Opinion: Feds Push Oil

Why don’t you judge Tony Heller/Steve Goddard for yourself: https://realclimatescience.com/2019/10/new-video-50-years-of-failed-nasa-climate-forecasts/ Dr. James Hansen was one of the early proponents of AGW in the 1980s which led to a series of failed apocalyptic climate predictions by Climate Scientists. We are familiar with them now: ice free summer in the Arctic by 2015, island nations such as the Maldives submerged by 2018, after the year 2000 snow will be a rare and exciting event, sea ice decline decimating polar bear population. When Climate (political) Scientists go on the record that their hypothesis will result in specific catastrophes, but the catastrophes don’t occur, they shouldn’t double down with more useless predictions. At this rate AGW likely will go down as a hoax comparable to Piltdown Man or Canals on Mars. Don’t use derogatory language such as “deniers”, “simpletons”, “idiots”, “lackeys”, “shills”, “trolls” and etc to dehumanize those you disagree with. The use of denier is especially disgusting because it equates those you disagree with on the same level as holocaust deniers. Prediction failure is basically a hypothesis killer in any scientific endeavor. I have my reasons for not accepting AGW. That does not make me a “reality denier”. My livelihood depends on the proper application of physics and chemistry using the scientific method to solve complex semiconductor problems. Calling people like myself and many other Edhatters “anti-science” is quite offensive. Bullying people into silence isn’t debate, it’s just bullying.

It is amazing people still want to deny there is a climate/ozone problem. If you say it is not true you don't have to do anything to help save the environment, or show any concern. The ocean is warming making hurricanes stronger and coming more often, there are islands washing residents off the land, more extreme temperatures. But hey, just deny and it is all "not problem".

Critical thinking? Posting non-stop URLs to iffy pseudo-science is not thinking at all. Better to be positive and supportive than a "critical thinking" insult machine.

I hope Everyone here reads this https://apnews.com/bd45c372caf118ec99964ea547880cd0 with the exact same 10yr deadline issued by the same UN scientists, only it was in... 1989. Notice the alarmism and same sea level rise predictions, dust bowl, Maldives submerged all by 2000...

When exercising critical thinking in regards to anthropogenic global warming, is it more rational to give credence to random anonymous internet trolls, or to look at what the actual climate science and decades of collected data tell us? ================================================================================ https://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/ ================================================================================ http://www.skepticalscience.com/ ================================================================================ http://bit.ly/1pufueQ

Today's wild predictions about climate doom are likely to be just as true as yesteryear's. In other words, completely wrong. The major difference is today's Americans are far more gullible and more likely to spend trillions fighting global warming.

China produces more CO2 emissions than USA and Europe combined. When are you going to be translating this op-ed into mandarin so Greta can read it to them?

If they continue with “dangerous drilling and extraction processes, extreme oil drilling,” and “cram big new oil development down our throats, rape our water, land, air, and climate,” we will have to “cope with a burning planet.” There, that’s better, put all of the scary words into a single sentence.

Coal displaced wood for steam production enabling the industrial revolution and train transportation thus preventing deforestation. The first petroleum discovery led to kerosene displacing whale oil for lamps before electricity thus stopping the wholesale slaughter of whales for interior lighting. Refined petroleum products then led the way to transportation innovation resulting in modern air travel. Let me know when you book your flight on an electric or wood fired jet. We need lots of types of energy sources, but calling coal and petroleum failed and ignorant is as just being a latter day Luddite.

Comrade Trump decimated the EPA.

Fossil carbon for fuel is a toxic failed technology of the ignorant past.

We need to be energy independent. By all means possible....wind....solar....hydro....and even, yes, oil production.
