U.N. Boss calls for Death of Coal
Timothy Birdnow
United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres has called for the world to stop building coal-fired power plants. Oddly, he did while visiting F.
NOT China. Not India. Not any other place that actually emits large quantities of pollutants from coal. No; he made his pitch in the Pacific, where they have no large industries and no coal production.
The attacks on coal have largely killed the industry. The two largest coal companies in the world - Peabody and Arch - are both located in St. Louis, Mo. and are both in bankruptcy thanks to the war on coal.
After tweeting out platitudes like "we need a green economy, not a grey economy" the U.N. boss says "we need to tax pollution, not people". What does this boob thing a "pollution tax" is? It's a tax on people. People pay it, in the price they pay for products and services.
He does admit political will for imposing these draconian schemes to regulate hot air is losing steam. He's right, because in the end most people realize this is a fake crisis. The leaders of most nations know it, but they are on board because they want to slow down their competitors and maybe get a nice chunk of cash from the rich nations. But in the end they know it is bullsquirt. And the citizens of the rich nations do too, or at least enough of them to stop the implementation of a new world order to solve a largely fictitious problem.
