Damn Mike, that was very impressive. Afterwards I read the UN report. There's something I find very ironic and that's the outsize carbon footprint of the activists in their private jets.

I think of all the military aircraft flying around the world, also exhaust from tanks, self propelled howitzers and all the other hardware.

Hell! I now feel guilty driving, BBQing and lighting a campfire. We have a solution to the coal and gas fired power plants which is nuclear power.

Maybe the real solution is going back to the pre industrial days of horses and wagons. Mules plowing the fields are something I've seen during my youth. Of course life expectancy would be greatly reduced. Maybe this is the real plan of the WEF.

That moment he opened the door was a SHEW moment for me. As good as any horror movie jump scare, an adrenaline rush and my breathing stopping. Very cinematic.

5 minute cities instead of 15 minute cities - bwah ha ha. It dismays me that one side of the climate debate calls the other sides fools without realising they are too. Whenever there's a great social divide, that begins in the USA, I'm suspicious of both sides being manipulated for profit and power. No major problem has a chance at clarity and then fixing until the political rot is sorted. Politicians are our existential crisis.

Great comeback Mike. I can't agree more with your assessment of both sides of the argument. I can't agree more with your comment about the politicians who serve and are owned by our actual Oligarch Rulers.

I don't know if you read Caitlin Johnstone a blogger from Australia. I know you would love her!

Furthermore, I'm going to make arrangements to become a paying subscriber. You deserve my support.

I've included Caitlin links in about half a dozen SitRep lists, and featured a quote from her in one of them.

Substack not free in that it uses Stripe and isn't accepted in my country. Which is a bitch since I've got zero income. But I appreciate the vote of confidence. You could always sign up in case you get a notification in the future, saying you can now keep Mike alive with malty beer :)

Oh yeah, the scene when he wakes and looks out the door had a similar effect on me! It was totally awesome. The scene after the haulout was very sad.
