Euclidean riots
The current French riots expose the total fraudulence of environmentalism. It's a classic indirect proof, applied to pocketbook issues.

For many years Gaia required diesel cars in Europe because diesel was defined as sinless and pure. Because diesel was sinless and pure, VW was permitted to rig the tests using software that tuned the engine differently when the test probes were present. As a result, diesel cars were DOMINANT in Europe.

Last year some honest technicians in the US EPA did some honest testing and caught the cheat. Kudos to them, even if they're working within a satanic agency.

Metrology. Know your baseline, calibrate your instruments. These techs knew the baseline for diesel pollution and got suspicious when the official result disagreed with their independently calibrated instruments.

After the cheating was exposed, diesel suddenly became what it ALWAYS WAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE, incurably dirtier than gasoline. The French dysgoverment switched polarity abruptly, treating diesel as Mortal Sin and taxing the hell out of it.

The current approach is correct. All finite resources should be taxed to discourage consumption, and INCURABLY DIRTY processes should be taxed more heavily. But because the dysgovernment suddenly changed the rules, people got pissed.

And there's the indirect proof.

When a process leads to two contradictory results, you can be ABSOLUTELY SURE that the process is false.

Environmentalism requires us to encourage diesel AND requires us to discourage diesel. Therefore environmentalism is a fraud.

Which we knew already, but it's always nice to have Euclid on your side.

Separate thought about software. As I observed yesterday, relying on software workarounds is a type of moral hazard. When you're using software to cheat, you're relying on ALL CONDITIONS to stay the same. Everything has to work per specs, and the official subsidies and bribes must remain in place. The VW cheaters didn't account for the existence of INDEPENDENT TESTING because they were locked into a closed circuit of official approval and bribery. When unbribed testers looked at the system, the cheat was exposed.
