Another McCarthyism
Climate change is an existential threat to mankind - not in its authenticity, but rather in its idealism. The solution paraded by eco-politicians to a doubtful, dubious problem is the undeniable, bona fide threat. The gratuitous remedy being advanced is an act of retrogression, setting humans and humanity backward and into a perilous time.
Of course, anthropogenic climate change is not deniable provided you are a progressive politician seeking power using climate change as a conduit for votes. It is not undeniable provided you are a scientist or bureaucrat highly funded and financed for advocacy. It is further undeniable if you use visceral thought instead of reasoned study.
President Joe Biden created the post of White House National Climate Advisor (NCA). It was first given to Gina McCarthy, previously an Environmental Protection Administrator under the Obama Administration. The position is now held by Ali Zaidi – neither of the two are climatologists. The NCA position is an unregulated appointment selected, without condition, by the President and thus not vetted by the Senate.
I return to the end of May of this year and an Axios interview with Gina McCarthy. In the linked video, Ms. McCarthy claims that as a result of the rising deaths each year from climate change, no one can doubt the authenticity of the hypotheses. It would seem that the International Disaster Database of the Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA) and the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED) as shown next would strongly disagree.
If one reads the research papers of world-renowned epidemiologist Dr. Mikko Paunio, MD, Ph.D., MHS, one will see that many more people die from the absence of fossil fuel energies than the fallacious climate-related deaths petitioned by some politically-partisan hireling. I link one such paper here.
In an attempt at deflection and diversion, McCarthy calls on the giants of high-tech social media to suppress information from climate change opposition. Naturally, they have been performing the tasks as the public relations arm of the leftists in the Democratic Party for decades. The control of opposing climate change content is no exception.
McCarthy claims that within a few years, renewable energies will be replacing traditional fossil fuels. Yet, it cannot happen - it is implausible, unworkable, and completely unaffordable. Due to the intermittency and sporadic nature of renewables, the cost of battery storage alone will be greater than the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of most nations and they will have to be replaced frequently. This is all mathematically evidenced by the research paper linked here. The author of the paper states, “The activists and politicians pushing us toward this new energy system of wind/solar/storage are either being intentionally deceptive or totally incompetent.
Without exception, we have these partisan progressives who remain totally silent on nuclear energy systems. Nuclear, of course, can supply sufficient generated power to fully sustain the nation without a modification to the current grid and, at the same time, emit zero carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere. The problem of course is that this ultimate compromise effectively ends the climate change battle and the deceptive ability of progressives to scare people into voting for them.
Instead, as a ludicrous stopgap, progressives endeavored to bootlick (or sandal-lick) the Organization of Petroleum-Exporting Countries (OPEC) to provide oil, but since that groveling didn’t materialize, they have lifted sanctions in pursuit of Venezuelan oil, despite that nation’s horrendous infringements on human rights. Notwithstanding, having the world’s largest oil reserves, to hell with domestic production, jobs, and the livelihoods of Americans.
Without expertise, facts, knowledge, or competence on the subject, these people chose softball interviews performed by sectarian sources.
