King Charles' climate doomsday clock is pure green insanity
[NYPOST] King Charles III
...even his friends say he is as thick as two short planks...
has launched a catastrophe countdown clock. It will tick until 2030, a year in which he predicts "serious consequences" if the world doesn’t effectively address "climate change."

Honestly, if you can’t trust the king, whom can you trust?

It’s always good to be reminded of predictions like this and whether any of them — even just one — has come true.

If not, why would we put our faith in them? One might as well consult a palm reader, a horoscope, or a fortune cookie to get similar results.

The International Energy Agency has released a new report that finds since 2020 governments around the world have spent $1.34 trillion investing in clean energy.

The result has been negligible to nothing in reducing global temperatures.

In 2022 global CO2 emissions hit their highest levels ever. Canadian forest fires are likely to increase carbon emissions, countering whatever progress has been made by the wind and solar energy industries.

The British doomsday clock is not original. During the Cold War, the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists had a similar clock which predicted how close they believed we were to nuclear self-destruction.

#1 Funny how we have survived so many gaia doomsday predictions. I'll put my investments in long term payoffs then.

#2 The Climate fanatics remind me of 2 nursery tales...

Chicken Little & The Boy Who Cried mixed together.

Seriously... when was the last time they were right?

#3 "Running out of crude oil in 15-20 years" said doomers in 1960.

#4 The world is divvied into people who just want to be left alone and people who just can't even stand the idea of that.

How can anyone read those two sentences one right after another and seriously advocate more of the same expensive green fantasies?

#6 Eventually OMG will get around to these scammers. The CO2 portion of this was the most egregious.
