Thank, dudes and dudettes. Instead of taking that fossil fueled trip to that burger joint, you could have given up your own fossil fueled lifestyle, gone Net Zero, and paid a carbon tax. Because you didn’t
What has climate change led to? Riots, uprising and tyranny
In ‘Fossil Free’, Sumant Sinha writes about the social and economic impacts of climate change, especially in oil-producing countries.
Dirty coal and oil are the main contributors towards global warming and climate change. They are also the main sources of energy for the rich, industrialized countries. The need for their cheap and reliable availability and transportation is perhaps the largest cause for war and conflict across the world.
The outcomes: riots, uprisings and tyranny.
The Arab Spring (2010–11) was, as one news headline put it, ‘A revolution of the hungry’. I would say that it was not just ‘a revolution of the hungry’ but also a revolution of the thirsty, a good example of the energy-food-water nexus.
Our history books tell us that the Fertile Crescent, the area that stretches from the Egyptian Nile to the mouth of the Tigris and Euphrates, is where agriculture began—where wheat, lentils, chickpeas, olives and even sheep and goats were first cultivated. Today, the states in and around that region are the world’s largest net importers of food and depend on North America, Europe and Central Asia for the same. Food is expensive, people are poor, and repressive regimes rely on imported wheat financed through foreign aid.
Get the F out of here. This was people rising up, starting in Iran with the Green Revolution, against heavy handed, tyrannical regimes, mostly based on Islamism. But, climate cultists live in their own little worlds where they do not accept what really happened and make up their own Reasons.
Venezuela is said to hold the world’s largest supply of crude oil and natural gas—what once seemed like a perennial cash cow for the petro-state. However, today the country is running out of food, its currency (the bolivar) has plunged, inflation has soared, and its hospitals are overcrowded. Contributing in no small measure is the political crisis that has taken the nation into endless riots and killings. So what caused Venezuela’s rapid descent into chaos? Opinions are divided on possible reasons, including misgovernance, subsidy-based state welfarism and even US-sponsored stoppage of technology transfer. But the consensus points towards the plunging price of oil, Venezuela’s main revenue earner.
Again, idiotic. Glenn Beck just went through this today. In 1992 Venezuela was one of the richest nations on the planet. Then they decided to elect a hardcore socialist, who was going to give them everything free. Then they started cracking down on their people, shooting them in the streets, and people couldn’t get beer, toilet paper, or food. They were eating zoo animals. That’s not climate change, that’s Modern Socialism, the very thing Warmists want to install around the world.
The vicious circle of the land-climate-water-food-energy-pollution nexus is upon us. In other words, the declining sources of energy and water supplies, coupled with pollution and climate change, are leading to food shortages that lead to political problems, that lead to energy inflation, that lead to food inflation, and eventually social upheaval and misery.
Piss off. Pure cult. I’ve really lost patience with these nuts.
