FACT: Solar & Wind Don’t Manufacture Anything – Oil & Gas Do
Those who advocate for “leave it in the ground” and the elimination of all fossil fuels are, quite literally, bonkers. They are either ignorant of the facts, or (worse) they know the facts yet intentionally ignore them. We’d like to share the facts with you today. Your modern life is made possible solely through fossil fuels. Period. The products you use daily (including reading these words on a computer or phone) are manufactured from oil and gas (fossil fuels). Without fossil fuels, modern life is over. Done. We go back to living like the pioneers. No cars or airplanes. No plastic tubing and no life support machines in hospitals. No modern conveniences of any kind. It’s all gone.

We have incontrovertible evidence that you have been played as a dunce, a rube, if you believe burning fossil fuels leads to too much carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere, and that too much CO2 heats up the planet. For decades the left has tried to convince (force brainwash) the theory that too much CO2 causes an invisible canopy, which causes heat to be trapped, leading to global warming. Now, the very same people are claiming that too much CO2 also causes “rapid cooling” in the atmosphere, and that this cooling is even worse for Mom Earth than the effects of global warming! So we have global warming AND global cooling at the same time, from CO2, according to the “experts.”
