Concern about the climate, ..., the crazy set of unrealistic objectives, laughable foreign aid boondoggles, Malthusian panic mongering and cockamamie treaty plans made this UN process a clown circus that was doomed to fail — and the sooner, the better. There was a time — as recently as early 2010 — when the Great and the Good, the Champions of the Conventional Wisdom and the Oracles of the Davoisie identified this forlorn negotiation as the wave of the future and the last best hope of man.



Let the futility and failure to which all this led be a reminder to us and to them: those who guide the world’s destiny aren’t nearly as discerning as they think they are. Between the American housing bubble, the European meltdown and the climate disaster, it almost begins to look as if the Establishment consists mostly of overpaid, egotistical blowhards. _WR Mead

The great green global agenda -- from carbon hysteria to resource scarcity to overpopulation doom to pollution apocalypse -- has been promoted by blowhards such as James Hansen and Paul Ehrlich, and supported by politicians from Barack Obama to Al Gore to Angela Merkel to Kevin Rudd. But prophets of the green apocalypse have been forecasting doom and devastation to occur "in the next ten or fifteen years" for the past 50 years or more. People are beginning to notice that the dire green predictions have not been coming true. And frankly, more and more people are getting a bit nervous about the undercurrent talk about " the great human dieoff " that seems to take the stage whenever green elites think that no outsiders are within earshot.Overpaid egotistical blowhards? That could accurately describe the top levels of academia, journalism, government, law, and environmental activism in one short phrase. Too bad there is no way to send such top-floating scum on its merry way to oblivion. Indeed.Consider energy, and the enormous amounts of reliable and affordable energy that any advanced society needs to provide its people with their many needs and opportunities: The earth contains vast and unknown quantities of fossil fuels, including coal. But greens of the lefty-Luddite dieoff.orgy persuasion want all advanced nations to abandon coal, and to move willy-nilly to a dependency on big wind and big solar energy.Most intelligent and sober analysts understand that such a precipitous move away from coal toward dependency on intermittent unreliable green energy sources such as big wind and big solar, would trigger the very type of dieoff which global green elites (not-so) secretly cherish and wish for.In fact, while US greens inside and outside of the Obama administration are trying to shut down the use of coal in the US, nations from China to Germany to Vietnam and more are gearing up to use more and more coal . Many of these nations would be happy to buy and use US coal, at the same time that US greens would like to keep Americans shivering in the dark for lack of reliable and affordable energy.Modern leftist greens are Malthusians by nature, and doomers by inclination -- victims of their own limited thinking . They not only believe that humans are a vermin pest on the pristine landscape of Earth. They actually want to behave as responsible and sustainable pest exterminators, so as to save the planet, while also giving themselves more lebensraum.The green apocalyptic theories of climate catastrophe and carbon hysteria are based upon computer models that have been fed much erroneous data, while having omitted crucial data that would have helped avoid much of the destructive and disruptive hysteria This failure to look at as many aspects of the problem as possible, along with the failure to brutally test their own models and theories (as scientists should always do), has painted the green doomers into a corner. They have no choice but to screech ever louder songs of doom, regardless of what the outer world reality indicates.The destructiveness of this approach is just now being calculated in the cost of energy to European commerce, government, and industry, and the subsequent demand destruction that is beginning to sweep through those countries, working its way from south to north. The consequent capital flight within Europe has so far landed in continental safe havens, the stronger European economies such as Germany and Switzerland.But as the consequences of their green energy starvationist approaches hit even the relatively strong industrial economies of Germany, France, and the UK, even these economic strongholds of Europe will suffer from both capital flight and a renewed brain drain to countries with fewer restrictions on energy production and use. All of this will happen on top of an underlying demographic collapse, which is quite real for all its stealth and popular denial.For the great green global agenda to succeed, most of you are going to have to die. Because, to put it bluntly, the intermittent unreliable sources of energy that the greens are foisting on modern nations will not be able to support the needs of those nations. Systems will collapse like tilting dominoes, and the offal will flow downhill -- doing the most damage to third world nations and their populations as more advanced nations can no longer afford to provide life support to a perpetually failing and conflicted third world.Will this great green doom and dieoff.orgy actually come to pass? Only if we allow it.Take your time. Think about it. Here's a riddle to help with your meditations:(answer: When you chop up the onion, you cry.)Heh. Just kidding, of course. If we let it get to the chopping up stage, we are all in big trouble.
