The Great Green Leap Backwards
American Thinker ^ | 21 Dec, 2020 | Viv Forbes

Posted on 12/21/2020 4:38:36 AM PST by MtnClimber

The Green Virus is on a rising curve in the Anglo-Sphere.

Boris, Biden, Kerry, Trudeau, Arden and Australia’s Morrison are all competing to be the first to destroy all industries reliant on coal, cattle, petrol and diesel. Hydrogen, solar, wind, pumped hydro, biofuels, carbon cemeteries and batteries are hyped everywhere, especially in academia, Hollywood, most media and the bureaucracies. Big business is widely supportive – they see big profits in supplying metals for this Green Revolution and mining more coal to power Carbon Capture plants.

The forlorn hope is that if we spend enough money on green indulgence payments it will end floods, fires, droughts, cyclones and “super-storms”.

These green shackles will certainly cool the economy, but we should hope they do not cool the climate. When natural cyclic cooling sends Arctic ice sheets marching south again, and Chicago, Moscow, Berlin and London are threatened, people living near a nuclear power station or an operating coal mine will be the lucky ones. And no one will waste food crops to produce bio-diesel.

19 Dec: Forbes: We Need An Operation Warp Speed To Battle Climate Change
by Wal van Lierop
Thanks to the European and South Korean Green Deals and President-elect Joe Biden’s $2 trillion climate plan, the world is positioned to do it. Just as the original Operation Warp Speed met the need for timely new treatments and vaccines, this operation would deliver game-changing innovations for our climate crisis.
Time is short, however. To contain global warming to 1.5° C or at least to 2° C, the world must become carbon neutral by 2050...

Efficiency and energy saving technologies, together with wind, solar, batteries and biomass are instrumental to eliminating the first half of our fossil fuel usage. Increasingly, though, it seems unlikely that these technologies can address the second half of the energy transition: how to power cement, steel, chemicals, and the other heavy industries that account for at least 40% of worldwide emissions...

If we want to, we together can make the world a better and safer place to live. Let’s ensure that in 2030, when we look back on this decade, we will be proud of what has been achieved and amazed at how slowly things still moved in 2020. Speed up, stay safe and make the 20s roar again (take two)!

They don’t stop to consider how polluting and how much energy it requires to make solar panels, windmills, and batteries.

Biomass = Trees, waste to energy plants, etc.

It still produces CO2.

I am seeing a huge upsurge of "meatless" meat - in the meat sections of supermarkets and on local restaurant menus - often featured prominently.

Had your large dose of soy today?

Ground floor is insects nicely packaged instead of those poor cows that died for burgers
