Great to see more knowledgeable public figures speaking out. You don't need to be a climatologist or a rocket scientist to see that man caused global warming is a blatant scam.

Rutan absolutely has it pegged.

@usmarine519 Carbon *dioxide* is plant food. Catch is, if there aren't enough plants to "eat" the "food", where does it go?

@HDaviator

Technology cannot prevent clouds passing in front of the sun, make the sun shine in peak demand periods and prevent fluctuations in wind. The cost of power storage makes a ridiculously expensive technology a complete farce.

We have coal for at least the next 400 years.

@sydneydoc

That's the technology we have now. It can improve, but the whole process will take longer if there isn't enough demand for it. Plus, that might not be the only thing available, someone could come up with a different way to produce energy. Either way, we need to stop consuming so much oil and if global warming will get people to demand change then I am all for it, even if it is a lie. At least the end product will be positive, unlike lying to the public to support a war for example.

@HDaviator

There is no justification for "renewables" . Solar and wind are ridiculously expensive because their construction consumes more energy than they give out. Variability gives a maximum practical use of 10% total power generation. The only benefit renewables gives is to companies like GE, who promote the AGW scam.

@sydneydoc

It may be a scam, it may not. Rutan is a rocket scientist, not a climatologist, but even then it really doesn't matter. Global warming is a good excuse to get the public to switch energy sources to things that are renewable. This change will have to come sooner or later. The middle east is a war zone, the danger of oil spills etc. Even if it isn't real, I think that the switch from oil should happen and global warming is a good scare tactic.

I have watched all 6 videos.

I have great respect for Rutan and his ability to engineer and test with few resources.

That said, I find it odd that Engineers usually fail when trying to do science. The two disciplines are similar but not the same. I don't care what opinion you have of this issue. Generally, a scientist performs investigations to try to understand more about the world, an engineer takes scientific theories and principals from scientists to develops solutions to problems.

It's not an O-zone. It's ozone. Molecules consisting of 3 oxygene atoms.

Type in "bob carter" and see what he says about the subject!

[usmarine519]

@MsJaded3000 Look, its not bad to take care of the envirorment. Recycle, please, and drive your hybrid. But remeber carbon monoxcide is plant food. the more you have, the more O2 you get. The hole in the O-zone is the same as it was hundreds of years ago. And the average temp has dropped 1.4 degress in the last two years.

AWSOME!
