Shellenberger in his most recent piece on Public writes about the potential motivations behind John Kerry’s disconnect from reality. But the main reason, I believe, is simply ideology. Kerry appears to believe that cheap solar panels and batteries make all fossil fuels unnecessary.
IMO it’s much easier to understand Kerry’s contradictions if you see his green ideals as a religion. A religionist can live (and even occasionally think) in a world of physical cause and effect while simultaneously accepting the existence of all kinds of impossible miracles. That’s the best I can do to explain the green agenda’s endurance. The psychological factors that explain the need for religion will likely also explain the need for a green ideal. I don’t understand those factors, however.
If people thought about it for more than a nanosecond, they would tend to judge these asinine programs based on results, not intentions. Viewed through that lens, the truth is obvious. The religion of the concentration of power and wealth at the top of the food chain.
Philippians 3:19 "Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is set on earthly things."
Happy to read your thoughts before I get my day started, they keep me in my default setting: grumpy.
I agree with the commenter's view that these energy policies are simply about population control. Scare the masses into thinking the oceans are literally boiling and watch them line up to be governed harder.

Amen.

Climate Religion for sure. Anti-human flourishing, except for his buddies with money and jets.
The climate mind parasite.
The hate comes the athiests who believe that creation was random. It is a hard concept to sell when one observes the magistry of creation.
Kerry appears to be oblivious to the suffering caused by the policies that he advocates.
