Climate Industrial Complex Left Clueless as Fossil Fuels Proliferate

It has been a little more than a month since the United Nations climate meeting at Glasgow, yet global use of fossil fuels has increased rapidly.

For instance, U.S. President Joe Biden cancelled domestic oil projects and vowed to stop funding for international fossil fuel projects. But as fuel prices rose, Biden responded to his self-induced energy insecurity by releasing 50 million barrels of oil reserves and even called for an increase in domestic oil production.

Within a span of a few months, the U.S. president went from being a climate savior to a climate villain. Though many may classify his actions as temporary solutions (to a non-existent problem), the rest of the world sees through the veneer of climate politics and the hypocrisy within.

There is nothing that the climate industrial complex can do about the situation in the U.S. or other parts of the world. In fact, in Asia, production of fossil fuels is proliferating.

As climate doomsayers met in November in Glasgow for the annual U.N. meeting, Asian political leaders promoted policies that sought to increase fossil fuel production — largely because of lessons learned from acute coal shortages in India and China earlier in the year.

The Indian government has opened more coal mines and has allocated new mines to private players through auctions. India’s coal minister has asked the government’s coal production arm, Coal India Limited, to meet an annual target of 1 billion tonnes by 2024.

Thirty million acres in the gulf of Mexico for wind mills. To power 10 million homes. Until a cat 5 wanders through. Can you say lying useless MOFOs? I knew you could. Someone needs to be getting a lump of coal for Christmas next year.

Blame the Earth’s Core it’s making the Not Fossil Fuel

LOL! Tell us again how many dinosaurs there were......... crickets

And none of these people seem to realize that none of their green crap can exist without oil. You cannot build an electric car, windmill, solar panel, pretty much anything, without oil; lots of oil.

Nothing. Unless you like the smell of dung fires wafting past your mud hut. While you kick back in your loin cloth. Yes, they are fidiots.

Well, you see when when windmills cure global warming there won't be anymore hurricanes...or snowstorms. It will be just bright, sunny days with a gentle breeze forever.

There is no such a thing as a fossil fuel.

I think one day we’ll realize that oil is part of the earth and renewing, not a fossil fuel.

It's like Carlin said about Plastic.

The earth doesn’t share our prejudice toward plastic. Plastic came out of the earth. The earth probably sees plastic as just another one of its children. Could be the only reason the earth allowed us to be spawned from it in the first place. It wanted plastic for itself. Didn’t know how to make it. Needed us. Could be the answer to our age-old egocentric philosophical question, “Why are we here?”

Plastic… _______.”

Well duh. In the months since the November climate summit in Glasgow it’s been WINTER in the Northern Hemisphere, the most industrialized and most densely populated half of the world. Of course fossil fuel consumption went up. It always does in the winter.
