Paris Climate Talks: Lots of Hot Air

I think the most environmentally effective way for those convening in Paris for climate crisis would have been by hot air balloon.  Too bad all the hot air being released in Paris by politicians could not be captured and contained for such a cause.

Wait.  I'm not all sour over the world governments getting together to discuss destroying ourselves and what to do about it.  Big picture wise I'm glad it's happening.  No country is immune.  One planet.

I know....., (thinks Johnny Politician), .......let's throw BILLIONS of dollars into "clean energy."  Yup.  That will do it.  Solar, wind (there's that word again -- wind), water, etc.  "Clean energy" is such a catchy phrase.  It's certainly a feather on the cap in regards to political standing in the polls.  It makes me look goooooooooood to the public.

Let's take this 'clean energy' one step beyond.  Unless you are growing Teslas and charging stations on your urban roof top garden, do tell, just how are these things manufactured?  Precisely what resources are being used to manufacture green?  Even if burning fossil fuels is obliterated from the face of the earth, what's the real net effect of creating 'clean energy' on the environment when it's all said and done?  Manufacturing plants are still required.  It's just that the strategy of hiding this process in China is no longer working.   I have yet to see a manufacturing plant that was 'organically' grown on a farm using all 'organic' products.

We are just on the cusp of figuring out that we can't have our cake and eat it, too.  We can't have the convenience of a post-industrial revolution world without harming the environment.  I don't care what anybody says except for Russell.  Sorry, but the Native Americans saw this coming a long, long time ago and warned us.  However, I will save my rant for tribe gambling casinos for another time.
