I don't wonder anymore.

I see it everywhere

Would be more like killing the golden goose because you’ve decided golden eggs are evil.

And raise food prices while putting some farmers and other workers out on the street. Isn’t going green just peachy?

All for the massive hoax and the Left’s secular religion called “climate change.” But it’s all a front for the Communists to destroy Western civilization and institute a totalitarian world government.

Have no fear, the political class and the wealthy will still have electricity, transport, and all the meat they can eat.

Do a search on “The Line”. It’s a proposed city being built in Saudi Arabia. This is how they want to corral the human species into these controlled cities. They may be allowed to “visit” the surrounding lands but at least 60% of the earth’s surface will be wilderness, with no human interaction.

AKA Agenda 21/Agenda 30.

Why build solar arrays, what else?

Never forget that the whole "CO2 global warming" scam was invented by the neo-malthusian Club of Rome as a tool to force a drastic die-off of human populations. This is only the beginning. Ultimately, YOU are the carbon they want to reduce.

Meanwhile, trust the climate oligarchs to find private profit in public policy.

Remember when Al Gore said the choice between having an economy or going green was a false choice? Lol.
