Bill Bonner on Greta Thunberg and the climate change agenda

Which brings us back to Saint Greta, the climate change activist, subject of yesterday’s Diary. 

She wants action.  Not “blah, blah.”  She’s angry… frustrated. 

And the kind of action she wants is Big Time public policy action. 

That is, she is not satisfied with reducing her own carbon footprint and persuading others to do the same.  She wants to force other people to do things they don’t want to do – on a scale not seen since World War II. 

As America’s special presidential envoy to the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26), John Kerry, put it last week, the price tag will be trillions, not billions. 

[...]

Saint Greta proposes more aggressive government action.  But on this rudimentary evidence, the human race might be better off limiting public policies, rather than limiting the use of fossil fuel.
