Peak Oil, Electric Cars and the Coming Ice Age

But first, the federal election:

Globe&Mail: Saying climate change is real could be seen as partisan activity during election campaign, Elections Canada warns

• Gray said tax law requires charities to be non-partisan and registering to be able to comment during an election could lead to critics' accusing environment charities of being partisan.
• [Michelle Stirling, communications manager for Friends of Science] pointed to a campaign by the David Suzuki Foundation calling for school children to participate in a global climate strike on Sept. 27.
• Suzuki Foundation CEO Stephen Cornish said the climate strikes are an international movement based on scientific evidence.
• "Friends of Science trying to argue that science shouldn't be part of the debate seems more intent to stifle free speech or to hinder the work of charities than to seriously advance the debate in this country," he said.
• "I think we're on very solid ground in discussing climate change. Climate change cannot be a partisan issue. It is a scientific fact."

That coming from a foundation whose creator, David Suzuki, never refuted the "scientific fact" in the 70's that there was a coming ice age. The word "charities" seems designed to suggest depriving the poor, but we're talking about a wealthy "foundation" here, the beneficiaries of which are "scientists" out to instil fear in children over "climate change" and then to exploit that fear for political purposes.

Not to mention that September 27 is a school day.  If Greta and her followers didn't always get a Friday off school for protests, I wonder how many of them would give up their weekend for it.

Rebel Media is offering a "free" book lambasting Suzuki for all kinds of things, calling him:

• a vain, abusive multi-millionaire whose private life contradicts every public scolding he's ever given to "the little people".

Rebel media being Conservative, one has to deduce that it's too late to worry about partisanship. By the way, you have to fully identify yourself to Rebel in order to download the book. I don't want it that badly.

It's not as if Suzuki hasn't always exploited youth for his career purposes. One of his own children followed closely in his footsteps, earnestly alarming other children everywhere. Here she is [YouTube] at the age of 12, a forerunner of Greta, like John the Baptist to Jesus Christ.

And here's Suzuki himself [YouTube] telling young people we're all just maggots. But he was in a good (weed) mood then.

The past is never the past; it really is prologue.

PEAK OIL BEING PREDICTED - AGAIN

Back in the 2000's, "peak oil" was the big issue.  Soon, there would be no oil left in the depths of the earth.  Naturally (unnaturally?) prices soared, working very well for the money markets. Scarcity is where it's at in the money markets.

Consequently, we were told very little by the media about the actual mechanism behind the peak oil freak-out, nor why it was gradually, eventually, no longer mentioned. But It's been quietly waiting in the wings, ready for its next onstage call in the midst of media uproar over "climate change". 

From Forbes: Whatever Happened to Peak Oil?

• You would think that this would make people more skeptical about claims that geological scarcity was responsible when the shutdown of Venezuelan production and the second Gulf War cut off Iraqi supplies sent prices higher starting in 2003.

A new peak oil prediction won't mean the end of oil anymore than the old one did. It means that international oil prices will plummet because the demand will be lowered artificially (and forcibly) by the creation of alternatives to the general use of oil - even if it involves the West sanctioning and/or attacking other oil countries that don't cooperate on price and distribution.

There is always enough oil to fuel war planes, ships, submarines, tanks, etc., but not enough to support peaceful human activities.

During the first "peak oil" scare "climate change" was not an issue. But, because problem/solution works well for the money markets, a new problem was created in order to artificially raise prices, cause panic, and then produce the solution to the manufactured problem. The solution to the "problem" is where the real money is made.

GreenTechMedia - March 18, 2016: What Happened to Peak Oil?

• ... we will see peak oil relatively soon. But it won’t be driven by geological or political limits on the supply side. Instead, it will be driven by an increasing array of options for reducing petroleum consumption -- lead by an ever-increasing array of electric vehicles.

Investopedia - Mar 26, 2018: Peak Oil Predictions

• There have been many predictions about whether and when the world’s oil production would peak. In 1962, Hubbert predicted that global oil production would peak near the year 2000 at a rate of 12.5 billion barrels per year. He later forecasted that the world would hit peak oil if the current trends in 1974 continued. Both his theories proved incorrect. But there are some analysts and industry officials that believe we would see peak oil between 2015 and 2030.

Incorrect theories, my Aunt Fanny. Monetarily useful is more like it. And now the date has been adjusted to -- oh, would you look at that -- the very time period in which Greta Thunberg says the world is going to end because of "climate change". But apparently it will end only for the lower/middle classes (lucky for Greta, her whole family is becoming uber-wealthy due to "the problem" - just as did the Suzuki family).
:

• ... the ripple effect could continue to transportation and even the food industry, which could see increases in prices. In a worst-case scenario, large areas of the world could experience famine because of higher food prices.

Strange use of the word "famine", since its definition is "shortage of food supply", not excess of food prices.

As to the scripture verse: "And a child shall lead them", that's another false image of the Greta phenomenon. The Bible was talking about a lack of fear, not incitement to fear, and the biblical child was peacefully leading both wild and tame animals, not adult humans. Greta hardly fits the profile when she proclaims "I want you to panic" [YouTube].

The scriptures were talking about an end to conflict among nations. When are we going to see privileged children being encouraged to rise up against war? Ending wars would certainly save on fuel and cut down considerably on pollution of the atmosphere. Not to mention the unimaginable panic of bombs exploding, disrupting the sleep and the very lives of somebody else's children!
