Not for them, of course. They’ll continue to burn lots of oil as they scoot around the world to climate meetings. This only applies to you peasants (via Climate Depot and Watts Up With That?)
Russia crisis spurs push to cut oil use
The International Energy Agency just unveiled ideas for quickly cutting oil demand at a time when Vladimir Putin’s war on Ukraine could bring substantial loss of Russian barrels from global markets.
Why it matters: The 10-point plan comes amid IEA warnings that the war could become the biggest supply crisis in decades as countries look to isolate Russia.
It’s part of a wider reckoning in Europe — Russia’s largest market — and elsewhere over how to curb reliance on Russia while keeping markets supplied and avoiding even greater economic shocks.
Zoom in: The plan says that “immediate actions” in advanced economies could reduce global oil demand by about 2.7 million barrels per day within four months.
The US uses almost 20 million a day itself. What does 2.7 million actually mean for the globe? And the ideas?
Reducing highway speed limits by about 6 miles per hour; more working from home; street changes to encourage walking and cycling; car-free Sundays in cities and restrictions on other days; cutting transit fares; policies that encourage more carpooling; cutting business air travel; and more.
They also want to reduce your air travel, forcing you onto trains and buses. When do the elites do this? And how is this accomplished?
“Governments have all the necessary tools at their disposal to put oil demand into decline in the coming years, which would support efforts to both strengthen energy security and achieve vital climate goals,” it states.
That’s right, Government elites forcing this down your throats. Marc Morano write
“COVID 2.0 has arrived?! The 2022 International Energy Agency’s (IEA) report sounds an awful lot like an energy version of COVID lockdowns. Instead of opening America back up for domestic energy production, we are told to suffer and do with less and are prescribed the same failed lockdown-style policies we endured for COVID. It is odd how COVID ‘solutions’ also allegedly helped the climate and now the same solutions are being touted to deal with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. As a bonus, IEA tells us these measures will also help ‘achieve vital climate goals.’ Let’s simplify this: The proposed ‘solutions’ to climate change, COVID, and now the Russian war are all exactly the same — hammer the poor and middle class with more restrictions on travel, less freedom, and even more surrendering of power to unelected government regulators.
This is what I’ve been saying since 2005: the entire climate crisis scam is simply a way to force their authoritarian policies down our throat, softening it as a way to “benefit” the peasants. It’s force politics. It’s Progressivism, ie, Nice Fascism. They aren’t nice, this is for your own good.
Teach are you aware that Spencer from UAL Huntsville has changed,and now says that the recent warming over the last 35 years is now averaging almost .2 per decade (1 degree C for 50 years) which is just what 85% of the models predicted? Also, Spencer now says the warming is almost entirely from CO2 increases? Wasn’t Spencer your main man used to prove it was a hoax? You might enjoy watching potholer54 on YouTube discussing the evolution of Spencer’s estimates on te effect of CO2
This is where most of the old-line global warming deniers are transitioning to these days. They claim, like Teach, that they never denied it was warming, just the cause. Now they will start to say they’ve never questioned the CO2 principle, but now, “What’s the big deal about this miniscule amount of CO2-caused warming?”.
Now that’s weird, John-because if you look at UAH data, it shows cooling for the last 6 years. RSS, gistemp, hadcrut, and Berkeley earth all show the same.
Why did Jesus put OUR oil in bad places like Russia, Venezuela, Saudi Arabia and Iran??

Bad news Elwood. Russia, China have a boat load of shale oil that can keep them burning the wick for a 1000 years. In the meantime the majority of the world is not interested in Green energy barely able to keep their heads above water let alone worry about building wind and solar.
So in the year 2050…notice how the US LEFT continually points to this year, which coincides with the year CHINA says they will rule the world….anyway by 2050 the only countries that are energy poor and pauper nations will the The USA and Europe who have given it all up to try and save the planet while the rest of the planet will be awash in OIL and Natural Gas.
China will rule, the USA will be a pauper nation and Elwood will still be on the Pirates Cove bitching about TRUMP!!!
IF the U.S. becomes a pauper nation it will be from the actions of kleptocratic GOPhers, including the tRump crime family.
But you’re likely right that the world will continue to belch CO2 into the atmosphere causing the Earth to warm rapidly. WE hope you’re young enough to be able to enjoy the 7F increase by then, especially if your heroes in Russia and China have their way!!
Prove it’s “rapid”. J. In all these years you haven’t been able to do it yet.
Funny-“7 degree increase”. What 7 degree increase? Good luck!
This silly nonsense that the climate cultists keep throwing at us make me pine for the good old 80’s when they were all bitchin’ about the upcoming ice age, acid rain and a hole in the ozone. I guess “plant a tree” is too tame for the neogreenists. They are committed to climatecommunism and there ain’t no goin’ back.
FJB and his pervert son, the artist. LOL
