What A Waste
 

What a waste of time, talent, money and pursuit of opportunities that really matter.

“Global warming is the biggest scam in history. I am amazed, appalled and highly offended by it.”– Meteorologist and founder of the Weather Channel, John Coleman.

Facts gleaned from various articles:

Obama pulls a number out of a hat that says that 99.5 percent of scientists agree that there is man-made climate change. I doubt you can get 99.5 percent of any group to agree on anything, even the best way to make toast. It is a made up number.

A gallon of ethanol was twice as expensive as a gallon of gasoline.

The Government Accountability Office (GAO) announced that biofuels, the major one being corn, are costly, take a long time to produce (a growing season to be exact) and will neither make America less dependent on Middle Eastern oil or lower CO2 emissions.

The Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program, which has set a grandiose target of 857 billion barrels by 2022, something that the GAO now says is impossible. You would have thought somebody would have said you would need to plant 80 percent of cropland in America's heartland

The kicker; research by the government found out that biofuels emit more carbon dioxide than gasoline!

From 2013 through 2015 the federal government plowed more than $1.1 billion into research and development of advanced biofuels. More than half the corn grown in America is used for ethanol, taking up 50,000 acres that could be used for corn which makes up 95 percent of the total feed grain consumed by livestock. More corn thrown into the gas tank makes for higher corn prices at the table. And it is not just corn; the vast acreage for growing fuel, increases the price of beef, pork, poultry and even fish. Inflation across the country is offset by the deflation resulting from the $10 billion a year charged to motorists to pump watered down gasoline into the fuel tank.

If you didn’t think it could get any worse, it does. Ethanol added into gasoline results in up to 10 percent lower mileage. And as any hot rod driver will tell you, gas mixed with ethanol causes a noticeable reduction in performance.

Chet Thompson, president of the American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers, stated the obvious; that the EPA plan is “completely detached from market realities and confirms once again that congress must take immediate action to remedy this broken program.”

Unfortunately biofuels are just one chink in the Green’s armor. The fundamental fact would strip them naked if there is no man-made climate change. This should be borne out by the fact that temperatures have not risen in the past 15 years and the temperatures that over the past couple of decades are well within the ranges earth has had over the past millennial.

And consider this, one that even the Greens cannot dispute, are the facts stated in the March 27, 2009, issue of The Daily Signal:

Out of the entire atmospheric makeup, only one to two percent is made up of greenhouse gases with the majority being nitrogen (about 78 percent) and oxygen (about 21 percent). Of that two percent, “planet-killing” carbon dioxide comprises only 3.62 percent while water vapor encompasses 95 percent. And of the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, humans cause only 3.4 percent of annual CO2 emissions. What does this all boil down to?

The truth is climate change has become a religion and an extremist one at that. Some of the behavior of hard core environmentalists is similar to Islam.

According to a March 11 article in London’s Sunday Telegraph:

Timothy Ball, a former climatology professor at the University of Winnipeg in Canada, has received five death threats since he started questioning man’s impact on climate change. Richard Lindzen, professor of Atmospheric Science at MIT, said, “Scientists who dissent from the alarmism have seen their funds disappear, their work derided, and themselves labeled as industry stooges.” Nigel Calder, a former editor of New Scientist, said, “Governments are trying to achieve unanimity by stifling any scientist who disagrees. Einstein could not have got funding under the present system.”

But you will not find these facts on climate change because the mainstream media, like Obama and other former presidents, answer to the globalists.

Personal Best Regards:

EVERYTHING they do...comes down to money...they will lie. cheat, and steal to get it.

Get them ALL out...EVERY incumbent, EVERY D or R.

The world could have gone thru this same cycle before but over many more years.......

The one thing that bothers me is the ice caps are in fact decreasing?

The ocean reefs are reacting to temp change coral reefs are dying, fish are moving to cooler water.

Just not sure but cleaning up our environment surly can't harm it!!!

Trump nominates an EPA chief who is suing the EPA...go figure. Between the two of them all of the regulations passed by the Obama administration will soon be history.

The only good news in all of this is Mar-A-Lago will soon be six feet under water.

That's what a change candidate does best, change stuff!!!

Hate to disappoint you, but you'll never live to see it...IF it ever happens.

Interesting post, thanks.
