I much rather think climate engineering is against the business interests of the woke… It’s way too cheap so they try to block it.
Cost estimates for it are 10% of worldwide aviation costs suffice to cool 2 degrees.
Now that’s cheap way for allowing us to exhaust CO2 and others at current rates.
We should start geo engineering as soon as possible. it’s the best solution for keeping global warming (I’m actually of the opinion it’s the city effect as main driver not CO2 but yeah the more people the more cities…)in check. If we use up all oil before we surely won’t have airplanes and rockets running on battery power so it will be too late .
Fire hazard: First shipping company bans electric cars on ferries
A Norwegian shipping company bans electric cars on its ferries. According to a risk analysis, the risk of fire from such vehicles is too great. An ocean liner had recently sunk because of it.
OSLO. The listed Norwegian shipping company Havila has banned electric, hybrid and hydrogen cars from its ferries. After a risk analysis, it was concluded that the risk to the safety of the shipping fleet was too great. If a car catches fire, the fire can no longer be extinguished.
The risks for ships from the transport of electric cars have been discussed since the “Felicity Ace” sank off the Azores last February. E-vehicles on board had caught fire. The fire could not be extinguished. Finally, the huge ship sank with thousands of electric cars and Porsche or Bentley vehicles.
From the recent WEF get together.
Brain machines that give you a prod if you don’t concentrate on your job. They do think we are like cattle.
My favourite part was the cartoon and the ‘shaking’ at the idea of being caught.
The successful candidate will be responsible for leadership of HM Treasury’s work on a potential digital pound – a UK central bank digital currency (CBDC). This work is important, complex and cross-cutting, and the leadership will involve extensive engagement across and beyond HM Treasury.
Digital innovation is changing the landscape for payments and money. The use of physical money is declining while new forms of private sector digital money are emerging. These changes offer exciting opportunities for UK businesses and consumers, but also present new challenges and risks. This has motivated countries around the world to explore digital versions of central bank money.
Today, the Bank of England issues only physical bank notes. A digital pound would be a new form of digital money for use by households and businesses issued directly by the Bank of England.
Treasury and the Bank of England are working together through the CBDC Taskforce to explore the case for a digital pound. Treasury and the Bank of England have committed to consult jointly on a potential digital pound, and the successful candidate will lead the Treasury team in the wake of the consultation’s issuance, including working with the Bank of England to consider consultation responses. The forward timeline for the work has been set out by Ministers and the Bank of England, and the successful candidate will be responsible for setting strategic direction within Treasury to deliver on that plan.
On Monck, “In one such piece that was published in The Globe and Mail, Monck declares that “a Russian propaganda campaign” is to blame for people’s negative perception of the WEF.”
He must have Red Dawn on high rotation
What next? “My milk has gone off! Bloody Russian propaganda!”
I love that “there is no evidence” line. It gets used a lot these days. It basically means “we haven’t bothered checking”.

LOL. If all else fails, blame the Russians. And call people ‘far-right’.
“After closely watching residents in Oxford, UK (who are testing this concept now) we are learning that their municipal governments are rapidly moving the goal-posts on the freedom to leave your 15 min city,” Verrier said.
“What was first advertised as the freedom to leave your area with your car up to 100 times per year has now changed to lesser amount set-points and without notice to residents. They are often subsequently fined when leaving their zone because they work in another zone.”
Well, goodness me. Whoever could have predicted that? So many things happening these days that just couldn’t have been foreseen at all by anybody.
I’m sure someone will be along shortly to explain how this is all completely normal and nothing to worry about at all.
All of the WEF plans sound completely innocuous, as long as you confine them to just handwaving. Lots of talk about reducing pollution, building communities, energy efficiency etc. A “15-minute city” with everything you need within walking distance sounds great. Who wouldn’t want that? But when you get down to the actual implementation, it becomes obvious that all they’re interested in is the 15-minute part and not the “everything you need” part. A bit like “you’ll own nothing and be happy”, which has now been simplified to the first three words.
If one were to steelman their position here, I suspect it would go something like this. Their intentions are genuine. They actually do dream of utopian cities where every family has a great school, nice shops, food markets, entertainment, all right there on the doorstep. It simply has not occurred to these nice, well-meaning people that there are big important reasons why things don’t naturally pan out that way, and forcing it to happen via tax-and-spend, or coercion, or both, doesn’t work in practice. And sitting at a desk colouring in a diagram of the city with your crayons doesn’t give you a sensible planning policy.
Isn’t this the path that’s been wearily trodden by the USSR, Cuba, and who knows how many other countries? Do we really have to have another round of “this time it will work”?
