Cambridge Professor Says 'Madness' Of Fighting Global Warming Will Impoverish Everyone

Cambridge Professor Says 'Madness' Of Fighting Global Warming Will Impoverish Everyone - Technocracy News:
"TN Note: Technocracy is an energy-based, micro-managed system of total control over all production and all consumption.
Notably, Technocrats live in a fairy-land world that is devoid of economists.
They promise that they are going to ‘save the world’ but in fact, they are destroying the world.
This madness must be confronted and stopped before they push the world into total oblivion.
Cambridge University electrical engineering professor Dr. M.J. Kelly concluded in a peer-reviewed journal article that attempts to fight global warming with green energy will impoverish the world.
The Monday article found reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions enough to actually slow global warming in a measurable way simply isn’t possible without significantly reducing standards of living by plunging most of the world into poverty, destitution and starvation.
“Over the last 200 years, fossil fuels have provided the route out of grinding poverty for many people in the world,” states the article.
“This trend is certain to continue for at least the next 20 years based on the technologies of scale that are available today.
A rapid decarbonization is simply impossible over the next 20 years unless the trend of a growing number who succeed to improve their lot is stalled by rich and middle class people downgrading their own standard of living.”
The article found current CO2 emissions aren’t falling rapidly enough to slow global warming largely because most public policy has focused exclusively on developing wind and solar power, which may actually increase emissions. Continued support for wind, solar and other forms of green energy like biofuel “represents total madness” as these energy systems don’t justify the massive costs of the subsidies required to support them..."

When the public is disarmed-----Dad And Son Are Seconds From Assassination By ISIS... Then Quiet Click Half-Mile Away Happens

Dad And Son Are Seconds From Assassination By ISIS... Then Quiet Click Half-Mile Away Happens:
"The savages in the Islamic State group had picked a father and his eight-year-old son to be sacrifices in their sick execution game. 
However, a member of the British Special Air Service made sure that they would be safe in the most unlikely of ways.
According to Express.com, the execution was about to occur after Islamic State group forces marched into a Syrian town along the Turkish border. Seeking to “cleanse” the town, they were executing any remaining Shiite residents.
The father and his son were picked out because they refused to denounce their faith. However, an Iraqi spy had tipped off the Special Air Service, and the elite British military force had fixed a sniper on the attempted assassination
“Through binoculars, the soldiers could see that the crowd were terrified and many were in tears,” a source said of the execution site.
The leader of the Islamic State contingent, flanked by several guards with AK-47s,  then called for the father and son to be brought before him.
“A tall bearded man emerged and drew a long knife,” the source continued.
“He began addressing the crowd and slapping the father and his son around the head and kicking them onto the floor.”
That’s when the SAS sniper took action (H/T Mad World News).
“The ISIS thug who was about to decapitate the father was shot in the head and collapsed,” the eyewitness said.
“Everyone just stared in confusion.
“The sniper then dispatched the two henchmen with single shots — three kills with three bullets. It was a good day’s work.”
Indeed it was.
While President Barack Obama has been unwilling to commit U.S. ground forces to the fight against the radical barbarians of the Islamic State group, at least our allies are willing to do what needs to be done.
If only we had American special operations troops over there who could end these savages’ reign of terror."

Judge's Ruling Extracts Ruthless Justice From Obama's DOJ After They Lied Directly To His Face ⋆ US Herald

Judge's Ruling Extracts Ruthless Justice From Obama's DOJ After They Lied Directly To His Face ⋆ US Herald:

"Not since those dark days of Watergate, has an administration attempted to circumvent, cover-up or whitewash its misdeeds as obviously as this administration. Even Richard Nixon had enough of whatever ethics he had left to resign the presidency for the good of the country.

Not so with this dismal cast of characters so corrupt that even Federal Judge Andrew S. Hanen finally acknowledged what has been apparent since this Chicago hustler has occupied the White House, that systemic corruption is rampant and has ordered every Department of Justice lawyer take an annual 3-hour ethics course for the next five years."

Here's The 'Milk List' For The 100th Running Of The Indy 500

Here's The 'Milk List' For The 100th Running Of The Indy 500
The Indianapolis 500 doesn’t greet winners with a big bottle of champagne as most races do. 
They hand the winner an ice cold bottle of milk.
This creates a curious artifact every year: a list of driver’s milk preferences.
Who wants the whole experience?
Who’d rather water it down?
Behold!
Here’s this year’s list.
According to American Dairy Association Indiana, 17 drivers requested whole milk this year, with two-percent being the next most popular at 13 requests.
The watered-down fat-free stuff may sound a little easier to stomach after being in a hot race car, but only three drivers requested it.
The driver gets the most attention, however, a rookie milk man also delivers commemorative bottles of milk to the winning car’s chief mechanic and team owner.

More Warnings——Unsustainable Auto Sales And Stock PE Ratios

More Warnings——Unsustainable Auto Sales And Stock PE Ratios | David Stockman's Contra Corner
"...automobiles, among a variety of other economic indicators as discussed recently, are sending a clear warning sign.

...Here’s the problem. There is a finite number of people to sell new cars too.

What the chart above shows is the number of cars sold currently now exceeds both the total increase in population and replacement needs of the existing population. In other words, the pool of available buyers is rapidly being depleted.

“But Lance, people will trade in those cars every couple of years, so the trend can keep going.”

Not really. As recently noted by Wolf Richter:

“Deep-subprime borrowers are high-risk. Typically they have credit scores below 550. To make it worth everyone’s while, they get stuffed into loans often with interest rates above 20%. To make payments even remotely possible at these rates, terms are often stretched to 84 months. Borrowers are typically upside down in their vehicle: the negative equity of their trade-in, along with title, taxes, and license fees, and a hefty dealer profit are rolled into the loan. When the lender repossesses the vehicle, losses add up in a hurry.

Auto loans, in general, have been in a huge boom that reached $1.04 trillion in the fourth quarter 2015:”

With more sub-prime auto loans outstanding currently than prior to the financial crisis, defaults rising rapidly and a large majority with negative equity in their vehicles, swapping out to a new car is becoming a near impossible option.

Yikes!

FAU Professor Praises Severing Hands Under Sharia Law

FAU Professor Praises Severing Hands Under Sharia Law | The Daily Caller
"At a panel discussion on Islam and terrorism at Florida Atlantic University, a professor on the taxpayer-funded school’s faculty praised the Sharia law practice of cutting off the hands of criminals who steal.
The words of wisdom concerning the notorious Islamic penal code came from Bassem Al Halabi, an electrical engineering and computer science professor at Florida Atlantic University. Florida
In countries in the Middle East where Sharia law is not practiced, Al Halabi said, people “die in dozens and hundreds every day because of organized crime.
People kill people — other people — for steal [sic] pizza for 10 dollars.
So when Islamic Sharia is saying about capital punishment — so even though it sounds very severe, but if that is the solution to prevent any crimes, then it still has a lot of rules and regulations.”
Al Halabi then defended cutting off criminals’ hands.
“I will just mention one and stop here, which is: let’s say cutting the hand off a person if they steal,” the Florida Atlantic professor continued.
“It sounds very severe.
It sounds very barbaric, I know.
But if it takes one or two people to have their hands cut off and then there’s no more stealing in the whole nation, that’s a much better resolution than having hundreds of people die every day.”
Al Halabi also assured attendees at the event that “Sharia is being practiced in the United States.”
“We at the Islamic Center of Boca Raton, we practice Sharia — if someone doesn’t know,” he said..."

"For many of us, May is the high holy month of our passion for racing.

There is hope in the air and pride in our hearts as we approach the long-anticipated 100th Running of the Indianapolis 500.

Leona Clinton and the little people

Leona Clinton and the little people | Washington Examiner:
"...But Clinton's scandal is not really about emails. 
They are important details, but they are not the big picture. 
Her scandal — actually, the latest of a lifetime of scandals — is about the contempt she has shown for all the rules that little people have to live by. 
Like Leona Helmsley, the New York millionairess who notoriously suggested that "only the little people pay taxes," Clinton appears to believe that there is one set of rules for her and another for everyone else."

After Hillary Drops Out... What? | PJ Media:

"The State Department's report on Hillary Clinton's insouciant attitude toward cyber-security would finish any other American politician. She ignored the law, flouted it repeatedly, and didn't care; folks are in prison for less. The only thing that's holding her up at this point is her Amen Corner in the media, most of whom know her personally and who long for a Clinton Restoration in order to reclaim their places as house courtiers.

Bus that drives over cars: China unveils futuristic transport concept

Bus that drives over cars: China unveils futuristic transport concept:
"IT LOOKS like a cross between an oversized train and a transformer.
But this is actually an elevated bus and China hopes it holds the answer to its crazy traffic jams.
The Transit Elevated Bus (TEB) would see passengers ride above the traffic below with stops placed along the route in a similar system to the subway — except apparently cheaper.
A scale model of the bus was unveiled just days ago at the 19th China Beijing International High-Tech Expo, and it certainly attracted some attention.
While the cost was not made clear, the engineer in charge of the TEB project said he believed it would solve major congestion issues across the country.
Bai Zhiming told China’s Central Television network, CCTV News: “With a carrying capacity of 1200 people at a time, the TEB has the same functions as the subway while its cost of construction is less than one fifth of the subway.
“Its construction can be finished in one year.”

"WASHINGTON — The State Department’s inspector general has sharply criticized Hillary Clinton’s exclusive use of a private email server while she was secretary of state, saying she had not sought permission to use it and would not have received it if she had.
In a report delivered to members of Congress on Wednesday, the inspector general said that Mrs. Clinton “had an obligation to discuss using her personal email account to conduct official business” with officials responsible for handling records and security but that inspectors “found no evidence” that she had requested or received approval from anyone at the department to conduct her state business on a personal email.
The report also said that department officials “did not — and would not — approve her exclusive reliance on a personal email account to conduct Department business.”
It also added new detail about Mrs. Clinton’s motivation for using the private server, which she has said was set up for convenience..."
