"There should be encampments and occupations in and near Middlesborough and Hull. There should be. If the spirit of Earth First and actual environmentalism was with us, perhaps there would be."

"Perfect distractions come with talking points and bring framing to the issue they come to embody. Like the XR leaders, and GND proponents, Greta, under advice from a range of experts, leaves the fantastical assumptions in the IPCC mitigation plans well alone."

"These labor organisations are a problem for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the climate cartel, the Sunrise Movement, and the Democratic Socialists of America because they are all members of the Carbon Capture Coalition which is supporting bipartisan efforts to expand tax credits for carbon capture from coal, gas, and oil for utilization in enhanced oil projects that result in geological storage of CO2."

"The Grantham Institute helped the Carbon Tracker Initiative develop ‘Unburnable Carbon’ back in 2013 with the help of the International Energy Agency and the Potsdam Institute.

It’s a language that reflects nothing of the assumptions that underpin it."
