Mention of so-called "green energy" reminds me of an incident in Germany a few years back. Somebody analyzing solar generation noticed that one location was generating 24 hours a day, which is odd for solar panels. Turns out a diesel generator was being used to power klieg lights to shine on the solar panels at night so as to maximize the government subsidies for keeping Gaia green. No less nuts than anything else government solutions produce.
Why is nobody reading "The Great Global Warming Blunder" by Roy W. Spencer? Or any other book that proves that the global warming science isn't settled and is flawed? And more importantly something I find very suspicious, why aren't the oil companies getting this research out to people and the world to save their own companies? Surely, they have the money and power to stop this nonsense. And can't the green people see that they themselves are setting up the whole world to become enslaved with their flawed science? And that they playing right into the hands of the Deciders? Any person who can believe that something as small as MAN (no matter what he does) can control the climate of the planet which has been cooling and warming itself for 5 billion years needs to do some serious reading and investigation before jumping on the band wagon just because it sounds good. I'm betting most people and especially politicians who agree with the man-made global warming theory haven't done any reading into the other side of the argument. People, this is the most important topic on the planet that affects all of our freedoms and quality of life and it's time that everyone get educated and do whatever is necessary to stop this madness. The time is now!
The issue and ideology of the green movement isn’t about conservation or saving the planet. It’s about power and control and directing a scam that appears to be beyond the masses understanding and ability decipher the data. It’s the perfect medium for the “biggest lie” of all.
When you say "nobody" is reading that type of material you might want to clarify the question and ask why "Why is nobody that is making policy and tax decisions reading Spencer or any of the others?" The answer to that question is simple: The rouse that is Global Warming was just a Trojan horse for a movement that was hatched in Europe by the better there that is titled, "The De-Growth Movement".
They buy into "science" that forecasts all sorts of "problems" that require solutions such as population control and less of everything that the Industrial Revolution and modern inventions have brought to societies the world over. It's the WEF/Davos crowd and Communists/Socialists/American Democrat Politicians and their minions that are pushing it. They are becoming frustrated because they thought "Climate Change" would enable them to eliminate capitalism much more quickly (though the economic system now in place in the United States is hardly capitalism). If you research "De-Growth Movement" there are extensive writings by their proponents and they spell out exactly what they have planned for us. And yes, it is "our freedoms and quality of life" they are coming for and they make no bones about it. Just remember, you will own nothing and be happy.
Another book to read “Apocalypse Never “ by Michael Shellenberger, who realized the folly in his and others in the radical green movement. Follow the money, power and blind stupidity. Man is not bigger than nature.
I have (my wife's entire family farms in the Midwest). After they pick themselves up after laughing they tell me the weather is generating the most yields per acre--ever. You won't respond because you never do when I demonstrate how poorly informed you are. If you want to educate yourself research "De-Growth Movement" (maybe include "in Europe") in your search and you'll learn exactly what Climate Change is really about.
No body argues that climate temperatures and patterns are changing, nor whether we should be exercising sound environmental practices. The question is: is it man made and can man fundamentally alter the major climate seasons that have been going on for thousands of years?
The real argument is 'Should we be gambling the global economy (which we just gambled and lost BTW on Lockdown) for computer models, which IIRC cannot cope with the largest greenhouse gas of all, Water Vapour, because it is too variable. Then there is the fact that none agree, and finally, the clue 'Fossil' fuels. All that Carbon was once in the air and life in abundance it would seem given the extent of fossil fuel deposits, was present. Even the BBC, which is no longer anything but a propaganda outlet for whatever fad the UK Woke elite wish to push, admits that 7 degrees hotter didn't mean the end of the world.
7 degrees warmer, and that without humans. Now as Lomborg and Lovelock (That is Prof James Lovelock - once a Green Doyen, now vilified because a) He supports Nuclear Power b) He 'recanted' his alarmist views and basically aligned with Lomborg) are saying
"Humanity are problem solvers, and we have plenty of time to solve this problem without gambling the world's economy on it."
Lomborg even has plans on how to do it, but he's sidelined because he 'lost the faith' which is basically what the Green Econutters have - its a cult.
Now, as you are going to discover with the current economic crisis, economic crises kill and kill many, usually the world's poor. Time to scrap most of these insane Green ideas, from Windmills to Net Zero and listen to Lomborg. Though the lockdown crisis will now cause untold miserly and probably result in much of the Green madness being scrapped, it will cost millions of lives & no doubt push back what progress has been made on eliminating poverty.
One thing that is obvious, The Green Nutters are Malthusians, Extinction Rebellion for one would happily see most of the poor in the 3rd world die to save a planet that doesn't need saving. The Planet doesn't give a toss about anything, from ball of molten rock, via the myth of Gaia to the end of time, it doesn't care. What matters are people and the Greens are likely to kill them in their millions if we continue with their mad ideas. From Bio-diesel to Net Zero there is hardly a 'Green Initiative' that hasn't proven worse than what went before. Here in the UK one of our biggest power stations burns US Forests - that is sensible?
or anyone who goes on holiday to the English Lake District - no global warming and it would still be the English Glacier District. - Mind you I've not yet seen any archeologist dig up a 4x4 when they find a Woolly Mammoth. So who says warming is bad? Here is the BBC on a 'very warm time' and life flourished.
Actually, I have done quite a bit of reading on the subject as it happens, "Green Murder" by Ian Plimer as well as the book you mention, amongst others. On the other hand I've also read quite a few from the other side of the ledger. A life time of being involved in farming tends to increase your attention to weather and climate
Personally, I think that climate change is real, but the way it is being manipulated to fit an agenda is both dangerous and ridiculous.
It seems to me, though, that an inability to accept that 7-8 billion humans, while individually of no importance, can't have an effect on the environment is a bit denialist. Anyway, we'll probably find out who's right or wrong soon enough, but I actually hope it's not the school of thought I to ascribe to
To understand the "green new deal" is to understand they are about to steal all our money and give it to themselves and congratulate one another about what smart people they are. That is all it is. John Kerry and Bill Gates need more of your money. Spend it fast or it will be gone!! It was never about saving the planet, it was about getting rid of us because the poor, unwashed are using up too many resources. Just sayin'.
Right on...except you cannot recycle those blades on a windmill. You have to bury the most expensive part of the endeavor. BIG problem because they are gigantic and won't fit into any "regular" or existing landfill. Good luck in France, we have our own retards running the show in the USA. At least here, we still have guns and millions of rounds of ammo. At the ready...
The EU is the land of the technocrat, fantastic that the U.K. has left but ruined by the fact there is socialist conservative govt at the helm which has been captured by the global elite.
It may be past time to reinstate the Guillotine. It's not like the ruling elite uses their heads for much other than a pie hole.
Alas our rulers thought taxing and regulating business always worked out in the end, business always adapted and moved on. In their wisdom they broke business in general. No longer does the American believe a small business is a ticket to independence and wealth. Their sweat and toil was most times rewarded, one could depend on hard work paying off. No longer is working hard a surety of success or financial independence. There is simply no ability to grow a business without hiring and retaining staff.
My wife noted one of our small Dairy Queen treat stores had $2000 day normal is $1500, but this was due to raising prices across the board to account for higher costs for materials and raises to employees. Pay increases to the high school kids is met with "Now I'm making more than I need, can I work less shifts?"
The system is broken it will not be fixed until Americans loose everything including their liberty, and then there's simply not enough time left.
Bill has the right idea, travel, buy a place in Ireland and get to know the locals. In the end the locals and one's family are the only ones you can depend upon.
So much truth. Truth that is nearly impossible to find in any mainstream source. I am so thankful for the disconnected few (probably much larger in numbers than what one might think). Your insightful thoughts, observations, and writings are refreshing, motivating, and appreciated.
Speaking of bonds...a general question comes to mind...for those that currently own bonds that might ladder out as far as 2029...would it possibly be better to just sell the bond at a loss now, and hold the cash with the purpose of being able to take advantage of opportunities that will be presenting themselves some time in the future.
Just for info there is more windmills in USA than in France in proportion of territory.
And by capacity France comes to the 8 th place after China , USA, Germany , India ,Spain, Uk and Brazil ... France , in the last 10 years came from third to eighth ... a bon entendeur salut
A herd of smelly walking donkey pumps or windmills?
Recycling copper vs. looking for a copper deposit and putting it into production in a politically risky environment (like the US!!!)...just to produce copper concentrate as opposed to copper metal?
Recycling old concrete...done all the time?
Gasoline prices...who in their right mind expects the price to fall in a meaningful amount for a worthwhile time?
First-person insights from a trusted individual is my primary source of news. Henry's comments qualify. Wonderful.
Dubious: "Like a husband and wife after one has been caught cheating, the marriage can go forward… but it can never go back to what it was."
Researchers have reported that couples who stay together and work things out after such a betrayal say, 5 years later, that their love has never been stronger, nor their marriage better.
How that applies to our condition, I don't know. But it's encouraging.
What we are seeing and experiencing are all normal supply and demand global economic derivatives. No need to sound the alarm. “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” Newton # 3. The key word is EQUAL, meaning the global economy is on par to equally stabilize itself from the global shift positioning system and the political turmoil that ensues after the world nations arbitrate and strategically strive to balance the budget and reform the tax code in a successful and united effort.
So true, look how much has changed (more like destroyed) since the Democrats have taken over in Washington. I feel like we're traveling down a road at 185 mph in a nice red Ferrari headed directly towards a brick wall and don't realize it has no brakes.

But wasn't the diesel fuel operating the generator produced by the sun? Isn't the generator "solar powered"?

Doesn't your third paragraph tend to support Bill's point? The marriage is "stronger" and "better", so therefore not "what it was". Just sayin...
Good point.
Central planning+green totalitarianism=Frankenstein economy
Or a Godzilla economy where everything ends up being ruined like Tokyo by the large centrally planned Green monster.
What we are seeing and experiencing are all normal supply and demand global economic derivatives. No need to sound the alarm. “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” Newton # 3.

Peace on Earf be with you. 😂
True, I'm sure, but how long does it take for an equal and opposite reaction to this stupidity to occur? Most of us will probably be dead by then.
It’s like the championship game, a turn of events can change in the blink of an eye. 😃
So true, look how much has changed (more like destroyed) since the Democrats have taken over in Washington. I feel like we're traveling down a road at 185 mph in a nice red Ferrari headed directly towards a brick wall and don't realize it has no brakes.
You sound just like an economist. That makes me doubt the accuracy of your statements!
“You’ve learned well, Grasshopper!” 😂
I don’t blame you. That’s a very EVIL combo. People say the aforementioned worship the devil, I wouldn’t doubt it! 😂
