At some point, the inevitable results of the GHGs that we have introduced to the atmosphere will be evident to all. At that point, someone will finally point out who understood the consequences, and denied them simply because that would have created a situation where they added less to their already immense wealth. When this happens, you will see a backlash that will make the changes to society resulting from the '30' look paltry.
Ray....you really think for a minute, the screaming of the "Skeptics" has anything significant to due with green energy being the joke it still is? C'mon.......
The global economy runs on fossil fuels. Nothing is going to change that........100% certainty.
A few weird storms or a few slightly warmer summers are not going to move a soul to any significant action........100% certainty.
Its just the way it is. These multinationals run the world......they tell Obama and every other cheesdick leader what to do. That's the way it has always worked........corporations vying for a slice of the markets......some are big winners and some are little winners. Green energy is a little winner and will continue to be as long as the best they can bring to the table is solar and wind. There are enough idiot investors out there to have been duped enough to keep it afloat.......barely.
Heres a good analogy Ray.......somebody might tell me I could die within 5 years so best I go do some medical procedure now at mega-expensive cost to me and maybe it assures I live another 10 years for sure. But its a hedge for the doctor.......might very well be right.......might very well be wrong. So am I shelling out $40,000 bucks based upon that margin? Zero chance. People make decisions at the margin almost invariably.......and in the case of renewables, they're going nowhere short of a "Day After Tomorrow" event.
Lastly Ray.......does it at all matter to you that so many, many predictions, based upon these storied models, have turned out to be BS?? IDK.....if I buy a product and am taking it in to the shop for repair every few weeks, its exceedingly likely Im dumping the brand. But then again......IM very skeptical by nature. I don't trust anything the media tells me.....not FOX, not CNN......not anybody. I think they all shovel shit just to distract us and make us think we have a horse in the game that might win. I think the government lies to us every single day........Reagan.......Bush........Clinton..........Nixon.........Obama.........the congress. So computer models, which are akin to a roll of the dice, Im rarely going to put any stock in. ANd I think over time, that whole "computer model" tact worked.......sounds good........."computer models, they must be right always because computers are so smart". But over the years, people caught on that the computer "models" are frequently off.......sometimes waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay off.( look at hurricane models......no snow predictions........all a joke )
The politicians have been throwing little dog bones to the environmentalists now for decades ( light bulb legislation ) ........and the environmentalists are still waiting for this day of a seminal consensus event where everything will turn on a dime.
Its not going to happen. I promise.
