When ideology trumps everything else, it's easy for slogans to be mistaken for solutions. True believers insist that the world conforms to their beliefs no matter how many people get thrown under the bus in the meantime. Eventually, reality catches up with them but by then the harm is done.
Sadly, reality often doesn't catch up to them, personally. They're rarely affected to any real degree by the rules they impose, and in the case of politicians, they've either moved on or people choose to overlook their failures, because "team."
Brilliant as usual, Peter! A potential point of disagreement between us: I believe Biden is already dead, he just hasn’t retired yet! Where do I learn more about geoengineering, please?
Great piece Peter. Gotta keep the gravy train of money flowing somehow, right?
On a related note, I read an article from Bloomberg this morning about EV charging in NYC. Apparently people with ICE vehicles are taking the chance of a fine to get street parking by blocking EV chargers. Not so funny for EV owners who need them, but funny to me because the city is limiting regular parking for a (currently) niche group of vehicle owners. One of the many consequences of central planning, and I believe more will be forthcoming soon

Weekend at Biden's?
I find a lot more out there about how geo-engineering is scary and we mustn't do it, but using a non-Google search engine works.

Oh. wait until June when the congestion pricing kicks in. It's already a shit storm.
I almost forgot about that! Ugh. My sincere condolences 😞
Fortunately, I don't live in NYC any more. Close, but not quite in. I rarely venture into that zone.
Unfortunately, rarely is not never. I've got a concert there late June whose "price" just went up $15.
