This must be why futurecurrents thought we were the same person, LOL.

I think the reforms that Greece needs most are the ones that would make it more friendly to business. In that direction, they have a long way to go and really haven't started very far. And of course electing a left/wing socialist government to solve a problem that is largely caused by an...

There's another facet to this, and that is that Germany and Greece (for now) share the same currency. And there's an economic effect between exporting industries that use the same currency. It's obvious that the imports of a country compete with one another. That is, if Japan imports more oil...

The more I look at this, the more I'm convinced that Greece is doomed. Not only do they have to leave the Euro, but that's not going to help their economy. I don't think their worst problem is corruption. I think it's that their country is simply unfriendly to business. So using the Euro meant...

Waaaaaay over trading. This is basically a form of gambling. Even if you have an edge, trading that large becomes gambling because of the "gambler's ruin" problem. You need to learn "money management". The basic point is that it's not "return on capital" that keeps people trading. It's "return...

Maybe that 8587.50 was a late print. (Or one that is a little early, LOL.) No realistically, I suppose their volume is up and that leads to little problems.

And if your aunt had testicles she'd be your uncle. Well, maybe not anymore, LOL. But she's not an option trader. She's a climate scientist. And by changing the subject to risk, you're basically admitting the point of my post to futurecurrents, that indeed, there does exist a publishing...

Sure. Judith Curry is a publishing climatologist. She has about 200 publications most recently in 2014. She's a professor at the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Georgia Institute of Technology where she was the chair of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences from 2002-2014. You want a...

Like I've said before, this is the politics and religion forum, not the "science" forum. But it's hard to argue that the best minds in science work in climate. If you're going to put climate science up to a vote of course you need to prevent people with a vested interest from voting on it. That...

I hate to risk diverting the thread away from the entertaining personal attacks, but I'm wondering what the people here think will be happening in Greece. I'm guessing that they will be forced out by bank problems and will return to the drachma. And what then? It seems to be repeated over and...

In the US, in general, the loser does not pay. There are exceptions. You can google it. For example, here's the wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_rule_%28attorney%27s_fees%29 The losing side does not ordinarily have to pay the winning side's attorney's fees, contrary to...

I thought that "loser pays" is a UK policy. It certainly isn't in the US. Seems like a good idea. Jarndyce v. Jarndyce and all that I guess.

Wind, hydro, solar and nuclear make electricity. From electricity you can get all sorts of things including imitation fossil fuels. The problem is that the conversion is not very efficient. Hydrogen is easy and fairly efficient to make but difficult to store and move around. Here's your buddy's...

LOL! A person would have to be completely enumerate to believe this. The basic problem is crossing oceans. Trains are already quite efficient on land and do not require the concentrated fuels that are needed to power aircraft. The reasonable solutions for crossing oceans without fossil fuels...

God is mute for pretty much the same reason you don't communicate with the individual cells in your body. You don't have to. They do your bidding for you whether they believe in "you" or not. If they want to have some little customs that's okay, so long as the work gets done. And God has lots...

LOL!!! This story is pretty good evidence that the environmental whack jobs aren't running some secretly organized campaign to destroy industry. Instead, they're individual whack jobs. No organization would put out a report like the above while simultaneously reports like this one are out: Too...

Russia is being badly hurt by low oil prices. This was entirely foreseeable if you realize that the US controls oil prices (with the help of Saudi Arabia) in order to improve its position against China and Russia. China gets hurt by high oil prices, Russia by low. Most recently, this is why oil...

This forum is supposed to be about politics and religion. You keep wanting to talk about science. Okay. The primary modern scientific opposition to the concept that the majority of global warming is caused by CO2 is probably the argument that global warming is primarily caused by sun activity...

But I don't deny that man made global warming is real. That's not the subject of debate. The subject of debate is whether government should intervene in the free markets in order to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. And for that, the questions are the following: (1) How much of global warming is...
