Crap and Tax - A Lobotomy for the United States of America?

By Kevin Klees, Engineer

OK, I’ll start right off by admitting that I am a “Climate Change” Denier, Naysayer, Skeptic, Cynic, Disbeliever, Doubter, Doubting Thomas, Flat Earther, and any other phrases that you might find in your Thesaurus.  There, I admit it.  Do I feel guilty about the future of the planet?  No, not in the least.

Why do I reach this decision?

Because, as an engineer I have extensive training on the actual limits placed on human activities by the LAWS OF PHYSICS.  For more than a quarter of a century I have tried to design things that violate the LAWS OF PHYSICS.  I am ashamed to admit that I HAVE NOT BROKEN ANY OF THEM YET.  As an engineer I am in the FRONT LINES fighting the LAWS OF PHYSICS every day.  So far the LAWS OF PHYSICS are winning, 99-0.

So, here is one of those NASTY little LAWS OF PHYSICS, it’s called the THIRD LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS.  It can make for a really drowsy read, but the simple version states:


Yep, that’s it, pretty simple; it means that there is NOTHING NATURE, OR A MAN/WOMAN CAN DO TO TRAP HEAT.

This LAW is demonstrated MILLIONS of times every day.  When you put more insulation into the attic of your house, you are SLOWING the flow of heat from inside (umm, warm and toasty) to the outside (ugh, cold and wet).  You are NOT TRAPPING HEAT. 

Ask yourself this simple question; if a Greenhouse can “TRAP HEAT” why is it colder inside one in January than in August?  Why can’t you “trap” the heat from August and use it during the whole rest of the year?  Because of the THIRD LAW.

So, if the THIRD LAW is enforced in manmade greenhouses on the surface of the earth, why is it not enforced in the atmosphere of the earth?  Simple answer, it applies equally in all locations.

So you are probably now asking, what’s that whole Lobotomy thing about?  Back in the 1930’s and 1940’s there was a “consensus” that lobotomies’ were an effective treatment for mental disorders.  Unfortunately, one sibling of a recently deceased US Senator from Massachusetts had this “therapy” applied to her.  In fact, the doctor that “perfected” the lobotomy was awarded a Noble prize for his efforts to torture and cripple individual human beings. Of course, it was later determined that the “consensus” was “mistaken”.  Whoops! The next “consensus” will certainly do better, we promise.

So are we really ready to perform a Lobotomy on the Economy of the United States of America by passing the CRAP AND TAX bill because a “consensus” is really really sure that; “most” of the (poorly measured) warming is “very likely” caused by human activities ?  (UN IPCC statement, paraphrased slightly).

Should we commit economic suicide because a “consensus” is sure that MOST of the (poorly measured) warming is VERY LIKELY caused by humans?  One definition of MOST is “more than half”, and the UN’s own definition of VERY LIKELY is 90%, so the UN is stating that 51% * 90% = 45% of the (poorly measured) “warming” is caused by human activities.  Should we perform a self-inflicted lobotomy to “solve” a problem that has a likely occurrence of 45% ?

You should of course also know that the manufacturers of this “consensus” depend entirely on the propagation of the “consensus” for their livelihood i.e.: no consensus, no jobs. See more and contents here.
