  Thanks for the unexpected gift!

  Joe,
  I think our therapy sessions on this blog have produced a breakthrough, though you have clearly gone off the alarmist reservation with some amazing concessions:

  1. Many wild predictions of sea rise may not be true.  You post a graph that shows 3.3mm/yr sea rise, and call it a crisis.  That's about 11 inches by 2100.  This is a new kind of alarmism, Oceanoholmesophobia, the fear of catastrophe resulting from the sea rising the equivalent length of deceased porn star John Holmes' moneymaker, over 90 years!

  2. Tech breakthroughs may not in fact result from banning existing tech.  This is off the reservation, because ban-firsters uniformly claim that the breakthroughs in tech are just waiting for the bans, and they will immediately hit the market.  I expect you will get a call from the Pope or one of his cardinals when he gets back from warming the air in Poznan.

  3. You admit scientific consensus is in fact, not achieved on armageddonistic AGW.  This one will really get your chestnuts roasted on an open fire.

  With your new concessions, I cannot see the doom. Thanks for the early present, Joe.  Now I have to run out and try and find you an organic fruit basket....did you hear it's snowing in New Orleans?   Have a white and cold and environmentally merry Xmas!

  Habitats for Terraflagraphobes

  Terraflagraphobia is the fear of the Earth exploding into an immense fireball because evil humans drive cars.  The symptoms are 1) skepdignation, irrational animus for persons who are skeptical of global incineration, and 2) greenophilia, involuntary sexual arousal upon viewing plant leaves move in the wind.  

  These suffering people stagger through the day, lurching from making nonsensical dogmatic pronouncements of doom and wrathful condemnation of greenphemers, to public masturbation in front of lilac bushes.  

  We propose to sedate and detain these people in a humane and dignified manner, and create special habitats for them, where fake news stories of mass utopian conversion to an idyllic nativism are piped in through televisions, and the guests are free to pleasure themselves in a lush meadow of flora to their heart's content.  

  Please donate to this worthy cause at  HabitatsforTerraflagraphobes.org.

  It aint a tyranny outside gristmill yet, Roberts

  Can't take a little righteous indignation?  I'd be honored to be banned by such a distinguished ludd.  You'd be making my point: to the ludds, freedom only valid if it is practiced within the state's egalitarian policies.

  So get 'er done, you ludd punk.  Make my day.On Pearlstein: 'A Detroit bankruptcy beats a bailout' -- but what do you think? posted 12 months ago 29 Responses

  A 1st! Luddhunter agrees w/Romm:Call Dr. Kevorkian

  Ditto Romm on not trusting the big 3 with our money, but not for the same reason.  First time we've agreed on anything. But Joe is a ludd who has a utopian vision of clean tech everywhere, who would rather everyone have NO tech rather than any "dirty" tech.

  It is Joe and other ludds' onerous rapulations which helped the big 3 accelerate to the brink.  It is Joe and other ludds' appeasement of union extortion which created an unsustainable cost vector.
  It is Joe and other ludds' prevention of national oil exploration and refinement that drove up gas prices and killed demand.

  Let them die.  They appear willing to die on their knees, hands out, begging pathetically.  Better to call Dr. Kevorkian now, and declare bankruptcy, and let foreign companies buy the profitable divisions.

  I must rant on the bailout mentality.

  The statist handout begging whiners from the left and the rightwing-monopolist-oligarch-sucking punks must be creaming in teir collectivist/fascistic jeans over these daily bailout calls.  This is the 72 green smelly virgins they dreamt of when their pillowbiting Knight in Shimmery Satin, Barney Frank, and his p_ss-boy Chris Dodd, and the libertarian-in-name-only Alan Greenspan aided the sabotage of the housing market years ago.  The inevitable socialist/fascist bailout coup going on now must be like a never-ending orgasm for the Leviathan-knob-slobbers.  Pelosi and Obama want to bail them out.  Typical bleeding __ss appeasement of failure.

  F_ckin parasites, all of them. But be careful what you wish for. There is only so much tax extortion money you can use.  They can't bail out every bloated, overregulated, govt co-opted, union-slacker-infested dinosaur company.  They should die a horrible death, with screwdriver turning union idiots losing their 45$/hr jobs that would be $10/hr in a free market, and losing their pensions, and having to work their last 5 years for Toyota at 1/3 the pay.  Justice served for parasiting for so many years.

  They are now begging to suckle Mommy Government fearing that they will have to get a real job.  Makes me f_ckin sick to watch the begging or the suckling.  Good thing the founders are dead and don't have to watch what sissified losers half of us have become.

  Bailout THIS

  Ditto jabailo on capitalists, but pouring money into green tech only makes sense where science-intensive basic research is needed to validate promising theoretical technology, such as high-yield solar cells.

  And when the money runs out, the useless unionized b_stards might just have to compete and add value to stay employed.  Or do they all still run to their mommies and breast-feed when for comfort when they worry about having to get a real job?
