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.…
