Of "They have no plan to save the global climate for the globe's inhabitants. Not because they don't think the crisis is coming, but because they don't want to" . . .

A tendentious proposition, T.N.

They probably do and their elite selves have been put on notice as to the true state of affairs.

There is no solution for the mass of humanity as the mass is unsustainable.

________

As averred to by one former member of the US National National Security Apparatus, Department of Defense scientists are not climate deniers.

Earth carrying capacity? 400 million people.

The late Dr. Eric Pianka, Texas University, asserted a reduction of the human population to 10%, some decades past when that was 10% of a smaller aggregate number. It has only got worse. Save < 10% or everyone goes down.

________

Dealt with here in the first essay, where those with money have sought underground arrangements in New Zealand and why they necessarily fail - first Substack essay.

As for the modus operandi of the feckless Power Elite, you have these . . .

Washington's Ukraina Grandioznaya Skhema. The Graveyard of This Empire. https://les7eb.substack.com

________

Their desperations hang heavy in the air.

Russia - 70%+ of the world's remaining resources, a small population, that easy target to destabilize and tip out its government, divide the country and strip mine its resources, their Grand Plan to save their Elite Selves, is in the graveyard. Never have they been so desperate. Others have attacked Russia, only to discover vast errors in their strategies and the vastness of Russian capabilities. They never read the history. They are fools and now dangerous fools.

Washington - London - Brussels' Ukrainian Proxy War to take down Russia over the lives of the poor Ukrainian people has failed, yet they have nowhere to go but to double down. Until they themselves collapse, as they will. Their centuries old geo-political success paradigm - attack and pillage inferior states, has gone past due. Russia and China cannot be taken down.

By their own hand do they face their reckoning. The Ukraine Proxy War is now The Graveyard of The West.

_________

Only when the last Western supplied munition has been destroyed, only when the last Ukrainian soldier has been killed and only when the last of what was The Ukraine disappears will they realize, too late, that God Favours Russia . . . https://les7eb.substack.com/p/ukraine-long-proxy-war-vi-god-favours

This fits in perfectly with Gaius Publi's previous post on the "Iron Law of Institutions." The super-rich would rather ride the world downhill toward some level of chaos that they'll control (and won't suffer from) than cede control to the "environmentalists," Democratic Socialists, and anti-neoliberal forces who will pass laws that infringe on their prerogatives.

Also, about that old adage of the environmental Left that there's no Planet B? Actually, there is as the Goldman Sachs photo illustrates. They're building their air-conditioned, climate-controlled domains while the rest of us are left subject to the vagaries of droughts, floods, and storms.

This article from Pro-Publica captures our separately evolving worlds perfectly. https://www.propublica.org/article/postcard-from-thermal-surviving-the-climate-gap-in-eastern-coachella-valley

"The one thing with writing stories about the rise of fascism is that if you wait long enough, you'll almost certainly be proved right. Fascism is like a hydra - you can cut off its head in the Germany of the '30s and '40s, but it'll still turn up on your back doorstep in a slightly altered guise."

We are watching them do it. SpaceX is building heavy lift systems for space colonization. You need 29 acres of forest to sustainably produce woodpulp for your personal toilet paper use. We are at four acres each divided by roads- three acres which must be maintained as forest for rainfall.

The answer is colonize space. The Alternative is kill the 98% who believe in freedom of religion.
