ExxonMobil plans to begin producing lithium in 2027 in a major
strategic pivot, as the biggest western oil producer bets it can use
its expertise in drilling and processing to become a leading player
in the battery metal.
According to the Republican party, Americans will never learn how to make electric vehicles because they're not smart like the Chinese so it's a waste of time mining lithium when all we need is firewood, whale oil and coal.

[On objectivity:]
[3 studies say ~97% of scientists agree on AGW].
They all come up with flawed methodologies. So we don't pay any attention to that. We know that there are a whole host of scientists out there who have a different point of view, who are highly respected, reputable scientists. So
the 97 per cent doesn't mean anything in any event because science is not a consensus issue. Science is whatever the science is and the fact remains
there is no empirical evidence to show that man-made CO2, man-made emissions are adding to the temperature on earth. We haven't had any measurable
increase in temperature on earth for the last 17.5 years. If you look back
over history, there's no evidence that CO2 has driven the climate either. So
I know that this is a view which is peddled consistently, but I think that
the edifice which is the climate change establishment is now starting to
look rather shaky because mother nature is not complying.

Obese kids don't view themselves as overweight, says CDC report
Tech Times, 23 Jul 2014 14:02Z
A good number of children who are overweight and obese have a misconception regarding their weight, claims new CDC data. That doesn't bode well for
getting children to adopt healthier lifestyles, say researchers.
It sounds simple, but there is a catch.
An inconsistent theory can prove it own consistency.
I call con(T) the Axiom of Denial.
It allows us to simply deny a contradiction exists.
