"If the government had not spent any tax dollars trying to mitigate climate change during the last 30 years, how much warmer would it have been and how much higher would the sea level be? The correct answer is, no measurable change"

“The U.S. political and media class have managed to turn people who are heroes into villains. For years, the fact that the United States was dependent on less than savory foreign countries was viewed as costly and dangerous for the national well-being. The problem was solved by oil-men, many with advanced degrees in geology and physics who developed fracking, horizontal drilling and other techniques for producing much more oil and gas at much lower prices, and with lower emissions. Thank goodness for realistic private businessmen rather than government/socialist talking heads who would have left the world dependent on whale oil.”

“For decades, the global Cassandras have been telling us we have only a limited number of years or it ‘will be too late.’ In 1989, the claim was that doomsday was 11 years away. The year 2000 came and went without the ‘required actions,’ and nothing changed. This past week, CNN held a seven-hour forum where the various Democratic candidates for president presented their solutions for the ‘climate crisis.’ Each one had a different cost estimate for their solution, as well as a different number of years before the world comes to the end — again, as you recall it did in 2000. Both the cost numbers and the years to the ‘end’ seem to have been untouched by reality.”



ME: You guys need to read that whole article. The author is not a Trump fan either. So many dopes are scared to death of fossil fuels which have improved the quality of life and the standard of living. They have enabled us to even better clean up the environmental messes with big machinery. Fossil fuels revolutionized the human experience on earth in every which way you can imagine. Now they are painted as evil, destructive... ...it’s ridiculous. It’s embarrassingly dumb. We wasted billions of dollars chasing climate change rainbows, but we’ve also slaughtered thousands of people every year since Congress mandated CAFE standards. Slaughtered thousands of people because of CAFE standards that turned our cars into plastic and aluminum death traps to make them lighter for fuel efficiency.
 
The US is only about 15% of the global warming cause. So even if we went to zero the problem would still remain. I can see tweaking the US economy to be more environmentally friendly, but I can't see anything as stupid as the "Green New Deal" as being practical. The pain isn't worth the gain.

You are right on the money

Bernie wants to ban drilling on public lands and fracking anywhere. He also wants to nationalize power companies and expand worker-owned grocery stores and food-processing plants. In other words, he wants to throw people out of work
 
With the Progs you can see gasoline going to 10 dollars a gallon and electricity rates doubling and tripling.

And they will be happy about it too, even though it would destroy the lives of the poor who they claim they care about so much. Or maybe the poor get free gas.
 
I have never understood why people turn to the media to get their science. It is a fairly new phenomena, something that ties into the rise of hyper-partisanship.

Do you all turn to the media for medical advice?

If you are having car troubles do you read the newspaper to find out what is wrong with your car?

I'm sure at least one of them had a neighbor whose friend had a sister that dated someone that could spell scientist.

Uh-huh as opposed to the alternative that many pursue, turning to politicians to "get their science"....

It's an opinion piece and one that is pretty well written with a fairly well defended argument, so if you can refute the authors argument, then have at it but you'll probably want to actually read it first.

Which is more than can be said about the author of this “article”.

True, many do get it from politicians, but they are the same people that get it from the media as well.

I will not waste time refuting an opinion. That is a fools errand
 
Terri, you are attacking the religion of the Moon Bats when you question their faith in the silly AGW scam.

They don't like that and will accuse you of Environmental Racism.

One more case where it is a damn shame irony is lost on the ignorant.

All these Moon Bats want to spend a hundred trillion dollars on the AGW scam.

You can't comprehend stupidity of that level.
