Is anything bothering...
Is anything bothering you folks today? Aside from the election results, I mean.
It’s going to be a while before that cluster guzbuck will be decided and it most certainly be disputed for years to come. Today I’d like to tackle a subject that is less controversial; climate change.
How many of...
How many of you know the name Al Gore? Yep, that Al Gore.
He is the former politician who failed in his bid for president of the United States in 2000. Not having a government job to fall back on he jumped fully onboard the climate change bandwagon as a way to pay us back for not electing him.
Al, having no science background from what I know about him, he decided to start a speaking tour in 2001 warning us about the dangers of global warming climate change.
He even went on to publish a book in 2006 on the subject which helped him win the Nobel Prize in 2007 for his “work” on climate change. (Nobel Prizes have really become a joke of late in my opinion…but that is for another Dash)
I can remember...
I can remember back to my junior high school years when climate first became an “issue”. Scientist were very concerned because the temperatures around the world for the previous 40 years seemed to be declining and scientists were saying that we were headed for another ice age by the turn of the century if we didn’t do something.
But by the end of my high school years the scientists hedged their bet and injected aerosol hair spray cans as the culprit that would lead to a significant rise in temperatures. Big hair was a big thing in the mid to late seventies with most women, hair spray propellants surely had to be the cause of our future demise.
In the game...
In the game of life there are winners and losers. The common everyday man ends up being the loser more times than not.
Untold billions of dollars have been spend on university studies and research grants to study the effects on everything under the sun and how it relates to climate change. Businesses have been forced to comply with burdensome and expensive regulations to meet environmental regulations that are dreamed up by government agencies.
The common man...
The common man ends up the loser in paying for all the studies through taxes and higher cost of goods purchased from over regulated businesses. The winners in this game are the scientists and the universities.
Co2 is the big culprit now according to the scientists; even the Supreme Court got involved and determined Co2 to be a dangerous poisonous gas if I remember correctly. It has been a while since that decision was rendered but I remember Justice Scalia was part of that decision.
So, some of...
So, some of you might be asking why you are bringing that up now; climate change. That is a good question.
When this election stuff is over it just might be that new laws will be implemented to prohibit the discharge of all Co2 into the air from all sources if a certain party takes the presidency. I know that sounds a little absurd, but you never know.
Richard Feynman said it best, “Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts.”
I’ll never forget when Gina Mc Carthy was the administrator of EPA (from 2013 until 2017) and when answering questions before congressional committee she was asked what percentage of the atmosphere was Co2.
She didn’t know the answer. She was the head person in charge of the agency making all the burdensome regulations regarding Co2 and didn’t have a clue of the percentage.
Now, after hearing that story, does the scenario of banning the discharge of Co2 from all sources really sound that absurd?
Until next time,
Sult
