And the climate lobby eats itself with runaway propoganda. But more interesting, the polar opposites of the climate drama seem to agree on a lot of things.

Fascinating that the Doomers and Denialists both seem to agree that it is not technoligaly/economicly/politically possible to INFLUENCE climate in a meaningful way through policy in the real world.

Or how about Doomers and Denialists agreeing that Society is going to collapse? One through action (costly climate initiatives), the other through inaction (eco collapse leading to societal collapse)

Does it just find "the best option"? Or does the AI spit out hundreds of combos that scientists still have to create and try?

Grift too.

This was the second largest bank failure in US history, yet, it doesn't make sense in one way or another.

"By raising the threshold from $50 billion in assets to $250 billion, medium-size banks were exempted from those regulations."

Is this just a medium sized bank failing? Everyone seems to think the sky is on fire.

Alcohol, China e-shop, and furniture were my ads.

But I got a video of the impact as well, maybe you missed?

Are they really blaming melting glaciers on "heat waves" that reach -10c? Cause it almost sounds like they are trying to say the artic is melting due to freezing temperatures.

And how about the "experts" who describe weather events as impossible and inconceivable?

"At Dome C, the easterly apex of the sloping ice sheet, European researchers from the Concordia base staged a photo in swimwear under blow-up palm trees. The -10.1C (13.8F) temperature on March 18 was 38.5C (69.3F) higher than average, the biggest rise above normal observed by any weather station in history. Antarctica experts described the heat wave as "impossible", even "inconceivable".

Or not. Humans have gone from 320 to 420 ppm carbon dioxide in from 1960 to 2020. This useless model pulls out all the stops to justify its existence, including a 1500+ ppm increase in C02. Lmao! Clowns.

"Under this worst-case scenario, atmospheric CO2 concentrations increase to 1962 ppm by the year 2250"

Or how about their definition of "historical record"?

“This model simulates a carbon cycle in the atmosphere, ocean, and terrestrial biosphere, along with the increasing oceanic carbon uptake in agreement with historical trends (Figure 1b)."

What might this figure 1b show?

That the historical trends they talk about go from 1850 to 2020, but really from 1960-2020 if you look at it. In other words, not historical.

But it gets worse. If you look at figure 1b, you can see that actual observations only cover the period from 1980-2020, and the fit line is clearly tortured. Sure, they modeled 170 years and claim it fits the historical record. But they only used 40 years of "historical record", and even that to a layman is highly suspect.

In 1980, there is far more uptake of C02 than the model suggests, and by 2020, there is less C02 uptake than the model suggests.

So yeah, garbage study using 40 years of data that clearly doesn't fit the model and using a ppm of almost 5x what we have now.

Also, ocean accounts for 30% of C02 uptake, and this says it may decrease 1/3rd under the worst circumstances. This means the earth could lose 10% overall (not really!) of its carbon uptake ability.

But that 10% could be offset by a 14% increase in land biomass C02 uptake.

Pop quiz: how much more carbon does earth's land sequester if the C02 in the atmosphere increases 450%??

These articles are fun. Just don't take them too serious. On the one hand, the place is on fire, on the other, some newb can do the job of 20 people.

"Twitter's layoffs have resulted in an extensive reorganization of remaining workers, the engineer told the BBC. He said that one "totally new" staff member without expertise was now doing a job that used to be done by more than 20 people. The New York Times previously reported that some junior employees have been left in charge of areas they haven't worked on before."

America wasn't waging covert war against Russian infrastructure in 2015.

Timeline is not relevent to current political war situation.

Squirrel damage is limited to a short out.

Human damage can break many many obscure parts with a single bomb.

Not even remotely close comparison in terms of damage.

This guy lefts thousands without power for days. Squirrels don't do that.

So he is a "Russian Sleeper", and he got caught. The war is real, and it is here. Covert operations in Russia and in USA are covered up, as shown here.

Terrorists don't get credit. They get downplayed.

And yet it is. But not the way you think. It's all about elite groupthink. They have drinks and talk stuff over and turn their noses up at each other until they are on the same page as to what is desirable and then judge each other based on these elitist social goals and who can achieve them and cement their names immortal.

And anyone that gets in the way.... Fired, defunded, shunned, labeled conspiracy theorist etc.

And just you wait. The money isn't flowing yet, but it will. For a city of a million people, maybe buying 8-10 councillors for $100,000 each will accomplish any goal. And noone cares enough about city politics to stop that kind of thing.

And what if governments are always spouting nonsense and implementing it because they have nothing better to do?

I don't know these as 15 minute cities, I know these as anti-urban sprawl, pro-environment, anti-car neighborhoods. And the push has been on for over a decade to make this happen.

Now that it's here, it's worse than thought. It's not just planning these things and letting people live and work close to home or not. It's more of a forcing function where the entire system is built as a turn-key totalitarian physical prison.

Only a fool would buy into this. And yet the places where these decisions are made (city council), nobody cares about and big money will pour in.

It only takes 6 figures in a 5 figure race to buy a couple seats and implement radical environmental anti-human policy.

Was wondering more about the laws the courts have passed that have brought the country to this point.

As for the still raging war of 1948, this chapter is just more typical Israeli-Palestinian conflict. One side kills, the other side kills. Israel wins because Palestine is a nothing state that doesn't understand they lost the war 70 years ago, and Israel has had the upper hand ever since. Palestinian kills someone, Jews kill back. Problem is it can never be proportional. Only Jewish woman can have Jewish babies. Muslim men and woman can have Muslim children.

This showdown between non-expansionist and hyper expansionist birthing means Israel will never play 1 for 1. Otherwise, it just takes 20 million dead Muslims for 20 million dead Jews and the game is over.
