Actress Jane Fonda is trending on social media for the hilarious anti-science belief that racism and misogyny are causing climate change.

Today’s trend was sparked by a video on MSNBC in which Jane Fonda said:

‘If there was no racism, there’d be no climate crisis. If there was no misogyny, there’d be no climate crisis. It’s part of a mindset.’

At which point she holds her fingers against her head, pointing at her mind.

‘It’s the mindset that looks at a woman and says, “Nice tits!”’

As Tucker Carlson says on Fox News following the video:

‘In other words… “My ex-husbands caused climate change!” In addition to everything else, it’s all about her.’

We shouldn’t be surprised.

These are not original scripts penned by Fonda, they are lines recited from the United Nations who have put out headlines like: The global climate crisis is a racial justice crisis: UN expert in which the article says:

There can be no meaningful solution to the global climate and ecological crisis without addressing systemic racism, and particularly the historic and contemporary racial legacies of colonialism and slavery, a UN human rights expert warned.

“Climate justice seeks historical accountability from nations and entities responsible for climate change and calls for a radical transformation of the contemporary systems that shape the relationship between humans and the rest of the planet. The status quo is that global and national systems distribute the suffering associated with the global ecological crisis on a racially discriminatory basis,” said Tendayi Achiume, UN Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance, in her report to the General Assembly.

Which is obvious nonsense. Where’s the justice for victims of third-world perpetrated slavery and human rights violations going back before the dawn of the West? Where’s the global justice for Asian, African, and South American nations which rank as the world’s worst climate polluters? Their actions aren’t a result of ‘colonialism’ – they were made by governments in full control of their actions looking for a moral escape for their ‘climate crimes’ that doesn’t involve personal responsibility.

It’s worth reading just how depraved the thinking at the United Nations is, because this is what our Prime Ministers and Presidents are nodding along to on their five-star private jet climate conferences.

The UN expert said that “global ‘sacrifice zones’ – regions rendered dangerous and even uninhabitable due to environmental degradation – are in effect, ‘racial and ethnic sacrifice zones’.” It is the peoples and territories who have been subject to the worst forms of historical and contemporary racial and ethnic subordination that are the primary inhabitants of these sacrifice zones. These are the same peoples most affected by climate-induced migration, and who are confronting, in the case of Small Island Developing States, impending disappearance of their entire territories.

‘Global sacrifice zones’ – tell me again this isn’t a death cult. The UN expert describes sacrifice zones in the report more formally as:

“Sacrifice zones,” as illustrated in this report, are more accurately described as “racial sacrifice zones.” Racial sacrifice zones include the ancestral lands of indigenous peoples, territories of the Small Island Developing States (SIDS), racially segregated neighborhoods in the Global North, and occupied territories facing drought and environmental devastation. The primary beneficiaries of these racial sacrifice zones are transnational corporations that funnel wealth, towards the Global North, and privileged national and local elites globally.

Can you imagine Anthony Albanese or Peter Dutton standing up before the people and admitting that they follow the UN science and now believe in sacrifice zones? Who knows, maybe that is on the agenda for 2023. We might see supporters of the Voice (aka those who want to enshrine racial supremacy into Parliament) classifying Australia as a racial sacrifice zone in order to extract reparations, as the UN report recommends.

The Tendayi Achiume UN report lists the ‘racist colonial foundations of the ecological crisis, transnational environmental racism, and climate injustice’. If Achiume had looked further, far from ‘race’ being the cause of poverty and poor land management, what these governments have in common is collectivism – be they socialist, Marxist, or communist. And if they’re not collectivist governments destroying the prosperity of the third world – the remainder are made up of hyper-religious Islamic military despotic tyrannies. There is definitely a common link to poverty and pollution, but it’s not race – it’s despotism.

Celebrities in the West are affluent and vacuous enough to buy into this UN emotional blackmail, which forms the perfect marriage between the two great religions of the West: Woke and Climate Catastrophe.

One is revamping of last century’s ‘feel good’ racial supremacy which the media and celebrity class embraced (only this time, instead of white supremacy we have black supremacy duct-taped to a modern ‘white saviour complex’). The other is a death cult that uses fear of an existential crisis (although the ‘experts’ can’t decided if the world is going to end in a flood, ice age, or with a Biblical fire and brimstone affair) and then offers salvation to the guilty so long as they advocate for policies that make life miserable for the poor.

Given the saturation of the West with these twin idiocies, it was only a matter of time before they were short-handed by celebrities looking to resurrect their careers with a bit of cheap social virtue.

On December 6, Fonda shared a video of herself ‘rocking the climate boat’ by standing in front of various Greenpeace paraphernalia in an outfit that’s probably worth more than the average third-world mother makes in their lifetime. It’s part of Jane Fonda’s three years of Fire Drill Fridays in which she demands Joe Biden lean heavily into the rhetoric of climate emergency.

‘Organising does not stop after an election, does it? We must hold the folks we got into office accountable to us, not to oil companies, because the fossil fuel industry does not stop, so we can never stop.

‘Time is running out. Scientists are telling us we are in our last decade of action. What we do or fail to do in the next 8-10 years to cut our fossil fuel emissions in half will determine how much of a livable future we have.’

Obviously, no one has told Jane Fonda that over 95 per cent of the medical and pharmaceutical industry is directly reliant on fossil fuels via petroleum products and if she gets her wish to ‘end oil and gas’ she’ll effectively ‘end modern medicine’.

Or perhaps she missed the memo that the renewable energy industry is built on the bones of coal, where hundreds of tonnes of coal is used to build wind farms, in addition to the largest mining boom in modern history – which includes tearing the ocean floor apart in pursuit of rare earths for batteries and solar panels.

This sort of celebrity lop-sided science is rotten to its core, fashioned out of a few activist hashtags and propped up by people who have money to burn in exchange for the last fleeting look at the camera before irrelevancy sinks in. Meanwhile, third-world regimes are cashing in on climate money, pretending to wallow on the edge of ‘apocalypse’ while quietly lining their Swiss bank accounts with gold.

Jane Fonda is right about one thing, time is running out for the third-world – but only because of the United Nations Sustainability Goals which demand an end to modern agriculture, forcing nations to massacre their farming sectors, swiftly creating an artificial global famine.

No doubt, the United Nation will blame this in-house famine on ‘climate change’ and demand more money to fix it.

‘They chose pollution of their children. They chose profits over our future,’ screeched Fonda, whose politics will ensure that tomorrow’s children are fed a steady diet of cockroaches and lab-printed meat.

But if you were hoping for citizens to judge Fonda’s words on merit, rather than celebrity nostalgia – you’d be wrong. Veterans are prepared to go along with Fonda, regardless of the obvious failings in her logic, because they enjoyed her political views in the 70s.

Fonda, who keeps getting arrested and warned over disruptive climate protests, appears to relish the attention. And that is the problem. Climate activism has become a performance, frequented by actors and social media influencers who’d rather stick themselves to things or throw soup over artwork than go out and spend a few months planting trees on a farm.
