I completely agree with Owen here.  All of these different movements, and their narratives that we're supposed to hold as holy, are so poorly constructed.  They're initially shock and awe.  Global Warming.  Not seasons, not local weather conditions, not even regional weather conditions, but Global, meaning beyond our reach, both physically and conceptually.  With all of the different changes in pressure, in wind, altitude, etc. the world is too varied to reduce it down to a single problem of excess CO2 production BY MAN.  So we're impressed with the dramatics, but that's not going to make us care.  For the average working man and woman, it is going to overwhelm us even if we give it 5 seconds worth of thought.  We just don't care, because we can't care.  So we the audience receive the concepts like a governor's engine on a golf cart.  It'll never get up to speed.  We see it as ridiculous.  Look at all the memes of Joe Biden's presidency or Greta Thurnberg's angry face shaming not anyone, or company, or industry in particular, but she is shaming the world.  It's so far out there in terms of an argument because they have no argument, and never is there any substantive defense.  The only documentary that I've seen on Global Warming, the only one worth its salt in terms of production and in terms of learning about the specifics of global warming or manmade CO2 and its "hazards" was the 2007 British documentary, Great Global Warming Swindle.  And I can't help but wonder how Greta's name is used as a subtle tag or brand on Global Warming.  Her name is a near rhyme for Global.  Then they changed it to climate change to reduce heightened awareness of it.  Climate Change is more in line with seasons, something we're all familiar with.

"WTO . . . threatened to allow Mexico and Canada to hit the U.S. with more than $1 billion in tariffs"

Given the fact that the reach of climate change politics is global, and that much of it is run by the international communists, I do not have a soft spot in my heart for the global warming agenda.  I think that it serves sinister agendas and not the ones propagandized in the media.  For a full account of my opinion on that score, please see the documentary The Great Global Warming Swindle.  It's excellent.  It's free.  

On the issue of labelling, I think it's important because of accountability.  I mean it makes no sense really.  Do you think that Microsoft would reject labelling or Marlboro or Nike or Chevrolet?  Hardly.  But apparently the WTO has all the muscle over all the farmers here, Mexico, and Canada.  So the next time you go to the grocery store to get your burger meat or New York steak or T-Bone you won't know if came from Guadalajara, Montreal, or Chicago beef.  Some people are okay with this.  Are you?

Some very meaty decisions out of Washington appear to be unhealthy for consumers and the environment.

First, Congress and President Barack Obama teamed up to repeal mandatory country-of-origin labeling for pork and beef products. The labeling requirements were eliminated through an attachment to the omnibus budget bill passed by Congress and signed by Obama earlier this month.

The move was prompted by threats from the World Trade Organization (WTO), which threatened to allow Mexico and Canada to hit the U.S. with more than $1 billion in tariffs if it continued to require beef and pork labeling for foreign producers. The WTO said the labels discriminate against meat from animals raised and slaughtered outside the United States.

The labeling repeal wasn’t the only action by Congress affecting the beef industry. Lawmakers renewed a provision that prevents the Environmental Protection Agency from requiring greenhouse gas emission reports from livestock producers, which are one of the country’s largest sources of methane and carbon dioxide. Livestock producers account for about 15% of the world’s emissions of greenhouse gases, more than come from automobiles.

The legislation means the U.S. government has no way of keeping track how much cattle and dairy farms are contributing to global warming. The government does collect reports from 41 other sectors of the economy, “making the meat industry the only major source of greenhouse gases in the country excluded from filing annual reports,” according to Reveal News.
