You can call this fascism, marxism, socialism, communism, whatever you want. Either way, Warmists want Super Big Government to control every aspect of your lives and the private economy. Zhao Zhong, a former nuclear engineer at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, is the China program coordinator at Pacific Environment, an environmental group, writes an opinion piece over at the NY Times, in context of a debate on whether nuclear energy is the way to go
Price Fossil Fuels Out of the Market
I agree that we should move away from our dependence on greenhouse gas-emitting fossil fuels at a faster pace and find replacements for our energy needs at magnitudes much greater than current expectations.
The single most important thing we must do is place a high price, or a strict cap, on carbon emissions to make fossil fuel energy less attractive when compared to other energy sources. We are at the beginning stages of capping coal in China but much more needs to be done. If we price coal and other fossil fuels to capture their true costs, it will immediately make all the alternatives to fossil fuels more competitive and drive innovations in the clean energy sector.
This seems to be the thoughts, er, feelings of most Warmists. Funny how they want Everyone Else to suffer for their beliefs, yet they themselves won’t give up their own use of fossil fuels, which they say is Bad.
