Irina: If you haven't already, watch the movie Elysium, with Matt Damon and Jodie Foster.

In 2154, Earth is overpopulated, diseased, and polluted. The planet’s citizens live in poverty while the rich and powerful live on Elysium, an orbiting space station just outside of Earth’s atmosphere. It's my go-to imagery which comes to mind when I'm reading about the various shenanigans coming from the climate catastrophists, i.e. Thunberg et al. What's good for thee and what's good for me, well, never the two shall meet.

Anyone with outrageous beliefs like that can go ahead and walk that plank if they so choose -- go ahead and get rid of all their money and move to a 3rd world country so they can live in "equity" every day. For the rest of us, we'll keep on keepin on. ✌️

That meme of "the weather is always your fault and the only solution is more communism" is looking more and more like premonition

Every time I read one of your articles I have a giant steak, book a flight and go for a drive to nowhere. Keep it up.

Funny how no "researcher" decries the wasted money and climate costs of the annual gatherings. In Canada our feckless leader has planes flying 10 minute hops so he doesn't have to "waste" valuable time caught in plebian traffic jams. This has always been a game for a new elite to assume control over our lives. It is always for the better good and never for the elites who preach it. Bugs for thee and steals for me. Another great article Irina. My weightlifting session will be extra good today with all the energy I now have....

If John “I served in Vietnam” Kerry and Al the Gore would ditch their private jets and take public transportation everywhere along with getting rid of their many energy hogging mansions I might just might possibly change my behavior. But since they will not change I will keep eating meat, driving my car and other so called earth unfriendly behavior.

One question and one question only determines if a person is willing to support serious efforts on climate change mitigation ( and pollution, high energy costs, energy poverty as a happy added bonus). That question is:

Do you support a massive, broad & rapid expansion of Nuclear Energy?

So ANYONE touting climate change, ALWAYS ask them that question, first & foremost. That will tell you who and what they are.

Anyone who touts climate change alarmism and doesn't answer with a resounding YES, I DO, is either a dimwit, a grifter, a hypocrite or a closet Malthusian or more likely a combination of all 4.

If you don't give a damn about climate change, then that is not the case. However there are essential reasons why you should answer YES to the question. Namely that the World energy supply needs to expand 5X to elevate the standard of living of developing nations to acceptable levels. There is no way you can do that with fossil energy. Implausible. Fossil prices would skyrocket and crush our economy. No wonder our Malthusian scarcity promoting Overlords despise Nuclear Energy so much and go to great lengths to suppress it.

Imagine being as visionary as the promoters of this bullsh1t. They can see everything we can't and we must do as they say in order to be saved, even if it's painful for us. It's a scam. Sustainable = Subsidy = transfer of wealth for poor to rich. I won't object one iota if these people want to create a template somewhere in the world where all their believers can try out their plan. Report back the findings in say 5yrs and then us non-believers can make a better judgement of the actual impacts of their policies. My prediction would be that many believers would become non-believers.

Electric stove and BBQ (once it warms up a bit). 90 % of our ⚡ is from natural gas.
