Scientists on the Pope’s misguided climate-change bicycle

[petros]

The entire AGW myth is solely about money and moreso, transactions... How many transactions can the UN, Gore, Sukuki, et al get in the middle of such that they can carve-off a small chunk to enable their self-imposed dynasties?

IF those proponents of AGW are sincere about their belief, then this IS about the number of carbon/ghg emitters (read: population) that are in the equation.... Full stop... Only an @sshole would think otherwise.

Energy supplies, availability of foodstuffs, etc are only a symptom of what is a larger issue, and not that I agree with AGW (obviously, I don't), it is laughable that these schysters don't have the balls to recognize what is the end-game of their own feeble argument.

If we truly were in a crisis situation would we be seeing this: Imported Chinese solar panels to be subject to stiff duties in Canada - The Globe and Mail on top of a 600% mark up on wholesale?

Solar panels and whirlygigs will never bring financial improvements to rural villages in Botswana for example. Sure they will have light bulbs and small quantities of RO water but then there is zero incentive for Govts to tie them into the grid with enough energy for light industry.

It's huge "go f-ck yourself" to the poor and will keep them oppressed and impoverished.

The Pope joins the EU in a sad world of make-believe

There are two great acts of political make-believe in our time, so all-pervasive that it is hard for us to grasp just how much effect they are having on our lives

What has a Papal Encyclical calling on the world to end its use of fossil fuels and to pray to God for the success of the global “climate summit” in December got in common with the Greek euro crisis, the ominous rift between the West and Russia, and the shambles Europe is making over the desperation of African and Syrian refugees to find safety this side of the Mediterranean? They are all different aspects of the two greatest acts of political make-believe of our time, so all-pervasive that it is hard for us to grasp just how much effect they are having on all our lives.

When future historians come to look back on our age, few things will puzzle them more than the extent to which our politics became so dominated and bedevilled by two belief-systems, each based on an obsessive attempt to force into being an immensely complicated political construct which defied economic, psychological and scientific reality.
