  1. Manhattan Declaration on Climate Change
    “Global warming” is not a global crisis
    […]
    Hereby declare:
    That current plans to restrict anthropogenic CO2 emissions are a dangerous misallocation of intellectual capital and resources that should be dedicated to solving humanity’s real and serious problems.
    That there is no convincing evidence that CO2 emissions from modern industrial activity has in the past, is now, or will in the future cause catastrophic climate change.
    That attempts by governments to inflict taxes and costly regulations on industry and individual citizens with the aim of reducing emissions of CO2 will pointlessly curtail the prosperity of the West and progress of developing nations without affecting climate.
    That adaptation as needed is massively more cost-effective than any attempted mitigation and that a focus on such mitigation will divert the attention and resources of governments away from addressing the real problems of their peoples.
    That human-caused climate change is not a global crisis.
    Now, therefore, we recommend –
    That world leaders reject the views expressed by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change as well as popular, but misguided works such as “An Inconvenient Truth.”
    That all taxes, regulations, and other interventions intended to reduce emissions of CO2 be abandoned forthwith.
    Agreed at New York, 4 March 2008 …-

  2. Oil Shortage??
    ** What are the global resources in place? Estimates vary. But approximately six to eight trillion barrels each for conventional and unconventional oil resources (shale oil, tar sands, extra heavy oil) represent probable figures — inclusive of future discoveries. As a matter of context, the globe has consumed only one out of a grand total of 12 to 16 trillion barrels underground. **

    ** This benchmark, established over the past century, is poised to change upward. Modern science and unfolding technologies will, in all likelihood, double recovery efficiencies. Even a 10% gain in extraction efficiency on a global scale will unlock 1.2 to 1.6 trillion barrels of extra resources — an additional 50-year supply at current consumption rates.**

    C*mon ExxonMobile, Chevron and Shell, get real! = TG

  3. TG – go take a few basic physics courses; include thermodynamics in the list.
    Sheesh!

  7. As far as that new engine design goes, build one! Keep testing and see if the theories people come up with, really bear out!
    A working model tells the story with realworld results.
    I’m not against it, just test and test and test, a working model. That’s probably going on already.
    I have my fingers crossed. Any improvement will be good!

  8. Just watched an interview with a 17 yr old girl, (on CNN) who was the little girl in Hillory’s red phone ad.
    Seems that is stock photo from 8 yrs ago, and the grown up girl today is a strong Obama supporter.
    After the trouble Jason got in for blaming a stock photo as proof of conservative porn, seems one should be very careful of using stock photos and images.
    She wants to do an ad with Obama.
    If Obama gets the nomination at least he will know how low the Clinton machine will go to sabatoge his election.

  9. Tenebris,
    Obviosly, you are the expert. No use my learning what you already know.
    BTW, you realize that*s the Wall Street Journal experts and not my wild imagination. eh? = TG
