Stop Storms with Censorship!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The UN Chief reminds us that we are babies who need an unelected tribal chieftain to protect us from seeing naughty persuasive words. Lord help us if grown up doctors, dentists, economists and people who keep planes-in-the-sky are accidentally exposed to The Word Of Exxon, or Shell, or BP. They might vote the wrong way, or buy the wrong car. They might influence their own children. (They might wonder why they pay money to The UN?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What looks acts and smells like a global government in waiting? The United Nations wants your money and control over what you read and see. They also want control over the voices of the industry they are proposing to destroy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest science decree from the Experts is that fossil fuel companies are the \u201cGodfathers of climate chaos\u201d. They\u2019re probably sneaking around behind you like the mafia, dropping flood-bombs on your children\u2019s school and raining on your Pride Parade.  Fossil fuels are just like tobacco now \u2014 apart from how they harvest the fields and feed the children<\/a> and fly us to Barbados for beachy weekends. (Marlboro only did that in the adverts\u2026)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UN need an enemy to blame for everything, and the best kind of enemy is one that can\u2019t speak:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ban fossil fuel ads to save climate, says UN chief<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

BBC \u201cNews\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

UN Secretary General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres called coal, oil and gas corporations the \u201cgodfathers of climate chaos\u201d who had distorted the truth and deceived the public for decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just as tobacco advertising was banned because of the threat to health, the same should now apply to fossil fuels, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His remarks were his most damning condemnation yet of the industries responsible for the bulk of global warming<\/strong>. They came as new studies showed the rate of warming is increasing and that global heat records have continued to tumble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh Woe, if only the UN could persuade the people not to buy oil, gas and coal to avoid the oceans boiling off to space. That would end the power of the fossil fuel giants right then and there. But after 30 years of trying, the UN, the bankers, and the sycophant cowards in academia all failed to convince the average driver to ride a bike or catch a bus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s face it, they failed to even convince themselves to use Zoom instead of flying 100,000 planes to UN parties in Dubai or Azerbaijan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So the tar-and-feathering must continue:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said many in the oil, gas and coal industries had \u201cshamelessly greenwashed\u201d with lobbying, legal action and massive advertising campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI urge every country to ban advertising from fossil fuel companies,\u201d he told an audience in New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd I urge news media and tech companies to stop taking fossil fuel advertising.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They must be afraid that one day the captive fossil fuels giants will wake up and fight back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not that there is much sign of that yet:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response, representatives of fossil fuel groups said they were committed to reducing their emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur industry is focused on continuing to produce affordable, reliable energy while tackling the climate challenge, and any allegations to the contrary are false,\u201d said Megan Bloomgren, Senior Vice President of Communications at the American Petroleum Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though the warning flares must be popping on the horizon. BP lost $1 billion trying to make wind power work<\/a>, and changed policies from cutting oil to increasing it. Shareholders and investors like Bluebell Capital are openly knocking a few heads together on boards of sitting-duck gas and oil giants \u2014 explaining how their Net Zero targets are helping their competitors, and hurting their investors. Bluebell are buying the dips as it were \u2013the dippy boards. They will reap (hopefully) the financial rewards of turning around suicidal companies.  As a money making strategy, that might light a fire under some old fossils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UN is a threat to democracy. Ban funds to the UN instead.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
