I think I may concede that one to them. If you compare now to what we had in the early 60s in America and Europe, civilization does look pretty dead.
Arlen Specter was Einhorn’s attorney. Specter sure had some infamous connections.
>>Civilization will end within 15 or 30 years
I think I may concede that one to them.<<
The anti-free speech, pro-fascist protests/riots since Trump was elected pretty much put a lock on it. Civilization has fled.
April 1970 was a few days from the Kent State demonstrations, which left 4 dead.
I can’t say that we have advanced during that period.
10. Air pollution is certainly going to take hundreds of thousands of lives in the next few years alone. Paul Ehrlich
Probably accurate. In 1975 air pollution was bad, especially from burning coal. Excess mortality due to burning coal was estimated at about 50,000 per year in the United States, by professor of health physics Bernard Cohen, in his 1983 book, “Before It’s Late.” Note, Cohen strongly supported the continued burning of coal, because the effects of poverty were much worse, even in terms of excess mortality. Cohen’s argument was that if we could get the same amount of electricity for the same price as we got from coal (think nuclear) we would save 50,000 lives per year.
The project Willys jeep is running but a tad rich maybe.
That’s how I am ignoring erf day or Lenin’s birthday if you prefer.
I started all the vehicles I own and let them idle for 30 minutes and ran my home air conditioning units for one hour with the windows open to celebrate Erf day.
1968 Corvette 427 no emissions equipment
1977 Corvette 350 no emissions equipment
1979 Chevrolet C10 396 no emissions equipment
1944 Willys MB 134 no emissions equipment
Hooray for Erf day!
Half of these quotes are Malthusian economics, which was refuted like a hundred years ago. And these are “educated” men.
They used to spout wild claims about how toxic oil was. I played around capped oil wells where I noticed weeds and grass grow up through tar and clouded oil funk just fine. And oil running out? Liquid oil is the proverbial tip of the iceberg. The stuff we are getting through cracking is the submerged body of the iceberg. I grew up in an oil industry family.
If you know part of the agenda is pure hooey then the rest falls apart as well.
For later
And then after Earth Day celebrations all those not involved in it will volunteer to pitch in and clean up after them.
On #7 - ironies of ironies, it’s capitalism that has saved the Chinese and indians from starvation.
Capitalism - the best sustainable system in existence!
Quite a collection. I’m impressed.
My old Willys has no emissions either.
I won’t be able to get to my 79 K5 until tomorrow. Some emissions are off and more will come.
If money holds and no disasters, I hope to add an 82 CJ7 with a reman engine to the list of operational stuff.
Thanks. I didn’t bother starting the 2004 Yukon or the 2009 Honda Goldwing since they’re both emissions compliant. I have two 48 CJ-2A’s and a 42 GPW that I haven’t started restoring. Way too many projects.

This morning, one brave university professor,branded a “climate change skeptic” by the Leftist loudmouths on CNN’s New Day show, made some excellent points about CO2 being harmless water vapor. Opposite him, filibustering with all the climate change garbage, was Bill Nye, the laughable “science guy.” It is obvious that they are dead wrong about their alarmist predictions that have obviously been worthless, but it is their religion, it takes the place of God in their empty lives, and they will never admit their ignorance.
However, we who are sane should not be forced to pay for their religion. Pres. Trump should withdraw the USA from the ruinous climate change treaty signed in Paris by Obama’s feckless administration.
Excellent! Charlton Heston speaking, and speaking the truth...two separate things on their own that could cause liberal heads to explode!
[Where are these experts today????]
They all froze to death. Or starved. Or ran out of gas.
The science is settled.
Wow that guy was just a major idiot. Last scam was selling Obama’s “healthcare”. What a jerk.
