?The major reason western governments push the C02 scam, is because we are at peak oil&gas. The remaining oil and gas requires way more energy to extract, making it less economical (ie shale oil).
Also most of the oil&gas reserves are controlled by Russia, Venezuela, Iran, Libya Iraq, Saudi Arabia.
The climate change agenda is to push renewable investment. However, they are finding the return on energy investment is also bad.
Germany was the major driver of renewables, but they have realised its not the answer. Hence the construction of Nord stream 2, which will put them under Russian influence.
I work in the energy business and realized this years ago.
I’m convinced we are headed into an era of relative energy poverty. Some high-standard-of-living but energy-resource poor areas of the world are going to have an increasingly tough time. Western Europe and East Asia come to mind.
