False Progress

"Green Growth" and a diversionary shift toward Social Justice have hijacked honest environmentalism. Human nature is destroying nature itself.

[False Progress @FalseProgress]

@Reganland @BBCScotlandNews People who fall for wind power panaceas don't get their true SCALE (and oil-dependence) or just don't care about natural aesthetics.

Eco-woke media and the industry omit context to make them seem far smaller and quainter than bleak reality. #EnergySprawl

@JRampias @nytimes That's a false comparison of oil sands vs. lithium mine acreage. And get over the idea that only "liberals" worry about global warming.

A finite planet can't supply physical resources in perpetuity just because overpopulated people demand it.

@nytimes It's actually better to trash relatively small areas than spread the damage all over the place.

In related context, that's what's happening with industrial wind power vs. much denser energy sources like nuclear. If you're going to wreck nature, limit the blight to compact zones.

[False Progress @FalseProgress]

@martinrev21 This applies to deluded "green growth" pushers as much as anyone, e.g. smug excuses for wind energy sprawl.

They fail to understand the SCALE of replacing oil, and mainly want to be against fossil fuels in a tribal way vs. really thinking it through.

@AntifaCheck161 This implies that some of your anti-police, pro-thug, city-wrecking nonsense is legitimate, which anyone seeking a decent life knows is a childish lie.

Race/gender Marxism is just as futile as the original, which starved millions of people to death. You can't fine-tune idiocy.

[False Progress @FalseProgress]

@VanLathan No, he's just telling an inconvenient truth for modern race-hustlers who refuse to accept historical context that debunks their anti-police victimhood narrative. This was excellent work by Maher's part, backed up by plenty of evidence, like "slave" being derived from "slavic."

[False Progress @FalseProgress]

@chefcarney No, you just can't handle the true historical context of slavery, since it erodes the endless victimhood angle, and doesn't excuse black crime (the real modern problem, not police).

[False Progress @FalseProgress]

@DyerLsdyer Don't fear naming the most trigger-happy (with human targets) race in America if you want any real progress on this.

It's insane that these same people spawn months of riots when the police harm their precious lives, i.e. dishing back what they routinely dish out.

[False Progress @FalseProgress]

@ConorBronsdon @DenifLewesa Industrial wind power is massive urban sprawl, spread out over the countryside and oceans.

Supporting Big Wind contradicts the denser development arguments in this article, and most people would rather avoid denser, noisy cities. ZPG is vital.

@fanofskippy Same old fantasies about more density (more crime and noise) rather than more birth control.

And he mentions "clean energy" which is the biggest form of industrial sprawl ever invented.

[False Progress @FalseProgress]

@FrackingTexas Fracking, wind turbines (which depend on natural gas), or any form of manic growthism is the real problem.

This article also treats population growth as inevitable, with the old canard about reducing sprawl with dense development that worsens problems like noise and crime.

[False Progress @FalseProgress]

@nils_gilman @amcafee "Degrowthers want... to walk away from higher prosperity...."

There's no modern prosperity growth w/o more ENERGY, and short of nuclear fusion, which only covers the electricity sector, attempts to replace fossil fuels with "renewables" sprawl are wrecking Earth's open spaces.

[False Progress @FalseProgress]

@amcafee "There's enough wind to supply 100x our power needs..."

That's pure fantasy. Fossil fuels build, maintain & back up Big Wind, and turbines inflict highly visible blight and noise on nature, plus bird, bat & insect kills.

Green-growthers are not environmentalists. #EnergySprawl

[False Progress @FalseProgress]

@kevin2kelly @amcafee @WIRED Quote from article, with typical wind turbine icon:

"Despite still growing over the last 50 years, we already figured out how to reduce our impact on Earth. So let's do that."

Author ignores that Big Wind is the opposite of reducing the human footprint! https://t.co/TUeuTuHQma

[False Progress @FalseProgress]

@nils_gilman @amcafee Industrial wind turbines, like the misleading lone tower shown in the article, are the opposite of dematerialization. They're the biggest physical intrusions on nature ever invented! The mental blindness required to view their SCALE as "green" is unreal.

https://t.co/PcQSG3kOIA

[False Progress @FalseProgress]

@amcafee @WIRED You claim we're already reducing the human footprint, yet show a completely misleading example of a lone industrial wind turbine. Actual plans (Jacobson) call for up to 3.8 MILLION of these eyesores!

This is what "green growth" hypocrisy actually looks like:

[False Progress @FalseProgress]

@WeiZhangAtmos @ECOWARRIORSS Your claim of no warming is the same theme of your other tweets, i.e. that CO2 can change its physics-bound behavior because the human economy is the center of everything.

Seeking objectivity from climate-deniers is like asking leftists to admit that black crime is a problem.

[False Progress @FalseProgress]

@catalinagaitan_ Portland was/is being ravaged by leftists who think criminals are superior to police and POC are saints, even if they shoot people in front of cops (Kimmons).

Complaints about the "far right" are akin to worrying about a few chirping crickets while cities get overrun by roaches.

[False Progress @FalseProgress]

@OregonianPol Why must the "far right" angle be amplified so far out of proportion to reality? They aren't causing widespread livability problems, like ruining downtown Portland, weakening police and raising crime rates in the name of helping "oppressed" criminals.

[False Progress @FalseProgress]

@CFLoridaMan122 @AaronParnas @GovRonDeSantis Interesting jobs observation, but I'm coming from an ecological angle.

Growth momentum with a base 8 billion population is only propped up by finite fossil fuels. A rude awakening comes when shale fracking peaks and "renewables" crash for lack of construction & backup fuel.
