Why would they? The world transitioning away from fossil fuels hurts them badly. They would be fighting it if it were provably false.

No. Their plans do look a bit sketchy though. Planting trees and unproven carbon capture tech seems to be a big part of the plan, and there are no plans to scale back fossil fuels. Even if they aren't that committed I still think if the science was wrong they would be fighting against it rather than playing along.

They pledged net zero emissions by 2050. Also if the science about it was fake they would have the most incentive to call it out.

I don't think they have a problem with that.

If man made global warming was a hoax, why would Saudi Arabia be going along with it?

I don't think trans people are so delusional that they believe they aren't still limited by biology. It's more about how they present themselves to the world and how the world reacts to that presentation. I'm sure they know they will never be biologically the opposite gender they were born as. The best they can get is appearing convincing enough as the opposite gender that they are treated by others as such. If doing so makes them happier and allows them to be their "true self" then I say go for it. They are just doing what they think is best for themselves.

Much of the revulsion seems to come from religious types that think it's an affront to God's design or sin or whatever. That is the real delusion, people that think they have moral authority because of their faith and that justifies their hate. If you aren't religious and you still think there is a reason to be upset about trans people feel free to fill me in on your rational reasoning.

I've been posting from Age of Deception (2015) by James Dale Davidson, one of the co-authors of The Sovereign Individual (1997). Do not read unless you enjoy existential crisises.

Who is speaking The Black Speech of Mordor?

I would avoid those except as a hobby for a little extra cash or if you're desperate. You don't want to be reliant on gig type jobs. You'll put tons of miles on your car and expenses eat up a lot of your earnings. The companies are shady and pull various tricks to squeeze as much value out of drivers as they can. I will never go back to them if I can help it.

Chauffeur here. I have a lot of time to listen to podcasts when no one is in the car. It pays better than most driving jobs, but the hours are all over the place. I've always enjoyed driving and fallen back on driving jobs when my other career attempts didn't work out.
