** Europe's Race to Net-Zero - and Total Self-Destruction? ([link removed])

* Today, China is responsible for nearly 12 billion tons of CO₂ emissions — five times Europe's current emissions and one-third of the global total.
* Europe's misguided decarbonization has handed its prosperity to China on a silver platter. Moreover, it has done so through the European Union. Many people despise the EU without really knowing why. Now they do.
* We mock the credulity of ancient peoples who believed in myriad deities, to whom they did not hesitate to offer human sacrifices — even children... We feel only contempt for such myths. Yet today, the European Union is sacrificing 500 million citizens on the altar of a faceless green god.
* Not a single European will die from "global warming." But millions could die from not being able to heat their homes during the winter.
* Crucially, however, China has also been investing billions in nuclear-fusion energy – to provide limitless clean, cheap energy for the unimaginable amounts of electricity that will be required for global dominance in artificial intelligence...
* The lifespan of a wind turbine is short. By 2030, around 14,000 of them will need to be replaced in Europe. How fortunate! Simply do not replace them. The issue is easy: the semi-public companies managing these turbines have set aside nothing at all — not a single cent — for their replacement. All that is needed is to dismantle and remove them. Think of it: our landscapes will no longer be dotted with these useless eyesores. Then we can all write them off as a bet that was lost.

Europe's misguided decarbonization has handed its prosperity to China on a silver platter. Under the pretext of "saving the planet," Europeans have dismantled their factories, outsourced their jobs and increased their energy costs. No better example illustrates the sham of decarbonization than the case of wind farms. Not a single wind turbine is profitable without massive public subsidies, which Europeans pay for every month through their exorbitant energy bills.

In 1992, global carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions stood at 22.3 billion metric tons. By 2024, they had reached a record high of 37.4 billion tons— an increase of nearly 68%.

Europe, by comparison, emitted 4 billion tons in 1992. By 2023, this figure had fallen to around 2.5 billion tons, a reduction of approximately 40% — on a global scale, a derisory amount.

China, for its part, emitted only 2.5 billion tons of CO₂ in 1992. Today, China is responsible for nearly 12 billion tons of CO₂ emissions — five times Europe's current emissions and one-third of the global total.

While Europe flagellates itself in a supposedly virtuous asceticism, aiming to eliminate carbon from the continent ("net-zero"), the rest of the world, led by China, is burning coal at full throttle, propelling global emissions to unprecedented heights.
