FTA: The climate system is extremely complex and our understanding is deeply uncertain. There is a whole lot that we don’t know and even more that we can’t know.
When in the 1980s, the United Nations (“UN”) picked up on climate change as a tool to push forward a Globalist agenda, it became an assumption that global warming was dangerous.
However, over the last 100 years, temperatures have risen by 1oC and agricultural productivity has skyrocketed, the global population has increased by 400%, fewer people live in poverty and there are fewer deaths from extreme weather and climate events.
Since 2021, the UN is predicting that global temperatures will rise by another 1oC by 2100. Based on the effects of the last 100 years, is this really a problem?
The public doesn’t get to hear of these things because the information given to the public is carefully laundered spin which is amplified by corporate media. And climate scientists who speak against the prevailing climate change narrative are marginalised, demonised and dismissed as “climate deniers,” often using accusations of being funded by petroleum companies.
The above are some of the points Judith Curry made during an interview with Afshin Rattansi, host of Going Underground, last week. She joined Rattansi to discuss her book ‘Climate Uncertainty and Risk: Rethinking Our Response’ which was released last year.
"If man is not fit to govern himself, how can he be fit to govern someone else?" ~ James Madison
Democracy is not a system that puts the people in power. "The people" will never be in power.
Democracy is a system that puts the best manipulators in power.
"Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard." ~ H. L. Mencken
"Democracy? I want nothing to do with a system which operates on the premise that my rights don't exist simply because I am outnumbered." ~ R. Lee Wrights
"A man is no less a slave because he is allowed to choose a new master once in a term of years." ~ Lysander Spooner
“Since outright slavery has been discredited, 'democracy' is the only remaining rationale for state compulsion that most people will accept. Democracy has proved only that the best way to gain power over people is to assure the people that they are ruling themselves. Once they believe that, they make wonderfully submissive slaves.” ~ Joseph Sobran

GrumpyRabbitThe reason The Powers That Should Not Be so strongly want a central bank is because it greatly reduces the constraints on what they can spend money on. A fiat currency system does the same. Both together synergistically amplify the effect. But the benefits to the ruling class are even more greatly amplified if the nation's currency is the pre-eminent world reserve currency.
And that's all you really need to know about why all of those things are so strongly defended by the ruling class and their sycophants.
FTA: Climate scientists would be less likely to issue dire warnings of planetary doom if they gave more credence to the geological history of the past several million years. Instead, they rely on computer models that are biased by the preconceptions of their manipulators and incapable of accounting for the myriad factors influencing global temperatures.
Minuscule recent warming, whatever the cause, is inconsequential in light of the long record of data found in Antarctica ice cores that go back 800,000 years. The bottom line is that Earth is colder by nearly 3 degrees Celsius than it was 3,000 years ago and is just now climbing out of its longest cold spell of the last 10,000 years. Blaring headlines about record heat waves of the past 100 years are meaningless, hysterical blather.
A deeper dive into geologic history — based partly on the record stored over millions of years in deep-ocean sediments — shows that today’s carbon dioxide concentrations of 420 parts per million are a fraction of past levels that reached 5,000 ppm and more. Carbon dioxide is nearly at its lowest level ever since plant life began so many millions of years ago and well below the optimum amount for the health of most vegetation.
In fact, the 280-ppm concentration of the mid-19th century is uncomfortably close to the point at which plant life dies — below 150 ppm. Given that all life depends on adequate amounts of this gas, proposals to reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide are nothing less than reckless.
"The World Economic Forum released a report on 16 April claiming 98 per cent of the world’s central banks have agreed to implement a cashless society by eliminating physical cash and switching to central bank digital currencies.
Despite almost zero coverage in the mainstream corporate media, this sea change in the way transactions are conducted has been decades in the making and will end the concept of privacy and anonymity, Leo Hohmann writes."
One reason is because the law gives them the status of "legal tender," which means exactly what it says on US paper currency: You have the right to use it to satisfy debt obligations, including taxes due.
Creditors MUST, by law, accept debt repayments in the form of US dollars. Refusal to do so results in the courts deeming the debt to have been paid anyway—but only if the repayment is in the form of cash or a cash-equivalent instrument (e.g, a bank account balance increase,) or is successfully converted into such by the creditor, such as by depositing a check that subsequently clears.
The other reason is simply because society chooses to accept payment in USD, at whatever rate of exchange the market will bear.
it's a starch (polysaccharide) whose glycemic Index = 136. Table sugar's glycemic index is only 65.
The technical name is maltodextrin: But on food labels, it may be called any of dextrin, modified food starch, glucose syrup or corn syrup.
And because of where it comes from and how it's processed, it also carries a payload of glyphosate and gluten.
Industry gets around any and all FDA regulation of maltodextrin (and of MANY other substances) simply by formally claiming to the FDA that it's "generally recognized as safe" (GRAS.) There is no requirement for scientific verification, and the FDA does not question it.
If what they want is global civil war, this is how they will get it. And if they want massive depopulation--numbering in the billions--this is also how you get that.
The real issue is neither pronouns nor transgendered souls who've been surgically mutilated: It's freedom of speech, freedom to speak the truth as one perceives it to be, and freedom to use one's native language as one sees fit.
@admin All that matters is that his political views with respect to slavery and the Confederacy were strongly aligned with those of Democrats who controlled the States of the Confederacy.
That, and the fact that it is is far more probable that the alienated will use violence as a means of protest when they feel that their side is losing...or has lost. And we know which side lost that particular contest.
