I was pleased to see your mention of Jerry Pournelle — specially because of your adaptation of his political chart... :)
I remember reading Hofstadter's "GEB: The Golden Braid" and being enthralled. So much so that I attempted to correspond with the author about matters mathematical. He did not actually reply... But he did send me a book — a screed against Nuclear Power!
What is it, I wonder, about leftist ideology that circumvents intelligence?
I'm old enough to remember when they proposed spreading carbon black on the polar regions to prevent the looming ice age. Then they switched to warming. Now it's "climate change", so they are covered either way. Nobody else here sees this?
AGW is classic Hegelian problem>reaction>solution mind control.
perhaps methanal might be the best short term plan. you certainly gave it a great sell! 8-)
personally, i'm thinking it won't matter all that much because i'll be surprised if everything doesn't collapse before any such technological remedies are made available. to put it bluntly, i don't believe there is even enough time for a "short term plan".
while some apparent recent advances in fusion have occurred, and how i've been longing for "Mr. Fusion" ever since its concept was made privy to me in the movie Back to the Future, i'm thinking that the ONLY means of mechanical movement which might be available when everything collapses and possible EMPs (natural or manmade) take out everything with electronics, mechanical steam engines which can run on ANYTHING burnable are going to be the #1 solution for transportation and power in our very near future.
this is a very good interview, worthy of watching in its entirety. with regard to our discussion about Climate-gate, please pick it up around the 49 minute mark or so and listen through around the 55 minute mark. Dr. Bush advances a completely different possible cause i've never heard before which is also worthy of consideration.
regardless of all opinions on the subject — "opinions", because no one can trust the so called "science" — it very well could be that there are several causes for climate fluctuations: deliberate geo-engineering, "inadvertent" geo-engineering (my label for what Dr. Bush advances), and whatever amount of CO2 gases have tipped the scale (according to the so called "experts").
anyone that asserts there can be ONLY ONE contributor to the problem (if it even IS a problem) is pushing religion, not science... just as with the PLANdemic. ;-)
I would argue that getting rid of zoning, or at least making it way, way more logical, would be about the greenest (in a good way) thing you could do for the United States.
I have some bad news for you. The UK conservatives tried to triangulate on the Green issue over a decade ago. That's how they went from the party of Margret Thatcher to the WEF puppets we know them as today.

Are we still pretending AGW as a real thing?

Funny you didn't mention Chesterton :)
