It's posts like this that make me wish smbx had a like button, bravo.Quantumenace wrote:You're probably wasting your time. The media and government have moralized this issue so much that any dissent from the official "we're doomed" dogma is automatically labeled "evil propaganda from evil oil companies that want to sell evil affordable energy". Why do you think there's a constant attempt to conflate anyone who disagrees with Al Gore with holocaust deniers?
Any attempt to force the entire world to use cost-ineffective energy in perpetuity is completely futile. It's disturbing how the media has spun Paris as something that would actually make any difference anyway. Even by their own projections it means very little.
Why are we expected to give billions to politicians to blather, morally grandstand, and find random occurences to blame on "climate change"? Wouldn't the money we're supposed to spend on this be better spent on research to make other energy sources economical without government fiat? Maybe we'd have fusion by now if all the money given to media and politicians to make a whole generation fear for their lives was instead put into energy research.
The guy who started all of this, Roger Revelle, ended up realizing how flawed the science of climate change really was, and said in multiple letters to Congress and a magazine of his own that it was a false alarm. What did Al gore do? He called him a "senile old man" and refused any kind of debate with him. Definitely "Peace" prize worthy.
