The Joy Of Tethering

My brand new drive train broke when riding my bicycle over to Whole Foods this morning. So I am in the bike shop now with my new detachable touchpad. It takes about one minute to boot and get connected.

List: 36 Of Obama’s Taxpayer-Funded Green Energy Failures – Fox Nation

Now he blames climate skeptics for the technology failures he backed. This is spectacularly irrational, but there is a path forward for him.

Pick a heavily Democratic state like Rhode Island or Vermont, and turn it into a green energy demonstration. Run the entire state off green energy generated inside the state borders, and no one will be able to doubt the viability of the technology. Senators Sanders and Whitehouse would surely go along with this.

Are they serious about green energy, or are they just witch burners looking for someone to blame for their failures?

Whack Job Of The Day

Check out this world class nut case who said she wanted to interview me.

Me :

Hope,

I hope you can keep an open mind, be civil and learn from me. That is the key to being a successful adult.

When would you like to do the interview?

ScreenHunter_7783 Mar. 07 18.10

Can you keep an open mind that might admit science’s work on AGW is valid?

https://www.google.com/search?q=scientific+american+dark+money&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

http://www.aip.org/history/climate/index.htm

https://www.ipcc.ch/pdf/assessment-report/ar4/wg1/ar4-wg1-chapter1.pdf

What’s your take on how all these scientists are faking a math based science .. yet are able to make the math add up across disciplines, contents and decades in the greatest cabal of gangster thug scientists ever known to science?

How do they make all that fake math add up?

(Please don’t refer to the fake climate gate scandal as your answer there .. try to be original and use cited argument, thanks)

I’m available any day this week except Monday. What time zone are you in? I’m in Cali.

My response

Hope,

Scientists who are skeptics get attacked, ostracized and have their funding cut off. The White House openly states at the top of BarackObama.com that they are attacking skeptics.

My friend Dr. Bill Gray at CSU had his funding cut off by Al Gore in 1993, despite being the most respected hurricane forecaster in the world. He never got another penny of funding, because he is a skeptic.

Intimidation works. There is huge amounts of money coming from people who have a global warming agenda, and almost none for skeptics. I know, because I have been unable to raise any. Anyone in it for the money would choose to be an alarmist. Period.

I will only agree to the interview if you agree to use it only unedited and complete as taped live. No cutting pieces out and making hit pieces. That is dirty pool and I will have no part of it.

ScreenHunter_7783 Mar. 07 18.10

I hear a ‘no’, as trained you will not be open to the idea that climate science is valid. Is that what I hear you saying, yes or no?

BUSH also fired climate scientists that did not toe HIS line:

http://www.ucsusa.org/our-work/center-science-and-democracy/promoting-scientific-integrity/manipulation-of-global.html

As was one of MY friends: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_7FK2q2eJ4

You would never weather an interview with me.  I will destroy your thin facade of intellectual acumen with ease and broadcast it – much like Merchant of Doubt does with Moreno – he will soon be exposed and relegated to the nearest street corner to scream his insanities..where he belongs.

Your polemics are weak – I can easily cite millions made by oil paid denier scientists. If you believe Big Oil is being bullied by the Big Green’s funding, you are about to get exposed as an oil paid talking points mindless parrot.

And I see you can not address the question about how they make all those math based lies add up. It’s an inane position and you know it.

I’d advise you to put on your seat belt. The industry funded climate change denial machine will humiliate the radical right conservative cause this year – and your cabal will be seen as the humanity destroying profit machine it is, lying ot the American people to defend the massive fossil fuel entrenched power.

http://priceofoil.org/campaigns/separate-oil-and-state/dirty-energy-money/

I’d advise you to run. You are simply giving me more and more material proving my point. Know this – I am here to expose your career as a misinformationist. I won’t be swayed and I will achieve my goal. My nation deserves to have a real conversation about energy. As long as industry trained talking points propagandists like yourself have a mike, that is impossible.

My response

I have no ties with any industry with any interest in climate. I do my own work. Your claims are scurrilous, unfounded and disgusting.

The question “climate science is valid yes/no?” indicates that you have no idea what science is about. Science consists of thousands of different ideas, not a statement of truth from the borg.

Is this climate science valid?

I also receive no funding. Do you lie about people as a general practice?

I gave you the terms of the interview. Live, complete, unedited. No use of the media in any other form permitted. Do you agree to that, yes or no?

ScreenHunter_7783 Mar. 07 18.10

That’s the best you’ve got?

I’d need to go back over the convo to highlight every strawman and deflection you post. I’ll get to that later if I feel it’s worth my time.

So, you said you do interviews ‘all of the time’, but if anyone wants to watch, they have to tune into live stream? So you have like 0 – 12 viewers per interview? You don’t allow the entire uncut convo to be rebroadcast .. and people agree to this “all the time”? Do you wonder why I don’t buy that? I can’t find one link to a past live stream interview of you. What if someone watching the livecast records and edits it? Yet no one does? If you can’t produce evidence that you do interviews “all of the time”, I’ll go with you’re fibbing about that, too.

I have no doubt you would not agree to an interview with me even if I agree to only rebroadcast it uncut.

Please do re-read .. I don’t believe I’ve EVER claimed you are industry paid. You are industry trained .. you repeat industry’s propaganda talking points .. would you need me to list those for you?

My response

I have no industry training or ties. I ride my bicycle everywhere. I am a lifelong environmentalist. I fought for the Clean Air Act. I volunteered two summers as a wilderness ranger. I hate cars. You have no idea who I am.

Do you agree to my terms, or are you going to chicken out?

ScreenHunter_7783 Mar. 07 18.10

Wow.. fabulous material. Love the ad hom, the blind faith in you .. even when your claims are not backed up by your article .. if anyone looked closely .. but they don’t. I love how that one got 66 comments and how drawn they all are to personal attack. Will you post the first two that you omitted please? So funny – after you berate me for supposed out of context work.   I’m more than happy to do an interview live stream. Someone WILL record it and edit it, obviously .. you are well known name (politicians sadly quote you) – and you will have to admit you lied about doing past interviews “all of the time”.  I was hoping you would post the email chain, tho. Thanks.

My response

It is unacceptable that the interview is edited

BTW – “personal attack” seems to be your entire MO. You even brag about it.

In the mind of climate alarmists, the same weather as 1934 proves the climate is changing.

Maryland Extreme Ice Survey

I took my team of intrepid researchers out to explore Chesapeake Bay ice this afternoon, and my very worst fears were realized. It is all first year ice, and unlikely to survive through the summer.

The dire consequence of this is that Maryland Polar Bears will have to swim for miles to avoid having to pay tolls on the bridge.
