Comment More stupidity (Score 1) 59

When combusted this fuel produces the same greenhouse gases as fuel thats come from oil or coal.
Once again these people call themselves scientists, yet they are ignore the most important problem
with combustible fuels. I suppose they think this is a clever way of dealing with plastics waste, yet at the
same time starting new business that cannot exist unless our society is wasteful. Reducing the honus
on individuals and companies to tackle the climate and avoid single use plastics.

Once again more validation that we are on a trajectory to Socio-Economic Collapse ,set against a background
of climate breakdown. There is only a 5% chance that we avoid the end of this civilisation - especially if were
funding and researching new ways to pollute under the guise of "sustainability" or "clean energy" its utter bollocks
or should i say #Greenwash ...

A waste of money and time researching on a technology that achieves nothing.

How about the track record of science, like respectable doctors in Garfield's time dismissing the idea of handwashing before surgery, because "what you can't see can't hurt you"?

Remember the parg in Cargo Cult Science about students replicating Millikan's error in his oil drop experiment because they wanted their data to agree with his?

How much of that is going on today?

Did you forget that inertia creates the far side bulge, and that differences in ocean depth and coastlines etc. dwarf the kind of gravitational effect you're trying to make the dominant factor, so in reality, you cannot claim that the bulges are unequal within the margin of error?
