The progressive ideas being discussed at global conferences organized and attended by the self-proclaimed elite class are actually regressive ideas.
These elitists travel with their entourages via carbon-loaded jets to discuss how others around the world should reduce their carbon footprint, or the world will end.
Instead of allowing regional problems to be solved within the varying regions around the globe…these global “geniuses” intend to dictate what all MUST do to “save” the planet. They pronounce that conformity is the key to achieving a free and fair world.
However, if the actual results of how well the green new ideas the elite tout are working in the real world were looked at, one would notice that the regions that have implemented them are not meeting the energy needs of the people at a cost that is affordable. The sustainability of these forced methods are leading to more inequity.
Poor people are affected more by the high energy costs. Costs to travel to work or heat and cool their homes are increasing substantially. The global elites will not have to change their lifestyle. They can afford the skyrocketing cost. (Some elites are actually skyrocketing themselves.)
The focus should be on raising the poor people of the world to a higher standard of living, NOT lowering the living standards of the non-elites to achieve equity among the masses. This new leveled society is the one the elites long to rule over.
Yes, the “new” progressive ideas are actually regressive…leading the way to the global population being ruled by a tiny tyrannical club, a club that you need not apply to…
