The scam is what activists are saying we need to do to "fix" it.
Basically, what ever their agenda was 30 years ago is now revived to
stop global warming. (higher gas taxes, stop eating meat. ban cars,
ZPG or whatever)



Higher gas taxes, eating less meat, driving smaller cares and
controlling population would benefit all of us, whatever the motivation.

So sell it that way and stop making up lies that this will stop global
climate change in any way at all.

It is like the Iraq war. If we had just said at the outset, this was
to stop an Iraqi/Isreali war, we could have made a rational decision.
As it was we had a lie, compounded by obfuscation and denial.
It certainly had noting to do with oil but that was what the left
said. (Saddam would have been more than happy to sell us oil at a
bargain price)
The right talked about direct threats to the US and that is BS too.


Huh? Dick Cheney and George Bush in office and it had nothing to do
with oil? It was to prevent Israel going to war with Saddam?

Over what, Saddam's payments to jihadists?

You've got to be kidding...

Sell it *that* way? There are many reasons to support higher gas taxes,
eating less meat, driving smaller cars and controlling population growth.

As for the Iraq war, I don't buy the reason you gave, either. It wasn't
about oil and it wasn't about preventing an Israeli/Iraqi war.

What it was about: a fallback for the Bush Administration, which, up
until the time it decided to invade Iraq, had utterly failed in its
promise to catch those responsible for planning and implementing the
9-11 attacks. It was neocon meat thrown to boobus Americanus, and meant
to help avoid a GOP debacle in the 2002 congressional elections.

It was a war started for the most cynical of reasons. Cheney should have
been indicted, arrested, convicted and imprisoned.

What nobody says is they made more freon after the "ban" than they had
before it. China never stopped and they made close to a billion R-12
(the worst stuff) refrigerators after the ban. Mexico was still
selling R-12 for many years after the ban (and probably still are)
A few years ago I read an article about the gray market in it.
You can still get R-22 but the end of US manufacture is this year I
believe.

A rational person who actually understands how much freon was made and
released would have to say that ozone hole was a natural cycle that
cycled the other way ... all by itself.



Well, it looks like the Nobel committee was wrong yet again, as three
scientists were awarded the prize in chemistry for the theory.

Well, it looks like the Nobel committee was wrong yet again, as three
scientists were awarded the prize in chemistry for the theory.



Careful now...righties don't believe in the Nobel prizes.

Higher gas taxes, eating less meat, driving smaller cars and
controlling population would benefit all of us, whatever the motivation.


So sell it that way and stop making up lies that this will stop global
climate change in any way at all.

It is like the Iraq war. If we had just said at the outset, this was
to stop an Iraqi/Isreali war, we could have made a rational decision.
As it was we had a lie, compounded by obfuscation and denial.
It certainly had noting to do with oil but that was what the left
said. (Saddam would have been more than happy to sell us oil at a
bargain price)
The right talked about direct threats to the US and that is BS too.


Huh? Dick Cheney and George Bush in office and it had nothing to do
with oil? It was to prevent Israel going to war with Saddam?

Over what, Saddam's payments to jihadists?

You've got to be kidding...


We went to war with Saddam so Israel wouldn't attack them ... again.
(you do remember that?)


I remember that in the litany of excuses about why we were there.

I don't understand why you didn't pick any of the others?
WMD, drones, Winnebagos, Terrorist training camps, the poor trampled
Iraqi masses, mass graves, nuclear weapons materials, yellowcake,
tubes, etc.

Why isn't the big pool of oil under the country your focus. They knew
Saddam was hobbled. They knew the country would be taken over by Iran
if someone didn't fill the void first. Kissinger has been telling
every administration for four decades to go in and occupy the mid-east
so no one else gets their hands on that oil.

You assume it's because we were protecting Israel from getting their
hands dirty?

That dog won't hunt.

We are threatening Iran right now for exactly the same reason.
If we don't stop their nuclear program Israel will.


We are not acting as surrogates for Israel. They will act on their
own as the need dictates, as we've seen many times before. They may
seek our approval but they will move on their own as needed.

Saddam would have sold us cheap oil forever.


Not if he lost control of the country.

The problem is he would
have used the money to buy arms to fight Israel with.


Baloney. He was our stooge and all he wanted was more oil.

As long as he
was just fighting with Iran we were in love with him.


The writing was on the wall. The embargos had weakened him. He was
on his knees and lots inside and out of his circle knew it. You think
neither the US nor Iran knew it? Don't fool yourself.

While you are looking up the Israeli attack on Saddams nuclear plant,
look up Gerald Bull.


I'll do that.

I did not know anyone at IBM who took it seriously at all. Certainly
there was a lot of code that had to be changed but only for people who
had not updated their system in the early 90s. When I retired in 1996
we had already done Y2K compliance in our systems as part of the
ISO9000 fad. The IBM AT system (286 PC) was Y2K compliant.
dBase IV also was and that was a 1991? program. I found the old PC a
while ago that I had on my desk when I retired and that has not run
since 1996. Just for grins I cranked up the mirror of my parts
inventory system I wrote in 1992 and it ran just fine when I plugged
in a part usage in 2009. It whined a little that I had that part
sitting stocked and unused for 13 years ;-)

I remember the computer manufacturers crying for business in the early
part of the decade.. Everyone had new computers, most businesses that I
dealt with at the time kept computers on line for an average of 3-4
years (non scientific guesstimate)... They were mostly cad-cam systems
just going from Token Ring to Ethernet...

An adroit analysis by The Freak. Cash for clunkers is going to cause
the bubble to burst in car sales.

Seems like that happened already, eh? Before cash for clunkers was
instituted. Do cars now have a 30 month lifespan, same as computers?

As you've pointed out, the bubble didn't have **** to do with hardware
sales. It was the inability of all that venture money to get traction
in each one of the stupid investments they made. Companies going
public before they had revenue or profits.

I don't think Saddam was all that worried about losing Iraq if we
didn't take it from him. The sanctions were falling apart and he was
selling lots of oil.
As we found out, he really had destroyed or hidden all of his WMD so
we were really running out of reasons to keep the sanctions going.
I agree GW was an idiot to go in there but I still think it had more
to do with Israel than any other thing.
We certainly did not want another Arab Israel war. There is no reason
to think that would be a 6 day affair this time, nor that it would
only involve Iraq. We might have unraveled everything Carter and those
since him had accomplished in Egypt, Saudi and the Emirates. Iran
might have even dived in on Iraq's side with the "enemy of my enemy"
philosophy. Israel was not going to beat a rebuilt Iraq/Iran/Egypt
axis without nuking someone. That is how WWIII is going to start.
.
If we sided with Israel in that war we really would have an oil
crisis. I am not even sure the Canadians would sell us oil.
We would lose most of Europe for sure. They were already backing away
from us in 1998-99.

If we are going to go to war for Israel, all I ask is we do it with
full disclosure to the American public.


What makes you think every oil producing country in the mid-east
doesn't believe we do Israel's bidding now?

I'm sorry. I agree with most of your analyses but this one doesn't
pass the sniff test. We're already assumed to be in bed with Israel.

We provide nearly all their weapons, exchange intelligence and train
for battlefield conditions with them. The veil is so thin as to be
transparent. The Arab nations aren't stupid.

Freon is still being produced, stockpiled and leaked into the air.
That stuff that was already here in 1997 was still here and I bet less
than 10% of it ever got recycled. Most ended up being vented when the
garbage truck crushed the appliance. I know that is what happened to
my old AC unit. They made a big deal about the freon and how I had to
call for a special pickup, then a claw truck came by, grabbed it and
smashed it right there at the curb. They did the same thing to my old
fridge.
You sure can't say Montreal had anything to do with the ozone hole
closing up.
I fear "global warming" will be another thing just like that. How many
times do you respond to cries of "wolf"


But that's happening less frequently every day, since the day they
began winding down it's production from the peak.

With replacements available, the need for freon has declined.

Most of congress were relying on information they were getting through
