If only we would all shut ourselves in an unlit room all day and night with no electrical appliances or systems running and a mattress to lay on so as to pass time. That would be the ideal, I suppose.

Even more ideal would be if "God's creation" were limitless and wouldn't go to shit from natural human behavior. But unfortunately, it seems to be a fact that for 8 billion human beings to even live is an atrocity. So much for the benevolent God hypothesis.

The planet is alive, well, and healthier than ever. Just to be sure though, perhaps everyone should wear two scuba tanks. One for oxygen inhale, the other for carbon capture, human exhalations, to be sent into space on Musk missiles for the pupose of surrounding the exosphere with a carbon cloud that will partial block the ultimate physical energy source, cooling the earth but not too much. Don't want another Ice Age now, do we. For those whose speaking abilities have not retreated into vestigeality, Musk transmitters can be included into the scuba mouthpiece, for an extra fee and if you can't afford it, no talkie for you which will fit into hermit budgets just fine, just fine.

Not according to the majority of climatologists (you know, evil science people). Mass extinctions are occurring, droughts, pollution is choking our planet also. Ordinary human activities may do us in if we keep it up or even hasten the pace.

That's absurd, Gary, a continuation of the solitary confinement without even AC alone in that dark room absurdity. From the sounds of it, you would benefit greatly from shucking off all that jive and starting over with fresh apprehension, free of propagandized bias that appears to have been baked into your brain. But that's only if you're interested in losing what has brought you to this place in life, and moving onto something new. And why do that, even if it is possible to survive the experience somewhat intact. Keep in mind though that after a certain age the risk/benefit doesn't add up, given the left for wine, women and song, which is why they say you can't teach an old dog new tricks.

But the hurricanes are just horrendous now, and so expensive so they must be ever so more powerful ... and just look at the NC outer banks getting gobbled up by the ocean, houses that used to be 300 feet from the water just floating away ... because of humans. After all, humans built them there.

... not to mention all the squalls and thunderstorms and snowstorms that now have names of their own, in order to draw attention to the seriousness of the situation.

enjoy your salad ...

Here's an idea, Walker. Since science is all bunk, maybe go into a closet and try mixing some bleach and ammonia together. Maybe it'll make you smarter, you never know.

Or try injecting liquid Drano? It might help too. You never know until you try.

The concept of sterilization of the body from the inside out to combat Inflamation, with safe chemicals that mimic the effects of UV rays that AI can direct to disinfect a hospital room, just might be effective on the nanobot scale.

Someone on the TV is selling a hat filled with light, to stimulate hair growth. Hmmm. Who is the financial backing for that hair-brained idea?

However, I think what you suggest, Gary, just might kill a human. That's an indication of no sophistication you big hillbelly, and a rather malicious programming in your noggin to boot.

I, on the other hand, have the advantage of a human brain that does not need to experience every stupid thing, or believe the nonsense propaganda that the Left spews about climate in the name of gimme your money so we can busywork with building and repairing windmills that look like dinosaurs, even though wind did build the American West, 'specially in Texas, where they probably invented Ranch dressing for the salad.

Oh, that's hilarious, Walker. Good one! Can you do another one?

No problem. Since you're incapable, I'll tell you what to think.

The planet is strong, healthy, fit as a fiddle. No worries.

I’ve heard the discussions about climate change. Same old same old.

Characterizing the climate as the same old same old is not a matter of science denial. It’s not a matter of portraying those who disagree with someone’s fantasies to be idiots or flat earthers, like Leftys do when faced with reality, which is often.

Maybe that is the focus for morons who accuse such things … but it’s not the focus for rational folks.

What it’s about now, what the focus is now with so many folks repeating the mantra of “Climate Change” as a catch-all for who knows what, like PC zombies … what it’s about now is to prevent the climate from changing. Or, to change the way climate is changing. That’s just stupid. You ain’t big enough, although the made-in-the-image-of-urge is certainly in folks. And, why even bother wasting time, energy, and the GDP of the entire world trying to stop the climate from changing? It's a gonna change.

Try to change the climate to your way, just because the climate is there?

That’s also stupid. That would be like trying to swim across the Atlantic without a boat escort, just because it’s there. That would be like getting stranded in a blizzard on Everest with a thousand other climbers, just because it’s there.

The climate is gonna change, and trying to change that is just chasing windmills.


Mitigation. MITIGATION.

Put those scientist thinking caps on mitigation, and the only way to mitigate is with energy.

Big energy, ‘cause AI is hungry.

Coal. Petroleum. Nuclear.

Mitigation. Make that the new Lefty mantra to replace … Climate Change.

Climate Change for Lefties is like Umgawa for Tarzan. It means everything, and it means everything to them, too.

The NY Post reports that Bill Gates, big funder of the climate change scare, has now turned into a mitigator.

A MITIGATOR. Can you believe it? 13/31

And Gates ain't no Minigator, since he's at least as wealthy as his ex-wife, ostensibly 'cause there were reports of him doin' the mess-around.



His "beliefs" appear to be evolving.

Still laughing?

What happened to the Climate Tale?
Not much of a story after all the doom and gloom?



Priorities ... Microsoft needs nuclear.
Bill Gates says ... never mind about all that end of the world stuff.

Time for the Left to demonize ol' Bill
Or open the memory hole
With inattention.

I agree that we should do everything that we can to curb CO2, etc emissions. With me it's all about money. If I could have afforded it, I'd have owned an electric car years ago. I also "would have" installed photovoltaic cells years ago, for the same reason. For me the lack of funding is the only reason why I'm not one of the few that's leading the way to curb climate change. I do drive a motorcycle as much as possible, which gets much better gas mileage than cars.

I really wish I could do more.

Now a wise man once said, if you had the faith, the size of a mustard seed, you could move a mountain.

Have you ever noticed, that all a mind can do is process information using binary recursion, just like every computer does?
Psychology is commensurate with the Principles of Language functionally resident in the mind as a Grammar Matrix. We as mind process information in order to produce our behavior.

So, fact proves this statement to be provably wrong, the smallest thing, the very definition of a thing, creates everything. No one in history has built a sky scrapper starting at the last floor.
