EPA CO2 regulations would reduce global temps by only 0.0037C. Unless all the other countries cut emissions too it's pointless.
This is also the reason why I never vote.
Think about it - it takes me an hour to get to the nearest polling station and another hour to get back again, costing me both time and fuel. Considering that money and effort makes a contribution to the tea party of just 0.0001% of the vote, what's the point?
Republicans will also be wise enough not to bother voting for the same reason. Democrats are of course too stupid to understand statistics and they'll flock to the polls thinking their 0.0001% will make any difference.

Mr Depot as usual for all you denier types you resort to bluring the mirror by using little understood percentages instead of maths , PPM, people per million, What is 100% of 100% you ask me? why do you ask that , what point is there to your question?
ReplyDeleteTo put this into some relevance , .0001% is you, mr depot tries to make out that you do not exist the same as they try to insist that weather does not exist, well i do and it does and we will so there
Dear prof Inferno,
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid you got the figure 0.0001% completely wrong. There are 1,330,044,605 people in China, so each American voter only has 0.000000075% of the vote.
Thankfully for the economy and the greater cause of corporate and personal freedom, all efforts to fix "global warming" would be doomed to fail anyways. If you look at the contributions of each small country's or each state/province/city's efforts to reduce SCAGW* you will see that in each case the overall reduction in GHGs will be very, very small in percentage terms, appearing to the public to be close to zero. Anything close to zero is, in public policy terms, zero.
ReplyDeleteSo if you add together all the zeros from the SCAGW efforts by small nations and regions within larger countries, you get a great big sucking sound of nothingness. The Tea Party, the Coffee Party and the Chocolate Milk Party should be informed of this immediately, so they do not waste our precious corporate profits and quadrillions of taxpayers' dollars.

I haf a voting booth nearby and it's a good excuse for the employer. I usually select a candidate who in no way can get elected, since the democarcy sucks anyway, the foedalistic mayor of the town does hisway anyway, keeping his phone and email-records off the public, which is just right since politics is done to the service of majority of henchmen. God forebid that the poor should haf enouf money for an Uzi.
ReplyDeleteInsightful as ever Inferno. The GOP are already onto fixing this undemocratic problem where we have one man 0.0001 vote.
ReplyDeleteAs the USA is not a democracy at all but the far better constitutional republic there is an easy all American fix. Instead of the populace wasting their time the 538 most important and profitable companies will be given the vote. This will not only make things fairer but will be based a meritocracy.
Long live the United People's Democratic Republican States of America.
That's why democracy is flawed and even logically impossible. It would be much better if everybody would just accept the Laws of the Lord (to be precise, my interpretation of them) as basis for legislation!
ReplyDeleteQuite correct mr slaw all major decisions by world government must be made by the drawing of straws,

argue with that you green pagan heathen infidels ,
It is certain that each person's emissions have a completely negligible effect on the climate, so it is logically obvious that 7 billion lots of negligible effects add up to a negligible impact.
ReplyDeleteBefore I read this fine article I was a card carrying sustainability wonk but now I realise the error of my ways!
By Jove!
ReplyDeleteNick Palmer you have just proved that global warming does not exist!
Zeno proposed the paradox that nothing would happen as an infinite amount of small things would be infinite.* Good old Newton proved him wrong showing that an infinite amount of not very much is still not very much.
Case closed.
* The resolution of Zeno's paradox does not work on Big Government where a million bits of red tape does indeed add up to nothing happening.
Actually if you add up 7 billion negligible impacts surely the you'll end up with an impact that is even MORE negligible i.e. an ice age.
ReplyDeleteI went to vote yesterday, they had put the voting booth in a library! It is an OK library with Quran and Bible translations for those not speaking in languages, and I was pleased to find they let me vote as I'm somewhat irritated of those voting commercials during this pre-election time, so I'm glad I can laugh at those 'pro-democracy' ads now. We vote here abroad sometimes also.
