Trump failed on some of his braggings for sure. For policies? Immigration,
Inflation, Foreign troubles, crime, he did better. Will he take power in 2024?
Eh, we'll talk.

It doesn't matter if a policy is workable or not if a personality can't get
anything done. Remember Trump's "infrastructure week" or his policy of building
a wall and making Mexico pay for it? And policies don't start wars,
personalities do. Remember George W. Bush? And policies don't become fascist
dictators, personalities do.

Environmentalists are united about one thing, they never saw a large scale
power source that they didn't hate. The self righteous little brat and
self-proclaimed environmentalist Greta Thunberg was arrested a few years ago in
Sweden for blocking a street while she demonstrated against the building of a
wind farm. A wind farm!

SCoPEx only planned to place 2 kilograms of ground up over the counter antacid
tablets into the stratosphere but environmentalists moved heaven and earth to
stop them from doing so because they were terrified it might show a way to stop
global warming without introducing mass suffering. Apparently they believe the
human race needs to suffer for their past sins. I find this attitude to be
utterly contemptible! And the group opposing it was large enough to kill
SCoPEx. The same thing could be said about the environmentalists who killed the
Thirty Meter Telescope, although in that case I admit they had the help of
native Hawaiian imbeciles who were worried that this magnificent device that
would have taught us more about how the universe works might offend an
invisible man who lived in the sky. And Aquaman also helped to destroy the
telescope.

The real task is not to reduce CO2 emissions, it's to stop global warming. And
I must say, global warming is a problem but if I were to make a list of world
problems global warming would not make the top five, I'm not sure it would even
make the top ten.

Oh I'm stupid enough to believe we should continue burning fossil fuels until a
replacement can be proven to be able to produce an equal amount of energy at a
price that makes economic sense. I say that because the alternative is the end
of civilization and the death of billions. Like it or not the Earth is simply
not capable of keeping 8 billion mammals as large as human beings alive, much
less happy, without artificial fertilizers and pesticides, which require energy
to make, and farm machinery and a way to transport food to where it is needed,
which also requires energy.
>"This is all entirely political, and as far as I'm concerned total bullshit.
>We need all and every possible means to counteract climate change."
Yes and that includes geoengineering if a way that could be found to make it
work, and the first step in finding out if something like that could work
involves grinding up 2 kg of Tums antacid tablets. But environmentalists say
that is too radical a step to take even though they also claim global warming
is an existential danger to the human race. And that is why I say
environmentalists are not serious people.
