Sunak goes on to helpfully explain that “governments of all stripes have not been honest about the cost and trade-offs,” that the drive for Net Zero would impose “unacceptable costs on hard-pressed British families,” and that “we’re not going to save the planet by bankrupting the British people.” It’s almost as if he reads Doomberg. A perusal of 30 years’ worth of UK inflation data contextualizes Sunak’s newfound appreciation for physics:“Rishi Sunak on Wednesday ignited a business backlash and a Conservative civil war on the environment as he announced a series of U-turns on critical targets to tackle climate change. The UK prime minister pushed back a ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030 to 2035 in a delay that is strongly opposed by some carmakers…
Sunak also relaxed the 2035 phaseout target for the installation of new gas boilers by introducing an exemption for the most hard-pressed households so they will ‘never have to switch at all.’”
![]() The UK’s walk back from the cliff was followed swiftly by a similar retrenchment on the part of Sweden’s ruling party and comes on the heels of Canada’s reacceptance of nuclear power, the Biden administration’s active management of the oil markets with the expressed intent of lowering prices, the rightward tilt of the German electorate, and angst among the climate alarmists over the upcoming United Nations COP-28 annual gathering. Call us crazy, but we are sensing a pattern. It was inevitable that the relentless assault against fossil fuels would manifest in economic hardship for the lower and middle classes, and as the Northern Hemisphere heads into winter, it is once again rolling the dice on energy policy. This time the signs of crisis are emerging in a vital commodity that, unlike natural gas, has no substitutes. The market for middle distillates like diesel and heating oil is showing real signs of stress, especially on a seasonally adjusted basis, leaving an opening for our geopolitical opponents to drive a polarizing wedge into our domestic politics. Might an acute crisis in this all-important but often underappreciated corner of the commodity markets accelerate the demise of the political power held by climate alarmists? Will they go down without a fight, or—as we expect—flame out rather than fade away? Let’s take a tour of the global markets for refined fuels and find out... |
That is the truth right there. Cost and tradeoffs.“governments of all stripes have not been honest about the cost and trade-offs,” that the drive for Net Zero would impose “unacceptable costs on hard-pressed British families,”
Same with COVID lockdowns and school closings. Elites suffer from a toxic amalgamation of myopic perspectives, illusions of control, paternalism, authoritarianism, and cowardice. I'm sure the CCP approves of the methods the elites use here in the US.That is the truth right there. Cost and tradeoffs.
People dont realize what they are signing up for.
The Elites will soon be the Delites!!!Same with COVID lockdowns and school closings. Elites suffer from a toxic amalgamation of myopic perspectives, illusions of control, paternalism, authoritarianism, and cowardice. I'm sure the CCP approves of the methods the elites use here in the US.

It's what makes Richard turn into Espola. Brow beating, except he likes to beat a bit further south and brag about it..Well let's make sure to push everyone to adjust to something that could happen. I mean, if you don't virtue signal and brow beat as a political party, how can you take full control of the masses?

Ratboy starts his weekends on Mondays... day drinking is a sport to him.Happy hour come a little early to your place, CisKer?
I bet him and Husker Du logged in as EOTL and Surf Futbol to really let me have it. Husker left for almost a year as he played EOTL. Husker always hated me. I wear the ignore with pride and 100% it's my badge of honor. Expola never responds to you either. Are you on Fudd's ignore list too?Ratboy starts his weekends on Mondays... day drinking is a sport to him.
And when Richard puts someone on ignore it's like a badge of honor, except he logs on as a guest so he can read all the post so he really never puts anyone on ignore. It's an act..
No idea. He's always logging in ss a guest anyway so it's just semantics..I bet him and Husker Du logged in as EOTL and Surf Futbol to really let me have it.

This is for @dad4 and others. My chuckle of the day...
Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris told an audience in Pennsylvania that young people are experiencing something called “climate anxiety.” They are questioning “whether it makes sense for you to even think about having children, whether it makes sense for you to think about aspiring to buy a home because what will this climate be?”
What Harris didn’t mention was that a study published earlier this year found that those who are the most worried about climate change tend to know the least about it. According to the findings, “people who know more … about the environment in general, and about climate in particular, are less … anxious about climate change.”
