Brains are chemistry-based computers. All information is physical. Reality is the truth. Science measures it. Sustainable love is Humanism. Greenhouse gas releases keep increasing the EEI (Earth's Energy Imbalance). #FBR #EPluribusUnum

The Earth's Energy Imbalance keeps getting less balanced...

(We really should get lead out of AVGAS, btw. Might not happen if they kill FAA EAGLE.)

But imagine how bruised his ego would be if the outside crowd was even smaller than last time.

I'm concerned that Chairman Maosk is going to starve a few million Americans with arrogant top-down decisions.

Trump's first trade war hurt our farmers so much he had to spend $28 billion to triage them. Who knows if it was all accounted for.

You mean, like the powerful winners who keep telling poor folks that taxation is theft, and that they want to shrink government till it can be drowned in a bathtub?

Anecdotes.

Thinking billionaires can magically create better/cheaper schools and undo the covid years? LOL

Globally: "Between 2018 and 2022, there was an average decline in scores of 14 percent of a standard deviation, equivalent to seven months of learning."

Raw GINI lacks details.

"Since this time series shows greater volatility, the observed decline does not necessarily indicate a reversal in trending income inequality growth."

The tax rates that were forcing trickle-down have been getting cut all around the planet... and now we are seeing more unrest, anger, and finger pointing.

Believe whatever makes you happy, I guess.

I know folks on the conservative side who would cheer if someone dropped a nuke on the whole middle east, they are so tired of the religious fighting.

Seen airwars? Trump unleashed the US military to kill families.

Right. It's kind of dependent on policy... backed up by Congress. Have you been working on voting out all of the Congressmen who support Israel?

Is that still true, though?

IMO2020 also applies to cruise ships (depending on where they are).

Kind of a problem, because aerosols from ship exhaust can create ship trails that shade the oceans, counteracting global warming.

Here's a zoom in of your deceptive chart, BTW.

If you want extinction, just say that. If you've invested in frozen tundra, hoping it becomes farmland, say it. Planning to ship directly across the North Pole?

Be honest. Stop lying.

Temperatures just keep increasing. It's the "Earth's Energy Imbalance" EEI. Due to an imbalance in greenhouse gasses.

If you understand evolution, you know sudden changes cause mass extinction. That would be bad for humans.

If you don't understand evolution, read about it till you do.

Water has a high heat density. The oceans have been holding the majority of excess heat, especially after ship tracks were reduced through fuel sulfur-level reductions with IMO2020 reducing shade from artificial clouds.

Your audience may not understand "equilibrium" or balanced budgets, but the sun's energy is hitting the planet as full spectrum radiation constantly. If 100% of that energy doesn't leave for space as infrared radiation then the planet heats up.

It leaves through the "infrared window".

Here are some graphs about global warming that are aligned with reality.

All of Musk's projects are copies of sci-fi. He is successful because... I mean, lots of people have an inner 15 yr old that thinks it's cool.

Lately, the Mars thing feels most like Hugo Drax from Moonraker.

It does seem wrong and it would be nice to have an investigation... but they probably just had good stats. There were too many guys who didn't want to vote for a woman.

Winning by 1% really isn't a landslide, though. It's weak.
November 16, 2024 at 8:21 PM
With 98% of the vote counted, the popular vote is now 48 to 49. Weak.
