This morning’s ICSF lecture and the Ballot Backlash: Voters Crush Natural Gas Bans As Climate Takes A Backseat

Bud: The covid injection scam that killed the climate change scam.  I’d put a WEF sticker on that red dress.

In 2017, the newly elected Trump administration withdrew U.S. funding from the UN’s Paris Climate Accord.  The European Commission committed itself to replacing that U.S. funding.  The EU economy is crashing badly.  The Biden administration appointed John Kerry as its “climate envoy” and restored the U.S. funding for the Paris accord.  The U.S. economy is crashing.  Likely the new Trump administration will again exit the Paris accord and possibly exit the entire UN IPCC and perhaps even the EPA’s most draconian regulatory overstep, i.e., the EPA Endangerment Finding on Greenhouse Gases.  The ideological nutcases of climate alarmism want $9 trillion per year until 2050 supposedly to achieve net zero carbon, according to a study by consultants McKinsey & Co.  If we extend that amount out to the 2050 date for 50% achievement of the net zero plan implies spending over $275 trillion.  The executive summary and full McKinsey presentation is available at this link: : https://www.mckinsey.com/business-functions/sustainability/our-insights/the-net-zero-transition-what-it-would-cost-what-it-could-bring

Neither the U.S. public nor the European public wants the ideologically driven, non-scientific climate-change agenda with its consequent energy insecurity and reductions in quality of life.  Even hardcore left-wing places as Berkeley, California which voted heavily for Kamila Harris voted heavily against a referendum issue that would have prohibited natural gas. (See article down below.)

After the U.S. election, even Germany is turning to the right.  https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/germany/germany-govt-first-shake-up-with-trump-victory/

In a lecture today to the Irish Climate Science Forum (ICSF), Dr. Samuel Furfari on the key topic of “European Energy Policy – An End to Competitiveness? stated (approximately), ‘Europe cannot survive without fossil fuels and chemicals.  A wind turbine cannot be built by solar panels.  Solar panels cannot be built by a wind turbine.  Hydrogen is the gas of the future, and it always will be.’ 

“His message was very clear: European energy policy needs to urgently refocus from green ideology to energy/economic realities. Otherwise Europe is unfortunately heading for economic decline, reduced quality of life, even possibly power blackouts. Recent political events in Germany illustrate the point and may now stimulate serious debate in the EU and its Member States.” Hat tip to Jim O’Brien, Chair ICSF, www.ICSF.ie

Dr. Furfari is a renowned expert in energy geopolitics and biodiversity. He is a Professor at the Université Libre de Bruxelles, where he teaches “Geopolitics of Energy”. With a PhD in Energy Studies from the same university (1982), Dr. Furfari has spent over three decades working in the European Commission, specializing in sustainable energy development and participating in the negotiation of the Kyoto Protocol.
