OK, if the scientific method is a tool of western cis-white-privilege, how will the case to fight global warming be made? And wouldn’t proposed solutions therefore be thinly veiled ways to further ensconce that privilege? Throttling economic development, localism, banning of gas and conventional fuels, etc. will all hurt people who have yet to experience the kind of economic growth and development that much of the world enjoys. If cause and effect are a problem, how do we do climate attribution?

•WHEREAS, despite this, the State has not made proportional or even significant investments to build the necessary infrastructure to support these numbers, leading to an artificially high rate of degradation to the Forest Preserve;

•WHEREAS, the State has further neglected to provide sufficient resources to build sustainable and hardened trails in order to lessen human impact and mitigate the effects of erosion on trails in the Adirondack High Peaks Wilderness;

•WHEREAS, the State has also neglected to right-size the forest ranger force in order to educate the public about how best to protect the resource and responsibly enjoy the Forest Preserve;

•Whereas, the State has not provided sufficient funding for educational outreach or has yet implemented the recommendations of the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics,i

•WHEREAS, ADK recognizes that limits on the total number of recreational users ina certain area is an important control measure to be considered by DEC, when, where, and if high use is causing significant damage to front country and back country resources;

•WHEREAS, these measures should only be employed if there are reasonable grounds to believe that they will prevent or limit degradation of the resource;

•WHEREAS, the DEC does not currently collect and maintain comprehensive objective user data to help assess thresholdsfor capacity and to inform where investments should be made to mitigate high use and whether efforts to spread users out throughout the park are successful;

•THEREFORE, it is the position of the Adirondack Mountain Club, that before the state seeks to impose restraints on the freedom of the public to use and enjoy the Forest Preserve, such as a permit system, it must first make the appropriate investments to mitigate the effects on the resource by educating the public, increasing the Forest Ranger Force, building sustainable trails, facilitate the spread of use throughout the forest preserve, and make determinations of high use based on the ongoing collection of objective data.

My family came to the United States starting 100 years ago from this tiny Adriatic seaside town in southeastern Italy.

If you don’t have time to read Taubman’s excellent biography, this fantastic interview/documentary from Werner Herzog is a must watch.

  • His support of socialism was really in the realm of “Economics 3.0” where we have a “Crisis” of abundance. Either that is is untoward to simply produce massive amounts of stuff for the sake of it, or that the problems in a future of abundance really are ones of distribution – this is something that our traditional economics texts have not really grappled well with.
  • He was relationship driven
  • His contempt (and his contemporaries’ contempt) for the lust of current political class is palpable and spot on
  • His contempt for nuclear weapons and his concerns about the End of Civilization are sobering and need an airing. regularly

Much more in it. Definitely worth your consideration.

Simply buying all of the coal that is in the ground would be fantastically less expensive than almost any climate solution, and respect the property rights of companies and sectors that have invested for many decades in that sector. It would avoid the bounceback problems vis-à-vis carbon taxes and other demand limiting ideas (or the problems of carbon demand inelasticity), it would promise human health cobenefits that very likely exceed any climate benefits from carbon reduction, it involves far fewer parties and moving parts than other climate change solutions, it requires no new technologies in order to be rolled out, it poses no direct risk, and it can be implemented in an extremely short time frame. (Most of this would also apply to nuclear power). If climate change is truly the existential threat that we worry that it is, why have you probably never even heard of this proposal, or certainly seen it advanced seriously?

Some simple math. The US burns ~ 1 billion tons of coal per year. Retail price ~ $40 per ton. So, “we” could buy every bit of coal for $40B per year, and just not burn it. That’s chump change when our inefficient tax system alone destroys over a trillion of wealth each year. We could buy out the coal companies, if you think the coal is worth this much, for about $1 trillion total. Just compare that to what the candidates for Looter in Chief are proposing to spend as they campaign for the 2024 selection. The Mayor is proposing like $6 trillion in extra spending (how’s that for “moderate” these days?).

Buy the coal.

Today I reprint a slightly edited piece I put together several years ago. I’d change a lot of it, from the content to the tone, if I were to do it over – but one must live with one’s younger self. Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Four centuries after the celebration of the first Thanksgiving, there is still widespread disagreement about the reason for the Pilgrims’ feast. But whether it was a harvest festival, a strictly religious observance, or a thank you to the local Wampanoag Indians, such a feast would not even have been possible were it not for the abandonment of the utopian ideas the Pilgrims laid out in the original Mayflower Compact.

Imagine a world where the earnings you generate from teaching, or nursing, or tending your orchard, from working the cash register, or mowing some lawns – all of the fruits of your efforts went into a common pool. Imagine further that each of your friends and neighbors, and every stranger in Monroe County was entitled to an equal share of what was placed into the kitty. It didn’t matter whether you mowed 20 lawns per day or one, whether you treated 30 patients per day or none, whether you taught 50 students per day or none – you received the same “income” as everyone else in the community. Imagine further that your home was owned in common by all in your community and that rearing your neighbor’s children was as much your responsibility as anyone else’s.

You need only look at the cleanliness of your office fridge or the condition of a public bathroom for a glimpse into the horrors of such collectivism. People suffered, starved and perished. Governor Bradford wrote in his diary, “For this community (so far as it was) was found to breed much confusion and discontent, and retard much employment that would have been to their benefit and comfort. For young men that were most able and fit for labor and service did repine that they should spend their time and strength to work for other men’s wives and children without any recompense … that was thought injustice.”

Most shocking perhaps is that this injustice generated penury, jealousy and sloth in a society comprised entirely of (self-professed) holy people, each with a common cause, each from a similar background, and in a community with less than 200 settlers. The lessons for a society comprised of people of varying degrees of “saintliness”, with differing interests and backgrounds, and hundreds of millions in size should be obvious.

Confronting the disaster of collectivism, Plymouth’s elders wisely “resorted” to a system of private property and free exchange. Bradford wrote of the reforms, “… it made all hands very industrious, so as much more corn was planted than otherwise would have been. The women now went willingly into the field, and took their little ones with them to set corn; which before would allege weakness and inability; whom to have compelled would have been thought great tyranny and oppression…By this time harvest was come, and instead of famine, now God gave them plenty, and the faces of things were changed, to the rejoicing of the hearts of many, for which they blessed God.”

I doubt many Pilgrims themselves properly understood the nature of their original problem, nor its solution – which is why I doubt that the first Thanksgiving was a celebration of liberty and private property. While they might have thanked Providence and luck for the bounties that followed the change in property institutions in 1623, it was only their industry, thrift and discipline in response to the formation of private property institutions that such a feast was even possible. For a truly detailed and incredible account not only of the first Thanksgiving, but of the sad and incredible struggle the local Indian tribes had with their new European neighbors, I cannot recommend more highly Nathaniel Philbrick’s book, Mayflower in large part because of its telling of the largely forgotten yet historically important King Phillip’s War.

I am blessed to have a healthy family, the ability to have completed my formal education, and the discipline to work hard with the lot I was given in life. Providence and luck has been kind to me. I give thanks to that every single day of my life. But on this day, this 398th renewal of Thanksgiving Day, as many in our nation clamor to gallop anew down a 21st century style collectivist path (health care for everyone, financial bailouts, auto bailouts, fairer taxes, public/government schools, managed trade, green-collar subsidies, farm subsidies, licensing restrictions, “living wages”, public-private (i.e. cronyist) partnerships and more) littered with the tragedies of hundreds of failed experiments before us, let us remember what made the first Thanksgiving possible, and what has made our modern prosperity possible.he productive efforts of billions of individuals past and present who unknowingly cooperate each and every day in an effort to improve their own lots, have bestowed upon us a gift even greater than the yams, apples, turkeys, wheat, and other resources that we were naturally endowed with. Just how large a gift have they given to each of us? Imagine yourself alone in the New England wilderness on a cold and wet November day 500 years ago. The difference between the “fire roasted” yam you might conjure up with days of immiserating work in 1516 and the majestic spread set out before you today in 2024 is but a glimpse of the bounty that liberty and property have bestowed upon us. Let us hope that the light of liberty remains lit, so that we may see our way through harsh and brutal winters that might lie ahead.

The city of Jakarta is sinking quite rapidly because of land subsidence (they are removing tons of groundwater).  It is reported that the Northern part of the city has sunk … eight feet … in just the past decade.

Why?

Largely because city residents freely pump groundwater, causing the land that sits above it to subside.

美国节点加速器

No one owns the groundwater, and the city officials seemed to have done a poor job providing water to residents from other sources, despite hte abundance of water in the area.

So, the city is considering all kinds of emergency options to deal with this – including the possibility of relocating the capital to another city.

But this is the year 2024, so when I opened my news up this morning, I didn’t just get to read the article describing the problem in Indonesia (link here), I got this:

全球加速节点日本

Folks, this has almost zero to do with climate change, and here we have reporters tweeting out to thousands of likes, “Good morning, welcome to climate change.”  Now I think one can put a charitable interpretation on the tweet – which would be something like, “The problem in Jakarta has nothing to do with climate change, but the fact that the city is rapidly going underwater illustrates the problems faced by cities who are threatened by rising sea levels,” or something to that effect.  I think that is still possible to deliver that message in 280 characters.

Much more to say. But suppose this IS what we see when climate change gets bad (remember the city is sinking in parts by up to 8 feet, climate change scenarios are expected to raise sea levels here by 9 inches to 12 inches over a century), note that the city is already beginning to adapt, and relocate … what is the implication of this response for the long term impacts of climate change?

Would You, For $3 Trillion?

My back of the envelope guess of what the market value of the top 10 oil companies in the world, and all of the coal producers in the world, is about $3 trillion.

If climate change is the worst thing to ever face humanity, and we are opposed to nuclear and we don’t think we can scale up wind and solar in any meaningful way to get us where we need to go, who is on board for buying every last one of the coal companies, and all of the largest oil companies, and then just sitting on the reserves forever?

Maybe I am two days late to be having these thoughts?
