I find it quite amazing that you would speak like this , you do realise that if you spoke to people face to face like that you’d probably get a fat lip for your effort? You really do come across as some little stuck up fascist.
I assume you also realise that when you post such rude flames the admin of the blog, i.e. me, actually knows who your are?

And finally, the reason why you get to call everyone stupid, lament on how the media is not being smart enough when informing us, and state, without feeling the need to argument this with any actual scientific reasoning, your prediction (a shade different and a bit more vague than the dozens of other, similar predictions other great visionaries keep making) of the future and of what we (as a fucking 6 billion man entity presumably) need to do, is that you read “countless” articles on the issue.
Go fuck yourself: the climate may be changing, and CO2 levels rising does obviously have some effect on it, but there is no way for you to predict the future of the climate. Not only can you not understand the full complexity of all the variables involved (no one can), but you don’t even understand how the various, and quite diverse, computer models which are designed to simulate that complexity, are built. At best, they offer predictions which have given likelihoods, at worst, they are completely wrong.–either way, you my friend have no idea what they do, so you have no basis to decide whether they’re right or not. Leave scientific journalism to those who are qualified.
And finally, and maybe even more importantly, you have no concept of what “the bottom line” means to our lives, and you can’t even begin to figure out how to determine whether the benefits of reducing our “carbon footprint” would outweigh the costs. And since you mentioned history, historically any nation which allowed the State to run its economy to an extent that would allow it this much control, ended up watching its children die of malnutrition and cold. All because the “common good” and the big picture, as seen by idiots such as yourself, was more important than individuals and their independent, rational minds.

I was wondering the exact same thing, did a Google search for “candle co2 compared to lights” and found your post. Thanks for doing the research!

My guess is that the same person that came up with this has been working on making his “infinite energy machine” aka a generator connected to an AC motor and wondering why the thing won’t work…
