Lol. We just transitioned off of coal over in my neck of the woods to drum roll LNG. Elected officials are strutting around like a gang of turkeys, all proud of the ‘progress’ they have made.

Y’know the meme about how men will do anything aside from going to therapy? It’s like that with green energy here.

There is a very strong narrative in Australia(pushed by the major gas providers) that LNG is a “transition” fuel. Their add do a great job of making it look as though they love renewables and they are happy to supply gas until renewables are possible.

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
