Margaret Thatcher: Global warming provides excuse for 'worldwide, supra-national socialism' - Marita Noon

Europe’s energy policy ends up helping the economies of both Canada and the US—both of which didn’t jump into “renewables,” as the EU did. The US never signed on to the Kyoto Protocol and Canada abandoned it in 2011.

Europe doesn’t have enough wood to meet demand, so a substantial chunk of it will come from imports—which has created a booming new business in Canada and the southeastern US. Gordon Murray, executive director of the Wood Pellet Association of Canada, calls it “an industry invented from nothing.” Who would have thought that not only is the US now a net exporter of gasoline, but now we are fueling Europe with “biomass?”  [How much CO2-induced bad weather can we actually prevent by using fossil-fueled equipment to cut trees down in the southeastern US, then using a combination of fossil-fueled land vehicles and fossil-fueled ships to transport the wood to Europe to be burned?]
