Unsettled?-Scientist's POV
Unsettled? by Steven E. Koonin
Caveat: I've not read the book. Going looking for it today.
I have listened to him discussing his POV as a scientist-member of the Obaminable- Bitten administration and who is familiar as a scientist with "climate change" vs. "Man-made changes in the climate" ....
As he stated in the interview I saw/heard he's not a "politician" or "social" person. He's a scientist and his book reviews THE SCIENCE. As he was answering questions he seemed to know about Earth History as well.
What he has to say may be .... "Unsettling" to the current extremists trying to piss off our money like they did while he was working for Bitten before.
Why are we pissing off trillions of tax dollars dollars if the world is going to end in a decade? And that is inevitable according to AOC even though this country only produces about 15% of the GLOBAL POLUTION that will end the World. But like all bartenders ... this is "last call"!

Because it could take trillions of dollars to save it in such a short time. And that's just from us. A few trillion here and a few trillion there - eventually we start talking about real money.

Senator Everett McKinley Dirksen Dies
https://www.senate.gov/artandhistory...207%2C%201969.
Quote:
September 7, 1969
During 11 years as his party's Senate floor leader, Illinois Republican Everett McKinley Dirksen became more closely identified in the public mind with the U.S. Senate than any other senator of his time. His physical appearance, his dramatic flair, his cathedral-organ voice: all these attributes made him the personification of radio entertainer Fred Allen's fictional 1940s "Senator Claghorn."
He was the grand marshal of the Tournament of Roses parade; he pioneered a televised weekly press conference with his House counterpart; and, with a narrative album entitled Gallant Men, he became a recording star. The hordes of admiring tourists who flocked to his leader’s office in the Capitol forced him to remove his name from its door. Today, because a Senate office building honors him, his is one of the best known names on Capitol Hill from his generation.
Everett Dirksen first came to Congress in 1933 as a House member. During World War II, he lobbied successfully for an expansion of congressional staff resources to eliminate the practice under which House and Senate committees borrowed executive branch personnel to accomplish legislative work. He gained national attention in 1950 when he unseated the Senate Democratic majority leader in a bitter Illinois contest. Enjoying the confidence of his party’s conservative and moderate factions, he became assistant Republican leader in 1957 and minority leader two years later.
During 10 of his 11 years as party floor leader, the number of Senate Republicans never exceeded 36. Yet, as a supremely creative and resourceful legislator, Dirksen routinely influenced the agenda of the majority-party Democrats. His willingness to change position on issues earned him designations ranging from "statesman" to "Grand Old Chameleon."
On the subject of Senate leadership, it was Dirksen who said, "There are 100 diverse personalities in the U.S. Senate. Oh Great God. What an amazing and dissonant 100 personalities they are! What an amazing thing it is to harmonize them."
Researchers have been unable to track down the quotation most commonly associated with Dirksen. Perhaps he never said it, but the comment would have been entirely in character. Cautioning that federal spending had a way of getting out of control, Dirksen reportedly observed, “A billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon you're talking real money."
This singularly colorful Senate leader died at the age of 73 on September 7, 1969.

It's apparent you don't want to know "the other side"!
Bitten doesn't remember either!
So someone has to say "wait a minute"!
So who is going to pay for the 85% we can't control? Not Bitten! He's already tried.
Unfortunately for you diverting your attention to some other issue with pics fails.

(FILES) US President Barack Obama lifts a solar panel with Chief Executive Officer Chris Gronet (R) as Executive Vice President, Operations and Engineering Ben Bierman looks on during a tour of Solyndra, Inc., a solar panel manufacturing facility, in this May 26, 2010 file photo in Fremont, California. The White House said on September 14, 2011 there was no evidence it has acted inappropriately, after reports said it rushed a review of a half billion dollar loan to now bankrupt solar panel firm Solyndra, leaving taxpayers on the hook for a 535 million dollar USD loan.

You're God damn right you failed to divert my attention to some other issues with pictures.
Solyndra failure sparks GOP attack on green jobs
https://www.sfgate.com/politics/arti...bs-2309127.php
Quote:
Also on Thursday, the House Energy and Commerce Committee demanded to see all communications between the White House and Solyndra. Solyndra chief executive Brian Harrison and Chief Financial Officer W.G. Stover are scheduled to appear before the committee today but have said through their attorney that they will refuse to testify because they are under federal investigation.
Late Wednesday, the committee asked for documents about private loans to the company by Madrone Capital Partners and Argonaut Private Equity, a large investor operated by a family foundation of George Kaiser, a campaign money bundler for President Obama.
Republicans contend the administration broke the law by putting taxpayers in line behind private investors when it restructured the Solyndra loan in February.

If we did everything that idiots like aoc suggest the resultant change to earth’s climate a decade later would be identical to if we do absolutely nothing. We would be a lot poorer though, so maybe that’s the true agenda.
Then again, anyone who’d take advice from that moron has much bigger problems than “global warming”.

We're not in this by ourselves. The world belongs to nobody or everybody.
Until we start exploring another galaxy, my location will remain the Milky Way. Unless we can save mother Earth.
Let's rape and pillage the moon next.

I have heard him speak
a salient point he makes is
as our computer modeling concerning climate change becomes ever more sophisticated
the modeling outcomes/causes/presence become ever more uncertain
while if there was "settled" science on the matter of climate change, it would be logical to think the greater our sophistication, the more certain the "settled" would be
but, in fact, its the opposite

Just because you have a PhD and work as a science researcher, doesn't necessarily mean you're smart.
And wtf is "left" about Biden? Banning menthol cigarettes? Refusing healthcare during a pandemic? Firing everyone on his staff who ever smoked weed? Increasing military spending? I guess it's because he has a woman VP with brownish skin color. I guess the only "left" thing he has done is open the boarder during a pandemic, which makes no sense, but I guess that's considered "left."
