Panic, Power, And Profit Were Made For Each Other

Headlines that prove a point are not so common, but here’s one that proves two points and proclaims a third: “COP26 summit: Focus on how to hit 1.5° C target – and billions in funding.”

The word panic means a “sudden overwhelming feeling of terror or anxiety, especially one affecting a whole group of people.” The word “panic” comes from the Greek god Pan, the source of irrational fear.

The panic in that headline comes from the implied promise that we must either hit the 1.5° C temperature target or say goodbye to humanity. Many take it seriously enough to stop having children who would be short-lived in a world doomed by blistering firestorms, floods requiring a Noah’s Ark, and winds that rock skyscrapers to their foundations.

At the Glasgow summit, kingpins and princes chanted the mantra that ‘climate change is killing the planet.’ The panacea (named after the Greek goddess of healing) is to get rid of fossil fuels—and with them, 80% of the Western world’s energy, which turns the big CO2 makers who copped out of COP26—China and Russia – into power duopolists.

Juvenile enough? We’ve barely warmed up.

The following story was not taken from “Alice Through The Looking Glass”:

How to toilet train your cow

And save the planet at the same time.

Puppies can be taught. So can human children. Now, in the hope of fighting climate change, Dr Jan Langbein, of the Fredrich-Loweffler-Institut in Germany hopes he can train cows to use the toilet, too.

The human psyche seems to have a propensity for swallowing tall stories. Renewable energy, the story goes, is the one and only hope to carry humanity forward.

In that case, thank God for emission-free, renewable nuclear power, say the sensible people.
