Bummer: War Started By Terrorist Hamas Could Be Inconvenient For Hotcoldwetdry Action

Perhaps the members of the Cult of Climastrology have finally been given the go ahead to link their doomsday cult to the war Hamas started? Let’s start here

She did yammer about battery powered fighter jets, and sustainable war machines. Nothing like taking military advice from a yout who hasn’t even gone to college nor served, eh? Let’s go to the NY Times

How the Israel-Hamas War Imperils Action Against Global Warming

Global efforts to address climate change are already clouded by bitterness and distrust among countries of the world.

Now a widening gyre of conflict in the Middle East threatens to fracture an already divided world, raise oil and gas prices at a time of persistently high global inflation and direct financial resources to the business of fighting wars instead of the business of slowing down climate change.

That the fighting between Israel and Hamas is in the middle of an energy-rich region amplifies the risk. It tempts countries to secure their supplies of oil and gas rather than transitioning away from them, even after the hottest summer on record.

The winners so far are the producers of weapons and, to a lesser degree, of oil. Defense stocks have rallied. Oil prices inched up. The historical echoes are chilling, coming 50 years after the Arab oil embargo roiled energy markets. That episode was provoked by the 1973 Arab-Israeli war.

Well, gee wiz, perhaps the US, which is petroleum rich, could drill baby drill, instead of Brandon blocking most new leases.

All of this makes the next round of climate negotiations, scheduled for late November in the United Arab Emirates, itself a Persian Gulf petrostate, even more complicated.

The next few weeks will be crucial. If the conflict spills across the Middle East, it would likely shatter hopes of mustering global agreement on anything else, including the shared crisis of climate.

“This is a fundamental test of whether nations can firewall climate diplomacy from immediate crises,” said Comfort Ero, president of the International Crisis Group, a research organization.

Funny how it’s mostly rich folks pushing this stuff who refuse to practice what they preach, eh?

    The US is now extracting crude at record rates!!! The Saudis can shut down US production by increasing their production cutting crude prices such that US producers cannot profit from their expensive to extract oil!

        This has been good advice for EVERY link since the invention of HTML. I am amused to discover that there are still people out there clicking links. The reciprocal view is amusement that people still post links, knowing that most people won’t click them. I suppose the tic-toc generation clicks on everything.

      I doubt Bernard is a Troll. Bernard is likely just a script running on an apache server that posts the same couple of comments to every blogspot on its list.

      Trolls are at least real people like Hairy and Jeff.

        Funny, we consider “people” like Perfesser and Humjob to be trolls. Perspective…
