What’s sad is the unemployed, in their 50s and 60s, who were willing and needed to work, because of high debt and low saving, were unable to find decent jobs. So, they chose Social Security and Disability benefits, after their Unemployment benefits ran out.

Five years into the recoverless recovery, workers remain unwilling to give up decent paying jobs.

Also, I think, you’ll find compared to other recoveries, real GDP growth has been stronger than employment growth, although both have been weak, which means the employed labor force has been working harder in this recovery compared to prior recoveries.

Peer-Reviewed Survey Finds Majority Of Scientists Skeptical Of Global Warming Crisis
2/13/2013

“Taken together, these four skeptical groups numerically blow away the 36 percent of scientists who believe global warming is human caused and a serious concern.

1. Changes to the climate are natural, normal cycles of the Earth.” Moreover, “they strongly disagree that climate change poses any significant public risk and see no impact on their personal lives.”

2. Consider climate change to be a smaller public risk with little impact on their personal life.

3. They underscore that the ‘real’ cause of climate change is unknown as nature is forever changing and uncontrollable. Similar to the ‘nature is overwhelming’ adherents, they disagree that climate change poses any significant public risk and see no impact on their personal life.

4. These scientists “diagnose climate change as being both human- and naturally caused, posing a moderate public risk, with only slight impact on their personal life.””

My comment: With Peak Oil and the inevitable shift into alternative energy, we should let nature take its course.

Zachriel says: “Not a “majority of scientists”, but a group of scientists and engineers working in or with the petroleum industry.”

It seems, you don’t believe it was poor science for 36 percent of scientists to believe global warming is human caused and a serious concern.

What percent of global warming is caused by humans?

The farther back you go, the less accurate the data. So, how can you compare the data?

We don’t know how much dinosaurs had to do with the melting of the ice caps.
