• Trump Event This Morning - Zaps Cal Gas-Car Ban AND Offers Support to M

    First off, Trump signed three XOs that effectively
    destroy the California plan to ban sales (likely
    eventually ownership) of gasoline/diesel vehicles.
    This got high support from those in the auto biz
    and, surely, a lot of Californians suffering from
    "green bullying".

    If you WANT an EV or hybrid ... go ahead and buy
    one. It's just that you won't HAVE to buy one of
    expensive pieces of shit.

    However in later comments to the press, Trump said
    he was planning to do something for industries that
    employ rather a lot of (oft illegal) workers. This
    is especially the ag industry, but there are some
    others. In many cases the workers have been there
    for many years and make up a fat segment of the
    work force.

    In short, those workers are going to get some kind
    of special status and maybe expedited path to
    green cards or similar.

    Trump said this was better than deporting them all,
    crippling those industries, and then have them
    re-hire mystery people provided by the cartels.

    No, not enough native-born to fill, or who WILL
    fill, that labor niche. It's a case where reality
    has to over-ride political theory.

    Calling a little child forward, he had him stand among them. Then
    he said, 'I tell all of you with certainty, unless you change and
    become like little children, you will never get into the kingdom
    from[ heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself as this little
    child is the greatest in the kingdom from heaven.'

    So much for the Trump claim that
    these people are "poisoning our blood".

    He in fact likes immigrant labor.

    As long as they labor for HIM.

    CO2 is plant food, you <redacted>.

    <https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/ask-the-experts-does-rising-co2-benefit-plants1/>

    So is it true rising atmospheric CO2 will help plants, including food
    crops? Scientific American asked several experts to talk about the science
    behind this question.

    There is a kernel of truth in this argument, experts say, based on what
    scientists call the CO2 fertilization effect. “CO2 is essential for
    photosynthesis,” says Richard Norby, a corporate research fellow in the
    Environmental Sciences Division and Climate Change Science Institute of Oak
    Ridge National Laboratory. “If you isolate a leaf [in a laboratory] and you
    increase the level of CO2, photosynthesis will increase. That’s well
    established.” But Norby notes the results scientists produce in labs are
    generally not what happens in the vastly more complex world outside; many
    other factors are involved in plant growth in untended forests, fields and
    other ecosystems. For example, “nitrogen is often in short enough supply
    that it’s the primary controller of how much biomass is produced” in an
    ecosystem, he says. “If nitrogen is limited, the benefit of the CO2
    increase is limited…. You can’t just look at CO2, because the overall
    context really matters.”

    . . .

    In addition to ignoring the long-term outlook, he says, many skeptics also
    fail to mention the potentially most harmful outcome of rising atmospheric
    CO2 on vegetation: climate change itself. Its negative consequences—such as
    drought andheat stress—would likely overwhelm any direct benefits that
    rising CO2 might offer plant life. “It’s not appropriate to look at the CO2
    fertilization effect in isolation,” he says. “You can have positive and
    negative things going at once, and it’s the net balance that matters.” So
    although there is a basic truth to skeptics’ claim, he says, “what’s
    missing from that argument is that it’s not the whole picture.”

    Very good ! :-)

    However available nitrogen IS a clamp on plant growth.

    CO2 is sort-of plant food, but only ONE of a variety
    of nutrients.

    As for GW ... after the dinos there was a period where
    the planet was warm enough so there were basically
    rain forests pole to pole. All life did not end,
    indeed the environment spawned considerable diversity.
    A warmer world will be bad in some places, nicer in
    some other places - the usual mixed bag.

    Keeping in mind that the dominant lifeform became extinct.


    The Earth froze completely when plans took too much carbon

    up enough carbon dioxide to thaw the planet.

    I get the planet goes to changes beyond our control. That is no
