So glad I watched the news before I left for my commute. Damn hippies.

"Laying on your horn hurts us, it's violent"

An interesting video at the end of this short article:

There is just so much competing (mis)information out there, it's hard to really know what to believe anymore, although I do tend to disbelieve the climate alarmists.

[revelations]

Big picture thinking:

The climate change debacle (yes there is climate change, but nothing like is being claimed - mass extinction shit) is being exploited as the latest 'boogeyman' since people are all boogeyed out about Al Qaeda, terrorism etc.

Fear keeps people buying shit and under control. Its always something or someone that the mass media presents as something we should worry about.

Next 'boogeyman' will be the extraterrestrials. The Navy has already released authentic UFO footage so I would not be surprised if the narrative turns in that direction (eg. we are being invaded, etc.).

Blaming UFO's is a legitimate avenue nowadays. The F-35 that got shot down over Japan waters had to be a UFO, as the Chinese or the Russians do not have the technology to track nevermind shoot down the F-35. Considering that USA landed on the moon, it is outright impossible that any other nation has a superior aerospace craft.

Could we blame climate change on extraterrestrial aliens? It makes sense from a litigation point of view if you have to find a good scapegoat that can never be disproven with certainty.

Only question is do you blame the Greys, Lizardpeople, or Kodos.

Thats right - single engined aircraft could NEVER have an engine failure, nor has the latest Lockheed fighter batches suffered from other mysterious , solo crashes in the last 15 years.

Therefore, it HAD to be the ETE's. /s

Well this should be interesting

Ah well, easily accessible first world countries with good human rights make better vacation destinations I guess.

I dunno, I just came back from Bali where they burn their trash in a hole in the sidewalk and there are plastic bottles everywhere.

I really liked the shade thrown by the CPC member, lol. I mean, she'll definitely visit Iran and Saudi Arabia and preach to them, right?

Quite the mystery. Personally I think that China just blanketed the air with those micro-fiber tungsten filaments (which will down all fighter aircraft) But, that does not explain how they saw the F-35 in flight in the first place.

Best say it was aliens, because if you say it was because of engineering or final assembly failure this late in the game, its going to look worse than if it was just simply shot down IMO.

Back on topic: There might be a shift in nations that will be negatively affected by climate change. Previously thought, was that island nations would have majority effects as erosion of shoreline if the ice caps melt. Every Floridian city in the USA would be a complete loss write-off. And that ocean temperatures would stabilize land temperature.

But the actual measurements in places liike New Zealand and Japan suggest they may be hitting 40 Celsius in the summers much quicker than anyone would have guessed (and lets not forget, predictions are always guesses.) Billionaires who built their doomsday shelters on New Zealand may have made a mistake.

And just to add more fuel to the fire: I am on the side that the single worst thing you can learn in todays economy is how to fix a combustion engine. The reasons should be obvious, but having a "more valuable" skill based on scarcity as they are phased out is a fallacy. There are plenty of combustion experts with 30 years experience ahead of anyone just hitting the books now, and if the combustion engine is phased out in one generation - they will never have a skill level that will command a price premium. The second worst thing, is a rocket fuel based spaceship (nuclear propulsion made diesel submarines obsolete, so too will every single piece of Apollo technology be made obsolete, which technically most of it already is.)

What worked well for one generation will not pass into the next. You can be the best horse and buggy whippersnapper, but that does not mean it will carry on into the future.

Buzz the dickwad, has not and will not pass on his NASA knowledge to the next generation in the USA, therefore it is the ultimate dead end tech. Dun Dun Duhhh…

Disrupting public transit seems counter intuitive.

Indeed. And if there's one thing that'll make even the most mellow Londoner lose their mind it's disruptions on the Tube.

Is it real? Is it human-caused? Can we do anything? Should we do anything? What's the best plan?

Discuss.

I believe the demise of the human species is inevitable. The biggest issue in my opinion is human population. We talk about climate change but we do nothing to control population levels. Humans are inherently greedy. Big organizations that talk about preserving and adjusting never practice what they preach, their end goal is to line their pockets with more wealth.

You see celebrities, politicians and 16 year old girls talking about change and saving our environment but I don’t see any of them giving up their lifestyle to live a simple low footprint existence.

.1% of the population would be willing.

There is nothing we as Canadians could possibly do to affect the rest of the world. If we stopped everything immediately it would have no change at all.

Humans are so emotional though, we have this blind hope that eludes all logic.

You can’t have sustainability if the human population continues to grow.
