Climate-Change Advocates Leave Twitter in Droves

Twitter users advocating for an energy transition are leaving Twitter in droves claiming abuse by “climate deniers”.

Communicating the dangers of climate change has become so much harder now that Elon Musk – arguably the man who has done the most of any single person to battle climate change – owns Twitter.

Boo hoo hoo.

If you can’t take it, don’t dish it

The above report comes days after Cowboy State Daily’s Kevin Killough wrote how climate alarmists, as he dubbed them, were complaining about being abused on Twitter.

A quick research, however, showed that these same people who call themselves climate scientists are not too shy about being hostile to opponents on the social network.

Many Twitter users have scientific degrees in different fields, including climate science and earth sciences.

The funny part is that not all scientists subscribe to the climate emergency narrative.

There are plenty of experts who disagree with the “oceans are going to boil” narrative.

They say that after Musk took over, Twitter is a much better place for them because they are not being shadow-banned and silenced.

But climate-change doomers are not happy.

Because the new Twitter does not give a platform to their perspective.

Hypocritical much?

The pendulum swings both ways

This was bound to happen, and it will be happening more.

It’s a classic case of the pendulum effect: the farther you swing a pendulum—or a narrative—one way, the stronger it will swing back the opposite way.

As climate alarmism grows louder, so does the opposition to it.

As government tries to reduce emissions through energy demand cuts, the demand for more energy grows.

It sounds like the climate-doom scientists need to set up their own social network. We’ve heard that somehere before, haven’t we?

Alaska Jumps on Carbon Offset Bandwagon

Alaska plans to become a hot spot for a new industry: carbon offset trading.

In a new bill that Governor Mike Dunleavy signed this week, the oil state eyes getting the best out of two worlds: fossil fuels and the energy transition.

Money for nothing?

Alaska wants to draw in companies that want to reduce their carbon footprint by buying carbon offsets.

It has even identified three forests that can be used as carbon sinks under the plans.

Here’s how it works:

• A company wants to reduce the amount of emissions it generates.

• It buys a carbon offset.

• The carbon offset is linked to a forest in Alaska that is being taken care of to thrive and absorb more CO2 emissions.

• Alaska makes a profit on the sale.

• The company books lower emissions.

Everybody’s happy.

Except people who always find something to complain about.

A massive market in the making

The global carbon offset market is growing, and it’s growing fast.

But as it grows, scrutiny is beginning to grow, too.

It’s all too easy to buy a chit that says you’re investing in a forest being preserved, but can you know this is really the case?

This is one of the concerns about Alaska’s plan that many skeptics rational humans have.

The other concern is whether enough companies would want to buy Alaskan offsets.

With all the new emission-cutting regulations the Biden administration is pushing — there probably are companies looking to buy these carbon credits.

If the U.S. federal government gets its way, companies will simply have no choice.

Talk about a low-risk business.
