It’s not about what they say it’s about

Commentary on the G20 and COP26 conferences, and about the people who attend them, from Scottish archeologist Neil Oliver:
He is best known as the presenter of several documentary series on archaeology and history, including A History of Scotland, Vikings, and Coast. He is also an author of popular history books and historical fiction. He was the president of the National Trust for Scotland from 2017 to 2020.
Luckily Aotearoa has great minds on the case

Classic marketing and propaganda bullshit given this from the Indian government, who are one of the actual powers with leverage in this case, Energy Charades:
As well as this:
People and nations with a future.
The funny thing is that I’m wealthy enough to not only take the hits from this crap but even profit from it. My kids, not so much, which is why they’re already discussing plans to escape our high cost/low income nation.

Neil Oliver was scathing of the political elites, the “little emperors” or “special people”.
Watched this last night – totally cracked up at the irony of bringing in generators to charge the electric vehicles.

If he wasn’t such a nasty POS fanatic about… well, everything except drugs and sex, I’d almost feel sorry for the idiot known as NoRightTurn. Here he is today with yet another piece of carpet-biting rage about how the Labour government is cheating on the whole emissions scam, Climate Change: Spin and bullshit:
I wonder when the penny is going to drop with people like this that just because they’re fanatics for a Zero-Carbon economy and just because they get idiot politicians like Shaw and Adern harvesting their votes by cuddling up to the concept, that doesn’t mean such politicians are actually willing to trash the economy to the degree needed to meet this objective.
In his many statements over the years NRT has exhibited a high degree of understanding of legislation, but shown no idea whatsoever of technically how to do this beyond simply cutting farming in half and a good chunk of what’s left of our pitiable “industry”. But I think the reason for the latter is that emotionally he’s so far down the crisis rabbit hole that he just doesn’t care, or perhaps even wants, a New Zealand of maybe only 2-3 million people (or fewer) and a feudal society with a tiny fringe of extremely wealthy people who can avoid all the crap, with the rest in miserable poverty.
I’ve seen such people praise Cuba as a low carbon-footprint society: a new reason to love communism.

But, but, they have trashed the economy!! They don’t seem to be finished with that, yet, either!
Hmmm, feeling sorry for NRT.. I’ve always felt sorry for the guy. Especially since I triggered him enough to turn off his comments all those years ago. Just used his own arguments against him.

Oh so you’re the one who is to blame.
BTW, did you read my post on Witch burning? The base article I linked too was very interesting.

Yep, it was me.
Yes, I did read that post. It was very good. Did the lazy thing and clicked the like button on the post rather than leaving a comment. Sometimes, there’s just too much going on in order to get my thoughts aligned to say anything comprehensible. Like buttons help, there. 😛
