When did people become so ridiculous that they accepted the notion of submitting to a criminal organization that’s only claim to rule is the violence it inflicts. From Jeffrey Tucker at The Epoch Times via zerohedge.com:
The world media breathlessly reported last week on what they say was huge and important news.
Two hundred people who claim to speak for billions of others, because they happen to have a title associated with a government post and are involved with the United Nations, say that the planet needs to transition away from fossil fuels, meaning oil, gas, and coal.
Oh, sure. If this happens, and the world truly does go dark as we revert back hundreds of years in progress, there will be hell to pay. These big shots who agreed to this will be long gone, their bank accounts stuffed with payoffs of various sorts. No one will take responsibility at all. It’s not just a plot against progress; it’s a plot against the world’s poorest in all nations.
More likely, this is more public relations blather.
Not that it won’t be damaging, but 2023 is not 2013, when people were more naïve about this whole topic.
Now we are very aware of the utter impossibility of preserving anything approaching civilization without what they say we are to transition away from using.
This whole scene is so ridiculous that it is hard to fathom. Central planning has never worked on any level of government. It certainly has not worked for global governments working together. And it has never been attempted on a whole sector like this, much less the single most important sector, namely that which provides us with energy that powers civilization itself.
