Get ready!!

quote:

At the Climate Summit in Dubai on Tuesday, representatives from nearly every nation on Earth agreed to transition away from planet-warming fossil fuels in a first-of-its-kind deal, sending a powerful signal that the world is united in its desire to cut its reliance on oil, natural gas and coal.

Hugging Arab leaders. Something doesn’t add up.

Nuclear plants should be built all over the world but instead, we will try something far more inefficient and far more damaging to the environment like solar, windmills, etc

I’ve also agreed in a first-of-its-kind deal to only bang supermodels every day, signaling a powerful message.

No objection here. That just means that there is more oil, gas, and coal for the rest of us.

They’ll just use this as a way to seize control of them.

It is Energy that underlies the burgeoning populations that inhabit the Earth. Less Energy = less people. Unless those who make the decisions and implement the policy stand in the same ration lines that the common folk do, the common folk will take that as a "let them eat cake" scenario, and out come the guillotines. Seems that the highly intelligent elites would realize this, or it could be that their hubris distorts their rational observation.

Maybe the 'Aliens' give us their High Tech, or the MIC lets go of it's secret military research of such, or the Quantum Computers figure it out and we replace fossil fuels with some heretofore unknown source of energy. Otherwise, formerly affluent society feels the pressure of need/want and the unrest begins. Volatile time regardless.

It's easy to make that pledge when you control the fossil fuels so you will always have cheap energy, and then restrict fossil fuels for the masses, creating expensive energy for them, and thus enabling control of the population.

My platform is cheap energy. It's the #1 way to prosper as an economy and essential for civilization and freedom.

"Agree on the idea"...

So, the Arab states agree to the idea of wrecking their economy?

Let me know when China, India, and Pakistan make meaningful cuts to their emissions and then I might believe there is a true "climate crisis"...

We gonna start hunting whales again then? We'll need something to create light and heat.

Will be difficult to create batteries, wind turbines, solar panels, etc., without using any petroleum products (I refuse to say "fossil fuels" as petroleum is produced naturally by the Earth).

Tires, clothing, soap, some medications, shoes, toothpaste, asphalt.

Hundreds of products that we have no way to produce without using oil.

I bet China is one of them, and is getting paid to transition off of fossil fuels 50 years after everybody else.
