‘Experts Über Alles’: The Authoritarian ‘Rule By Experts’

Via The Daily Bell

Technocratic “experts” run the prison-planet yard now – not duly elected representatives of the people as one might expect in a representative republic. Democratic institutions are merely window dressing.

Whether the issue is COVID lockdowns or central banking monopolies pushing for central banking digital currencies to replace Bitcoin, it’s the same top-down, fascist decision-making dynamic.

The problem with the budding technocracy is that, under the auspices of a “democratic” process that theoretically requires public discourse and consensus, things are liable to get messy.

Even with intensive planning, there are too many variables — and too much public distrust in the lying “experts” divining The Science© as the new priest class — to fully control a planned civilizational collapse. If they’re held accountable for their actions, justifying their nonsensical policy shifts is impossible, even for the craftiest PR pro. Hence the need for constant vagueries like “The Science changed©” in the absence of convincing arguments.

                                        

Why not bypass the whole “democracy” charade, and limit the risk of the political and economic power consolidation process backfiring? And smooth out the process with an industrialized technocratic ethos instead?

That’s what the World Economic Forum is for– to “penetrate the cabinets” of Western states.

Here is WEF head Klaus Schwab bragging about commandeering governments across the Western world:

“What we are very proud of, is that we penetrate the global cabinets of countries with our WEF Young Global Leaders.”

 

The central function of the WEF is to facilitate the erection of a global technocracy – administered by “experts” — to render goals manageable that would otherwise be exceedingly unwieldy, if not impossible, to achieve in a free society.

‘Scientists must be free to communicate without politicians’ spin’

Via The Guardian:

“Today, researchers recognise it is not enough just to do great science – they must also communicate its implications… public trust in government would be enhanced if… government trusted the scientific community to act independently and responsibly. “

The intended effect is to disqualify laypeople, politician and non-politician alike – the 99.9% of the population that doesn’t have an advanced science degree – from challenging the assertions of the technocrats. The average person is barred from contributing to policy formation on the grounds that they don’t have the requisite technical knowledge.

What makes this power grab by The Science© so insidious is that they leverage the public’s rightful disdain for, and distrust of, existing government institutions as justification for a silent coup d’état.

The confidential Pfizer documents that the FDA have been forced to publish by court order reveal that 82% to 97% of women who were mistakenly exposed to the mRNA Covid-19 injection either suffered a miscarriage or suffered having to witness the death of their newborn child upon giving birth.

But Pfizer claimed – “There were no safety signals that emerged from the review of these cases of use in pregnancy”.


The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) attempted to delay the release of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine safety data for 75 years despite approving the injection after only 108 days of safety review on December 11th, 2020.

But in early January 2022, Federal Judge Mark Pittman ordered them to release 55,000 pages per month. They released 12,000 pages by the end of January.

Since then, PHMPT has posted all of the documents on their website. The latest drop happened on May 2nd 2022.

One of the documents contained in the data dump is ‘reissue_5.3.6 postmarketing experience.pdf’. Page 12 of the confidential document contains data on the use of the Pfizer Covid-19 injection in pregnancy and lactation.

Pfizer state in the document that by 28th February 2021 there were 270 known cases of exposure to the mRNA injection during pregnancy.

The increasing demand for electric cars risks causing a wave of fires on cargo ships as they are not designed to carry lithium batteries safely, a major insurer has warned.

Bigger vessels carrying as many as 8,000 vehicles at a time concentrate the risk of fire from lithium batteries which are generally safe, but can heat up and combust if faulty.

The warning comes two months after a car carrier caught fire and sank into the Atlantic, taking with it 4,000 Volkswagen vehicles including Porches and luxury Bentley vehicles.

Older ships are fitted with fire containment systems that were not designed to cope with chemical fires, a report on shipping losses by insurer Allianz cautions.

They are also often open plan allowing fires to spread quickly, while tight margins in the industry mean safety protocols can be rushed or forgotten, the report by the firm's industrial insurance wing Global Corporate & Specialty said.

The report said: “Lithium batteries are an emerging risk for both container ships and car carriers, which are transporting growing numbers of electric vehicles, given existing counter-measure systems may not respond effectively in the event of a blaze.”

The Felicity Ace caught fire in February, forcing the evacuation of its 22 crew to the nearby Azores islands. It was travelling from Emden in Germany to Davisville, Rhode Island before catching fire. Attempts to bring the blaze under control were in vain and it sank in March.

Britain and the US are forgetting that censorship is never the right answer to disinformation

The Times

Everyone knows about fake news, or the substitution of propaganda for information. Everyone also knows that there is much harmful material online which targets and preys upon vulnerable people.

There is, however, no general agreement on what constitutes such harm or fake information. So attempts to combat these developments are not only difficult but may end up doing even more harm than they aim to prevent.

In Britain, the Online Safety Bill going through parliament is designed to deal with bad stuff such as promotional terrorist videos, images of child abuse or sites encouraging suicide that online platforms have failed to curb. There are, however, concerns that the bill’s category of “material risk of significant harms” is subjective and open to abuse. Continue reading >>>

I've been asking everyone: Show me the all-cause mortality data proving the vaccines are safe. I finally got some data. It's from the UK government and it's devastating. REALLY devastating.
Mortality in Ukraine Over the Last 25 years: How Many Deaths Could Have  Been Avoided | VoxUkraine

Overview

New UK government data allows us to analyze the data in a way we couldn’t before. This new analysis shows clearly that the COVID vaccines kill more people than they save for all age groups. In other words, they shouldn’t be used by anyone. The younger you are, the less sense it makes.

Anyone can validate the data and methodology. The results make it clear that the COVID vaccines should be halted immediately.

If the vaccines really work, then why hasn’t any government anywhere in the world produced a proper risk-benefit analysis that shows the opposite result?

If the vaccines work, then why do all the lines in Figure 6 below show that Dose 1 and Dose 2 of the vaccines kill more people than they save?

Not a single public health authority in any country will have a conversation with us on the record to justify their vaccine recommendations by producing an all-cause risk benefit analysis similar to what I computed here. I wonder why?

What the data shows

Here’s the result of the analysis comparing unvaxxed vs. 2 doses given at least 6 months ago. I believe this analysis is conservative and the actual numbers are worse than this due to the seasonal variation of the all-cause mortality ...Continue reading >>>

Vladimir Putin ‘gearing up for a prolonged war and will not stop at Donbas’

from Daily Telegraph

Russian leader’s retreat from Kyiv was ‘temporary shift’ and he is likely counting on Western resolve weakening, warns US intelligence chief

Vladimir Putin is counting on a weakening of the West’s resolve as the cost of living crisis bites while he pursues a protracted war in Ukraine, Washington’s top spy chief warned.

Avril Haines, the US director of national intelligence, said that the Russian leader’s decision to retreat from Kyiv and focus on the eastern Donbas region was only a “temporary shift to regain the initiative” and he maintained broader territorial ambitions.

She said it was becoming a “war of attrition” with little “viable” hope of peace, and a Russian victory in Donbas may not end the war, with Putin determined to build a land bridge all the way to Transnistria, the pro-Russian enclave in Moldova.

Ms Haines, who oversees Joe Biden’s daily intelligence briefing, said that she expected Russia’s GDP to fall by 10 per cent, possibly more, over the course of the year.

However, she said there was an increasing likelihood that Putin would mobilise his entire country, potentially ordering martial law.

The top US intelligence official said: “Putin most likely judges that Russia has a greater ability, and willingness, to endure challenges than his adversaries, and he is probably counting on US and EU resolve to weaken as food shortages, inflation and energy prices get worse.

“We assess President Putin is preparing for a prolonged conflict in Ukraine during which he still intends to achieve goals beyond the Donbas.”Continue reading >>>

The UK government are pushing for new laws which will allow them to crack down on disruptive protests shortly after climate crazy activists caused fuel shortages in England.

Boris Johnson’s Conservative Party government appear to have militant climate crazies in their sights despite the state’s own overwhelming pro-green bias, as they push for new laws which would allow them to crack down on extremely disruptive protests.

The new bill, which would see many methods employed by hardline climate protesters outlawed, will also contain a number of measures which had been stripped from a previous policing bill by members of the House of Commons, likely to the chagrin of its architect, Home Secretary Priti Patel.

According to a report by broadcaster Sky News, the new bill is in direct response to climate protesters from groups such as “Extinction Rebellion” and “Just Stop Oil” which caused massive fuel shortages at English gas pumps by fastening themselves to essential infrastructure including oil refineries and tanker trucks with glue and other methods.

“The law-abiding, responsible majority have had enough of anti-social, disruptive protests carried out by a self-indulgent minority who seem to revel in causing mayhem and misery for the rest of us,” the outlet reports Patel as saying regarding the various new offences, which are set to carry up to a year in prison and fines with no upper cap.

“The Public Order Bill will give the police the powers they need to clamp down on this outrageous behaviour and ensure the British public can go about their lives without disruption,” she went on to say.

Bill Gates Now Says COVID Disease Of Elderly, Low Fatality Rate And Kind Of Like The Flu

from Great Game India

Recently, Bill Gates said COVID is kind of like the flu and called it the disease of elderly people with low fatality but eventually hedged.

Bill Gates Now Says COVID Disease Of Elderly, Low Fatality Rate And Kind Of Like The Flu 1

Bill Gates is not an immunologist and does not even appear as one on television.

However, through his philanthropic foundation, the billionaire co-founder of Microsoft has immersed himself in the study of the world’s issues and donated billions of dollars to combat the spread of malaria in Africa. People pay attention when he speaks, which makes what he said regarding COVID-19 last week intriguing.

“It wasn’t until early February, when I was in a meeting, that experts of the foundation, said ‘there’s no way’” that COVID-19 could have been contained, he said.

“At that point, we didn’t really understand the fatality rate. We didn’t understand that it’s a fairly low fatality rate, and that it’s a disease mainly of the elderly, kind of like the flu, although it’s a bit different than that,” Gates said. ... Continue reading >>>

As the war in Ukraine cripples western economies the global power balance slides further to the east

 authored by Quoth The Raven, Fringe Finance

Russia Is Returning To The Gold Standard And China Is Going To Be Next

The most profound seismic shift in the global monetary bedrock in decades is happening right before our eyes, and no one seems to notice or care. Eventually, they will have to. 

No sooner was it that I wrote an article talking about how Russia was going to back the ruble with gold than “one of the Russia’s most powerful security/intelligence officers and a close ally of Putin” has admitted the country’s intentions to do just that.

And I’m predicting that no sooner will the gravity of this decision finally sink in with the West that China will follow closely in Russia’s footsteps and do the same.

Russia backing its currency with gold represents one of the most drastic changes to the foreign currency market in decades. As of 2022, precisely zero countries still adhere to a gold standard, though many countries still hold gold in reserve.

Gold reserves of largest gold holding countries worldwide as of March 2022(in metric tons) / Statista

The new global monetary system is likely going to look like Russia, China, India, Saudi Arabia and other countries with commodity-backed, sound money on one side - and the west and our allies, with our “infinite” fiat, under the tutelage of rocket surgeon Neel Kashkari, on the other. 

Despite the enormity of the situation, the news hasn’t really been digested by global markets yet. The FX market has been relatively calm, but for the ruble strengthening, and gold prices have crashed so far this week, with front month futures falling nearly $50/oz. on Monday, back down to about $1,860/oz.

Today’s content is free, but if you enjoy it and have the means to support the blog, I’d be humbled by your subscription:


Aside from the FX market, the news also hasn’t been digested by US politicians or financial “thought leaders” yet.

However, there are underground rumblings starting to catch the ears of those who are actively listening. Ronan Manly wrote for BullionStar.com last week:

On Tuesday 26 April in an interview with newspaper Rossiyskaya Gazeta (RG), the Secretary of the Russian Federation’s Security Council, Nikolai Patrushev, said that Russian experts are working on a project to back the Russian ruble with gold and other commodities.

Manly was kind enough to translate the interview with RG, which stated Russia’s intentions to back the ruble with gold in crystal clear fashion:

RG Question: And what do we need to do to ensure the ruble’s sovereignty?

Nikolai Patrushev: “For any national financial system to be sovereignized, its means of payment must have intrinsic value and price stability, without being pegged to the dollar.

Now experts are working on a project proposed by the scientific community to create a two-circuit monetary and financial system.

In particular, it is proposed to determine the value of the ruble, which should be backed by both gold and a group of goods that are currency values, and to put the ruble exchange rate in line with the real purchasing power parity.”

Manly concludes, matter-of-factly:

So there you have it. The Russian Government is actively working on creating a gold and commodity backed Russian ruble with intrinsic value which is outside the orbit of the US dollar. 

…

What we are seeing now is Nikolai Patrushev and the Kremlin confirming this simple equation of linking the Russian ruble to gold and commodities. In other words, the beginning of a multilateral gold and commodity backed monetary system, i.e. Bretton Woods III.

The Triumph of Natual Immunity - We Told You So

Since early in 2020 this blog has been trying to expose the lies and and propaganda of the people behind the COVID pandemic scam and reporting the work of independent researchers whose finding consistently reported that COVID posed only a minor threat to people with healthy immune systems.

We, and others pursuing the same objective and unbiased line of enquiry were called conspiracy theorists. Wl  once again it turns out that the conspiracy theorists were right.

The Triumph of Natural Immunity


A new CDC study shows that around 75% of American children – and nearly 60% of adults – have already had covid. That means that they have strong natural immunity that protects them from covid infections as they get older. Despite this, the CDC, the FDA and other government agencies are pushing all of them to get vaccinated. 

Why?

One important role of public health agencies during a pandemic is to conduct seroprevalence studies to determine how many people have developed antibodies to the disease from having been infected. That way we understand how the disease has spread and how it varies geographically and among different age groups. Spain did such a large, randomized survey early during the pandemic while Sweden did a series of smaller randomized surveys at regular intervals. 

In the United States, this important task was left to individual scientists, but they only had resources to conduct small surveys in a limited area such as the Santa Clara County Study. The CDC has now finally got its act together with a national survey. The results are illuminating. 

In April 2020, the Santa Clara study showed that 3% of its population had been infected. In February 2022, the CDC study shows that at least 58% percent of Americans have had covid, as evidenced by their anti-nucleocapsid antibodies, which are produced due to infections but not the vaccines. The numbers vary by age.

What does this mean? We know that natural immunity after covid recovery provides excellent protection against future infections, and while covid will be with us for the rest of our lives, it will be something that our immune system will cope with in the way it is handling the other four widely circulating coronaviruses.

It means that we are now transitioning from the pandemic stage to the endemic stage, and we will eventually reach herd immunity, the end point of every pandemic no matter what strategy is used.

Given these numbers, why are the CDC, the FDA and the government pushing hard for all children to get vaccinated against covid? Why are some schools and universities mandating covid vaccines for children and young adults? The majority already have superior natural immunity. 

All of them are at minuscule risk from dying from covid even if they have not had it, a risk that is smaller than dying from any of a whole range of other causes such as motor vehicle accidents, drowning, homicide, suicide, drug overdoses or cancer. While anyone can get infected, there is more than a thousand-fold difference in covid mortality between older and younger people. 

To sell a drug or a vaccine, we require pharmaceutical companies to conduct a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to show that it works to prevent serious health outcomes or death. Pfizer and Moderna have not done that. For adults they only showed a reduction in symptomatic disease. 

To remedy this, a recent Danish study used the RCTs to evaluate all-cause mortality. For every 100 who die in the placebo group, there are 103 deaths among mRNA vaccinees, with a 95% confidence interval of 63 to 171. This contrasts with the adenovirus-vector vaccines (AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson), with 37 deaths among the vaccinees (95% CI: 19-70).

For children, we do not even have this. The randomized covid vaccine trials show that they can prevent mild disease in children without a prior covid infection, but from observational studies we know that this protection wanes rapidly. The RCTs also show that the vaccines generate antibodies in children, but 75% of American children already have superior antibodies from natural infection. ... Continue reading >>>

Vladimir Putin to undergo cancer treatment, handover power to Nikolai Patrushev: via Times of India

MOSCOW: Russian President Vladimir Putin might need to undergo cancer surgery while handing over power to the secretary of the country's security council Nikolai Patrushev media reports from Moscow have claimed.

Putin has been told by doctors that he must undergo an operation, Times of India reported, citing a Telegram channel run by a former Russian Intelligence Servive lieutenant general. The anticipated surgery and recovery are expected to incapacitate the Russian leader for a short time the report said. 

Referring to Putin's supposedly sickly appearance and uncharacteristically fidgetty behaviour in public in recent times the report said that the Russian President has been rumoured to suffer from cancer, Parkinson's disease and a host of other serious maladies. However a US State Department official said the reports could not be verified.

Bill Gates Developing Virus and Vaccine For Next Pandemic, Wants Global Surveillance Pact with W.H.O. to Track Vaccine Refusniks

We, The Resistance, need to start preparing our campaign tactics now for the appearance of “even more fatal” variants of coronavirus in the future. The warning can be taken as implicit in the latest megalomaniacal babblings from billionaire psychopath and wannabe Emperor of The Universe Bill Gates, who revealed in a talk on Sunday 1 May, that international health surveillance through technology and massive, propaganda led vaccination campaigns to be developed by increased funding for the World Health Organization (W.H.O.) is one way to forestall pandemic outbreaks.


 

The Microsoft founder said, somewhat ridiculously, he did not want to sound “doom and gloom” but did exactly that in warning there was a risk an “even more transmissive and even more fatal” variant could be generated. This could safely be taken as an admission that biotech firms owned by The Bill Gates Foundation are already simultaneously developing the virus that will drive this pandemic and the vaccines that will serve to make people with functioning immune systems vulnerable to the genetically engineered virus.

Gates told the Financial Times (FT) in an interview the risk of that happening is “way above five per cent” and would mean the world has yet to see the worst of the pandemic, if his predictions are correct (or even coherent would be a good start.).

He also cautioned that while the war in Ukraine dominates the international agenda, global leaders should not to lose sight of the health crisis, even as he flies around the world relentlessly lecturing about climate issues. Again this sounds like an announcement that his teams of mad scientists are already working on plans for the new pandemic.

Calling for greater investment to prevent future pandemics, Gates told the FT “It seems wild to me that we could fail to look at this tragedy and not, on behalf of the citizens of the world, make these investments.” 

He acknowledged there were questions over whether an international consensus could be reached to increase funding for W.H.O. at its base in Geneva, Switzerland. However, The most pertinent question, how can Gates be so certain another, even more deadly pandemic caused by a news COVID variant is on the way if he is not involved in planning it, was not raised.

France In Flames - Anti Macron Protests Across The Nation Only Days After He Was Re - elected

by Arthur Foxake, 1 May 2022

FRANCE erupted in an orgy of violence today as traditional May Day festivities turned into angry protests at the victory of incumbent president Emmanual Macron as more evidence emerged that the election was not free and fair.  Balaclava-clad protesters took to the streets of Paris and other major cities to mark May Day and vent their outrage at Emmanuel Macron's re-election, ahead of the legislative elections in June.

More than 250 anti-Macron rallies erupted across the country as thousands of people joined the annual May Day celebrations, turning them into protests against the deeply unpopular president who in his first term has consistently ignored the concerns of ordinary people in favour of pursuing the globalist agendas of the wealthy elites. Things quickly descended into chaos in Paris.

Around 5,000 police officers were deployed in the capital city alone to control the violent protest, which left shops ransacked and streets ablaze.  

Demonstrators light red flares as they take part in the annual May Day march in Paris, France, 01 May 2022. Labour Day, also known as International Workers' Day or May Day, is observed annually on 01 May worldwide to celebrate the economic and social achievements of workers as well as fight for laborers rights.

Many protesters demonstrated peacefully but police stepped in as black-clad members of the group known as "Black Bloc" attempted to put up a barricade to block the march.

Dozens of businesses were also damaged amid the protests including a McDonald's branch, banks, insurance companies and real estate agencies.

Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin called the violence at the rallies "unacceptable."

French unions and left-wing politicians have used the workers' day demonstrations to express displeasure with recently re-elected President Emmanuel Macron and rally support for the nation's upcoming parliamentary elections.

Macron, who defeated far-right opponent Marine Le Pen in France's presidential election last week, has faced criticism that he is out of touch with France's working-class on issues such as the rising cost of living.

Opposing politicians looked to the rallies Sunday to prevent Macron's centrist La Republique En Marche party from winning a majority during the two-round parliamentary elections on June 12 and June 19.

"Without MPs to support him, Emmanuel Macron will be powerless to apply his harmful project for France and his unfair choices for the French," Le Pen said in a video to supporters Sunday. 

The May Day protests also come as left-wing parties in France aim to strike an agreement ahead of the June legislative elections following the defeat of leftist candidates in the first round of the election. Labour unions and student organisations led protests against newly re-elected President Emmanuel Macron with demands for higher wages, support for public services and more climate-friendly policies.

In Paris, leftist Jean-Luc Mélenchon called for an agreement between left-wing parties tonight.

The CGT labour union claimed that 50,000 protesters were present in the capital city. Thousands also protested in other large cities across France such as Marseille, Bordeaux, Toulouse, Lyon and Strasbourg, according to police. 


Clashes broke out between young people dressed in black and Paris' police with many shop windows destroyed and fires breaking out.

Demonstrators broke bank windows and wrote anticapitalist messages on a McDonald's and police fired tear gas.

Interior minister Gérald Darmanin said that "thugs" were committing "unacceptable violence" and expressed his "full support for police".

The Propaganda Of The War Cult Is Lying About What Is Happening In Ukraine

1 May 2022

In reporting and commenting on the conflict in Ukraine we Boggart Bloggers have tried to look deeper into the situation than mainstream media propaganda mouthpieces which have simply passed on the Russophobic misinformation and fake news contained in the official naratives. Russia bug bad bully, brave little Ukraine resisting being pushed around the stories go but it is not quite that simple, things never are.

 Eva Bartlett in a name that has featured in these pages before. In 2016 we brought you summaries, snippets of, and links to the Canadian independent journalists reports from within Syria's war zone revealed how western governments and their media mouthpieces were using fake news, misinformation and downright lies to whip up support for their sponsored and stage managed proxy war in this middle east which was intended (but failed,) to bring down the Assad regime.

Now Eva Bartlett is in the Donbas region of Ukraine, sending back reports on how the one - sided reporting of the war in that unfortunate country give the impression that the atrocities andwar crimes are all being committed by Russian troops. Bartlett's reports show that similar atrocities are being committed by Ukrainian troops against members of Russian speaking minorities in eastern Ukraine and that military and paramilitary forces under the control on the neo - Nazi paskudnyaks in Kiev are carrying out false flag attacks on Ukrainian citizens in order to fabricate stories that will fuel propaganda aimed at persuading citizens of the liberal democracies to accept direct military intervention in the conflict by the NATO powers, this triggering a global, nuclear conflict.

Ukrainian strike on Donetsk market was a false flag terrorist attack

by Eva Bartlett for Internationalist 360

If the Donetsk marketplace that was hit by rocket artillery on Thursday had been in a city controlled by Kiev, the names and faces of the five civilians killed would be on all major news sites. But because it was another Ukrainian attack on civilians in the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), the deaths and 23 additional civilians injured will almost certainly go unreported, as has the been the norm during the regime’s eight years of the Donbass and Western media’s eight years of ignoring the attacks.

According to the DPR's Healthcare Ministry, “The strike at the Tekstilschik neighbourhood in the Kirovsky district killed four people on the spot. One patient died in an ambulance during the transportation.”

With another journalist, I went in a taxi to the bombed markets. Two of the dead still lay at the site when we arrived, splayed on the ground. The other bodies had already been removed, but traces of their blood remained on the ground, doors nearby were riddled with shrapnel holes and debris from the strike was all around.

RT

Presumably, rescue workers dealt with the injured first and didn’t prioritize retrieving all the dead as further Ukrainian strikes were possible. I saw this during my experience in Gaza, where Israeli's waited for people to come to the scene of their attack, then bombed again.

According to Gennady Andreevich, a local employee of the district's safety commission, at 11:40 am Grad missiles struck two different nearby markets: the vegetable and clothing market where the bodies lay, and a household chemicals and building materials market across and down the street. The latter was far more damaged, stalls completely burnt out, but no one was killed there. 

Gennady walked with us to the vegetable market, speaking about previous Ukrainian attacks–which have been happening since 2014. More recent shellings hit near a gas station outside the market, at a residential building beyond the market, and in his own market administrative building, killing two colleagues.

He noted that at this time of day the market would have been filled with people, and that Ukraine knows very well what it is firing at.

“They know there is a market here and that from 10am to 1pm there are many people here,” Gennady said as we walked past shops.

This is a completely civilian area, no military installations.

Climate - Green Madness: How Far Are We From Phasing Out Coal?

A Long Long Way.

At Glasgow's COP26 conference last year, the leaders of 40 nations  went though the meaningless biannual ritual of agreeing to phase coal out of their national energy policies in order to achieve the pointless and economically catastrophic for developed nations ambition of reaching 'net zero' on carbon emissions by the end of this century.

However, as Visual Capitalist's Bruno Venditti details below, despite all the grandiose pledges, in 2021 coal-fired electricity generation reached all-time highs globally, showing that eliminating coal from the energy mix is easily said but cannot be done simply by moving coal burning industries from the developed nations to emerging and third world economies.

The infographic below, from Elements Visual Capitalists shows the aggressive phase-out of coal power that would be required in order to reach net zero goals by 2050, based on an analysis by Ember that uses data provided by the International Energy Agency (IEA).

Low-Cost Energy Carries a High Environmental Cost

Coal-powered electricity production increased by 9.0% in 2021 to 10,042 Terawatt-hours (TWh), the biggest percentage rise since 1985.

The main reason for this reserugence of dear reliable Old King Coal is cost. Coal is the world’s most affordable energy fuel due to the energy intensity of this highly compressed form of carbon. Environmentalist doom mongers and the unwashed crusties  of the anti fossil fuel movement claim that low-cost energy comes at a high cost for the environment, with coal being the largest source of energy-related CO2 emissions. This is unscientific bollocks. In the past coal was a cheap, dirty fuel that pumped many real pollutants as well as Carbon Dioxide (CO2) which is essential to the continuance of life, into the atmosphere.Throughout the 1970s and 80s however, coal powered industried cleaned up their act, introducing technologies to remove various pollutants from their emissions until only CO2, the essential building material for all carbon based life forms (and ALL life forms, on this planet at least, are carbon based,) remained for the habitual whingers and virtue signallers to whinge and virtue signal about.

China currently has the highest coal consumption, making up 54% of the world’s coal electricity generation. The country’s consumption jumped 12% between 2010 and 2020, despite coal making up a lower percentage of the country’s energy mix in relative terms and the ruling Chinese Communist Party has no plans to cease or slow down its building onf new coal fired power stations.

Together, China and India account for 66% of global coal consumption and emit about 35% of the world’s greenhouse gasses (GHG). If you add the United States to the mix, this goes up to 72% of coal consumption and 49% of GHGs.

According to the United Nations, emissions from current and planned fossil energy infrastructure are already more than twice the amount that would push the planet over 1.5°C of global heating, a level that scientists say could bring more intense heat, fire, storms, flooding, and drought than the present 1.2°C. This is calculated by scientists who, in the style of all modern science, look at output from mathematical models rather than empirical evidence. So far three decades worth of predictions based on mathematical models of reality have not produced one correct result.

The Transition to Renewables

According to The Science (that is the science of guesswork and wishful thinking,) Coal-powered electricity generation must fall by 13% every year until 2030 to achieve the Paris Agreement’s goals of keeping global heating to only 1.5 degrees.

To reach the mark, countries would need to speed up the shift from their current carbon-intensive pathways to unreliable and intermittent energy sources like wind and solar.

How fast the transition away from coal will be achieved depends on a complicated balance between carbon emissions cuts and maintaining economic growth, the latter of which is still largely dependent on coal power. It is possible of course that as a result of the energy crisis triggered by the war in Ukraine revealing just how dependent of fossil fuels the developed nations are, the politicians will come to their senses, sack their idiotic science advisers and fund development of clean coal powered generation technologies as well as returning to totally CO2 free, (but equally hated by the green wankers,) nuclear.

A Mostly Wind- & Solar-Powered US Economy Is A Dangerous Fantasy

 

Authored by Francis Menton via The Gatestone Institute,

  • When President Biden and other advocates of wind and solar generation speak, they appear to believe that the challenge posed is just a matter of currently having too much fossil fuel generation and not enough wind and solar; and therefore, accomplishing the transition to "net zero" will be a simple matter of building sufficient wind and solar facilities and having those facilities replace the current ones that use the fossil fuels.

  • They are completely wrong about that.

  • The proposed transition to "net zero" via wind and solar power is not only not easy, but is a total fantasy. It likely cannot occur at all without dramatically undermining our economy, lifestyle and security, and it certainly cannot occur at anything remotely approaching reasonable cost. At some point, the ongoing forced transition... will crash and burn.

  • [I]t doesn't matter whether you build a million wind turbines and solar panels, or a billion, or a trillion. On a calm night, they will still produce nothing, and will require full back-up from some other source.

  • If you propose a predominantly wind/solar electricity system, where fossil fuel back-up is banned, you must, repeat must, address the question of energy storage. Without fossil fuel back-up, and with nuclear and hydro constrained, storage is the only remaining option. How much will be needed? How much will it cost? How long will the energy need to remain in storage before it is used?

  • There should be highly-detailed engineering studies of how the transition can be accomplished.... But the opposite is the case. At the current time, the government is paying little to no significant attention to the energy storage problem. There is no detailed engineering plan of how to accomplish the transition. There are no detailed government-supported studies of how much storage will be needed, or of what technology can accomplish the job, or of cost.

  • It gets worse:.... Ken Gregory calculated the cost of such a system as well over $100 trillion, before even getting to the question of whether battery technology exists that can store such amounts of energy for months on end and then discharge the energy over additional months. And even at that enormous cost, that calculation only applied to current levels of electricity consumption.... For purposes of comparison, the entire U.S. GDP is currently around $22 trillion per year.

  • In other words: we have a hundred-trillion-or-so dollar effort that under presidential directive must be fully up and running by 2035, with everybody's light and heat and everything else dependent on success, and not only don't we have any feasibility study or demonstration project, but we haven't started the basic research yet, and the building where the basic research is to be conducted won't be ready until 2025.

  • Meanwhile the country heads down a government-directed and coerced path of massively building wind turbines and solar panels, while forcing the closure of fully-functioning power plants burning coal, oil and natural gas. It is only a question of time before somewhere the system ceases to work.... [I]t is easy to see how the consequences could be dire. Will millions be left without heat in the dead of winter, in which case many will likely die? Will a fully-electrified transportation system get knocked out, stranding millions without ability to get to work? Will our military capabilities get disabled and enable some sort of attack?

  • No sane, let alone competent, government would ever be headed down this path.
