Always going up: global temperatures and our ‘green’ surcharges

 

Today our cousins across the Big Pond vote in the midterm elections. Given the time zones across that huge country the results won’t be announced instantaneously. How much the expected change, the predicted ‘Red Wave’ will affect US and therefore World politics remains to be seen. There’s one aspect to this election which is significant – more on that below.

Meanwhile, there’s that jamboree in Sharm-El-Sheik. Predictably, the BBC, having tried to nudge the whole nation for decades into accepting ‘climate horror’, has chosen to put the front pages of the most fervent watermelon papers at the top of their daily compilation (link).

Someone ought to tell the climate loons and their helpers in the newsrooms that we’ve become so used to their daily fear porn excesses that we simply don’t care any longer. People want to get to work, people want to see trees rather than bird shredders and people do not want to pay through the nose for schemes instituted by politicians simply in order to look good on the green international stage. 

Speaking of which, the obligatory group photo of all those heads of state attending yon conference ought to make our feminists cry. Here it is in the DM (link) – you can play ‘find the woman’! ‘Our Rishi’ is in the back row, hard to find, therefore our broadsheets printed a sweet little photo of the wannabe Napoleon and Sunak greeting each other like long-lost brothers (link). Gawd. I nearly spewed my coffee over my PC. 

The combined green army of ‘eco’-alarmists predicts that things are getting worse, according to the report in The Times:

“Cop27 has been billed as the world’s last chance to prevent global warming of more than 1.5C above historic levels, but progress since last year’s summit in Glasgow has stalled. Recent analysis has shown we are on course for between 2.4C and 2.8C because new plans by countries have been too weak.” (link, paywalled)

So the world didn’t ‘go green’ fast enough in one year? The fact that there was that slight inconvenience of the mostly locked-down ‘emergency’, a.k.a. Covid, having driven most economies to the wall, has of course nothing to do with ‘weak new plans’. Odd that nobody asks how come that those ‘green plans’ instituted in the past decades seem to have had no effect on those ‘rising’ temperatures at all. Isn’t there something wrong, somewhere?

Green crap must be paid for. That is something the extinction and last generation climate terrorists generally overlook. They are screaming for ‘reparations’ however – a cool £1trillion. The DM, reporting that Sunak preferred to remind everyone that ‘we’re all in this together’ (link), ran a poll and found that 98% of DM readers reject such reparations (link). They even published an opinion piece with the headline “It’s insane to demand we pay for the ‘sin’ of our industrial past when China wreaks such climate damage today” (link). 

As for me, I see this as a beautiful fat squirrel, diverting our attention from the other ‘aspect’ Sunak touched on in his speech. The DT writes:

“The Russian war on Ukraine is a reason to “act faster” on climate change, Rishi Sunak said on Monday as he delivered a major speech at the Cop27 climate change summit in Egypt. Making his debut on the world stage as Prime Minister, Mr Sunak acknowledged the scale of the challenges posed by rising energy costs and the war in Ukraine. But he told delegates: “Vladimir Putin’s abhorrent war in Ukraine and rising energy prices across the world are not a reason to go slow on climate change – they are a reason to go faster.” (paywalled link)

So “we” have to go greener faster, no matter the cost to our economy, because ‘Teh West’ is unwilling to get yon Ukrainian ‘leader’ to the negotiating table? How … interesting! Who knew that thence months of war had such influence on those alarming temperature rises in the short time!

But if you thought that Sunak would refuse ‘climate reparations’ you better think again. He’s left open the door to our paying more:

“[Sunak was] noting that Britain is tripling its funding to help poorer nations adapt to the realities of climate change, he insisted it was “morally right to honour our promises” in the wake of devastation such as the floods in Pakistan.” (paywalled link)

Aww, doesn’t that make us feel proud! ‘Tis odd though that on the same page in the same paper we find wails and howls about taxes:

 “Inheritance to be targeted in tax raid by Jeremy Hunt – Chancellor agrees to freeze tax threshold for another two years as he battles to balance the books ahead of next week’s Autumn Statement” (paywalled link)

Well, dear greenies – the money for all those green ‘schemes’ has to come from somewhere! It’s only fair that ‘Teh Rich’ will have to pay, that their kids not inherit wealth because “we” must pay for our sins, from slavery and colonialism to inventing the Industrial Revolution. Since we’re ‘all in it together’, according to rich Rishi and the rest of the rich green climate prophets, it’s best to impoverish the whole planet, throwing in a few programmes for depopulation by the back door. They will still have enough to lord it over us.

There is a connection between these wet green dreams and the US midterm elections. A report came into my inbox late last night describing what some political analysts looking at the predicted ‘Red Wave’ have found out:

“The Democrats’ insistence on focusing on luxury issues like climate change is at the root of the problem. While voters trust them more on this issue, no one cares what the temperature will be 100 years from now when they are not sure they can afford heating oil. Preferred pronouns are unimportant when you have to skip dinner so your kids have more to eat because grocery prices are out of sight.” (link)

Just so! Over there just like over here and across the Channel, ‘Teh Left’ campaigns on luxury items, showing how utterly out of touch they are with the reality we are facing. However, cynical old me thinks that this is precisely what those politicians and their string-pullers want: people who have to worry about feeding their kids and keeping their homes warm don’t have the time to take to the streets. Only those rich ecoloons can afford to do so. We know what they demand: more of the same, with ‘extra’s like ‘reparations’. 

Do they not realise that there won’t be any money, for nothing and no-one,  once the Western Nations’ economies have totally crashed thanks to their demands? Have they not been told about the goose laying golden eggs and what happened to her? Granny could’ve told them …
