A Reversing World
In reviewing the graphic “Visualizing All the World’s Carbon Emissions by Country” below, you’ll note that China, Russia and India”, release just under 43% of all the world’s anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions. You can also translate that to 1.29% of manmade emissions since people are only responsible for a total of 3% of all CO2 in the atmosphere.
Where the disadvantage occurs is in the field of economics. As developed countries wage warfare on the deception of climate change through the ineffective and hopeless Net Zero agenda, they factually hand over wealth to the three indicated in the first paragraph.
Why? China, Russia, and India are not going to participate in any illusory climate change program. The economies of these countries will grow to accelerate to a much higher gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, while those committed to Net Zero will suffer significantly.
The currently wealthier countries are about to relinquish what has made their economies boom over the last century and a half, and provided them with astounding growth - combustible fuels containing hydrocarbons. This will not transpire with China, Russia, India and most of other nations shown in the graphic as “Rest of World”. Irrespective of any demands and pressures placed by the existing wealthy nations, they’ll all continue to use fossil fuels.
It’ll end up being like a baseball game where the United States, Canada, and Western European countries do not have baseball gloves and are made to use a 10” bat.
In the initial stages, after James Hansen’s testimony, in 1988, elitist progressive leaders assumed that climate change promotion would become like the movie, “Independence Day”, where the countries of the world would unite and collectively fight the make-believe foe.
As I wrote in my 2022 article “The Climate Act”, “That illustrates the arrogance and conceit of the neo-liberal American way – evidently, in most all cases the actions of the United States of America will medicate and cure all worldwide ills. That is of course if one deems anthropogenic climate change a verifiable illness – yet no one can.”, and, “After all, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said, if the United States leads in the matter, China will surely follow. This will prove about as true as her January 2019 prediction citing the end of the world in 12 years.
In reality, China will thrive as it burns fossil fuels to create solar panels and wind turbines for the rest of the world. Where would they get these hydrocarbon fuels come from? They will be shipped from Russia, the Middle East, and the third-world countries mostly located in Africa.
There have been enough studies completed that prove and clearly establish that no amount of solar, wind, batteries, or biomass energy can replace fossil fuels – not even close. While progressive politicians are coming around to atomic energy, it’s a little late in the game and the move to nuclear is not moving fast enough.
So how are the political elite and bureaucrat aids getting away with this?
Apathy, ignorance and indifference - rarely can anyone even tell me the volume of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The progressive politicians continue to believe that the fear and trepidation they invoke on voters will preserve and safeguard their legislative powers.
