If you are serious about confronting the dark side of environmentalism, and it is a truly, truly dark side, please stop bowing at the CO2 altar.



The world needs energy, period. It is impossible to bring the majority of humanity out of the poverty that it is still afflicted by without vastly expanding the energy base. Western civilization is energy. Nuclear energy will need to be a part of this expansion, particularly in northern latitudes.



An alarm has been growing lately, belatedly but better late than never, about rapid resurgence of right wing fascism, based on well tried racist and nativist strategies.



I hate to say this, but the strategy of controlling people through incitement of fear has been pioneered in recent decades by those whom we typically associate with the left wing, namely extremist environmentalism. I do not know which is worse, frankly. Extremist environmentalism denigrates and weakens the real one and worse, it debases science. Rational thinking, as embodied by science, is all that stands between us and a period of horrid wars that will dwarf already mind numbing horrors of recent history. In fact, such wars could very well end the history of western civilization itself.



There is no climate crisis. A slight warming tendency, even if it was real, would be a benefit. Increased concentration of carbon dioxide is beneficial to plant growth. If the true climate crisis does come, it will be caused by cooling, not by warming.



Rejoin the world of reason. On nuclear energy and on CO2.
