British banking giant HSBC has suspended a top executive who argued during a recent public presentation that the financial risks of climate change were overblown and exaggerated by central bank officials and other policymakers.
The suspended employee, Stuart Kirk, is global head of responsible investment at HSBC’s asset management division. He made the remarks during a presentation titled, “Why investors need not worry about climate risk.”

For the extreme left however, the goal is a reduction in demand. The extreme left wants to reduce 80% of the energy demand in this country, and they intend to do it by destroying capitalism.

For many of them a secondary goal is the destruction of this country, a country they believe was founded in corruption immorality and evil and that must be destroyed at its root.
The dull and ignorant democrat status quo rube does not get it. The world is not under assault by global warming but by climate change false alarmists using fake global warming nonsense to destroy US capitalism for evil reasons.


Economic Systems: The alarmists keep telling us their concern about global warming is all about man's stewardship of the environment. But we know that's not true. A United Nations official has now confirmed this.

At a news conference last week in Brussels, Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of U.N.'s Framework Convention on Climate Change, admitted that the goal of environmental activists is not to save the world from ecological calamity but to destroy capitalism.

If you offend officials supporting the one-world democrat socialist Marxist agenda in America this adage holds true: "If ye speak the truth in a Marxist world the truth shall put you in chains."

It’s not as though Germany didn’t get warned about their reliance on cheap Russian energy. The US went so far as to sanction the Nordstream 2 project in order to disincentivize Germany from expanding their addiction to Vladimir Putin’s natural gas, but Gerhard Schroeder and Angela Merkel proceeded to shut down coal generation and nuclear plants to gain points with the Greens. (Not to mention Schroeder’s point-scoring with Putin, who repaid him literally with a high-salary position at Gazprom.)



Now that Putin’s imperialism has come to its full fruition, Germany can no longer afford to pander to the environmentalists. Today, the New York Times reports that Berlin will order the restart of its coal-fueled electrical generation plants as natural gas reserves run low:

Filed under "Never underestimate Joe's ability to f(oul) things up", as stated by Hussein the Kenyan

President Joe Biden’s administration is working to wean the U.S. off of oil and onto green energy, but markets are pushing consumers toward using more coal instead.
The world’s largest economies are increasing coal purchases in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine impacting oil and gas supplies, led by Europe now that Russia has cut gas supplies to the E.U., The Wall Street Journal reported Monday. Among the places where coal consumption is surging are parts of the U.S., exacerbated by unusually strong heat waves pushing power grids to the limit.

Worth noting that this is for cement manufacture. Most people don't have any idea how much energy is used to take rock out of ground, break rock into little pieces, cook rock into different kind of rock, crush into powder.

All so that you can mix it with water and gravel and make new rock (concrete) in different shapes.

France schooling Germany


Fearing Russian gas shut-off, France's industry turns to oil​


AIX-EN-PROVENCE, France (Reuters) -France's energy-intensive companies are speeding up contingency plans and converting their gas boilers to run on oil as they seek to avoid disruption in the event any further reduction in Russian gas supplies leads to power outages.

Gathered over the weekend at a business and economics conference in southern France, several top executives said they were preparing for possible blackouts.

"What we've done is we've converted our boilers, so they're capable of running on gas or oil, and we can even switch to coal if we need to," said Florent Menegaux, the boss of Michelin, one of the world's leading tyre-makers.

France was much less affected by the Soviet's 5th column of green radicals.

Germany is still trying to come to terms with them.

As is the rest of the world, as they have spawned the likes of Greta.

Whoopsie!


Now, two new studies suggest that Biden and the Democrats are full of either don’t know what they’re talking about, lying, or both. Yeah, I know; both possibilities would be “shocking.” [eye-roll emoji]

Based on separate studies published by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) and J.D. Power, electric vehicles are worse for the environment than gas-powered vehicles, and battery-electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrid vehicles have more quality issues than gas-powered vehicles.
