The Rockefellers dumping oil. Oh, the irony!
Along similar lines, here is a 3 minute video of the actor Leonardo DiCaprio's opening remarks at the 2014 United Nations Climate Summit in New York City. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ka6_3TJcCkA He is sincere, and I agree with what he says. He does not put on airs. He says "I pretend for a living" -- a welcome bit of self depreciation you seldom see in Hollywood. The thing is, I feel like grabbing him by the lapels to say: "Things may not be as bad as you think! There may be a solution! Buck up! Pay attention!" Without cold fusion the situation is dire. With it, all of this angst is misplaced. All the trillions of dollars to be spent on things like fission reactors and solar PV are a waste of money. Not to mention the money spent on oil, and wars over oil, and wars for fresh water. It's like fighting a war over some trivial issue such as the assassination of an Archduke. (Of course that wasn't the real reason, but still . . .) In 1915 there was a grim joke in England. People said: "Have you seen the headlines? 'Archduke found alive: War a mistake.'" The joke aside, the war truly was a mistake. Spending trillions of dollars to replace our energy systems with renewable sources is also a mistake. If people would only pay attention to experimental evidence they would know that. - Jed
