America's Cup: Amazing sailing or should I say flying

 America's Cup: Amazing sailing or should I say flying

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H98nH-dvNUE&feature=youtu.be

Whether I am in Calgary or Fernie the one constant factor of my life is I live 3,500 ft (for kids today that is 1070M) above sea level.  As you can imagine that would make sailing a sport that was hard to relate to.  Au contraire, we landlocked people can enjoy sailing, I learned as a kid on Glenmore Reservoir where the fickle winds and the enthusiasm of transplanted Brits, Aussie's and American's brought their love of sailing to us Calgary youngsters.  Part of learning sailing is for most of us to love sailing.  Over the years I have had the pleasure of enjoying many sailing trips in the Gulf Islands over the years.

As a kid I also started to follow the America's Cup.  Dennis Conner was the star of the eighties and ultimately also broke the American hold of the cup by ultimately losing to Australia.

While he was winning he almost made the series boring, no one seemed able to beat him. Then he lost and the series got interesting when the Aussie's beat him.  The winged keel of Australia II gave the Cup to the Australians.  This broke the contest wide open and technology has been allowed to change the face of the race.  I was in San Francisco in 2013 when the catamarans with wings first showed up.  It was very exciting to see the Oracle team come from behind and learn flying in the middle of the series. 

Since then technology has moved even further.  I first heard about the new foils from a friend in Fernie, Pete, a transplanted Australian shipwright and sailor.  In the course of having our Covid outdoor coffee meetings we discussed his love of sailing and where it has come during his lifespan.  I couldn't believe it until now.  Amazing.  The sailing or flying is fascinating but the crashes are going to be spectacular.

Hahaha.  Does this crazy person thinks anyone believes her story.  Not a chance.  How did she become the Police Chief?  Has she been checked for drugs.

PERVERTED SCIENCE: New Study Warns Of The Unintended Consequences Of Massive Solar Farms

 

New Study Warns Of The Unintended Consequences Of Massive Solar Farms

https://climatechangedispatch.com/new-study-warns-of-the-unintended-consequences-of-massive-solar-farms/

Here is another ludicrous idea from our climate sciences, similar to the Nazi idea of draining the Mediterranean sea to create farmland or Bill Gates and his idea to spray dust into the upper atmosphere to block the sun. The depth of thinking going into these concepts is as dense as a tweet or a tiktok.  This is why science is no longer respected.

Newsflash: Water Is Wet, Fire Is Hot, And The Climate Keeps Changing

https://climatechangedispatch.com/newsflash-water-is-wet-fire-is-hot-and-the-climate-keeps-changing/

The pivot from global warming to climate change was a great appropriation of the concept of change.  Change is inevitable, we know that from our historic and geological records.  What are Greenies want though is climate stasis.  The high church of climate change will keep making sacrifices at all of our cost in an effort to try to convince us that they will change the evolution of the globe.

Did Wind Power Fall Hard During the Great Texas Storm? Yep. Twice.

After listening to Scott Adams this morning where he stated that windpower was not the problem in Texas I had to add this in rebuttal.

John Kerry: ‘We Have Nine Years’ Until Climate Crisis — ‘There’s No Room for B.S. Anymore’

https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2021/02/19/john-kerry-we-have-nine-years-until-climate-crisis-theres-no-room-for-b-s-anymore/

Why do all old guys want to live to see the end of the world?  Politicians, can't resist dealing with metaphysical problems rather than dealing with real world problems.  Weather is not a problem that they can control no matter what they try to spin.  Kerry is 78 now, will he make 88 to see the outcome of his dire prediction.

A Deep Green Freeze: An Existential Threat To America’s Future

https://climatechangedispatch.com/a-deep-green-freeze-an-existential-threat-to-americas-future/

It is probably just a result of climate change that cold weather progressed so deep into the US south and the northern Mexico.  What we can see is that without a strong energy base the boutique sources that the urban luddites request just don't cut it as a source of energy.  I note today that the spot price of natural gas at Henry Hub hit $16.13.  That's over a $10 increase in price.  

Have fun in the cold.

"Woke" British Universities To Be Fined For Limiting Free Speech

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/woke-british-universities-be-fined-limiting-free-speech

Nice to see some kind of rationality coming back to our institutions.  This issue of re-writing history to suit the current political or ideological environment is indicative of the dumbing down of the our societies.  To the ignorant history is meaningless, politics paramount. The danger is that the twitter generation is not studying anything.  They may be able to edit Wikipedia to suit their current ideology but they can't burn all the books, you know those are the colorful rectangles your parents use to decorate rooms.

Studies show Westerners allegedly getting dumber

Well here is another little tidbit on the question of the decline and fall of the first world.  Since I am getting on I don't have a dog in the fight anymore.  Too bad.  For all you youngsters, you had better think about this problem, give up on gender studies and try to learn math.

Okay, a Friday special, get a coffee and sit back and enjoy the read.  This essay will cause you a lot of concern.  I put this is for my good friend and brother, Ed who will find it very thought provoking.

Repeat After Me: Canada is Uninhabitable Without Fossil Fuels – David Yager

https://energynow.ca/2020/01/reality-check-canada-is-uninhabitable-without-fossil-fuels-david-yager/

Thanks to SmallDeadAnimals for finding this article which sums up the Canadian situation.  We want to be nice wonderful people but we can't live here is we put in place all of our virtue signaling.  There are exceptions such as Vancouver and Vancouver Island and places in the Maritimes, though they have their lousy weather too.  Here is the issue; it's fuc#ing cold outside and it has been cold for the week.  I finally got the water running after it froze up in the cabin, that's how cold it is, -10F/-24C.  Here is what you have to think about, is there enough wood available to keep you through the winter?  Answer, No.  Remember, with out fossil fuel you are going to have to drag your wood with a sled.  Stay warm.  think about your future carbon footprint,

WHO Concludes That Coronavirus "Came From Animal," Not Wuhan Lab

Is it me but don't you find CCP propaganda completely stupid.  

WHO and the CCP have absolutely no cred.  You would have to be an idiot or a Marxist-Leninists to believe anything they have to say.  Mind you the Global Warming crowd has a similar problem, their catastrophist religion has a similar problem,

Biden Press Sec: We’re Considering Killing All The Pipelines

https://climatechangedispatch.com/biden-press-sec-were-considering-killing-all-the-pipelines/

Well the battle of the green luddites continues to move forward.  The Enbridge Line 5 expansion project is now in their cross hairs.  This is bad for the economy and bad for the citizens but it does give me a certain amount of schadenfreude when it comes to the citizens of Ontario and Eastern Canada where their objections to an all-Canadian pipeline project was rejected.  We, like moths to a flame, love to flirt with energy insecurity.  It will be quite a pleasure to listen to all the screen addicted greenies whine when they enjoy brownouts and now also when they have to pay a fortune to heat themselves during a nice cold winter.

Mundo Loco: Fox News Cancels Lou Dobbs’ Show

https://www.breitbart.com/the-media/2021/02/05/report-fox-news-cancels-lou-dobbs-showreport-fox-news-cancels-lou-dobbs-show/

This is an Orwellian moment for most prescient people.  What would cause the highest rated show on Fox Business to be cancelled?  Because he had a little doubt about the last US election?  Amazing to see a country that once had freedom of thought and speech now be moulded into forced group think.
