Irina Slav lists the rules strictly followed by leaders of the Great Energy Transition at her substack Irina Slav on Energy.<\/strong><\/a>  Excerpts in italics with my bolds and added images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We call them climate crusaders, climateers, a cult, and other, less polite words<\/strong>. Essentially, however, the transition leadership is a club<\/strong> and I only say this because I\u2019m in a good mood this week, seeing as the local case of global boiling has ended for the year.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like every club, Transition Club\u00a0has rules and<\/strong>\u00a0we all must give its\u00a0members top marks for following these<\/strong>, not least because following these rules is often quite challenging. Here\u2019s why.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rule #1: We do not talk about the problems. (Unless we absolutely have to.)<\/strong><\/em><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The IEA this week<\/strong> made its fans happy by releasing a new report that said the world needed to replace and build 50 million miles of transmission lines to make the transition work.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This would only take $600 billion annually by 2030<\/strong>, which is double the current investment rate for transmission lines. For context, the global transmission line network is half the length the IEA says we need<\/strong> right now.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The expansion needs to take place by 2040 because Climate Targets<\/strong>. In other words, the world needs to double its transmission line network in a matter of less than 20 years<\/strong>\u2026 after it took a century to build all the lines we currently have<\/strong>. Realistic, right?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fairness, the IEA does hint that there might be a slight problem with securing all of the raw materials<\/strong> necessary for this enormous undertaking. It absolutely had to admit it, what with miners crying shortage all the time, annoying people. But that cannot stop the transition. Else we get global broiling.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rule #2: Facts are obsolete. Only the transition matters. (Until facts punch you in the face.)<\/strong><\/em><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The UK government<\/strong> had a plan to replace gas heating systems in homes with hydrogen.<\/strong> It even scheduled local trials to see if it would work. I know, that\u2019s almost unheard of in transition circles but they did.  Following massive opposition<\/strong> from the target community, the government ditched the trial plan<\/strong> and started mumbling that maybe hydrogen for heating is not such a marvelous idea.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The facts: hydrogen \u2014 green hydrogen, that is \u2014 is expensive.
All hydrogen is also dangerous, which makes
the green variety even more expensive.<\/mark><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time the plans were made, these facts were shunned.<\/strong> The opposition of the locals in the village of Whitby, however, prompted their return to the scene, ultimately leading to this piece of news: Hydrogen for UK home heating should be ruled out, says infrastructure adviser<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summed up, the match between facts and fantasy in hydrogen sounds like this, per the FT:\u00a0\u201c\u201cWe do not see any role for hydrogen in the future of home heating,\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0said Nick Winser, NIC commissioner, arguing it was \u201csimply not ready at scale\u201d and risked being an inefficient use of green electricity.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rule #3: Tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it<\/strong><\/em><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Okay, this one is from a quote and here\u2019s the whole quote:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.<\/strong> The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and\/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie<\/strong>, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It kind of feels I can add nothing constructive to this description of the climate change narrative<\/strong>, especially if you consider the source,<\/strong> which appears to be (though not verbatim, I understand) a little book called Mein Kampf<\/strong>. I mean, if a tactic was tried in one context and it worked splendidly, you can totally make it work in another, and I\u2019m not being ironic. The tactic does work.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s only too bad \u201cthe State\u201d cannot shield the people from
the consequences of the lie for very long.<\/mark><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Europe,<\/strong> we are witnessing in real time how the consequences<\/strong>, from which governments have been unable to shield their populations, are causing a turning political tide<\/strong>, with voters electing parties that do not prioritise the transition.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rule #4: If it\u2019s failing, double down<\/strong><\/em><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The countries with the greatest wind and solar power generation<\/strong> capacity in the EU also have some of the highest electricity prices<\/strong>. This is a mystery to absolutely no one with rudimentary mental acuity. And yet the billions continue flowing into wind and solar. And then, once a gas crunch hits, they start flowing into households.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wind and solar clearly cannot work at the scale their fans want them to work<\/strong>. It is physically and financially impossible<\/strong> for them to make sense at that scale at this point in time. The evidence is there on a daily basis, courtesy of Electricity Maps and, I\u2019m sure, other real-time tracking websites.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transition Club has no truck with evidence<\/strong>, however, unless it\u2019s the right kind of evidence<\/strong>, such as record-setting wind\/solar output for some day or another. The rest is dismissed as irrelevant, disinformation, or simply ignored.\u00a0And the billions keep flowing because there are targets to be hit in wind and solar installations.<\/strong>\u00a0Whatever it takes.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
Rule #5: Words and numbers are weapons<\/strong><\/em><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Old but gold and put to good use by the Club. All the talk about global boiling, the highway to hell, the accelerating extreme weather, the climate catastrophe<\/strong> and all the rest of it are water to the Transition Club agitprop mill. It keeps the lie going.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Numbers are even better:<\/strong> from the 99% of climate scientists who are in agreement about the climate and related catastrophies to all the CO2 emission updates<\/strong> and the horrific temperature readings<\/strong> from this summer we get actual numbers that stoke up fears that the planet is dying and we\u2019re on our way out<\/strong> with it unless we kill the oil and gas industry and go full-wind\/solar.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or unless we\u00a0check how the authors of the 99% consensus study came to their conclusion<\/strong>\u00a0and what\u00a0their sample size<\/strong>\u00a0was, what the\u00a0significance<\/strong>\u00a0of those emission updates is for the total content of CO2 in the atmosphere, and how those temperatures were measured during the summer.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rule #6: Questions are denial<\/strong><\/em><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

This rule evolved organically from following all the others and sprouted actual disinformation laws,<\/strong> at least in the EU, for now, and not-so-official reporting rules for the media<\/strong> that require the climate narrative to be reported as fact despite evidence to the contrary,<\/strong> said evidence being dismissed as science denial<\/strong> and denialist propaganda, even when \u2014 and perhaps especially when \u2014 it comes from actual scientists.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apparently, these days there are two kinds of scientists,the right and the wrong kind.
The wrong kind are those asking questions,\u00a0 even though
science is by definition a process that involves a lot of question-asking.<\/mark><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Per the Oxford Dictionary<\/strong> science means \u201cthe systematic study of the structure and behaviour of the physical and natural world through observation, experimentation, and the testing of theories against the evidence obtained.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not in the transition era, it doesn\u2019t. In the transition era, there is a right kind of observation and computer modelling to replace experimentation and testing of theories against evidence.<\/strong> Then there is the wrong kind,<\/strong> which is any systematic study of the physical and natural world that questions the right kind, using evidence.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glory be to the transition.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
