Germany and several other European countries have largely banned fracking. This decision has transformed European leaders into the equivalent of 16th-century naval explorers, praying for favorable winds and weather as energy prices rise and fall depending on cloud cover and wind conditions.
In those days of autumn… the UN climate conference, was setting up its grotesque spectacle: a kind of ecological Versailles. The rich, powerful and virtuous of the planet gathered in Glasgow to pontificate to the rest of the West about how much we are harming the planet with our way of life. They arrived in their private jets to complain about the plague of air industry emissions. UK Chief Science Advisor Patrick Vallance said that everyone should eat less meat and fly less. Then came the news that 400 private jets would fly to the UN conference….
The British royal family has flown so long over the past five years that they have reached the moon and back.
While the Germans pontificated about the climate, the Washington Post informed us about their hypocrisy: “Germany presents itself as a climate leader. But it is razing villages for coal mines. The Garzweiler coal mine has already engulfed more than a dozen villages. Churches and family homes have been razed, agricultural land has disappeared and cemeteries have been emptied”. The Lützerath mine alone is twice the size of Manhattan. That is why Germany has been labelled as the most polluting country in Europe.
Thus, the progressive American pundits until October dreamed of an alliance between the West, Russia and China against global warming. Now that the West has isolated Russia, the largest energy supplier in Europe, no one is talking “green” anymore.
Russia, it turns out, has reportedly been promoting, often through “dark money” via Bermuda – which does not require countries to be named — “green” campaigns against nuclear power to ensure dependence by the West on Russia’s fossil fuel.
A German organization, The Climate and Environmental Protection Foundation, which received more than 17 million euros from Gazprom has also been accused of being a Moscow-funded “puppet.” — the Times revealed.
The Foundation for Climate and Environmental Protection was established last month in Mecklenburg-Pomerania by Manuela Schwesig… an ally of former German Prime Minister Gerhard Schröder, president of Nord Stream II Russian gas pipeline. He is still serving on the boards of state-backed Russian energy companies.
“Russia, as part of their sophisticated information and disinformation operations, engaged actively with so-called nongovernmental organizations—environmental organizations working against shale gas—to maintain dependence on imported Russian gas”. — Former NATO secretary general Anders Fogh Rasmussen – Wall Street Journal, March 1, 2022
“We discovered that Gazprom financed environmental NGOs who acted as consultants to ministers to various governments, such as Belgium, which then supported the abandonment of nuclear power.” — Dominique Reynié, professor of political science at the Institut d’Etudes Politiques in Paris, in an interview with CNews.
China (now allied with Russia) is also funding Western environmentalists. – Unherd investigation, December 15, 2021
“With winter fast approaching, Europe finds itself in an energy crisis—and reliant on the tender mercies of Russian strongman Vladimir Putin. It’s a self-induced disaster years in the making”.
