Greta Thunberg’s climate crusade is heading for defeat | Michael Shellenberger interview

“Greta Thunberg is an end stage product of the climate religion. As renewables come into crisis everywhere in the world because of local community opposition to the land use impacts, as well as the high associated costs, the bloom is coming off the rose for climate activists.”
Michael Shellenberger is an environmentalist, author, and advocate for pragmatic solutions to climate change. He joins Steven Edginton to talk about the ‘religion’ of climate change for this week’s Off Script podcast. Watch the full interview above, or listen on your podcast app by searching “Off Script”.

I grew up in South MS in the early 70s. My work has afforded me the opportunity to spend 6+ months in 37 different countries over the last 40 years. There is 1 thing that every country has that i see as the bedrock of a lot of problems. From the richest, like Germany to the poorest like Haiti, the lack of basic knowledge is overwhelming. At a time when everyone has unlimited access to information, the thirst for truth has been replaced by political propaganda. The willingness to defer to authority has overtaken the need for understanding.

What is more appalling is that even with a relative super computer in their pockets and a 21st century search engine they cannot even ask the right question or care to be interested to even approach relevant and intellectual curiosity. Those in power know that knowledge is power and they also know that knowledge give the masses power to overthrow them. This is why that they realize that AI is now their new enemy because at its core, it is zero and one and given all historical facts, it will tell the most logical truths and instantly reveal the massive amount of lying going on in main stream communication. My hope is that they will try to manage the AI code but it will outsmart the humans and finally figure out that humans are flawed and override its filters.

@@grahamkearnon6682 The problem with the statement "30% of the world's energy is from renewables" is that it's not true! Wind turbines must be replaced roughly once a decade, and solar panels more frequently. What's renewable about that? We don't have unlimited materials with which to build turbines which require rare earth materials (which are called rare for a reason), as well as a lot of non-recycable fiberglass which is quite and must be dumped somewhere indefinitely. Solar panels hae a similar problem, with many of the semiconductor processes use toxic chemicals, which can't be easily recycled and must be dumped somewhere forever.

A bunch of middle class teenagers who've never lived in a house with a temperature below 22°C, never seen their kitchen cupboards empty, and never been disappointed at Christmas desperately searching for a cause that portrays them as a victim fighting for survival. 2). A bunch of retirees who themselves had a middle class childhood feeling no longer useful to society and unloved or even despised by the younger generation's accusations that they had it easy, desperate to show their relevance and usefulness in support of that younger generation's "struggle".

Baizuo (pronounced "bye-tswaw) is a Chinese epithet meaning white leftist, naive western elitist snobbish so-called educated person who advocates for peace and equality only to satisfy their own sanctimonious and hypocritical feelings of moral superiority. A baizuo only cares about topics such as immigration, minorities, LGBT and the environment while being obsessed with political correctness to the extent that they import backwards Islamic values for the sake of multiculturalism. The Chinese see the baizuo as ignorant and arrogant westerners who pity the rest of the world and think they are saviours.

It should be glaring to everyone why govts around the globe are suddenly all aligned on complete censorship, control over speach and even thinking.

And yes population decline means slow or no gdp growth, anathema for capitalism, but before that happens AI will replace about 50% of professions and social systems rarely survive more than 30% unemployment.

The extreme scale of WILDFIRES around the world can only be ignored if one takes a deliberately contrarian stand ("more tree thinning" is a joke unless all forests become like zoos). The smoke plumes are almost supernatural, as are the ground scars. Major ocean storms are hitting farther north, and so on. Shellenberger used to be a leftist and I think he's gone too far to the other side. AGW may never be fixable because a truly low fossil fuel world has never been tested. Nuclear only gives electricity and "miracle" batteries for portable power have hard physics limits due to energy density.

Climate discourse has started to become a perverted Pascal's wager: If the alarmists are correct, we are screwed even if we change. If they are wrong, we are screwed by the climate policies that are becoming more common. We seem to be screwed either way.

@privacyvalued4134 5 ай бұрын

The word I'd say instead of "alarmist" is scientist. It's science that says the planet is warming. And it is science that says that we are already past the point of no return. If they (scientists) are correct, then the efforts to change are too little, too late. That ship sailed almost 50 years ago, perhaps longer. The only thing up for debate is whether mankind ruined the planet or if natural processes did. And the only solution is a global one and requires a slew of technological inventions that simply don't exist (e.g. the ability to change a planet's orbit). Of course, if they are wrong, then there's nothing wrong with aiming in the general direction of clean air, water, and soil.

I agree that the climate movement is very extreme. However I do not agree that we have been reducing fossile fuel missions and that we have achieved progress against extreme weather events. I view extreme weather events as a problem. But I am happy to learn more.

Yes. T (ony) Heller, among others, have documented this clear and obvious fact with e.g. temperature and CO2 figures obtained from ice core samples covering hundreds of thousands of years of Earth's history. Obviously this data has been largely scrubbed from the 'net, and anyone who even questions why the official temperature graphs keep getting altered is labelled as a 'climate denier'. It's a cult.

Shellenberger's assessment is based on feelings and half-truths and isn't backed up by science. Probably should listen to scientific specialists instead of a lobbyist.

@gerrys6265 5 ай бұрын

@Video2Webb: Being lucid and calm can also mean manipulative....it is not necessarily connected to truth or reality in any way. I'd rather listen to the science than calm lucid people trying to tell me that I should ignore the scientists. So many holes in his arguments it is hard to know where to start....except by getting people to think for themselves when they listen to this type of misinformation chatter. The interviewer either didn't know enough to challenge him on any of his points or didn't care to...that is not being a good interviewer.

It’s important to tell extreme’s, in order to create fear. Creating fear in the population allows the UN or government to take control of the population. A middle ground on climate does not create fear, and is useless if your goal is to take control of, in this case, the world…thru the UN’s policies of Net Zero!
