All those CO2 calculations are done by taking what nature can absorb (3Gteq), assuming we can emit that much and dividing by the population on Earth.
- (1) As if an African person could emit exactly as much as a UK person.
- (2) As if countries who chose to overpopulate were allowed strictly proportionately to their population.
Since emissions are tightly coupled with consumption, (1) means everyone on Earth should be able to consume the exact same quantity of goods and every country would have exactly the same richness. Which is communism in the purest sense. Which, when you know a few globalwarmists, is exactly in line with their aspirations. I mean they just wanted to impose communism but they came back under a new form.
(2) Since emission calculus are proportional to population, it incentives to overpopulate to be allowed more emissions. Which, you may say, is a side-effect incentive of this calculus and is at odds with global warming. They don’t see a problem with that. Everyone should be allowed to live, they say. Again in line with communist ideals.
I’ll add (3): Every time they ask me to consume 5% less electricity, they allow 5% more migrants in the territory, then they fight to allow them to consume as much as middle classes here. So this whole story of global warming is just about this:
Stuffing more people on a territory and making everyone only able to consume exactly the same. Which, if the managers of the top CEOs of positive energy startups were your classmates (I know a bunch of them) totally aligns with their worldview when they were students (sons of hippies born with a computer and, as you say, metrosexuals with former communist ideals, generally with anti-colonial stances). I’m flummoxed that their worldview is so trendy that they succeeded in life despite major ideological flaws in their reasoning, and one of my friends is even worth 60m€.
Global alarmism is just the new form of communism, just as toxic, just as idealistic.
