Advanced Nonsense: The Politics of Alternative Energy

Good article! Someone who recognizes how much Karl Marx's ideas have infected our society.

Alternative Energy Storage for Global Warming Agnostics

JP, I think it does matter about GW insofar as our freedoms go, because the Warmers want to place strict rules and regs on our current freedoms.

I think most of them are mostly control freaks rather than being worried about the environment. Have you ever met a leftist who was not a control freak?

But at this point the Great GDP Nation of the World has elected someone who has promised to save the planet from heat. So in that sense it doesn't matter, because what we must do from here is to see where he's going to toss money and then how we can benefit from where it's going.

I don't agree with you about our running out of oil. I come from the camp that oil does not form from fossils, but forms from heat and certain chemical mixes, as do the Russians and the Chinese.

There's plenty of oil and no sign we're running out.

Good work otherwise. Keep it up. And have a great New Year --- this one being your best yet, I hope.

Respectfully, Artful

Alternative Energy Storage for Global Warming Agnostics

The eco-maniacs and pseudo-scientists have been predicting doom for planet earth since the 1950s.

Their cries really sped up in the 1970s when the Dumborats took over the government—big time—with Peanut Head, the Old Socialist Leprechaun, and a Freedom-Suppressing Court in charge.

At that time every eco-maniac and pseudo-scientist claimed the earth was running out of oil and all other natural resources and we were on the brink of a “global freeze”—the old now-forgotten “nuclear winter” tarradiddle.

Indeed, the same eco-maniacs who were around then (the young ones have no idea about their savants’ history) and are today adamant about “global warming” were also adamant about other predicted catastrophes that never came about, and about which they do not bring up today, such as the Y2K-con, the over-population bomb, global freezing, nuclear winters, acid rain poisoning, vanishing wildlife, killer bee onslaughts, tree shortages, water shortages, oil depletions, energy shortages, worldwide poverty, C02 poisonings, flooding of whole land masses, famines on a worldwide scale, earthquakes causing huge pieces of land to fall into the ocean, nuclear war, nuclear power plant meltdowns killing billions and envenoming whole continents, ozone depletion brought about by a “greenhouse effect,” dying coral reefs causing the death of all ocean life, disappearance of most oceanic fish caused by too many humans having to eat to survive, oil pipelines causing animal extinction, and every other prophesied calamity that has never come about.

Anyone who disagrees with their catastrophic scare-mongering is an unscientific fool—a boob who could only live in a small-minded, small town. It’s much the same as anyone who disagrees with their gods (now Obama, but previously Al Snore and Skinflinton).

Their jump to “global warming” is fairly recent, but the same catastrophic, world-ending, doomsday tales come with it as it did all of the above canards.

The man I believe to be the heating-hoax inventor, Stephen Schneider, the author of the “Genesis Strategy” (1976), was sure in the 1970s that in the 1980s the world was going into an ice age. When that didn’t occur, he came with, what else, the book “Global Warming.”

When promoting his new view, Schneider said the following in an October 1989 interview recorded in “Discover Magazine”: “To capture the public’s imagination, we have to offer up some scary scenarios, make simplified dramatic statements, and make little mention of any doubts one might have about global warming. Each of us has to decide the right balance between being effective, and being honest.”

They were just as sure then as they are now that the earth was going to implode and humans were the cause of it.

And what should really tip off any reasoning person to the phoniness of their nightmarish claims is that their cure for each one is the same: more government, more regulation, higher taxation, and less freedom for the average person.

Yep, you better believe them. Your fat butt is going to be roasting over the next few years; or will it be freezing? Oh well, who knows? But it's for darn sure going to be bad, whatever occurs. Just ask any skizziod, quivering Damorat. They'll tell you and quickly too: Hell can thrust forth no fury like a "Warming Planet." Or, is it a “Freezing Planet?”

And none of them can ever answer the question about one of their gods: Why is it that Snore only pops his head out when the sun’s shining?

Good article, JP. Thanks. Keep up the good work. Will look these companies over.

Btw, has anyone seen Al Snore lately? He seems to disappear every time there's a snowflake in the air, somewhat like a reverse groundhog. He'll pop back out the first warm day, though.

The problem with global warming (now called "climate change" after two brutally cold winters around the world) is the Warmers blast you with, The science is in; there's no debate.

Well, tell that to the thousands of scientists around the world who're trying to stop governments from attempting to smash stars into sand.

The anti-global warming petition signed by over 30,000 professionals in the fields of science reads as follows:

"We urge the United States government to reject the global warming agreement that was written in Kyoto, Japan in December, 1997, and any other similar proposals. The proposed limits on greenhouse gases would harm the environment, hinder the advance of science and technology, and damage the health and welfare of mankind.

There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gasses is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth."

Now Aitvaras, you are right about certain people when they take a death-grip position: no amount of truth, reasoning, or proof will change their minds.

But there are many, many more who can be moved that need honest two-sided debate on subjects as important as the claim that the planet is heating up to the point that it's going to turn all of us to cinders before it stops, if we don't tear down trillions of dollars in energy infrastructure and rebuild it with God-knows-what (and He may not know what).

I’m passing this along for their benefit.
