The ECB’s latest manoeuvre, and Elderson’s accompanying rhetoric, amount to a rear-guard action by a green priesthood that senses the ground shifting but cannot bring itself to abandon the faith. Central banks need to be restored to their proper, limited mandates — low inflation, currency convertibility and financial conditions that help bring about low interest rates supportive of enterprise and economic growth.

Climate Central’s analysis should be given a failing grade, or more charitably, an incomplete. Claims that greenhouse gases alone are responsible for increasing cooling demand and household electricity bills are unpersuasive, when so many other, more direct, factors that impact households cooling costs are not controlled for.

Instead of addressing weather/climate rationally, everything bad is blamed on fossil fuels so that politicians continually make bad decisions and resources are diverted away from where they are really needed. As always, climate change alarmism is more damaging than global warming.

This shows variability that would indicate—as we see with the monster El Niños—an occurrence due to a cumulative buildup and then a response. We are asked to believe that we are now the cause of what has happened every other time without our input. We cannot know for certain that it is not, but history shows us it should be questioned.

Instead of focusing on China's shiny clean energy activities—which, while impressive in scale, remain largely additive rather than transformative—the developed world, particularly Europe, should take a page out of China's energy security playbook and fortify its fossil fuel supply chains rather than using the Iran war as yet another excuse to double down on ill-conceived decarbonization policies.
