Cold winter exposes climate frauds: Germany returns to coal

As it turns out, not freezing to death and not murdering the economy is actually more important than meeting “climate goals.”

This is weird…. After “leading the way” for the climate communists, Germany now faces a freezing winter and ballooning energy crises — they’re at the precipice of an economic meltdown, so they’re bringing back their coal.

See what Bloomberg had to say:

Germany is set to boost its reliance on coal as it battles an unprecedented energy crisis — even at the expense of its ambitious climate goals.

…coal is making a comeback as countries seek to prevent soaring energy costs from triggering an economic meltdown. In Europe, the crisis is acute, after Russia curbed natural gas supplies in the fallout of its war in Ukraine.

(Oh how I’m relishing in President Trump’s ‘told ya so’ moment right now.)

Additionally, the article includes a quote from Carlos Fernandez Alvarez, who is the “acting head of gas, coal and power at the International Energy Agency.” A precursory scan of the website yields a consistent lexicon. You’ll see the words “sustainable” and “clean energy”, and some of their technologies include “carbon capture” and “methane abatement” — cull the cows and bring on the cricket food! (Obviously, the political agenda is one of climate communism.)

Per Alvarez:

Everyone is keeping their climate targets, but it’s true that when you face the dilemma to keep the lights on or decrease carbon emissions, the choice is to keep the lights on[.]

Two interesting points that arise from the above assertion:

First, Alvarez acknowledges that a transition away from gas and coal as a source of energy is at this moment, not achievable without forcing people to return to the Dark Ages. Ramrodding through policy to conform to “climate goals” results in “an unprecedented energy crisis”...

A splash of LNG would also be welcome.

Cutter has no LNG. All wasted during the World Cup.

Is that you, Greta?

“Cutter has no LNG. All wasted during the World Cup.”

While I agree that bribing people in FIFA and the EU costs a pretty penny, Cutter does have a large LNG export terminal. The question will be who gets their gas, as China and the Third World are FAR MORE reliable than Europe, as they answer to Greta, and Greta is making them soon end all fossil fuel use.

There is no country named Cutter in the Middle East

“There is no country named Cutter in the Middle East”

Take that up with the news networks.

Oh that’s a good one. I’m gonna steal that.
