Net Zero Will End Modern Civilization [semi-satire]
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 15 January 2023 | John Semmens

Dr. Wallace Manheimer, a man with a physics PhD from MIT and 50-years of experience in nuclear research, warns that "there is certainly no scientific basis for expecting a climate crisis from too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in the next century or so. Electric cars, wind and solar power–all have massive disadvantages, and are incapable of replacing existing systems without devastating consequences."

The United Kingdom's nincompoop King Charles, a man who once aspired to be a tampon, lives in several palaces and jets around the world calling for the end of consumerism and convenience as "the only rational way of combating climate change." Of course, the suffering must be endured commoners so the important people like himself "can have adequate resources with which to guide an impoverished population to respect their betters. Just like it was when King Henry VIII ruled."

Manheimer denounced "the partnership among self-interested businesses, grandstanding politicians and alarmist campaigners is an unholy alliance. This climate industrial complex is not interested in how we might overcome climate change in a way that will be best for everyone. Their aim is to make a profit for themselves by selling expensive devices that are incapable of solving any problem other than transferring tax dollars into their own pockets."

Of course. The end of civilization is what they want. Net Zero is just a means to attain that end.

see: Club of Rome, Maurice Strong, neo-Malthusians

No satire in the initial paragraph. Simple fact. The consequences of the global warming hoax will devastate our teetering civilization.

Many of the tenets of the Left's ideology are purely emotional and so, so shallow.

In fact, if one didn't know better, one would think that the name of each of the tenets of the Left is a "post-hypnotic trigger."

Like when a leftie hears the words "climate change," it thinks of big-eyed (perhaps with glistening tears) baby polar bears sitting on a disappearing ice floe.

After such an interior vision, the Leftie feels this overpowering urge to correct someone's carbon-spewing behavior.

At that moment (and for only a little while, except for Greta T.) the Leftie becomes Karen--Keeper of the Planet.

"How wonderful," they say to themselves. "How wonderful to spread the gospel of the Left." "I wonder what triggered that urge?" "I was just minding my business when I heard the word 'climate' somewhere off in the distance." "Next thing I know, I'm helping to fix the planet."

"Wow." "It's so great to be alive...and to be a faithful Leftie."

In King County, Washington State there was some written platform thing about teaching in schools. It said something to the effect that “When teaching about climate change the teaching should emphasize emotions and feelings rather than strict scientific facts.”

Anytime politics is injected into a subject, that subject is ruined.

If you are looking for the truth, you have to put your biases aside. But politics is nothing if not bias. Once an issue becomes politicized, the truth becomes an impossible dream.

As an aside, the same is true about institutions. Once an institution becomes infected with a political ideology, it ceases to be guided by people who have mental clarity. That institution becomes disconnected from reality (and reality is "the truth").

"Bias" is the antimatter to the "truth's" matter.

They cannot co-exist side-by-side.

The left also thinks along the lines of, if we do good things the consequences will be good in the long run. They think they can rewrite the universe.

Amazingly, that is what the deconstructionists like Derrida have preached. That reality is what you make it, how you define it...or want it to be. The deconstruction of reality means raising all those questions that heretofore have been off limits. Like "Is reality even real?" If the answer is "no," does that mean I can design my own reality? The answer, according to the Woke movement, is a resounding "Yes."

Since it is completely insane for anyone to believe this, those who are leading this gospel movement must know that it is only a front--a facade--for something else (like Marxism, totalitarianism, or globalism).

The problem starts when someone else tells them to mind their OWN business and then feelings of rage take over. Since they won’t accept NO! For an answer, these midget tyrants will do virtually anything to destroy you personally. Someone once said the primary reason for the second amendment was to deal with those who just won’t take NO! for an answer. Looking like either a lot of dealing is about to happen or a lot of bending over.

The PBS show “This Old House were doing shows called Net Zero a dozen years ago. The commies have been at this a long time.
They slap a label on something and ignore reality.

A house “net zero”!
Where does all the concrete, wood, asphalt, rubber, plastic, copper and steel and aluminum and carpet and wallpaper and porcelain and tile etc etc come from?

But it has solar panels they exclaim!
Where do all the materials from those come from?

I saw one show where they had a guy bragging on having 5kw of power from solar panels and another 5kw from wind. Only cost about $50,000 !!

He also had battery backup (no price stated) of 5kw.
That is 50 100 watt light bulbs of power IF the solar panels had full sun out or the wind was blowing. On the show the wind was only producing 1kw....
