  • Ruminations – 28oct15 (updated 31oct15)

    George Rebane The assumed level of perceived risk in competitive markets is constant.  When governments alleviate known risks, added unknown risks will be assumed to maintain the balance – profit demands it. Obama’s economy continues to scoot along on its butt.  Seven years on and we have finally achieved the steady state snail-paced GDP and…

  • Central Planning Fest – preparing our minds

    George Rebane To control a modern society, gain control of its connectivity. The upcoming Paris conference on preventable global warming (PGW) would be laughable if it didn’t serve as a cover for some pretty draconian public policy plans.  I was reminded of this by yesterday morning’s emails and some contributions to The Union’s op-ed pages. …

  • The Liberal Mind – Climate Skeptical Debates are Unworthy and Should be Censored (updated 11oct15)

    George Rebane The more tightly ANY system is coupled, the more likely its performance is paced by its weakest and/or its most stupid members.  Mother Nature In the 10oct15 Union there is an opinion piece that perfectly, nay, iconically reveals the liberal mind.  ‘Let’s Have a Worthy Debate’ by local politician Heidi Hall and much…

  • Cap & Trade, a tax by any other name …

    George Rebane Liberty is not free, and efforts to make it appear so inevitably lead to tyranny. Mr Steven Frisch, who frequently shares his thoughts on these pages, has written an eloquent opinion piece in the 8oct15 Union in which he argues for compliant submission to California’s carbon cap and trade (C&T) program that became law…

  • Ruminations – 28sep15 (updated 2oct15)

    George Rebane The short term market is certifiably insane.  Yellen will not be able to avoid a rate raise forever, we all know that.  And yes, the centrally planned Chinese economy has predictably blown a tire (progressives call your office), but some people still believe that they are smart/lucky enough to bail just before Yellen…

  • The ‘Climate Change’ pot bubbles

    George Rebane This little update is primarily to continue the record of recent columns, commentraries, comments, and other contributions to the bubbling pot of preventable global warming (PGW).  As documented in these pages, I wrote a response to a Union piece by a couple of physicians making the usual outlandish claims for the existence of PGW,…

  • Scattershots – 25sep15 (updated)

    George Rebane Cheri West, senior aide of Assemblyman Brian Dahle, has declared her candidacy for the District #1 supervisorial slot that will be vacated by Nate Beason next year.  Jo Ann and I only know of her, but don’t know her personally.  She sounds like a worthy candidate to oppose Heidi Hall, her very progressive…

  • National Dumbth Polarizes Us

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 16 September 2015.] Those who pay attention know that today we are a divided and divisive nation.  And we can’t blame it all on the usual partisanship that makes its appearance during election seasons, which always serve to pour salt into already…

  • The Left’s Climate Scientists on Parade (updated 11sep15)

    George Rebane It is clear the Left’s “climate scientists” can be anyone with the politically correct attitude toward AGW.  It is a different matter for the AGW skeptics, their bona fides must include a degree in climatology for openers, else they are dismissed as not qualified to speak on the issue of anthropogenic global warming. …
