Orlov on Climate Change

I can't really say it better than my guy Dmitri, so I won't:

"If you are a former industrial power that has squandered its resources on solar panels and wind generators while shutting down your coal-fired power plants (to avoid a potential 4±15ºC global average temperature rise by 2100) as well as your nuclear power plants (because of Fukushima) you need to go to Moscow as well. To smooth out the ragged, intermittent power output from sun and wind you’ll need lots of cheap natural gas imports, and here Russia’s Gazprom is your friend. (The +4ºC is from the IPCC consensus estimate, and ±15ºC is the size of the error bars on that number based on standard error propagation analysis of errors on current climate measurements; so, yeah, it could be +19ºC, or it could be ‑11ºC, or anything in between—take your pick!—though ±19ºC doesn’t look physically possible while ‑11ºC would put us in the middle of the next hundred-thousand-year glaciation cycle.) Your other option is to wait for your “renewables” to get worn out, then reread printouts of this article by candlelight while gently weeping."

Global warming is one of my favorite bugaboos.  While it has become obvious to me that the power seeking parasites, and the rent seekers in government use CC as simply a lever, many people do not.  I find that strange to the point of being funny.  

When the techno-archeologists sift through the rubble, they'll look at the Global Warming scam the same way we look at the Salem Witch Trials.
