 "Do Celebrities Really Buy the Climate-Change Story?
On the hypocrisy of celebrity activists
I love Emma Thompsonâs acting. I wish somebody would tell her about Skype.
The great English actress is a climate-change activist, âactivistâ here meaning âa celebrity who cares about popular causes in public.â When she recently was accused of hypocrisy for jumping on a jet to attend a climate-change rally â international air travel is one of the most carbon-intensive things a person can do â she attempted to justify herself, saying: âFor decades now we have been asking for clean energy, and this has been ignored.â
That is some grade-A magical thinking: The constraints involved in the problem of moving x pounds of people or freight y distance at speed z are questions of physics, not questions of ethics. âAsking forâ things to be different does not remove those constraints; for decades now, I have been asking for a way to live off bourbon and cheeseburgers without getting fat and unnecessarily dead but, so far, no dice. Physics always wins."More here:> www.nationalreview.com/2019/12/climate-change-celebrity-activist-hypocrisy/ |

 "When Warming is Cooling!

Whatâs Natural?
When Warming is Cooling!
The media has been awash with doomsday headlines, trumpeting a human-caused âclimate crisisâ simply because the estimated average global temperature has risen about 1.7°F since the end of the cold Little Ice Age 150 years ago. However, the Arctic has been the greatest climate outlier and its much warmer temperatures, averaging 3.6°F higher than the 1951â1990 average, has shifted the global warming average upwards."wattsupwiththat.com/2020/01/02/when-warming-is-cooling/This seems to be a long article that I would put as "heat in the atmosphere is heat on its way out to space from the Earth System" |

Notice the "trying". Not everyone living in Virginia is daft.
