This is an absolutely brilliant speech by British satirist, Konstantine Kisin.

Is Kisin’s Video For You?
- If you think that you, president Biden, Gretta, Al Gore, or anyone in government will do anything that matters about climate change, the video is for you.
- If you think that you, president Biden, Gretta, Al Gore, or anyone in government will not do anything that matters about climate change, the video is also for you.
It’s less than seven minutes long. Play it.
Play the video then think about the lead chart and the path of China and India while noting the whole continent of Africa is not even on the scale.
By the way, the population of India will soon to surpass China.
Importantly, and on a personal level, the single best thing you can do for the environment is to not have kids.
Climate Deniers
I have been accused of being a climate denier. Mercy. Actually, I am a climate realist.
Climate change is real and constant and has been ever since the earth formed.
The debate is over how much is manmade and even more importantly, what to do about it, whether it’s manmade or not.
Regarding what percentage is manmade, I don’t know, nor does anyone else. But let’s say you disagree.
Then OK, I agree with you. Let’s assume recent climate change is 100% manmade. So what do we do about it?
That has been my line of questioning for a long time. I just have never been able to express my line of thinking as clearly as Kisin in the above video.
A Big Green Mess in Germany With Coal a Stunning 31 Percent of Electricity
Assume there is a problem, then if there is a solution, it will not be the like of Gretta, AOC, Al Gore, president Biden, or the Green Party hypocrites who will fix it.
Look no further than the Big Green Mess in Germany for what happens when politicians are faced with the decision to heat homes cheaply or cut back on CO2.
The EU plans to tax other nations for not addressing climate change, while Germany bulldozes a town to increase the size of a coal mine. It’s also lignite coal, the dirtiest kind.
Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck, a Green who is Germany’s economy and climate minister, defended the agreement as “a good decision for climate protection” that fulfills many of the environmentalists’ demands and saves five other villages from demolition.
World’s Largest Tax Scheme
For discussion of the EU’s hypocritical carbon tax scheme, please see EU Imposes the World’s Largest Carbon Tax Scheme.
Meanwhile, the US is marching down an idiotic path towards electric vehicle mandates with no plan on where to get the minerals for the batteries. Nor does president Biden have an reasonable plan for the infrastructure needed.
Fed Chair Warns President Biden “We will not be a climate policymaker”
Preposterous ideas have gotten so out of hand that Fed Chair Warns President Biden “We will not be a climate policymaker”
“Without explicit congressional legislation, it would be inappropriate for us to use our monetary policy or supervisory tools to promote a greener economy or to achieve other climate-based goals. We are not, and will not be, a climate policymaker,” said Jerome Powell.
I am not one who often praises the Fed, but that paragraph deserves a standing ovation.
Constant Hype
The hype is constant and has been consistently wrong. In 2019 I noted Ocasio-Cortez Says World Will End in 12 Years: Here’s What to Do About It
The world will still be here in 2050.
On October 29, 2022, I noted UN Seeks $4 to 6 Trillion Per Year to Address Climate
Yeah right. Politicians are going to give Africa, India, and third world countries trillions of dollars and tax the hell out of them if they don’t comply.
The Hope of Fusion vs the Pomp of Politicians and Climate Activists
If there is a climate problem, science will find the answer, not politicians or activists.
For discussion, please see The Hope of Fusion vs the Pomp of Politicians and Climate Activists
Nonetheless, there’s A Mad Rush to Build More EV Factories despite the fact we have no idea or plan to secure the minerals needed for the batteries.
And Germany has turned to bulldozing towns to produce more coal.
What a hoot.

Climate cycles occur whether people are on the planet or not. Pollution is not climate change and pollution is improved by prosperity. Have you not ever been to an impoverished country?
Yes most “real” climate scientist do think there is some contribution from man generated CO2. However, they are not the shrill crowd and they are not projecting dire consequences.
Or perhaps more people with intelligence and a grasp of reality will start commenting, and bring fresh ideas on how to take advantage of what is happening in the world today.
The problem is not that neologisms are new. In fact, I admire American culture for its creativity with funny and apt one-liners.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin is up about 25% in a month, and the S&P 500 is rockin’ and rollin’. I’m short both of them, and we all know that markets go up and down, but I’m expecting to take losses on those bets.
Solar radiation is responsible for 99.97% of the energy impacting earth. The inner core is responsible for the other 0.03%.
Regarding Co2 levels and previous periods of hot and cold on earth: scientists know that CO2 levels have been as high as 3000 ppm and also close to zero over earth’s 4.5 billion year history. Scientists understand this and can explain it. Yet somehow you seem to think that this is some kind of revelation. It isn’t. It merely shows your total lack of understanding of the actual science.
Scientists can and have explained the entire history of earth’s climate. That’s why you are aware of mastodons in Greenland, sea levels that were much higher and much lower in the past. And big changes in temperature that take place over millions of years. You then try to cherry pick the info to somehow imply that scientists are wrong.
Scientists are not wrong. You are.
Looks like with the uae guy put in charge of the gobal climate conference money for renewable energy will go to making fossil fuels clean. basically a way to deal with pollution. Wants to keep us hook on the ole ff wagon. .
“Science” is a process of collecting knowledge in order to create new human capabilities. Human ingenuity creates solutions taking into account new capabilities and the economic and moral realities humans face.Climate Change is a problem the same way poverty is a problem. Grand efforts to solve it invariably result in the problem becoming institutionalized. So much money and politics becomes invested in solving the problem that actually solving the problem would be extremely disruptive to the status quo! Consequently, the problem cannot be solved, but must always exist and fear of the threat always elevated.
People without children have no reason to care for the planet. It’s not their problem. Will some people sacrifice their comfort for the sake of the future? Sure, there’s always those that like to gain social credit and virtue signals.
However the vast majority will just take their double incomes and run; If not when they’re feisty 20 year olds, but certainly when they’re bored and apathetic 40+ year olds.
I’m trying to wrap my head around these words. Is encouraging people to not have children really the “worst” policy? Really? nothing is worse than that? How about using diesel technology from the 60’s. Using hairspray technology from the 80’s.
I think of climate change as a tragedy of the commons with an assist from natural cycles.
The modern world is made possible by abundant cheap energy found in fossil fuels, and humans have never been safer from the whims of Mother Nature. The more fossil fuels are eliminated, the more vulnerable humans become to the chaos that is natural weather. When storms come, do you want reliable power or do you want “green” power?
