Western governments are spending trillions of dollars covering the world in solar panels. Now they want to dim the Sun.
Truly, there is no greater way to express the insanity of modern politics than by stating the facts of their policies.
It may look as if our baseload energy grid is being deliberately sabotaged, but I promise you this is a consequence of greed, corruption, and a weird version of the Saviour Complex where politicians with no discernible talent have decided to construct their personality around Net Zero.
There’s quite a few of them making noises in the federal election.
Repent your sin of success and capitalism with high taxes and we’ll … uh … stop this climate apocalypse we invented for our friends in the mining sector so they can flog their backlog of cheap minerals. Look! We invented a parallel currency of Carbon Credits… You keep your privileges and we’ll plant a tree on your behalf … or something.
And people will vote for this in droves.
From the same reason they pay priests to pray on their behalf.
Or because they live in a high-trust relationship with their deceitful university lecturers and never asked a follow-up question like the rest of us did as children with our constant mantra of but why?
A reporter found this out when interviewing University Students. Who are they voting for? The Greens. Why? Climate and … like … stuff. Trees.
Mind you, once politicians convince an electorate of ‘highly educated’ and comfortably wealthy individuals that tax can change the temperature, there really is no limit to the lies.
They have been convinced, by the way.
It is fashionable on the sensible centre and disaffected right to joke that the whole thing is a conspiracy, but plenty of people believe in the apocalypse. Just like they believed that sitting down at the pub kept them safe from Covid. Even politicians who used to know that Climate Change was a load of bollocks have been forced to repeat the sacred mantra so many times that they have forgotten it was a lie.
It is bad enough that the wealth of a generation is being stolen under the death cult of Climate Change and eco-fascism dressed up as environmentalism.
But it is much worse that these delusions have advanced to the point that governments are funding crackpot experiments to dim the sun, along with other geo-engineering madness, that, if successful, could cause a very real climate crisis instead of a politically convenient imaginary one.
I mean, has anyone asked Canada if they want to make the world colder?
Do the people of the UK want things to get wetter and more miserable?
Dimming the sun is the plot arc of a Bond villain.
No one should be doing it, and certainly not to the tune of £50 million. Sorry, £800 million if we count it over four years.
Considering they are manipulating clouds to achieve the effect, the chemtrail conspiracy theorists are going to go absolutely crazy. The human race will never have another sensible conversation about the weather. And I’ll lose a bet with a friend.
Remember growing up when ‘the weather’ was a safe space from awkward conversation?
If you say it’s a nice day now the person opposite is likely to have a mental breakdown and glue themselves to the floor.
I love this line from the Independent UK:
‘It’s thought to be a relatively cheap way to cool the planet, but critics have warned it could cause catastrophic disruption to weather patterns and even shift rain from areas that are vital for food production.’
No shit. And who is going to pay the reparations bill for disrupting global climate? Britain’s paying for slavery twice thanks to Starmer, so there’s nothing left to cough up.
‘This program will explore critical unanswered questions as to how (or whether) we might cool the Earth safely and responsibly on the timescales required to avoid climate catastrophe,’ said the research group involved.
Hold up. I am not usually one for the whole ‘global borderless world’ idea, but when it comes to manipulating the temperature of the world, humanity should get a vote before letting the scientists loose.
We are at the extreme end of ‘just because you can, doesn’t mean you should’.
Don’t worry, communities will be ‘consulted’ before outdoor experiments take place. Consulting is not the same as consent.
Governments love to talk about social contracts when you’re trying to build a coal-fired power plant, a dam, or even a fence, but no one seems to be seeking public opinion for the really scary stuff.
The hypothesis of Climate Change has failed every milestone and every due date. It changes its definition more often than the Woke change pronouns. Computer modelling has been unable to map the climate or identify trends correctly. After decades of research, the only thing we really know for sure is that the Sun drives climate. A child could tell you that. Our ancestors built temples to that effect.
If you do not understand a complex natural system and cannot predict its behaviour, the very last thing you are qualified to do is start experimenting.
Besides, decarbonising Earth is a monstrous plan.
Everything we know about the geological record tells us that extra carbon and a slightly warmer temperature creates a lush, Eden-like version of Earth far more inviting to the dry and relatively cold version of today.
Far from global warming, we are clawing our way out of a glacial period on the edge of an ice age.
Humans do not like cold weather, and neither do our crops.
Desiring a cold Earth is the fantasy of propaganda that began as a bit of political spin. It never should have gotten this far, but for reasons unknown, every Western nation has become infested with politicians who congregate around the United Nations and beat the drums of propaganda.
Is there something in the champagne? It is madness.
In a time when the UK Labour government has no idea how many illegal migrants reside in its cities and local councils have rubbish strewn over the street, they have decided to become the biggest geo-engineering donors in the world.
As Jordan Peterson advises teenagers to make their beds before trying to save the world, so too should the government prove it can perform basic local tasks before geo-engineering the air above our heads.
With the world on the cusp of breaking out into war in several places, not least between nuclear-armed states, issues like ‘water politics’ have become dangerous flashpoints. China, India, Pakistan, and other Asian nations downstream already use river systems to intimidate, manipulate, threaten, and control their neighbours. Do we really want to extend that behaviour to the sky? It’s one more thing humans can fight over.
No one is saying this particular experiment in the UK is dangerous, what they are complaining about is the path this sets humanity on.
We don’t want people dumping sulfate in the stratosphere. Or sea-salt. Or disrupting cirrus clouds. We don’t want them dimming the sun. And we don’t want anyone playing around with the weather.
For the record, it’s not only me who thinks this. The overwhelming sentiment on every article written about this can be summarised: ‘Just f- stop!’
Although there was a gem on the Daily Mail.
‘Do you know who doesn’t like the sun? Vampires.’
That’s going to be my new conspiracy theory.
