The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels by Alex Epstein.
Maybe I oughta send a copy to this site’s pet liberal, Robin. I’m waiting for him to comment that this cold weather the nation is experiencing today is the result of global warning at the North Pole that is pushing this cold weather down here. That’s what he and the other AGW fanatics claimed about the Polar Vortex last winter. No, seriously. That’s what they said about the Polar Vortex. Remember, global warming causes everything even the early snow in the Upper Midwest and the unseasonably cold weather we’re experiencing now. The ice on Lake Superior took a long time to melt after winter this year. More global warming.
We had a Dusting of Glo-Bull Warming here in Greater Bugtussle this morning… All gone, bright, sunny day, but it never got above freezing…
From a Grumpy Old Man to a GOC – your President fella has been in our part of the Planet, telling Australians that we are making a real mess of our climate, and all of it is our fault ( or similar ).
Will you please put a muzzle and a leash on him?
It is very ill-mannered of him to fly in like a seagull, squawk and crap on us, and then fly off.
How much fuel did he use up to do that?
(grumble, grumble, mutter, mutter)
If we put a muzzle and a leash on him it would be raaaaa-cist! Believe me, many of us are as disgusted with him as you are. I cannot believe there were enough stupid Americans to reelect this disgrace. Dimocrats think Americans are stupid and they have a point. Americans overwhelmingly hate Obummercare yet they reelect the person responsible. Unbelievable. At least Republicans took over the Senate and gained seats in the House as well. Obola is now gonna act like a dictator and dare Republicans to impeach him. One of the big problems is the press is on his side so if the gummint gets shutdown Republicans will get the blame.
Hell if they try to impeach him he’ll drop the race card.
What these fools call “Global Warming”, I call “weather”… Weather changes all the damn time. This ain’t nothing new.
Keep on the good fight, GOC!
Yea Buffalo has 5 feet of Global Warming today!
Have that sonuvabitch move to Michigan this year. And make it the Upper Peninsula.
I usually have three words for all these idiots, and suggest that they look it up on Google: “Little Ice Age.” Which we are (or maybe were) just coming out of. The painting of Washington crossing the Delaware is correct. The river used to regularly freeze completely over.
Also “Maunder Minimum,” which is a term for a prolonged period of low sunspot activity, which corresponded to low European temperatures.
Here in Pensacola the temp was 24 this morning at sunrise. I could go with that if I were still back in Boone County, Indiana, but god damn, we got palm and lemon and orange trees here. Typical temp for this time of year is 70 high and 50 low. Yesterday we didn’t get above 45 for the high.
Is the climate changing? Prob’ly. Is it anthropogenic? Yeah, sure, people cause global warming the same way that whales cause continental drift and comets cause sunspots.
Bottom line is, of course, if the sun decides to become hyperactive or quiescent, there ain’t a friggin thing we can do about it. And if we think we can significantly slow or reverse climate change by shutting down all US industry to minimize CO2 emissions, we’ll have about as much success as Chicken Little.
Way back when this nonsense first got started they claimed the sun had nothing to do with the warming of the planet. It was all CO2. I knew right then it was total BullShit!
Anybody want to adopt a polar bear?
