We cannot support a world population of billions without large amounts of energy. Green energy projects invariably mean less energy, which invariably shuts down people's lifestyles. People want to continue traveling around, hence the riots in Chile.
If warmists believed a word of their own bullshit, the money received for carbon offset credits would be spent on actually offsetting carbon emissions, for example by pulverizing olivine rocks and dumping them in the shallow ocean, stimulating the natural process where by calcium silicates get converted into silica and calcium carbonate.
Instead carbon credits money is spent on jetsetting around the world to pontificate on global warming.
If warmists believed a word of their own bullshit, green energy projects would produce useful energy, instead of superior holiness.
What green energy projects produce is shakedowns of the power grid. You get higher energy prices, and frequently get blackouts and brownouts.
We could in fact produce the required energy without carbon emissions either using nuclear power, or by mining olivine to offset the carbon emitted by burning coal or oil, but the warmists have shown zero interest in actually producing energy without emitting net carbon.
That green energy projects never actually work shows that warmists do not in fact believe what they purport to believe.
Some of them want to murder billions of people,
This is in fact true (task of the day: identify these "11,000 experts" and make their identification public, if not already done so - these 11,000 "experts" need exposing, evidently): 11,000 Experts Propose Final Solution To Global Warming: Just Kill Billions Of People https://www.zerohedge.com/health/11000-experts-make-modest-proposal-end-glob... Over 40 years ago, scientists from 50 nations pivoted on a longstanding "global cooling" thesis that was going to blanket the earth in ice, and instead adopted what was then called the "CO2-climate problem" which would lead to theories on global warming, rising tides and economic catastrophe. "Now, four decades later, a larger group of scientists is sounding another, much more urgent alarm," according to Bloomberg. https://www.bloombergquint.com/business/scientists-call-for-population-contr... Some 11,000 scientists call for population control in mass climate alarm https://t.co/7L2cD3tK6e pic.twitter.com/Fv7br3iAU7 — Bloomberg Economics (@economics) November 5, 2019 Over 11,000 experts from around the world have banded together to call for solutions to the the 'climate emergency,' including population control - which "must be stabilized—and, ideally, gradually reduced—within a framework that ensures social integrity." "We declare, with more than 11,000 scientist signatories from around the world, clearly and unequivocally that planet Earth is facing a climate emergency," warned the scientists in the Tuesday edition of BioScience, in a report that includes lots of scary charts we're guessing Tony Heller could have some fun with. https://academic.oup.com/bioscience/advance-article/doi/10.1093/biosci/biz08... https://realclimatescience.com/2019/04/who-is-tony-heller/ The solution? Fewer people! When absorbed in sequence, the charts lay out a devastating trend for planetary health. From meat consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and ice loss to sea-level rise and extreme weather events, they lay out a grim portrait of 40 years of squandered opportunities. The scientists make specific calls for policymakers to quickly implement systemic change to energy, food, and economic policies. But they go one step further, into the politically fraught territory of population control. It “must be stabilized—and, ideally, gradually reduced—within a framework that ensures social integrity,” they write. -Bloomberg https://www.bloombergquint.com/business/scientists-call-for-population-contr... "We are encouraged by a recent surge of concern," reads the letter. "Governmental bodies are making climate emergency declarations. Schoolchildren are striking. Ecocide lawsuits are proceeding in the courts. Grassroots citizen movements are demanding change, and many countries, states and provinces, cities, and businesses are responding. Perhaps world leaders will consult with China, which has reportedly been sterilizing Muslim women in their infamous reeducation camps. https://nypost.com/2019/08/13/muslim-women-reportedly-sterilized-in-chinese-...
some of them want to seize the means of production, and most of them want to shake down the energy grid.
Revealed preference is that actually reducing CO2 emissions is mighty low on their list of priorities - or at least reducing CO2 emissions in ways that do not destroy industrial civilization and result in the deaths of billions of people is mighty low on their list of priorities.
Millenials, listen up!: Buy all the things. Eat all the bugs, for all their protein. Kill all the babies. Have all the fun. Ride all the cocks. Bang all the chicks. Pay all the tax. Believe all the 11,000 experts. Continue to be all the sheeple. Glad we got THAT sorted! Ride on, Georgian Monoliths, ride on!
