    The splitting of water is the prefect energy source. The electrolysis reaction that is presently used takes more energy than it produces. The reaction needs to take place at the micro and nanoscale. The Nobel Prize Winning phenomena of ‘Negative Refractive Indexed Meta Material’ will create an energy necessary. These meta materials(man made) are catalyst that absorb an electromagnetic wave that separates the energy from the function and creates the right-handed energy refraction. The Bismuth ferrite meta material will accomplish this. This takes place at the micro/nanoscale, thus must by seeding micro spheres water droplets in the form of a mist. This system is contained happens in a “lightning-in-a- bottle”, type device. It is also necessary to seed, besides the Bismuth ferrite, Gold and Titanium dioxide nano particles for the creation of the necessary electrons energy to produce a water splitting ultraviolet radiation. The energy will be in the form of a liquid-phase non ideal plasma.

    This is primarily an economic debate. What I can’t quite understand is even if you don’t believe in co2 emission being an issue, which I was skeptical about at first. There is definitely warming and there is a correlation to fossil fuel burning but there is an anthropomorphic gap in proof of causation. But two of the bottom lines of this is that fossil resources are increasingly scarce and therefore increasingly expensive and give excess power to certain political systems who live where the few remaining puddles are. So from an economic position this seems contrary. This is particularly relevant when old maggie shut down the coal mines! What is also missing is the opportunity of presenting a market challenge (like the moon landing) to innovation pathways. I hear a lot of a tight grip on the past but the future irrespective of the beliefs, truth or politics will undoubtably not be the past.

    Our net zero project is not a cost - it’s an investment, like building the railways, the roads and the Panama Canal. Lord Monckton is a climate change denier, and he never mentions the melting ice shelves in the Antarctic. He conflates his views with the Thatcher years, but Thatcher ended British coal mining and supported global warming measures. With wind power, we will not ourselves pay for the wind turbines. Investors do that. These views are disingenuous.

One needs to look no further than Stalin and Mao to see that statement fully justified. What exercises the left is the need to impose their will on everyone else. They reckon that they know better than everyone else, and they're determined to impose their views on others. That's why they can't tolerate either the views of other people, or the realities of life.

    You don't even have to disagree with consensus to reject policies that will, beyond doubt, impoverish and starve billions of people, most especially those who are already poor. It's not rocket surgery. You'd imagine that in the face of catastrophe, greens would be advocating for nuclear power as fast as it could be built. Save the planet, deal with some radioactive waste. The fact that there is apparently no calculation of cost/benefit ratio at all, but only slogans and subsidies, points to the truth. Big Oil looks like a joke compared with the behemoth that is Big Green.

Climate hysteria or Apocalyptic Climate, viewed from a distance, are hand-in-hand and part of the woke, DEI, Neo-Marxist wave. They reject reason and objectivity. Only political action that improves their power is acceptable. The real shame is how many fairly smart people think that parroting climate panic makes them look intelligent and thoughtful. And it does not matter what damage they do, it will certainly be blamed on conservatives and the dumb deplorables. Like a man in a Soviet gulag standing in icy slush trying to find a turnip in the mud and yelling at a guard "If Stalin only knew what you are doing!", they will blame those who opposed the official policies and scientism.

Volcanos don't suck up carbon dioxide nor other greenhouse gases. Also, plenty more plants mean more absorption of carbon dioxide, while the changing atmosphere and terrain also complicate how the albedo effect affects the Earth. And finally, it depends on what long-term means. You have years-long seasonal cycles in the form of the El Nino-La Nina cycle coupled with long-term trends that Earth just undergoes as a matter of course, accompanied with the huge natural variations the Earth just undergoes as well in a geological time scale. If you're truly passionate about it, go ahead and get a PhD in Meteorology specializing in climate science, good that you're passionate, but soon you'll find the brutal world of grant money, tenure, corruption in publishing, censorship, academic politics, activism and money, character assassinations and so on.

    So. the wily Commies tricked the Western energy corporations and manufacturing industries to close down their operations and offshore their factories to save the environment? And that was backed up by tricking Western governments to fund corrupt scientific studies to make the whole scheme work !!! Putin's FSB is more capable and powerful than the Soviet KGB ever dreamed of ! Another, simpler explanation, is that a group of wealthy Western technocrats wanted to usher in a scheme of global governance and in order to do so they needed to find an issue that would cut across all national boundaries (eg, climate change, pandemics, corporate taxation, etc) in order to create the framework and institutions of said governance. It all might have worked if Putin and Xi were not Westphalian sovereigntists; as it does not matter to the globalists where something is extracted or produced so long as they own/control it: "our rules based international order". And so long as the Western elites continue down this grandiose, reality-defying, self-destructive, hairbrained path, Putin and Xi will be happy to give them hope (or rope) ...and egg them on.
