La grande transition verte et les banques

Jan 25, 2022 Stuart P.M. Mackintosh

WASHINGTON – Les dirigeants de la planète se sont réunis l'automne dernier à Glasgow pour la COP26 (la Conférence de l'ONU sur le changement climatique). Peut-être naïvement, beaucoup d'entre nous avaient espéré que ce serait l'occasion de donner un grand coup d'accélérateur aux efforts de réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre. Il n'en a rien été. Les gouvernements ont fait quelques progrès sur les émissions de méthane, la déforestation et la transition vers les véhicules électriques. Mais d'autres mesures nécessaires - surtout des engagements et des plans nationaux beaucoup plus ambitieux - ont été reportées encore d'une année.

Nous ne pouvons pas nous permettre de perdre plus de temps. Si la tendance actuelle se poursuit, il nous reste 10 ans pour maîtriser les émissions de carbone, si ce n'est à atteindre des points de non-retour interdépendants et franchir avec fracas la limite de 1,5 °C de hausse des températures moyennes – limite jugée essentielle par les gouvernements et les scientifiques pour assurer un avenir vivable à nos enfants et petits-enfants.

Alors que faire ? En priorité, les régulateurs et les banques centrales devraient faire payer aux banques le prix réel de leurs actifs liés aux combustibles fossiles polluants, ce qui encouragerait de manière permanente à investir dans la transition écologique.

A review of Climate Crisis Economics ( 1st Edition)* By Stuart P. M. Mackintosh.
Dr. Macintoshis’s book is a risible screed of cliche and Teenaged emo angst pseudo-intellectualism. The seriousness of the academic rigor is amply illustrated with quotes from Greta(fig 1)( No Climate facts then?) and Attenborough. (Fig 2)
The pessimistic predestined Calvinist would be commissar gives Gem Bendell of Deep adaptation fame a serious run for his money in the inauthenticity of their “Clinton Thumb Sincerity”

The better Book to read if one wishes to explore these issues is The economic superorganism by Dr. Carey King. Macintosh’s effort can be viewed as an absurdist caricature along the lines of Ziniovievs The Yawning heights, read straight it’s just a Yawn I’m afraid.

Who is paying the higher cost of energy ? Africa and in particular sub-Sahara Africa needs massive upgrade of its energy infrastructure. It’s hydel-power potential is barely used. But the global activists won’t allow funding for dams - the dams which can create massive irrigation potential and clean cheap hydro power.
International finance won’t aid dams / won’t aid coal fired power plants but give loan only for solar and wind mills. These are expensive and need massive subsidies. The power is barely affordable by the poor who need it the most.
Boy Scout NGOs come out with pea brained solutions of using hole in the roof water bottles with sodium chemicals to generate poor quality lights.
Poor farmers and villagers need steady and regular supply, not the dilute form of instead unreliable solar energy. If you have not read about disastrous experiment at Dharnai - please read it here - https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/coal-trumps-solar-in-india/

Scientific American is no climate change denier.

These solar resources don’t have storage facility, wind mills can’t be put everywhere.
The environmental and bio-sphere damage caused by solar farms and wind mills is barely spoken about.

Activist driven hysteria is forcing a unidirectional thinking and putting energy poor countries at risk - a new imperialism or apartheid in name of Climate Change / Environment after the rich Europe has reaped benefit from exploiting the natural resources, it wants to deny the same benefits to rest of the world .

  Absolutely correct, effectively the "Boyscouts" espouse "The Wrong Kind of Green"
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Greta_Thunberg/Archive_1
  Greta Thunberg responded [1] to concerns of corporate capture of her message which has been expressed by the Wrong Kind of Green [2], an Indigenous peoples environmental group. [3] "We attempt to expose those who undermine the People’s Agreement. One role of the non-profit industrial complex is to undermine, marginalize and make irrelevant, the People’s Agreement. The reason being, to protect corporate interests by which they are funded. As well, the non-profit industrial complex protects the industrialized, capitalist economic system, responsible for the capitalist destruction of our shared environment. Those groups who continue to protect such interests must be considered complicit in crimes against humanity. RogerGLewis (talk) 19:16, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

  The purpose of the 4th Industrial revolution is to stymie the development of energy resources and to control Population and growth and instigate rapid population decline. Syria and the pipeline wars all point to severe rationing of energy and shortly food to frustrate prosperity. These policies replete with plausible deniability will continue to grow and increasingly eliminate the precariat in the developed world and continue to bar economic development in developing countries where there are many instances of
  " .Changing banks’ investment incentives in this way would have immediate and rapid effects on their strategies and portfolios." even with these mere threats of Punishing the Laggards a tremendous amount of damage has already been done.

It is quite apparent that these damaging energy policies are already; to a greater or lesser extent, Informally or officially, in place. These policies are causing fuel poverty and disrupting the availability of real energy resources in the "Main Street" or "Real Economy".
William Engdahl recently posed this interesting question "Why Do NATO States Commit Energy Hara Kiri ?", why indeed. https://journal-neo.org/2022/01/12/why-do-nato-states-commit-energy-hara-kiri/

"The key fact in the new development of plutocracy is that it will use its own blunder as an excuse for further crimes. Everywhere the very completeness of the impoverishment will be made a reason for the enslavement; though the men who impoverished were the same who enslaved. It is as if a highwayman not only took away a gentleman’s horse and all his money, but then handed him over to the police for tramping without visible means of subsistence. And the most monstrous feature in this enormous meanness may be noted in the plutocratic appeal to science, or, rather, to the pseudo-science that they call Eugenics."

‘Pandemic’ narrative over…false flag in Ukraine next?Gavin O’Reilly

https://off-guardian.org/2022/01/24/pandemic-narrative-over-false-flag-in-ukraine-next/

The driving motivation behind the accelerated rush to a Techno Fascist Feudalism has been occupying my mind for the years leading up to the Repo Spike in New York in September 2019.

In the Financialised economy and with the CBDC push tied to Digital Id’s, we see a symptom of the appearance of what the system is trying to preserve, namely itself and its Monopoly ingroup. The real Economy is put in the position of trying to make bricks without straw, a misallocation of resources, and the Credit tokens to acquire those resources.
The Dominant Resource tieing the Financial system’s real potentials to the Real potentials of the real economy is the Flow of Energy resources and Primary resources through the economy. It would seem that a Hard limit on available energy to sustain the present industrial output of the global economy has been hit, what seems inexplicable is the Priorities touted in narratives regarding Why our largest Energy Sources the Hydro Carbons, Gas, Oil and Coal, and the largest potential replacement for them Nuclear are being demonised? It is more properly described as being stood down, why? Climate Change, The Climate Crisis, The Plague of Humans. (1)

“The purpose of the 4th Industrial revolution is to stymie the development of energy resources and to control Population and growth and instigate rapid population decline”.
