Nope.
Credit there goes to Putin for the invasion + U.S. for the sanctions + U.S. for destroying the Nordstream pipeline (on behalf of U.S. LNG suppliers).
There is no greater / well-funded source of self-serving propaganda than the fossil fuel industry. Maybe you'll recognize it someday.
Wall Street and the banking industry is well above Big Oil on the economic-political totem pole, and it's not even close. Blackrock and Vanguard
alone manage 20 times more assets than the valuation of the entire US oil industry. There are trillions of dollars to be made in the global carbon trade industry, monetizing, trading (and taxing) nearly all human economic activity. I don't think you're naive enough to think that the "green" agendas being pushed today by politicians like Trudeau, Macron, Rutte (who is destroying Holland's thriving agricultural sector) or Scholz are driven by idealism.
You're going to see the technocratic Big Green agenda starting to be set up in countries like Germany or Holland, where citizens will be assigned carbon passes regulating their energy use, with limits placed on airplane travel, utilities use or consumption of items like meat. The coming energy crisis in Europe along with the covid restrictions on public freedoms will be used to prime the public to this kind of top-down technocratic control grid.
