The global elites left Davos last week after grappling with solutions to the profound crises facing the world. They left as they arrived, unaware that the crises are entirely of their own making.
Take energy, where shortages have led to the highest gasoline prices in the U.S. and UK history and to fuel poverty affecting millions of people. If not for the specter of climate change—for decades one of the globalists’ central preoccupations—the world’s energy situation would be radically different.
Canada’s tar sands wouldn’t have been demonized and the country would have built the Keystone XL Pipeline and other pipelines to transport ever greater quantities of energy across the continent and beyond.
Liquefied natural gas facilities on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of Asia, the Americas, and Europe would have been built to ship and receive plentiful natural gas.
“Net Zero” policies wouldn’t be crippling the financing of new fossil fuel facilities. Carbon taxes wouldn’t be making energy ever more expensive.
In the same way that the United States quickly became the world’s largest oil and gas exporter once the Trump administration scaled back crippling climate-related regulation, Europe would have been awash in energy had bans on fracking and offshore fossil-fuel development been lifted to allow development of its immense oil and gas reserves. Instead of fuel poverty, Europe would be experiencing fuel plenty.
The globalists pushing climate change policies tell us there is no choice if the planet is to be saved from catastrophe many decades if not centuries from now. What they don’t tell us is that their prophecies of doom are based on computer climate models, all of which have proven false to date.
Not a single claim—whether that the Arctic ice caps would melt or polar bear populations would decline or tornadoes would increase—have materialized. Reasonable people can dispute whether the prophecies of doom will materialize in the future. Reasonable people cannot dispute that the globalists’ past decisions to override the free market have created today’s energy crisis.
Despite the globalists’ climate change policies, carbon dioxide in the atmosphere—now at 400 parts per million—have reached record levels. This has been a boon for the planet because CO2—also known as nature’s fertilizer—has produced a bounty of bumper crops. Australia reports record wheat, barley, and canola crops and near-record sorghum crop. India, the world’s second-largest producer of wheat, expects record exports this year. Brazil expects record corn. Russia, with another record crop, will be the world’s largest wheat exporter.

Nevertheless, starvation is on the increase. The United Nations warns that we’re in the midst of a “global food crisis” in which “44 million people in 38 countries are at emergency levels of hunger.” Here, too, the responsibility rests with globalist policies that make food unaffordable.
A dominant contributor to the famine is the supply chain disruptions caused by the globalists’ decision to abandon traditional responses to pandemics in favor of an experimental lockdown of much of the world’s economy. The chaos and costs from this decision by governments to apply their COVID-19 lockdown theory upended the world’s food distribution systems and soared the cost of food. The inflation created when governments printed money to support industries and individuals sidelined during the lockdowns then made food prices even more prohibitive.
Exacerbating the supply chain disruptions was the globalists’ decision to perpetuate the Russia-Ukraine war by providing Ukraine with billions in armaments, a departure from the past norm of pressuring combatants to resolve their differences through negotiations. As a result, agricultural production in Ukraine, once known as the breadbasket of Europe, collapsed, with wheat production falling by 44 percent and corn by 39 percent.
Reasonable people can dispute whether Western governments were wise to implement and fund the lockdowns, or to perpetuate the Russia-Ukraine war, but they cannot dispute that their actions spurred the increase in famine that the world is experiencing today.
The globalists may believe that the world needs their new world order. But they also exemplify the adage that the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

and Incompetent Brainwashed Politicians
AMEN!
only good globalist is a dead globalist
commie bastards
If I might, I might suggest substituting ‘brainwashed’ with ‘braindead’. (At least regarding the Prime Mistake (and Deputy Prime Mistake) of PRC (Politically Repressive Canada), Klaus Schwab’s ‘poodles’, True-dolt and Freeland.
JMO.
Klaus Schwab and his Nazi Cult expect to step in and takeover the world and enslave us ,LOL
✝️🙏🛐
Hopefully people connect the dots global economy sucks.
Don’t forget Bill Gates is pushing his Fake Food . If the world only had Gates Fake Food and something happened to the processing the world would be done , is that Gates plan
This was in opposition to the mercantilist strategy of countries trying to be self-sufficient and protecting all of their industries even if it meant consumers having to pay more for inferior goods.
With the advent of central heating and A/C pretty much any industry can be located anywhere on the globe. The only pursuits that differ by country are mining and agriculture. But if hydroponics could ever be scaled to a sufficient size, then the only differentiator between countries would be mining.
The US is fortunate to be large enough, and span a sufficient amount of latitude that we can grow most anything we need. We are also blessed with reserves of most things worth mining, even if it would cost more for us to extract than child slave labor in Asia or Africa.
The rules have changed. Adam Smith's concept of specialization no longer applies. We can afford to pursue a more mercantilist economic policy similar to that of China.
We can tell the world to shove it and we can bring back industries and rely on our own ability to manufacture, grow, and mine whatever we need.
This might initially cost us more, but it would also generate more jobs allowing more people to afford the increased costs.
This would also minimize or eliminate "entangling alliances" that always seem to backfire on us.
Why are so many supposedly intelligent conservative economists seemingly unaware of the effects of central heating and A/C on industry? Why are they unimpressed with the size and geography of the US that would allow us to be as successfully mercantilist as China?
This does not mean isolation. We can still encourage travel and can still allow imports of products we can't produce, and exports when there is more than the American market can consume.
We can also project some military power in special situations to keep our potential foes on defense. But this not need be permanent and increasingly irrelevant organizations such as NATO.
Right-and also, way more unelected creeps than EVER, who have power over policy and over the taxpayers
I’m not sure the intentions are even good anymore.
Some days, we will go without bread.
Some days, we will go without meat.
But the Third World will eat grass.
Thanks, Globalists!
Combined General and Global Warming PING!
WEF does not have good intentions.
“They left as they arrived, unaware that the crises are entirely of their own making.”...........That one line describes the whole problem. These at the Davos conference are mostly educated people I would think, & yet this tells me they haven’t learned much, except how to use some words in such a way as to only cause further confusion. Why not send some conservative high school kids to get things straight? A lot of money has been spent here & it accomplished nothing.
Even if the destructive policies of this administration could be ended and reversed it would take the energy industry years and years to fill the hole in supply created and only at great expense motivated by the soaring prices we have not yet seen.
Elections have consequences. Find your neighbor that voted for this abortion and crap on his front porch. He has already done worse to you.
I’ve been sure their intentions were bad ever since I understood what the Revelation to John says about them.
The “Climate Change” scam is built on the “Global Warming scam,” which is simply not true. Whole thing, all of it, is built on a house of cards.
There is NO significant temperature increase that can be ascribed to CO2 emissions, from transport or energy. None, zero, zip. They can’t prove it, because there is no evidence. It only exists in their computer models, which consistency fail to predict future years, and can’t even predict the past.
The 2nd part of their theory is that if temperature increases enough, some “tipping point!” will be reached, where the increases lead to increases, kind of a self sustaining heat reaction, and Earth gets hotter than tolerable for life. That, too, is a scam. No evidence, no proof, all just stupid computer programs.
Giant house of cards. All of this, killing pipelines, killing gas engines, shutting down GDP, all based on some idiot programs, which are created by corrupt scientists for grant $$$ and fame and fortune.
