I remember Doc Manheimer from the movie "The Naked Gun". He's brilliant!

In a recently published science paper, Dr. Wallace Manheimer said it would be the end of modern civilisation. Writing about wind and solar power he argued it would be especially tragic “when not only will this new infrastructure fail, but will cost trillions, trash large portions of the environment, and be entirely unnecessary”. The stakes, he added, “are enormous”.
Dr. Manheimer holds a physics PhD from MIT and has had a 50-year career in nuclear research, including work at the Plasma Physics Division at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory. He has published over 150 science papers. In his view, there is “certainly no scientific basis” for expecting a climate crisis from too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in the next century or so. He argues that there is no reason why civilisation cannot advance using both fossil fuel power and nuclear power, gradually shifting to more nuclear power.
There is of course a growing body of opinion that points out that the Emperor has no clothes when it comes to all the fashionable green technologies. Electric cars, wind and solar power, hydrogen, battery storage, heat pumps – all have massive disadvantages, and are incapable of replacing existing systems without devastating consequences.
Manheimer points out that before fossil fuel became widely used, energy was provided by people and animals. Because so little energy was produced, “civilisation was a thin veneer atop a vast mountain of human squalor and misery, a veneer maintained by such institutions as slavery, colonialism and tyranny”.
This argument hints at why so many rich, virtue-signalling celebrities argue not just for Net Zero but ‘Real’ Zero, with the banning of all fossil fuel use. King Charles said in 2009 that the age of consumerism and convenience was over, although the multi-mansion owning monarch presumably doesn’t think such desperate restrictions apply to himself. Manheimer notes that fossil fuel has extended the benefits of civilisation to billions, but its job is not yet complete. “To spread the benefits of modern civilisation to the entire human family would require much more energy, as well as newer sources,” he adds.
The author notes that the emphasis on a false climate crisis is becoming a “tragedy for modern civilisation”, which depends on reliable, affordable and environmentally viable energy. “The windmills, solar panels and backup batteries have none of these qualities,” he states. This falsehood has been pushed by what has been termed a climate industrial complex, comprising some scientists, most media, industrialists and legislators. Furthermore, he continues, this grouping has “somehow” managed to convince many that CO2 in the atmosphere, a gas necessary for life on Earth, one which we exhale with every breath, is an environmental poison.
In Manheimer’s view, the partnership among self-interested businesses, grandstanding politicians and alarmist campaigners, “truly is an unholy alliance”. The climate industrial complex does not promote discussion on how to overcome this challenge in a way that will be best for everyone. “We should not be surprised or impressed that those who stand to make a profit are among the loudest calling for politicians to act,” he added.
That’s The Plan....................
Progressives are delusional.
A bright five year old could have figured this out.
The end of “fossil” fuels is the end of food.
and the environmentally-ill celebrate
Total waste of resources for political reasons. When will the west realize the war will soon be over. All this equipment and resources will end up in Russian hands just like it ended up in the Taliban hands. The politicians in the west are complete fools. Of course much of the $$$ has already arrived in the democrat party accounts or some other clandestine account to be cleansed.
We simply cannot coexist with these people. They simply will not leave bus alone.
Never listen to the Upper-class Twit of the Year - Year over Year

Will Dr. Manheimer be raided by the FBI and IRS? Or will he get off easy, and just have his PhD revoked? Because as we all know, thought crimes are not tolerated in Biden’s America.
(Progressives are delusional.)
And it’s just getting started...
2 Thessalonians 2:7-12
King James Version
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Just say no to net zero, problem solved.

Population Reduction via Starvation.
Part of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
No coincidence that these things are championed by Godless reprobates.
The politicians in the West are indeed complete fools. Not because they believe in global warming— they secretly all know it’s BS. They are fools because they think when all is said and done, and The Great Reset is complete, they will somehow come out on top. They are in for a very rude disappointment.
it wont end civilization but it will cull the ‘useless eaters’ as the left like to say, so that the elites can enjoy all the things they previously banned without competing with regular citizens-
But Dr. Wallace Manheimer isn’t Science. Perhaps he needs to appear in Play Girl magazine and throw first pitches at baseball games to be taken seriously.
