Riots in Chile

[jamesd at echeque.com]

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, 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.
