The Methane That Made Us
Methane didn’t just light our stoves—it lit the fuse of life itself. Before plants, before sunlight, before cells, Earth burped out the chemistry that made us. And it still does. Demonized today, methane is in fact the most fundamental, renewable force on this planet. This is the molecule that farts existence into motion.

Wine, Weather, and Climate Dogma
Climate change is not a modern invention. Rome’s vineyards, medieval abundance, and the frozen misery of the Little Ice Age all testify to natural cycles far grander than human industry. Warmth has always been the ally of civilization; cold its executioner. Yet we kneel before a narrative that mistakes carbon for original sin.

Life after Reliable Energy
When electricity fails, civilization doesn’t vanish in an explosion—it rots in silence. Refrigerators warm, tempers fray, and the glowing idols of our age flicker out. What follows isn’t drama, but decay: food spoils, order falters, and trust collapses. Life after reliable energy is less apocalypse, more suffocation. And it’s already begun.

Around the World in 80 Kilometers
Once, the world shrank—compressed by coal, oil, and jet fuel into something you could circumnavigate between Friday lunch and Sunday dinner. Today’s prophets of progress promise a “green future,” but without hydrocarbons, the globe will swell monstrous again. Air travel dies, cities starve, and eighty kilometers will feel as impossible as Jules Verne’s eighty days.

The Flickering Future
Imagine civilization run on applause instead of physics. We traded coal for candles, stability for sentiment, grids for flicker power. The activists cheered, the elites clapped, and the engineers warned in vain. What follows is not utopia but feudalism, not freedom but rationing. And when the lights finally go out, you’ll know why.

Oil Farming and the Gospel of Grit
Shale is not a miracle—it’s a mindset. While rentier states gorge on legacy wealth, a new generation of oil farmers is emerging: dirty boots, data dashboards, and no patience for grand illusions. They don’t pray for oil—they milk it, year after year. This is the gospel of grit. The future bleeds, sweats, and iterates.

NOPEC’s last battle
In 1973, OPEC discovered the oil lever — a weapon that could make the world tremble without firing a shot. For decades, it worked. But every empire rots from within. Addiction to easy money, the rise of shale, and the limits of fear have left the cartel fighting a final, unwinnable war.

The Holy Church of Climatology
Out of that revelation grew today’s climate gospel: a cult that forbids doubt, sells fear, and feeds empires. The Holy Church of Climatology thrives not on science, but on obedience—and its altar burns hotter than Venus itself.

The Carbon Heresy
Carbon has been recast as villain, the black sheep of our molecular family. Yet without it, no oceans would teem, no forests would rise, no breath would ever have filled your lungs. To wage war on carbon is not science but theology—a death cult that confuses the rooster for the sunrise.

Good Morning, Thermometer!
Robin Williams once made us laugh about jungles hot enough to fry monks in their robes. Today, the same weather is repackaged as apocalypse. Temperature isn’t a divine decree—it’s a negotiation, massaged into “records” by those with careers to protect. If we’ve lost our ability to laugh at this theater, we’re already cooked.
