I watched Levin and Dr. Michaels. The Dr. destroyed the IPCC and the other idiots who claim AGW/climate change is real.
We saw Dr. Michaels on Levin last night. Excellent show.
climate change, eh? Enviroweenies are always trying to wrap their blanket around a problem that has nothing to do with them.
I wonder what the alternative reasons could be?
how about banking crisis and oil prices?
(from 2009: “The country’s current account balance has declined from -$1.977 billion in 2008 to -$247 billion in 2009 due to the global financial crisis and the consequent decline in trade... The increase in the country’s current account deficit for 2008 is attributable to a sharp increase in global oil prices.”

And then there’s overpopulation:
“The World Bank study Poverty Assessment in Guatemala reported that the country reduced its poverty rate from 56 percent to 51 percent between 2000 and 2006. However, official figures indicate that poverty rose to 59.3 percent in 2014. Of all people living in poverty in the country, 52 percent are indigenous...”

With an economy supported by Emigration:
“....World Bank acknowledged that Guatemala maintains one of the best economic performances in Latin America, achieving rates of growth above 3% since 2012 and around 4% in 2015, thanks to prudent macroeconomic management...Economists are in agreement that this stability has in large part been brought about by revenues generated by family members – the direct result of CONSTANT EMIGRATION (emphasis added) …
...The Bank of Guatemala (Banguat) made it known that transfers of money from abroad were in excess of 6.28 billion US dollars at the close of 2015 representing an increase of 13.4 percentage points over 2014 (5.54 billion US dollars).
As a result of this and other factors, Guatemala continues to be the largest economy in Central America...

Because of lack of Social Progress:
“The World Bank insists that higher economic growth might encourage plans to reduce poverty though it admits that policies in favour of the poor would only produce marginal improvements due to the sizeable and accumulated effects of a lack of social progress.
However, the document does point out that if Guatemala grows at 5% annually over the next years and this growth does not come at the expense of the poor the impact on poverty and equality will be significant.
And it adds that with this, levels of poverty will be reduced by one additional percentage point at the end of 2016...”

didn’t see much about global warming or climate change, did you?
and we get, an army of people who have no marketable skills other than substinence farming, which in America has long gone mechanized and automated, or carpentry skills too primitive for Municipal Code, and no concept of 9-5/365. Most speak regional dialects, not Spanish. And women with babies with no language skills aren’t going to be working any time soon, or at all without job training and even then at no more than minimum wage subsistence levels. 60% have no basic education because their government doesn’t have a tax base large enough to support the expense. Between American Foreign Aid, investments in manufacturing, and Emigrant Remittances, they may be the largest economy in central America, but there is no country without the US, so they might as well stay in place.
