It’s fascinating to laugh at Biden’s climate emperor and enthusiastic private jet customers John Kerry The Ukrainian War “may distract the world from the crisis of climate change and produce” large amounts of emissions “that have a negative impact on the planet,” he complained to the BBC Arabic.
That’s the only thing that’s really tragic, not the environment.
The truth is that people like Kelly and many of his colleagues and predecessors have been obsessed with imminent ecological disasters that seem to be the same for literally decades, with the exception of Vladimir Putin, of course. It means that you have to take more responsibility than anyone else. Ukrainian massacre.
This obsession with the environment clearly wiped out our current president, and from the moment he took office, he worked to reverse America’s energy self-sufficiency achieved under the Trump administration.
He succeeded and succeeded in less than a year.
Result: The United States imports millions of dollars of oil per day, including from Russia (even if it is invading Ukraine).As Bloomberg As reported last year, Russia supplies the United States more oil than any other country except Canada.About 20 million barrel Monthly amount.
This makes so-called sanctions a pathetic sideshow. It’s really funny.
For most environmentalists, they are primarily moral narcissists who signal their own virtues. Few people actually do much for the holy environment other than buying Tesla if they can afford it.
Nevertheless, Bjorn Lomborg I wrote in the financial post as follows. “When the world tracks electric vehicles by 2030 and reaches 140 million, the IEA will say. [International Energy Agency] Estimates to reduce emissions 190 million tons of CO2— Only 0.4 percent of world emissions.of Fatih Birol’s words“If you think you can save the climate with an electric car, you’re completely wrong,” said the head of the IEA.
In fact, with the exception of some miraculous discoveries, the whole world will be powered by gas and oil for years to come, unless environmentalists force us to use more efficient nuclear weapons. prize.
The oil, purchased by the United States, Germany and many others, is driving Russia’s attempts to rebuild the former Soviet Union. Biden emphasized it in his speech, but he is very responsible.
He could have announced that he would turn on the American Energy Spigot again, but he didn’t.
At the time I wrote this, the stock market was in the midst of this aggression, so it’s somewhat surprisingly rising.
Those who know explain this as a trader who now assumes that the Federal Reserve must curb rate hikes. And there may be truth in it.
But I have another theory. Traders see sanctions agreed by NATO member states, including the United States, and consider them weak and meaningless. They see it as a signal that the business will not be interrupted as usual. Russia will continue to sell large amounts of oil to the United States and other countries.
Let’s roll a good time, Ukraine is terrible.
