“The state of the union is coming up. The president’s got to, and you know I think will, because he believes this, we gotta move this. Because that’s the only way we can keep 1.5 degrees alive.”

“So how do we get there? The lesson I’ve learned in last years, and I’ve learned it as secretary and leaned it since reinforced in spades, is money. money, money, money, money, money, money.”

In contrast to free money stupidity from President Biden and John Kerry, I present The Best Video On Climate Change in History. 

Click on the link for the video and discussion. 

In case it was not obvious before, please note that Biden is hell bent on producing sustained high inflation.

For discussion of inflation, please see

A 1.5 degree increase in temperature is not nearly enough to restore a dying planet. After the atmosphere has been drained over millions of years of the high levels of CO2 essential for organic life, and stored in the remains of said organic life, the intelligent thing to do is put it back into the atmosphere and increase the temperature ASAP.

Can’t speak for Mish, but when this type of garbage is happening, it makes me think of the O’Jays song “For the Love of Money”. The lyrics are spot on, IMO.

What is scary is that he really believes what he says and doesn’t at all see his hypocrisy. It is a religion and its members will justify any act whatsoever as long as they think it will further their goal, a goal that they have never defined so it is open-ended.

They completely ignore fission nuclear power. The best solution for supplying energy while also reducing greenhouse gas emissions. By far. Nothing else comes close. They don’t want to solve what they claim to want to solve. It’s just a front.

Correct. No fission for you. “They” (probably the aliens who actually run this place) will also never release carburetors that get 1000mpg, pills that give you superpowers, the cure for cancer, and the live forever anti-aging vaccines. They would rather continue to run their experiments on humanity. Hopefully “they” won’t come after me for mentioning this.
Lol!

If true, then we’ll need to hire the South Koreans to build our nukes. $2000/KW there vs. $10,000/KW here. The 2500 MW Vogtle plant is 14 years under construction, $28 Billion and still counting. Yes, money, money, money……. AS it is, there are too many palms in the production chain here to make nukes competitive.

I always ask myself.. what are the real goals of many of the current social and political fads? I include the more extreme notions of climate hysteria (as opposed to incrementalism driven by technological progress), DEI, critical theory including critical race theory, “anti-racism”, gender ideology, BLM narratives and protests, demonization of antivaxxers and vax hesitant, tarring MAGA folk as white supremacists, and now gas stove-phobia. It just seems that the end of the day, these movements serve to grease the path towards more control over societies’ resources via taxation and regulation of less favored groups and activities by some cadre of self-proclaimed moral insiders. Maybe this isn’t such a novel epiphany and I’m just slow to catch on.

This is exactly why we need to get rid of the internet. Then automate governments and get rid of any governments that resemble Communism. The money will be simple. Everyone at Davos will pay for it with their own money. For the safety of our children and the world. We must combat climate change.

The internet, like TV before it, is the circuses part of ‘bread and circuses for the masses’.
I don’t think you want to see what people get up to if there was no more internet or TV etc.
As for governments resembling Communism, that would have to include most of the Western governments too including the US. They are a lot closer to Communism than you think with their great societies.

Realistically, it is already too late to stop 1.5C of warming. And we probably won’t be able to prevent 2C either.
Kerry is right about one thing. To make a dent in global warming will take a crap load of money. From everyone in the world. Not to mention a miraculous commitment.
And thats the issue. There is no way to get the cooperation of essentially every government in the world to “work together” to solve this problem. Most of them don’t have the money needed and they also have far more pressing problems to worry about.
How focused is Ukraine on global warming right now? Or Russsia?
Many other countries are already too busy using scarce resources as they try to mitigate the effects of global warming, and have little left over to deal with global warming itself. And this list of countries is only going to grow as the effects of global warming and the resulting climate change worsen.
As climate change worsens, floods and droughts will worsen; more lands will become unliveable; there will be more human migration from unliveable areas; and more friction and fighting at borders as migrants attempt to move to liveable areas. And this will further reduce the resources needed to solve the problem.
If you think we have border problems now; just wait. The fun is just beginning. And no. A wall won’t make a bit of difference.
Young people today are right to be pissed off because they are going to inherit a very sh*tty world. However, as recently mentioned, protesting about it will do nothing. Learning more Science and hard work will give them a far better chance at being part of the solution. And putting together an internet based worldwide alliance of youth, who become obsessed with helping each other learn to live their lives with the smallest carbon footprint possible, is one step that can be taken. Imagine getting every young person on Facebook and other social networks to commit to being part of the solution?
Yeah. I can’t imagine that working either. Which is why the future inhabitants of earth are so f*cked. How do you get the vast majority of the world to work together on this?
As always, there is little I can do about this issue, except to understand it and to reduce my personal carbon footprint.
In addition I can try to take advantage of the investment opportunities that this issue creates.
At this point in time, the governments that can afford it are trying to manage an energy transition from fossil fuels to more renewables . The results of this transition are predictable. For two years I have been making a lot of money from oil and gas stocks and I am starting to nibble at renewable energy company stocks in the expectation of making a lot from them as well.

The drought is over in California and the reservoirs are full ! Some snow resorts in the west have
closed due to to much snow ! The snow pack in the northern hemisphere is at an all time high .
Just an update of the reality at the current time we are in . Climate change you can believe in .

A very significant amount of the rain ran off into the Pacific ocean.
Not enough snow got far enough East into and over the Sierra Nevada mountains.

No amount of money will change it for all the reasons you listed.
On the other hand a large scale conflict or a true pandemic/famine etc that killed billions most definitely would since the amount of carbon use would drop by the orders of magnitude that is claimed to be needed.
Myself, I believe things won’t be anywhere near as bad as envisioned. For some areas yes, but overall definitely not. The ‘end of the world’ has been predicted forever by man because people are mostly afraid of change (despite claiming otherwise).

Lol! We have to kill 7 billion to save the other 1 billion.
Or we could keep doing nothing and let it happen anyway.
That’s a hell of a choice.
And no one should be predicting the “end of the world”. Because the world will still be here 4 billion years from now. What scientists are telling us is that we are slowly, but surely, changing our world in a way that could be catastrophic for most species. Including us.
“Myself, I believe things won’t be anywhere near as bad as envisioned. For some areas yes, but overall definitely not.”
Which areas do you think will be as bad as predicted?

The extremes. As in Polar regions, the near desert / dry climates (US and Canadian mid west) etc.
The equatorial regions and moderate climates will mostly be the same as they are now.
BTW, there isn’t a ‘choice’ since we both agree humanity isn’t going to do anything on it’s own. So in the end Nature or War is going to do it for us.

I believe it because no one can agree exactly on what affected means.
If snow say disappears entirely from say Toronto in the Winter then Toronto is definitely affected. But is is to a degree that matters (ie makes uninhabitable)? I say no.

Uninhabitable basically means unable to support life.
So prolonged extreme heat, drought, or floods would be the most common causes.
Seems to favor regions near the equator, and low lying coastal regions.
Toronto is pretty far north, is on one of the largest bodies of fresh water in the world, and is very far from ocean flooding. Probably one of the safest places to live in a world struggling with climate change.
I think Buffalo gets double the snow that Toronto gets because it is on the wrong side of the lake.

Most places near the equator are going to be fine because of the presence of the oceans moderating the climate. Florida for example has barely changed at all because the ocean moderates the climate and the vegetation is already adapted to the heat.
I think the Canadian and US prairie regions are going to be in big trouble. They barely get enough rain to not be a desert (the 30’s dustbowl shows what happens when you get a warm decade with just a bit less rain). I could see the entire area becoming one vast desert. But both coasts should be just fine water and temperature wise.
The Toronto area where I grew up will be interesting. The vegetation is going to change, probably become more like say that of Georgia or the Carolina’s so whatever thrives there will be replacing whatever is in the Toronto area. So the local species (including animals that rely on those specific species) will probably all disappear.

How do you get the vast majority of the world to work together on this?
That’s the key question. One thing is clear: you DON’T get cooperation acting like a global bully, provoking other countries (e.g. NATO expansion), starting new wars in Taiwan, Syria, Yemen and creating millions of refugees (Syria, Ukraine….).
The USA is wasting what’s left of its global power to waste the world, not save it. There’s lots of money to be made in war, Mr. Kerry, as you know, having voted for the war in Iraq, and kept that war going while you were Senator and Secretary of State. How did you forget the tragedies of Vietnam that you exploited for your political career?
Can we reverse course in time Mr. Kerry? Why don’t you talk to your good friend Mr. Biden? Oh, right, he’s stopped listening to you long ago. You are now just window dressing for the “Green New Deal” crowd. Oh, the Green New Deal is off the table, now, isn’t it?
Enjoy your post-career stint at Black Rock. Or is it Carlysle? They aren’t hiring? Did you remember to bring your resume to hand out at Davos?

Has Kerry turned his private jet in at the scrapyard yet?
Have his mansions been turned into low income housing? After the conversion he can have his choice of the efficiency apartments. I am a reasonable person after all.

Don’t scrap those private jets!
They too can be turned into housing as they are essentially a larger scale RV with the only difference is they permanently park at airports instead of RV parks.

Let’s take all of John Kerry’s money (married into -not earned). Then he will have a much smaller carbon footprint.
I’ll believe all the warnings when Ocean front property prices reflect the coming “rising water”. Also, all the private jets will be sitting unused as the “special people” will park them to “save the planet”.
What a farce.
