For environmentalists –
Attention, funding, and
(false) virtue signaling,
about “saving the planet”.
For socialists –
The (false) rationale for attacking
the faster economic growth rate
from free market capitalism,
vs. socialism ( faster growth
= more carbon pollution ).
For United nations –
A chance to be a global government,
at least on the subject of energy,
and redistribution of money from
wealthy nations to poor nations,
as 'climate reparations'.
For scientists –
Attention, government grants
and (false) virtue signaling.
For politicians –
A reason for new taxes on energy.
For the wind and
solar energy industry -
Government subsidies, to stay alive !
For the media –
End of the world stories to attract readers;
The scarier the prediction, the better !
