UN body adopts climate change strategy for shipping - Welcome back to the Age of Sail

Welcome back to the age of Sail

http://www.imo.org/en/mediacentre/pressbriefings/pages/06ghginitialstrategy.aspx

You would have to wonder about the United Nations, it seems that the organization has become overtaken by neo-modern Green Fanatics.  When you read their announcement above you would have to wonder how they plan to live out their ideological position.  Shipping changes slowly, the average life of a ship is 25 years from laying the keel to ending up on the beach in India getting cut up f or scrap.  There have been no major changes in propulsion systems other than tweeks on fuel.  When you read this announcement can see how the changes they want were quantified except that the IMO wants to cut total emissions by 40% by 2030 and 70% by 2050.  It appears that the IMO is either planning a tremendous reduction in fleet size to meet these targets, something that will destroy the economics and competitiveness of countries like China to export or they are assuming that we will return to the age of sail.

The other announcement contained in the IMO document is that they will have more meetings to discuss the situation.  Looks like they are just kicking the can down the road.  UN plans are always unattainable.

Chinese Steel passing through Canada to the US usinG NAFTA Rules - EXPLAINED

Now that all the Canadian Nationalists (read primarily Red Tories, Liberals and of course the bastion on anti-americanism the NDP) wrapped themselves in the flag of righteousness over the US tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum the facts regarding passthrough trade in Chinese steel has to come out.  Here is Wilbur Ross's explanation of the situation.  Hiding Chinese goods by rebranding them as Canadian is not acceptable.

Are climate realists older whiter and more racsist then the GW Catastrophists?

"Climate Deniers", that should read realists, will have to accept that they are also smarter than the Goofball slackers that make up the vast bulk of the Global Warming Industry and their running dogs. (Thanks Mao.)

I have always loved the end of the world Catastrophists. My Grandpa was one, he wanted to see the end of the world but probably would have been satisfied with another Great Depression. That always made me wonder what he thought about his family.  who would wish that on their kin?



In my lifetime, nw not so short, we have lived with lived through the atom bomb, the Club of Rome, the population bomb,  WMDs, peak oil, acid rain, CFCs and the Ozone Layer, Ebola and the numerous permutations of Global Warming.  Luckily all of these scares proved to be false alarms. We know from real catastrophes that you don't want to nor will you live a real geological extinction.



Have a great day and thank your lucky stars.

The Skeptics are dying off - Will the Catastrophists win?

The Skeptics are dying off - Will the Catastrophists win?

The Skeptics may be dying out but the Climate Catastrophists are going to go broke.  Climate funding and carbon taxes in their various forms will dry up.  The two concepts were self supporting, the climate funding created the propaganda to sell the carbon taxes and the governments enjoyed the new source of taxation revenue to deal with increased government spending.  It is similar to the situation in Europe where migrants are welcomed by governments because they offset the declining birth rate and corresponding decline in tax payers.  The birthrate declines because everyone is working  hard to survive.  The question is, will the migrants work and pay taxes?  The other question, will carbon taxes reduce global warming; don't hold your breath.
