  1. Brought to you by our government paid ‘experts’ that YOU will be chastised and deleted should you fail to agree.

    They don’t dare say…Russia, Russia, Russia this time as Putin has the winning hand.
    He could cut supplies of natural gas in a heartbeat and it would raise prices even higher.

    Our politicians tend to piss on the hand that feeds them…

    1. When they aren’t pissing on the hand that feeds them they are pissing on the leg and claiming it’s rain.

  2. Hey, maybe all the windmills slowed the wind. Or, perhaps it has all wound up in Swiss bank accounts. Maybe they confused wind with the hot air emitted by green ideologues and their political friends.

    1. I have often said that each new wind factory (don’t call them “farms”) are subject to diminishing returns from the actual windy-ness of their location. It should be quite obvious that the FIRST wind factories have all be placed in the windiest places on the planet. The next wind factory placed in the second windiest location. The third wind factory … the third windiest and so on and so on.

      It should be patently obvious to any human being (older than Greta the Great) that certain places on the earth are windier than others. And still other places that are quite still … It should also be obvious that we are running out of feasible (proximity to human habitation centers) windy locations. Duh!?

      Global “Stifling”? Yeah … that sounds real sciency doesn’t it?

    2. wind farms take kinetic energy out of the atmosphere, and convert it into electricity and heat, the heat is returned to the atmosphere, but the converted energy is not…

  3. I pointed out to a particularly irritating leftard I know that eco-activists are NOT AT ALL about following the science, quite the opposite, they are about grabbing science by the hair and dragging it where they want it to go.

    This habit of “virtue science” has also been clearly demonstrated in leftards’ bizarre abandonment of facts and reality with the genders, too. There is no shortage of biology ‘scientists’ that are bending knee to this social insanity, so why would I ever doubt that climate ‘scientists’ are any less cowardly and immoral?

    1. Publish or perish, come up with something “novel” or risk redundancy and career stagnation/job loss, government grants, tenure, peer approval, societal pressure, and just plain old Marxism all come into play in science.

      Oh, and lying. Fudging and altering, cherry-picking, confirmation bias, etc etc. Did I miss anything? Dr Fruitfly is a “scientist” – he’s also a hardline Communist in the classic “Animal Farm” elitist mold and a human-hater, or at least a hater of humans he doesn’t deem appropriate.

      Scientists, in short, are human beings and subject to every human foible. We need to get over the idea they’re all paragons of truth, any more than politicians or the media are, and the need to do this is especially urgent right now.

  4. If Climate Change (“Its all I’ve ever done.”) is doing anything its making people dumber.
    “Wind stifling” WTF?

    Lemme quote Archie Bunker: “Stifle you dingbat.”

  5. If he hasn’t already, Boris needs to add a Carbon Dioxide tax so the price of everything can go even higher.
    (I swear to the Christer these people have a gun put to their heads – or their families – as soon as they gain power.)

    1. If you owe money, you’re a slave.
      National debt allows the lenders to dictate to the politicians

  6. The columnist would have done ok until I got to this

    “ All governments, of course, have a duty to tackle climate change, which is real and potentially dangerous on so many fronts. ”

    There are no more journalists, just state sponsored scribes.

    1. I’ll fix that:

      “All governments, OF COURSE, have a duty to remember they are the servants of the public, not their feudal lords. Policy-making should be limited to national security, criminal justice, and infrastructure; all else (and much of the aforementioned) must be approved by the public through their elected representatives. Otherwise, stay the HELL out of their lives as much as possible.”

      I can dream, right?

  7. Fun with lemmings.

    The pending cataclysmic end-of-the-world is a common feature of cults, and failure of the renewable-compromised grid will simply increase the insistence of their leaders that the faithful redouble their self-flagellation and propeller worship.

  8. Global Stilling eh..??

    Well I’ve often heard the phrase:
    “you just cant make this shit up”
    Well, thats Patently NOT true…..

    Utter Colossal BULLSHIT as its been since Rio 1992.

  9. I’ll leave it to self-righteous Gaia lovers to give up all their creature comforts.
    Be pure, stay poor, cool. Stay frozen and justify your over-priced Canada Goose jacket.

  10. Wait…wasn’t global warming…climate change supposed to make winds worse? Like more severe storms, tornados and hurricanes?

    And now it also does the opposite at the same time?

    1. The wind worshippers know the gods are fickle; as well, they are content with massively expensive virtue signaling, on behalf of Gaia, regardless of the real world outcome. Wasting billions of other people’s money is God’s work, and those who perform it while alive here on earth will no doubt be rewarded with 72 dead raptors, upon their ascent to the hereafter.

  11. It may be the rent seekers may have possibly oversold their solutions to the GREATEST CRISIS EVAH!
    May I propose the humble tree? As it grows it absorbs that bad carbon and sequesters it. When grown, you can hang enviro fascists and climate millionaires from their leafy boughs. And then you can burn the wood thus releasing that lifesaving plant food. And you grow more trees, sequester more bad carbon, hang more lefties, and burn more wood.
    I plan to become more obnoxious pointing out the joys of energy poverty interspersed with many ‘I told you so s’. Love it when the obvious becomes obvious to the oblivious.
