The Clexit Founding Statement : Comments

By Viv Forbes, published 2/8/2016

If the Paris climate accord is ratified, or enforced locally by compliant governments, it will strangle the leading economies of the world with pointless carbon taxes and costly climate and energy policies.

In a Guardian article there was a story about how Plimer lost a bet in relation to climate change.

Rex Tillerson, the current CEO of ExxonMobil has acknowledged that fossil fuels have an impact on climate in an advert in the New York Journal; it's necessary to dig into hyperlinks to find it:

Rain bombs are continually going off.

Disease vectors are expanding; but, an unexpected anthrax out break in Siberia is completely unexpected:

Wildfires are increasing in severity and season becoming longer.

Deniers have yet to provide a good explanation for the methane explosions of pingos, new ones found again in 2016.

Ant, just a little advice.

If you want to be taken seriously, don't ever quote the Guardian.

Hasbeen, It does sting when a skeptical scientist loses a bet about climate change.

It is difficult to continue arguing against man's impact on climate change when Rex Tillerson; CEO of ExxonMobil, has advertisements in the New York Journal acknowledging the science of climate change.

The Guardian often has articles about climate change written by scientists; articles provide hyperlinks to studies they are writing about.

No comments about anthrax in Siberia?

Another reference:

https://www.wunderground.com/news/anthrax-released-from-thawed-reindeer-amid-siberian-heat-wave?__prclt=zUDwKTxX

No comment about rain bombs?

Ellicott City, in Maryland, USA; received 4.5 inches of rain in an hour. in two hours 6 inches of rain fell. It was not long ago that China was hit twice by severe damage created by rain bombs.

No debunking of methane explosions in Siberia?

Any comments about glaciers melting at an increasing pace? The "Third Pole" has been in the news lately.

Alan B wrote that we should convert "our power stations to very localized, cheaper than coal, state owned and operated thorium power, which we have enough of to power the world for 700 years!?"

That's be a great idea if only there was such a thing as a commercial thorium power plant. There isn't such a thing and won't be for at least a decade, if ever. Perhaps we can run our economy on power derived from wishful-thinking.

There is no power source that is as efficient or cheap as fossil fuels. Sth Australia is finding that out to their cost. Germany is backing away from Energiewende as quickly as they can. Denmark (claimed to be the wind power capital of the world) is abandoning wind power!!

Renewable energy policies produce one thing more efficiently than fossil fuels - subsidies and wealth transfers.

If they are cheaper (as claimed) let them compete. If not, leave them to do more research and come back when they can compete.

In the meantime, the fabled temperature armageddon continues to recede into the fevered minds of AGW warriors and the world is doing just fine as the majority of it ignores the CO2 scare
