Interesting indeed. It seems that the powers in the "Police State of China", ( and certainly it IS a police state) are hoping to move toward having the country become an actual Utopia. It will be very "interesting" to see how that plays out. I can recall a previous similar effort by Chairman Mao, a while back. What I find difficult to recall is how that made any improvement in life for the citizens of the country. Does anybody recall what improvements resulted???
Certainly this article is entertaining, although that was probably not the intent. The fact is that gold remains a good hedge against inflation, and inflation is certainly upon us, no matter how much the lies are repeated.
Really, the push for "greener" energy is a big portion of pricing energy beyond the reach of much of the undeveloped parts of the world, forcing floks to continue using far less healthy, more labor intensive, and more polluting sources of energy. In addition, expensive and unavailable energy results in continuing health problems and much shorter life spans for a whole lot of people.
Perhaps we should rather learn to live with a slightly warmer climate, such as the world had back in the previous temperature cycle. Consider that there must have been a lot of trees and jungle in the areas where all that coal is located underground. And it is rather obvious that trees do not grow in ice.
Quite a brilliant article/essay indeed. But I do see what I consider an error: "a funny-money game that will go horribly wrong." I see that funny-money game as having ALREADY having gone horribly wrong. It just has not hit home yet.
My personal stratagy isto have an adequate skill set to be able to barter my way along no matter what the buying power of the currency my fall to. Rather primative, and quite pre-industrial, but a rather sound approach, given that skill sets can not be siezed conveniently.
It needs to be understood that even if the emission of carbon dioxide were reduced to ZERO, that would not do anything at all to reduce the quantity already present.
Fortunately there is a system for removing it and releasing oxygen, which is green forests. Unfortunately, aggressive deforesting has been going on for quite a while. So the only "fix" is reforesting.
One more problem is that all the other sources of energy cost a lot more, and so by removing the less expensive source it is condeming the much less developed areas to reamain much less developed. Improved living requires energy for things like light and pumping clean water. BUT that is evidently not important to those who are removing cheper enery sources. What a shame!!
