Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) is quite obviously a sham. It does not produce anything of real economic value. Like the derivatives that led to the 2008 financial crash, the economic value of CCS is very much an illusion, which will likely bring about another disaster in its wake, whether financial or otherwise. Nor does it benefit the environment, as carbon dioxide is not causing rapid warming of the planet. As we noted once before here at The Hayride, CO2 levels rise in response to rising temperatures, not the other way around.
There is thus no good reason for enormous amounts of money to be ‘invested’ in CCS. Why, then, is it being promoted so heavily? Because it furthers the cause of globalist control of mankind (and worse, as we shall see), a process termed technocracy by a relentless researcher into it, Patrick Wood.
The New World Order types began ballyhooing about CO2 in 1968 at a meeting of the Club of Rome. They published the findings of their research in a 1972 book, The Limits of Growth, in which to no one’s amazement they wrote breathlessly (cue Rush Limbaugh’s mock panting) about CO2 ‘causing irreversible changes in the earth’s climate’ (p. 81, PDF version; available as a free download here).
The vilifying of carbon dioxide, which is essential to the flourishing of plants and the production by them in turn of the oxygen that people and animals need, has produced in our own day things like carbon credits to offset one’s carbon footprint:
‘CERs [Certified Emission Reductions—W.G.] are units (carbon credits) issued by UNFCCC, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent. Anyone can purchase these units on this platform to compensate (or offset) emissions and/or to support these projects. They can be used by individuals, businesses and organizations to reach carbon neutrality by compensating their footprints, while they help project developers to continue to finance their green projects. The prices per unit are set by project developers, who also receive the full profits from the sale of the units directly: UN Climate Change is not a party to the CER cancellation contract between purchaser and provider. The platform is free of charge, for both buyers and sellers’ (‘United Nations Carbon Offset Platform,’ unfccc.int).
Some of these scams/schemes remain voluntary, for the moment. But they are swiftly moving into the realm of mandatory participation. In Europe, for example:
‘Starting in 2027, the European Union will expand its emissions trading system (ETS) into new territory with the launch of ETS2. While the original ETS primarily targeted heavy industry and power plants, ETS2 directly impacts ordinary citizens — their homes, their cars, their daily lives. Under the guise of ’saving the climate,’ the EU will steadily make gasoline, diesel, and gas for heating more expensive. But let’s be honest: ETS2 has very little to do with protecting the environment. It is about economic control, wealth redistribution, and the consolidation of power among banks, large corporations, governments, and the European Commission.
‘Formally, everything remains ‘voluntary.’ You may continue driving a gasoline car. You may continue heating your home with natural gas. But every choice that deviates from the state’s ‘sustainability goals’ will become economically unbearable. This is not a direct expropriation of property, but it is economic subjugation through price pressure, regulation, and redistribution of the proceeds. Instead of free choices, citizens and companies are financially forced to adopt government-approved behavior’ (Rob Roos, ‘Freedom in the EU? Only if You Can Afford It,’ europeanconservative.com).
Where is all of this heading, someone may be wondering? Patrick Wood gives an indication:
‘The deathly economic state of today’s world is a direct reflection of the sum of its sick and dying currencies, but this could soon change. Forces are already at work to position a new Carbon Currency as the ultimate solution to global calls for poverty reduction, population control, environmental control, global warming, energy allocation and blanket distribution of economic wealth. Unfortunately for individual people living in this new system, it will also require authoritarian and centralized control over all aspects of life, from cradle to grave. What is Carbon Currency and how does it work? In a nutshell, Carbon Currency will be based on the regular allocation of available energy to the people of the world. If not used within a period of time, the Currency will expire (like monthly minutes on your cell phone plan) so that the same people can receive a new allocation based on new energy production quotas for the next period. Because the energy supply chain is already dominated by the global elite, setting energy production quotas will limit the amount of Carbon Currency in circulation at any one time. It will also naturally limit manufacturing, food production and people movement. Local currencies could remain in play for a time, but they would eventually wither and be fully replaced by the Carbon Currency, much the same way that the Euro displaced individual European currencies over a period of time.
