To Butt-gig-

To pass on a great phrase, recently tossed at an elevator riding Karen:
“I don’t care what you think”

Pete loves the high energy prices. He thinks expensive gas will destroy demand. Hang this bell on that Cats neck.

he is unfit for purpose, like most of the climate facecards.
BBC knows how to find them. Hohn has been a shill for years, with his phony “children’s” “foundation”:

26m30s to 29s51s: Cliona Howie, CEO, Foundation Earth, scheme to label every single component of every product worldwide with their environmental grade system, based on traffic system - GREEN to red, plus A to G, using their rigourous, scientific methodology.

45m to 52m59s: Chris Hohn, Children’s Investment Fund Foundation; wants mandatory bank divestment in fossil fuels, steel, cement, chemicals, transportation; 90% of known coal reserves & 60% of known oil & gas reserves must be left in the ground, etc; admits he profited from the “system”, but he is now on a mission over “climate” because he has children, cares for the poor children of the world, and he believes in “social justice”.

AUDIO: 52m59s: BBC World Service: Newshour
Presenter: James Menendez
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w172xv5bswcm3k0

Foundation Earth: Our friends and Partners
Tyson, Nestle, Pepsico ETC ETC
https://www.foundation-earth.org/

from Cliona Howie’s bio: Cliona has held important roles such as championing sustainable business in SMEs as the Chair of the European Commission’s Enterprise Europe Network for several years, as well as sitting on a range of committees and working groups for the European Commission to influence policy and EU funding programmes.

Wikipedia: Chris Hohn
Sir Christopher Anthony Hohn KCMG (born October 1966) is a British billionaire hedge fund manager and philanthropist.
In 2003, Hohn established The Children’s Investment Fund Management (TCI), a prominent value-based investment fund manager noted for long-term, owner orientated engagement with publicly listed companies. Profits generated by the fund were proportionately allocated to The Children’s Investment Fund Foundation, a registered charity in England and Wales that focuses on improving the lives of children living in poverty in developing countries. He is known as an activist investor.

As of 2014, he had given over $4.5 billion to The Children’s Investment Fund Foundation. Hohn is worth $5 billion according to the Forbes billionaires list in 2020, an increase of $1.9 billion from 2019. In 2019 Forbes put Hohn in the list of the world’s most generous philanthropists outside of the US. In recent years, Hohn has become an outspoken advocate of urgent action on the climate crisis, and a prolific contributor to the cause...

In 2019 it was reported by The Daily Telegraph that Hohn had donated £50,000 to environmental activist group Extinction Rebellion, with a further £150,000 donated by the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation. None of the Charity’s money was spent on civil disobedience, it was claimed.[16]

In April 2020, he made a £2.4 million donation to purchase around 100 SAMBA II machines to test for COVID-19.

And when you get home, you find out your electricity was cut off because you reached your limit on that. You eat your bugs raw.

I’d love to see Petey go through a 4-hour hemodialysis treatment and then cycle 45 minutes home in a thunderstorm. That’s where this suggestion goes.

A friend of mine suggested that I start cycling instead of driving, just for the hell of it, and explained that it would only make things worse. My heart is not in the best shape, my transplanted kidney is barely hanging on, and God forbid I spent my day puking. Driving I could do. A bicycle? No way.

He needs an e-bike with a lithium-ion battery that is recharged by burning coal.

Obvious BS blathered by Pervert on behalf of Central Intersectional Agency, none of whom know anything about transportation nor energy provision for transportation.
