Poor Noam looks so tired lately, especially since his wonderful wife passed away. Please keep fighting Noam!

[tuntitommosille]

Damn, he looks so frail in this one. Come on Noam, the world can't afford to lose you! There's noone to step in your shoes.

The climate change "believers" are reling upon models that have been repeatedly shown to be be flawed. Expect energy to be unreliable, and the costs will skyrocket. It takes years to build a power plant, and we are already at capacity in most areas. The EPA has also targeted the peat bogs for shut-down. The response is a massive spike in fuel costs to support a disproven theory of climate change.

@AndrewMann552 Well he's still going strong. yay!

The idiotic questions (loud)-contrasted on so many 'levels' with the frail delicate wisdom. Has 40 years of pretentious self admiring media or journalism 'studies' -arrived at it's zenith here. I stayed with this visual/aural offering for as long -as I could tolerate-or as Noam might say -as long as I could "so that I can gain what (partial) understanding I may want" Maurice Aherne google - mosaherne

[liebewitz1]

If one (or more) has the opportunity to interview a 'unique mind' ...coud they perhaps have the 'sound levels' right.

-re infra comment F. A' Toole would like to be referenced by such an 'immortal' mortal-I'd guess.



[Sirstingray]

I've got a feeling that Fintan O'Toole might enjoy being referenced by this guy...

[dazpatreg]

Oh my God, this man has a more intimate knowledge of our economic and social problems than the VAST majority of our political 'experts'! Gra mo chroi noam!

[ShamrocksGetYouHigh]

Love this guy.

@bfoaliali Yep, later videos through 2011 he looks and seems fine. I assume the poor man was grieving around the time.
