Don’t these kooks know that the “fix” is to quadruple the cost of their energy, make any fossil-fueled transportation completely unaffordable, and force them to live their entire lives within 50 miles of their birthplace? No more vacations to Aspen, Aruba, The Hamptons, or Martha’s Vineyard. Freezing in the winter and boiling in the summer? Millions upon millions of birds chopped up in windmills and fried in solar power plants.
What, exactly, do these people propose to do about their perceived problem other than meet and talk with fellow-travellers? How many of them have engineering degrees and are actually thinking about solutions and the cost of those solutions to civilization?
“What, exactly, do these people propose to do about their perceived problem other than meet and talk with fellow-travellers?”
The more “informed” of the crowd would say something like:
“Why, uh, replace the evil fossil fuels and, uh, other carbon emissions with green, renewables, like uh, wind and solar power...of course! Don’t you flat-earthers care about saving the planet?? Good grief!”
