I mean, they might be on to something, because the climate cult is certainly looking to enact authoritarianism. But, I doubt that is what this wonkadoodle article means
Climate change an ‘increasing threat to democracy’, study finds
Elections around the world are increasingly affected by natural hazards such as heatwaves and hurricanes, with climate change posing a rising threat to democracy, according to a report.
The Managing Natural Hazards and Climate Risks in Elections report, released by the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (International IDEA) on 22 April, finds that at least 94 elections across 52 countries were disrupted by natural hazards between 2006 and 2025, affecting millions of voters.
It is “a statistical fact that elections will more frequently be affected by natural hazards in future years,” the analysis found, noting that the number of major natural hazards has tripled over the past four decades.
“Election management bodies have always had to cope with natural hazards, but the threat posed by such phenomena has become more apparent in recent years.”
Right, right, because a little weather is such a big problem
During the 2024 “super-cycle year” of elections, 23 primary, local, national, and supranational polls across 18 countries were disrupted by natural hazards, including in Brazil, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Nigeria, Senegal, the United States, and Canada.
That’s it? What about the Ukraine elections? Were they called off because of ‘climate change’?
International IDEA is calling on electoral authorities to implement disaster planning into routine election management rather than relying on reactive emergency procedures.
“The aim of the report is to provide an overview and share various strategies that can be used to protect elections from adverse effects,” it said. These include improved contingency planning, coordination with disaster-management agencies, and reassessing the timing of elections to avoid predictable hazards.
Weird, so, more governmental control of elections in the name of climate doom? What could possibly go wrong?
The Trump administration on Monday said it will pay two more energy companies, including one developing a wind project off Morro Bay, to abandon their projects in federal waters.
The U.S. Department of the Interior said it will pay a total of $885 million to Bluepoint Wind and Golden State Wind to voluntarily end their offshore wind leases, with both agreeing to instead invest in “reliable conventional energy projects.”
The move follows a similar $1-billion deal with the French firm TotalEnergies — which agreed in March to walk away from offshore wind leases off the North Carolina and New York coasts — and is yet another escalation of President Trump’s efforts to obstruct clean energy projects in favor of oil, gas and coal.
Golden State Wind was one of five leaseholders off the coast of California with a wind lease located off of Morro Bay. Under the agreement, the company will be eligible to recover about $120 million in lease fees after it makes an equal investment to develop U.S. oil and gas assets, energy infrastructure or liquefied natural gas projects along the Gulf Coast, the Interior Department said.
