\u201cThis conspiracy theorist needs to check his simplistic, authoritarian, emotional views. Eight billion consumers desiring the most affordable, reliable, plentiful energies is the reason why fossil fuels are winning. The real enemy in terms of human betterment is the climate industrial complex, the industrial wind developers, the solar cronies, and EV\/battery elites. Mid-course correction needed, Mr. Carlevale.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Edmund Carlevale, self-described<\/a> as Transdisciplinary Communications, MIT whistleblower, City-based Sustainability Strategies, with a following of 25,000 on social media, has a very simple explanation of the crisis behind the climate crisis. He offers a crude theory behind \u201cthe failed strategies of marching in the streets to end fossil fuels, the endless horror stories of the environmental horrors in our future, and the unending technical debunking of scams like #carboncapture<\/a>.\u201d It is a conspiracy theory that mangles cause-and-effect. Here it is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is why emissions are skyrocketing and Big Oil stocks are booming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The culprit of the global program is embedded in \u201c3 corrupt U.S. universities producing propaganda written by the global oil cartel and published under the brand of prestigious U.S. universities, which give politicians the cover they need to continue funding business as usual.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Continuing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This argument is the basis of the report I am submitting to the U.S. Department of Justice<\/a>, requesting an investigation into the #fossilfuelfunding<\/a> given to #MIT<\/a>, #Stanford<\/a>, and #Columbia<\/a> University over the past 20 years.

The report examines 5 pieces of evidence published by these three institutions and their key players:

1. \u201cBig Oil vs. the World, Part Three: Delay\u201d (the PBS edit, 2022).
2. \u201cHow to get investors to say \u201cYes!\u201d to CCS\u201d (Ernest Moniz, Sally Benson, et al, Feb. 23, 2023).
3. \u201cBehind All the Talk, This Is What Big Oil Is Actually Doing\u201d (Jason Bordoff, New York Times op-ed, August 7, 2023).
4. \u201cThe Future of Coal\u201d (Ernest Moniz, John Deutch, et al., MIT Energy Initiative, started 2004-published 2007).
5. \u201cThe Future of Natural Gas\u201d (Ernest Moniz et al., MIT Energy Initiative, 2011).

Unlike doctors who face lawsuits for malpractice and lawyers who can be disbarred, or lobbyists who must register as such, academics have no accountability for anything produced outside the peer-review process. Yet the institution\u2019s reputation is automatically applied to anything so published.

It is this system which the global oil cartel has rigged to serve its interests, and it is this system, imho, which is presently destroying Earth\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back to Reality \u2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This conspiracy theorist needs to take a sabbatical to check his simplistic, authoritarian, emotional views. Eight billion consumers desiring the most affordable, reliable, plentiful energies is the reason why fossil fuels are winning. It gets back to the fundamental concept of energy density of the sun\u2019s work over the ages (creating coal, oil, and gas) versus the very dilute flow of wind and solar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of human betterment, the real enemy is the climate industrial complex: the cronies behind wind, solar, and EV\/batteries\u2014cronies both government and private. A major mid-course correction is needed to get the causality right, but will Mr. Carlevale oblige?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
