A fool's errand: Al Gore's $15 trillion carbon tax

Al Gore wants to reverse modernity and save the world from itself through an elimination of its fossil-fuel-based energy system. During the final week of April, his newly created Energy Transitions Commission released a document setting forth a fool's-errand pathway to "decarbonize" the world's energy system.

If this sounds familiar, it is. Gore's plan features a new, sophisticated, and expensive public-relations campaign, but it's all based on his views on carbon dioxide first broached in his 1992 book Earth in the Balance, which he reissued in 2000 for his failed presidential campaign. The subsequent efforts made by Gore during the past 25 years have transformed little from their genesis, and he remains as tragically wrong today as he was when he first surfaced as an opponent of everything linked to carbon-dioxide.

Hmmmm. With so much money at stake for a lot of pro climate change assclowns, you just know there's gonna be a fight. Lucky for us, we've heard that Ivanka is going to be part of the gay paris climate agreement review panel. Or not. Maybe we could substitute billnye the bow tie guy in her place. Still crazy after all these years.

We should help them out, All the Oil COmpanies Worldwide should immediately institute a No Electronic Transaction policy for every person involved in an Environmental Group.

Watch AlGore shell out $40,00 in CASH evertime he needs Jet Fuel.

Meat and plant foods generate too much carbon.

Humans can survive on a diet of bugs, which are free or cheap.

Since the first Earth Day, the natural environment has improved substantially, through urbanization

More is not always better. An economies of scale graph is not a straight line but a curve with an optimum. Going past the optimum increases costs and stress on Earth's resources. Cliff dwelling in high tech steel and concrete boxes is not only much more expensive, but is a crime against nature on the scale of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Clingers need something to hold onto when their world is upended. Witness the state of the current, hysterical democrat party, still grasping for something, anything, to cling to.
