It's so artful in its imitation of the form of a lot of genuine climate and economic doomerism that gets published on the net, that it's easy to miss that it tends to always come back around in the end to the same handful of highly dubious conclusions:

  1. The UK trying to move away from fossil fuels is a horrifying blunder which is sure to lead to economic disaster
  2. Specifically, it needs to start buying Russian oil and gas again
  3. Oh by the way, the war in Ukraine is a bad idea

Draw whatever conclusions you like.

Russia has been buying thousands of domains and writing AI generated slop to push it’s interests in the west. So this might be part of that.
