‘‘Hide a knife behind a smile’ is an old Chinese stratagem that explains Xi Jinping’s cynical use of the ‘Net Zero’ agenda to encourage us to self-harm.
An important new paper warns that the ‘Green Growth’ and ‘Net Zero’ policies being championed by the UK before COP26 risk handing geopolitical control to China. The paper, by Gwythian Prins, emeritus research professor at the London School of Economics, who has been involved with climate and energy issues for decades, is published today by Net Zero Watch. Professor Prins explains that the West’s decarbonisation plans are doomed to failure because they attempt to defy the laws of thermodynamics:
The story of civilisation is the story of mankind’s shift from diffuse, high-entropy fuels to concentrated, low-entropy ones. Net zero means trying to do precisely the opposite. Seen in this light, it is clear that Net Zero will fail, and in fact we can already see that it is failing.
But Professor Prins warns that the economic and military weakness that is being built in by the futile attempt to ‘decarbonise’ is a gift to the Chinese communists. He displays the evidence that Beijing has no intention of adopting the ‘green’ agenda. His paper deduces President Xi’s ‘green’ strategy, and shows how environmentalism in the west is facilitating his efforts. Professor Prins said:
We need to wake up. Xi Jinping’s strategy is one of ‘ghost attacks’ in a ‘grey war’, in which Free World ‘net zero’ obsessions have become one of his sharpest weapons. He is quite happy to indulge our fantasies.
But it doesn’t have to be like this. The paper ends by describing a Golden Bridge strategy – one which might lead to a high-energy, clean-energy, ‘China proof’ and economically prosperous future for the Free World.
Professor Prins’ paper is entitled The Worm in the Rose, and is published today by Net Zero Watch. It can be downloaded here.
Notes:
The paper identifies six key fallacies that have led the energy policy debate astray:
- Fallacy One: There is a ‘green’ energy transition
- Fallacy Two: Energy is like other commodities
- Fallacy Three: Energy efficiency will bring nett reductions
- Fallacy Four: Renewables are cheaper than fossil fuels
- Fallacy Five: You can legislate around the laws of thermodynamics
- Fallacy Six: The UK has shown world-leading decarbonisation
It goes on to look at the strategic importance of motive power and the futility of battery electric vehicles, the threat of Chinese dominance, and then spells out thermodynamically and economically competent alternative approaches to a future of clean and abundant energy for all.’https://www.netzerowatch.com/the-worm-in-the-rose/
I remember back in the 70’s the world was said to be cooling and we were in terrible danger of distinction. Petrol prices rose to heights until then unknown. For some reason that lie died down somewhat and global warming became the mantra. That cry then morphed into CLIMATE CHANGE. For some reason that LIE has taken the imagination of almost all of those “leaders” in the West. It seems these “leaders” have only two purposes and those are to ruin their nation’s economy and save the planet. You see, this makes “us” or “them” the Saviour’s and not the Lord Jesus Christ. The United Nations is the Big Wheel in pushing this LIE and we, the serfs, pay for them to promote the LIE. Here’s the latest.
If you didn’t listen to the whole video I understand for I didn’t either. What really gets me is these people can lie like they really believe their LIE! All of these people know what they are saying is a LIE. These people are the embodiment of what we read in 1Timothy 4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron. They are out for total control of your and my life. They are the Elite but A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.
Genesis 8:22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
This is the same government led by a professing Christian that was voted in against the Labor Party’s Climate scam. NOW, ‘The Morrison government will pledge $178 million in new funding for charging stations and other technology to encourage the uptake of low-emissions vehicles.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Energy Minister Angus Taylor will on Tuesday morning unveil their “Future Fuels and Vehicles Strategy” as part of their recently-made commitment to reaching net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
An estimated 1.7 million electric vehicles are predicted to be on Australian roads by 2030, reducing emissions by more than eight metric tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent by 2035.
The total volume of greenhouse gas emissions in Australia for the twelve months to March 2021 were estimated to be 494.2 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent, according to federal government data.
The Morrison government intends for charging infrastructure to be installed in more than 50,000 households and for public charging stations to be conveniently accessible for up to 84 per cent of the Australian population.
In a joint statement, Mr Morrison and Mr Taylor said a fund worth a total of $250 million would support business fleets and new technologies for long-distance and heavy duty vehicles.
They said their cleaner cars strategy was expected to result in more than $500 million of combined private and public co-investment and more than 2600 new jobs.
The government says it will fund both public electric vehicle charging stations and hydrogen refuelling infrastructure, leaving the door open for both traditional and hydrogen powered electric cars on Australian roads.
It has promised to co-invest with households on smart chargers, as it works on upgrading the electricity grid and with states and territories to address barriers to low emissions vehicle use.
Mr Morrison said his government’s strategy would encourage consumer choice by reducing the cost of low emissions vehicles, reiterating his oft-repeated line of “technology not taxes”.
“Australians love their family sedan, farmers rely on their trusted ute and our economy counts on trucks and trains to deliver goods from coast to coast,” he said.
“We will not be forcing Australians out of the car they want to drive or penalising those who can least afford it through bans or taxes.”
Electric vehicles became a vexed issue at the last federal election in 2019 when Scott Morrison and then-small business minister Michael Cash attacked Labor over their policy.
Both the Coalition and Labor had policies on electric vehicles but Mr Morrison claimed the opposition wanted to “ram it down the necks of all Australians” because they had a goal of 50 per cent electric cars by 2030.
Mr Morrison accused then-opposition leader Bill Shorten of wanting to “end the weekend” with vehicles that allegedly wouldn’t be able to tow a boat or take a family camping.
The rhetoric reached a fever pitch when Ms Cash declared: “We are going to stand by our tradies and we are going to save their utes”.
The Electric Vehicle Council reported that battery electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles hit a record 8688 sales in the first half of 2021, up from 6900 in the whole of 2020.’https://www.news.com.au/technology/environment/climate-change/prime-minister-scott-morrison-to-unveil-plan-for-more-electric-vehicles/news-story/a2e8dd7f361b8bd82942e42cd4a1a87b
The winners here are the elite and the losers are the tax payers!
Isn’t it sad and scary when a squealy dirty filthy gutter talking teen has the ears of political world leaders!?
