Found this via Instapundit. Long read but I think worth it.

My main concern with it is that it meshes so closely with my opinion and therefore might be an issue with Confirmation Bias:

They shall have their lives ruined, reputations and honors stripped away, labelled as heretics, and burned at the stake. How dare they speak the truth! They will make a fitting sacrifice to the Gods of scientific consensus and shall be made an example of as a warning to all others who would question the almighty IPCC and it's minions.

It isn't confirmation bias when it is true. It just means you were right and it is difficult to be more wrong than the climate activists. Transgenderism may win, but it is a really close competition.

"Eliminating fossil fuels and reducing CO2 emissions will be disastrous for the United States and the rest of the word, especially for lower-income people."

So it hurts the US and poor people. Seems to me it is all going according to plan.

<typing a bit bleary eyed and scatter brained after driving from San Antonio area back to San Dog. Did 853mi yesterday, easy day today from Tucson. Just finished unpacking/mail piles/car cleanout>

Heaven forbid we should just go back to "prairie". Which is pretty much the effect from the trend to no-till intense rotational grazing of beef, sheep, bison etc. <see also Joel Salatin> i.e. "Regenerative" grazing.

Get the ruminants out of the feedlots and onto the land. CAFO burns a lot of fuel and fertilizer. There's a lot less fuel use in the pastured approach, less CO2 released, more CO2 sequestered in the topsoil that is rebuilt. Reduced use of fertilizers (derived from Natural gas?) is another carbon "win".

CAFO meat prices have soared with fuel prices. Pastured meat not so much. The price delta between Industrial meat and Pastured has shrunk of late.
I've seen this since we buy pastured direct from rancher or through clearing houses (eg Crowd Cow, USWellness, Pasturebird).

Free range venison
To quote Austin Powers, "Yeah Baby, Yeah!"
Q: So what do you grow on your property there on the creek?
A: I have a meat garden. Intentional permaculture cultivation of deer and pig forage.
Just as soon as we get a freezer setup there in Bandera we'll get a share of local pastured Longhorn and see how that goes.

For those of y’all interested in regenerative ag, Gabe Brown does a great presentation on YouTube.

How are modern climate panic leaders any different from ancient priests who blamed the weather on the sins of mankind and demanded sacrifice from the people to appease the climate gods?

Understandable, but they are watermelons: green on the outside, red on the inside. They are just Commie/Socialists using this as a ruse to control people.
