There is an oil field discovered a few years ago below west Texas that is bigger than any field in Saudi Arabia. Add to that the incredible amounts of natural gas available - one of the cleanest fuels available - and there is still hundreds of years of "fossil" fuels around. There is simply no truth to be found in any media sources the vast majority of the public are subjected to daily (and have been for decades). While the west obsesses over CO2 and transsexuals China and Russia are just continuing to gain in power because they have not abandoned the fundamental rules of reality. Propaganda seems to be the only innovation the West has made in the past twenty years. When the same people telling you that the First Amendment is a problem are also telling us that the oceans are going to boil, a warning light should be going off in everyone's head

Well, the gods first make mad those whom they would destroy. We seem to want people in charge who hate us and want us dead, by any means necessary. As I've said for years, a people that's stupid enough to burn its food supply as fuel for cars will get what it deserves.

yes, I've also read that there is something like five hundred years of coal. all the climate hysterics said we'd run out of base metals, copper, zinc etc and first it was a new ice age, global warming is now climate change or something. Malthus was wrong and all the chicken littles since have been wrong. I've also read that oil is abiotic but have no idea whether that's true or not. Weather changes, sometimes it's a hard winter and a hot summer. droughts and dust bowls happen.

Climate catastrophe sales pitches are not different than the rain makers who came to prairie towns and told the folks they were sinners but he could make it rain if they paid their tithings or let him run off with the mayor's daughter. "boogety boogety boo", three days later it rains and the guy was prophet.

The nature of human beings never changes. It can't. It's part of the grand design. So, the 20% of people who shape the future will always either be supported by or hindered by the 80% who must be ideologically captured in order to storm the ramparts of the future's castles. Sometimes a passionate and eloquent orator like Ronald Regan or JFK or Julius Caesar comes along and sways people with his words and deeds, other times it's Hitler and Stalin and Mao who push enormous piles of bullshit, forcefully, onto people for so long they have no choice but to learn the hard way.

That's where we are with climatology and all the offshoots like trannies, DEI and borderless societies, the offshoots being coercion to obey the high priests of making it rain.

Of course, it was ever thus.
