We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.
Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. - a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR [Russ.,= self-publishing house]

Samizdata quote of the day – the climate cult The huge influxes of research funding for compliant scientists have made it difficult to oppose the fable of a threatened planet. Any scientist who speaks up against the cacophony of nonsense about a climate threat is treated like Dr Thomas Stockmann in Ibsen’s play, An Enemy of the People. Rather than being thanked for discovering that the water of his town’s popular spa is contaminated with deadly disease organisms, Dr Stockman and his family are viciously ostracised by most of the town’s citizens, who are making a good living by promoting the supposed health benefits of the spa.
Climate nonsense will eventually end and will be dumped onto the ash heap of history where it belongs. But the longer the cult goes on, the more damage is done. We should all do what we can to stop the madness as soon as possible.

Who Are We? The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling.
We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

Even if the planet were “threatened”, it would be entirely moot.
For the simple reason that there is no legally binding executive enforcement authority above the 190 or so sovereign states in the world.
I think it will end, in fact it is already sort of going away. People don’t talk about it much and really even in britain nobody except bureacrats are even serious about net zero.
But it’ll die with a whimper not a bang. All the nonsense? Nobody will be held accountable. For example, Al Gore’s movie has proved wrong on every single one of his predictions, yet people don’t boo him or throw rotting fruit at him. He gets invited to tony conferences, and flown their on a private jet.
Look at covid for what will happen. Endless lies, horrific violations of civil rights, destroying children’s lives, unbelievable corruption and profitering. Who is going to jail? Only people in jail are those who violated the ridiculous Covid orders.
