Renowned historian Neil Oliver recently made some bold statements about the climate change movement, calling it a “massive con” driven not by environmental concerns, but by greed. In a passionate speech, Oliver warned that the push for renewable energy sources and the demonization of traditional fossil fuels will only lead to economic hardship and potential disaster for society.
Oliver criticized the notion that sacrificing modern conveniences such as cars, gas boilers, and air travel will save the planet. He argued that the push for renewable energy sources like wind turbines and solar panels will not provide the reliable energy needed for civilization to thrive. Instead, he warned that embracing these technologies could lead to a new dark age, with energy shortages and widespread poverty.
“It’s just crazy. Such energy will cost a huge amount of money, and our people will live in poverty thanks to it,” Oliver said. “Politicians don’t care about this, they don’t care about their own population at all. It can be called genocide.”
Oliver’s words may be controversial, but they highlight the need for a balanced approach to addressing climate change. While it is important to reduce carbon emissions and transition to cleaner energy sources, it is equally important to consider the economic and social consequences of these actions. Sacrificing the well-being of entire populations in the name of environmentalism is not a sustainable solution.
It is important to have open and honest discussions about the best way to combat climate change without sacrificing the well-being of communities. Oliver’s remarks serve as a reminder that the drive for renewable energy should not come at the expense of human lives and livelihoods. The path to a sustainable future requires thoughtful consideration of all factors involved, not just environmental concerns.
