvest and use promo code Patriot for 15 percent off long-term storable food. The forecasts may yet soften, the strait may yet reopen, and we should pray they do. But hope is a fine thing to hold and a foolish thing to eat.
CO2 HOAX easily explained even for liberals
If all the molecules of gases in the atmosphere was represented by a 10,000 seat stadium, only four seats would be occupied by CO2, up from three seats almost 200 years ago. And the human portion 3% (as per IPCC) is little more than noise.
Unfortunately, some still believe this is a matter of befuddled thinking and beliefs instead of a long—range plan of destruction?!
And calling communists “liberals” is most befuddling . . .
And plantlife must have 2 to survive.
Huge vacuum cleaner to suck CO2 out of the air?? What’s wrong with letting the plants do it. They are quite good at it given the earths atmosphere only contains 0.04% CO2. BTW CO2 is not affecting the climate unless of course you know nothing about the climate.
If there’s no “huge CO2 vacuum cleaner”, how is the O’Biden regime going to launder our tax dollars for useless and unnecessary “climate change” projects? The wealthy elites won’t get their grift will they? That’s what this is about, not to mention the abject tyranny that will result from O’Biden’s “climate change regulations”.
There you go Red. Plant a tree for God and climate change. The oatmeal brained college students will all fall in line.
“But these elitists don’t listen to common sense.”
These elitists are calling the shots, and obviously The Plan is for mass starvation, global depopulation!
Then those still alive, through the wonders of mRNA tech and genetic engineering, will be allergic to meat and chumping away on insects, which are unhealthy for human consumption, OF COURSE!!!
Before the planned destruction of the family farm in the Netherlands —— #1 agricultural exporter in Europe, #2 globally —— BILL GATES and his Gates Foundation funded a Harvard University program in the skies over SWEDEN: “Stratospheric Controlled Perturbation Experiment, or SCoPEx, ultimately planned to release a cloud of calcium carbonate – more commonly known as chalk dust – into the atmosphere from a high-altitude balloon to study its effects on sunlight reaching Earth. The project proved too controversial, however, and on Wednesday the Swedish Space Corporation (SSC) said that a test flight set for June would not move forward.”
Examining the known weather patterns, this would predictably have disrupted growing seasonal patterns in the Netherlands, but the program failed in the follow–through —— FORTUNATELY —— so the backup plan must be the forced farm buyout or theft in the Netherlands, destroying their agriculture sector!?
They simply want to kill us off! And control those remaining!
And people call us tinfoil hat people —— but sadly, we are on target!
(Overall a fantastic article except for the inference that the Global Elites do not know what they are doing —— trust us, the super–rich know EXACTLY what their psychopathic designs will bring about!)
They thought building the Tower of Babel was a good idea too…………………
During the 2016 World Science Festival (mentioned in reference to genetically engineered insect—eating) there was a CLOSED forum on Synthetic DNA/Synthetic Biology — the first time anyone had ever heard of a CLOSED FORUM —— normally they are begging for public attendance, most strange?!
I believe this event was also where Peter Daszak described the work his colleagues at the Wuhan Institute of Virology were doing on the genetic sequencing of dangerous bat coronaviruses; his talk before the NY Academy of Medicine.

This sounds like something cooked up in Al Gore’s garage lab.
Only stupid or psychopathic people use Global Warming and Climate Change to try and push an agenda that has NO BACKING. ALL LIFE ON EARTH LIVE BECAUSE OF THE CARBON IN OUR ATMOSPHERE, DUH what more do those morons need to understand. This comes off as a willful attempt to control our population with lies that are so idiotic it does give us pause, because it is hard to believe that there are that many stupid people out there in La La Land. So, we are assuming that all this idiocy about CO2 is purposeful as an agenda to make some people very rich.
REMEMBER MY FRIENDS THIS IS A SCAM OF MONUMENTAL PROPORTIONS BY GREEDY PSYCHOPATHS. Our sun controls all our climate, (except when nations play at GeoEngineering our atmosphere). So if those idiots actually convince the stupid that our sun must be blocked to save us from Climate Change IT WILL KILL EVERY LIVING THING ON THIS PLANET. Nothing stays alive for long when there is no sunlight.
GET YOUR COLLECTIVE HEADS OUT PEOPLE BECAUSE WE NEED PEOPLE WHO CAN REASON FOR THEMSELVES, INSTEAD OF FOLLOWING THE DICTATES OF PSYCHOPATHS !!!
I thought that the “railroad” from the west coast to India was a real hair brained idea from our mental midget Biden, but a big vacuum to get rid of all the CO-2 is even more crazier. GOD, PLEASE HELP AMERICA FROM THESE IDIOTS.
Biden administration = the least intelligent, most incompetent people on the planet.
Only leftist loons could believe that carbon-based life forms have too much carbon. LOL
