Re: Climate change and other predictions of Imminent Doom
Man I've been gone for so long, I almost forgot I still have an account here, until I saw 1+ million acres burned in....Oregon, of all places. Not California, Oregon. Oh yes, and the Blade Runner 2049 skies over San Francisco just a few days. One two punch made me remember this thread today. Similar...

Re: Climate Change and other predictions of Imminent Doom
Speaking about the Amazon.... https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1164515943483138055 According to the real "correct" models of climate change, increasingly burning down the Amazon large chunk by chunk per year should have very little to no impact on the global climate. Therefore, the re...

While Cyclone Vayu bears down on the coast, northern India is gripped by a stifling heatwave. Temperatures have soared for weeks.

Re: Politics Down Under
not really - qld and nsw have that kind of right wing so you can find them - but for the rest of Australia the right wing is largely pro immigration. Katter party (QLD) and National party (NSW/VIC) would be those types, the liberal party as the mainstream right wing party has usually had higher lev...

Re: The approaching Honduran migrant caravan
There are many things that should be said about this migrant issue. I will let loose with the first, most obvious one: The American MSM is nothing less than the Lügenpresse when it comes to this. Just barely a month ago they were bloviating and fully gaslighting about Trump the Bumbling, Paranoid Li...

Re: This Jewish Boy Is Going to Buy a Gun
Two observations on this as we approach the one month mark for the massacre: 1. Bowers was not just a virulent anti-semite, in retrospect he showed signs of virulent anti-Trump rage as well. Possibly even comparable to the average shock trooper in Anti-FA. Viewing in that lens, his massacre was not ...

Re: Climate and the Anthropogenic Global Warming Controversy
Record breaking typhoons yet again in Japan, now a great earthquake in the far north of Hokkaido. Truly fulfilling the native Japanese expression of the Island of Catastrophes.

There is nothing to worry about because those coral reefs are never going anywhere because they have always recovered in the past from warm temperatures and 2. In any case warming sea temperatures can't possibly be the c...
