This is unconscionable.<br /><br />Thanks for your attention.<br />Andrés Valenciahttp://www.oarval.org/ClimateChangeBW.htmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8125355648059480100.post-43115518339066405022015-04-09T06:40:31.838-07:002015-04-09T06:40:31.838-07:00One of the most glaring hypocrisies of the Chavist...One of the most glaring hypocrisies of the Chavista mindset is the way they criticize other oil producers and consuming nations for their production methods, consumption, and ecological impacts, especially any "capitalist" nation (they are apparently stupid enough to think China and Russia are not among this group), while they continue to pump millions of barrels of dirty oil to sell or give away so that others can stink up the environment with it. While Chavez babbled about loving the trees, the rivers, etc., Venezuelans were wasting 1 cent a gallon gas in old polluting cars, and PDVSA was cleaning up oil spills. The very same arguments made against ecologically rapacious capitalism are never applied to the perfection of 21st Century socialism which is feeding oil daily to the very enemy it criticizes and is helping maintain. Desperate Venezuelans unfortunately gave in to the paranoid fear of the gringo and the hatred of the upper classes only to put their necks in the Chavista noose. If the hated capitalists ever stop buying Venezuelan oil, Venezuelans will all STARVE.

Environmental considerations are weighing very heavily today and will continue doing so. I am simply mentioning it, although I also believe that carbon emissions do contribute to global warming. I don't know enough of the problem to claim it does or does not, I simply believe it does.Gustavohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03110831035822645767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8125355648059480100.post-51394514543788568852015-04-08T22:58:26.142-07:002015-04-08T22:58:26.142-07:00http://anagrammatt2.blogspot.ca/2015/04/dawn-missi...http://anagrammatt2.blogspot.ca/2015/04/dawn-mission-news.html#.VSYUj5NyXZM<br /><br />dAWN MISSION NEWS...!<br /><br />Noticias de la mision a Vesta y Ceres!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8125355648059480100.post-65736012301571704302015-04-08T16:51:18.421-07:002015-04-08T16:51:18.421-07:00Yip, maybe.... but a total collapse in Oil Industr...Yip, maybe.... but a total collapse in Oil Industry will destroy American Way of life also.....What will do all Middle East Countries, Russia, Netherlands???...Only to mention a handfull of players.....What will happened with all Industries associated with Oil Industry?

You still aren´t aware of the paradigm shift here. This isn´t just about reducing carbon emissions to control climate change....the idea is born out of the need to stop damaging the environment as drilling for oil, whatever technology being used, is DETRIMENTAL to the planet. Period. If we are to survive as a human race, we should start relating to our only home in more respectful manner and, of course, develop other sources of RENEWABLE energy. Great analysis Gustavo, as usual.

When I read:
A. Environmenta...Dear Gustavo Coronel,<br />When I read:<br />A. Environmental limitations<br />There is as much oil as ever to be produced in the planet but environmental scientists say that, in order to comply with a limit of 2 degrees centigrade increase in global warming, substantial volumes of fossil fuel resources will have to be left in the ground, as stranded assets. Imagine: most of the Canadian oil sands, most of the Orinoco region heavy oils, large percentages of Russian and Iranian oil, would have to remain indefinitely in the ground. Such an environmental limitation, if applied, would have dramatic geopolitical and financial repercussions. Even if this game changing move did not fully take place, there is no doubt that the environmental card is being played ever more strongly, as humanity realizes the critical importance of minimizing carbon emissions.<br /><br />I can not help but think what an injustice is being done to humanity in the name of a failed hypothesis about the capacity of carbon dioxide to warm the Earth in a measurable amount.<br /><br />Recent estimates from IPCC (2007) say the Climate Sensitivity is likely to be between 2 and 4.5°C. But Sherwood Idso in 1998 calculated the Climate Sensitivity to be 0.4°C, and more recently Richard Lindzen at 0.5°C. Roy Spencer calculated 1.3°C in 2011.<br /><br />Even 1.3°C is well within the natural climate variations which are internally originated by the chaotic climate system itself.<br /><br />Please read "On Natural Climate Variability and Climate Models" (Roy W. Spencer, Ph. D., Principal Research Scientist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville - UAH. February 27th, 2015), at http://www.drroyspencer.com/2015/02/on-natural-climate-variability-and-climate-models/<br /><br />El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is one of a variety of natural forcing mechanisms that are in play.<br />The Sun, with its cyclical changes, is another and it has been since 1990 reducing its activity, indicating a possible start of global cooling times.<br />We need to keep getting petroleum, not shutting down wells.<br /><br />There seems to be no "critical importance of minimizing carbon emissions".<br />Andrés Valenciahttp://www.oarval.org/ClimateChangeBW.htmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8125355648059480100.post-49985555123341206832015-04-08T12:18:53.242-07:002015-04-08T12:18:53.242-07:00No se si sera cierto que ya han recogido 30 millon...No se si sera cierto que ya han recogido 30 millones de firmas contra el presidente Obama o es puro "bluff, aunque por supuesto mas me inclino a pensar que es totalmente "bluff" que otra cosa, ademas que es facilisimo firmar sin que se verifique a los autenticos "firmantes".<br /><br />No obstante, esta actitud chavista me preocupa en extremo y a veces me pregunto si es que en Venezuela predomina la combinación ideología-tecnocracia. <br />Nada mas peligroso como la "tecnocracia" para hacer que desaparezcan los sentidos de la perspectiva, de la realidad y, por sobre todo, de la humanidad.

Venezuela's troubles are to be blamed only partly on oil. Attitude is a much bigger problem. The attitude in Venezuela is laziness. They have become used to Oil paying all the bills. Chavez threw out the USA wanting to keep all the revenue with no eye to the future development of the assets. The rest of the nation revelled at the income and did not bother to work. Much easier to buy everything, not manufacture, not work to farm and mine the aluminum and copper, to grow ANYTHING in the paradise of the earth with 4 seasons to do so. The nation became dependent on the wealth and the Leaders dependent on the graft and corruption. BILLIONS of dollars are in Swiss banks for the cushion needed when they flee a sinking Bankrupt Venezuela while the populace have to experience all the losses.<br />Who is gonna save them? Broke Cuba, Greedy China, a USA that has been ridiculed and blamed for all the woes in the country? <br />The problem starts at the top. Nepotism, Graft, Corruption, Protection, Pay Offs, all these keep so many dollars from getting to the streets to buy food or toilet paper.<br />The Soviet Union had the same problem as a Socialist country, many days when old Pravdas were to be used instead of Charmin.<br />Solutions: Develop food sources so strong you can export. Develop Aluminum sales. Market heavy oil as Diesel and Lubricants. Work a partnership with Exxon to mix the fuels. Get more people to work. But first Get Rid of the Corrupt leaders.<br /><br />Gary K.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
