“Sadly, the proven secular religion of climate catastrophism, treats Africa much like Europe did in the nineteenth century.
It sends in its climate missionaries to dominate policy, so denying Africans the benefit of major development based upon fossil fuel energy.”
-Andy West
Also from the same book:
“Fiat society thinks it can decree new laws for thermodynamics and override engineering reality by government fiat. The eternal adolescents of fiat want to live in modern homes, easily survive winters, travel faster than walking, use modern electronic devices and medical equipment, and have electricity on demand, but they don’t want to use the substance that makes all of these possible. Any person with a familiarity with the engineering realities of modern life will realize that the policies and demands of fiat people when it comes to energy are as reasonable as the child who wants to go to Disneyland but throws tantrums refusing to get into the car taking him to Disneyland because he doesn’t want to get into the car; he just wants to get into Disneyland. It is difficult to communicate to a child in a tantrum that the car is his only realistic option for getting to Disneyland and that the only possible alternative is walking for days and not some magical teleportation device. This is exactly the plight of trying to explain to fiat people that hydrocarbons are the only reason most of our modern life is possible, that working alternatives cannot be conjured
by fiat, and that the only realistic alternative is grinding poverty and a precarious existence, not some absurd Star Trek world where all that we want materializes with the flick of a switch without any combustion taking place. Just like the child who wants to be teleported to Disneyland should present their teleportation device before throwing a tantrum, it is time for fiat fuel enthusiasts to first show the rest of us how they can survive on fiat fuels before demanding we give up the hydrocarbons that are essential for our survival.” nostr:note1trqahhqnqq63fvfee46muau0acvh6uwqjexs3wzjk3ws0reseh2seernsh
Utteely stupid comic in the propaganda rag The Guardian.
At least it’s an opportunity to quote a great passage from nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak ‘s book The Fiat Standard.
“The answer is that in its raw form, solar power is cheaper than hydrocarbons, but in its raw form, solar power can only satisfy the human needs for skin exposure to sunlight and for growing plants. Solar energy in its raw form cannot satisfy the majority of our modern energy needs, since humans do not need large quantities of energy in the aggregate; we require high amounts of energy at the margin, in large quantities over short periods of time in order to produce power (defined as unit of energy per unit of time). High power is the driving force of modern technologies that makes modern construction, industry, transportation, electronics, and many more modern accomplishments possible. One cannot use the rays of sunlight directly to move a car or power a factory, and their absolute quantities are irrelevant. Whereas solar energy is plentiful, being able to concentrate it into high power is a very complex operation that requires significant investment in capital infrastructure through solar panels and batteries. As a form of energy in the abstract, solar is infinitely cheap.”

“Even today the US, not technically an empire and forever trying to distance itself from anything imperial, nevertheless controls much of the globe and its prime resource, oil, with its military. It also exports its culture in such a domineering way that everyone else confuses their own history with that of the US. Like its military, American cultural narratives dominate the world, and distort everybody else’s. You would think, for example, that there had never been any slavery in history, except for that in America, in the 200 years from when the nation was formed to its outlawing in 1865, never mind that the British outlawed it 2 generations earlier. In fact, slavery has existed since before civilization began and still goes on today, with some 21 to 45 million trapped in it. In just seven years between 1938 and 1945, Germany enslaved a number equivalent to 400 years of Transatlantic Slave Trade. Include Japan and the number is double. American cultural narratives dominate”

Several Bitcoin Youtube accounts made it onto the fiat grift group Center for Countering Digital Hate’s “The New Climate Denial”
Congratulations for living rent-free in these grifters’ heads!

“The New Climate Denial”
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Fiat-run Censorship Industrial Complex group Center for Countering Digital Hate continues to expand their nonsense as highlighted in Doomberg’s latest “Climate Newspeak”
The desperation of climate hysterics reaches all time highs.
Interesting piece on Public about Biden’s natural gas export ban.
The usual suspects are involved; fiat climate hysteria “scientists”, the corporate press, and high time preference politicians.

Corporate Press hacks and Paul Krugman are projecting their own mental, character, and moral defects onto others.
