heh Heh he, I’m just betting there are wackos touting this as the future of sexual feminism, the evolved female through climatic change.
go hug a bear time?
Speaking of Global Weirding. While flipping through the channels last night I caught the last 5 minutes of a Star Trek TGN episode I’d never seen before. It was about warp drive hurting the fabric of space time. I could tell immediacy it was a lame evriopropaganda allegory. They decided to put a speed limit on ships to combat the problem. Obviously they dropped it later, possibly without even mentioning it again. LOL.
Thomas Friedman is an “intellectual”. Thomas Sowell has a new book out titled “Intellectuals and Society”.
It explains Thomas Friedman perfectly. Both Friedman and Karl Marx were intellectuals, and while Sowell doesn’t mention Friedman (yet), he does mention Marx. Sowell holds up the work of Marx as a sterling example of what happens when intellect is combined with the wrong set of premises.
“Das Capital” is a brilliant work written by someone who actually studied economics, but it is build on a faulty foundation (In Marx’s case, that the only real wealth is found in the hands of those that labor, or the direct result of their labor)
Friedman is no dummy, but like Marx, he is simply wrong, and he writes book after book full of his ingenious mental machinations on the same faulty foundation. I read Friedman’s work “The World is Flat”, and that was it for me. After that, I tried reading two more, and I dropped both of them before finishing them.
Once you conclude that someone is building all of their arguments on the same faulty premises, you realize they are saying the same thing over and over again in different ways, but it is still wrong.
Stupid progressive...the problem is, the AGW crowd claim the snow proves global warming. So either it's evidence or it's not evidence...and it's your side that says it is.
As for renewable energy and solar panels...nice straw man argument. Is AGW the only reason why they should exist...apparently so in NYT's view.
If there is one thing we have learned from the global warming alarmists it is that any anomaly, not just limited to weather, is claimed to be proof of Anthropogenic Global Warming ™ Anthropogenic Climate Change ™
Really TF is one of those guys that makes you stop and say htf did he get to where he is? He’s a lot like Obama in that regard...they think that by running their CO2 dispensers 24/7 they can magically solve society’s ills....shouldn’t the EPA regulate them as dangerous emitters?
Concede temperatures will vary year to year according to the weather gods whim. However, new low temperature records are being set in record number which would not occur if global warming predictions were true let alone man made.
Good idea: "Professor Richard Lindzen of MIT’s peer reviewed work states “we now know that the effect of CO2 on temperature is small, we know why it is small, and we know that it is having very little effect on the climate.”"
One must wonder if there is, indeed, a “climate-science community.”
There is, for sure, a “climate FRaud/scam/Ponzi scheme community!”
After they are incarcerated and their ill-gotten gains forfeited, perhaps then we could get on with a serious climate science discussion?
I read portions of Dr. Lindzen’s paper after my previous comment.
I’ll add one more: Dr. Lindzen’s work is the silver stake in the heart to the AGW crowd’s werefolf!
For far too many, "saving the erf" is their only way to "matter" in this world. It won't be easy. Probably the best way would be to give them another way to "matter".
A 50 page report!
Not 10 pages, not 100 pages but 50.
Climategate denier. He’s trying to get those straggling off the plantation back in line.
“These are the talking points”.
He ends his piece by saying even if the cause is overstated, with rising global populations, we will need increased sources of cheap energy anyway.
The New York Times won a Pulitzer Prize for denying the ills of Sovet Russia.
Same old same old song and dance at the NYet Times, comrade.
Never having lived in NYC, and only encountering it after it went online, I have no memory of the NYT as anything other than a commie rag, although conservative friends of mine say it was better when they read it in the 80’s. Hard to believe.
If I’m not mistaken, that sounds like that was the final episode, wasn’t that where Picard joined the crew at a table to play a round of cards ?
