Do we want to die broke?
An excerpt from the book “To not die broke” by Fabio Dragoni, Il Timone editions
“Changing the book and the way of producing it. If we want it to be read and not just published, we must ensure that it does not require more than half an hour of our time”, says Riccardo Ruggeri . Already a successful manager, brilliant writer, and revolutionary publisher. I'll say straight away that I lost this bet. But I still try to score the flag goal by summarizing the book on this page. Or little more.
The energy transition that we hear so much about is not the result of technological innovation but the consequence of a precise political choice. Which looks a lot like a religion. Carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere does not cause the damage they say. Unless you breathe it in large quantities. But almost always those who think that CO2 is dangerous in the air are enthusiastic about using the surgical or FFP2 mask stuck to their face as if to suffocate it. It remains to be demonstrated that the world's glaciers are melting. The world is not desertifying at all, but rather it is becoming increasingly greener. Agricultural production is growing and the world is not at risk of famine.
Scientists do not agree at all that humans are the cause of climate change. And consequently the claim of being able to change it in the future with wicked industrial policy choices is meaningless. Focusing only on the temperature makes no sense. As well as confusing weather and climate. The world cannot succeed in reducing its CO2 emissions, and even if it succeeded it would be useless because it increases or decreases due to its own facts, which we do not know. So-called renewables are enemies of the environment because they devastate it. They are obviously expensive and will increase our dependence on China.
But you know this. The temperatures recorded by meteorological stations are not comparable even after thirty years, let alone imagining them centuries later. The fires are not increasing. Replacing petrol or diesel cars with electric cars is impossible, unless you want to remove cars from circulation. Which is the real goal. Not hidden but declared.
Carbon dioxide today represents 0.04% of the atmosphere instead of 0.03%. And that would be enough to cause the planet to collapse. In the name of a greater good, more taxes, more laws, more bans and more controls are needed to limit their emissions. Who cares if the plants grow more lush. No one has proven that this infinitesimal increase is more influential than what the Sun can do. If you ask yourself a question, you are a denier.
We saw in 2020 that even when the planet's activity was almost completely stopped, CO2 continued to grow on its own. The reason is trivial. Geologist Ian Plimer explains it: «We put air into our lungs, where there is carbon dioxide equal to 0.04%, and we emit CO2 equal to 4% of the air that comes out of our lungs». In other words, man is the largest producer of CO2 even while lying in bed doing nothing.
Man inhales one carbon dioxide and within a second emits one hundred. We are the real producer of CO2. And once they can no longer admit that the reduction in manufacturing activity has served to reduce CO2 in the atmosphere, they will say, as they have already done, that we must cull livestock because the air and the farts they emit will lead to the collapse of the planet . And when even this will no longer be enough? Whose turn will be sacrificed, obviously in the name of a greater good?
After the Covid hysteria, here is the global warming hoax. A "global public-private fascist movement that wants a lot of technology, a lot of money and a lot of government to put a technocratic elite at the head of the world made up of them", as the American Republican congressman Jim Banks says. Already in 2020 Yuval Noah Harari, consultant to the World Economic Forum, admitted that "the Covid restrictions that have stopped entire countries will make people more open to radical changes to fight climate change". “The modern world will not be punished, because it is itself the punishment,” wrote Nicolás Gómez Dávila.
