But the best news of all is the hammering the various Green and greenish political parties of the Western world are going to be receiving at the polls, very soon, as their reward for buying irretrievably into the “global warming” hysteria.
The truck drivers are already blocking the roads in Europe, consumers are showing their hands as voters, and every left-centre party that plastered itself with the Green Label is racing to soak it off. For the foreseeable future, electoral tolerance for politicians who propose to mount more punitive taxes atop the soaring oil, will be hovering near zero. Environmentalists ought to be celebrating high oil prices -- the market is doing their work for them -- and yet they look so morose. That cheers me, too.
