OK, so you're a peak oiler who is also a climate change denier. What little credibility you had just went out the window.

...the elite knows
Yet another conspiracy theory nut. Why does the whole world have to tilt towards this?
Please drop the pretense that you're smarter than the average bear, will you? Your brain is just getting suckered into the all-too-convenient boogeymanism that so many others cling to as a crutch to avoid dealing with problems outside of human control.
1. I want to deal with problems, but if you want me to deal with problems, first I must know what problems we have. Also, already Heraclit said, panta rhei, everything changes. Problems change too.
2. A reasonable person can change his mind. A true believer cannot. Until now, I haven't even taken a position on the anthropogenic global warming. Now these new data allowed me to take a position.
There was global warming in 20th century. But it was the sun-driven warming.
3. I am the last person to be named a "conspiracy theorist". But the research has compelled me to believe that the elite has more power than allowed by an official narrative. Nevertheless I do not believe - like many true conspiracy theorists - that this power is unlimited or satanic in nature.
My impression is that the elite likes to drive society with narratives that are essentially religious in character: global warming, racism, feminism, islamophobia, multiculturalism etc. Such narratives create true believers, i.e. zealots.
