Hon. Thaddeus G. McCotter: Where Is the Climate Cult’s Outrage at Genocidal Communist China?

 In Sherlock Holmes’ MemoirsOne finds the case of “Silver Blaze”The following is an example of the “curious incident of the dog in the night-time”:
 

Because no stranger was around, the dog did not make any noise. As Holmes explains: “I had grasped the significance of the silence of the dog, for one true inference invariably suggests others…. Obviously the midnight visitor was someone whom the dog knew well. It was Straker who removed Silver Blaze from his stall and led him out on to the moor.”

The sum of all the “dog that didn’t bark” This is shorthand for situations in which a claim is discredited or disproven because a fact that would logically be in evidence is missing or deliberately omitted.

Speaking of logic – or, more accurately, the absence thereof – enter the febrile hive-minds of the elitist caricature that is the World Economic Forum (WEF). As Breitbart reported, in their annual gaggle to make the world safe for autocracy to protect their money, power, and privilege from we peons, there was a discordant Greek chorus of Philippics, calumnies, and condemnations of carbon emissions, fossil fuels; and dire warnings that the failure to act with catholic alacrity to stanch the climate apocalypse is perpetuating a “planetary crisis” spurring “mass extinction” that puts “humanity’s future at risk.” Per the ravings of Mr. Al Gore:
 

“We’re still putting 162 million tons [of greenhouse gas pollution into the atmosphere] every single day, and the accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat as would be released by 600,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding every single day on the Earth.

“That’s what’s boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers, and the rain bombs, and sucking the moisture out of the land and creating the droughts, and melting the ice and raising the sea level, and causing these waves of climate refugees, predicted to reach one billion in this century.

“Look at the xenophobia and political authoritarian trends that have come from just a few million refugees. What about a billion? We would lose our capacity for self-governance on this world.”
 

One cannot note how Mr. Gore leavens his rant with the rich irony that humanity will lose its “capacity for self-governance” if we do not cede our liberty and prosperity to the World Economic Forum’s “one percent” and their political, bureaucratic, and journalistic courtiers. But, apparently, there is no time for such digressions. After all, “we have to act” to “save the future.”
Evidently, “we” is not as inclusive as one might think, especially when faced with a climate apocalypse that has humanity teetering on the edge of history’s dumpster. For while the world’s western democracies must toss their freedom and prosperity into the volcano to appease a fevered Goddess Gaia, guess who doesn’t? Communist China.
The stark dichotomy in energy policies between the United Kingdom and communist China is instructive. Once more, per Breitbart, a report from Oxford University’s Our World in Data project determined, “Communist China has emitted more carbon dioxide over the past eight years than the United Kingdom has since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution.” Specifically, the study found:
 

“According to researchers at the University of Oxford, the United Kingdom has emitted 78 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide between 1750 and 2020, however, this pales in comparison to the recent output from Communist China, which has emitted some 80 billion tonnes since just 2013.”

“Since 1990, the UK has reduced its carbon dioxide output the fastest among any other industrialised nation, with CO2 emissions falling by 54.8 per cent over the thirty year time frame… Meanwhile, China has seen its carbon emissions increase by a staggering 329 per cent during the same time period….”
Hence the crux of the matter: if climate change constitutes an impending existential threat to humanity, the WEF would be exhorting and exerting every means at its disposal to stop communist China’s carbon emissions spree. Where are the WEF condemnations – let alone the calls for economic and diplomatic sanctions – on this communist climate pariah imperiling the rest of us? Why isn’t the WEF’s climate apocalypse’s dog barking at communist China?

Obviously, one reason is that the genocidal Beijing regime would not care. Oh, they may give lip service to the climate cult, but they have no intention of slowing their economic growth. Even if they wanted to do so, they could not. The Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) tacit agreement with their captive people is that, in exchange for their citizens’ liberty, they will provide prosperity and security. The steep declines in Chinese prosperity caused by abiding the requisite climate change being foisted upon developed, democratic Western nations to remedy an “existential threat to humanity” would constitute an existential threat to the rule of the CCP. Guess which one the CCP cares about more?

Another rationale is the one that makes a person a WEF elitist in good standing: a boatload of money. Economic ties with genocidal communist China have proven good for many members of the WEF. Though those heady days of profit raking may have peaked post-COVID, the WEF’s members have a stake in ensuring they recoup their remaining investments. As a correspondent related: “The reality is as China’s economy collapses, its investment firms like BlackRock sending billions into China to prop them up.”

The curious result is that global investment entities who tout their support of environmental, social, and governance standards (and cost their customers money to do so) to stanch climate change by refusing to invest in new sources of traditional energy are quite happy to invest in fossil fuel consuming, earth polluting, carbon-spewing genocidal communist China. Less curious, then, is the fact the China Energy Fund is a WEF co-sponsor.

In the end, as Holmes would note: the WEF’s climate apocalypse’s dog is not barking at communist China, because it is begging for treats. This inconvenient truth belies the impending climate apocalypse; evinces that this alleged “crisis” isn’t about controlling the climate; it’s about controlling you; and if the WEF gets its elitist way, the only impending “mass extinction event” will be of your liberty and prosperity.
