The Race To The Bottom

 We are on our way and when we get to the bottom we are going to dig to go further.  I was reading a report about my favourite pet peeve subject.  Climate Change and CO2 reduction blah blah blah etc ad infinitum.

It was about how the whole world is connected and how in general terms what ever we do in this country doesn't change a thing except make us poorer.  If no one else is doing what we are doing we are wilfully destroying our country in pursuit of the unreachable.  We contribute less than 1% and if CO2 was actually the temperature knob then it is barely noticeable almost trace background.  One good volcano and all your work is gone.  I like that people think that any benefit would only work here, in the UK!  The 99.1% from the rest of the world needs to do something?

So a bit like cleaner air zones.  It's flawed because like earlier this week Saharan dust was again present around the country and paying £12.50 for a car in a clean air zone did sweet fanny Adams to make it clean.  I recall a lamp post with a sign on in Lewisham (A South East London suburb) that said a Nuclear Free Zone.  Which was impressive, I imagine the war hungry nuclear powers making their bombs drop in the neighbouring borough so as to comply and not damage it!

There's this strange lack of understanding about science and how people grasp facts and figures too.  It is as if they think that things only exist within a country's borders.  They don't seem to appreciate that we can't change the temperature only in our own country, it doesn't work like that.  A bit like me proposing that double glazing window units be filled with CO2.  If it's that powerful then it should be able to assist heating your home right? (I know it doesn't) but that's the fragility of the argument surely?  CO2 is heavier than Oxygen and Nitrogen so unless it gets stirred around a lot can it really be higher up in the atmosphere to heat up etc.  I am over simplifying it for sure but the impact on our lives of doubling or tripling our energy bills and taxing us at the highest since WW2 is only destroying our way of life and no one seems to be looking elsewhere whilst we punish ourselves with this self harm.  We are all but in recession.  Rachel from Accounts will say and do something tomorrow apparently.

Our economy is getting smashed at the altar of the golden idols of public services and climate change and now talk of war again.  Does no one learn from the past, are we going to repeat the failures of the past which are well documented and available to see?  

I like that Pensioners like myself are potentially to be means tested for our pensions.  Something I have paid into the system for over 50 years!  These clowns are now looking at the private pension that I also put aside and wanting to do something about it?  They already tax it and want more.  Thieving bastards the lot of them.

The whole lot of them are pathetic and are just spunking money away on virtue signalling causes.  If they stopped and thought about it, they could make the country great again with a few subtle changes but no, they cannot think outside of the ideology and their blinkered philistine pig ignorance.  They should consider what the Laffer Curve is and think about the resistance that will come about by more un-audited, unhinged, crazy, no ROI analysed spending. It's a shame to see it all collapsing at the hands of these amateurs but maybe that's what is needed to jerk the country back onto the straight and narrow.
