'I Feel Duped on Climate Change'

[mchammer]

? Michael Moore made an anti green movie?

His angle is that capitalism has corrupted the green movement, not necessarily the green movement itself. Regardless the movie unwittingly exposes the green scam that is subsidies, inefficient energy production of renewables, etc. Hopefully the smart set realize that natural gas and next generation nuclear is the path forward. The issue isn’t capitalism, but physics.

 

[Run Pincher]

funny how that works

When has a film ever been removed due to being misleading and destructive? If that were the case then certainly Executive Action would've been at the top of the list. What a bunch of BS for something that was at least supposedly a strong theory.

I guess if it doesn't fit the Hollywood narrative that's a different story.

They do tend to run to censorship in the blink of an eye
But the law abhors pre publication censorship

Disappointed that Moore coughed up the red pill. I had read earlier that in his latest documentary he finds how misguided the green movement was and how it couldn't live up to the hype.

But then he spins it to still blame capitalism, etc. I should have expected it.

Europe sent us Greta Thunberg, the idealistic, fiery voice of climate change alarm.

They are also now supposedly cozing up to China because of Trump's policies.

Trump tariffs have Europe cozying up to China

But did you know that China uses more coal for energy production than the rest of the world combined?

Things that make you go hmmmmm...

It's shocking to me how blatant they are about censorship while pretending to be the keepers of Democracy and the Constitution which in fact is a lie because we're a Republic and they are ready to circumvent the Constitution at will through the court system.

These days, you can assume just the opposite from what they say. Their policies and even simply their attitudes are going to lead to the destruction of "Democracy," "the Constitution" and "the Republic." Open borders, censorship and PC culture are strangling the life out of the US.

No doubt about it. It's so obvious or is it just that their virtue signaling is actually a real human emotion. To give them the benefit of the doubt concerning their humanitarian side, it seems they are compelled to pursue it at all costs with the means justifying the end, which in the case of immigration, would transform our demographics dramatically.

I recall during the formulation of the Patriot Act that people on the right defended the surveillance on the grounds that, "The Constitution is not a suicide pact" which in my view is an irony of strict constructionism. Conservatives were citing limits not specifically addressed in the Constitution.

In theory, the suicide a proliferation of terrorism on our soil by virtue of unbridled immigration and civil rights enforcement to such a degree that a warrant would be nigh impossible to obtain without clear evidence of a crime in progress.

But back to their motives. If they idea is to build a patronage complex then how better than to buy votes and invite those who will perpetually and generationally remain tied to their masters?

That's true. However, had you at the time told those Republicans that some day in the near future, Democrat politicians would use the Patriot domestically to attempt an illegal coup against a future Republican president, they probably/hopefully would have all said in unison, "Hey, wait just a cotton-pickin minute"

Kind of like the RICO Act being formulated to fight the mafia and having it stretched to other forms of criminal association?

I get it that it is hard to predict all possible future outcomes, but should we have been able to foresee that a Dem President (who was possibly born in Africa) would use it in the near future to attempt a coup d'état against his succeeding Republican President before he was even installed into office? I just don't know if that was reasonably foreseeable. If I could, I would would go back in time to ask my 2001 self that.

I think we both can agree that whatever statue even remotely smacks as on point will be made on point by those in power.

If you can believe this, my Christian zealot ex-wife did the following against me:

"Austin Lawsuit Challenges No-Fault Divorce Under Obergefell

One Austin family law attorney is taking her client’s divorce case to the Texas Supreme Court, arguing that the landmark 2015 US Supreme Court decision in Obergefell v. Hodges mandating state recognition of homosexual marriage renders the state’s no-fault divorce law unconstitutional as applied to her client’s marriage."

She was denied by the Appellate Court, the Texas Supreme Court and SCOTUS. This is a segue but it was incredible that she tried to get me declared to be her husband for life citing a blood covenant but also citing Obergefell, a ruling that recognized what she considers to be a sin!

Lawyers and politicians and zealots do what they do...

This seems like a giant waste for everyone except the attorney involved

It was and it was VERY stressful and costly for me. The HUGE disappointment was the failure of the courts to slap some frivolous lawsuit penalty on her or her attorney. That was unbelievable to me.

Too bad you are not in federal court. Those judges get pretty sick of frivolous suits and are more willing to smack vexatious litigants down.

It was bad. We asked for relief but was only awarded court costs... I will say a judge at the district level levied a $1,000 fine (?) on my ex for filing a motion to dismiss based upon "a reasonable chance of reconciliation." She cited the fact that I successfully protested the ad valorem valuation on our home (this was prior to the divorce; community property). It was a joke. I handled it because I had a vested interest at the time given I was making the house payment like a good little boy.

But that was the only real sanction or pain she received. She paid it on the day it was due (six months later).

Yes. The entire family is in shock. There is so much more to it. It's caused huge problems for her relationship with our children and her side of the family too. They are not pleased. Luckily, they are all supportive of me.

As Mexico is poised to plunge into its worst recession in recent-memory the leftist president is making cuts and pulling the plug on subsidy dependent intermittent power from wind and solar that has been driving up the cost of electricity for its financially challenged population.

Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador won the 2018 election by a landslide. His approach to government spending — even in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic fallout — might best be compared to that of conservative icons Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher.

Recognizing that industrial wind and solar electricity bring little to no value to electrical grids, Mexico is moving to avoid the higher electrical prices experienced by Germany, Denmark, Great Britain, South Australia, California, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and other governments that have heavily subsidized their supply of intermittent electricity.

Well at least AMLO is pulling the plug on wind and solar based on fact versus opinion and emotion

@Mr. Deez What happened to the European heat wave this summer? Global warming only works in odd years? LULZ

Sorry, I should have checked before posting. Apparently global warming will be 2 day affair this summer.

 

[mchammer]

I can never contemplate how someone calls 5-7 days of hot weather a heatwave followed by 4 weeks of lows in the 60’s. Austin hit >96F for 60 straight days one summer in the 90’s. That is a heatwave. How can you take these people seriously?

 

[mchammer]

Sorry, I should have checked before posting. Apparently global warming will be 1-2 day affair this summer.

By the way, a 30 degree differential in high and lows is only possible in dry weather, so the heat there isn’t even humid.

 

[Crockett]

I'm no skeptic on climate change. I believe it's real. That said, not all the consequences are negative.
This has been a mild summer in Denton County. It's been over 100 only a handful of times and well timed rains have my lawn lush watering an average of less than once a week. That s weather, not climate, but I am enjoying it.
