B-Man Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 So you're saying that retreating glaciers reveal previous human habitat ? You're saying, in fact, that glaciers were smaller than this very recently, in geological terms? You’re saying the entire Anthropogenic Global Warming boondoggle is a scam?

OCinBuffalo Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Actually, many of the auto companies just went bankrupt. I owned whole foods and they were bought out by Amazon. I got a decent little bonus but nothing out of the world. And I do own some GE But the government should do much more Yeah, because they didn't compete well enough or innovate. Henry Ford was called a lunatic for paying his workers so much. Some industrialists even tried to drive him out of business because of it. Then, he was called a genius when he specifically designed and made a car that his own workers could afford to buy. So, am I supposed to be feel bad for the other auto companies that didn't have Ford's talent/vision? Am I supposed to feel bad for the buggy-whip makers who lost their jobs due to the car? F No. The government cannot create talent/vision, no matter how much $ it spends. If you find somebody with real talent, who has applied it to solar panels, or algae, (forget wind, that's over), or cold fusion, or whatever: invest. The biggest lie that Global Warming people tell is that there's a pretend "desert" in 2nd round financing, and if only more 2nd rounds were approved, we'd have tons of alternative energy. Here's the truth: almost all of the alternative energy startup fails occur because they fail to prove their concept, or show their model isn't feasible. Thus, nobody will finance a 2nd round. 9/10 times there is no real talent/vision involved. What there was, under Bush and Obama, was corporate welfare, via matching funds for alternative energy startups, which massively reduced risk, but kept reward the same. What there was: a bunch of opportunists who knew they'd get paid either way, fail or no fail, for launching a "green energy" startup, and enough idiot movie stars to throw their $/D congress people from 2006-2010 to throw the taxpayer's $, at them, with no due diligence at all.

B-Man Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 THE SCIENCE IS SETTLED — OR ELSE: Calls to punish skeptics rise with links to climate change, hurricanes. Calls to punish global warming skepticism as a criminal offense have surged in the aftermath of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, but it hasn’t discouraged climate scientists like Judith Curry. A retired Georgia Tech professor, she argued on her Climate Etc. website that Irma, which hit Florida as a Category 4 hurricane on Saturday, was fueled in large part by “very weak” wind shear and that the hurricane intensified despite Atlantic Ocean temperatures that weren’t unusually warm. That is the kind of talk that could get policymakers who heed her research hauled before the justice system, if some of those in the climate change movement have their way. “Climate change denial should be a crime,” declared the Sept. 1 headline in the Outline. Mark Hertsgaard argued in a Sept. 7 article in the Nation, titled “C limate Denialism Is Literally Killing Us,” that “murder is murder” and “we should punish it as such.” Shut up, they explained.

The energy companies with gas, coal etc. just have the advantage now because they are scaled up to production. Solar, wind and a few others would work--are working--once they get a bigger market share and when a few more technologies make them even better, like more battery storage. The government could absolutely give the industry another boost and it would help. You think all those advances in avionics in the 40's and 50's were done alone with private industry? Nope.

B-Man Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 GLOBAL WARMING? NO SO FAST SAY SCIENTISTS! The climatistas really are a fun and lovable bunch to watch. Also pathetic. They are victims of their own doomsday scenarios of inexorably rising greenhouse gas levels and the parade of horribles soon to follow. The Paris Accord, even if fully implemented, will barely slow any future warming accord to the standard climate orthodoxy (better known as “The Consensus”). That’s why the former NASA chief climatista James Hansen called the Paris Accord “a fraud.” What do you do when, having told us for more than 20 years that “we only have ten years left” to act, the deadline passes and we haven’t got anywhere close to a pathway to stabilize (let alone reduce) carbon emissions? You change the scenario is what you do. {SNIP} What’s really going on here, of course, is that slowing the rate of predicted global warming is necessary to keep the climate cargo cult going, especially the alternative energy racket, not to mention the climate diplomacy circus. That’s what the actual Nature Geoscience article really says if you want to suffer through the whole thing. The very last sentence gives the whole game away: Our analysis suggests that ‘pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5◦C’ is not chasing a geophysical impossibility, but is likely to require a significant strengthening of the NDCs [Nationally Determined Contributions]at the first opportunity in 2020 to hedge against the risks of a higher-than expected climate response and/or economic, technical or political impediments to sustained reductions at historically unprecedented rates after 2030. Translation: Global warming models have overestimated warming, so we need to double down on global climate policy! Yeah, that’s the ticket.
