    Joe Biden crippled America's fossil fuel industry with punitive rules and regulations. His drilling permits are so expensive and restrictive that
    the American oil companies won't use them. Which is why we
    have the highest inflation in 40 years and the average cost of a gallon
    of gas is now $4.37 - heading for $5.00 a gallon.

    1. The $ value assigned to CO2 for permitting assessments were
    challenged by GOP states (esp. LA) and the decision "favoring" the GOP
    had the effect of shooting them in their collective feet. Pretty laughable.

    2. Seems strange that American oil companies won't use the 9,000+
    drilling permits that they have been granted and already paid for. THERE
    HAVE BEEN NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO PERMIT PRICING AND PRODUCTION
    REGULATIONS SINCE BIDEN WAS ELECTED. Many of these granted but unused
    permits were issued under the prior administration.

    Biden is the reason for gas prices that were going up long before the invasion. Up 50% since the election. Now instead of talking to Mobil, Exxon etc on how to raise production we are going to talk to Venezuela, Iran, and Saudi Arabia. The Saudi's won't
    even take Biden's phone call. The guy has no clue as to what to do. Meanwhile. The Ukraine is getting murdered. I've included an email form my uncle on what what the GD Russians do when they take the Ukraine over:

    UKRAINE, UNDER ATTACK

    March, 2022

    The world watches in horror as Putin, and Russia, continue their savage, unprovoked assault on the civilians of Ukraine, an independent country and fellow member of the United Nations. And the Ukrainians, military and civilian, are challenging the tanks
    in the streets. Alone.

    Please let me share a personal glimpse of what Russian occupation did to Ukrainians the last time.

    As a U.S. Peace Corps volunteer in the town of Rohatyn, Ukraine, from 1999 to 2001--barely 10 years after the collapse of the USSR and the birth of an independent Ukraine--a Ukrainian teacher colleague told me that during the Russian occupation she had
    to baptize her son secretly, at night, because the Russians had outlawed all religions and religious services.

    The Russians also outlawed speaking, or writing, the Ukrainian language. The people preserved works of their famous writer Taras Shevchenko by printing miniature pages which they hid in packages of thin paper used for rolling cigarettes.

    Rohatyn had an impressive new neighborhood of two-story brick houses. But they were only incomplete shells, never worked on during my stay. Why? When the Soviets, who controlled everything with an iron hand, were collapsing back in Mother Russia,
    they cleverly manipulated Ukrainian currency--not once, but twice (from rubles to cupons to hryvnia), so that many Ukrainians lost everything.

    Outside the Roman Catholic church is an Eternal Flame commemorating the fallen, which I saw every day from my third-floor classroom window. I never saw a flame. They could not afford to light it.

    Near our apartment a plaque commemorated, in three languages--Ukrainian, Hebrew, and English--the Jewish community which thrived in Rohatyn for six hundred years, until annihilated by the Nazis in 1941-1943.

    Walking home once from a night class for adults, my neighbor and Orthodox priest said "the Russians lied to us all my life. They told us America was a bad country, and Americans were bad people. And now...". His voice broke off.....Twenty years on,
    tears still come.

    Before being assigned by Peace Corps to Rohatyn, I spent three months, with my wife and 52 other Peace Corps Trainees, in the city of Cherkasy, where we learned Ukraine's history, culture, and language, in intense all-day classes taught by the
    outstanding local Peace Corps staff, who shared their families' histories with us. Some joyful. Many heart-breaking

    The once-thriving industrial sector of Cherkasy was now a collection of rusting structures and equipment. The Soviets assured they weren't leaving anything usable behind.

    Ukraine had long been known as the Breadbasket of the Soviet Union, due to its vast reaches of fertile black soil ("chorno zem"). Moscow gained both money and prestige by selling huge quantities of wheat and other produce on international markets. Who
    paid? The Ukrainian growers, whose produce was systematically confiscated,leaving them little to eat. A survivor recorded how well the process worked in the 1920s, when many farmers starved and were found in their homes, lying on the bed in their best
    traditional dress, dead.

    This is a glimpse of what Ukrainians are fighting to protect, and protect against. Will we let Putin destroy them again? My former colleagues there, afraid for their country and their children, implore me by phone and email to STOP him NOW! And
    prevent him from conquering...everyone.

    those are recent low-quality leases in New Mexico that have signficant left-cultivated opposition on various grounds.)

    As far as the climate change thing goes, perhaps someone can answer
    the question that stymies all the lefties who insist that there is
    dangerous climate change going on...

    The world has warmed 1.75 degrees C since 1800. Only .66 of that
    occurred from 1950 until now, the first period where CO2 started
    rising. What caused the rise in temperature from 1800-1950 and
    what makes that different from what is happening today?

    Also, the sea level has risen 400 FEET in the last 20,000 years. That's an inch every 4 years. Going by geologic history, it will rise another 50 feet before the cycle

    Typical. Can't challenge the facts so you challenge the messenger. I'm sure you know one doesn't have to be an expert

    Joe Biden crippled America's fossil fuel industry with punitive rules and
    regulations. His drilling permits are so expensive and restrictive that
    the American oil companies won't use them. Which is why we
    have the highest inflation in 40 years and the average cost of a gallon
    of gas is now $4.37 - heading for $5.00 a gallon.

    Biden is the reason for gas prices that were going up long before
    the invasion. Up 50% since the election. Now instead of talking to
    Mobil, Exxon etc on how to raise production we are going to talk to
    Venezuela, Iran, and Saudi Arabia. The Saudi's won't even take
    Biden's phone call. The guy has no clue as to what to do.

    And this "9,000 lease" talking point of the left obscures the fact we
    are using a higher percentage of leases than ever before. (And many of
    those are recent low-quality leases in New Mexico that have signficant
    left-cultivated opposition on various grounds.)

    As far as the climate change thing goes, perhaps someone can answer
    the question that stymies all the lefties who insist that there is
    dangerous climate change going on...

    The world has warmed 1.75 degrees C since 1800. Only .66 of that
    occurred from 1950 until now, the first period where CO2 started
    rising. What caused the rise in temperature from 1800-1950 and
    what makes that different from what is happening today?

    I'm waiting.
    Also, the sea level has risen 400 FEET in the last 20,000 years. That's an inch
    every 4 years. Going by geologic history, it will rise another 50 feet before the cycle
    heads downward. Humans have not changed the average rise, and there is nothing
    humans can do to stop it from going to it's peak.

    Liberals just like to feel like they are in control and it makes them feel good to think they

    Nevertheless, the sea levels will still continue to rise since CO2
    is not what causing it.

    Not only that, since the warmer the ocean is, the more CO2 it releases, the
    CO2 levels tend to *lag* global temperature. And when things cool down, CO2 released by the ocean (a huge percentage of the total) goes down.

    Remember, human CO2 is a tiny, tiny, percentage of the total.

    Now I certainly am willing to believe that man has caused some
    increase in temperature. But if we go back to the question I asked,
    and the lack of answer (because they don't have one), the *amount* of
    warming man has caused is unknown. The alarmists of course pretend
    that *all* of the warming is due to man, but that is unlikely since
    the world was warming before man could have added to it.

    And if you hear one tell you they know how much warming man has
    caused, they are simply lying. The IPCC is not stupid enough to try
    that, though they are apparently stupid enough to allow the non-
    scientist members of the organization make wild claims about effects
    on storms, extreme weather, and other aspects/effects of climate. (I
    understand that most of the *real* scientists of the IPCC are really
    pissed about that.)

    scale) of cool down and faster warming, but the large scale slope if
    constant. The slope has not changed with the advent of humans and
    lately with the buring of fossil fuels.

    If one truly believed CO2 and humans are a problem, they should stop
    parroting the media and learn about the earth's carbon cycle and the
    effect of overpopuation, deforestation, and land clearing for human
    expansion. Fossil fuels are a nit by comparison.

    Nevertheless, the sea levels will still continue to rise since CO2
    is not what causing it.

    Not only that, since the warmer the ocean is, the more CO2 it releases, the CO2 levels tend to *lag* global temperature. And when things cool down, CO2 released by the ocean (a huge percentage of the total) goes down.

    Remember, human CO2 is a tiny, tiny, percentage of the total.

    Now I certainly am willing to believe that man has caused some
    increase in temperature. But if we go back to the question I asked,
    and the lack of answer (because they don't have one), the *amount* of
    warming man has caused is unknown. The alarmists of course pretend
    that *all* of the warming is due to man, but that is unlikely since
    the world was warming before man could have added to it.

    And if you hear one tell you they know how much warming man has
    caused, they are simply lying. The IPCC is not stupid enough to try
    that, though they are apparently stupid enough to allow the non-
    scientist members of the organization make wild claims about effects
    on storms, extreme weather, and other aspects/effects of climate. (I understand that most of the *real* scientists of the IPCC are really
    pissed about that.)


    If anything the next ice age may be forestalled by a few hundred years.

    Joe Biden crippled America's fossil fuel industry with

    the American oil companies won't use them. Which is why we >>>>>>>>>> have the highest inflation in 40 years and the average cost of >>>>>>>>>> a gallon

    And this "9,000 lease" talking point of the left obscures the
    fact we
    are using a higher percentage of leases than ever before. (And
    many of
    those are recent low-quality leases in New Mexico that have
    signficant
    left-cultivated opposition on various grounds.)

    I'm waiting.
    Also, the sea level has risen 400 FEET in the last 20,000 years.
    That's an inch
    every 4 years. Going by geologic history, it will rise another 50
    feet before the cycle
    heads downward. Humans have not changed the average rise, and
    there is nothing
    humans can do to stop it from going to it's peak.

    Liberals just like to feel like they are in control and it makes
    them feel good to think they
    are doing something, but they can't stop this.

    You sound like an expert in the field. Can you provide a list of
    your peer reviewed publications, so I can learn more?
    Typical. Can't challenge the facts so you challenge the messenger.
    I'm sure you know one doesn't have to be an expert
    in a field to be able to read and learn, or do you? It's a simple
    matter to find well-known geological history, provided one actually
    wants to know what it is. For some, facts that don't fit their
    ideology are ignored and pretended to not exist.

    Yes I know you’re not an expert in the field, and yet you tried to
    speak with an amount of authority that you haven’t earned.  Putting
    politics aside, your analysis read like a freshman comp paper written
    by someone who began researching the topic at 10pm the night before,
    by googling some stuff and pasting it together into some sort of

    This is BS an you kow it.I was speaking as someone with an interest in
    the field and passing on some very-well known and understood
    geological facts. PERIOD.

    BTW, did you ever take an upperdivision class taught by a graduate
    student. If so, since he was not a PhD with years of experience and
    multiple published papers, did you therefore reject everything he
    tried to teach you? Did you ever read or study a book on a subject of
    interest
    and learn a few facts and understandings on an issue? Did you feel
    unqualified to discuss what you learned with others?

    One more thing about the earth, that 20,000 year cycle, which has
    repeated uncountable times and gives us the ices ages and glacier
    melting,
    when it is on the warming side of the cycle, rises at an overall
    average rate, but does have little periods  (on geologic scale) of
    cool down and

    https://dilbert.com/strip/2022-03-13

    Exactly. If you can't explain the issue so a layman can understand on
    some level, you can't prove you understand it yourself.

    Global warming is very simple -- real ECS (equalibrium climate
    sensitivity) is only known when you know the ERBE (radiation budget)
    numbers and can attribute that to the heat inputs and outputs. You
    can't know that, really, so all you can do is guess at ECS. The
    biggest unknown is what clouds are doing, and *no one* pretends to
    have a good understanding of that.

    On top of that, we have this huge store of heat called the ocean which
    we understand in only the smallest way. Bottom line is that everyone
    is guessing, and the "experts" are the ones who claim to have the best
    guesses. Since their jobs and how much they get paid for them are
    dependent on the perceived danger, they have a lot of incentive to amp
    up the alarm.
