I remember decades ago hearing how cold they had it in England. It amazed me that they would put up with that crap...but they did and still do. They were also dealing with gas rationing when there wasn’t even a shortage or even a price spike. They were just living out the last years (and still are) of an empire rotting away from the center.
The way this is playing out right now, all Western governments will either be overthrown or annihilated. Imagine, thousands dying every winter, and they are, as the planet heads into the colder times of the current Ice Age, while the AGW supporting governments try to eliminate as much energy production as possible. That is suicide. The people will eventually rise up and topple these governments or starve to death. And if we do not change course soon, the East will annihilate the current Western governments. Because in a cooling world, Russia and China will be the worse affected. Just use this winter as an example. And the Russians and Chinese know about all the black box projects the US has been running to insanely, suicidally try to cool the planet.
