There should never have been an ideologically driven campaign to dismantle coal, oil and gas.

This was a colossal policy failure. The UN dived headfirst into the global warming agenda for political reasons, transforming natural climate variability into an ideological stampede that demonised fossil fuels — without proven, affordable, practical alternatives ready.

No organisation on Earth is less suited to lead environmental policy than the UN. The result has been costly and counterproductive.

China’s coal boom proves the point: 94 GW under construction in 2024 alone, with more approvals flowing. They pair it with renewables, but coal remains the reliable backbone keeping industrial costs low. Globally, coal, oil and gas still supply around 81% of primary energy; wind and solar just 3-6%.

Nuclear is the logical pivot. The best path was always a steady transition to nuclear — large plants for big load centres, Small Modular Reactors for regional and industrial clusters. They are factory-built, carry passive safety and have shorter timelines.

Progress is building. The US is funding first-of-a-kind SMRs (GE Hitachi BWRX-300, Holtec SMR-300, NuScale), Canada is advancing at Darlington and there are partnerships in the UK, Sweden and Poland.

The first commercial rollout is targeted for late 2020s to early 2030s, though delays are chronic.

Exploding electricity demand from AI data centres is now forcing the issue — renewables alone can’t deliver the baseload. If the West had prioritised nuclear over the renewables gamble, we’d likely have cheaper, cleaner, more reliable grids today.

Tech giants are now actively bypassing traditional regulatory bottlenecks by directly financing or partnering with nuclear providers (like recent SMR deals in the US).

Nuclear generation is hitting record highs, with 15 new reactors adding around 12 GW soon. The IAEA has repeatedly raised its outlook: in the high case, capacity more than doubles to around 992 GW by 2050.

But trust and public money have been eroded by wind and solar’s failure to deliver reliable transition — leaving no replacement in sight.

Yet, the most obvious solution has been staring the West in the face all along.

"The whole thing is a fallacy right from the start."

Geologist Ian Plimer dispels the "climate crisis" narrative, arguing that no scientific paper to date has demonstrated human-induced carbon dioxide emissions as a driver of global warming.

He maintains that climate models fail because they assume CO₂ drives temperature rise, which he describes as a religious belief unsupported by evidence.

1960s - Oil will be gone in 10 years.

1970s - Another ice age in 10 years.

1980s - Acid rain will destroy crops in 10 years.

1990s - Ozone layer gone in 10 years.

2000s - Ice caps will be gone in 10 years.

None of this happened; it only resulted in higher taxes.

Security camera footage catches people stealing sewer grates from sidewalks in San Francisco

Residents are upset because the city then sends the people who live near the sewer grate the bill for a new sewer grate

“According to the City Public Utilities Commission and the Department of Public Works, the sidewalk in front of a house, including its grates, is the responsibility of a homeowner”

According to residents who have the grates stolen and are sent the bills, the city is doing nothing about it

“So far, none of the neighbors we've talked with have mentioned anything about the city making any effort to track down whoever is stealing the grates, but the Department of Public Works does have a list of hardware stores where residents can buy replacements”

This is classic California Democrats, send the victims of the crime a bill and do absolutely nothing about the criminals committing the crime

以前公司的一个孩子同事问我：“他四渡赤水这样地让敌人出其不意，难道不能说明他的确是军事天才吗？”
我答：“不能！起开，起开..你瞧，我用墩布打你的脚，你跳去躲闪也不说明你是军事天才。就只说明你有求生欲！”

[茶先生 @liaoping2020]

近期公影的《四渡》，据说票房不错，冯裤子团队得好好反省：韭菜们从来不讨厌主旋律，讨厌的只是你拍主旋律。

而所谓的“主旋律”，从来都是胡编乱造的，比如“四渡赤水”的故事。

官方一直“四渡赤水”描绘成毛军事生涯的神来之笔，毛本人亦津津乐道这一得意之作。

先说长征（四渡发生在长征途中的1935年1月）一词，此词是古今中外战史上最无耻的表述。

一场被逼无奈的狼奔豕突，连目的地都不知在何处的逃窜，居然以“征”来命名，这是连陈云这样的坏种都不好意思干的事。【陈云当年和老婆钟玉林玩失踪，去苏俄找主子汇报情况，流水账式地美化此番逃窜，书名曰：《随军西行见闻录》，此书出版比斯诺的《西行漫记》还要早问世一年多。】

大概只有毛才说得出这些大言不惭的话：“长征是宣言书，长征是宣传队，长征是播种机。自从盘古开天地，三皇五帝到于今，历史上曾经有过我们这样的长征吗？……长征一完结，新局面就开始。”

再说“四渡”。中共在1945年及1981年分别两次透过历史决议重构“四渡”，将所有因毛错误指挥导致的意外，定性为“伟大领袖”的预谋。例如1935年1月土城之败被说成是“诱敌深入”，盲目绕路被说成是“调动敌人”，将灾难转化为神话。

1935年1月遵义会议后，毛泽东虽进入领导核心，却急于立功以证明自己的军事天才并巩固权位。他执意在土城设伏攻击川军，却因情报错误，将敌军六个团误判为两个团，导致红军在赤水河边陷入背水作战的绝境。

红军死伤三、四千人，占当时中央红军总数的约十分之一，是长征开始之后最大的败仗之一。红军被迫于1月29日渡过赤水河逃命，并丢弃了所有重武器和宝贵的医疗设备。

1935年5月，红军渡过金沙江后，为摆脱国民党军队的追击，部队在会理地区进行了频繁的行军调整。彭德怀、林彪等前线将领对毛泽东的胡乱指挥极度愤怒，林彪甚至曾发电报要求毛撤职，改由彭德怀指挥。

为何毛在1935年1月至3月，带着红军在赤水河两岸不断兜圈？张戎在《毛泽东鲜为人知的故事》说，真实的动机可能是躲避与张国焘会师。

当时张国焘统率的红四方面军有八万人马，兵强马壮；而毛泽东的中央红军仅存不到三万残兵，而且士气低落。毛深知一旦两军会师，资历与实力均优的张国焘绝不会甘当他的傀儡，他的领袖地位不保。

因此，毛泽东宁愿带着部队在贵州的穷山恶水间绕路，甚至不惜1935年3月在鲁班场发动毫无胜算的进攻，牺牲上千名士兵，只为了寻找借口留在贵州，延缓北上会师的时间。毛泽东急于在见张国焘之前，建立个人军事权威的动机。如果能以战功作为筹码，他在未来与张国焘的政治博弈中将掌握主动权。

1935年5月，毛泽东在会理会议上以“右倾”帽子粗暴压制了反对声音，当面斥责林彪“还是个娃娃，懂得什么？”，并怀疑彭德怀在背后煽动。

《蒋介石日记》透露其战略是借追剿红军之名，将中央军的势力首次伸入长期半独立的贵州、四川、云南。当红军进入这些省份时，军阀们为了自保，不得不请求中央军进驻，这使中央军能名正言顺地接收这些省份，完成国家统一。蒋成功收编了王家烈等军阀，为日后的抗日战争建立了大后方。

真实的“长征”之路，是建立在无数士兵与民工的白骨之上。官方宣传红军“官兵平等”，但实情是中共领导人当时大多坐着担架由民工抬行。

那些被强征来的挑夫和民工，因为体力不支或生病，常被保衞局人员视为“动摇分子”而就地处决。林彪的部队中，仅过草地一周就有15%的人员死亡。
“四渡”期间，为了机动，大批因土城等战役受伤的红军被遗弃在深山密林中。这些伤员大多数无医无药，在绝望中自生自灭。

后来，毛泽东在延安向斯诺（Edgar Snow）编造了许多有声有色的故事，例如“飞夺泸定桥”这类夸大的神话。前美国国家安全顾问布热津斯基回忆录中记载，1982年邓小平曾对他坦承：“这只是为了宣传，我们需要表现我们军队的战斗精神。其实那是一次非常简单的军事行动，没有什么大不了的。”

NASA never lost the blueprints for the Saturn V, the rocket that sent people to the moon. They still exist, on microfilm and in government archives. Three full Saturn V rockets sit in museums right now. What vanished was the 400,000 people and 20,000 companies who knew how to build it. When the program wound down, they scattered, and the know-how went with them.

Egypt's story is stranger than a lost skill. They built pyramids for a thousand years and then stopped completely, because the pyramids kept failing at their one job. A giant stone monument was a giant arrow pointing robbers straight at the king's gold, and of the 100-plus pyramids in Egypt, almost none still had a body or treasure inside when archaeologists opened them. So around 1500 BC they started cutting hidden tombs into a faraway desert valley. The pharaohs still had the workers and the skill to move millions of blocks. What they had lost was a reason to keep building a giant target for robbers.

Rome is the brutal one. At its height the city ran 11 aqueducts feeding in around 300 million gallons of water a day, enough for a population of a million. Keeping hundreds of miles of channel clean and sealed took a whole working empire behind it: tax money, trained engineers, full-time repair crews. When the money and the government fell apart, the upkeep stopped. Then in 537 AD an invading Gothic army cut the aqueducts and shut off the city's water during a siege. Most were never repaired, and Rome shrank from about a million people to maybe 30,000. One aqueduct lived, the Aqua Virgo, because it ran underground where the army could not get at it. It still runs today. It is the water pouring out of the Trevi Fountain, 2,000 years later.

Not one of these civilizations lost a book or a blueprint. They lost the living machine that carried the knowledge: the crews, the funding, the supply chains, the people who showed up every day to do the work. A blueprint shows you what the finished thing looked like. It cannot give you the thousand small skills the workers kept in their heads and never wrote down.

The moon is also the proof that this runs in reverse. After the space shuttle retired in 2011, the United States could not send a single person into orbit, and paid Russia around 80 million dollars a seat to fly its astronauts for nine years. Then in May 2020 a team put people back into space from the same Florida pad Apollo used in 1969. None of that was owed to anyone. It came back because people built it back.

The claim that Europe wasn't as warm as today before industrial CO₂ isn't supported by the evidence.

Tree rings. Alpine glaciers. Vineyard records. Lake sediments. Historical documents.

They all show that parts of Europe experienced warmth exceeding 20th-century temperatures during the Medieval Warm Period, when CO₂ was about 280 ppm.

In 2006, Al Gore released An Inconvenient Truth, a film that defined modern climate alarm.

He warned Greenland and Antarctica's ice would melt, driving seas high enough to put major cities underwater, saying that entire coastlines would have to be redrawn.

Eighteen years later though, none of it has happened, not even close.

Meanwhile, Gore has gotten very rich. While ordinary people were told to feel guilty and cut back, he built a fortune. He became the first climate billionaire. His wealth came from green investment funds such as board seats and advisory roles, 200k plus speaking fees and carbon credit trading.

Al Gore didn't save the planet, he monetized fear.

认为“郭的口才好”，是对口才一词的误解。
识别出他就是个痞子或骗子，就只须听一次他在发布的视频里的说话就足够了。
他的语速快、情绪饱满、会迎合及带动听众等都是些小技巧，而缺乏逻辑、下流粗鄙以及极度浮夸会在几句话间暴露出来。
即使不把骗作为扣分项，他也只是一个糟糕的演讲者。

采访郭的前一天，郭要求我提供个人驾照信息，说是安保公司要求。

我拒绝，理由是视频采访，根本不会见面，不可能对你安保有影响。

他当时见我态度坚决就不再坚持，采访结束后，他对我公开及私下极度吹捧，我觉得很不正常，没有任何回应。

后来多少“英雄豪杰”前赴后继以与郭认识为荣，再后来几乎每个人都是惹得一身腥，我可能是唯一一个不上钩不上当的人，让郭非常生气，发动他的信徒百般攻击辱骂我，一直未回应，让他们打到棉花上，当然他后来搞出金额超过十亿的诈骗案，这是始料未及的，此人口才极好，确实极具迷惑性。

韩红在网上塌房，他到底做错了什么？

韩红基金会的钱，大多数流向了西藏、宁夏、内蒙古

说句公道话，如今这些地方并不穷，穷的是山河四省

去过西藏宁夏内蒙古的都知道，这些地方的普通人并不穷，看看那些富丽堂皇的清真寺和寺庙，看看那些普通人一掷千金的供奉和捐赠

内蒙古东胜地区更是富的流油，江浙沪独生女也比不上东胜独生女！

再举个例子，即使是办理低保，在内蒙古也比山西容易很多，因为有大量的财政扶持补贴

现在真正穷的是，山河四省的城市穷民，他们不是农民，没有地可以种，他们是工人，却没有工作

这些人是真的穷，真的真的穷

多关注这些城市穷民吧 ！
