Green tyranny has finally provoked mass reactions, and the first government has fallen after imposing insane policies that wrecked the food supply for its people. Both the president and the prime minister of Sri Lanka are resigning in the wake of massive mobs storming and occupying their residences, burning the PM’s private house and refusing to leave the presidential palace until both men are out of office. (snip) Farmers in Holland, in open revolt against government plans to destroy their livelihoods by limiting nitrogen application for fertilizer, are tying up that country’s roads and cities. And the revolt is spreading to Germany, Italy, Spain, and Poland.

The beauty of this is that the Greens have gone far enough to punch the average working people in the face and that never goes well. Further, the resulting pain is linked to a clear source, environmental action. Where people like the idea of a clean environment, they are not willing to pay a big price for it, especially not a painful price. "Environmental legislation" is going to be dirty, fightin' words for a while. Europe has gone all "climate change" because they think the US will be economically hobbled if they drag us into stronger action, like Brandon is doing. It is hurting us and in response to such pain, the American People are about to FLUSH the dems and their agendas. Europe, having gone too far for even the milquetoast Europeans, is going to have a much tougher time playing the climate game.
Maybe while we are recognizing the "costs" of fighting "climate change" is NOT worth the insane price, we can start tearing the mask off the "science" and realize that the science is VERY far from being "settled" and is instead very uncertain. Yes, there may be some things happening with the climate. Surprise, there always is. It is not static. However, the extent of the changes and more importantly the CAUSE of the changes is VERY uncertain. Many predictions have been made. When you dig around in the word salads of the reports and assessments, "low confidence" is the label placed on much of the research. Simply put, our ability to do scientific analysis of a complex and incompletely understood climate system makes it IMPOSSIBLE to get results we can have confidence in. The models in use are over simplified because to add in more complete factors would require running the computer simulations for decades to get a result. Instead of admitting this critical limitation, the climate scientists pretend that the simplified models are good enough for them to make their proclamations. When the models don't work to explain the climate reality over the more recent past, they get busy tweaking the models instead of ADMITTING that we do not have either sufficient knowledge or technology to do accurate models now.
This is a corruption of science, who's most important tenant is to "seek the truth". But the issue has become wedded to the corrupting effects of politics and the dazzle of Pop culture. Big money flows to research. The money would stop if it was admitted, "We just can't get a complete answer at this time.". Careers would screech to a stop or be destroyed. Academia would be grossly embarrassed for misleading us. Politicians would be ruined. There has been too much ego and power and money involved in this issue to let it go.
But now the liberal powers may have overstepped and the massive pain they have cause may shut them down or at a minimum, cause many embarrassing questions to be asked. They will, per rote, deny responsibility, but the damage done may make the issue toxic. Maybe decades from now we will muse, "What ever happened to the climate crisis?".

The history of mankind is a continuing story of "elites"
believing they have been ordained by God to rule the world.
Pharaohs, caliphs, Alexanders, Khans, Rome, Paris, Berlin.
Each and every time the mindless murder of morons
think they are going to be different.
The people have to teach them they are not.
The ashes are always the same...

The globalists planned their tyranny via covid fear.
Turns out their intentional food shortage fear had more power.
Now who's afraid?

It toppled Boris Johnson, who ignored the reduction in the standard of living of the British. It will topple the leader of the Netherlands. Scott Morrison of Australia got his pink slip for a lot of reasons. We need to hand out a whole pad of pink slips.

All caused by the biggest hoax ever put upon society. These sick perverted cult worshippers are destroying countries while offering alternatives that don't work. The same clowns that predict rising ocean levels are building mansions on waterfront property. As we speak, Barack Hussein Obama, a complete scum hypocrite, is building a huge mansion on the oceanfront in Hawaii. For all you illiterate, brain dead democrats out there, let that sink in. While you and your family starve and your lives are destroyed, these hypocrites are laughing all the way to the bank......Get it yet dummies.....

That's what Green was supposed to do, and It worked in one small country. The Liberal World Order starts there.

In Sri Lanka the green policies have caused food shortages and economic havoc. People are starving but the government was indifferent because going green was good. In Europe, farmers are unable to farm due to green policies. On top of that, European energy policies have become so green they are causing shortages and skyrocketing prices. They are being forced to restart coal power plants together needs. Bottom line is green policies might be good, but to those pushing them its all or nothing and that is proving disastrous for everyone.

The chickens are coming home to roost for biden the cheater, Klaus, and his Great Reset ambitions. Making people go hungry is the best way to ensure revolt. Coming our way sooner than we think.

The people pushing the green know that it doesn't work. Only the brain dead little people have fallen for it to the extent of making it their religion. Mother Earth blah, blah, blah. It's always been about money and power and control. It's the biggest most destructive scam in history.

Next step for the new world order dudes is to send in the troops...but...the troops don't like the greenies...so that could be a problem...remember when the Soviet Union sent in the tanks on it's people and the tank drivers refused to move....same thing happening here....I think Washington DC should think twice before enacting anymore climate control measures....

Time to end Green Globalism, NATO Bureaucratism and dollar-enforced Western Hegemony before it impoverishes and starves most of the third world and reduces the rest to a generation to a falling standard of living. How insane, radical, stupid, ignorant, self-serving, deceitful people were able to take control of governments in the name of the planet and control the political narrative shows how easy people are manipulated to the point of working against themselves until it's too late, as it is now. If you ever wondered how the Third Reich got to power, you now know how easy it was. Unfortunately, much damage has been done. Trillions wasted, countries ripped apart, the end of the unipolar dream, tens of thousands of dead in unnecessary wars, potentially million starved and things only appear to be getting worse at a rapidly increase rate with the specter of nuclear weapons being bandied about. It gives me no great pleasure to state the West has failed, led by the mediocre, sponsored by the worst elements of humanity, driven by impossible, unobtainable and unrealistic policies to control the planet and everyone on it to their detriment. God save us all.

A person with only a double-digit IQ should be able to see the ridiculous argument of the leftists about AGW [fossil fuels causing a change in climate] is another hoax to destrox our freedoms and capitalistic way of life. Capitalism is the answer to eiminating the world's poverty. The advances all around the globe since capitalism has been iused by many governments is astounding. When stupid government workers interfere with the normal business by free citizens, chaos ensues.
Anyone can open his/her eyes and see that when a person works for himself, he will be more diligent and industroius than if he is working for a government. We have too many bureaucrats who are either teachers or lawyers. We need more business people. such as doctors, plumbers, contractors, dentists, electricians, retailers, etc. in our government. Take a look at Biden, for example. He is a lawyer who has only been employed as a representative or senator. Never in his life has he been an employer, had to make a budget and balance it, had to produce anything of importance. etc. He was always able to hide behing the cumulative votes of either the Congress or Senate. Essentially he has slid through life as a non-productive employee among the crowd, and relied only on his longevity.
