Climate Change Solutions: Easiest Prediction Ever

Take these three stories together and the next few decades of climate change science and policy become obvious.

A. The big cities most threatened by rising sea levels are in Asia, with emphasis on China and India. The US will be spending $6 billioin a year defending New Orleans, New York and Miami. China will be spending $18 billion defending Guangzhou, Tianjin and Shenzhen. India will be spending $10 billion on Mumbai and Kolkata.

B. The fastest growth in carbon emissions in 2018 is coming from India (+6%) and China +(+5%). The US is up 2% and the EU is probably down. The biggest emitters are China (27% of global emissions), the US (15%), the EU (10%) and India (7%). Unsympathetic math says that IF China and India each grow by 5% per year for five more years their new emissions will roughly equal all of the current EU emissions. If the EU huffs and puffs and goes to zero emissions in the next five years (Bon chance, Macron!)  then net global emissions will still be higher. Not encouraging!

C. Geoengineering is likely to take to the skies over the US next year, despite grave concerns from Greens worried that this will be a distraction from the real fight to push us all back into caves.

The blindingly obvious upshot - China is the biggest emitter by far and has the most to lose from climate change. Also, as Tom Friedman has noted with approval, pesky Greens don't hold much sway there. Expect China, probably with the direct or tacit cooperation of India, to embark on some major geoengineering projects whether the rest of the world is on board or not. If a Pacific volcano can spread dust around the world, surely a motivated Chinese effort can do the same.

The ensuing diplo-scuffles will be fraught. Does the rest of the world impose trade sanctions on China? Does China hold the world hostage, arguing that developed nations owe the third world billions in compensation for our decades of polluting with carbon? And what, pray tell, happens of the apparent short-term consequences are benign to positive - does the rest of the world remain freaked out, or shrug and move on to the next problem?

I am confident that if Barbra Streisand is still alive, this Chinese venture will kill her. As to other consequences, well, I expect to live long enough to find out.

Coal and the UK. Margaret Thatcher, the 1984-5 coal miner's strike and global warming.

It was always my recollection that she used the carbon argument during the miner's strike. The link below shows that she first used it after the strike.

https://www.masterresource.org/climate-exaggeration/thatcher-alarmist-to-skeptic/

The article says she soon turned into a skeptic.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK_miners%27_strike_(1984%E2%80%9385)

A little history on that strike.

https://www.joshuakennon.com/margaret-thatcher-and-the-british-coal-miners-strike/

Another take on how she crushed the miners.

The miners bargaining position was very poor, the mines all operated at losses paid for by the government.

I think Thatcher crushed them, not because of the economics, but because of the union leaders.

Sounds like a UK version of the 1981 Patco air controllers strike.

Junk mail, we all get it, it's G-d's way of letting us know that the the mailperson has been by for a visit. The system is working.

But I get stuff addressed to me, to occupant and about a dozen other people. Who are these people? Former residents? Yeah, I recognize the name of the last occupant of this apartment, but that was 5 years ago. Prior residents to that? I have no idea. People using my address for some unknown reason? Don't think so.

It's weird. The internet can scoop up tons of information on us, but mailing list providers don't know who's living where?

I've gotten used to it over the years, but today, I got a new name - Christopher Steele - never saw that one before.

I hope nobody is looking for him. It sounds like a spy name.

Knock. Knock. "Are you Christopher Steele." Me, "huh." "We have a warrant for Christopher Steele, may we come in?" "Hell no."

Digital media is something Mrs. Kid and i know much about. Monetizing digital sans Google's roulette schemes has always been a difficult business, especially when a publisher seeks to keep print pubs going simultaneously, like our 150 year old company has.

What it comes down to is the company must have top flight editorial staff who can write for the literate segment of the audience. this "propeller head smart ass millenial hipster" shite doesn't sell.

People who stick with a pub, especially one that makes the claim of having touch on the "pulse" of any market demographic and their interest segments--- expect editorial brilliance. It's personal.

WAPO's subbies are up? It's personal: Get Trump. That compensates for having zero journalistic scruples or editorial ethics/professionalism. So call it have one or the other or BOTH.

Can we agree that the word "sustainable" is break-even bullshitake minded nonsense?

https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2018/12/report-william-barr-is-leading-candidate-for-attorney-general.php

I wonder if there is a dynamic going on, something like this:
1) GOPe makes it clear that only swampy nominees will be approved by the Senate. For example, Kavanaugh was widely rumored to be supported in part by some normally-squishy Senators because of past connections to Bush. There was a vibe that going farther populist/pro-Trump would be shaky which was why some of the other candidates were held back.
2) Trump Admin builds a list of potential noms who will look good on paper to GOPe Swamp Senators but who have the potential to be pro-Deplorable.
3) Much tea-leaf reading ensues

Glad to see Trump giving Mueller the "and the horse you rode in on" treatment this morning.

How many times over the course of the Mueller SC has Trump tweeted out some variation of this Witch Hunt theme? My guess is close to 100 times. What is Trump trying to accomplish by repeating himself so many times? Who is he trying to influence? His supporters already agree with him. Those who hate him are not going to be swayed. Last week Extraneous said something to the effect that these Witch Hunt tweets are making Trump look weak. Should Trump supporters take those tweets literally or is there some unwritten strategic intent behind them?
