Greta Thunberg will literally become the poster child for this era of Peak Stupidity :-)

She is certainly a entitled brat. She knows nothing of thermodynamics.

Peak stupidity is what she rails against.

Right, I forgot the Jacobins changed the definition of stupidity. Hard to keep up with all their definition changes.

A wise man once told me that the problem with stupid people is that they don't realize they are stupid. I think we've got one of them in our midst today.

why do we continue to acknowledge unqualified people like Greta Thunberg as experts?

Expand full comment

No one thinks Greta is an "expert". Many of us admire her & her generation's position as inheritors of climate change, over which they've had zero control. Now that they're coming into their own, they are exerting influence on the trajectory of habitat destruction from combustion power. No one needs to be an "expert" to do that. They just need to have common sense.

What nonsense, she's a religious fanatic/communist know-nothing who will cause more deaths & poverty than climate change ever would.

She is seriously mentally unstable.

Great stuff, Joel. Bill's audio was hilarious. What a punch line. And it's good to see that Eric is bullish on oil stocks. I share his view.

Thanks, Dan. From you, that means a lot. Best.

Greta is a novelty and the “ideal” the Left wants every Millennial to mimic. That is why the MSM gives her the time of day. Plain and simple.

Greta Thunberg.

How can the very small volume of hot and other gases come out of one mouth, and create a global tsunami of climate fanaticism and lemming followers?

Beyond comprehension in a world with many intelligent people doing so much with medical breakthroughs, engineering feats and yet still reverting to fighting wars in every part of the globe.

Climate will change nature dictates it will not the UN, WEF or some naive scientists playing with models and spending billions worshipping the Sun, Winds Tides.

There is no Man in The Moon.

There is a Sun that had fluctuated it’s burning patterns since the Earth was created.

And then there are climate scientists who developed from brainless one celled Amoeba and became wizards of forecasting.

Have another glass of Malbec and become an unintelligent heathen, just like me !

And I like that young men are choosing vasectomy to attack the climate change problem by easing demand for resources. They are doing something about the exponential population growth which drives demand growth for resources. They are at the other end of the transition to renewables, by executing a solution to demand growth, one vasectomy at a time. BRAVO !!!

For once I agree with Mr/Ms Lum.

These leftist lunatics choosing vasectomies are some of the last people on earth we want procreating. Bravo indeed.

That made me LOL. Much agreed.

Anyone choosing vasectomy is no lunatic. Lunatics tell us the price of fossil fuels is going up, then ensure it by declaring renewables DOA. The reason the sun doesn't shine at nite is so we can sleep. DUH!

But my post wasn't about "ANYONE" choosing a vasectomy, was it? I was specifically referring to those you referred to; you know, the ones who are getting vesectomies to appease their angry weather goddess.

You wrote: “The reason the sun doesn't shine at nite is so we can sleep. DUH!”

LOL! Let me guess. You have a degree in Astronomy from one of our 'prestigious' universities.

The Aztecs would murder a virgin girl and throw her over a cliff. We build windmills that use more energy to build than they will ever generate. Same dumb stuff just different time.

I have just one question for you: Where does electricity come from?

Expand full comment

She has no idea. She just spouts talking points. Virtue signalling.

Are you going to answer my question: Where does electricity come from? Or, do you not have an answer? If not, you look rather moronic based on all of your previous comments.

Too many people on this planet consuming evermore resources

This was based on Keynesian policy - disposable goods, disposable money, disposable time made possible by endless quantities of confetti. The guy should have been hung along side Mussolini. And if they and their ilk had to fend for themselves they'd all be dead now. Problem solved.

"By a continuing process of inflation, government can confiscate secretly and unobserved an important part of the wealth, of their citizens"

John Maynard Keynes

So what does that imply ?

The cars that capitalism gave to people wood bee the last thing Greta wood mention as they are the drivers of climate change, over which Greta & her generation have had zero control. Her generation is now coming into its own & will exert influence on what capitalism has given us, & what her generation will inherit from us.

Greta's generation is vast majority twit, clueless and/or brain dead. Using Greta's (and her mindless peers') logic, a ten year old possesses much better aptitude to grasp facts and knowledge than she does, and a six year old can run circles around the ten year old.

No, I will dismiss what she says as nothing but regurgitated drivel. Apparently you missed the chart that demonstrates what capitalism has done for the human race. Her generation will have no choice but to stay the course and stick with what works. As the old saying goes, "Necessity is the mother of invention", or in this case, it is the mother of survival. (Greta is just too naive and/or stupid to realize it (which might change after she aquires more experience and maturity.)

I'll try it this way: Where does electricity come from?

Ah Davey, don't you get tired of asking "where does electricity come from"? Why don't you answer that question for us? I know you are dying to tell us what the answer really is.

I'm all ears. XOXO

I've already answered this question in a previous detailed exchange with you. As PG has pointed out multiple times, you have a reading retention problem.

It's very telling that the people that pop off about the virtues of "green energy" and "climate change" simply disappear when asked to identify the source of things (like electricity). I ask this question of the Kool-Aid drinkers often, and so far, not one has answered it. I either get crickets or deer caught in the headlights looks.

DJ: Would you be so kind as remind me what the answer is? Does it have anything to do with: Wind, Natural gas, Nuclear energy, coal, solar power, Broman and geothermal?? Maybe you have been sipping some of that kool-aid!

The answer is that gas, oil and coal account for a little more than 80 percent of all electricity generation. Then nuclear (the ultimate solution for unlimited electricity supply) and hydro-power account for more than 10 percent and wind and solar bring up the rear to the tune of about 8 percent of all the electricity generated.

When you consider that it's taken over 20 years for wind and solar to get to 8 percent (I personally knew an engineer that was working on windmill technology over 40 years ago so I'm being kind) and apply the "halves" principal to these technologies wind and solar might become relevant in another 30 years or so (in 10 years we'll be at 16 percent, 15 years 32 percent, etc. Then there's still the problem that there aren't enough raw materials in the Earth's surface to provide the amounts needed to manufacture the batteries and solar panel components to meet these electricity production projections. It's just not a legitimately viable strategy and all the government grant paid scientists in the world can't make it so no matter how many white papers they write.

Thank You! Now that wasn't so bad was it? I still don't think it will take as long as you or whoever thinks it will. We'll see.
