Global warming...

[Lord Chatterley]

And the latest country to allow totally uncontrolled capitalism appears to have gone from poverty to massive expansion, with plenty of signs of overtaking the USA in about 10 years... China. All controls were removed and things were left pure.

It works beautifully... Its new, will need some controls, and has problems, but billions are no longer in the desperate poverty that they were.

Want to be poor, go broke? Then dilute capitalism, add too many controls. And if not, do as china... Or Hong Kong...

Check out east/west Germany differences after the war too...

Socialism is fair, everyone is poor.
Capitalism is unfair, but the poorest are as rich as the average in a socialist country or better. More people eat and suffer less.

You got that 10 years forecast right - if anyone had said that in the 70's they would have been mocked.

So the models are all wrong... And this is just 1 reason why.

A skeptic is just a rational logical person. Being skeptical is a GOOD thing. It should be celebrated. I am skeptical of everything, until I see that the evidence shows it to be the correct logical answer.

That isnt the case with HUMAN CAUSED climate change. (used to be called global warming until it stopped getting warmer about 18 years ago now). And there is much evidence that says the variability is natural, and very little apart from some easily massaged or very unreliable computer models that say the opposite.

So as in the case of such things as spirits, gods, heaven and hell, being skeptical allows you o see the reality of the situation rather than being convinced by the number of fools that "believe", the "authority" figures etc.

Just like all the bull and hysteria about ozone, that was all over the news every day for 5 years, sooner or later it will all fade away.

Did you see this?

[Burgerman]

Yes. We see that every year from many newspapers however. Their job is to get as many eyes on their advertising as possible...

But the weather, and the climate, and global temperatures has ALWAYS changed, and the current tiny bit of warming (that has not actually happened for 18 years!) is simply lost in the noise if you look back a bit further. Its not remotely significant.

http://www.wheelchairdriver.com/ looks complicated. Its not, read this.

>>"In 2005, the United Nations Environment Programme predicted that climate change would create 50 million climate refugees by 2010. Question: Where are they hiding and why?"

Errr its now 2016? Where are all the climate refugees? 50 million was predicted for 2010 as they screamed about the sky falling. Should be double that by now. All predicted by the climate "models" and "man made" warming. Which is continuing to accelerate if you believe the warmist's and their "models". So then... Where are they all?

Or are they wrong.

We need to use more fossil fuels not less.
