Western politicians are destroying their own countries over the fraudulent science of Anthropogenic Greenhouse gas warming. This ridiculous theory has been used to destroy economies for quite some time but recently the attacks have stepped up to a fever pitch. Apparently the one lesson Government learned from COVID is that the public will not stop them. They do not need to move slowly or give any plausible explanations. The public will accept anything, no matter how ridiculous, if the media tells them we have an emergency.
Since COVID no longer has the necessary impact government has pivoted back to, and ramped up, climate change rhetoric. Just in the last few months government has saved the planet by;
- Banning fertilizer
- Confiscating farms
- Banning gas stoves and wood ovens
- Regulating cars out of existence
You might notice that nothing on that list is actually good for people and that is the point. Climate change policies are inherently anti-human. This is something that you would think would be plainly apparent to all humans but it is not. Wealthy white liberals and journalists have clueless sided with government in this war against humanity.
Malcom X once correctly pointed out that the biggest threat to the black community is white liberals. It is also true that the white liberal is the biggest threat to the white community; communities of any color for that matter. Every destructively stupid problem we face right now is fueled by wealthy white liberals. Go to any climate protest and you will find yourself in an ocean of wealthy white liberals. Spoiled brats insulated from the real world by inherited or unearned wealth.
It is ‘counterproductive’, says Mr Neilson, to have pink-haired sons and daughters of privilege inconveniencing workers during a ‘brutal’ economic downturn. Again, he’s not wrong. The class-war streak in eco-activism is undeniable. Many Extinction Rebellion types are descendants of money. Writer Harry Mount calls them ‘Econians’, a green twist on ‘Etonians’. They’re the ‘public-school boys and girls who rule the wokerati world’. A survey of 6,000 XR activists who brought London to a halt in April 2019 found they were ‘overwhelmingly middle-class [and] highly educated’. Anyone who walked through London that month will have heard ‘Cut carbon emissions!’ being cried in cut-class tones and understood right away that our great city was under siege by vengeful aristocrats still smarting from the Industrial Revolution.
This vocal, Ill educated, army of useful idiots is spurred on by a media that never misses a chance to pump up the nonexistent threat of climate change and the fossil fuel industry. I came across another fraudulent article this morning with a familiar false claim that the oil industry receives massive government subsidies. The article is to reinforce the idea that we would not use fossil fuels if government was not conspiring with the petroleum industry. All we must do is drop fossil fuel subsidies and the world will instantly transition to “green” energy.
Canada has for years forked over billions of dollars in subsidies to oil and gas companies — an approach that critics say flies in the face of the country’s climate goals, and impinges on efforts to turn toward renewable energy sources.
This statement is the best kind of lie; a partial truth. It is true that government in Canada has given money to the oil industry and the CBC has published a list of recent promises.
$12 billion in loans and financial support for the TransMountain pipeline.
$500 million in loans to the Coastal GasLink Pipeline.
$300 million to help with decarbonization projects.
$78 million to help the oil and gas sector grow and reduce its greenhouse gas emissions.
$20 million to help oil and gas companies reduce their methane emissions.
The thing about this list is that not a single one of these expenditures is an actual subsidy.
Trans Mountain pipeline
The government bought the Trans mountain pipeline after cancelling the permits for a public company that was going to build the line. If the government had stayed out of this the line would have been built anyway for a fraction of the 12 billion dollar price tag (the original budget was 5 billion). Even though the government has bought the line and ballooned the budget this is in no way an industry subsidy. Companies still must pay a tariff to use the line just as they would to a private company. Essentially the government bought a business that derives its income from the oil industry.
Costal gas link
How is a loan a subsidy? The loan is to be repaid with interest. The only reason government is involved is that they have made pipelines toxic for investment. But the government wants this particular pipeline for political purposes so they were forced to finance it. Again this is government assuming the role of private industry after making it impossible for private industry to function properly.
The rest of the list
The government introduced expensive and utterly useless new regulations. The regulations only purpose is to give the appearance that Canada is serious about climate change. To prevent industry from discussing what a huge waste of money this is, government offered to pay for some of it. None of this had to happen. If the government had not instituted these useless regulations not a penny would have changed hands. This is not an industry subsidy it is just another example of government waste.
A friend of mine likes to point out that the myth of subsidized oil is very easy to dispel with simple logic. Energy is the primary input for every product or service and 85% of the world’s energy comes from hydrocarbons. If the energy industry is kept afloat through subsidies it means that 85% the economy is based on government subsidizes. That math does not work; the money will run out. You cannot subsidize 85% of an economy without the economy quickly collapsing.
Simple logic usually steers you to the correct answer. Unfortunately simple logic, otherwise known as common sense, is highly uncommon among white liberals and media.
