Pontifical Pronouncements: A Case Study in Climate Change Dogma
13 hours ago Charles Rotter 40 Comments

In an interview that saw Pope Francis grace the screens of American television, a curious fusion of religious authority and climatological commentary was on full display. Speaking from the Vatican, the Pope tackled a variety of topics, but none seemed to ignite his fervor quite like the topic of climate change, where he promptly labeled skeptics as “fools.”

Let’s unpack the nature of this discourse, starting with the Pope’s assertion. By dubbing climate change deniers as “foolish,” the Pope effectively shuts down the critical, scientific inquiry that is the bedrock of robust scientific discourse. Such a dismissal, especially coming from a religious leader, applies the import of religious dogma to a secular issue.

Biden roasted for agreeing to debate Trump on Howard Stern: 'His handlers must be furious!'
'I'm still trying to get past the fact that his handlers let him go on Stern...' one commentator wrote

Political commentators joked that Biden’s staff is panicking after the gaffe-prone president said he would be "happy" to debate Trump during an interview with Howard Stern Friday.

"I don't know if you're going to debate your opponent," Stern said.

The president replied, "I am, somewhere, I don’t know when. I'm happy to debate him."

Biden's comments represent a shift from past remarks about possibly debating Trump. Last month, he told reporters it would depend "on his behavior."

Trump was quick to challenge Biden to debate him, declaring on Truth Social, "Everyone knows he doesn’t really mean it, but in case he does, I say, ANYWHERE, ANYTIME, ANYPLACE, an old expression used by Fighters."

The Biden-Harris Zero-Emissions Freight Strategy: Tilting at Windmills

https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/04/24/fact-sheet-biden-harris-administration-sets-first-ever-national-goal-of-zero-emissions-freight-sector-announces-nearly-1-5-billion-to-support-transition-to-zero-emission-heavy-duty-vehicles/#:~:text=This%20new%20commitment%20to%20zero,the%20transportation%20sector%20by%202050
The Biden-Harris Administration’s announcement of a national goal to establish a zero-emissions freight sector, alongside a hefty allocation of nearly $1.5 billion for the transition to zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles, presents a textbook case of policy driven more by ideological ambition than by practical realities. This plan not only assumes a smooth technological transition but also purports to address environmental justice concerns, all under the guise of achievable, near-future targets. A deeper analysis, however, reveals a series of fundamentally flawed assumptions and misdirected priorities that merit a critical examination.

The strategy to overhaul the entire freight sector to zero emissions rests on a precarious assumption that the requisite technology is just around the corner. However, the reality of zero-emissions technology in heavy-duty freight—spanning trucks, trains, and ships—is far from ready for widespread deployment. Electric trucks, for example, are still grappling with severe limitations in range and load capacity, not to mention the monumental infrastructure challenges associated with nationwide charging stations, which must somehow proliferate across the vast American landscape within a couple of decades.

Only if they buy electric vehicles.

Climate change won't cost them.  If something doesn't exist, it can't cost.  However, the government's misdirected reactions to the scam will. ****slapping
