>Weird that didn’t turn out. Decades of a green energy policy being developed by what are, apparently, human-shaped ostriches have led us to being partially dependent on an autocratic regime. Other things such as pipeline (US) and fracking (UK) projects being shutdown by a bizzaro left-green lobby mean a real difficulty in substituting the energy input that our entire economy runs on. Bizzaro because the left desperately wants to redistribute the very thing it's attempting to shut down, as they probably haven't considered that energy underpins all the wealth we have. And the greenies - who are nearly universally left wing also - probably will shout loudly when people are shivering in their homes and not getting enough to eat. And never blame themselves. But the real blame for this lies at the feet of politicans, blue and red, who have allowed these loud eejits to dictate energy policy: shutting down nuclear plants, subsidising intermittent energy without (the necessary and) even more significant investments in energy storage. Using green credentailism as a vote winner and nothing more.

Uh, this seems incoherent. You're calling the group that's calling for avoiding the worst consequences of climate change "ostriches". Aren't the ostriches the people who advocate keeping current emissions trajectories while ignoring the consequences that'll have on the lives of billions of people?

  The _politicians_ are the ostriches. The group calling for "avoiding the worst consequences of climate change" are, through ignorance, calling for war and mass starvation.

    The politicians who want to avoid the worst consequence of climate change are ostriches, and the politicians who advocate in favor of worsening climate change are the non-ostriches? We know that climate change is threatening to make massive areas of land uninhabitable, change weather patterns in ways which will massively increase water scarcity in large parts of the world, cause droughts which will be devastating for food production, put coastal regions under water, etc. don't you think that these effects would cause war and mass starvation?
