These Words Mean What?

Professor Obama chimes in on the "irreversible momentum" of clean energy, yet seems to indicate that future policy choices will influence our eventual energy path.

So, is the momentum for clean energy irreversible unless it is reversed? I'm not sure what I am being told here. Nor can I guess at his intent. If his goal is to take the pressure off Trump and talk the Hillary/Obama crowd in from their various window ledges, I suppose a "Trump Doesn't Matter" essay might make sense. or maybe he is hoping to persuade the international community of that notion.

Who knows? And, after checking the calendar, who cares? I'll guess at another motivation - since this paper is nicely foot-noted and appears in "Science", maybe Prof. O is hoping to snag another Nobel Prize on his way out the door. Bookends!

SINCE YOU ASK: NO, the word "fracking" does not appear. Waddya, kidding? He does acknowledge that US carbon emissions fell while the economy grew in part due to a shift to natural gas from coal, without using the five letter word:

Since 2008, the United States has experienced the first sustained period of rapid GHG emissions reductions and simultaneous economic growth on record. Specifically, CO₂ emissions from the energy sector fell by 9.5% from 2008 to 2015, while the economy grew by more than 10%. In this same period, the amount of energy consumed per dollar of real gross domestic product (GDP) fell by almost 11%, the amount of CO₂ emitted per unit of energy consumed declined by 8%, and CO₂ emitted per dollar of GDP declined by 18% (2).

The importance of this trend cannot be understated. This “decoupling” of energy sector emissions and economic growth should put to rest the argument that combatting climate change requires accepting lower growth or a lower standard of living.

...

The IEA noted that “There have been only four periods in the past 40 years in which CO₂ emission levels were flat or fell compared with the previous year, with three of those—the early 1980s, 1992, and 2009—being associated with global economic weakness. By contrast, the recent halt in emissions growth comes in a period of economic growth.”

...

The American electric-power sector—the largest source of GHG emissions in our economy—is being transformed, in large part, because of market dynamics. In 2008, natural gas made up ~21% of U.S. electricity generation. Today, it makes up ~33%, an increase due almost entirely to the shift from higher-emitting coal to lower-emitting natural gas, brought about primarily by the increased availability of low-cost gas due to new production techniques (2, 15).

Mysterious "new production techniques.

Obama also explains that public policy must continue to incentive businesses to improve their bottom lines by conserving energy, since businessmen (and women! Also, the gender-fluid) can't figure out for themselves that cutting costs and reducing the efficiency of their energy usage can improve the venerable bottom line. Yeah, I don't know why these business leaders are so foolish and short-sighted either, but thank heavens a former (and failed) community organizer is here to help straighten them out.

Seems to be that the 'irreversible momentum' is climate changers, globalist warmings, and it is the engine to which others fascists agendas, like genderists and global taxists, can attach compliance. Obaminator's are apparent in the rigour twitches of his reign as he, through his wife, gives away hundreds of millions to genderists that focus on kids and seizes whole oceans as he denies Israel's right to exist.

daddy,

Thanks for the article on Queen Elizabeth's skirt. Fantastic embroidery!

There is a Georgian ball gown in the British museum which is heavily embroidered and embellished with beading (not sure if they were pearls). The thing must have weighed a ton. Beautiful handwork.

I also saw some embroidered chair cushions at a country house I visited when in England, but they were displayed in a room with no lighting, away from the windows, because the curators wanted to preserve the fabric from fading and deterioration. The colors were very rich.

The Elizabethan court, judging from samples and photographs, must have been very colorful and glittery.

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

JimNorCal (managed to spell your name right this time),

Speaking as the daughter of an English teacher, "incentive" would be a noun, not a verb. A similar example of error would be using "priority" instead of "prioritize."

My guess is that this is an auto-correct error.

The North Dakota Game and Fish Department recently obtained the accompanying video (CAUTION: This video contains some graphic images and language) and is releasing it to the public and media in an effort to get more information on this event, and to identify the individuals involved in an apparent illegal killing of a whitetail buck. Based on current information, the incident took place during the fall of 2016 on the north side of the Cannonball River west of the ND Highway 1806 bridge over the Cannonball, in the vicinity of the Dakota Access Pipeline protest camps.

This raw, unedited video is approximately 7 minutes long and shows several individuals pulling a whitetail buck that was struggling in the river, to the shore and apparently killing it by stabbing it, and then holding its nose in the mud to suffocate it.

From Miss Marple's 05:45:

Brotman, 89...The man who has announced every inaugural parade for the past 60 years, who President-elect Donald Trump did not invite back this year, said he thought he “was going to commit suicide” after he heard he'd been replaced.

IIRC, President Obama (Old people don’t need life saving treatments they can take a pain pill) and ObamaCare Architect Zeke Emanuel (Why I Hope to Die at 75 - The Atlantic) thought it was a good idea for people older than 75 to take a little blue pill and off themselves for the benefit of the rest of us, so maybe this Brotman guy ought to count his blessings that Hillary didn't get the chance to make their policy mandatory.

Delay on the DeVos hearing that had been scheduled for tomorrow.

The hearing, which was slated for Wednesday morning, has been moved to Tuesday, Jan. 17, at 5 p.m., according to a statement sent late Monday.

Because of how the federal education law is written on when CMOs become eligible for federal funds for interstate or intrastate expansion, divestment is a must. My guess is that made her financial statements more pertinent than most cabinet picks. I also think she and her husband were early backers of K12. Other online provider investments would also be relevant and likely given previous patterns of investment in education entities.

Did you even know there was an official announcer? I didn't. I usually use the time while the parade is going on to get stuff done before later coverage of balls and such, so I never paid much attention.

The PROPER way to handle this would have been to graciously acccept the emeritus title, offer tips tot he new guy, and maybe sit with him during his first effort.

Via a link at Insty, this is cool story that I think is probably somewhat true:
Troops sour on Mattis nomination after he releases 6,000-book reading list

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A large number of active-duty troops once enthusiastic about the choice of James Mattis for Defense Secretary have since soured on the pick after the retired general released a 6000-book reading list he plans to implement for the entire DoD after he is confirmed...

Here is a list from the story linked, but I think it only includes 70 or so books: LtGen James Mattis' Reading List (June 2007),

You better get cracking' Narciso!

And from Googling I see that there are some other booklists purported to be from General Mattis, such as this Listmania one: Lt. Gen. James Mattis Professional Reading

I am pretty sure this is set up to ask Sessions about it today. Motive on that is unclear. Could be tryig to set her up for a pardon, or to make sure that the public knows that she did transmit classified material, or simply to cause a big stink at Sessions' hearing. It's impossible for me to guess.

Cap'n...you asked about the impact of deleting the Mortgage Interest Deduction on homes sales/prices. Jimmy gave you a good answer.

The basic theory is that if mortgage interest is deductible from one's itemized income tax return then the cost of owning a house is lower compared to renting and therefore more people will buy v rent and they can afford to pay more for it. I know you know that.

But these are not normal times and so the usual calculus is not at all clear. Consider:

First of all ZIRP has produced crazy low rates in the first place and so the value of the deduction is much lower on a case by case basis. When the market FINALLY, as it must, adjusts to rates having to return to their global normals, then the impact of that alone will do all the damage to the markets that you worry about.

Second, tax rates and details are such that it is harder to figure out what the actual impact is on a lot of taxpayers these days.

Third with almost 100M workers not employed, the macro impact is harder to figure.

Fourth, actual income tax payments are now so skewed to the top 10% that the historical impact on the other 90% is harder to see.

Fifth, since the calculation has to be "compared to what", it is significant that as local communities are finding it harder to raise enough tax income to balance their budgets, they have found that it is easier to significantly increase taxes on a few thousand landlords than on hundreds of thousands of homeowners...so they do. Every landlord simply passes his real estate tax burden on to his tenants in higher rents. Add to that the remarkable increase in the cost of building anything because of government and you have a situation where the "rent curve" is not as attractive as it used to be.

Sixth, headlines just today advise Millenials that their former math on the savings needed to adequately fund their future retirements is probably off by a factor of two (i.e. they need to double their savings); the cost of educating their kids has become a hockey stick; the cost of medical care also is scary and unpredictable; job security ain't like it used to be. Etc etc etc.

All of that has so much impact on the decision of millions on whether to buy and how much to pay that the isolated impact of an increase on the buyer's income tax bill becomes just more noise in a very loud room.

I know. That was a whole lot of words just to say "who knows?"!

Didn't Jeff Sessions prosecute a klnasman when he was a US attorney? And didn't he get the death penalty?

I think I am correct. Off to search.

Yes. I am correct.

http://www.weeklystandard.com/in-alabama-jeff-sessions-desegregated-schools-and-got-the-death-penalty-for-kkk-murderer/article/2005461

" And he also prosecuted Klansman Henry Francis Hays, son of Alabama Klan leader Bennie Hays, for abducting and killing Michael Donald, a black teenager selected at random. Sessions insisted on the death penalty for Hays. When he was later elected the state Attorney General, Sessions followed through and made sure Hays was executed. The successful prosecution of Hays also led to a $7 million civil judgment against the Klan, effectively breaking the back of the KKK in Alabama."
