Re: the meme here, a reader motes: This climate meeting was all about fossil fuel strategies and alliances to wipe out renewable energy.
There is no doubt that this was the focus on the part of Big Oil. Looks at from that perspective, the “justification” is clear: show the world the fossil energy is here to stay, and that, as they say in science fiction, “resistance is futile.”
Their problem, of course, is that the costs of solar and wind continue to come down, and that the power of pure market forces will eventually make energy from oil, gas and coal, prohibitively expensive.
Precisely what this planet will be like at that point is impossible to determine, as is the prognosis for keeping temperature rises to a workable level.

In their ad, the folks offering “The Most Complete Periodic Table Ever” claim that, if your kid is struggling with chemistry, she can improve with this product, which is essentially tons of useless information.
Who discovered molybdenum? In what year? What is its market value?
We are a society in which our facility with science is now in free-fall. If you think that blunting whatever may remain of your child’s natural curiosity with crap like this a good idea, here’s where to shop.
Poor and working-class Americans are struggling with the current economy.
The MAGA base must be going insane. Trump’s telling them that the economy is great while they’re paying $6/gallon of gas and $12.99 for a pound of hamburger.
Re: what comedian Bill Maher says at left: bullcrap.
The “left” would like to see the United States a) evolve into a social democracy like the countries in Northern Europe, and b) expel its authoritarian president.
Not much new here, and certainly, nothing “goofy.”
