The UK government has been shutting down their nuclear and coal fired power plants, which has made electricity unaffordable for millions of people – and they call people who protest their malfeasance “irresponsible.”

The UK government has a solution though. They are changing the definition of fuel poverty.
“the Government projects that fuel poverty will continue to decline in England in 2021 and 2022 despite very large increases in prices. This is due to a number of different factors including how fuel poverty is defined in England,”
Those poor fools. If predictions about the current grand solar minimum are correct, this northern winter and winters to come for at least two decades, will see increasing deaths due to cold and starvation.
If true, then it can’t happen soon enough. If seems that only a severe punch of reality can cause most humans to wake up from their fantasies. The people in the deepest trances are the elected leaders. The citizens need to wake them up. This winter would be a good time for mobs of peoples to get wake up callings and personally deliver the message to their governments.
“The daily beatings will continue until moral improves.”
a major study published in April found that the burning of fossil fuels—in particular, coal—killed as many as 8.7 million people worldwide in 2018.
This was from the Forbes article. I’m having a hard time believing that number of people were killed by fossil fuels. Did anyone do a study on how many lives were SAVED by the burning of fossil fuels?
I can guarantee that their analysis is laughable and unprovable. This kind of analysis makes all kinds of assumptions and estimates based on unproven theories. And as you have said they didn’t take into consideration how many people would have died from cold, from starvation, from heat, from unsanitary water, from lack of sanitation in general- all of these systems rely on fossil fuels at some point in their delivery.
Ask them to name a few, and provide their death certificates.
