Eric, have you looked at all of the information on Rutan's web site?http://tinyurl.com/pfy9tk
The silence is almost deafening.
Rutan has an immense measure of credibility. *He has spent his career
analyzing and making sense of large quantities of often conflicting
data. *History has shown that he is very, very good at it. *He also
has nothing, at least financial, to gain one way or the other.
It's amazing that all the 'scientific' climate deniers have zero
credibility as climatologists.
My leading aeronautical engineering hero is Kelly Johnson of
Lockheed. *Jack Northrop and "Dutch" Kindelburger make the list too -
Burt Rutan doesn't.
Yeah, Rutan is a real lightweight with no significant scientific
accomplishments. He's certainly no rocket scientist. So let's all
just accept, without question, the clearly non-political Carbon Tax
legislation when it comes.
I wonder what the reaction of "just plain folk" will be when they
start getting billed by the feds for their excess "carbon footprint"
whenever their monthly electricity consumption exceeds the mandated
limit. Or their meat consumption is in excess. Or their gasoline use
exceeds allowable limits. Or.... (fill in the many possibilities).
Can you say $150 tow...
