    Beyond the Climate Blame Game

    “Beyond the #Climate Blame Game - http://nyti.ms/gNYubP via @revkin” 

    This will bring up what the times has published:

    http://query.nytimes.com/search/sitesearch?query=climate+change&date_select=full&srchst=cse

    The legislation has failed.  

    All legislation is blocked by our deadlocked congress.

    There must be a shrinking limit on fossil carbon.

    An outright ban on fossil carbon would be my preference.

    We do not control the world.  

    I am not willing to go to war to ban fossil carbon.

    We must work toward ending fossil carbon use 

    where we do control.

    I will back any effort to reduce fossil carbon use.

    It must start immediately.

    In Texas, Questions of Drought and Climate Change

    “In #Texas, Questions of #Drought and #Climate Change - http://nyti.ms/dNK5pT via @KateGalbraith” 

    The science is not now in question.

    We have global warming as a result of fossil carbon use.

    Religion must yield to facts.

    Fossil carbon must be eliminated as quickly as possible.

    All use must end.  

    Let us begin.

    When Rationalization Masquerades as Reason

    “When Rationalization Masquerades as Reason - http://nyti.ms/fGp4SX #energy” 

    A science of politics is called for.

      

    Fossil carbon must be kept out of the atmosphere. 

    This destroys any argument for fossil carbon use.

    The form of the fossil carbon really does not matter.

    If we were to get pure and immediate civilization would quickly end.

    We would be in the world of Mad Max.

    A high and increasing price on all fossil carbon and its results seems to me only practical.

    From 'Wall-E' to Fukushima, Robots Roam

    “From 'Wall-E' to #Fukushima, #Robots Roam - http://nyti.ms/fP0L8a by @revkin” 

    Robots look to me to be the wrong thing to do.

    I do not see how to make them clever.

    They belong in high volume centralized production.

    I would rather not do that.

    Let’s Take a Hike

    “US budget: "we aren’t that heavily taxed, either by historical standards or in comparison with other nations" - http://nyti.ms/fipNjf” 

    "The “People’s Budget” from the Congressional Progressive Caucus"

    "True, it increases revenue partly by imposing substantially higher taxes on the wealthy, which is popular everywhere except inside the Beltway. But it also calls for a rise in the Social Security cap, significantly raising taxes on around 6 percent of workers. And, by rescinding many of the Bush tax cuts, not just those affecting top incomes, it would modestly raise taxes even on middle-income families.
    All of this, combined with spending cuts mostly focused on defense, is projected to yield a balanced budget by 2021. And the proposal achieves this without dismantling the legacy of the New Deal, which gave us Social Security, and the Great Society, which gave us Medicare and Medicaid.
    But if the progressive proposal has all these virtues, why isn’t it getting anywhere near as much attention as the much less serious Ryan proposal? It’s true that it has no chance of becoming law anytime soon. But that’s equally true of the Ryan proposal.
    The answer, I’m sorry to say, is the insincerity of many if not most self-proclaimed deficit hawks. To the extent that they care about the deficit at all, it takes second place to their desire to do precisely what the People’s Budget avoids doing, namely, tear up our current social contract, turning the clock back 80 years under the guise of necessity. They don’t want to be told that such a radical turn to the right is not, in fact, necessary.
    But, it isn’t, as the progressive budget proposal shows.  
    We do need to bring the deficit down, although we aren’t facing an immediate crisis. How we go about stemming the tide of red ink is, however, a choice — and by making tax increases part of the solution, we can avoid savaging the poor and undermining the security of the middle class."  
    
    Those few hundred dollars are not worth a revolution as FDR knew.

    The chard is not in yet.  I am looking for it.

    Spinach has disappeared.  Beets are at a premium.  

    I have been playing with cabbage.
