Indulge me for a moment. Climate change is real and CO2 is in fact the cause. Then the 1 Billion western people must right now accept defeat. The remaining 7 billion people on the planet will and can right now burn everything they can find to build something to sell to the west.
How do I know? For more than a decade, Asians have increased production of C02 many times the amount of the reductions seen in the US and Europe. Game over.
2011 US = 5336.2 Million tonnes of Carbon dioxide
2021 US = 4701.1 million tonnes of Carbon dioxide
US Reduction of 635.1
2011 China = 8793.5 million tonnes of Carbon dioxide
2021 China = 10523.0 million tonnes of Carbon dioxide
When I was about 40, I led the turnaround of the moribund Alberta oil sands industry. The result was 500,000 new jobs, $250 billion in capital investment in Alberta, equivalent to $500 billion today; Canada became the number four oil producer in the world and more than $1 trillion was injected into the Canadian economy. That impact would be equivalent to more than $10 trillion in the USA.
I have published more than a dozen papers on the science of climate. In 2002, my co-authors and I wrote conclusively that there was no real climate crisis, and that green energy was not green and produced little useful dispatchable energy.
Competent, honest scientists hold that view.
There are absolute disproofs in the false concept that CO2 drives global temperature. CO2 changes lag temperature changes in the atmosphere at all measured timescales. The future cannot cause the past. The disproof is that simple and that absolute.
The key papers are Kuo et al in Nature 1990, MacRae in icecap.us in 2008, and Humlum et al in Science in 2013.
The fraudsters who promote the climate scam have been successful in suppressing this absolute disproof. The great American scholar Dr Thomas Sowell recently published a strong support of this absolute disproof.
For references, see the two first volumes of my Cull Trilogy, published under my name Allan MacRae on Amazon.
The first volume also contains one of the earliest and most accurate denunciations of the Covid scam.
climate change is malthusian eugenics. there probably won't be a civilization even though western world bombs, does regime chances, does austerity loans to second and third world countries for resources. irrelevant what elites exist or don't exist. people poop babies, resources per capita decline as energy declines and mineral quality ore content declines and angry population ensues. rationing of resources and permanent shut down of economy with data tracking for every inch of resources and choosing of population is only hope for mankind.

Asia Pacific, led by China has buried any reductions by the US.

Hi Peter,
My expertise is energy and climate.
When I was about 40, I led the turnaround of the moribund Alberta oil sands industry.

Great article!
In a long interview with Climate Skeptic Bjorn Lomborg, Jordan Peterson noted that since 2000 (?), in the age of CO2 fertilization of the atmosphere, some 15% of desert land has been greened.

Excellent! Thanks for sharing this Peter.
