From the link, which is Very Upset that Mnuchin would suggest this
Donald Trump’s treasury secretary has dismissed Greta Thunberg’s call for immediate fossil fuel divestment, saying the 17-year-old activist should go to college and study economics.
In a withering slapdown on the climate emergency movement, Steven Mnuchin pretended not to know who Thunberg was, before dismissing her concerns as ill-informed.
Asked whether calls for public and private-sector divestment from fossil fuel companies would threaten US growth, Mnuchin jibed: “Is she the chief economist? Who is she, I’m confused†– before clarifying that he was joking.
“After she goes and studies economics in college she can come back and explain that to us,†Mnuchin added, at a press conference at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
It wasn’t that long ago that Warmists said we shouldn’t listen to anyone who didn’t have a degree in climate science. Greta has none, and doesn’t look to be getting close to even attempting to get a degree in anything.
Fossil fuels make the world go round. They allow people to travel inexpensively. They bring all sorts of goods and products. They are an inexpensive way to lift people out of poverty. They enrich people. Until such time as they can be fully replaced, divestment is stupid. “Leave it in the ground” is stupid. Perhaps Warmists should spend their time and money doing research to replace them.
