As soon as I read “its about climate change”, the entire article turned me off.

Year 2100.

Carbon based fuels will have already be phased out by scientific advances.

Many cities in the world were the same. There has been tremendous progress cleaning up emissions. All the more reason to not stop using the fuels we have.

Year 2100.

“Carbon based fuels will have already be phased out by scientific advances.”

Care to share with us how you reached this conclusion?

I graduated in Petroleum Engineering 41 years ago and I recall people telling me we had only 10 years of oil left.

Right now, we have more reserves in the world we ever have had, and it’s highest production rate.

The scientific advances are overwhelmingly how to produce more oil rather than toward producing more nonhydrocarbons

All future power plants should be fueled by burning yak dung. Automobiles can be powered by windsong and glory. And you can heat your homes by burning your lawn refuse, pets, and excess clothing.

IPCC needs to be phased out this year.

At some point, the price of natural gas will move up to a point where nuclear power is cost effective to build. I also expect that we will finally have fusion reactors generating electricity.

I’d like to see the IPCC clowns “phased out” by the end of the week. The UN sux.

Oddly enough, other changes that occurred to the climate over hundreds of thousands of years when humans weren’t present, apparently don’t count. If they really cared, they’d lead by example and volunteer to stop using any and all “fossil” fuel based material at the u.n. starting today. Of course since “they” believe “they” have “important” work to do, they’d excuse themselves from any and all restrictions. Really, really getting tired of these clowns and their bullying.

(sign)Capitalism is killing us...

Hey, don’t worry; Capitalism will be gone and you’ll be dead anyway when UN Agenda 21 takes effect. They want the Earth’s population reduced by 85%, and they’ll start with their useful idiots like you (bearer of the sign, that is).

Translation: Hydrocarbon energy is too plentiful and too cheap, hence, it poses a threat to government-controlled wind, solar and other alternatives.


Yes, let's put the govt. in charge...

Absolutely. I’m still waiting for Al Gore to move into a modest, energy efficient home.

You can tell if a leftist really believes in GW by asking if they are in favor of nuclear energy.

The Earth has been getting warmer or colder for 4 billion years. The only constant in Earths environment is change. It will continue to change till it’s consumed by the Sun.

Man has been on earth .00075% of Earth’s age or 300,000 years.
Earth will continue to change after man is long gone.

The universe is dynamic. Suns supernova, galaxies collide, planets are formed and lost in black holes daily.

Man is merely a brief observer, not the cause.

When you consider how far we have advanced technologically in the past 85 years, there is no reason not to believe that fossil fuels won’t be replaced naturally.......or the energy output from them improved upon tremendously.
