Love it when the manmade climate believers keep touting science, but we let these socialist economists experiment with whole countries. Socialism does not work. It is settled science. The DOJ should be prosecuting anyone who says otherwise. Anyway, doesn't seem like there is much hope for the Venezuelan people when their leading economic advisor's mentor is Chavez.

CARACAS, VenezuelaPresident Nicolás Maduro, hoping for an economic miracle to salvage his country, has placed his trust in an obscure Marxist professor from Spain who holds so much sway the president calls him the Jesus Christ of economics.

Alfredo Serranoa 40-year-old economist whose long hair and beard have also elicited the presidents comparison to Jesushas become the central economic adviser to Mr. Maduro, according to a number of officials in the ruling United Socialist Party and other government consultants. His rise has come at the expense of advisers who, though also leftist, have urged the president to undertake more conventional steps to address Venezuelas dysfunctional economy, such as liberalizing the countrys tightly controlled currency, these people say.

Apparently, no one wants to comment on another example of a failure of socialism. Surprise surprise. Too bad for the people of Venezuela, I guess man-made global warming is more important. Btw, I am in Siberia, and it is currently 12C on August 10th.

Which part of Siberia are you in? When you say 12C at what time of day is that? Enjoy your holidays!

12°C = 53.6°F

According to the quote below 12C is an average temp for this time of year in Siberia. Not sure how that relates to global warming, but it's certainly not any colder or warmer than normal.

Summer

Summers in Siberia often see significantly warmer temperatures than the cold winters, leading to the melting of the winter snows. May sees temperatures rise above freezing, averaging 44 degrees in Yakutsk and 37 degrees in Verhojansk. During July, the warmest month for most of Siberia, visitors are typically able to shed most of their cold weather gear and enjoy average temperatures of 64 degrees in Yakutsk and 59 degrees in Verhojansk, with little risk of the temperature dropping below freezing.

Hey. Bill brought up Siberia, no me.

I'll take medical advice from a professional, but thanks for the concern.
