Summary
Eco-fanatics live in a crazed world of denial about climate change. They can t be reasoned with, and they can't be stopped. They are a cult of Luddites, opposed to every development made to make life more comfortable for human beings.

I mean, modern environmentalists have become a cult of Luddites, opposed to every development
00:00:04.600
made to make life more comfortable for human beings. And they can't be reasoned with. They're
00:00:09.560
blinded by ideology and an anti-human outlook. They can't be dismissed either, as they're
00:00:14.580
occupying the halls of power in both the government and the corporate world. They're imposing their
00:00:18.740
crazed policies, and they are crazy, and citizens are suffering because of it. Their sights are
00:00:23.700
most commonly set on climate change, and it's a convenient boogeyman for their cause. They can,
00:00:28.640
they can and do blame everything on climate change. I mean, from racism to obesity to weather
00:00:32.880
events. I know that sounds exaggerated, but I invite you to look it up. They blame everything
00:00:36.780
on it. Climate change is a catch-all term, and when coupled with the word emergency, of course,
00:00:41.720
policymakers then feel justified in pushing the most extreme and harmful of policies.
00:00:46.240
One of Trudeau's top men is Stephen Gilbeau. Gilbeau is an extremist well-known for being
00:00:51.080
led away in handcuffs in his orange prison jumpsuit, as you can see in that picture there, while he
00:00:55.960
manically grins after he's performed yet another extreme and criminal action, ostensibly in the
00:01:01.160
fighting against climate change. Normally, such a record would halt a developing political career.
00:01:05.500
In Canada, it got him a senior cabinet position in the government. Gilbeau doesn't feel a ban on
00:01:11.120
climate, uh, plastic cutlery goes far enough. He wants all disposable cutlery to be gone, whether
00:01:15.840
compostable or not. Have no fear, though. He has a solution. He says we should eat with our hands.
00:01:20.680
You can't make this sort of thing up. The climate change cult completely ignores the benefits of
00:01:25.760
modern energy sources. Reliable, affordable energy is essential for the survival of the developed
00:01:31.680
world. Eco-fanatics live in a crazed world of denial and hold this romanticized visions of a
00:01:37.300
blissful past where humans lived in harmony with nature and had no impact upon it. They love to push
00:01:42.760
visions of First Nations people living that way, for example. Now let's get back to reality.
00:01:46.660
300 years ago, the average lifespan for an indigenous person in North America was under
00:01:51.740
30 years. There are typically nomadic foragers and hunters, and they were at the mercy of
00:01:56.760
nature. Famines were common, as were deaths from exposure to extreme elements and territorial
00:02:01.960
wars as starving tribes fought over limited resources. Now I'm not faulting these people
00:02:07.580
for the conditions they lived in. It was just part of every, you know, human culture that
00:02:10.820
came up. But I do want people to understand life before modern energy was no paradise for human
00:02:16.120
beings at all. I don't expect we're going to be driven back to the Neolithic levels of human
00:02:20.080
development, but we're having our advances reversed. An obsessive anti-oil and gas movement
00:02:25.240
has been shutting down production of affordable energy throughout the developed world. Europe's
00:02:29.440
in an energy crisis right now, and they're going to be suffering as winter is starting to
00:02:34.240
loom. And this can't all be blamed on Russia. Europe was facing an energy crisis well before
00:02:38.540
the first Russian soldier headed west into Ukraine. Germany was advising its citizens
00:02:43.600
to learn how to cook over a candle in 2021 due to the energy shortage then. The reason Germany
00:02:49.540
is in such dire straits is they brought in and bought into the environmental religion
00:02:54.060
in full. They spent hundreds of billions on supposed sustainable energy sources such as
00:02:59.720
wind and solar. They inexplicably shut down their nuclear generating capacity on the advice
00:03:04.480
of eco-cultists, then discovered they're as dependent on fossil fuels as ever. And now are totally
00:03:10.100
beholden to Russia for their energy sources while they scramble to try and reopen coal
00:03:14.540
plants. Germany was warned. The rest of Europe was warned. Your engineers and business people
00:03:19.540
have tried to tell them there wasn't a viable replacement for conventional energy sources.
00:03:23.340
It didn't matter. The climate cult ignored reason and went ahead with their self-destructive
00:03:27.940
policies. Despite the stark failure of Europe's green energy efforts, Canada is insistent on following
00:03:34.680
on the same path. I mean, while the world's begging for our oil and gas, we're shutting it in. While
00:03:40.440
Dutch farmers revolt in Sri Lanka's government fell due to environmentally driven fertilizer bans,
00:03:46.200
Trudeau wants to do the same thing here. Quislings in the corporate world are falling over themselves
00:03:51.480
trying to appease the green cult and it won't work. While auto manufacturers commit to ending
00:03:55.720
production of gas-powered vehicles, electrical vehicles are nowhere close to becoming a viable
00:04:00.440
alternative. While oil and gas companies impose ever harsher emission controls upon themselves,
00:04:05.400
the climate cult still demands that they be shut down. They're not going to win, guys. Meanwhile,
00:04:10.040
the cost of energy continues to climb and contribute to an increased cost of living for the entire world.
00:04:15.000
The Luddites and the climate cult are winning. They're dragging human advancement backwards and they
00:04:19.720
don't care about the human cost. Now, while I don't expect we're going to end up back in medieval times,
00:04:24.040
we're heading in that direction. The only question is how far we're going to let the climate cult,
00:04:28.360
and they're cultists, it's time to start labeling them for what they are. And how far are we going
00:04:32.680
to let them pull us back before we stand up for ourselves and say that's enough? We should learn
00:04:36.760
from the Sri Lankan citizens. Unfortunately, people are going to have to get colder and hungrier before
00:04:41.320
they realize what they really bought into with this green new world.
