As I said in my earlier post (“The Biden Administration Is about to Add a $6/Gallon Tax When You Fill Up Your Car“), the Biden EPA mavens want to arbitrarily jerk your energy (For each and every energy source you utilize) from a tax of $1/ton to upwards of $190/ton. It IS (after all) their mission to save the planet.
One of the great ironies of climate change activism today is that many of the movement’s most vocal proponents are also horrified by global income inequality. They are blind, however, to the fact that the costs of the policies they demand will be borne disproportionately by the world’s poorest. This is because so much of climate change policy boils down to limiting access to cheap energy. -Bjorn Lomborg
The problem is, who is going to save the poor from these self-indulgent pooh-bahs that are convinced that they are the world’s best gift to the rest of us? Certainly, not those about to be sentenced to a subsistence standard of living while the rest of us are reduced to peasant status. And not, those that will be beaming with pride that they made themselves proud by making others miserable.
Actually, just made that up – they’re not proud at all. How can they be as they don’t care? Not a whit. Their greater purpose outweighs any collateral damage they may be causing.
And in 2024, never forget that the collateral damage is you. That is if you last that long. Heat or eat? They don’t care if it’s both. Not even a dollop of empathy.
Can we just air-drop them into an active volcano so we can incinerate their carbon in a flash? And that would mean we’d be left alone?
