Re: THE NEW One and Only Climate Change Whatever...

I haven't seen the article to which you refer.

Females normally have 2 cubs. How many fewer than that do you figure they have?

Gary, I have been unable to locate the article again that talks about the polar bear problems of less fur and fewer cubs, but I may have stumbled upon the explanation.....As they attempt to adapt to warmer temperatures, well you see...the clip is self explanatory.

Re: THE NEW One and Only Climate Change Whatever...

Gary, why are posting an article from last week?
Your article about a survey that claims polar bear numbers are increasing, is being refuted by reports this week that the survey is biased in order to justify an increase in the harvest. hmmm......who's right, I don't know. But I also ran across reports that polar bears are losing fur and having fewer cubs.

The Polar Bear scare around Hudson Bay seems to be getting debunked. I've been giving winter weather reports from that area for some time.

It may soon be easier to ignore any aspect of science (if you live in certain states of the U.S. of A. - especially Tennessee... the latest player):

The opinions seem to change as they find older fossils.

"On March 22 the province released its report on its two-year review of the feed-in tariff (FIT), which is the program that’s been driving solar panel installations on buildings across Ottawa and the rest of Ontario.

The news is good. Enough renewable energy projects have been approved since the FIT program started to replace four major coal power plants, according to one source. Greenhouse Gas emissions from electricity generation in Ontario are now only a third of what they were in 2003.

The province claims that these clean energy initiatives have created more than 20,000 jobs in Ontario and created a green tech manufacturing sector. The changes have also stimulated more than $27 billion in private-sector investment.

This underscores the importance of what many are calling the best clean energy approach in North America."

Re: THE NEW One and Only Climate Change Whatever...

Paul, you won't make any progress by citing rhetoric aimed at the believers.

That article is filled with "These people are evil because climate change is real, and these biased people say otherwise". It has no persuasive merit.

And that is why they fail.

Re: Peak oil arrives,... in the year 2400,... maybe

In twenty years the oil monopoly will be a distant memory and oil will cost less and not more than it does today (in inflation adjusted dollars).

That's hard to know. They have to keep drilling and finding to even stand still on the oil output. That keeps getting more expensive. There's also the recovery rate from a field. It can be as low as 10% or as high as 50 to 80 percent depending on the expensive enhanced recovery used and other factors.

If the governments in Canada and the U.S. were funding the drilling your assertion might be right. But it's companies and they and their investors want a return.

Watch what happens the next year with natural gas in North America and the producing companies which have been finding and drilling and have a debt load to carry as a result.

Re: Peak oil arrives,... in the year 2400,... maybe

Wow, that response is as absurdly distopic as the article is absurdly utopic.

I don't think that the original article was particularly utopic. The fact is, there are many more years of oil available today than there were when I first started getting involved in these discussions of chicken little theories. The chicken littles don't want us to use this oil. Hence these political machinations to stop us from drilling and building pipelines. Whatever food problems there are can easily be reduced by ending the idiotic practice of putting ethanol in gasoline thereby diverting a large part of the food supply into something that reduces the efficiency of gasoline.

In twenty years the oil monopoly will be a distant memory and oil will cost less and not more than it does today (in inflation adjusted dollars).

Overpopulation? Increase education and free subjugated women everywhere. Watch the birth rate drop.

Re: Peak oil arrives,... in the year 2400,... maybe

To me, the article is deeply flawed and completely utopic....They forget that with no humans left on the planet they will have no customers to sell their oil to. One can only hope that humanity will one day prevail before it is too late...

The last I heard the world population is growing and food supply is the challenge.

Oil helps to pay the grants given to scientists.
