Climate Politics Threatens an Era of Energy Poverty

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s call for aggressive action against a so-called climate crisis at the United Nations presages similar statements that surely will be made by the dangerously misinformed in the coming months and augurs disastrous energy policy.

Humanity has to “grow up” and tackle climate change, the prime minister told world leaders assembled in New York, predicting catastrophe if warnings are ignored.

“We will see desertification, drought, crop failure, and mass movements of humanity on a scale not seen before,” said Johnson, whose predictions surely will be as wrong as those of Al Gore’s visions of flooding coastlines but who will nonetheless host the U.N.’s November Conference of Parties 26 (COP26) in Glasgow.

Attending COP26 will be world leaders who want to persuade more countries to adopt the CO2 emissions goal of “Net Zero by 2050.” Key conference speakers include Pope Francis, Her Majesty Queen of England, Greta Thunberg, and Sir David Attenborough, none of whom is a climate scientist or with an academic background in the subject.

This guy was supposed to be "a conservative", but has instead turned out to be a twerp.

Boris, if you want to prevent those things above, do this:
- Re-open any closed coal mines in Britain, and get them producing again.
- Re-open any closed coal-fired generating plants. Get plenty of new ones a-buildin'. Enough so that you can CLOSE and abandon all wind-powered and solar generation if necessary.
- Go back to the North Sea and go after whatever petroleum and gas reserves you can find.

That ought to do, for a start...
