For those interested in climate change issues, here are two interesting and recently published articles and one interview. I find the article about the oil industry wanting help in building sea walls especially ironic!

MCD'S MORE FAKE NEWS...BUT what we do know about MCD and her knowledge of energy is practically zilch. Only what she reads and cherry picks for her vision of the day...

Go back to bed and wake up with a goal of understanding energy of the past and the future. So far it's way over your head.

Nice ad hominem!

Here's some news which is somewhat hopeful.

"Canadian Company Says It Can Make Cost-Effective Fuel by Sucking Carbon Dioxide from the Air"

So what MCD come back is Highly cost prohibitive...what an idiot.

Yes, and the President is a traitor who is colluding with the Russians to make the United States of America a vassal state. So what is your point?

Something else to consider:

I'm sure it has absolutely nothing to do with 80 years of land and timber mismanagement by the central planners in Washington DC.

Canada was burning up, Europe was burning up... yup, definitely the fault of the "central planners" in D.C.

What's the name of that big river in Egypt?

But you know who REALLY mismanaged timber resources? Yeah, that's right - the TEACHER'S UNIONS

Canada? Europe? Same managers, same group-think. When you mismanage everything to the point of catastrophic failure, blame your incompetence on some nebulous rabbit-hat act.

Prairies full of cheat grass are courtesy of the Bureau of Land "Management". Not climate change. Forests full of beetle kill and tinder-dry dead-fall are supplied by the USFS after they traded foresters and loggers for fire contract managers. Burning a forest or a million acres of range land is the only thing these people are actually capable of doing successfully.

Tell me; does the U of M Forestry School even have classes in Forestry or sylvaculture, any more? Or is it just Contracts and Landscape Architecture?

P.S.

I'm glad to see you boys have honed up your debate skills..

Didn't Manfred Mann do a song for you, Oddy: "Blinded by the Hate"?
