Predicting when the curtain drops on Net Zero will define when you should transition your investments from the resources needed in the energy transition to the fossil fuels that'll come to our rescue once we realise Net Zero isn't plausible.
This is arguably the best interview which the infamous UK politician Nigel Farage has ever done to give you that timeframe.
Guess who's the world's third-biggest producer of copper and iron ore and the fourth-largest producer of nickel? BHP, that's who, the world's largest mining company. I am all set!
In the meantime, watch COP28 and weep. The global warming cult have finally learned their lesson and decided to hold this year's annual COP gabfest somewhere that is actually hot (it's pretty hard to get excited about global warming in freezing Stockholm, Glasgow or Warsaw).
Not that the 100,000+ all-expenses-paid participants notice it much as they are spending all their time in air-conditioned luxury, while the president for COP28, Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, is decried by some as the fox in charge of the henhouse because he is doing deals on the side for ADNOC, the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, to sell more of their oil.
As Al Jaber rightly said, "Please help me, show me the roadmap for a phase-out of fossil fuel that will allow for sustainable socioeconomic development, unless you want to take the world back into caves." He may be the only sane person in attendance at COP28. As he suggests, the climate change catastrophists would consign humanity to pre-industrial conditions — relegating those in poorer regions to misery and hunger — while tackling a phantom whose existence is dubious at best.
The full results of COP28 will be known by December 14. One can only hope that it ends in abject failure. Climate activists say it already has.
What a hoot! *)
*) In an eleventh-hour concession that will allow for a joint agreement to proceed, climate change will only apply to those who want it, with nations able to opt out of global warming if it does not fit with their plans for the future. A draft statement released at the COP28 Dubai summit this morning included the addition of an asterisk after the term ‘climate change’, with a footnote explaining that it was now optional. “This is a sensible, measured approach that will allow for progress on climate change to occur. Nations will be able to accept a level of climate change that is appropriate to them, rather than having to receive the full amount,” summit president Sultan al-Jaber said. Many countries welcomed the compromise, such as the Saudi Arabia delegation, which said it would opt out of climate change for now.
