    See, no mention of man made climate change.
  2. brenthutch
    Agreed

    I read it, land use bla bla, grasslands yada yada. The point is, contrary to alarmists predictions, global fires are going down and substantially.
  4. brenthutch
    Because...... science! ”Globally, the total acreage burned by fires declined 24 percent between 1998 and 2015, according to a new paper published in Science” https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/90493/researchers-detect-a-global-drop-in-fires

    I will give credit to Obama for his decision to raid the Bin Laden compound instead of just bombing it. It was a ballsy move and a tough decision (which Biden was against BTW)

    Do you really want our boys to die in a futile attempt to remake Afghanistan into a Jeffersonian democracy? If we wanted to attack the country where 9/11 was planned, we would have invaded Germany. I say give Afghanistan to the Pashtuns and Tajiks and let them sort it out.

    Just what did Obama do in his first eleven*days in office to deserve a Noble Peace Prize, other than not being GWB. *Nominations for the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize closed just 11 days after Obama took office.

    How is North Korea not contained? They have not conducted a long range missile nor nuclear weapons test since meeting with Trump. Iran is being counterbalanced by a developing Suni/Israeli relationship. Troop levels in Afghanistan and Iraq are a fraction of what they were under Bush and Obama. Say what you will about his style he is producing results.

    No doubt, but Obama got one just for not being GWB and he didn’t even manage to close Gitmo. At least Trump has helped broker a pair of peace deals.

    Ok, here is a gem from NAE ”Many people believe that wind and solar energy are essential for replacing nonrenewable fossil fuels. They also believe that wind and solar are unique in providing energy that’s carbon-free and inexhaustible. A closer look shows that such beliefs are based on illusions and wishful thinking.” Better?

    Your refusal to engage at a substantive level reveals your inability to do so. If the Prager video was so awful it would be easy to rebut, however it isn’t and you can’t.
  14. brenthutch
    So...you give more consideration to sources that pretend to be unbiased?
  15. brenthutch
    “Pollyanna noun an excessively cheerful or optimistic person.“ See? Not a personal attack. Would you have preferred Curmudgeon? Now that I have addressed that, what specifically did you take issue with on the PragerU vid?
  16. brenthutch
    He won’t, he can’t.
  17. brenthutch
    Hey Pollyanna, very naive to suggest there is a world where bias does not exist. Bias aside, what are the facts with which you take issue?

    Now that you mention it he did test positive for COVID 19 https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwiWh_Sur-nrAhUlgnIEHSvXBlQQFjAAegQIBRAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.npr.org%2Fsections%2Flive-updates-protests-for-racial-justice%2F2020%2F06%2F04%2F869278494%2Fmedical-examiners-autopsy-reveals-george-floyd-had-positive-test-for-coronavirus&usg=AOvVaw1A3IXu2kci_o42qWL7k8hv

    This is why it’s not progress https://www.prageru.com/video/whats-wrong-with-wind-and-solar/?utm_source=Main+Mailing+List&utm_campaign=50f21f798c-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2020_04_09_06_29_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f90832343d-50f21f798c-178854846

    The dude was a convicted felon, high on multiple substances and in the process of committing another felony and resisting arrest. He might be alive today if he just followed the advice of Chris Rock

    Because it represents actual power, not some abstract touchy-feely nonsense. There is economic, political and military power and your top two (Switzerland and Singapore) have next to none on all three counts. Even if you want to include cultural influence (think music, TV and movies) your top two are a bust.
  22. brenthutch
    Geopolitically and economically it is China. Do you really think of Switzerland and Singapore as rivals to the U.S.?
  23. brenthutch
    The EU is not our competition, China is.

    https://www.forbes.com/sites/robertbryce/2020/09/06/the-trillion-dollar-reason-biden-wont-ban-fracking/#66dad47eaccf “Here’s a comparison: 34 exajoules is roughly equal to India’s total energy use in 2019. Here’s another: that increase in output – again, just the increase in domestic oil and natural gas production over that period (2005-2019) – was greater than the output of all global non-hydro renewable energy (solar, wind, and biomass) production in 2019.” ”Energy costs are particularly important to the low- and middle-income voters that Biden needs to beat Trump.” Sorry guys, no matter who wins, no Green New Deal.

    No, they just got slapped in the face with reality.
