Greta Thunberg: High Treason To Civilization? Make Europe Greta’s Apocalypse?

Greta, the climate maniac, has gone nuts and opportunistic for all to see… Her parents were actors, that’s her acting. She has protested hysterically and moronically against French farmers creating lakes to fight droughts. Her latest target: French freeways. She is helped by so-called “black blocks” masked hoodlums in herds by the thousands paid to go around Europe destroying stuff… Who pays them? Putin? How come they are not caged?

This sort of acting against lakes and roads has nothing to do with climate change, everything to do with celebritism… In France the climate war is turning vicious, the government having gone Greta. The government is actively dissuading people from driving cars, sometimes putting taxes in excess of $70,000 on ONE car (sporty models). The funny thing is that electric cars as presently done have no impact on climate… except and until nobody can afford them, nobody has valets to go charge them, or Musk solar panels with Musk batteries to charge at home their Musk cars, in one’s five million dollar mansion (from buying Musk stock)… so nobody can drive… which is clearly the aim in France. I am writing this in 2024. It was very different 18 months ago. Now it’s clear…

Yes, winter in the Alps, where I am presently located, has been maybe 11 Celsius above average in 4 weeks moving average (I am estimating this). And yes I am zero surprised. 

20 years ago, where I am located, there would have been more than a meter of snow for two months already. Now there are traces of snow… sometimes… a kilometer higher. Palm trees are thriving. Banana trees grow. Tropical plants are met in the wilderness, deep in the woods, healthy and strong. Butterflies in January… In the Alps, above lake Geneva… I am zero surprised: climate change is a super exponential and we are on target for PLUS SEVEN Centigrades by 2100. I have been saying this for years… And yes, the sea level will rise by meters, etc. The IPCC, the UN climate catastrophe body, has been careful to not be too catastrophic,.. Lest it displeases its fossil fuels fuelled sponsors… 

BUT a major cause for this disaster has been the fake ecologists who have dominated the information space for decades, with their lies and hysteria. They targeted nuclear power, and succeeded: we are still stuck with not very efficient and potentially dangerous second generation reactors… we should be in generation four, eating their own waste.

The price of the fake ecologists success against nuclear power has been a climate catastrophe: all electric generation that is not PV and hydraulic could have been nuclear, that is carbon free.

Also the fake ecologists pushed against hydrogen, prefering to sponsor huge electric cars for wealthy posers…

Indeed, wrong minded celebrities and eco-stupid people make a bad situation worse, as they made up wrong plastic trees to bark up to. Most ecologists are just celebrities insisting on stupid policies which are devised to be hateful and ineffective, to give fighting climate change a bad name, and preventing it… Because celebritism is sponsored by the powers that be, that is… fossil fuels…

For example French ecologists made a secret accord in 1999 with the French Socialist PM, Jospin: we will support you, but you will destroy nuclear energy, including maintenance and research. Wonder who got the idea… Simultaneously a law was passed to never drill for French natural gas. Wonder who got the idea…  And a solution was found: Russian gas. Wonder who got the idea…  

Such traitors should be tried for high treason to civilization.

Nuclear energies under all their forms, especially the future ones, are the number one solution to the climate crisis. True solar PV can help enormously in some climates… Especially with hydrogen and derivatives… Hydrogen that can also be derived carbon free from many types of nuclear…

A breakthrough was made in California at LLL, what is called INERTIAL THERMONUCLEAR FUSION was achieved with positive energy gain by multiple factors. The lab in question is a nuclear weapon lab, and that research is just a hobby. You would assume that Europe has launched a gigantic program of investment in this… All the more as it is laser tech dependent and lasers have extreme military interest, especially considering what is going in Ukraine, Israel and the Red Sea…

However, in Europe, right now, Greta has won. The French government has turned Greta and has decided to phase out cars (they will say no no no, but they are lying). Europe has decided to phase out growth. They call it “degrowth”, it’s the official policy… Wonder who got the idea… The same high treason to civilization outfit? 

All that European degrowth has accomplished is that now a US nuclear carrier task force is keeping the Red Sea open, and is engaged in the heaviest sea battle since World War Two (dixit Pentagon). The US task force is helped by two French and two British destroyers. They are all busy firing two million dollar missiles at a rich assortment of drones, sea skimming and ballistic missiles… Otherwise the Red Sea closes, and so does the Suez Canal, Egypt, etc… The point is, as Trump no doubt notices, is that the Roman empire used to sprawl along the Red Sea. It should be for Europe to keep the Red Sea open, not US taxpayers… Ah, but European ecologists paid by the Kremlin do not like nuclear power…So a US task force with several nuclear boats can’t please them… Or, more exactly, do not please their masters in the Kremlin…  

There should be a hefty carbon tax, all over, and the free market would do the rest… providing consumers with the most efficient cars… that means, in 2024, hybrid cars… And, in general, the most efficient battery systems. There is an optimal battery mass at a stage of battery development, depending upon the product (a fixed installation can use a massive battery). To be obsessed by pure Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) is not climate optimal. Demonizing the fossil fuel industry is so hypocritical that it is counterproductive.

Greta, whatever her name is, did not complete her second year of high school. Instead she went on knowledge strike because it was too hot in Sweden. But what we need now is knowledge. She should be careful that French farmers, who have difficult lives because of endowed hypocrites like her, may want to drown her in one of these bassines they built so agriculture still has water in summer… To feed us, who don’t dine with presidents, as she does, just because she has no education mais juste une grande gueule… to serve the mighty with her smoke screens…

Biosphere Annihilation: Why Greta Thunberg Can’t Really Say It As It Is

Attacked with violence, the wise will not just turn the other cheek, or civilization will collapse: this is what happened when Rome collapsed. All over fake speech rules (yes it’s not just Trump [1]). The answer to the tribal (thus racist) and ageist “OK, Boomer!”? “KO, ZEROES!”

It’s a higher form of bias to think everybody has GOT to be biased. Worse: claiming bias is of the essence justifies the principle of bias (as it can’t be avoided). Some people are world, others are tribal.

Climate activist, 17 year old Greta Thunberg declared that ALL the climate requests that people supporting her point of view had were IGNORED at Davos. Truth is that financial and fossil fuel plutocracies are entangled, and in world command. So of course they will not listen. Their agenda is deep, Machiavellian: the elites didn’t get in command by being brutish, stupid and obvious. Just the opposite.

The elites know very well that the climate crisis, even the mass extinction crisis, is real. How could they not know? New York is thinking of putting an anti-sea barrier, with a cost of at least 150 billion dollars. London already has one. And detail discussions are conducted: should the barrier fight sea level rise, or storm surges amplified by sea level rise? So of course, Wall Street knows: it just has to look out of the window.

And the situation is much more dire than Common Wisdom has it:

Running Out Of Oxygen (II): Culture of Greater Inquiry Vs Culture Of Greater Idiocy

So what do the elites truly want, deep down inside their sick psyches? Sick psyches, I said? Look at the widely admired Michelle Obama: she loves to spend $30,000 a week at “The Ranch”, a place where plutocrats can deepen their ties and conspiracies. Some Plutos going to “The Ranch” are not so happy, as the irreplaceable Michelle the trophy horse, goes there with two dozen secret service agents, complete with guns, earbuds, and looking at everybody suspiciously… courtesy of the gullible US taxpayer.

So what do the elites want in the matter of climate, down their tortured and torturing psyches, so sick even they can’t get there? I will tell you, because the depths are my abode, and I have said it before: mayhem. Because mayhem brings a call for fascism, and fascism needs leaders. Obama, please notice, was strong on the notion of “leaders” (Trump also is, but he is no as blatant, as he spent quite a bit of time disparaging some leaders, hence the leader principle central to the leaders religion..) Clearly, mayhem the CO2 catastrophe will imminently, and eminently, deliver.

Part of the way the elite rules is how it speaks and how it says we are supposed to speak, LYING ALL DAY LONG.

• • “Don Kemerling The kid has got an ego expanding faster than the universe. In fact, the people at Davos, except for Trump and Mnuchin, were presumably working after reading the report released by their World Economic Forum beforehand.
    It paints a picture of problems. If leaders deal with the problems realistically, and with the welfare of civilization in mind, it’s possible to deal with environmental problems effectively. The chances are small, I think, that catastrophe will be avoided, but the worse catastrophe will be social upheaval that cuts off necessary supplies to cities, where most people now live, and causes panic and violence in the streets.

  • I ran into a person a while back that predicted he would “die in the climate wars.” This attitude is not productive, but very destructive.”

Much to think about what you said, Don. I will read the Global Risk Report. But I am familiar with the general drift. My position is not that one should prepare for the best, because the best doesn’t need any preparations, one can go on as before. 

I actually respect Greta ever more, although she grated on my nerves initially… for the purely selfish reason that I have been saying this for decades, and not enough people paid attention. Then she goes to strike her school, and everybody looks at her admiringly, all the more as she goes around saying she is a mental retard… (with the implication that even a mental retard can see the planet is burning… so how come the Davos crowd can’t? Answer: because that’s what they want!

Instead, of preparing for the best of all possible world as Stephen Pinker, Gates’ employee, claims we should, the wise will prepare for the worst. And what is the worst? 

Is the worst a return to the Jurassic climate, with seas seventy meters higher? No. First, that return is part of the problem. Just a part. Another part is the speed of the change: back to the Jurassic, in a few decades. That will prevent species from evolving enough to adapt to a changed environment… except if they are insects, parasites, bacteria and viruses.. Some of which go through many generations in just one day.

Those small, fast evolving critters will in turn destroy unadapted large species of plants and animals. This is already happening, with gigantic forests now killed and ready to burn in mountainous or polar regions. In turn, while these forests burn, gigantic amounts of CO2 join the atmosphere. In the last few weeks fires in Australia produced one billion tons of CO2, 3% of the total CO2 produced by direct human burning in 2019. And the fire season is not finished in Australia.

Many scientists have claimed it would take 5,000 years to melt the largest glacial ensembles in Antarctica. I have no idea what evidence they had, aside from pleasin the powers that be. I read their papers, couldn’t see it. On the contrary, there is geological evidence that the two kilometer thick glacier above Hudson Bay melted in a few years. Moreover, it’s easy to describe a mechanism which would make West Antarctica, the Wilkes and Aurora basins melt in a few years. 

When could that massive melting start? No one knows for sure if measured by time. But, clearly a global rise of temperature of 4 degree Centigrades would do it (I have written that down; basically one degree corresponds to 200 kilometers of climate drift towards the poles; moreover the rise is double in polar regions. So + 4 C global would mean the climate of South Georgia… where glaciers melt when contacting the sea).

But the worst of the worst has already started: hypoxia, the collapse of oxygen production, from killing the phytoplankton. No sweat, professor Denning told me, we have plenty of oxygen in the atmosphere. However, massive oxidation (from rising temperatures, methane release). So the 10^15 tons of oxygen  may not be as set in stone as they appear. Much of the oceans is already going hypoxic, and are dead. It’s apparently the case that oxygen density varied between 7% and 32% during the age of animals…

It takes courage to be Greta. And Greta fights with what gives birth to ideas: emotions. The ruling emotion right now is meek lamentation around the weak euphemism “climate change”… when actually what is going is the worst mass extinction in 66 million years. 

So long live the Great  Greta Thunberg! I forgive her for not being alarming enough! She has to pace herself! She has to be political, and not hurt infamy too hard, too fast! When macron stuck his neck out, and claimed the oxygen density was at stake (did he read me?), he was widely ridiculed by establishment scientists part of the elite system in a basal way. But Macron was right, and right to sound the alarm. OK, I have this ongoing argument with professor Denning on hypoxia, and still didn’t write down my mightiest arguments…

Yet, time is of the essence, and I am apparently not yet angry enough… Thanks the Dark Side, we have Greta to show all that anger is honorable, as it should be. Let’s roar while we still have enough oxygen to do so!

Soon Greta will be able to say it as it is: the heat, the seas, the fires, will rise… while oxygen goes down…

Thermonuclear Fusion As A Moral Imperative To Avoid Ultimate Climate Catastrophe

90% of energy comes from burning fossil fuels. We have a climate crisis without precedent in 66 million years. True, Earth had bigger climate changes than what we have seen so far. So far, we have seen one degree Celsius, worldwide, but five degrees are around the corner.

True, at the warmest, something like 50 million years ago, overall planet temperature may have been 5 degrees Celsius higher. And true, when the climate oscillated furiously in the last 2.6 million years, sometimes it was 5 degrees Celsius colder than now, during the “Glacial Maxima”, or even one degree Celsius or so  higher, during the Eemian (115, 000 years ago, the last warm episode, caused by geometrical conjunction of Earth orbit details and the disposition of the continents towards the North Pole).

True some oscillations were fast and furious, like the famous “Dryas” episodes, the first one of which was 18K ago, or so (a mini glaciation suddenly affected Europe, caused by a brutal shut-down of the Gulf Stream beyond a place forward of Iceland, caused by a sudden lid of sweet, light, super cold water from the flow of an enormous cold lake).

However, most big changes were slow, species had time to evolve. Interestingly, the erratic climate of the last 50,000 years may have led to the extinction of the Neanderthals (in a theory mixing the exponential function with the concept of “quasi-extinctions”… from yours truly…) So climate violence is not without consequences.

But, as I said, the changes, especially the warming episodes, were rather slow. Not so now. Not only we are facing potentially the greatest warming since the Carboniferous, or maybe the greatest warming, ever, but we are facing it at a torrid pace: millions of years packed in a century or two.

Greta Thunberg The 15-Year Old Child spoke, and she spoke well!:

We are stuck because the worldwide production of energy is dominated by fossil fuels, and other burning of carbon made materials… the so-called “biofuels”, which sounds good until one realizes that it means burning forest and the like…

Not only the burning of enormous amounts of carbon generating humongous CO2 is disastrous, but it is getting ever worse. At some point, soon, the climate will break.

Yes, it  is not just a question of “climate changing”, and “global warming”. At some point soon, the climate will break. Actually ice shelves in Antarctica and glaciers in Greenland have been observed, disintegrating literally in minutes.

What to do? Miracles! Science made miracles. Science fabricated miracles already. Indeed one unexpected good surprise already happened: Photovoltaic cells (PV). PV is now the cheapest unsubsidized energy source, and even more so, when the dramatically adverse health consequences of fossil fuels are taken into account (probably much more than ten million dead each year, worldwide). However PV cannot work everywhere, and are not enough for 100% transportation, residential and industrial usage, except in relatively small zones in the middle of some deserts, like the Sahara. And that’s after digging for fossil water, and vast construction, CO2 intense, of buildings and exportation of industrial finished products.

Notice that the amount of waste varies enormously, per country and per capita. For example, look for France. France creates only one percent (1%) of the world CO2. That’s amazing, considering that France has the world’s fifth GDP. Yes, bigger than Great Britain, and only less than Germany, Japan, the PRC, and the US. In particular, Russia, with twice the population of France, and much smaller GDP, emits 5 times the CO2. US citizens, per capita, make three times more CO2 than the French….

The problem is: how do we make enormous quantities of energy in a way that doesn’t create enormous pollution? Not all countries have sun and wind, and water (although California does). A first approach is nuclear fission. That has bad reputation, because it was, for decades, mostly a military program. So safety shortcuts were taken. Also now California, which is full of sun, water, towering mountain ranges all over (thus hydro trivers), and oil, has decided to close its last nuclear reactor. California is where they fabricate most movies and thus most moods.

Much of the USA’s wealth rests on the fact that, for nearly 160 years, the USA was the world’s primary oil producer. Actually the world petroleum industry, was born in Pennsylvania in 1859, when “Colonel” Drake found how to extract “rock oil”.

Nuclear Fusion Or Civilization Fission

Recently the Trump administration reinstated in full the US funding for ITER, the International THERMONUCLEAR Experimental Reactor constructed in France.

Thermonuclear fusion is the only enormous energy source that can be envisioned at this point. It is not a question of its possible existence some day, but of its profitability (ITER targets producing ten times more energy than is poured in from the French energy grid). However, because of the bad mood of the powers that be, funding for ITER was slowed down to a trickle. that’s all the more abysmal as ITER is a world project so everybody, and not necessarily the most competent countries, pitch in with some equipment of their own making…

Thus some circles started to agitate for a US thermonuclear reactor (after good results of a brand new thermonuclear reactor in Germany). A US reactor will enable to get the best talent to concentrate best practices.

Why do the powers that be love fossil fuels so much? Because oil means lots of power in very few hands. That goes very well with the present day oligarchy: oiligarchy promotes oligarchy. Countries where oil production is concentrated, with the exception of Norway are all more or less corrupt (yes, Canada, we are looking at you, kid). Massive plutocratic corruption then trickle down: some major Obama administration officials, like Susan Rice, his “National Security Adviser”, son of her dad, a director of the US Federal Reserve, had million of dollars in the stock of oil pipeline….

As Greta said, we need to listen to science, knowledge. We need more knowledge to get out of this mess. The alternative is the old fashion way: reduce human population massively, by culling. A good nuclear winter and killing 95% of humanity would give the biosphere a respite.

Otherwise, the most recent research (2019) shows that the atmosphere could heat up so much that clouds won’t form as they do now, and a further jump of eight (8) degree Celsius would occur. That is astounding. But it’s not just a theory. Actually, it was the other way around: such jumps were found in the fossil record, and couldn’t be explained… until now. Now that we have found that a tripling of the CO2 would make clouds disappear.

That explains why crocodiles have, more than once in the past, enjoyed the Arctic ocean, and sunned them on  beaches in Greenland graced by palm trees.

After such a jump of eight degrees Celsius globally, from the disappearance of clouds, on top of a rise of five degrees, at least half of the presently inhabited lands would be too hot for biological life, aside from the sort of bacteria which live below volcanoes (thermophilic bacteria). Is that what we want?

If that’s not what we want, there is only one solution: more brainiacs, more science, enough of it to replace the 90% of present day energy production by thermonuclear fusion. At this point, it’s just a matter of building big reactors.

Note 1: Oh, by the way, once we become good at the simplest thermonuclear fusion, we could use the fusion of Helium 3 (there is quite a bit in space, including Saturn, Jupiter, and the Moon). The charm of Helium 3 is that it fuses in such a way that it does not fling neutrons at the reactors’ walls (because it produces no neutrons). Hence there would be no radioactivity whatsoever (thus the reactor could last centuries…)

Note 2: I thank my daughter Athena, 9 years old, to draw my attention to Greta and ask me more information on the subject at hand (my verbal answer is distilled in the essay above… poor child…)
