South Africa strikes historic R130bn deal with rich countries to move away from coal

[Messor]

I see the rich countries are making all these climate agreements because some degenerate child is their spokesperson now.

Cool

Have all these rich countries agreed to force the people in South America to stop cutting down the amazon, you know the largest rain forest in the world, which is being cut down each year by the size of most countries?

If not, they can just shut up and f@ck off, they cannot be taken seriously.

Greta was not invited to Cop26. She was also not invited to address the meeting after she arrived uninvited.

I guess you don’t have to. The marvel of excess consumption is that our grandchildren pay the price.

assuming availability of food resources decreases, population increases, and environmental pollution is not resolved

i'm optimistic that somewhere some smart researcher is working on a self powered, self replicating bot swarm that can burrow landfill and swim to gather plastic, and that commercial hydroponics becomes economically viable at scale

If Yellowstone erupts, consumption in the U.S. and elsewhere will decrease, so there’s something to look forward to, which is nice…

Unfortunately, while it may be a rich man’s concern, the impacts will be felt by everyone. The poor and undeveloped will be impacted the hardest

Yet the best way to uplift the poor and develop countries is with industry powered by coal and nuclear. Renewables don’t cut it. So let’s keep the poor counties poor by forcing them to use very expensive and impractical renewables.

Amazing how the west gets demonised for using coal and nuclear but Not a peep about China or India - the worlds biggest polluters. No one is ranting in Tiananmen Square demanding they repent. This climate hysteria is just another version of identity politics. It’s targeted the West, all sold on fear and for the children to control people and increase taxes that harm the consumer.

What has the SA government done with all the carbon tax paid on tyres and new vehicles?

They used it to pay for new expensive German cars, takeaway, booze and orgies. Like they do with all tax revenue.

I don't regard what we have as a government. They are just a gang organised around stealing whatever they can from the fiscus at every level from ministerial to local councilor. Their nominal job of governing is just an enabler to that.

The top of that pyramid scheme is Al Gore, the ex vice president of the US.

The monies paid in carbon tax are going to Al Gore and affiliate companies for - wait for it - planting trees. Just planting trees, nothing else.

They do not have to disclose where they are planting them, when, what species and how many. So it's like buying indulgences from the Catholic church : pay now, sin later, all is forgiven.

By now, they could have repopulated the Amazon rainforest a few times over. Somewhere on the planet is a giant forest we know nothing about. Or not ?
