Greta Thunberg and her followers feel that time is running out on climate change. We see that time is just running on. There is a climate change clock ticking, but people are not talking about it. This is the natural clock of cyclical patterns within the oceans and earth itself; cyclical clock of the sun and other cosmic processes. Human activity has added a layer of effect to these natural cycles. Let's talk about it all. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpFaZv2NLdA

TED Talks released a Yuval Noah Harari presentation in June of 2022, titled: "The Actual Cost of Preventing Climate Breakdown." The famous historian and philosopher claimed that he and his team at Sapienship had spent a great deal of time working on models and reviewing the work of the best economists. They came up with the figure of 2% of global GDP as the about of money to invest in stopping climate change, which they worked out to a little under US$2 trillion. What's wrong with this analysis? LOTS! First of all. climate change is a mostly natural phenomenon. Throwing money at it, won't stop climate change. Fear of a climate emergency has been driven by green billionaires pushing an implausible scenario known as RCP 8.5 as if "business-as-usual." Secondly, historians and economists are not engineers - models are not reality. Therefore, Harari et al do not understand the intricacies of the power grid. The Royal Bank of Canada also came up with a figure for decarbonization for Canada alone which was $2 trillion. So, bankers are not good at this either. This was a significant underestimation! Friends of Science has a team of Professional Engineers who have shown that the cost for electrification for the province of Alberta alone would be $2 trillion. McKinsey came up with the figure of $9 trillion a year for global climate finance and a total of $275 trillion. But even they are wrong. Ken Gregory, P. Eng., has done an analysis showing that the cost of electrifying the only the USA using solar, wind and batteries, (based on 2020 data) is estimated at US$290 trillion, or 13.5 times the U.S.A. 2019 GDP! Harari also claimed that this money would be 'investments' - not just burning dollar bills on an altar to Gaia. But renewables and all things 'green' only exist due to massive government subsidies. Harari felt there would be additional benefits from moving to renewables with less pollution; thus creating medical savings. But he doesn't seem to understand that modern medicine only exists thanks to fossil fuels, and hospitals consume vast amounts of energy, which must be reliable, affordable and high quality - with no dips or surges (which are common to wind and solar). It is the poor of the world who suffer from premature deaths and illness due to LACK of fossil fuel infrastructure. Yuval Noah Harari also claimed that pension funds have USD$56 trillion and they could finance the transition, but it turns out that OECD pension funds have USD$78 trillion in unfunded liabilities. Harari also thought that tax money hidden offshore could be found and used for financing climate deals. Unfortunately, 'ring-fenced' green bonds often ARE parked offshore, to avoid taxes. Imagine that. You, the little 'peoplekind,' have to pay the subsidies for green energy, financed by green bonds that are tax sheltered off-shore, and this form of energy drives up power prices so that you pay more for less reliable energy service! There's an energy crisis in Europe which will decimate that 'green' industrial empire - so this is obviously the wrong strategy. Just as this video was being produced, the news surfaced that the Canada Pension Plan had invested in a UK energy company called Octopus Energy Group. Octopus Energy Group are now paying their utilities customers to sit in the dark to save energy. Canadians can be proud, perhaps, that our pension plan is invested in this money losing company with Al Gore's Generation Investment Management - we are providing UK customers with Earth Hour every day...maybe even all day! As a historian, Harari seems oddly blind to the fact that ordinary people are being turned into carbon serfs in a modern day neofeudalism. If people say it is too late, the climate apocalypse is here - just tell them the Climate Emergency is OVER. We DO Have Time.
