Realist - according to Meriam Webster’s dictionary at the exact moment of this writing, is defined as: A person who recognizes what is real or possible in a particular situation : one who accepts and deals with things as they really are
The next time Naomi and her squad are ill or wounded give them a choice between medical procedures from 1790 vs 2023. As a teeny-tiny thought experiment let's posit that she has a twisted bowel. Or a compound fracture of the femur. Or a serious laceration from a rusty scythe while she was sharpening it during haying. In what era would you rather have these unfortunate medical traumas? When I have visited various settler displays or mock villages I am always drawn to the "medical practice". A quick look around at what was available to treat the above afflictions is curious and horrifying - that is, if there was any treatment protocol. Odds are you would die in your bed. Sobbing when not screaming. Is this what she is actually promoting? No hydrocarbons no modern medicine.
What a way to walk through the world! It must be quite a burden to be on the “right side of history” in every single instance.
I’m guessing she doesn’t buy the thesis that fossil fuels finally gave us the excess primary energy to end slavery in the west? That would be too inconvenient to think about.
Absolutely ZERO chance of her and her ilk setting a non-hypocritical example for us to follow. I always say... do your bit and start small because I repeatedly told every little helps. Start by getting rid of your fossil fuel; mobile phone, then laptop, then plastics, then transportation, then fertilizer, then clothing. Like I said ZERO chance of setting a leadership example. These elites want change (and poverty) for the masses but the status quo (power and wealth) for themselves. It would appear from her CV that she's spent little more than 3yrs doing real work where you gain a true appreciation of how things work and how things get done (albeit 3yrs at the start of her career). These people have almost zero understanding of how things get done because they have no experience but can't stop themselves telling us, the ones who actually have experience, of how to do things.

It really is painful watching her “think.”
Please don’t make me face that ugliness again. Please?
When you're doing "good", there's just no limit to the amount of good you should do.
One heck of a burden, that's why the alarmists are constantly upset.
Great piece. So tired of climate hysteria.
Wow. I just stumbled into an interlinked space on the web where folks talk about those who believe in climate science as "woke". Amazing!
