Remember when global warming was the biggest threat?

That’s rich coming from someone who cuts like a surgeon. Lmao

Notice how those libs always push their hardcore radicalism and then when it blows up in their faces they spread the blame to lib-con thing. And then later they rewrite history as it being republican fault. Incremental lying until they’re resolved from all and any blame.

Nobody does.

The system is set up so we don’t have to see it, and so therefore don’t have to think about it.

Generate and consume a ■■■■■■■■ of energy here to create order…expel the entropy elsewhere in areas and on groups far away.

It’s not a Lib/Con thing…it’s a human thing.

Libs talk about the environment but ignore the slave labor and pollution in China.

Cons call Libs stupid and hypocritical, but the desire to keep illegals out is to make sure the entropy doesn’t creep back into our home here.

Same desires…different ways of expressing it.

Dissipative structure.

You whine about slave labor in other countries but have no problem stealing the fruit of working, tax paying Americans labor and redistributing it to able bodied dead beats and illegals who contribute nothing to the system. Pray tell dude, what’s the difference?

And the so-called immiseration that followed was simply asking hydrocarbon industries to clean up after themselves.

The revisionism never ends.

Sure, but that doesn’t help us solve the problem now.

That’s why “they” keep doing it.

Critprogs never consider the consequences of their virtue tantrums.

Precisely, they don’t consider unintended consequences of the fee fees/emotions.

It’s like a child on Halloween.

“If you eat more than a piece or two of that candy a day, you’re going to get sick.”

“It’s my candy and I WANT TO EAT IT ALL!”

Two hours later…

This is what I see when I hear or read them:

Children throwing tantrums . . .

Speaking of children throwing tantrums, whatever happened to Greta Thunberg?

I found some articles about her protesting against Russia back in March.

Yahoo News

Greta Thunberg's climate activist group to launch protests against Russian...

Fridays for Future, the global youth movement launched by Swedish climate change activist Greta Thunberg, is launching a series of events to protest Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Now she is protesting that the Swedish government is ignoring climate issues:

“We have been completely focusing on other things,” she told Reuters.
Greta Thunberg: Swedish politicians are ignoring climate crisis

Climate activists pushed for bans on Russian oil and gas back in February and March. I think they mistakenly believed that people would find that they don’t need fossil fuels. Conservation and clean renewables would magically appear to usher in a golden age.

Instead politicians are realizing that they risk economic collapse and elderly people freezing in their homes if they don’t find alternatives. The available alternatives include dirty fuels like coal and firewood.

Climate considerations are no longer the driving issue; stopping Putin in Ukraine is. Activists like Greta can’t complain about the change in priorities too directly or they risk being labeled traitors / Russian operatives.

I remember when over population used to be a talking point that has definitely went out the window sometime in the early mid 2000’s.

Instead of a population explosion we are headed towards a population collapse.

A basic problem in Europe is that wind and solar cannot supply all the energy needs without enormous energy-storage projects. Given the intermittent nature of wind and solar, fossil plants are still required until there are practical ways of storing weeks of energy for the electrical grid.

There are wind turbines on practically every hilltop in most of Scotland, yet the Scots are seeing at soaring fuel costs as result of the reduced flow of Russian natural gas. Meanwhile Russians a enjoy plentiful supply of cheap natural gas.

The sanctions war and the resulting energy crisis may be used as a pretext to return to COVID-style lockdowns and even more censorship.

Never let a crisis go to waste.

Who benefits from lockdowns?

Oligarchs like Bezos, the lockdowns caused the largest transfer of wealth to the billionaire class ever seen.

I pointed out this flaw in the global warming thing a long time ago. How in the world can politicians who deliberately try and make their citizens poorer stay in office in a democracy? Either the democracy part goes or the people replace the leaders who go that route.
