No; the new director of the  World Bank is not "elite"; and a new generation of financiers is seeking new solutions as required in a climate constrained world.

Wrong on both counts, as expected from a blind 'survival of the fittest' ideologue.

This will be funny (or more likely,  excruciating), coming from a blind "personal sovereignty" ideologue:

Correct, and like Fraud Diver, you do too.

Ok, I withdraw that example. So we must rely on  the new generation of financiers/economists who are seeking new solutions as required in a climate-constrained world.

"[Six of the six] great ice ages started when we had more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere than now.
We have 0.04% of that gas in the atmosphere...
Well that means nothing to me, because the atmosphere has changed in its carbon dioxide content from over 20% to now, which is really low in geological time.
If we halved it, all plant life would die, and animals would die."

Not really, I moved on for the sake of the argument: we don't know yet whether the new World Bank chief is a reformer or not.

The CCP is the only government which has recomitted to "common prosperity" (after  China's dabbling in typical Western-type 'housing for investment' policies led to the Evergrande collapse; which is why Xi recently reaffirmed "houses are for living in".

And common prosperity means eliminating the tents occupied by the homeless  on city streets, as we see in major cities in the US, despite the US's 5 times per capita GDP.   

Quote:


China has created the world's largest middle class in the shortest time in history. As for the 600 million still in relative poverty - imagine the situation in India whose GDP, and GDP per capita, is only about a fifth China's figures, for roughy the same population in both countries. A mere 5 decades ago India was richer than China.

And Plimer doesn't get a mention. Dummy.

If there is no climate emergency, and the IPCC Physical Science Basis says there is not, there is no need to rush headlong into intermittent power supplies.

As the first week of the COP28 climate talks were winding up in Dubai earlier this month Andrew Forrest managed to secure Joe Biden’s chief climate diplomat, John Kerry, as guest of honour at a party on his ship docked in Dubai Harbour.


Phew... thank God it wasn't his private jet.

    Greens leader splurges on printing
    Adam Bandt also took private jets

Greens leader Adam Bandt has come under fire for racking up an expenses bill
of almost $1million a year, including hundreds of thousands on printing and two private jet flights.

The anti-fossil fuel campaigner also claimed $12,000 on a taxpayer-provided vehicle and petrol allowance plus $29,000 on government COMCAR trips and taxis, according to figures from the Department of Finance.


Despite his party's core policy of cutting C02 emissions Mr Bandt used two private jets during the 2022 election campaign, landing tax payers with the $23,000 bill.

One flight was between Queensland regional centres Townsville and Rockhampton on March 7.



However, he also took a a $15,000 private plane along the well-travelled Brisbane to Canberra route to attend his party's election campaign launch.

During the year Mr Bandt also spent $57,000 for domestic flights on himself and an eye-watering $372,000 in travel expenses for his 21 staff.

The $963,166 in expenses racked up by Mr Bandt are on top of his $314,000 salary and do not include the wages of his personal staff.

For his personal vehicle use, it is understood Mr Bandt is renting a hybrid model.

Independent MP Dai Le questioned why Mr Bandt used private flights on well-serviced commercial routes considering his climate stance.

'I'm shocked by the news of parliamentarians overspending and surprised by the Greens use of chartered flights when they are the party that opposed the use of fossil fuels,' she told the Daily Telegraph.
