1. Grifters are going to grift. There’s a lot on money in the fossil fuel industry and lots for them to lose as part of the transition. Paying Farage to be their mouthpiece is a tiny price for them.

2. Who would pay $50,000 for a politician who will have no effect on government with huge majority? They got scammed.

3. This is the IPCCs fossil fuel development pathway in a nutshell. I’ve heard it many times from people I know in that industry: free markets are the fastest way to prosperity and fossil fuels make that possible. They look at transition somewhat like killing the goose that lays golden eggs. That pathway, according to IPCC results in RCO 8.5 watts per sqm, and around 4.3 c warming. The response under that bau is ‘adaptation’ all along, which, by nature of the outcomes, fails for everyone except the extremely rich now hiding in bunkers. Yes, that Blade Runner.

4. I always figured these people were being funded by the fossil fuel industry. I mean, one can’t miss the fact that these movements sprung up right after the global environmental movement started getting going, and hit their peak right as the environmental movement died.
