The Left is using green energy to try to fundamentally transform the country.
Now, they are trying to force Americans to sacrifice their standard of living to cut emissions.
And Ron DeSantis was mad as hell over this green scheme to declare war on farms.
ESG turns investing into a political tool of the Left
Americans do not want to make dramatic changes to their lives to cut greenhouse gas emissions no matter how much Democrats shriek about it.
The most extreme parts of the Green New Deal cannot get passed in Congress or any State Legislature.
Now the Left is using the financial power of Wall Street as a backdoor way to enact their deeply unpopular agenda.
The environment, social, and governance (ESG) movement puts a left-wing political agenda ahead of returning a profit in investing.
ESG investing puts investment money into leftist political priorities like green energy while choking off disfavored industries like oil and gas from capital.
The goal is to use financial might to force policy changes that would never pass in any legislature.
ESG is targeting the agriculture industry
Agriculture has become a target for the climate change lobby because they claim it is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions.
The United Nations at its annual climate change conference last year demanded that wealthy countries eat less meat to cut emissions.
And the World Economic Forum (WEF) released a report talking about a “sustainable transition” for farms.
“Global food systems need to shift rapidly to more sustainable forms of production as part of broader food system transformation efforts. Food systems accounted for more than 30% of global greenhouse gas emissions in 2020,” the WEF report states.
Consumers’ Research warned that the ESG movement is coming for the family farm in the name of climate change.
Major Wall Street firms and corporations are pushing the net zero movement to eliminate the use of fossil fuels to reduce greenhouse emissions to zero.
Consumers’ Research executive director Will Hild is launching a campaign this year to warn about the damage that ESG and the net zero movement will do farms.
“A lot has been made of the net zero push on the fossil fuel industry, and people are starting to wake up to the implications it has on the electrical grid,” Hild told Just the News. “The reason we launched this campaign is we want to make sure people understand it goes farther than that — all the way to the apple that you buy at the grocery store.”
The Asian island nation of Sri Lanka switched to organic fertilizer and banned pesticides and manufactured fertilizers in 2022.
That destroyed the country’s economy and ruined its agriculture sector.
Hild said that pro-ESG forces want to bring that to the United States.
“It’s really easy to plan all this stuff out when you don’t have to actually do it in the real world,” Hild said.
“[BlackRock CEO] Larry Fink sitting on Wall Street like a fat cat is going to be dictating what the Johnson family farm can do,” Hild added.
BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, has been the leader on Wall Street pushing ESG.
The family farm is going to become a battleground in the fight over greenhouse gas emissions.
