More Climate Violence in 2023 (Just Stop Oil is all-in)

Ed. note: This is Part II of a three-part series on eco-terrorism heading into the new year. Part I yesterday reported on Bloomberg Green’s recent interview with eco-terrorist Andreas Malm.

The climate alarmists are winning in micro politics but losing their war–and badly. And this loss is exacerbated by a number of environmental negatives for them (biomass, carbon capture and storage, hydrogen, nuclear)–and bad corporate behaviors that they deplore (greenwashing, COP ‘world fairs’).

Meanwhile, there is a tripartite fossil fuel boom with no end in sight, and the climate change window closes with the saturation effect of CO2 forcing. [1]

As the saying goes, the Church of Climate is left holding the bag. But instead of checking their premises about anti-CO2 ideology, eco-terrorism is resorted to. This is a double down, a final double down, that promises to sour the public and put a lot of extremists in jail.…

Bloomberg Green Gives Voice to Climate Terrorist Andreas Malm

The climate alarmists are in a trap of their own making. Their cut-and-dried apocalyptic predictions have not come true–and the public is rightly skeptical.

But instead of checking their premises, the eco-nuts are inconveniencing and offending the public, damaging private property, and ending up in jail. And they are damaging their own cause by … being crazy.

To Bloomberg Green, it is business as usual to give voice to eco-terrorist Andreas Malm. Here is what Akshat Rathi and Oscar Boyd wrote on December 14th:

The past few months have seen a flurry of climate protests. In Marseilles, a cement factory was sabotaged by activists for its high emissions. In London, tomato soup was thrown at Van Gogh’s Sunflowers by members of the group Just Stop Oil. Other activists have taken to deflating SUV tires in cities across Europe and the US to discourage use of the gas-guzzling vehicles. 

Happy Holidays from MasterResource

“America the Beautiful is at her best in December when billions of tiny stringed light bulbs turn the mundane or darkness itself into magnificent beauty and celebration. Holiday lighting is a great social offering—a positive externality in the jargon of economics—given by many to all.”
