Immoral to not fund fossil fuel projects, sez American Idiot

Canadian climate science denier Jordan Peterson’s new right-wing project launched this week with claims that carbon emissions have “declined” and that the climate crisis is a “secular religion”.

The three-day Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (ARC) conference in London featured speeches from UK Cabinet ministers Michael Gove and Kemi Badenoch, and culminated with a high-profile event at the 20,000-seat O2 arena headlined by Peterson.

He asserted that “renewables are not able to provide the reliable energy we need” and advocated gas and nuclear energy, claiming that fracking for shale gas had been “demonised” by climate activists.

Shellenberger went on to call climate change a “secular religion” adopted to replace belief in god and urged his audience to “love humanity, that is something our opponents in the Malthusian anti-human left are unable to do”.

...the fossil fuel industry will try anything to slow the transition, won't they?

And what's all this talk about “renewables are not able to provide the reliable energy we need” ????

We don't NEED 2/3's of the energy we use, most of it is just wasted with no necessary purpose.
