Submission + - MIT Professor questions CO2 causing Climate change

Amigan writes: Richard Lindzen (Prof Emeritus MIT) and William Happer (Prof Emeritus Princeton) have published a paper entitled "Physics Demonstrates that increasing Greenhouse Gases cannot cause dangerous warming, extreme weather or any harm"

In the paper they point out that scientific evidence concerning GHG is ignored, while opinion is substituted for science. They also point out how/why Net Zero is a flawed policy.

"It is astounding that one of the most complex questions in physics (namely, the behavior of a multi-phase, radiatively active, turbulent fluid) should be labeled by the government — and funding agencies it controls — to be so settled that skeptics are silenced. The models supporting the climate-crisis narrative make predictions that utterly fail to match the observations of what they purport to predict. This failure means in science they should never be used. Unfortunately, this peculiar situation is particularly dangerous because many world leaders have abandoned the science and intellectual rigor bequeathed to us by the Enlightenment and its forebears.
Thus, the scientific method is very simple and very profound.
Does the theory work with observations? If not, it is rejected and not used."

Those were the days when you could go to the public library and check out books that held the published BASIC code for various games. There were many hours spent as you typed the different games in, but when you were done you had a game to play and you felt like you had accomplished something!

You mean his EOs to delay/change/alter the ACA? When Congress attempted to pass "into law" his EO on the delay, he announce he would veto it? It *is* good to be king. Note the 2nd paragraph here - delay that it was a bill to do what the Administration had already announced. Enforcing the law is the Executive branch's job, not changing it.

Comment government closed dealerships in bailout (Score 2) 141

2009 was a momentous/turbulent year for US automobile mfgs. When the Auto Czar decide to ram through the bankruptcy rules for GM, many dealerships were closed in the restructuring. Could others see the handwriting on the wall as a Dem administration was determining whether they could stay in business or not - even if they were profitable - and decided that Republicans were a better bet?

To be totally transparent, I'm one of the many who lost their investment in GM corporate bonds as the current administration rewrote bankruptcy law to screw secured (like me) creditors.
