Noted in advance: An entrepreneur who accepts state subsidies is nothing more than a welfare recipient!
When politicians try to turn ideological projects into reality, the first thing they need is massive manipulation of the value of money because the market, the natural state of human interaction, repels political ideologies like a healthy immune system repels a virus.
To get to the point: without the money printer of the European Central Bank, the Davos climate program of the Green Transformation, this serious attack on our liberties and the free market economy, would be unthinkable. Low interest rates to refinance this nonsense are of course included.
Hence the trouble with the US Federal Reserve, which stubbornly insists on a higher interest rate level and is causing the European orgy of money printing and manipulation to falter due to the withdrawal of capital from the eurozone to the less over-regulated area where there is still something to be earned, the USA. What does not play a role in the calculations of the technocrats and green welfare state engineers is, of course, the systematic devaluation of money and the destruction of the purchasing power of citizens.
Of course, the socialists' five-year plan also provides for this eventuality: there are always subsidies for families, support for the elderly, travel allowances and housing benefit contributions. The omniscient technocrats' toolbox is never short of pseudo-solutions to the problems they have created.
But how exactly does the EU's socialist transformation and economic destruction machine work?
Climate apocalypse, overregulation and permanent interventionism - these are the core characteristics of the European Union's policy. Its attempt to cover up its own energy poverty with Net Zero CO2 alarmism and to force the world into its own production scheme has failed, as today's sad verbal attempts to put President Donald Trump in his place before his re-election show.
The EU's Green New Deal, core part of the destructional agenda, is nothing more than the systematic undermining of the free market economy by the socialists in Brussels. In doing so, they are breeding their own core constituency in the ranks of entrepreneurs by a network of subsidies that create a never seen level of dependence.
A favorable side effect of this gigantic subsidy machine is that it buys silence from the opinion makers, especially when the damage of this policy becomes apparent, as the crash of the German economy these days shows. There is no rebellion in the business community, intellectuals keep quiet and the political apparatus dances on the ashes of the declining economy.
Of course the climate apocalypse is nonsense. And even in this scheme of thought, it would be useless to regulate an isolated economy like the German economy into the Stone Age.
Now that the shadow is falling over the eurozone, let's take a quick look at the numbers, at the monstrous machinations of the technocrats in Brussels who are cutting a swath of economic destruction across the continent. We can only hope that the Americans manage to keep interest rates up to put an end to this creepy green socialist experiment!
Key financial components include:
European Green Deal: InvestEU Programme: Mobilizing up to €279 billion for sustainable investments between 2021 and 2027.
NextGenerationEU: €750 billion total, with 30% (€225 billion) allocated for climate and environmental measures.
Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) 2021-2027: €1.074 trillion total budget, with at least 30% (€322 billion) dedicated to climate action.
This is how the Brussels subsidy machine is destroying Europe's cultural landscape.
“Of course the climate apocalypse is nonsense. And even in this scheme of thought, it would be useless to regulate an isolated economy like the German economy into the Stone Age.”
💯👍 Yep the more that I looked at the real and honest science, not the manipulative and fraudulent ‘science’ - it became clearer and clearer.

The astonishing perversity is that on many important metrics, our best estimates are that a slightly warmer world with more CO2 is actually better for humanity.
reply
Here in the Mediterranean region, for example, the temperature during the Roman optimum around 2000 years ago was around 2.5° higher than it is today.
reply
Does that seem like it would be nicer? The Mediterranean is portrayed as a fairly optimal climate.
The other thing to bear in mind is that the warming will mostly act on winter lows. so it might be 5 or 10 degrees warmer at night in January, but otherwise about the same. That certainly sounds nice to me.
reply
I'm no meteorologist or chemist, but how these freaks in Davos managed to correlate the climate and temperature fluctuations of the planet with man-made CO2 emissions is still a media mystery to me today
reply
They do correlate pretty strongly, but the temporal lag indicates that it's actual rising temperatures that increase CO2 levels, rather than the opposite. That's likely because warmer water retains less dissolved CO2.
reply
Solar activity, ‘milankovitch’ cycles have a big effect on temperatures. I’ve heard Solar scientists call out the nonsense that CO2 is driving temperatures. CO2 change is a down stream effect of temperature change as you say.
reply
There's also some newer work on latent heat in the Earth's mantel and core. There are geophysical cycles where more mantel is melting than solidifying, which releases latent heat to the surface.
That sounds plausible to me
reply
They are going after the 'climate propoganda' with all their guns blazing here in Europe but supporting the war there in Ukraine will not destroy climate.
reply
How correctly you described everything. It is very pleasant to read!
reply
Thank You

The contradictions of socialism: "An 'entrepreneur' who accepts state subsidies" Sounds like an oxymoron to me. 😅
reply
It is, indeed
reply
Wow, the green deal is becoming costly. We have a lot of those windmills in america, too. They look ugly as sin, and I swear half of them are turned off everyday. Even when there are high demands for energy during the summer.
reply
more than 25 years ago, I once gave a lecture in the local parliament in North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany about the destruction of the cultural landscape by green projects. that brought me nothing but anger and humiliation
reply
Its not getting better. People believe green energy is better. Its actually a lot more inefficient.
reply
And yet...it seems like every time I look at a mainstream newspaper, you see another article about the climate apocalypse. Like for instance this one - we're now reaching a "tipping point" apparently, no way back. Take a look at this panic mongering:
An excerpt:
As global temperatures spiked to their highest levels in recorded history on Monday, ambulances were screaming through the streets of Tokyo, carrying scores of people who’d collapsed amid an unrelenting heat wave. A monster typhoon was emerging from the scorching waters of the Pacific Ocean, which were several degrees warmer than normal. Thousands of vacationers fled the idyllic mountain town of Jasper, Canada ahead of a fast-moving wall of wildfire flames.

this is the gigantic media machine that is pushing the Davos agenda and forcing its implementation in panic mode. Control mechanisms, travel restrictions, cbdcs, all the crap that is supposed to save the world.
reply
Panic is the right word.
Just look at the text. It's insane, the amount of emotionally charged propaganda that's directed at us.

Hello. In my opinion Windmills are the modern monuments of Western Civilization.
For example you can compare them with pyramids. They were built in big quantities, and larger and larger, just because they could. It was a cultural thing.
Windmills are the sort of monument a more advanced civilization would build. Its their take on a monument.
Eventually people will begin scavenging them like they scavenged the limestone off of the pyramids to use the materials for more productive purposes.
reply
Windmills are nothing like the pyramids in Egypt
reply
Windmills generate electricity which is a breakthrough when it comes to monuments, but they are still monuments
reply
Windmills are not monuments of Western Civilization

the market, the natural state of human interaction: this is the sort of statements that tries to hide the fact that you too have an ideology, which makes you as stubborn and blind (or enlightened) as any European regulator can be.
The natural state of human interaction is quite hard to define. We could look at the question from a philosophical, religious or anthropological point of view and get different answers. In your case is not clear what's the standard you use for arrive to your conclusion, which like religious dogmas, seem it was given to you by divine revelation.
Another interesting observation of your statement is that it uses the word natural to suggest the other option is unnatural, and therefore some sort of perversion. However, another alternative to natural could be the artificial. Since you are using a computer to write your message, you were vaccinated at some point in your life, ate food grown with fertilizers, and so on; I hope there's no need to convince you that artificial doesn't mean perversion.
Hope you can get something useful from this answer. Cheers!
