Meanwhile, I attended tonight this online seminar by IAF, FNF, on "climate justice."


I wrote these comments in the chatbox:

* Cap and trade is not liberalism. It is dictatorship. The env bureaucrats put a cap on CO2 emission and ration it among companies. Similar to food rationing, gasoline rationing in former east europe communist governments.

*  FNF and FDP should consider taking the position of climate and energy realism, not alarmism. The political socialist SPD and ecological socialist Greens are slowly losing base to AfD.

* CO2 is not a pollutant, evil gas. It is a useful gas. It is the gas that we humans, animals exhale; the gas that trees, flowers, crops use to produce their own food via photosynthesis. More CO2 emission, more plant growth, more food production in the world. The narrative "carbon pollution" is a lie, dishonest and corrupt. The ecological socialists like Greens Party, WWF, etc are good in spreading climate lies.

* Top 3 countries in the world with most expensive electricity are wind+solar lovers -- Denmark, Germany and UK, https://funwithgovernment.blogspot.com/2023/05/deindustrialization-13-more-wind-solar.html.
Exporting cap and trade, similar mechanisms from Europe to the whole world is global dictatorship, degrowth and blackout economics.
