The historical echoes, laments the Times, \u201care chilling, coming 50 years after the Arab oil embargo roiled energy markets.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unless Israel surrenders (unspoken but implied), November\u2019s climate negotiations (COP 28) in Doha, United Arab Emirates, will become \u201ceven more complicated.\u201d An earlier Times&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/10\/18\/business\/dealbook\/israel-gaza-oil-markets.html\">article<\/a>&nbsp;moaned that \u201cdefense stocks have rallied,\u201d and oil producers are making profits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is a fundamental test,\u201d said Comfort Ero, president of the International Crisis Group, \u201cof whether nations can firewall climate diplomacy from immediate crises.\u201d But with the talks being held in the UAE petrostate, the deck is heavily stacked against the coveted Net Zero goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dear Gray Lady, you write further that the Hamas-Israel \u201cconflict\u201d follows a global pandemic and comes amid a war in Ukraine that has pummeled economies, driven countries deeper into debt, raised food and fuel prices, and worsened hunger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Curiously, Your Grayness, you seem to imply that neither the pandemic nor the Russia-Ukraine war threatened climate negotiations \u2013 something you apparently join President Biden as deeming far worse than a nuclear holocaust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But No. You have a simpler solution to the climate apocalypse: If the Israelis would just lay down their weapons, sing Kumbaya with Hamas, and worship Gaia together, the planet will quickly heal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reminds me of an old song made popular by Frank Sinatra, \u201cFairy tales can come true, It can happen to you, If you\u2019re young at heart.\u201d Sadly, for the young in Israel, Gaza, Ukraine, Russia, and many other places around the world, the young at heart are being \u201cpummeled.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet the Times\u2019 focus is on the West\u2019s \u201cfailure\u201d to share access to Covid vaccines (despite&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hopkinsmedicine.org\/health\/conditions-and-diseases\/coronavirus\/covid-vaccine-side-effects\">side effects<\/a>&nbsp;just now being recognized) and provide \u201csufficient financial aid\u201d to help&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/news.un.org\/en\/story\/2023\/09\/1140362\">poor countries<\/a>&nbsp;\u201cdeal with climate hazards.\u201d NOT to share access to fertilizers, infrastructure, electricity, and educational opportunities to bring them out of poverty!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Times\u2019 clever move to make Israel the bad guy on climate change is a far cry from the tone set in February by both the United Nations Environment Programme and Politico and followed up on in August by Scientific American.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.unep.org\/news-and-stories\/story\/toxic-legacy-ukraine-warenvironmentalcostofwar.docx\">UNEP reported<\/a>&nbsp;on preliminary monitoring of the Ukraine conflict during 2021 that pointed to a \u201ctoxic legacy for generations to come.\u201d Thousands of possible incidents of air, water, and land pollution and the degradation of ecosystems \u2013 including risks to neighboring countries \u2013 had already been identified \u2013 with more bad news to come. Just chronicling all the damage will be, said UNEP, \u201ca colossal task.\u201d And that\u2019s not including environmental damage in Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The UNEP and its partners have uncovered incidents at nuclear power plants, energy infrastructure (including oil storage tankers), oil and gas facilities, mines, industrial sites, and agro-processing facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Damage to the water supply has occurred at pumping stations, purification plants, and sewage facilities; hazardous substances have been released from explosions at fertilizer and nitric acid plants. All this on top of cleaning up military debris, destroyed housing, and livestock carcasses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UNEP Executive Director Inger Andersen made the shocking statement that \u201cThe mapping and initial screening of environmental hazards only serves to confirm that war is quite literally toxic.\u201d Urging an end to the conflict, Andersen added that, \u201cThe environment is about people; it\u2019s about livelihoods, public health, clean air and water, and basic food systems.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are we to conclude that the Times sees climate change as the only important human concern?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Politico reported&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/environment-scars-russia-war-ukraine-climate-crisis\/\">in February<\/a>&nbsp;that nearly 1,100 cases of environmental damage (out of over 2,300 identified) had been handed over to law enforcement agencies as part of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/how-ukraine-want-make-russia-pay-for-war-environmental-damage\/\">an effort<\/a>&nbsp;to hold Moscow accountable for environmental damage in Ukraine. Eight months ago, Ukraine environment minister Ruslan Strilets estimated the damage at US$51.45 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Scientific American reported&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfact.org\/2023\/10\/25\/green-goals-fueling-hot-wars\/#:~:text=The%20dam's%20destruction%20has%20washed,the%20Zaporizhzhia%20nuclear%20power%20plant\">in August<\/a>, for Ukrainians to return to their homes, the rebuilding \u2013 assisted by up to $91.5 million from U.S. taxpayers \u2013 will need to include restoring drinking water and sanitation systems and the safe processing of solid waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The theme of the article (which reads like a green coalition press release) is, \u201cWhen it\u2019s time to rebuild, we must prioritize more sustainable and resilient infrastructure in Ukraine.\u201d Might this also mean that Ukrainians all drive zero-emission vehicles and ban fossil fuels immediately as a condition of return?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, none of this damage might have occurred had the Ukrainians followed the Times\u2019 advice (to Israel, not Ukraine) to forgo a military response to the initial Russian assault and instead quietly allow Russia to take control of its eastern cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From another viewpoint, however, Russia would not have been in a position to try to impose its will on Ukraine and the West if Germany had not surrendered its nuclear power plants to the green agenda and if President Biden had not shuttered the Keystone pipeline and waged regulatory war against the fossil fuel industry that has kept the West free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Similarly, Hamas would not have had the weaponry to mount its ongoing assaults had the West not welcomed&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/business\/2023\/sep\/25\/the-trade-in-sanctioned-oil-is-booming-as-the-us-turns-a-blind-eye\">the trade<\/a>&nbsp;in sanctioned Russian, Venezuelan, and Iranian oil. The U.S. had been poised to profit from a booming oil market, but the Biden policy of phasing out U.S. oil and gas production opened the door for massive profits for rogue nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Green goals, it turns out, have fueled the fires of war and left the West awkwardly needing fossil fuel energy more than ever while publicly declaring fossil fuel energy as the greatest threat to humanity, dwarfing even an increasingly likely nuclear holocaust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But then again, those who claim that fossil fuels inspired an artificial prosperity built on slowly destroying the planet may prefer a post-nuclear world without electricity and without the great majority of Earth\u2019s current population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the world struggles to battle the effects of climate change, not everyone benefits equally from the remedies.\u00a0&#8220;Who&#8217;s going to win?
