Not much, really. Just a whole lot of waste and false hopes with massive government intervention to create a wind/solar/battery bubble. The subtitle of the CLIMATEWire piece said much: “The blockbuster climate deal made history a decade ago. But its record at taming climate change is spotty.“
Some quotations (realism be served) follow:
…But if the agreement identified the dangers, it has not resulted in lasting action to solve them — at least, not yet.
Yet the COP30 climate talks last month showed that a fractured and divided world is unable to find consensus on phasing out fossil fuels — the main source of rising temperatures — a decade after nations signed an agreement to do just that.
… carbon pollution from fossil fuels reached a record 38.1 billion tonnes this year….
“Climate activists are in denial. A great reset is underway…. But are they willing to emotionally reject their prior thinking for cause?”
It’s a funny, scary time in the climate alarmist camp. Once-favorable economic and political trends are going the other way in the U.S. and increasingly in the world. What to do? Literally thousands of climate-issue employees (grifters?) need to find alternative employment, almost all in net-positive (CO2) industries where value is being created rather than redistributed and lost. Big Money Green will keep priming the pump for many, however, so a base of false-green advocacy will remain.
Scaleback
In 2024 (Google summary):
“Anyone with real climate anxiety who can make a living outside of the Climate Industrial Complex should take up the Alex Epstein challenge….”
On social media, Greg Small, executive director of Climate Solutions, asked his followers:
…Ok folks, looking for some ideas. We are starting to plan out the Climate Solutions dinner for next May. This is our big annual event that typically has about 700 or so people attend.
We are thinking about who a great keynote speaker might be. In the past we have had folks like Gina McCarthy, Van Jones, Bill McKibben, Bill Gates, Mindy Lubber, and Jigar Shah.
Who have you seen recently that lights things up and brings energy and excitement to a keynote speech.
Who do you want to hear from? Huge thanks for any ideas that you have.
