T. Boone Pickens actually makes sense. Not with wind, really, but with Natural Gas.

Other success stories are the rabbits in Australia and the Indian Mongoose in Hawaii.

To Ray,

I find the term “scientific ignorance” to be an oxymoron. The goal of science is to dispel ignorance, not propagate ignorance as the media and scientists, who whore out their disciplines, are doing. On second thought, perhaps a new area of study can evolve from the current situation. A new science, the science of ignorance, may be developed. There is a plethora of cases available to study for the development of theory and avenues of research.

To All,

The problem in science now is the excess of solutions and a paucity of problems. The grant money will go to the scientist who will invent the best problem for his solution.

To David Gladstone,

Social engineering is a euphemism for government control.

To retired engineer,

I see that you recognize that the environmentalists use the Fearless Fosdick method: Destroy, in order to protect.

To All Agin,

The solution to global warming/climate change that I favor are a multitude of gold-coated Mylar umbrellas, several miles in diameter and in geo-synchronous orbit, that can be opened and closed on command by ground control, with a number in lower orbit that can be applied to local hot-spots.

has an error in it, I meant to write 5.15 billion tonnes of CO2 is ONE part per million, not .15. Not that anyone noticed.
Sigh.

Anthony, where’s an edit button when you need one?

AV:Let us for the sake of argument accept that there is anthropogenic warming .
BC: No, anna, this battle is too important. The enemy can not be given into, not on anything, not in any way. The stakes are too high. Agreeing with liars and frauds would be to become liars and frauds ourselves. The truth is always more powerful than lies, it’s just that the truth has to be fought for, especially once a lie as huge as AGW becomes entrenched.

We shall fight for truth and die in the effort? Is that the attitude?

The fate of western civilization, and indeed global civilization, is too important to be played at such puerille games. It is much more important that the CO2 trading and other nonsense is deflated and becomes ineffective so as not to reproduce on a huge scale the disaster of ethanol, than to have Hansen admit “me culpa, mea maxima culpa”.

You are making the same mistake of confusing politics and science. To change policies one has to be flexible and diplomatic and yielding where necessary in order to reach the true goal. It is not necessary to convert the governments and the politicians to the true science. It is enough to give them non destructive solutions to their perceived and delusional problems.
