BINGO!

I’m always looking for the financial incentive. Occupational hazard of accountants ...

Ah, chase the money. And seldom will you be wrong.

Except where the egos of individuals have overridden even the desire for money.

Yes, it’s not a universal principle, just a starting point.

It's still a Hoax and a Scam....to further Global Governance...started by the UN.

[SunkenCiv]

the Royal Society, has acknowledged the limits of current scientific understanding of climate change, revising its outlook

NOT ENOUGH -- the Royal Society needs to condemn the whole blasted pile of BS as having originated in politics and having been sustained by politics. Until they do that, they are not to be trusted. Thanks neverdem.

‘The 43 society members now believe the society’s previous position was too strident and implied a greater degree of certainty than was justified.’

NOW they tell us.

Speaking of Delaware; a visual:

How much area would it take if you gathered the population of the world of ~6,800,000,000 people, brought 'em all together in one place and gave 'em each a square yard, or nine square feet?

6,800,000,000 X 9 = ~61,000,000,000 sq ft.

61,000,000,000 / 43,550(sq ft per acre) = ~1,400,000 acres

1,400,000 / 640(acres per sq mi.) = ~2,200 square miles.

The total area of the state of Delaware is roughly 2,500 square miles. In other words, you could put the entire world's population into the state of Delaware with a little room to spare; maybe for Porta-Potties!

The total area of the earth is ~197,000,000 sq miles; total land area ~57,000,000 sq miles.

2,500 / 197,000,000 = ~.00001 or 1/1000 of 1% of the area of the earth's surface.

2,500 / 57,000,000 = ~.00004 or roughly 4/1000 of 1% of the land area.

And algore's snake oil is that he wants us to believe we puny humans can do ANYTHING with the climate? FAT CHANCE!

Someone check the math.

What you’re saying does sound believeable. The state of New Jersey has a higher average population density than mainland China does, and that’s factual.
