--- "China is building coal power plants by the hundreds. They are just making these organ grinder monkeys dance for their pennies."

I'm old enough to have seen an organ grinder and his monkey. The monkey passed the cup around, but the organ grinder emptied the cup into his own pocket. The metaphor seems wholly apt.

China and its "growth" in coal energy is making the Western environmentalists look like economic fools. "Green energy policies" is a phrase taken out of Nudge Theory 101. "To influence change" but in which direction?

The Global Climate Change narrative has turned into a farce. It’s the song of the dance of marionettes whose strings are controlled by the Oligarchs who pay for the Punch and Judy shows. The only people who believe in it now are the people who get paid to believe it or people who desperately want us to believe it. They have been wrong too long to be taken seriously. It’s just become the latest weak excuse for the New World Order.
