Politico just released their inaugural Green 28 list. This list is constructed to rank the 28 individuals with the most influence on the European Union’s sustainability, environmental, mobility, climate and energy policies. Vladimir Putin was awarded the top spot on the list. Russia holds a stronghold on energy exports within Europe.
Without looking at why this is the case, Politico gleefully agues that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine will force a green revolution.
Andy Singer, Linnea Lueken, and Anthony Watts discuss the POLITICO Green 28 list on the newest episode of Climate Change Roundtable.

The result will be exactly the opposite. Western countries will be forced to use gas, coal and nuclear to keep the lights on. Should the “leadership” not do this, they will not be in office.
How can green activists be so stupid?
The terrible damage that this bastard Putin has inflicted on the Ukraine and the death toll in that country , and these idiots are calling him some sort of hero .
They are brainless and they are dangerous if they think that Putin,s invasion and the destruction that he has done to the country is good .
What are their goals ?
Obviously they are against the human race if they applaud restricting energy supplies to any country which can only lead to misery and deaths during the coming cold winter .
All people that think like this should all move to some new green utopia and set up a commune to show the world how we all should live with out fossil fuel or at least using less than any other country in the world .
All imported goods and food would be assessed and the emissions from growing, manufacturing and transporting from elsewhere would be assessed against the new green blob countries emission profile .
They would never do this as they would have to work extremely long hours just to grow food .
How can green activists be so stupid?
Well you can’t really deny their thinking when they’ve been groomed with the dooming from knee high to a grasshopper-

Emmanuel Micron isn’t even telling countries benefiting France’s energy solidarity:
“Never. Close. A. Nuke. Again. For. Political. Purpose.”
I say EU unity is a OK iff every country invests on fission.
This winter the Germans will be experimenting on people, yet again. This time, the Zero Carbon experiment. For a change, its is willing subjects who have voted for it.
Ve hev vays to mek you shiver.
And I suppose Politico would double their recognition if Putin uses nuclear weapons. Fewer people to clothe, feed and keep warm, plus a bit of added heat for the coming Ukrainian winter. What kind of dim bulbs run this site?
Useless fools! The Climate feint behind the neomarxist putsch for an elitist NWO, was already headed for the crash test dummy wall at vaporizing speed before the Rus-Uke war. Putin just gave the coup de grace to a terminally stupid meme. Trust these designer-brained wastrels to not only fail to see this extinction event so painfully obvious to ordinary folk in Germany and UK, but to see it as a big win for their fervid dreams.
Given the willfull blindness to reality, I expect Europe and the US to double-down on their failed Net-Zero decarbonization policies. So yeah, sure, Vlad wins.
Unless voters wake up. It’s still possible the Republicans won’t blow the election and will take both houses of Congress. That will slow things down but not stop the bullshit. How about an unlikely filibuster-proof majority in the senate? They will need new leadership to boot.
Isn’t that what they wanted? How can they be mad? Technically NATO kickstarted the recent reduction. Maybe the award lies with them.
If Putin didn’t exist our enemies would have to invent him.
I love seeing this from Google search every time:

I think Politico may be right in a regional sense and completely wrong on a global sense. It may force a “green revolution” in the sense that cutting off natural gas to Europe will cause the continent to de-industrialize. If the gas shortages last a couple of years, this might be a permanent transition and Europe will likely lower their carbon emissions. It will likely cause substantial changes for working class people in manufacturing, particularly in energy intensive industries so the standard of living for many people will be reduced as a result. But we all know that the gas not being sold to Europe is being sold in Asia and the biggest beneficiaries will likely be China and India. The natural gas and oil pipelines are already being expanded to make efficient connections. The good news is that natural gas has lower carbon emissions than coal in industrial production but if China increases its substantial market share for the energy intensive products because of cost advantages of Russian gas, Asia may still be burning a great deal of coal and just use gas for increasing production capacity and overall, Net global emissions might not change much at all, they may have just moved 5 or 6 times zones east.
We were told this was GLOBAL warming .
Cutting emissions in one part of the world and releasing them on the other side of the world will not affect the worlds climate one iota.
But for that matter adding more CO2 and methane to the atmosphere will have no measurable effect as the levels are virtually saturated and overlapped with water vapour .
Man cannot control the weather except maybe some cloud seeding to get some more rain .
Any outfit that prints this sort of rubbish should be told that they are irrelevant and stupid and the weight of public opinion shoul put them put of business .
They must be using some kind of Hegelian dialectical logic.
No. Just magical thinking and other aspects of refusing to live in THIS reality. “I reject your reality and substitute my own”. A quote from a different context but one that so very well describes our current woke crowd – climatistas and all.
Did they account for all the environment damage caused by all the tanks and equipment that the Russians have left littered throughout the countryside?
If the logic is :
Then they are right. But it’s useless rhetoric.
So Politico are anti-human, sadistic fascists and Putin, a dictator who promotes brutal assaults on civilians, systematized rape and torture, and flagrant invasion of an independent nation without cause is their role model. Explains a lot.
