Grimes: Years of Media Climate Propaganda = Climate Change Fatigue

California has highest-in-the-nation gas prices and the highest energy costs, which have increased 59% since 2020

Exactly two years ago, as Chevron Oil company announced that it was moving its headquarters to Houston Texas from San Ramon California, California Energy Commission regulators announced proposed government controls of the petroleum industry, ostensibly in order to combat future energy price surges, according to a report released August 1, 2024 by the CEC.

Despite California’s radical and very accelerated green agenda which does not include oil and gas as fuels, the CEC fully expects some of California’s nine oil refineries to be shuttered due to falling demand, which would give the remaining refineries increased pricing power and raise the possibility of a surge in gas prices, the study said.

You read that right – the California Energy Commission proposed a state takeover of oil refineries in August 2024. Venezuela, anyone?

The climate change agenda was really just an attempt at a climate pandemic – an excuse to shut down parts of the country and the economy for power and control. But the masses never bought in, and now, climate journalism is sputtering out. Master Resource reports that Belle de Jong, environment editor at The European Correspondent, recently posted on social media:

“Climate journalism is shrinking, this recent Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard piece shows. CBS lost its entire climate desk, the Washington Post cut 74% of its climate team, and NPR laid off its climate desk editor. The Media and Climate Change Observatory’s 2025 year-end analysis showed a 38% reduction in global media’s climate coverage in 2025, since the high-water mark of 2021.”
