I thought Hondo’s link to the article about Berkeley was a revelation of people who are completely out of touch with reality. It certainly demonstrates that those who are proposing ‘peace with ruffians’ parties have no idea what they’re dealing with. \u00a0But they are, like their predecessors, off on their own clouds.<\/p>\n
This article from WUWT is even further into the realm of disconnection from reality. The proposal itself is ludicrous, and the cost of the proposed program – building windmills to pump Arctic sea water onto Arctic ice to thicken it – is estimated to cost $500 billion. That is half a trillion dollars<\/em><\/strong>, people. \u00a0Half a trillion big ones, and it’s your tax money we’re talking about.<\/p>\n The proposal is from a planetary scientist whose comparison of Enceladus, an iceball Saturnian\u00a0moon with a possible ocean under it’s ice cover, to Earth is so off the wall silly, you just have to shake your head. Enceladus has no atmosphere to protect it from space. Earth does have an atmosphere. \u00a0It’s why we exist here. \u00a0Enceladus has geysers that have photographed by various satellite explorers, but he has yet to explain those geysers which are probably gushing because of water pressure, just like an oil well gusher.<\/p>\n Here’s the link. You really do have to read the proposal, in italics, to understand the drivel that is being proposed: \u00a0https:\/\/wattsupwiththat.com\/2017\/05\/03\/alarmists-gone-wild-saving-the-arctic-sea-ice-from-oblivion-with-windmills\/<\/a><\/p>\n The sad part is that there are enough dimwits in Congress on both sides of the fence who may think Guam will tip over some day, and who will see this as another splendid idea, even though common sense tells you it is utter twaddle. \u00a0However, since it’s\u00a0only\u00a0a proposal so far, don’t write to your Congress critters about it just yet. Keep an eye out for it. And\u00a0if you talk to anyone about it, make sure you emphasize the cost of this idiotic idea.<\/p>\n Geezo Pete, even Don Quixote had more sense than this!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
