The oil, gas and coal industries have been heavily subsidized for a century - no reason it can't be done for green tech.

So much don't know what the hell you are talking about. "Heavily subsidized "? Let me guess, now you will point me to some fake study conducted by people paid to lie to show ne that because oil companies can deduct their expenses this qualified as "subsidies". I have seen these bogus reports before and they are complete bogus nonsense.

Now I remember why I blocked you.  Personal attack, followed by "fake news", followed by conspiracy to defraud, followed by linguistic gymnastics, followed by bogus bogus.

Really, how can scientists compete?

Over $3B annually seems like pretty significant subsidization to me.

The flare-ups in this thread every now and then are pretty hilarious. It always seems like the same two playing dildo's advocate and then getting their man-diapers all twisted up, too.

Thanks for giving me the useless response I expected. Of course you blocked me. You just want to hear what conforms to your bias, and run away screaming from anyone who questions your unsupprtable statements. Syria. Really?

Yeah I don't get it. I question a pretty silly statement about oil subsidies and I get twisted man-diapers in response. If you are going to make statements that are absurd, be prepared to lose the man-diapers and give some reasoned explanations.

There are several hundred billion dollars of cleanup costs for abandoned oil wells in Alberta.  There are no deposits when the company goes out of business to cover these. The Provincial and Federal government will be paying these.

That's a subsidy. A big one.

The idea that it isn't cause it doesn't show up on a financial statement is laughable.

There are numerous examples of this. Poisoned rivers, and lakes, increased cancer (see Indians that live near tar sands projects)  lung disease..... the people that live near refinery operations in Texas have a much higher rate of cancer and birth defects. some people don't call those subsidies.

But that's what they are.

yeah, the insults are obnoxious, as is the superior attituode.

The other guy starts a post "I'll keep this simple" They are incapable of posting with being insulting.

Probably  messaging each other about "triggering the libtards"

blocking is good.

Let's keep on topic please

I always liked Trenberth, for a warmist, at least he tells it like it is,

The NYT, Chicago Times, Washington Post, should be ashamed of themselves for outright lying to the public to push their political agenda. 

[blue_gold_84]

Yeah, I'm sure The Daily Caller has no political agenda whatsoever. Tucker Carlson surely has no political axe to grind.

Let's just agree that neither side should be politicizing science, or do you disagree with that too?

I think he was implying that you were wearing the man-diapers.

Then why the **** would you post that ****? Do one thing, then do the exact opposite... ******* troll.

 Tsonis flipped sides because he couldn't stomach the tactics scientists were using to get this done. 

You got some facts to back this up or just pulling **** from your ass?

No need to be snide. While I do agree nobody should politicize science, I'm not the one posting a link to the far-right, hardcore conservative equivalent of The Huffington Post.

And you still haven't addressed this below and where did you get that information? Unless you produce some fact- you're just pulling **** outta your ass. 

 

I have to congratulate you, you just broke every forum rule in that single post, bravo.

How did I actually politicize it, by showing you an example of it being done and having one of their own calling them out on it. 

I still haven't decided if I'm going to reply to your Tsonis request since you are just flaming and being generally rude.

Seriously, why post a link like that and then get defensive when you get called out on it? Keep playing the victim card, though. You seem to have an endless stack of them.

Trenberth calling bullshit on the NYT, Chicago Times and Washington Post is satisfaction enough for me, watching your heads explode over it is just icing on the cake.

Locking this thread for a day.  Perhaps everyone can take that time to cool off and actually try to have a discussion without insults, gifs, whining, and name calling.  Reflect if you all want to have an actual discussion here or I should just split this into two threads so each side can have their bubbles.

[Rich]

Thread is unlocked, but I am going to start handing out suspensions to people who can't behave civilly in this discussion and in politics.  Seems to be the usual suspects in both.

You guys don't have to agree with each other, but you do have to respect each other and contribute to a discussion, if this is too sensitive of a topic for you to do that, then don't post.
