Are You Even Aware That There Is Another Big UN Climate Conference Going On?
November 14, 2024/ Francis Menton

The overwhelming focus of the environmental movement over the past three decades and more has been the push to eliminate the use of hydrocarbon fuels and transform the world’s energy system into something based on supposedly cleaner wind and sun.  This effort has always been doomed to failure, because energy produced by wind and sun does not work satisfactorily and is wildly too expensive.  So it has long been obvious to the well-informed that this whole effort will inevitably go away at some point.  But after the desperate cries of crisis and alarm from thousands of activists for decades on end, and after the trillions of dollars government funds invested, how could that possibly occur?

My prediction has long been that at some point the whole thing would just quietly fade away, as if it had never happened.  It would become like dozens of other (admittedly less pervasive) environmental scares of my lifetime, from acid rain to gypsy moths to alar to bee colony collapse and many more.  One day there would just be no more news stories about these things, and they would pass from public attention.  Despite the much larger effort behind the climate scare, there is no reason that the same thing could not happen.  Nobody who had promoted the scare would ever admit they were wrong.  Those people would just move on to the next cause without mentioning that this one had been forgotten. 

Frankly, with regard to the global warming scare, I thought that this would have occurred well before now.  However, somehow trillions of dollars of government funding can have a magical effect of motivating those feasting on the bounty to keep the scare going.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
