According to Dan Rather, [https://steady.substack.com/p/jimmy-carter-1924-2024 Jimmy Carter was "a man of honesty]." A major theme of the Carter presidency was to claim that we would run out of oil and everything else in ten years time. Okay, everyone makes mistakes. But Carter and his backers don't see this one as a mistake at all. Instead, they proudly claim credit as prophets of "climate change." Promoting inefficient technology was the point all along. Which apocalypse we were trying to head off was just an afterthought.
