One day our descendants will look back on the Age of Climate Change and marvel at “how a civilization with so much wealth, scientific knowledge, and sophisticated technologies could have” been so ignorant as to be willfully plunged into socio-economic malais and pulled so close to extinction as to be able to experience it with each of our five senses.
This from frontpagemag.com.
Most astonishingly, this globalist-initiated civilizational near-suicide had been based on an unproven hypothesis like Anthropogenic Catastrophic Global Warming:
[T]he idea that human-produced atmospheric CO2 emissions would destroy [our] civilization unless fossil fuels, the cheap, abundant energy that created the modern world, were abandoned.
Moreover, the warnings of a future apocalypse are relentlessly multiplying across the rich Western nations, “despite the ever-growing evidence the hypothesis radically simplifies how a complex global climate works over space and time.”
More troubling, the proposed solution for lowering emissions enough to stave off the alleged disaster cannot be realized by eliminating fossil-fuels.
Thankfully, the re-election of Donald Trump brings an accompanying voice of reason and thus hope the suicidal “renewable” energy programs and policies will be rolled back—not just for America but too for the entire world.
The resistance to the zero net carbon narrative is growing. Even at the U.N.’s grand climate powwow held in Dubai in January, the UAE’s Minister of Industry, Dr. Sultan Al-Jaber, made the classic gaffe of speaking that truth out loud in front of the conclave of true believers.
The Paris Accords’ goal to limit the global temperature increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius by 2030 was a pipe dream.
And Al-Jaber said at an online event on Nov. 21:
There is no science out there, or no scenario out there that says the phase-out of fossil fuel is what’s going to achieve 1.5.
Further:
[It would be] impossible to stop burning fossil fuels and sustain economic development, unless you want to take the world back into caves.
And if a government minister is an untrustworthy witness, read MIT professor of atmospheric science Richard Lindzen, and Princeton emeritus professor of physics William Happer, who wrote in 2021:
We are both scientists who can attest that the research literature does not support the claim of a climate emergency. Nor will there be one. None of the lurid predictions — dangerously accelerating sea-level rise, increasingly extreme weather, more deadly forest fires, unprecedented warming, etc.—are any more accurate than the fire-and-brimstone sermons used to stoke fanaticism in medieval crusaders.
But despite numerous other exposures of how dubious the science is, the Western nations continue to double-down on transitioning to “clean energy,” mostly by phasing out gas-powered automobiles and mandating they be replaced by electric vehicles through taxpayer-funded subsidies and draconian government regulations.
To wit:
– Great Britain, the seventh biggest economy in the world, ‘is killing its auto industry,’ as the Wall Street Journal’s headline reads,
– In Germany, Volkswagen has been forced to shut down three factories at the cost of 10,000 jobs,
– And the U.S. during [The Obiden Regime] also took the country on a ‘renewable energy’ and net-zero carbon bender as well, and
– True to its status as the bellwether of every lefty lunatic fad, California under its failed governor is binging on the same toxic ‘global warming’ brew, driving its economy and citizens towards a fiscal cliff.
As the Journal concludes:
These are the consequences of a state run by rent-seeking renewable-energy firms and the environmentalist fanatics that offer them political cover. Mr. Newsom’s climate action is hitting every industry and every household.
These feckless “renewable energy” policies are damaging economies most of which are already confronting huge loads of debt, amassed over the years to pay for entitlement transfers that few politicians dare to pare back and reform. These costs also make financing the West’s military preparedness more difficult, exposing us to our enemies’ adventurism.
Apocalypse, like decline, is not a destiny but a choice.
Thankfully, the re-election of Donald Trump offers hope that the suicidal “renewable” energy programs and policies will be rolled back.
Trump established his realist climate policy bona fides during his first term and strengthened them by his cabinet choices so far.
We have direction and determination to make the West—the freest and wealthiest civilization in history—great again.
