Is “Fossil Fuel Divestment” The Stupidest Idea Ever?

McKitten is flying around the country telling college campuses to divest from fossil fuels.

If these students had to live without fossil fuels for one hour, they would probably start a riot. The real purpose of McKitten’s work is to generate anger and hatred against the people who keep America running.

Climate Consensus? What Climate Consensus? - Energy Tribune

[Peter Glover] The myths of popular science have a nasty habit of running ahead of the real story by a decade or two. They are difficult to dislodge. It has always been thus. Take the myth that global warming (GW) is today a feature of current global climate activity. Whatever the reason for it, GW hasn’t been happening for 16 years – and not a single computer model predicted it. Then there is the breaking news that the global sea ice area is above normal – and that in the midst of the Antarctic summer. Not exactly been mainstream news has it? But then, as both stories run counter to the prevailing consensus and popular myth, that’s not surprising.

...A consensus view in science has always been a fragile thing. Single heretical views have an history of entirely overturning the prevailing consensus. But in the case of AGW, with global warming having been shown conclusively to have slumped to a 16-year halt, the alleged ‘science consensus’ is becoming blatantly exposed. The trenches now are mostly populated by green ideologues, a left-dominated media, and bureaucrats who are usually the last to grasp the realities.
