Leadership is a rare quality in todays politics. As the western democracies vacillate between allowing the corporates to just take over and let the free market run rampant, other countries just allow the corporates to just take over and let the free market run rampant. It’s the defining principle of the early twenty-first century. To return to the comforting embrace of a system they call Feudalism.
That’s why it’s so encouraging for a leader to stand up and do something really positive for COAL. Donald Trump should be applauded for his heroic stance. He has lifted the game on global science deniers and fake news by recognising COAL as the single most important symbol of freedom liberty and looking to the glories of the past. A past enshrined in the principles of a free market which gave the U.S, slavery, witch burning, GOD, and the power and might of the gun.
The rest of the world, even the not terribly democratic superpowers of China and Russia are flummoxed by Trumps stand. A sure sign of LEADERSHIP.
Not since the League of Nations, has a coordinated treaty system such as the Paris Climate Agreement ever had such a good chance of failure. And yet, in spite of the barrage of criticism and the isolationist stand that should make the USA great again, there is evidence from diverse corners of the globe that a sustained applause greets the leader of the free world in his determination to resolutely go backwards.
You’d think it were North Korea, Iran, and other baddies committed to keeping the world mental? Or even the Saudi’s who are terribly interested in sticking to fossil fuels, stoning women, and fostering a really weird fucked up psycho-sexual neurotic brand of fundamentalism. They all love fossil fuels and they’ll do anything they can to stop the rot. Because, they can.
No none of the above, the most positive applause is camping from their ally in the South Pacific. Ever loyal, obedient, and subservient stands Australia. As renewables go off the scale, and COAL looks prehistoric, Australia, alone stands proud in fulsome support of Donald. And that makes us at pcbycp extremely proud.
The coalition party room has the champagne on ice. And now the corks can pop FREELY. We can breathe easy. For too long the politicians of Australia have been bullied by the climate scientists.
For too long Larry Marshall CEO of CSIRO has been doing the hard lifting of closing climate science as a research at CSIRO. And for too long have the steadfast work of Tony Abbott and Joe Hockey in closing down investment in renewables gone unsung. Now there’s a chance that Australia will be recognised the world over as the leader in putting COAL where it belongs. We have proud Queenslanders leading the way. With Adani’s mine Australia will stand as exporter of the worlds biggest filthiest, energy system. And the taxpayer will find it 100%, and any profits after sophisticated accounting, will be shipped of overseas.
Congratulations! Politicians of Australia. The COAL lobby has spoken. And loyally, You obey! You’ve ‘hurrahed’ Donald. Your epithet stands proud.
‘By looking forward, you’ve gone backwards’.
Well Done!
