Let\u2019s do follow the climate money!<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

The climate crisis industry incessantly claims that fossil fuel emissions are causing unprecedented temperature, climate and weather changes that pose existential threats to human civilization and our planet. The only solution, Climate Crisis, Inc. insists, is to eliminate the oil, coal and natural gas that provide 80% of the energy that makes US and global economies, health and living standards<\/a> possible.<\/p>\n

Failing that, CCI demands steadily increasing taxes on carbon-based fuels and carbon dioxide emissions.<\/p>\n

However, as France\u2019s Yellow Vest protests<\/a> and the latest climate confab in Poland demonstrated, the world is not prepared to go down that dark path. Countries worldwide are expanding<\/i> their reliable fossil fuel use, and families do not want to reduce their living standards or their aspirations for better lives.<\/p>\n

Moreover, climate computer model forecasts are completely out of touch with real-world observations<\/a>. There is no evidence to support claims that the slight temperature, climate and weather changes we\u2019ve experienced are dangerous, unprecedented or caused by humans, instead of by the powerful solar, oceanic and other natural forces that have driven similar or far more serious changes throughout history.<\/p>\n

More importantly, the CCI \u201csolutions\u201d would cause unprecedented disruption of modern industrialized societies; permanent poverty and disease in poor countries; and serious ecological damage worldwide.<\/p>\n

Nothing that is required to harness breezes and sunshine to power civilization is clean, green, renewable, climate-friendly or sustainable. Tens of billions of tons of rock would have to be removed, to extract billions of tons of ores, to create millions of tons of metals, concrete and other materials, to manufacture millions of wind turbines and solar panels, and install them on millions of acres of wildlife habitats \u2013 to generate expensive, intermittent energy that would be grossly insufficient for humanity\u2019s needs. Every step in this process requires fossil fuels \u2013 and some of the mining involves child labor<\/a>.<\/p>\n
