Comments for Climate Etc.

We are such a fragile species — I don’t know how we’ve managed to survive this long. The threat of nuclear annihilation during the cold war should have wiped us out.

Scientists have that.
It is called laboratories where they can ignore all parameters outside of observations.

We get *#%& possums in the roof too LOL

Have you heard of ANY nuclear testing in space?
No.
They need pressure around them to work which space does not have.

Climate alarmism drives me crazy.

So but for the radiation, you could ‘stand’ next to a nuclear bomb as it is detonated in space, and suffer no effects at all ?

It is true that the children are hearing this scare mongering. The real scientific question is then how much is this hysteria traumatizing them? Are Hansen & Co (hence NASA) creating a future fearing generation?

Joe’s world writes “Have you heard of ANY nuclear testing in space?”

I dont know if this is a serious question. Because, yes, there was a nuclear test in space.

I think it was designed to test the theories of Kristopholous (?sp).

If hunter could comment without reflexive anti-environmental screeching, I might.

Though I suspect that since his initial comments have been shown to be supremely ignorant, he won’t be back.

Awful … 142 bbls per day. For ALL wells in production.

5 million dollars a year.

And the’ve doubled production from Feb 2010 with only 400 more wells.

I think your sourceis lying.

Liquids are way up. They are actually better than oil money-wise.

Yep, I am getting depressed. Our tax dollars support this kind of absolute junk. But there is a bright side. This kind of completely unsubstantiated garbage simply makes people more skeptical.

And methane hydrates are coming.

OH NOES! Not more fossil fuels!!! The HORROR!!!! Say it ain’t so!!!

Please forgive me. I’m suffering the severe psychological effects from fossil fuels. The HORROR!!!

If you want to help, please help us, help them. And if you’re in the SF area and would like to lend a helping hand, just contact me through Judith.

Beth, you may remember the old song, “Plastic Jesus” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-JxnK4GKhA
– try this, to the tune:

Weeell…,
I don’t care if it rains or freezes,
Cause I’m damn sure I know the reason’s
You, your wife, your kids,
And your damn car.
Me and my kind can’t be to blame,
‘Cause we all agree and we think the same,
It’s you, your wife, your kids
And your damn car.

refrain;
Global Warming, Global Warming,
It’s the best fun we’ve all had since Y2K,
It makes us feel important,
To listen to Al Gore, and chant,
And hope to hell it never goes away!

Now add sanctimonious, self-congratulatory verses, ad infinitum…. Just to make it fun – all verses should end with “and your damn car”

The statisticians are the worst

Indeed,the China problem is well identified undereporting of GHG
emmissions.The Revisions by the PRC NBS is still substantive, ie around 18% in coal production alone eg Tu 2011

* Up to 100 to 200 Mt of coal output may be underreported in Shanxi in recent years,
which needs to be corrected by the Shanxi Bureau of Statistics.
* Up to 300 to 600 Mt of coal output may be underreported at the national level in recent
years, which needs to be corrected by the National Bureau of Statistics.
*The coal supply statistical revisions by the NBS in 2006 and 2010 have not fully corrected the aforementioned statistical distortion.

Currently, the size of grey markets in the Chinese coal value chain seems to have grown to dangerous levels that are too significant to be ignored; it is recommended that the Chinese government should consider assessing the current situation and fixing any inconsistency within its statistical reporting system. Otherwise, ongoing coal statistical distortion is likely to not only severely undermine China’s policy initiatives on energy conservation and carbon intensity abatement in the years to come, but also to make it difficult for the international community to
verify policy achievements claimed by the Chinese government.

I’m of the opinion that crude oil is the most concentrated and wondrous fuel that mankind has ever worked with. It is so extraordinary in its energy density, able to power jumbo jets with ease, that it is sad that we have squandered it without really taking advantage of it in developing a worthy successor.

Perhaps we will at some point.

As it is, nothing comes close to conventional crude oil’s Energy Return on Energy Investment.
