Bravo radical environmentalists! That’s a backhanded shoutout to all who scale buildings, glue themselves to sidewalks, or jet to elite climate change conferences..These efforts to ‘save’ the planet are getting results. This righteous contempt for fossil fuels, while hysterically fretting about climate change, led to people facing freezing in the dark and starving..Oh well..Let them burn dung to keep warm!.Let them eat flies!.Ecology and nutrition experts are figuring out how to turn flies swarming Africa’s massive Lake Victoria into “crackers, meat loaves, muffins, and sausages.” They cite climate change as a need to find ways to feed the earth’s eight billion inhabitants..Paul Driessen, American author and climate change, environmental, and human rights expert, shredded this claim in a recent article 'COP-27 financiers and merchants of death.'.“The greatest hypocrisy of all was on full-throated display at the COP-27 (Conference of the Parties) climate circus in Egypt between November 6-18 — where attendees kept asking whether Africa should be allowed to exploit its oil, natural gas and coal reserves to improve living standards, feed families and save lives,” wrote the senior policy advisor with the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow..“Al Gore preached fossil fuel investments should be terminated worldwide, including in Africa. UN Secretary General António Guterres absurdly asserted that ‘new funding for fossil fuel exploration and production is delusional’ and will only ‘feed the scourge of war, pollution and climate catastrophe.’”.It’s solar and wind power or nothing. Poor folk won’t get money to develop resources..Kerry said African nations shouldn’t rely on natural gas to generate electricity 600 million people there don’t have..These “arrogant eco-totalitarians” oppose Africa tapping into huge oil, gas, and coal resources, wrote Driessen..They oppose Africa producing natural gas to make nitrogen fertilizer, which boosts crop yields. But impoverished Africans are the “perfect laboratory” for fly food experiments..Driessen noted areas in India, Asia and Latin America face “serious” energy and food shortages. So does Europe as Germany’s “wind industry is sliding into crisis.”.He blames “Europe’s love affair with intermittent wind and solar, and hate-fest for fossil fuels and nuclear” for the suffering ahead..Areas in the US face a “cold, dark winter” because of the outcry against drilling, fracking, pipelines, coal, and nuclear power..Driessen said countries should tell the UN and eco-pressure groups to “buzz off” and “charter their own destinies.”.Premier Danielle Smith is chartering Alberta’s destiny in her fight for the province’s energy industry..Smith is heeding concerns of reasonable environmentalists while trying to save people from heating homes with dung..During a recent interview on the Jordan B. Peterson podcast, Smith said she has no idea why airtime is given to the extremist Extinction Rebellion radical environmentalists “gluing themselves to sidewalks, the top of the subway cars, and the headquarters of buildings.”.Moderate environmentalists, like Michael Shellenberger, realize “we’re not going to address issues of emissions and environmental harms by focusing on wind and solar and battery power,” said Smith..“Guess what, you cannot produce a wind turbine with the wind turbine because there's a lot of steel that comes from coal and there's a lot of fiberglass that also comes from fossil fuels. And you have to transport 1,500 truck loads to get it to a site using fossil fuels.”.Facts don’t matter to the net zero carbon emissions crowd..Peterson opined as to why..“People are looking for easy moral virtue. It's easy to be virtuous by having a messy life and saving the planet. Then it's simplest to save the planet by concentrating on one thing. And then it's simplest to concentrate on carbon dioxide, as if that's the only environmental challenge that confronts us.”.“So, you have this overweening, prideful, and ignorant requirement to put yourself forward as some kind of planetary savior.”.The focus on Greta Thunberg is “emblematic” of not intelligently confronting challenges like adults..“She's a relatively eccentric 13-year-old girl. She doesn't know anything about how the world works. Yet green leaders around the world kowtow to her like she's some sort of Dionysian prophetess.”.Conservatives and central Liberals “erred tremendously” by giving radicals the moral upper hand, said Peterson..“Look at what's going to happen in Europe and around the world, likely this winter as we put tremendous stress on poor people by jacking up energy and food prices. That’s all that's going to be disastrous for the planet in the terms that the environmentalists themselves hypothetically hold dear.”.The idea the planet can be made more habitable environmentally by raising energy and food prices and impoverishing the poor is “tantamount to genocidal in its intent.”.It creates “grave danger,” particularly for people on fixed incomes enduring northern winter climates, said Smith..A government shouldn’t be “forcing” a senior citizen to debate reducing food bills or pharmaceuticals “so they can keep their electricity and heating on.”.Extreme green left policies “are now sacrificing those at the lower end of the income scale.”.“They put their heart on the sleeve and they say that that's who they care about, but it is just demonstrably untrue when you see the impact of it.”. Dried dungThey really do burn dung for fuel. Here, animal and human dung for use as kitchen fuel, dries on the roof of a dwelling in the Afghan village of Sangow Bar. (Ghor province.) Writer Linda Slobodian reasons that it's all very well for us to worry about global warming, but as this and the respiratory problems that go with it are typical of many poor parts of the world, we should have more concern for people who would like to burn more fossil fuels. .The only people she’s heard express concern about the “plight” of those without reliable energy are energy executives..It is imperative to get reliable natural gas to the world, especially where some of poorest countries “are using wood and dung and coal to heat their homes,” said Smith..There are 44 million deaths per year because of indoor air quality problems..“Why is that not elevated as an issue that we know we can solve by having these secure types of energy? The LNG (liquid natural gas) is going to be a solution.”.Peterson said it’s “incomprehensible” these deaths are ignored by radicals..But why?.“The only answer that I can think of is that it's something fundamentally predicated on envy, and the desire to bring down the capitalist system that produces those who are richer than the typical environmentalist, let's say. That takes precedence over everything. It takes precedence over care for the poor. It takes precedence even over hypothetical care for the planet. It’s like terror — take the bloody capitalist system down and it doesn't matter what or who gets destroyed in the process.”.Peterson said it’s time to tell green radicals we’ve had enough of their “cheap moralizing.”.Elevating more moderate environmental voices “is going to be my big challenge,” said Smith, who faces an “absolutely hostile” federal government..Challenging eco-totalitarians is formidable..Said Driessen: “Unfortunately, they never repent, never revise their lethal attitudes and policies. The global following they enjoy underscores how the ill-informed, but well-intended really are led around by the well-informed but ill-intended — on climate, energy, agriculture and human rights.”
