5 truths the climate cult can't bury any more

The cult's 'green future' runs on diesel, coal, and lies -- and every blackout, bailout, and broken promise exposes the con.

"Peak oil" isn't real. "Energy transition" isn't happening. And the people claiming otherwise can't even tell you the difference between a man and a woman.

Everything, everywhere, has become upside down. Wind on, wind off. Coal out, coal in. Up is down. Down is up. And the loudest activists insist we are seconds away from climate Armageddon unless we obey their every whim.

The irony is unbearable. And the truth they hate is simple: Without oil and gas, there wouldn't be a tree or whale left alive.

Natural gas displaced coal and drove down atmospheric carbon dioxide. High-rate fracking kept lights on, raised life spans, and offered Sub-Saharan Africa its only shot at
