“The fatal conceit of ‘experts’ and ‘planners’ is promoting coercive social policy based on incomplete or wrong knowledge that the perpetrator thinks is God-like given and true. Ingmar Rentzhog is a danger, not prophet, in this regard.”
The Swedish website We Don’t Have Time declares itself to be “The World’s Largest Media Platform for Climate Action.” It is added: “We are democratizing knowledge about climate solutions to inspire and mobilize global action toward a prosperous, fossil-free future.”
A “prosperous, fossil-free future”? What is this group about? Start with the CEO and founder, Ingmar Rentzhog, who recently posted a sad plea, “The Biggest Lie Ever Told Is Only Four Words Long (August 20, 2026).
“After ten years, he began, “I mostly feel exhausted.”
…I have spent ten years inside the climate crisis, more or less around the clock.
It is factually correct and mainstream that both oil-and-gas production and energy demand are increasing. But here comes climate alarmist Bill McKibben, climate writer at the New York Times, promoting a false narrative of fossil fuels declining in supply and in demand.
It is a strange development. McKibben previously ranted about the lack of climate action in the face of a crisis. He seemed ready to throw in the towel if the political world would not get better. But what is a spent climate alarmist to do? Create a message of hope.
McKibben’s is an old page from the energy-subtraction Progressive Left. Remember what Amory Lovins stated nearly a half-century ago?
“The long-term prospects of selling more electricity are dismal.” [1]
…“Prominent exploration experts have recently predicted that total world production of liquid oil will peak by about the end of this decade-or a few years later if production does not rise much-and will decline thereafter.”
“Upstream fossil fuel extraction productivity … gains are sufficient to outweigh much larger improvements in renewables generation. [R]enewables productivity gains must exceed fossil gains by approximately 4–5× for net emissions to break even: each 1% marginal productivity gain in fossil fuels requires 4–5% gains in renewables.” (Nature Portfolio, below)
When the climate alarmists/forced energy transformationists bow to reality, it is worth noting. The latest example is a setback to the governmental push for wind, solar, and batteries in place of consumer-driven oil, gas, and coal. Instead of “energy transition” and “Net Zero,” the reality is, to use a term of Alex Epstein, fossil future.
“AI-driven Productivity Gains Enable More CO₂ Emissions than They Avoid in a Global Energy–Economy Model,” (Nature Portfolio: August 4, 2026) goes from climate alarmism to energy reality.…
