    So where do you get your climate conspiracy crap from? Globalist conspirators, their useful idiots, and compromised "experts"?

    A favorite quote from Prince Talleyrand: "Do not ascribe to malice what can be explained by stupidity."

    Those who condemn fossil fuels for so-called socialized costs routinely overlook the absolutely huge benefits and increase in the global standard of living resulting from the energy dense fossil fuels.

    Indeed, if not for fossil fuels, the world would have been completely deforested decades ago to supply heating and cooking fuel for the increased population, which would therefore already have crashed to pre-industrial levels. If you are against fossil fuels, you are against the industrial infrastructure that supports modern civilization and the current human population. So which populations do you propose to exterminate?
