The $hit did hit the fan in 2008. It’s name is Emperor Zero.

The only way it is affecting business — is from the bone headed regulations governments are imposing.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!

Lesson for today:

1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.

2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls the climates of all its planets.

3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.

4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.

5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.

Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

No, James, it didn’t.

Any prediction, given enough time, will eventually be borne out, but maybe not in this universe. Runaway global warming is just not possible using the Three Laws of Thermodynamics.

If the Sun puts more energy into the earth's thermodynamic domain than leaves the system, then the result is more energy likely in the form of heat. The earth has gone through warm and cold periods many times. I would venture a guess that the Sun had a variable input given changes in precession, orbital paths, and revolution inclination as well as cyclical solar activity. I would also venture a guess that ocean circulations, volcanic activity, and variations in atmospheric makeup resulting from the formation of life and subsequent changes has regulated output of energy from the earth. There is no violation of thermodynamic principle in changing earth temperatures.

(he predicted that the main problem in 2000 would be the environment. “It will be worsening then to such an extent that it will seriously affect their business,” he said.

“And of course,” Lovelock says, with a smile 43 years later, “that’s almost exactly what’s happened.”)

“almost exactly”? It’s freaking miles from what’s happened! It takes a special kind of delusion to describe the opposite of reality as reality, to show that one’s predictions came to pass when they didn’t.

In Japan, white is the color of death. Does that mean that all melanin-challenged people should go protest this aggression against their color?

Say, remember back in 2011 when the GOP establishment predicted that only a moderate candidate like Romney could be Obama?

Now then, that was "almost exactly" what happened, wasn't it?

Another revisionist I was in school in the '60s and the thought back then was that we would be in a ice age - not a warming cycle.

When one delves through all the lies and deceptions, it still looks like an ice age is the more likely of the two....
