How is Broomfield going to resolve climate change?
The average income for a Broomfield household is about $136,000. The poverty rate is 4.4%. Broomfield City Council has been talking about affordable housing for four years and passed recent building regulations based upon the agenda of climate change that will increase the cost of housing.
If the use of carbon-based fuels and agricultural endeavors that emit greenhouse gases are causing climate change, is the use causing a 50% or .00000001% change?
Electric cars have environmental problems, too. Mining uses energy to tear up the land for the raw materials needed for batteries. An acid processing method is one way to remove lithium from the soil. Batteries can be recycled, but this takes energy. How do we dispose of worn-out batteries? Does the sun always shine and the wind always blow?
When Biden went to the international meeting on climate change in 2021, Russia, Communist China and Saudi Arabia did not attend. China has one of the biggest populations in the world and continues to build coal-fired power plants.
How is Broomfield going to resolve climate change if the world won’t work together as a team? If the world comes to a one-world government this can happen, but we are not there yet, and if we arrive there, Americans will lose our freedom. The world bankers and oil barons are pushing the carbon tax agenda. They have names like Rothschilds and Rockefellers. The world bankers and oil barons want to control the world for their own greedy gain and they have a lot of politicians and world leaders who are cooperating with them.
In early 2019, one American politician stated the world is coming to an end in 12 years because of climate change. We will see if her prediction comes true. If it is true, should people in coastal areas start building big boats now?
With federal and Colorado handouts, one can get about $26,000 if one buys an electric car. Politicians like to buy votes. The federal government is about $32.5 trillion dollars in debt. They spend money recklessly, like Colorado and Broomfield’s government.
The Broomfield government won’t join the lawsuit with many other Colorado counties to fight Proposition HH. If HH succeeds, we will get the second-highest property tax in history and our last Tabor refund. If HH fails, we will get the highest property tax in history. Colorado government engineered deception so Coloradans voted out the Gallagher Amendment, which kept property taxes in check.
Mathematical economic history via Princeton shows when a country’s debt to gross national product reaches 1.3 it collapses. America is currently at 1.25. I hope the reader is ready.
Jobs will be lost. Will homelessness increase significantly, just like the years of the Great Depression? If so, this will add to the homelessness brought upon by legalizing marijuana.
Will soup lines exist? Will chaos and looting overcome grocery stores? Will the government play “Mommy” or be tyrants? We will see.

What began as a theory in the 1890s — that industrial emissions of carbon dioxide could increase global temperatures — had progressed to a scientific fact a century later. Scientists across a range of disciplines are studying the impact of the still-growing concentration of carbon dioxide and other so-called “greenhouse gases” in the atmosphere as they call for industrial and governmental policies to slow, then halt, the warming of the planet.
