What Would We Do Without Experts?

1. Those same “experts” are attempting to KILL natural gas use in the State of CA. As with all insanity, it started in Berkeley and has now spread to the State of CA leftist regulators. The State’s supermajority of leftist Legislators cannot abide the prosperity of a fossil-fuel society. As always, they are so thoroughly disconnected from reality … like not having a CLUE about HOW food shows up in their local Whole Foods in shiny, colorful, packages. Not a clue … until they volunteer to take it all away.

      Somebody’s mom thought you’d appreciate this.

2. Futurists NEVER correctly take into account engineering innovations. They either predict worst case scenarios with no technological advances or crazy over-the-top predictions without any understanding of basic technology. It would be great if anyone making such predictions was forced to take a basic course in both Physics and Computer Science before mouthing off so ignorantly.

3. In 2010, the US was just two years into the Obamugabe administration and it’s easy to see predictions of conservative growth under him. Bureaucrats making the predictions aren’t exactly close to the frackers who were busy plying their trade during the last decade. The opposite will happen if Fauxcahontas wins in November and bans hydraulic fracking.

4. What a BS (Obama clutching) report on nothing… I don’t care about Coal or Carbon emissions, the issue is MUTE with me….The Planet will do what Planet’s do… Maybe we could eradicate Radishes & Cabbage to reduce methane Gas, and convince the weak minded that the eradicators are World Hero’s….Nonsense does employee most brain dead PhD’s after all only they know that true science doesn’t exist, except at a Clown Circus…

5. Emissions fell because the market is favoring natural gas over coal.

   1. no malla ass, emissions fell because MORE gas was made available by fracking, try getting rite at least once in your ventures here, demand without supply is a non starter, but supply can drive demand

6. As Yogi Berra said, “It’s tough to make predictions, especially about the future.”

7. When the media offers up an expert,be sure it is as smart as the urnalist presenting.
   And we know what kind of smarts our Presstitutes have.

8. Maybe Climate Scientists would be willing to build oil execs one of their foolproof computer models, guaranteed to predict the future accurately.

9. I have seen articles going back to the beginning of the 20th-century warning that we will run out of oil within a
   decade. There was a long article in The American Spectator back in the 90s that laid to rest the whole “fossil
   fuel” theory. The article suggested that oil is more likely due to Methane and other gasses that were trapped during
   the formation of the planet. This makes more sense than the dead Dinosaur, rotting plant mass theory. Having
   worked in the oil industry, I learned that underproducing wells that were capped off decades before showed
   signs of increasing levels. If this new theory is correct, oil is a nearly inexhaustible resource.

   The science writer Michael Fumento wrote a piece about oil, which prompted me to send him an E-mail. I asked him
   about the Gulf War-era prediction that the Earth had some 3-5 hundred years of known oil reserves. My question was
   if this is the case, we would all be tooling around in cold fusion-powered Jetson’s flying cars. The younger generation
   will be clueless about the way I punctuated the E-mail. Bddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd.
   Fumento agreed with my assertion that technology would exist that far into the future, that might make the internal
   combustion engine obsolete.
