This idea in today’s Wall Street Journal talks about creating a “Red Team” to dig into the climate science debate and come up with a conclusion for the public. I call that a good system.
Systems are better than goals. A goal, in this case, might be to “Convince the public that climate change is a big problem.” That’s a clear goal, but what if it isn’t the best outcome? That’s where a system (such as forming a Red Team) comes in handy. The system will solve for credibility while informing the public of whatever comes out of the exercise.
You can’t govern better than that. Period.
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended. But it is not easy nor inexpensive to do so, especially when those who wish to prevent us from making the truth known, attack us without mercy on all fronts on a daily basis. So each time you visit the site, I would ask that you consider the value that you receive and have received from The Burning Platform and the community of which you are a vital part. I can't do it all alone, and I need your help and support to keep it alive. Please consider contributing an amount commensurate to the value that you receive from this site and community, or even by becoming a sustaining supporter through periodic contributions.

We have, for the first time, a “Systems-thinking” president. You see it in everything President Trump does. His go-to system involves lots of A-B testing of ideas, lots of negotiating, strict attention to the psychology of the situation, and pushing forward in ways that increase the odds of success. For example, the first vote on healthcare looked like a failure to “goals-thinking” people. But President Trump referred to the process yesterday as a system in which the bill keeps “getting better and better” as time goes by. And he’s right. That is exactly what we see happening.
You also see a Trump system in place to deal with North Korea. Instead of creating a goal, such as “Get rid of your nukes by Tuesday,” President Trump has created a system that links China’s future trade deals, and International standing, with their progress in solving for North Korea. That’s a good system.
You can tell that President Trump is a systems-thinker by looking at what I call his Talent Stack. He amassed an impressive set of complementary skills over his lifetime that would make him successful at almost anything he did, from hosting reality TV shows, to running for president. Notice that he is a good public speaker with a strong understanding of persuasion, politics, business strategy, and more. Add all of that to his sense of humor, his energy, his ability to endure brutal criticism, and his natural intelligence, and you have super-powerful person who can succeed in a lot of different ways.
At 2.6-2.1 billion years ago, the Earth was choking on CO2, SO2 and methane but was in it’s deepest Ice Age ever. Look at the second chart and guess what happens next: http://www.thelivingmoon.com/41pegasus/02files/Global_Warming_003.html
But, but, but Al Gore’s chart that influenced so many low informed people deleted the MWP and LIA – now that is science you can count on.
One can only hope that Trump doesn’t yet again flip on a campaign promise – the promise to pull out of the Paris COP21, or Paris Climate Accords. Sorry T-Rex, but the U.S. can ill afford to spend untold billions just to “keep a seat at the table.” Nor should the U.S. forfeit any more of its sovereignty to globalists intent upon undermining the U.S. and dictating our energy usage to us. T-Rex doesn’t really care because Exxon Mobil Corp has plenty of natural gas to sell.
Trump needs to tell his progturd daughter and son-in-law to shut their statist pie holes on this issue. It is the American taxpayer that is going to get Beeksed on this Obama shit “deal.”
We are a CARBON based system.
The animals inhale oxygen, exhale carbon.
Plants turn carbon back into oxygen.
There is not a carbon issue, and if it is, the solution is simple, create more plants. Which we need for food anyway.
What we should worry about, and stop, is the chemical rape of this planet and our children, hence the continued focus on our freaking breath. There is money to be list to these rich bastards if we were ever to focus on facts, not marketing and fear-mongering.
Systems run by the same corrupted corporations won’t fix anything, but I admire the optimistic stance.
You can be assured of one thing from this ‘red team’, that they will thoroughly examine what is the best way to make this as profitable of a solution for the people funding it. Period. The whole climate change ‘debate’ is nothing but several elites figuring out what the next scam is that can be forced in to our wallets to extract ever more of our wealth, and direct the most efficient way to their pockets.
If they want to look at reducing all of these emissions, well, lets start by stopping this ridiculous perceptual growth paradyme. Trees don’t grow to the moon. Neither do resources. Yet, we have a monetary system whose very existence requires that we can keep growing the economy for ever and not run in to a natural wall. We have more cars than people to drive them. We have more Chinese junk in the stores than could ever be needed by all of 350,000,000 people in this country, but yet we are still producing it. And Madison avenue, ironically, the same libtard fascists that want to shove this climate change down your throat, is still telling you that you should buy more….
I think I know why aliens never visit earth. They most likely look at us from afar, and consider us the downtown Detroit of the universe.

Damn, Scott. Do you take LSD and sit in front of your TV so you can imagine Trump doing all these things? You are absolutely delusional. Go draw a fucking cartoon, willya?
Think way outside the system because it is run by paid sycophants (Al Gore scientists, Alan Greenspan economists, Gen Powell officers, Obama politicians, Eric Holder bureaucrats, Bill Cosby actors, Peter Jennings reporters, Soros investors, Harpy and Virginia Nuland statesmen, Oprah Winfrey and Whoopi Goldberg social commentators; OJ Simpson, Colin Kaepernick, Tiger Woods athletes; Benny Hinn preachers, and Lloyd Blankfein banksters working for God, etc). But God says: “And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” Rev 18:4
When the head honcho at UN climate dept. says global warming is for destroying capitalism, what does that do for the validity of climate change. When the goals of the UN conference is to promote global warming agenda25-35 years ago does anybody ask why. When one of your fine govt. agencies puts out a report of 1500 pages on weather warfare, and the weaponization of weather, does anybody else say. Whaaaat!!! This same bunch tried to sell global freezing around 1970. Isn’t this the same group selling you the line to dry up the most fertile area of the world, destroy 30 dams, and turn it back into desert??? How many acres of fertile vegetation over one million acres of plants and trees going back to desert is going to produce more Co2. See DEAD HARVEST on youtube. That is agenda 21, United nations global warming at work. If Trump thinks global warming is a line of crap, maybe he resonates what some of us have seen. See also WILDLANDS PROJECT. People that gripe about carbon are either driving a Learjet to get there, or promoting a bicycle for themselves. When hasthe UN ever done anything good for Americans. Has anyone heard about smartmeters, people being harrassed for not being on the grid. Geoengineering, chemtrails, global warming environmentalism, who is behind these things and why.
