Climate Change Mega Thread

[Jlabute]

Yeah, the worlds largest lone polluters, paid for by the largest cesspool of trash and disinformation. Now that the climate crisis narrative is falling apart they just might buy more yachts, and that is good news for yacht makers.

France’s nuclear engineering approach has outperformed Germany’s renewables-first ideology mainly because it is grounded in physics, systems engineering, and energy security, while Germany’s Energiewende was driven more by political ideology and risk aversion than whole-of-system outcomes.

Germany optimised for installed MW.
France optimised for delivered MWh. <-- This is all that matters

1. Engineering vs ideology

France - Engineering
Built a standardised nuclear fleet (PWRs) with repeatable designs.
Optimised for capacity factor, inertia, and grid stability.
Decisions led by engineers and system planners (EDF, CEA).
Nuclear treated as critical national infrastructure.

Germany - Ideology
Made a political decision to exit nuclear post-Fukushima.
Assumed wind + solar + interconnectors would replace firm power.
Downplayed dispatchability, storage physics, and grid inertia.
Energy policy driven by public fear, not system optimisation.

Result: France designed a system. Germany assembled components.

2. Decarbonisation effectiveness.
France achieved near-zero-carbon electricity decades ago. Germany spent hundreds of billions and still:
i) Emits more CO₂ per kWh.
ii) Keeps coal plants online.
iii) Relies on gas for firming.

France decarbonised first, then debated ideology. Germany debated ideology first, then discovered physics.

In conclusion, France wins because Nuclear is a system solution, not a single technology. Germany loses because it confused Renewable energy transition with energy substitution. Energy systems don’t care about ideology only physics, scale, and time.

When you follow a failed political ideology (the man-made climate change fraud) over science, physics and math, you will lose every time. Germany - what is wrong with you? How could you be this freaking DUMB?

Greta Thunberg is a warning to parents raising ideologically captured kids

“How dare you?”

Remember that fiery 2019 United Nations speech, when a 16-year-old Greta Thunberg stared down world leaders and accused the adults in the room of stealing her future by ignoring climate change?

The moment catapulted the perpetually pinch-faced teen towards unfathomable stardom as a self-anointed champion for human rights and the planet’s survival.

But fast-forward to today, and Greta is falling quite short of that promise.

She’s not a savior — in fact, she’s a malignant force trying to erase the horrors inflicted on some of the world’s most vulnerable, the victims of Hamas’ Oct. 7 massacre.

How can someone who built her life around securing youth a future be so hell-bent on obliterating the past, silencing Jewish voices and denying the suffering of children burned alive, women raped and families slaughtered?

Let’s look at her latest escapades.

I think most people realize Greta is a butnar, but when Liberals are in power they gloss over this fact since they have the same ideals.

Greta is a byproduct of poor schooling to a large degree. Our entire schooling system graduates people who do questionable "science" and politics.

Today the U.S. is officially out of the Paris Climate Agreement - and that’s worth cheering.

Nobody wants a polluted planet or dirty communities. But Net Zero under Paris was never about clean air, soil, or water. It fixated on carbon targets and punitive regulation - especially against energy & manufacturing.

The result? Higher energy prices, grid instability, and taxpayer money funneled into more expensive, less reliable power like wind.

Sky-high energy costs choke economic growth, which then stifles the innovation needed to make energy cheaper, cleaner, and scalable.

So Paris is upside down: it weakens Western economies, powers China (the renewable supplier), and completely ignores nature.

The U.S. will keep innovating and competing to deliver the cleanest and cheapest energy. It's time for Europe, the UK, and Canada to wake up and do the same.

Now if only we Canadians could get out of this disastrous and stupid agreement, all would be good.

A great day for the USA. The Paris Agreement accomplished nothing other than to burden wealthy countries. Now we need to deal with Canada and the "warming twice as fast" disinformation. A new report says "no".

Thankfully, across the world, countries are revolting against net-zero.
