If only the peasants would just surrender!
When I saw this headline in the opinion pages of the WSJ, I had high hopes that some scientist pointed out that politicians and bureaucrats can’t control the climate:
We Can’t Stop Climate Change, So We Need to Prepare for It
Sadly, I was wrong. The article was a pure piece of garbage, essentially claiming that despite the work of green pushers to scare everyone into capitulation to the radical green agenda, people just won’t cooperate. The writers complain that, “Around the world, people are giving priority to higher living standards, economics, and access to affordable energy above a stable climate.” Heaven forbid that people want to live with higher living standards and cheaper energy than accepting unaffordable taxation schemes to prop up unreliable technologies!
Here is an excerpt:
Despite decades of dire projections about the climate, humanity has shown that it’s unwilling to impose the limits on economic activity that would be necessary to keep global warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius, or even below 2 degrees. As global energy demand continues to grow, fossil-fuel use remains dominant, and political commitments fall short of the necessary transformation. It isn’t that society can’t change but that it won’t. Around the world, people are giving priority to higher living standards, economic security and access to affordable energy above a stable climate.
After a few minutes of reading this worthless article, I went to the end to see who the author was. One of them, Kalee Kreider, is a consultant and former climate advisor to Al Gore. That says it all.
One line that I found to be especially humorous and false is this:
Compared with many other areas, population, life expectancy, and economic growth over decades, climate change is easy to forecast.

I caught that one in another article too. From there we get to "So we'll MAKE it change" in the blink of an eye. They always tell you who they are if you listen closely enough.
Thank you.
"These people must continually transform through an ever-changing multitude of celebrated, unrealistic social media posts. Their self-created positions, stoutly rooted in impressions, gain rather than lose stability when subjected to contrary factual arguments. When challenged they search for deeper ground to erect new fortresses without acknowledging disruption of any previous positions. They are unconcerned with emerging arguments, because responses will be hedged within the boundaries of the willful exertions of minds never redirected by time or outcome. For them, no comparison needs be made to the legitimate spiritual beliefs or moral philosophies that sustained our founding or to perceptions of hideous outcomes suffered by the subjugated."

Neither will the laws of economic or the laws of physics.
