I thought my use of fake to characterize climate change might be misinterpreted, but I couldn’t see a way to succinctly indicate that I wasn’t really aiming for sarcasm, nor that I believe it’s real. I’m sorry that it wasn’t very clear that I was just saying those who support fossil fuel energy production often also believe that climate change is fake.
I really believe that fossil fuels are making the world a harder place for humans to inhabit and that we should refocus our energy acquisition systems onclean and renewable energy because the US recently rescinded or stopped all support of clean energy. I see an opportunity for Canada to provide energy to USA. I believe that without those additional energy sources, they will lack enough energy to power their economy to the place where they want to be i.e. in control of Crypto and AI. Having the exportable energy to meet those needs will give Canada important leverage to prevent international conflict over energy.
Even though, or perhaps because, I’m old enough to remember what things were like when I was a child and a young adult. When I compare the climate I experience now to how I remember it then, it is clear to me that climate is definitely changing and warming. So I’m not completely bug-fuck crazy. I think.
THIS I agree with! Nations and patriotism have been out-moded by supra-national corporate conglomerates, banks, and cartels.
