Climate change and the Bush Administration |
This appears to be an addendum to a letter of resignation written by
Rick Piltz, who worked for the Climate Change Science Program. He gives
quite a bit of detail about how information and documents that did not
agree with the Administration's policy position on climate change were
suppressed. They apparently think that if they just don't talk about
problems, they'll go away.
What on earth is WRONG with these people? Don't they care at all about
the world their own children and grandchildren are going to inherit?

They think this is the "End Times" and there will be no children or
grandchildren. They think that any day Gawd is going to come back and take
Bush and all his Christian friends up to heaven and destroy the world behind
them, so what's the point in wasting valuable money on saving something
doomed!

I really don't think the Administration's policy position on climate
change has anything to do with belief in the "end times" or the recent
fundy "rapture" novelty. I believe it's based on what the
Administration believes will be good--very much in the short run--for
business, the economy and corporations. The Administration sees the
enormous alterations necessary to halt or even to slow down climate
change as far too expensive and extensive, cutting deep into the profits
of business as usual. Old Gotlotz will never support anything that
affects his bottom line negatively. The oil industry will lobby long
and hard against alternative fuels. The automobile industry will have
to make drastic changes to produce truly fuel-efficient vehicles. And
the masses of humanity might even have to learn to rely on public
transportation instead of the speeding little coffins we zip around in.
And what about the huge amounts of methane gas rising into the
atmosphere from all the livestock we require in order that billions and
more billions of Big-Macs can be flipped our way?

There is something disingenuous about this argument, even about
automobiles. Why wouldn't Japan or Korea do so. especially if they can
undercut US automotive sales. The reason major improvements do not
occur is because you cant get there from here. Certain improvements just
cannot be made because the physics and chemistry prevent it. example
automotive efficiency. The interest in electric cars has to deal with
electrical storage problems. This is an alternate energy source. An
energy utilization of 10% is a stellar vehicle. The losses due to
friction, heat, and resistance are huge. There really is no SYSTEMIC
agency that does this, just the cost of doing business.
The automobile industry will have
to make drastic changes to produce truly fuel-efficient vehicles. And
the masses of humanity might even have to learn to rely on public
transportation instead of the speeding little coffins we zip around in.

Jon Stewart talked about this on The Daily Show a coupld of nights ago.

between fossil fuels and global warming in reports before they get to
the president.

They also showed Bush during the 2000 debates saying that global
warming was important but we don't know enough about it to act
effectively. Then they played a clip of him in 2005 saying the same
thing. Jon Stewart commented that he had enough information to bomb
Afghanistan, Iraq, overhaul Social Security, etc. but not enough to do
anything at all about global warming. Bush doesn't even have new words
to talk about it.

Unfortunately, there's a downside to that. We only get 7 years of
relief, much of it consumed with disasters of one sort or another, and
then the final judgment condemns all of us to hell. Still, we're rid of
the fundies there too, so there's an upside to that.

Wasn't that James Watts' reasoning?
From a Bill Moyers piece, cited at:
http://www.mydd.com/story/2005/2/14/155936/039:
****
Remember James Watt, President Ronald Reagan's first secretary of the
interior? My favorite online environmental journal, the ever-engaging Grist,
reminded us recently of how James Watt told the U.S. Congress that
protecting natural resources was unimportant in light of the imminent return
of Jesus Christ. In public testimony he said, "after the last tree is
felled, Christ will come back."

Ity would be ironic indeed if it's the fundies left scratching their butt's
asking, "Where'd everybody go?"

The "After the last tree is felled..." quote, attributed to James Watt,
is almost certainly spurious, According to the major newspapers, both

Probably true, however, I remember the general gist of Watt's attitude
towards the environment being colored by his belief that the rapture was not
far off (so why worry about the environment), *at the time*, in the early
80's or so.

It is scary. I wonder what they would think if the rapture actually
came and they were the ones left behind? Could be pretty funny.
They'd be busy filling their diapers.

"As democracy is perfected, the office of president
represents, more and more closely, the inner soul
of the people. On some great and glorious day the
plain folks of the land will reach their heart's
desire at last and the White House will be adorned
by a downright moron." --- H.L. Mencken (1880 - 1956)

Would it have anything to do with certain, select people all being invited to have a beer at
some secluded place, after leaving certain possesions behind at their usual locations? With a
certain amount of embroidery, this could be really good.....

Your reply, while obviously sarcastic, does sum up the feeling of most
red state voters! God gave them the right to rape and pillage the whole
Earth in his Holy Name.

<cthompson@TAKEOUTbmcc.cuny.edu> let us all know that:
This appears to be an addendum to a letter of resignation written by
Rick Piltz, who worked for the Climate Change Science Program. He gives
quite a bit of detail about how information and documents that did not
agree with the Administration's policy position on climate change were
suppressed. They apparently think that if they just don't talk about
problems, they'll go away.
What on earth is WRONG with these people? Don't they care at all about
the world their own children and grandchildren are going to inherit?
Perhaps/perhaps not, but they also aren't going around being
Chicken Littles, either.
The time of the "Dark Ages" was during a "mini ice age".
Humans contributed exactly nothing to that happenstance.
