International Trade and International Shipping

Is the United Nation's International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) safe for our global economy, economic trade, and peace in the world? Sometimes I do wonder. If we try to stop all the CO2 emissions in the world from trucks, trains, ships, and planes how can we get the needed supplies around the world to help humanity prosper and enjoy the abundance of our endeavors and live our life experiences to the fullest possible? It seems the IPCC's agenda and targets to reduce emissions of CO2 may conflict with life on Earth, specifically human life. Let me explain as this issue recently came up at our think tank and we spent hours trying to justify the IPCC's recommendations from their COP21 global meeting.

The IPCC has identified "international trade" and "International Shipping" as big CO2 emission problems - some suggest that we need to stop such things or impose huge taxes (wonder what the IPCC will do with those?) to stop the increase in trade. Essentially shutting down "emerging markets" and nations on their way up and severely punishing and taxing high-output or the most efficient nations. If this occurs, then shipments of food stuff will cause more civil unrest and deaths than all the previous human wars combined, and that is not even a stretch of the imagination as one of the potential outcomes to these UN do-gooders paving humankind's road to hell.

Do you doubt the severity of a rev-limiter on global shipping being proposed by the IPCC? Well, here is the reference: IPCC "International Transportation Forum COP21 - pdf handout.

Can you imagine the ports in the world shipping at half-mast? Can you imagine the companies laying-off people as they could not deliver their goods to foreign customers? Could you imagine the price increases of everything you buy if it had to be made in the region where you live? There would be many types of produce and agricultural products you may not ever see again, as they just don't grow in your region and if they did they would require special greenhouses using a tremendous amount of energy.

The faulty logic of taxing shipping, aviation, rail to the point of exhaustion and then giving that money to the IPCC to supposedly solve the problem of climate change is ridiculous, and even if they thought they could do some sort of geo-engineering, would you want them to experiment with our planet when they don't even understand basic economics or the value of free-trade and capitalism? Think on this.

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
