Seriously, this idea that CO2 is generated by ppl is the biggest crock that there is WRT climate. Think about it. Where is most coal burned at? Yes, in poorer nations, it is burned for heating and cooking. However, with more developed nations, coal is burned to make electricity and steel . Who decides to burn it this way? Businesses and Gov. As such, ppl do NOT decide it.
So, what is the CORRECT way to normalize this? PER $ GDP. That is really the best way. However, many ppl do not want it, because it will not pin the blame on America. It will pin it on China and other nations.
In addition, it is interesting that he ties this to 1960. That is nothing less than the TOTAL joke. Emissions has been going on since Christ. But, even then, many like to use 1850. But, the reason why this author chose NOT to do this, is because America is again not the big one. Even on a per capita basis, America is way down there. OTOH, China, UK, and other western nations are BIG emitters.
LOL. China has outstripped America in every sense of emissions EXCEPT per capita. And even if you go back through history, they outstrip America as well.
It is funny that CHina is acknowledged to produce more CO2 than America has since ANY of the timeframes looked at. Yet, this guy is claiming that China's emissions are nothing.
China does not care about you. They care about the IP of the company that you work for; your SSN and credit info so that they can steal your ID and basically your credit; your SSN to get access to your medicaid, medicare, and ssi; and if you or your family or friends work in jobs that require clearances, they want that information. But you? Nope
Actually, it really does NOT matter. The fact is, that the NEW wind Generators will be built higher and will be in a wind stream that should give them over 50-60% of the time with wind. IOW, right now, these generators are around 30%. The new ones that are going in RIGHT NOW, will be running about double the time.
I can see why you are AC. You do not have a fucking clue of what you are saying. You think that America's taxes on oil and coal is creating artificially low prices? Oil prices are low because of fracking combined with every nation now dumping on the market so that they keep their % of the market regardless of prices.
And coal prices dropped because nat gas prices, along with WInd prices, are much lower than electricity from coal . In fact, the ONLY thing keeping it up to this price is that fact that we continue to increase coal to CHina.
Seriously, so many far left wingers run around screaming that we should depend on 100% wind and solar. Yet, both require the sun to work. Now, what happens if say Yellowstone blows? Well, there goes 75% of our energy RIGHT WHEN WE NEEDED IT. Likewise, just by starting massive forest fires in the west, a nation can drop our electricity by 10% if we depend on nothing by solar and wind.
We absolutely need to have Solar and WInd. BUT, it should not be more than 33% of our capacity. We NEED Nukes to replace first coal, and then nat gas. In addiiton, with gem IV MST reactors, we can burn up the majority of nuke waste, while replacing old reactors.
The problem is not that we have immigrants moving to America. The REAL issue is that they move here under H1B which means that they work only for 1 company getting paid extremely low wages and most will return to their home.
What is needed is to REMOVE the [HL]1B programs, and then allow for more visas. Basically, it is not a problem to have talented ppl move to America. It is only a problem when they are replacing other ppl at much lower wages due to artificial constraints.
quick start?
They have been doing this for the last 30 years. What exactly do you think made them go so fast.
Hell, with the clinton-china accord they were supposed to dump all of their subsidies, tariffs, etc. AND quit manipulating their money.
Not a THING has been done.
Except she went through proper channels. She is in court because they denied here. And laziness on SoS part is not a reason to not turn over tapes which do not ID ppl.
Nothing frustrates me more than when I hear the far left say that we should allow China to continue on their path. The right will scream that we are letting them get away with murder (of course, they do not mean it literally, but it is ), however, they refuse to put a tax on goods even though any company can easily get out of it: SImply have the parts manufactured in clean states/nations.
Now, to be honest, we should not do a tariff (which is a tax on goods that move in/out of a nation/state). Instead, it should be a tax on all goods that are consumed locally. And it should be BEFORE the retailer, or if mailed, as part of that. With this approach combined with real monitoring,and normalizing based on emissions / GDP, we can reward those nations that clean up, while going after those that are chosing to emit. In addition, if a nation does like China and manipulates their money by dropping its value, that is fine. It simply means more emissions / $ GDP. As such, it behooves nations to NO cheat at it.
I have been posting about the fact that China is gaming this pretty badly, and the far left just ignores this.
That is why the west desperately needs to put in a tax on ALL GOODS (local and imported) based on where the item and parts come from.
However, we need to make sure of what the actual CO2 is. Since so many nations, esp. the worst one being China, are gaming this, we need hourly sat photos over the planet to check how much is generated and absorbed in all areas. OCO2 is just one sat. OCO3 will be added to ISS early next year. With a couple of more sats, we can see everything and make sure that nobody is cheating.
In addition, we need to normalize this properly. CO2 is tied to GDP, not ppl. In general, ppl do not make the choices where large emissions come from. It is businesses and gov. that make those choices. In addition, when population rise massively, CO2 increases very little. However, when GDP increases, CO2 increases with it, and typically at a faster pace. So, we need to set this up for emissions / $GDP (real). In addition, to keep nations from cheating, it needs to be $GDP (real), not $GDP( ppp ).
Without such a mechanism in place, all nations will have a strong incentive to cheat. WIth this in place, there is ZERO incentive, since all can see the REAL data.
Sadly, the far left will fight it because it harms China, while the far right will say that it increases tax on all goods, which is not true.
it is for that reason why a rocket company would be smart to develop their own tug/fuel depot on their dime.
Basically, build several sizes of tugs that have a common interface. In fact, LIDs while being big, would be ideal.
That would make it cheap to hook up to various sats, as well as Bigelow, ISS, tools, etc.
Who is really missing the boat on this would be rocketdyne since they have engines, but do not have active systems.
Another one would be Blue Origin. they have the money and the engines.
LOL.
They flew a 4 segment SRB, and found many many issues with it.
In addition, it was obvious that there were so many flaws on this that it was going to require massive changes, and the NEXT flight, would not occur until 2017 (and some said, 2018).
The GOP, esp. the neo-con elements, are the ones working hard to kill off private space. IOW, it is a small faction of CONgress, and to be fair, it is a small CONTROLLING faction of the GOP that is really causing this.
What I find interesting is that the neo-cons like Shelby, coffman, etc would rather pay Putin MULTIPLE BILLIONS, than pay American private space, 1 Billion. It speaks volumes about the GOP.

Yes, and who has actually burned the most coal? Europe and China have been burning coal for several thousand years.
Yes, but China and Europe have been burning coal for millenniums.

I think that as OCO2's, and next year, OCO3's, data creeps out and ppl realize that the numbers for most of these 'studies' are not adding up, well, even things like this will be considered to be nothing but a joke.

You need it in front of all the GOP. They are all loud mouth idiots that moves faster than a piece of paper in a tornado.

not surprising, but good to her.
And a different rocket.
Wow. Who pissed in your wheaties? I seriously doubt that Danes will do that.

What is needed is to REMOVE the [HL]1B programs, and then allow for more visas. Basically, it is not a problem to have talented ppl move to America. It is only a problem when they are replacing other ppl at much lower wages due to artificial constraints.

Except, the tape does not ID a person . so, no, this would not be intrusion into anybodys personal life.
It is the counter that counts. I think it might be time to examine this issue in other states as well.
spoken by a far lefty that constantly defends China's massively growing emissions.
THANK YOU.
