Fortunately for Greta, Lobotomy, an older medical treatment for Retards, can still be performed using a sharp bamboo stick through an eye socket.

Actual Quora post may be this version (pay)

Another Quora response:

anyone who flatout wants to ban all “fossil fuels” has no concept of what that would entail, or how that would affect the populace as a whole. They have not sat down and spent some time on what that means or even how much of their lives are affected by “fossil fuels”. For starters the year after the ban it would mean that as many as 1,000,000,000 world wide would die. Most of these would be children, and elderly people. As well as those that are chronically ill or have diseases like diabetes or HIV.
The following two to three years around 4,000,000,000 people would die from starvation/lack of clean water/lack of resources/lack of medical care. The changes to our lives would be incalculable and would be worse than a nuclear strike. The destruction that this would cause in our lives is incalculable.
To break this down, take a city like Chicago Illinois. With a population of 2.76 million people. So Chicago use around 127,000,000,000 megawatt hours of electricity per year. Of which 92% of that is from “fossil fuels” so Chicago’s 119,380,000,000 megawatt hours of electricity now has to come from some other source. You can not install enough solar or wind fast enough to make up this difference if you were to cut all use of “fossil fuels” by the end of 2020.
The average American consumes around 1996 lbs of food a year. So you will need to bring into the city of Chicago 2,754,480 tons of food stuff a year or 5,508,960,000 lbs of food stuffs a year. Normally this is transported by plane, train, truck, and ship. But seeing how there is no transport anymore (unless you are looking at a wagon train) there will only be a fraction of the needed food reaching the city of Chicago.

During famines of all kinds, people suffer. But the elite survive and thrive.

So don’t be scared by this story, Greta. It’s instructive, to be sure. But you, Al Gore, and Bill Gates will ride things out just fine. Suffering is for the little people.
🙁

one where there were no petroleum products ruining the earth. She tossed aside her cotton sheet and wool blanket

Without petroleum you won't get wool or cotton either. You could take a club and kill an animal, and skin it with a flint knife, if you have the skill to hone a flint knife, and then wear it, though you probably have to figure out how to clean it and cure it or you will smell like the dead animal you just killed, if you can kill it.

Our ape forbears survived out of the tree canopy only because, even though they weren't homo sapiens, did have brain cavities large enough to support basic skills like stone tools and hunting and fire. It turns out fire was absolutely essential to get the calories out of food you can gather to support and enlarged brain which cannot be suppoted by the calories you can get from just scrounging fruit and nuts and berries.

BWA HAAAAAA

I love it
I just love it .

But none of the little eco tiwts will listen...
the drone of their college professor just blocks out the truth.
And the roar of the WEF drowns out any other voice.

I am just now finding out how far along the 15 minute city program is in the US.
Market st in San Fran wasn't killed by crime and drugs ... it is being prepped and almost there. The program is being put in place right in front of us.

Tune in tomorrow when Greta needs a root canal and learns how Novocain is synthesized.

LOL! I wish. But this is what these Luddite environmentalists want. They should all be made to go live in the wilderness for one year. Naked and with no tools.
