If you think your values don’t permit banning Nazis as a political entity, you either don’t understand your values or your values are wrong.
All decent worldviews have space for banning Nazis.

Ah yes fossil fuels: increasingly being shipped through narrow, vulnerable and extremely unreliable chokepoints.

Definitely the thing we need to increase reliance upon for Energy Security™

Every single company, government or individual celebrating the IEA's new fossil-explosion scenario is also celebrating the heating of earth by three bloody degrees:
1.2.2 Temperature outcomes in the scenarios The long-term global average rise in temperatures above pre-industrial levels was around 1.4 °C in 2024 and since 1980 has been increasing by around 0.2 °C per decade. All scenarios exceed warming of 1.5 °C by around 2030, but differences in climate outcomes between the WEO scenarios begin to emerge after 2035. In the CPS, warming exceeds 2 °C around 2050, reaches 2.9 °C in 2100, and is set to keep rising from there (Figure 1.5). Figure 1.5 ▷ Global average temperature rise, and annual emissions reductions from peak to 2035 in past NZE Scenario editions Temperature rise (°C) Annual emissions reductions (Gt) 3.0 CPS STEPS 0.5 2.5 2.0 1.5 1.0 NZE 1.5 1.0 2.0 0.5 2.5 NZE NZE NZE NZE NZE 2000 2020 2040 2060 2080 2100 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 IEA. CC BY 4.0. The average temperature rise reaches 2.9 °C in 2100 in the CPS, 2.5 °C in the STEPS, and in the NZE Scenario it peaks at around 1.65 °C in 2050 and falls below 1.5 °C in 2100 Notes: Gt gigatonnes. CPS = Current Policies Scenario; STEPS = Stated Policies Scenario; NZE = Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario; NZE 20xx = NZE Scenario in the World Energy Outlook of the specified year. The figure shows median long-term average global temperature anomaly relative to 1850-1900 and matches the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Sixth Assessment Report definition of warming of 0.85 °C between 1995-2014. 2 Sources: IEA analysis based on MAGICC 7.5.3 and IPCC (2022).
