“More junk science.”
Anthropogenic global warming is not “junk science”. (Don’t blow a blood vessel, keep reading.)
It is clear that the gigatons of CO2 released into the atmosphere have some warming effect. That is very basic physics. I happen to be in the camp that thinks that such warming is not large, and can safely be ignored at least for now.
What has most on the right riled up are the proposed solutions to “catastrophic” warming. That’s the big problem.
The best approach is to pile R&D money into win-win technologies like solar and next-gen nuclear power. Once power generated by those methods is cheaper than coal (in particular) the “problem” goes away without wealth redistribution or the other zany ideas from the left. Plus there are the nice side benefits of less people dying from air pollution, and less mercury in the ocean. I like tuna.
I’m hopeful that LENR will come through and really solve our energy problems, but even if not there is no need for a scaled-down future with less energy consumption per capita, translating into a lower standard of living for almost everyone.
President Trump and solutions to global warming (whether or not it is a problem) are NOT mutually exclusive, and in fact represent a great future and opportunity going forward. Selling it this way could turn many global warming believers into conservatives.
Let the market work, get rid of onerous regulation, and we’ll have an energy-rich and better future.
Read more into the Euro, especially the British blogs and articles about “catastrophic global warming” and you realize it is all about the implementation of a world government deriving it’s authority over the lives of every human being by issuing them a “resource ration.” The Brits will mention in just about every article the “profligate” per capita use of resources by the United States. Despite the ecological threats posed by most every other developing and industrializing country in the world, the focus always comes back to per capita use and how Americans need theirs reduced.
They are looking for a massive centralized government imposed ration on everyone. People subject to rationing are not free.
