The geoposition that Modi takes today is very surprising, when you look at the events of the 1970s….
I just finished a recent book by Max Blumenthal: The Management of Savagery: How America’s National Security State Fueled the Rise of Al Qaeda, ISIS, and Donald Trump.
So detailed is the book that I can see that he might have ruffled a few feathers which might then explain the latest police state thuggery:
‘Political persecution’: Max Blumenthal arrested in DC police raid, held for 2 days on phony charges over Venezuela embassy siege
https://www.rt.com/news/472083-max-blumenthal-arrested-venezuela-embassy/
Is the Blumenthal book well written. I found it on Amazon but it is just out with no reviews. I only buy them if the book is well written. I find too many books are poorly written and poorly edited these day. If it is well written I might buy it.
I understand and feel the same about poorly edited books. I don’t recall any issues with Blumenthal’s writing at all. The first part of the book has a lot of detail and names and is therefore a bit of a slog if you are only able to read a few pages at a time, after that it flows well and is extremely readable. As it was a library book with 7 people waiting for it I had to return it right after finishing it. Well worth reading even if you might possibly disagree with not the detail but some of the conclusions.
Thanks.
The mystery of life: or how a mainstream theist becomes a fringe atheist

As in the comment above, various, not so subtle problems, exist within the formwork of doubleplusgoodthink. Yet, they are not intractable problems, because there is an outlet, and in actual fact there are multiple avenues of quick escape, and far too many to do more than categorize. But, it becomes necessary to backtrack, and aim for a start-point: where does, in the mind of the erstwhile devotee, this cascade of scandal begin? —Quo modo?The lever; the arm of mighty consequence, and of blind matter transformative power. Here is an observable start to all loss of faith, the simple question of mechanism, of law and lever: by what power of the ‘Verse, does dirt becomes divine?
Should we scan the depths of adamant souls today, we should find the near complete laundry-list of plausibly mis-understood answers, such as: interstellar cosmic cookery; micro-crystalline self-organization; Gaia’s effeminate effervescence; and lastly, and the most popular among all the trending adherents, ultra-dimension alien meddling. But, there are other concepts of a more dilettante variety, popular among the high priestly class, which for lack of a better term, can be grossly summarized as the anti-intervention interventionists; listed here are the punctuated uniformist, and the quantum particle quisling crowd, as well as the slightly comical, but not without clout, god-of-the-dice evolutionists.
What becomes of the sceptic? That poor, beggarly outcast of society, who has lost his stopgap religion, his bread and butter, his very reason to believe? He becomes, if possible, an atheist, and a ghost-like being of the nether realms, and a denizen of hell.
Interesting questions – which in fact are mostly important for every person who has arrived at this point, at least once in his/her life. Her is a small try to answer, in a alternative way :

Letter from Theater
by ioan
What is the Earth if not a Theater
The stage is set for timeless show
Though Time is yet another trick
To make the players come and go
Oh, the wheel, the wheel of time
Crushed my present, took my mom
Neither stops, nor takes a break
It keeps running with the Sun
And the Sun with Moon and Nature
Pushing wheel of time together
Make the people on the stage
Feel the pressure of their age
Now we are, but what are we,
For how long we’re here to be,
What’s the reason, what’s the task,
Some of them, may dare ask…
But the Moon, the Sun and Nature
Bound together with the wheel,
Are but parts of greater Theater
Serving our daily meal
So, the Man, remains alone
With his questions, with his bone
Happily he tries to live
Until he must, one day…leave
What was that and why so fast,
He just came and turned the page,
Now belongs to foggy past
Others coming on the stage
Wheel is coming down the hill
Never asking what’s my will,
Script is given for My Letter
Be it bad or sunny weather,
On this noisy earthly Theater.
Wheels of time. Is time straightforward, linear?
The discussions on climate all really pass over this idea, or deal indirectly with it. It seems as if climate is, of all things terrestrial, more bound to the circular, as it’s the repeating circulation of the atmosphere about the globe, under the effect of the sun and moon, the seasons, the flora and fauna, the rocks and sea, and the vast cosmic wind. Earth’s climate is like a myriad of interwoven and declinated spirals, with new strands slowly separating out and intermixing, as a multidimensional dance of spiraling chronological phenomena. How many is a myriad? Maybe too small a number to adequately describe the downward dervish dance. We mark the times and seasons, and various cyclical changes whether yearly or monthly, and with the rising/setting sun we mark a new day, but that this is a circular chronology, and not linear, is entirely missing. As a consequence to our boxed-in way of thinking, the greater cycles of climate are an unknown quantity, because they do not compute with the linearity of compartmental thinking, just how many spiraling forces have continued for decades, for centuries, for millennia, and continue now?
The ‘greater cycles of climate’ are not ‘unknown’. They are well-known, certainly more so than 200 years ago when greenhouse gas climate science began to be established. We know a good deal about the Milankovich Cycles that have such a great effect on the movement between glacial periods and interglacials. We also know how greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere effect the climate, where large forcings, like the vulcanic eruption of the Siberian Traps and its ignition of great beds of coal, caused a hot-house Earth mass extinction, the End Permian Great Dying when c.90% of species died out. Such forcings of greenhouse gases are usually followed by slow sequestration of the gases in geological formations, bound to minerals, and the global temperature cycles down again. This planetary capacity to create a sort of homeostasis that protects Life on Earth, despite the Sun’s gradual warming, periodic mass extinctions through hot-house Earth episodes and collisions with meteors and comets, and, perhaps, an occasional soaking in high energy radiation from hypernovae, is one of the reasons that the Gaia Hypothesis of the planet as a living, self-regulating, system has gained credence over recent decades. In the end cycles control most aspects of Life on Earth, in hydrological, nitrogen, phosphorus and other cycles, but the problem we face at present is that, thanks to the greatest forcing of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere for at least 55 million years, is the amplitude of the current cycle. When so much climate destabilising energy is injected into the Earth system, we are doomed to cycle outwards to an extreme hot-house event, causing the planet’s first mass extermination (given its deliberate nature) event, from which the cycling back to relative stability will take hundreds of millennia.
The wheel of our karma
With the fate goes round
The wheel of knowledge
Rebounds without sound
The cart wheel of farmer
Rolling with the seasons
The spinning wheel too
Going round and round
As dancers on the floor
You’ll be here today
And gone tomorrow
“You’ll be here today
And gone tomorrow…”
There was never a time when the Soul did not exist, though the theatre It finds Itself in
changes again, and again and again…
from the depths of hell
to the gates of paradise –
the hero’s journey
Hell is nothing but sleep, forgetfulness, delusion
the opposite of being awake, present in the moment.
When the watcher watches the watched
with full attention, without judgement
that’s when, that’s where the veil is lifted:
No birth! No death! No hell! No paradise!
“The depths of hell…” refers to the state of separation that Soul experienced after being banished from Heaven, in order to begin Its long journey to spiritual maturity, and hence, the “gates of Paradise”…
Both “Hell” and “Heaven” are terms referring to states of consciousness, which do exist both objectively and subjectively, though some may transcend these states.
For no special reason I read the online biography of an “intellectual.” He began his young adulthood as a “practicing Anglican” before graduating to some form or other of curated atheism so as to be in dialog with such luminaries as Sam Harris and Jordan Peterson. Not to diminish the importance of an individual’s personal experience and the vagaries of religious faith, I thought it odd for one to go from a religious to non-religious outlook. Then I realized that “practicing Anglican” was part of his prior job description, in other words his cover.
Righti-oh ..
Last cafe I made a proposal to discuss the climate change issues (important issues in my book because the decisions or no decisions will deeply affect what we eat in our world and therefore our health).
I made a proposal that took the emotions out of it, and simply starts a reporting system, where everyone can learn at their own pace, or accept or reject what makes sense for us individually.
/moveable-feast-cafe-2019-10-25/#comment-714587
Of course, yet again, this was summarily rejected with all the usual words – not even anything new and innovative, just static old sentences that are hackneyed and boring. So, note that not even a simple reporting system in among us here, is acceptable to those that are statically fixed in their ideas and stuck in their paradigm, and want me and people like me to walk into their sheeple camp of fear.
/moveable-feast-cafe-2019-10-25/#comment-714932
What I see from the requests in the cafe, and in my email, is that people want a sane discussion and want to simply have the various bits and pieces of information to make up their own minds. People and commentators here want to assess for themselves, and they don’t want to be coerced into a certain way of thinking and they want good information on all aspects.
Why oh why?
– Because our planet is dynamic, and not static. To apply a set of static science on a dynamic planet is nothing less than idiotic. One needs to adapt, or you die – we need to live with what the planet throws our way.
– Because we are in the midst of a massive technology innovation on our planet. There is no settled science and everything is being developed a-new as, in my view, we’re moving into various space faring activities. For this reason, solutions to a changing climate that we think we have today, may change materially tomorrow – because the effing science cannot be settled in some kind of killer fear technology.
– Because the concept of settled science pushes people into a box, where no innovation may take place – no questions may be asked and no new ideas or paths may be followed. Innovation and dynamism is stifled.
– Because freedom does not come from a static state, but from continually innovating, dynamically taking part in life, pushing the boundaries and never ever can we be in acceptance of false control methods – even if the only possibility is resisting in our minds.
– We’re humans – perhaps we’re even a ‘wild strain’ (thanks my far-away friend for the concept!). We are creative, we think, we solve, we cry, we laugh, we do bad things, we do good things, we’re sometimes incredibly stupid, and sometimes incredibly clever, some are evil, some are not, we gather karma, we dissipate karma … we seek freedom instead of control – we evolve and devolve sometimes, we are not static beings – and our world is not static and neither is our science.
– This dynamic approach is the only but the only thing that staves off, or even works with, the natural process of entropy. ‘Settled Science’ is entropy only, in our continual human balancing act between order and disorder.
– Scientific advances
on power generation – The Russians are using that principle to build a newfangled nuclear power generator that uses the waste of the process as new fuel – they’ve come up with what looks like a zero waste closed system nuclear power generator.
on computing and information technology – (besides AI which I believe could be a good thing) – we’re slowly moving into quantum computing
blockchain technology – the Chinese have just in the last while registered a mess of technology projects, the way we handle our world and our money is changing, and according to Xi Jinping, “The PBOC has been studying DCEP for five or six years, and is likely to be the first central bank in the world to launch a digital currency .
So, to think the ‘science is settled’ on a climatic system on the earth and the solar system that is in constant state of flux as a natural state, a system which we cannot even fully measure or prototype in a lab, is truly dark ages, stuffed, stuffy, controlled, limited, limiting freedom, limiting innovation, limiting dynamism, limiting development of soul and consciousness by fear messages, limiting humankind and ‘settled science’ is perpetually just dead. If any science anywhere is ‘settled’ those ‘pesky Chinese’ will stop breeding so many scientists, engineers, technologists, mathematicians and so on.
The way I read this whole mess is that in the next year or so, the incessant fights will diminish, as the current planetary changes reveal themselves and we have to stop dying and come to life to deal with the impact, as we will just have to do that.
That’s Why Oh Why!
Science is like a rock, an ideal rock, and so it contains within its envelope not simply the mineral realm, but reaches as far as the eye will see, ear will hear, and heart will ponder. That being said, this intellectual corpus, is built on non-material foundations; no one presumes to say that science is, in and of itself, a thing, but instead it is merely an attempt to categorize things and stuff, for the sake of knowledge; science is a conglomeration of too many thoughts for anyone to easily capture it, and gleen it’s inner essence. That being said, those who wish to do as you say, and learn for themselves, would do better not to begin at the end, but to begin at the beginning. The end in this case is the proverbial dumpster-diving of climate science research. It is more suited to the non-academic freethinkers to form their own opinions and develop theories that accord with their own opinions and views of a broader scope. To begin, these questions: what is climate; what does it do; where is it, and where not; whence is it. Very quickly it becomes apparent that no one can answer these questions; no one is asking them, and therefore no one answers. Ask the right questions!
Preach it brother or sister! :-)
Where is it? Outside! Not in a lab, not in a box, not down a hole, looking for a fox. Climate/weather must be experienced to form a judgement based on the experience of being outside. Has a weather man ever said ‘rain all day’? So what? Of course, you stay inside, all day, even if the sun is shining because the weather man says its raining. Tempos are going up so say the alarmists, come to my part of the world experience the weather as it was much cooler this growing season…………but that’s just my imagination, my ruined garden, mostly ruined, the hot chili peppers flowered one hot day in early september after our first frost. Alarmist call it climate change, realists call it the weather and its never perfect from one season to the next.
And for those who see destroyed houses as climate change, how about some proper building codes, maybe any building codes, cause the damage I see is from improper building practices. For those flooded out, when you drain swamp land, call it farm land, then whine when mother nature reclaims her habitat and floods it, that’s a hugh doh! And wild fires which have burned for millinia, are only noticible now because we have the entire planet under camera 24/7/365
Only those with no concern for the future of Life on Earth and humanity in particular are not ‘alarmed’ by our current predicament.
You and your ‘non-academic free thinkers’ are free to have your ‘own opinions and views’, but you cannot call them ‘science’, or even, let’s be frank, ‘reality’, and you are not entitled to ‘your own’ Laws of Physics and Thermodynamics. Thank way leads right back to witch-craft and superstition.
I have been farming and done forestry in the hot tropics for over 40 years. I can assure that climate is changing. I can also tell that people and life forms in general can adapt more then what is thought to these Earth changings
I have posted my amateurish ideas about climate change here before maybe 1 or 2 years before So I am postinng it here again if that isdeemed useful

Climate Changes.
As every one knows climate has always changed. Grapes were once grown in Belgium, England and even in protected places up to Sweden. On the other hand the French Revolution came during a period of extreme cold weather when crops failed, a mini ice age.
Climate is changing today as also everyone can notice. There are basically 2 opposing points of view. On the one side the global warming due to CO2, widely promoted in the main stream media and on the other side the danger of a coming ice age due to a solar minimum. It is however becoming more and more clear that at present we are in the middle of a struggle between the forces of heat and cold. We find in the news record heat temperatures only to be followed by never before measured minimums.
A closer look at certain facts becomes necessary. One cannot talk about climate in general without a precise definition of what actually constitutes “climate”. In any case whatever the definition one cannot talk about climate without taking the geosphere and biosphere of the planet Earth into consideration.
The Biosphere
The Web of Life
At one moment in time Life appeared on this planet. When that initial Life form(s) appeared the climatic condition on Earth can be called point A. Gradually more diverse Life forms appeared and the climatic condition became B. Or point B climatic condition allowed Life to diversify. It maybe impossible to unravel this enigma. It seems that certain climatic conditions and the appearance of certain Life forms are inseparably interconnected in a Life-Climate cycle or are in fact part of the same phenomenon.
At this present stage the climatic and Life conditions on Earth could be called point Z. But it seems fact Life forms are disappearing from our planet at an alarming rate ! If so it seems irrational to believe that the climatic condition on Earth will remain at point Z. It maybe that the climatic condition may regress to point Y or even further back to X, W, or V. ?
Life in Soil and Water
It is a fact that 80% of all living organisms live in the top 30 centimetres of the soil. The weight of these life forms exceeds the total weight of all life forms walking about on the surface of the planet. The same holds for the oceans, 80% of all aquatic life is situated in the 30 topmost cm of the water sheet.
The oceans and water bodies all over contain the largest part of all living organisms on the planet. The scandalous pollution of the oceans, seas and all water bodies is responsible for the enormous extinction of aquatic life.
Soil Life all over the planet has been devastated and is still being decimated. Fifty years ago the carbon content of agrisoils in France was 4.5 %. Today due to chemical fertilisation it is less then 1 %. These fertilizers are also radio active. Especially nitrogenous fertilizers are responsible for burning up the organic matter in the soil. These factors; the disappearance of soil organic matter and the increased radio activity and pollution in general are responsible for the near total collapse of soil life all over the planet..
It is the Life force under certain climatic conditions that expresses itself in all these myriad life forms from the tiny amoeba to the giant sequoia. The disappearance of life forms affects the effective manifesting power of the Life force which again affects the vigour of its various life manifestations. It forms a vicious downwards spinning cycle.
Be it in the oceans or on emerged land the Life-Climate cycle is in reversal mode. In the Web of Life one can assume that all determining factors are inextricably interlinked.
On the other hand Life forms seems to adapt to changing condition more then one could imagine.
Deforestation, Desertification
Climate change is most likely due to deforestation, denudation and desertification.
In the last 40 years we seem to have cut 30% of the remaining forest cover; a forest cover which was already over exploited. As the vegetal cover acting as a protective buffer zone for the regulation of the temperature is gone, the exposed spaces heat up drastically.
Furthermore trees by certain exudates help in the formation of rain. For instance, in certain areas of the Andamans it used to rain for about 9 months a years. Today with the forest cover gone it rains for only 3 months. The same phenomenon has been observed in Brazil and elsewhere. Lack of rain or changes in the distribution of rainfall have an negative effect on the soil’s vegetative cover. A denuded world will create denuded people. Denuded of their spiritual sense
The Geosphere
A good look at the world map is necessary. It shows that most of the emerged land area is situated in the Northern hemisphere (North America, Europe parts of Asia.) On the contrary the water representing 73 % of the Earth’s surface, is mainly situated in the tropics. This allocation of land mass and water must have a prominent effect on the earth’s climate. A slight change in the planets temperature will thus have drastic consequences, as will be explained later.
Global Warming
The Earth’s vegetative cover acts as a buffer that controls the effect of solar radiation. The immense destruction of this buffer zones is further aggravated by an ever increasing pollution. Pollution covering the leaves with dust and sooth hinders the harvesting of sunlight, the major energy source for plant’ growth. Pollution also makes plants more susceptible to pests. Equally due to chemical soil amendments and pollution and general acidification of soils vital components are leached out and the interaction between fungi and hair roots is impeded and growth of vegetation in general is slowed down The soil organisms have by their very absence a considerable effect on the loss and disappearance of soil moisture and thus on the rise of world temperature
The fact is that the growth of vegetation all over the planet is slowed down. And as was mentioned, vegetation acts as a buffer to the effect of solar radiation.
Soil denudation is thus one of the major factors creating climate change, the major source for a possible global warming. The soil makes the climate as the climate makes the soil.
The biggest water expanse on the planet is situated in the tropics
It is sure that even a slight increase in temperature in the tropics will create huge increases in evaporation. The increased evaporation, thus cloud cover will initially prevent the cooling of the planet hence more heat more evaporation. Further the floating plastic islands, especially the plastic bottles are a serious source for heating up the water body of the oceans. All this will create alterations in the low pressure areas which may result in higher wind velocities thus storms including dust storms etc.
Water vapour is the major agent for trapping heat.
What goes up must come down as the saying goes. That surely can be noticed today, huge deluges are occurring East West South and North.
Thermal Mass
Concomitant with soil denudation which goes on increasing by the day, we create also increasingly enormous spaces for thermal mass. Heat collects and builds up in our megacities, on highways and parking lots on any paved space. Doubtlessly this is an important factor in the regulation of the temperature and thus an important actor of climate change.
Methane
Methane in the atmosphere is a source of global warming. Methane release to the atmosphere is a natural phenomenon. Here also there can be cycles of more or less methane release.
All soils release methane. Usually one blames the Asian rice field for this. However this has been refuted more than once. In the organic handling micro organisms deal to a great extend with this issue of “green house gasses”. It is the chemically treated agricultural soils that release methane to the atmosphere. Life stock is equally a big contributor to methane release. Composting of animal excreta reduces this considerably. It is the huge life stock pens mainly in the US, producing untreated sewage that are the great methane polluters. Even then methane release due to human interference is less in comparison to the natural release.
Further of importance to heating is carbon monoxide which is 300 times more effective then what is assumed for Co2.
Carbon diox…cide ?
What about all the commotion about global warming due to CO2. According to Philippe de Villiers, a conservative French MP, this was instigated in the European parliament under the aegis of the well-known financial sources. It is all about carbon credits, carbon market speculation which now reaches billions of fake dollars. In any case the presence of CO2 to the atmosphere is mainly due the burning up of soil organic matter and soil life. It is under the impact of chemical fertilizers that CO2 and methane are released to the atmosphere, a fact never mentioned by the prophets of Co2. ! They also never talked about the urgent need to stop all chemical amendments to soils and the global shifting to organic farming.
Trees and vegetation which depend on CO2 for their growth- ( carbon 44% oxygen 44% hydrogen 6% nitrogen 2-3 %, all these are air elements the last 2 trough interaction with soil life)- would grow much better with increased carbon levels as is demonstrated in glasshouses where carbon is added to enhance the growth of plants. But because of the destruction of soils and of soil life as was mentioned above, growth increase does not happen, except in very limited areas..
Carbon Dioxide by itself has no effect on the planet’s temperature. All this does not mean that we must not stop producing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and all forms of environmental pollution. .
Melting of the Glaciers and Polar
Studies about the melting of the Himalayan glaciers found only the effect of sooth pollution as the reason for the withdrawal of the glaciers Increased rainfall and intense deluges on the ice covered areas as is happening now is also a serious factor for the melting of the glaciers.
According to a recent study the lower Himalayan glaciers decline but on the other hand the bigger ones increase considerably their ice cover. This is also the case at the centre of the Antarctic where ice cover is growing. On the topic of rising of ocean water levels only if the Ice caps on Greenland and ice covered landmasses in Antarctica would melt could there be a rise in sea levels. The enormous ongoing erosion of soils all over the planet carrying million of ton of soil to the oceans would be the source of ocean water rising if that is really happening.
The sun’s magnetic field seems to act on the magma inside the Earth’s intestines. In case of a possible magnetic decline as seems the case at present, the magma would rise to the surface, and according to some sources this would explain the rise of earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and artic ice and perma frost melting from below. Thus pollution in the form of sooth dust and the magma of the earth rising to the surface are the major reasons for the melting of the polar caps.
Remark however that for building up and for the immense growth of ice caps leading to an Ice Age in the polar and temperate regions, huge amount of precipitation in the form of snow etc is needed. For this increased evaporation is required thus heating of the oceans. An evaporation which only the oceans of the tropics can provide.
Thus warming is needed for creating an ice age.
Global Cooling
Ultimately the huge increase of evaporation from the tropical oceans would cut of the sunlight. This should inhibit solar light reaching the earth’s surface thus heating of the emerged land- as well as water-mass. This should lead to a serious cooling. Another factor for cooling is the melting of the ice covered areas. As a result of the ice melting the water at 0 degrees C will spread out. This will not only prevent the heating of the water below, this cold water will actually absorb heat from the slightly hotter water below. This cold stream coming from the melting ice may affect the Gulf stream and may affect the climate in the North.
Dust clouds from volcanic explosions also cut of solar radiation.
On the other hand cooling would not create an increase in North pole ice as evaporation would be reduced and water would just freeze where it is. It seems obvious that these extremes in heat and cold and torrential rains, early and heavy snow fall could lead to a new ice age.
The transition from temperate climate to an ice age happens very suddenly- it can happen in 3 days or within 20 years as pollen studies have proved.
The Solar System
The present solar minimum which is part of the sun’s natural cycle, surely is of primary importance for the regulation of the planet’s climate. This decline of solar activity should lead to serious cooling. Reduced evaporation will lead to severe drought affecting agricultural sowing and planting seasons. A decline is solar radiation will equally create severe and prolonged winters. This will again affect crop production.
Conclusion
If C02 were a source of devastating heat one should logically promote organic farming which stores carbon in the soil and totally stop all fertilizers! Well that’s different.
As said and it needs to be repeated deforestation is the main source of climate perturbation. Planting trees and restoring the Earth’s green carpet are the most urgent activities humanity must undertake if it wants to survive under tolerable conditions on this planet Earth.
Increased CO2 should also lead to increased vegetal growth.
There may be lots of other factors which could influence the climate but of which we have as yet no idea. There is nothing one can do about fluctuations in solar radiation and magnetic fields. But Earth restoration is within our reach. But of course there is Haarp and Chemtrails, cloud seeding and God knows what other wonderful technologies our great civilisation has produced.
All factors seem to indicate that the Earth is heading towards a new ice age.
That being said someone else may well contradict whatever is written here. Whether heating or cooling Earth’s Living conditions will change drastically.
Ultimately the present day climatic conditions indicate that the Earth Mother is in need of a drastic change in the consciousness of her homo sapiens. Any sensible person will feel and intuitively know that this change, this shift is urgent. A mere improvement of the present condition is like the gilding of the same rot and will not do. Global warming or global cooling find it out for yourself. Global fooling, yes and increasing by the day.
bernard
Very useful thanks bernard! And a broad perspective and it is so clear when someone has their hands on the earth in reality and not just talking from zero real experience.
Yes, in terms of what to do, I would agree, reforestation first, build topsoil seriously, and clean up pollution of all kinds. I am not yet fully tied to warming/ice age but I think we will know for sure within the next year where we are heading. Intuitively I feel that we will cool but how deep of a cooling, I don’t know .. This is just intuitively.
There is a great God Allah that is looking out for everything…………..
Climate Alarmists Drop the Polar Bear as Their Mascot Since Polar Bears are Thriving
http://humansarefree.com/2019/10/climate-alarmists-drop-polar-bear-as.html
Those actions you recommend are, indeed, necessary and useful, as are all the ecological repairs possible. But they will come to nought if anthropogenic climate destabilisation is not reversed. Sequestration of carbon in soils is a good prospect for doing much work in that direction, while improving soil fertility.
The role of CO2, methane, nitrous oxide and other gases in trapping heat in the Earth system has been known for c.200 years. The other ecological destructions you mention are bad, but secondary to the forcing of greenhouse gases in the Earth system, and synergistic to it and each other. That is settled science, proved by experiment, and observation, both in recorded history and in paleo-climate records in ice-cores, tree rings, coral cores, mud-cores, pollen deposits and phenological observations. The truly manic attempts by denialists to find any cause for the current rapid climate destabilisation (when they are not actively denying that destabilisation is even happening) are truly misguided. That much of the disinformation is produced by a denialist industry funded by the Right and the fossil fuel interests, is hardly surprising, given the record of capitalists creating industries to deny the harms of tobacco, meat, junk-food, agrochemicals, alcohol, opioids etc.The gullibility of denialists in swallowing it all is truly tragic, and destructive. PS As for temperature records, warm records are now running ten times greater than cool ones.
“PS As for temperature records, warm records are now running ten times greater than cool ones.”
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. I see no evidence for this statement. This is the kind of thing that needs a citation.
No it doesn’t. Anyone who can Google or read a magazine or book can find it out to be true, and your reflex denialism simply predictable, and wrong.
Let’s not refuse to support our statements and then insult the other.
Here, the custom is that you speak, you support your own speech. (Using Google is of course part of the problem)
Waiting for citation …… otherwise it is a bold statement that is somewhere on the internet and worthless.
Yes, I was wrong. Hot records are outnumbering cool records by about two, not ten, to one, globally, but the trend to higher ratios has continued and is increasing, for forty years. At times. such as now, the ration has dropped, but for brief periods, in discrete regions generally, only. This current fall is interesting, and supports the greenhouse gas theory, because the Sun is currently very ‘quiet’ with virtually no sunspots, a sign of relatively low activity, all year. In ‘normal’ circumstances that would cause an abrupt and sharp drop in global temperatures, but they still keep increasing, with September and June this year the hottest such months ever recorded, and July the hottest ever month recorded. So, once again, anthropogenic climate destabilisation caused by the atmospheric levels of greenhouse gases, is confirmed.

Climate science is all about dynamic systems, the global climate being one such. To add a massive forcing of energy, captured in the system by heat-trapping greenhouse gases simply makes the dynamism of the system that much more pronounced. To infer that climate science is ‘static’ is nonsense. Denialism, however, is adamantine in its refusal to face facts.
Settled science is a term good enough for the US National Academy of Sciences referring to the anthropogenic climate destabilisation caused by increased levels of atmospheric greenhouse gases. To argue that we should do nothing to avert an anthropogenic climate destabilisation Holocaust, because technology is rapidly changing, is, in my opinion, greatly misguided. Science and technology will always change and advance, so your argument is one for never doing anything-just waiting around for the end. ‘Settled science’ does NOT prohibit technological advances and a further explication of the science, and, possibly, its surpassing by some new theory in the future, that will build on our current understanding a little, somewhat or in a great paradigm shift. Science does NOT contain people in boxes, it liberates them. What does contain people and straitens their minds is the ideological or some other refusal to produce any cogent theory or facts that would refute the science or increase our understanding. The tiny coterie of denialist ‘scientists’ have not done so, and all their great revelations, despite being pushed by the Right and the fossil fuel industry, have been refuted, often more than once.
As for ‘control’, well all sane, rational and life-affirming systems, cultures and societies do all they can to preserve Life on Earth and human existence as a categorical imperative, an Absolute Good, and the forces that seek, through disinformation, misrepresentation and outright mendacity, to force us not to address anthropogenic climate destabilisation, are very plainly acting contrary to that absolute imperative.
Here, we see in clear words the ‘new religion’. This is the dictatorial moralistic Tavistockian, Edward Bernays type arrogant diktat that comes with this science, that humankind on an individual or collective basis is responsible for the continuance of the species in the big scheme of things.
These scientists are dabbling in the moral, religious, spiritual and philosophical issues in order to compel a directed change in the human zeitgeist.
You don’t have the moral authority to dictate morals to the human species, nor have I, neither the climate scientists.
“As for ‘control’, well all sane, rational and life-affirming systems, cultures and societies do all they can to preserve Life on Earth and human existence as a categorical imperative, an Absolute Good, and the forces that seek, through disinformation, misrepresentation and outright mendacity, to force us not to address anthropogenic climate destabilisation, are very plainly acting contrary to that absolute imperative.
There is no scriptural, religious, philosophical or spiritual ‘absolute imperative’ anywhere that enforces a responsibility for the continuance of the species on any of us. It does not exist. Our mere lives on earth gives us vision only to perhaps great grandchildren and no further. The closest is ‘be fruitful and multiply’ and ‘be kind to your neighbor’ and said in various ways in various religious paths. Furthermore there were species extinctions historically on our planet. Some froze up immediately with their broccoli still between their teeth ;.) and we are still digging up the corpses.
Time we grow up. Its the Benjamins Baby. (This video does not really talk much about Donald Trump despite the header)

My God-Tavistock!! Dear me-there goes 200 years of climate science and millennia of moral philosophy and theology. Your assertion that ‘There is no scriptural, religious, philosophical or moral ‘absolute imperative’ that enforces a responsibility for the continuance of the species on any of us’., is, for me, a very deeply odious psychology and worldview. The assertion that we have ‘vision’ only to ‘perhaps’ great grand children, may be your ethos, but it is not mine, but at least I am beginning to understand the wellsprings of your fanatic denialism a bit better. The perjorative allusion to ‘broccoli’ gives a lot away.
It may be odious but it is of course true. And of course, there is a continuation of the tavistockian control model, trying to insult the ethos of another – that you know nothing about. What that piece of odiousness does, is that it leaves me free to pick up my own moral burden, and not yours, no matter how hard you try to impose. Broccoli? Humor is non-existent in the climate change wars.
Making light of the anthropogenic climate destabilisation cataclysm, with snide reference to broccoli to denigrate environmentalists, might be your idea of ‘humour’, but it’s not mine.
overpopulation, degraded soils, acidified oceans, air pollution, human minds polluted with propaganda, species extinction, poverty …… and more. technology will make little (if any) difference to our future (if any).

Swell; meanwhile 5g is going to kill us all.
Maybe, but your sources???
The New York Times said the same thing about electricity.
It would create so many fires that Manhattan would burn to the ground.
My honeysuckle and the bees: gradually fewer and fewer come each year. But to second Amarynth’s apt point about life as a dynamic ever changing system with variable knowns and unknowns, the hummingbirds have stepped up their visitations.
This climate fear campaign to spook the human psyche is another distraction
from the poisonous social /technological systems which are the true source of peril for humanity. We must keep our eye on the ball. The fires in California ?
Again PG&E comes through with a sparking long distance transmission line—and this after they shut down local delivery linesfor those pesky residential consumers . The fact that the state of transhumania has cut back its brush and fire abatement programs has nothing to do with global warming nor does the fact that the rich developers are allowed to build wherever with whatever and without a heed to fire prevention or even flood plains.
I agree with Amarynth. We need to do careful information gathering. So called scientific methods can be fudged, swayed or outright falsified. ( Piltdown Man, anyone?)
And especially in academia alternate views can be banned for heresy. Or sometimes it is just cowardice.
One day the FBI came to visit a group of professors during the 1950’s when my father and others had collected local strontium 90 and Cesium 134 readings upwind from the Utah above ground testing. Everyone scattered seizing their data and fleeing even after my father held his ground calling his lawyer and throwing them out.
The powers that be these days want us running scared and stupid.
Only someone with real problems comprehending reality is not fearful of the future that anthropogenic climate destabilisation has in store for us-or even right now as droughts, floods, mega-cyclones and megafires increase in numbers and intensity. Just ask the insurance and reinsurance companies, or are they part of the Great Conspiracy?
Insurance conspiracies, like reinsuring your buildings for tripple indemnity, against aerial attack, litterally months before it happens………..no insurance conspiracy there, move along, nothing to see, right. If you believe insurace companies don’t play the game……………..well we are all intitled to believe what we want.
And I’m speaking of due dillagence, as in, “so, Larry, you really think you need three times the insurance because some planes might hit all your buildings, at the same time………really Larry, ok, I suppose.”
Always remember insurance companies work hand in hand with the money lenders, many being owned by, the money lenders.
Certainly insurance corporations are typical capitalist crooks, but they still do business. When they state that, even with their habitual chicanery, that they can no longer insure people because of the growth in weather and climate disasters and claims, it would be truly foolish to simply ignore those factors that are making their business model, corrupt as it is, untenable. It takes another bout of self-hypnosis and reality avoidance.
Can you get insurance in time of war, undeclaired war, as in weather warfare? I, were I an insurance broker, would not be insuring anyone. The insurance industry calls severe weather damage, an ‘act of God’ and they will not insure for that (where planes hitting buildings, is human error). Humans are quite capable of manipulating the weather, have been since late 90’s. Simple question, are you aware that humans (chinese do it quite regularily, also have read stories from Aussies that have watched weather systems approch then dissapear after the ‘planes’ show up and start spraying) can and do manipulate the weather? Now, were I a five eye guy and wanted to test my new weather manipulation tactics, I’d practice over Austraila, kinda like injecting blacks with siphilus, not telling them and monitoring the results till they die. Five eye guys, you just gotta love em. The Pentagon has openly stated they’d like the ice gone from the north so they can harrass Russia at will (and secure the oil……..lol). Lucky bastards, they just had to wait for the CO2 to rise, dummies!
I have it from impeccable sources that the ‘tavistockian type’ climate change memes and propaganda was first tested in Australia, from the perspective that the population was relatively ‘innocent’, open for zeitgeist change, and that the first tests would go ahead without much opposition – and much data could be gleaned – so, it could on the long term be used, refined and propaganda could be fine-tuned for other markets. There was also a sense of ‘something must be done’, and ‘something is wrong’ just showing green shoots, which is a superb test bed for changing human perception and shake up the idea that we are actually good enough to find the errors. We can see it in nature … a young plant can be bent, espaliered or led to grow where we want it to grow.
I know that these guys are good, they can make hot cold, and make cold hot in perception. There is a reason why I left that ‘industry’.
The tests in Australia are considered successes.
Climate change has been known as a reality in Australia for decades. I was educated in climate science and the greenhouse effect in high-school science forty years ago. The only ‘memes and propaganda’ tested in Australia were the lies and disinformation of the fossil fuel financed denialist industry, pushed with fanatic, omnicidal, zealotry, by the parties of the Right and the fakestream media, particularly the Murdoch cancer.
sean, humans have been ‘manipulating the weather’ since we settled down to agrarian ways of life, and began growing our population, cutting down forests and grazing animals. We certainly have done so since the Industrial Revolution when we commenced pumping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, and growing the economy and human population at break-neck pace, and polluting the planet with every type of poisonous ‘externality’ imaginable. You don’t need no geo-engineering or HAARP or any other influence. Neoplastic economic growth have done it all.

Just one more post today re the unsung heroes behind the scenes of the whole disgraceful Maria Burina travesty of justice.
She very well could have been swallowed up to be further brutalized in the penal system had it not been for the timely arrival of the Representatives from the Russian consulate. I cannot stress that enough.
When a group of us young idealists were arrested and chained together in a back room of the jail and the guards were unzipping their jeans, I will never forget the moment and the look on the face of the young girl next to me ( she had gone quite grey) when someone burst in to say: “ those gals are politicals and their lawyer is demanding to see them.” If we were just poor with no lawyers????
Russia can be proud of her. Perhaps she went through a kind of quintessential baptism of fire a la ruse?
Dostoevsky was 28 when he landed up in Siberia after nearly being executed.
But since this is the 21st century,
I hope she writes “ 18 months in an American Gulag” sells it to The National Inquirer and makes loads of cash.
Any of us who know the system will recognize her truth.
Report Commissioned by Pentagon:
“U.S. Military Could Collapse Within 20 Years Due To Climate Change”

I dont believe that would curb the military, but what would would be no new recruits, reduce the armed forces to a navy for the limited, local, humanitarian concerns and a national guard for domestic concerns. The rest could just play video games as they slowly retire into obsolesence.
What?! Bringing facts to a nonsense fight?
I agree with James Corbett in his description of the killing or re-killing(s) of yet another Baghdadi. And the killing re-killing of the one who took Baghdadi’s place – a flaming pile of garbage.

Something I comprehensively, wholeheartedly and unequivocally agree with you….
Hopefully I can flesh out a rather crackpot idea that has lately been festering in my five dozen or so cortical neurons.
Given that the empire is a state of mind, there exists a shadowy group that manages the very real threats to this most tenuous, absurd and vulnerable –yes, vulnerable– of beings/entities. Known as the Mana Protection Unit (MPU), this group has been assigned with such sundry tasks as clandestine communications and is known for their motto: Trust the Plan.
I imagine that it all ties into this and that
Edward Snowden & CIA Climate Change
Edward Snowden believes the CIA is behind crafting the Global Warming theory to divert attention. He states
“I have documents showing that the CIA invented the whole thing,” claims Edward Snowden. “Global Warming was invented to both scare people, and divert their attention from other human-made dangers like nuclear weapons. The CIA gave millions of dollars to any scientist who would confirm the theory, so many unscrupulous scientists did what they were told in order to get the money. Now, there is so much fake data to confirm that Global Warming “exists”, that they actually convinced everyone that it was real.”
No one is protesting against the use of depleted Uranium 238 which has a half- life of 4.5 billion years. But instead the alarmists are protesting against CO2, which has the effect of greener vegetation. The ploy worked.
Global Warming is the Invention of the CIA, pdf
https://yadi.sk/i/9ykj0YIQQwm4kQ
a coincidence? Apparently Chemist and nobel price winner Svante Arrhenius (1850 -1927)( son of Svante Gustav and Carolina Thunberg Arrhenius) was one of the first ones to mention rising earth temperatures due to Co2
Thanks for the info bernie
Coincidence? No-normal intelligence and scientific curiosity.
Loony nonsense. Climate science began with the explication of the greenhouse effect by Foote, Fourier and Tyndall c 170 years ago, and c 100 years before the CIA was established. Scientists like Arrhenius in the 1890s correctly predicted the higher temperature increases at higher latitudes, but I suppose he had a TARDIS and was on the CIA payroll.
Your assertion, that no-one is protesting about depleted uranium, is incorrect, and a typically crude straw-man. BOTH depleted uranium and greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere are disasters. BOTH! And, in this paranoid fantasy, ALL the evidence of the climate destabilisation cataclysm is FAKED, apparently by the CIA. Denialism is really reaching its end-stage in outright lunacy, born, no doubt, out of fear, as California and Australia burn, the methane erupts from the Arctic Seas and mass extermination stalks the planet. If Snowden really said this garbage, then he is barking.
Perhaps not the theory itself, but perhaps the use of the theory to bamboozle the humans.

They have cameras monitoring every street corner in America. Why they didn’t have one on this character is beyond comprehension, or was that just politics as usual?

And, of course, it dropped out of the corporate media’s attention. In a country with a free press, reporters would have been all over this.

Actually there were 2 cameras monitoring Epstein.
At the time if his “suicide”, one was “down for maintenance”, the other inexplicably “failed”.

Sounds more like politics to me, conveniently down and typically failed.

@ Mulga Mumblebrain: Your perseverance in teaching climate science is admirable. I would like to remind everyone that Radio Ecoshock by Alex Smith is one of the best sites for learning climate science. He has been going for years and a lot of scientists talk to him.
One more thing on a personal note. I live in the Canadian Rockies just north of the medicine line and since 1976 I have seen much warming. Glacial retreating, etc. , etc. There is nothing like seeing glacial melt, warmer air, the migration of more warmth loving plants into previously cooler areas , etc. To hit home to a mammal with a short memory that it is indeed warmer. Combine this with years of listening to climate scientists and I have to concur with you that a time of tribulation is coming to earth.
I do think that peace is the most important thing because without it people will not be beating their weapons into plowshares as they should be. And really we should be using no till methods anyway.
The biggest joke on the prairies is when will global warming get here. Peeps been bleeting for years ‘oh it’s getting warmer’, in the Rockies? Apparently. But it ain’t happening here. In fact, the oppisite. That said, since mag north went on a walk about, and climate in certain areas has changed no one here has even mentioned the ‘possibility’ that the shift in mag north, from Baffin Island to somewhere out in Siberia has a conection to or is responsible for, erratic weather patterns. Considering, scientists at the moment, are at a loss to explain it.
And just to juxtipose ltb’s Canadian Rockies experience, in the mid 70s I’d travel from snow bound East Coast (NS) to Winnipeg to visit family during March Break. The best part was running around in shorts and tees playing soccer on the Fort Rouge soccer field, mid March (’74, ’75, ’76). Forty five years later I challange anyone to come and play soccer on the Fort Rouge soccer field, just remember, wear your long johns, a touque, and don’t forget your snow shovel and ice cleats
Thanks last-as you can see, no amount of science or personal experience, like yours, from others, will make the fanatic denialists change their minds one jot. It has something to do with mental ossification and the dread of being proved wrong. Omniscient beings, like denialists, cannot handle changing their minds, even if it means intellectual growth. That makes them so easily manipulable by the monsters of the denialist industry, the very worst criminal enterprise imaginable.

I have this one Chinese contact that I should ask what is happening on the ground but have not done so.
So, the association is word for word in obeyance, but if you read their media (in English) there are loads and loads of alternative views featured in articles both in Xinua and in en.people.cn and in Global Times.

China is fully on board with climate science, truth and rationality. The Government is doing its best to push renewable energy, electric vehicles and reforestation. It does, however, object to Western efforts to foist the cost of avoiding the climate destabilisation apocalypse onto the poor world, which opposition is deliberately misreported by the denialist industry as lack of commitment to the science. There are no denialists in the Chinese Government, if only because it is a meritocracy with no room for obscurantist, anti-science, fanatics.
Snow in Texas is possible, yes. In the USA the mountains run north-south, so warm and cold air can penetrate very deep into the continent. I remember that when I was in Texas years ago, and that was in January, it was 25 degrees C while Lake Michigan was frozen (we flew over it), and in Cincinnati (intermediate stop) it was also freezing.
Just for an idea of weather change in time (I studied this once for a design of outside storage), South Carolina is famous, but Colorado also has its fame, 25 degrees C temperature drop in 3 hours: http://mentalfloss.com/article/602955/denver-record-64-degree-temperature-drop
Interesting to read that China is ‘full aboard the global warming claims’, and that there are no ‘heretics’ in the Chinese government. I guess this bold claim can be supported with links, literature and the like?
Because China is planning to install 226 GigaWatt coal-fired power plants the coming years: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-climate-change-china-coal/china-plans-226-gw-of-new-coal-power-projects-environmental-groups-idUSKBN1W40HS . That’s seems to be quite contradictory with this claim, isn’t it?
(I guess Australia is more than happy to trade the coal for that… )
Cheers, Rob
The figures on Chinese coal use are generally exaggerated by the denialist industry. However these coal-fired stations will be replacing older and less efficient coal-burners. The Chinese have promised to reduce the carbon intensity of their production, which is a start, if insufficient, but as usual they are over-achieving. The Chinese leadership are technocrats, engineers, scientists and the like, and they can read and understand scientific reports, hence no denialists. The absence of moral and spiritual corruption also helps.
At least China is starting to care more about the environment, and it’s about time. I have seen the smog in Beijing, and I can tell that I had seen before many pictures of this phenomenon, but when I saw it in reality I was kind of shocked – it looks like an immense sphere segment of yellow-brown fog over the city. It was common in the UK around 1900 in industrial areas. Life expectancy around that time was just above 50 years, though the developments in medical science plays a role too: https://ourworldindata.org/life-expectancy
I may suggest attention for another rather cynical issue in China.
Wind turbines are seen here in the west as clean, green and ‘renewable’, but in reality they work only 15-20% of the time, have a life cycle of only about 15 years, and generate an insane amount of waste when decommissioned: https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/wind-turbine-waste/ , and then I’m not even talking about the many tons of concrete underneath when not reused.
But the cynical part is the needed use of rare earth element Neodymium, that is needed for the magnets in the form of Nd2Fe14B. Neodymium comes almost exclusively from China, and the mining leaves large areas and lakes with carcinogenic and radioactive waste, just take a look: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/moslive/article-1350811/In-China-true-cost-Britains-clean-green-wind-power-experiment-Pollution-disastrous-scale.html
Now, that may get some attention?
I’m wondering whether people propagating ‘green’ energy, how noble their motives are, realize that people in China are literally dying for it, and that child slaves in Congo are digging up cobalt for their cute Tesla’s (when they don’t auto-combust).
At least China is heading for a better direction, that’s a start.
Cheers, Rob
Sure Rob … bold claims are not supported whatsoever – you just need to believe them. We could start trading them like carbon credits eh :-)
This is my sense of what is going on in China.
The Chinese focus is not ‘climate change’ as it is sold to us. The words or acronym AGW does not exist of in any of their literature that I’ve seen, and I read their agriculture. The focus is green development and creating agriculture and reducing poverty, using in many respects new science to do so. They do a mess of research, they have their own developed climate models and they test them ongoing and clearly states that long term predictions are at best ‘iffy’.
They say clearly that they will work with the world, but divide the issues into two categories, the one is common world responsibilities (i.e., what the other countries are doing) and the other is specific country situations (i.e., what they decide to do in their own best interests).
They also have 7 carbon trading markets, and with a recent formal assessment, they are questioning whether these are doing anything for the environment, and whether these are truly bringing in revenue and have just classed all 7 markets as not mature markets with underlying tone that these are not doing what they thought they would do.
They are surprisingly open with their own research, publishes much of it openly. Their full climate effort is integrated behind their green development, which is confirmed in just about every speech Xi Jinping makes.
AGW does not enter into the picture and they do not make that distinction in their writing and research. They do what they must do – they don’t try to evangelize anyone into any frame of mind, and they say that they will meet the 2030 climate emission standards set because it suits them to do so and they agreed. Hence the massive tree planting because they offset concept ‘carbons’ against concept ‘sinks’.
I have read a lot of the Chinese material. AGW does not exist (or after wide reading, I have not seen it or the concept even once). They simply talk about climate change and in that leaves it open to all and any directions, ie., regional changes, world changes, pattern changes, colder, warmer .. whatever …
and their experimentation and scientific efforts support what I say here, as they research the whole gamut themselves.
They have a number of interdependent climate centers, this one is just the Beijing one, clearly stated that the interest is interactions of climate change with society.
http://www.keaipublishing.com/en/journals/advances-in-climate-change-research/
Official journal of the Beijing Climate Center
“Advances in Climate Change Research publishes scientific research and analyses on climate change and the interactions of climate change with society. This journal encompasses basic science and economic, social, and policy research, including studies on mitigation and adaptation to climate change.”
The Beijing climate center has its own journal and it is here that I found their fascinating 500 year research on the interactions of climate change with society. This study announced .. warming is much more positive for society than cold, society thrives in warmer weather. This was also the study that they announced that the smallest real climate cycle that one could work with, is 500 years but they did put in a caveat – in the area that they studied.
So, it is true to say they don’t fall for the false dichotomy or polarity of AGW vs simply changes in climate that they at least consider can be normal earth fluctuations or that earth’s relative position in space has a clear impact or that solar activity plays a major role.
Perhaps we should learn something with all the proselytizing going on here.
Here is an example of regional research – doing their own thing, and their own testing – their own measurements.
http://www.cma.gov.cn/en2014/news/News/201910/t20191031_538746.html
They have also a climate center dedicated to Belt and Road activities. Here can be seen some of the work that they do.
“…. meteorological disaster prevention and mitigation and response to climate change in Central Asia, reinforcing interconnectedness, further promoting regional meteorological cooperation in Central Asia…”
http://www.cma.gov.cn/en2014/news/News/201910/t20191022_537986.html
The links in here can be used to follow just about everything I say here. There is a whole batch more but this is my assessment of what in essence is going on there.
– Their climate efforts are integrated into their green efforts, poverty reduction efforts, into their agriculture, into new research and design, engineering and production of new climate measurement instruments, even integrated into Belt and Road. This integration is very broad and I do not pretend to understand the details of it, but it is clear reading high level policy documents. (Btw, none of those refer to any manmade climate change).
– They do not use the term AGW in their literature and research all aspects of climate. I listen to some of Xi Jinping’s speeches and never has he used those terms.
I have seen though the words ‘climate evolution’ more and more used in the scientific studies. This is terminology which I personally like. This abstract of testing two of Chinese models use this term consistently:
And here is the support for this bold claim: https://www.scopus.com/record/display.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84883699723&origin=inward&txGid=0c9d72f323d4794607da53983e654648
The two models perform well in simulating the historical evolution of the surface air temperature, globally and averaged for China. … With higher horizontal resolution, the BCC_CSM1.1-M has a better capability in reproducing the annual evolution of surface air temperature over China.
– It does not look like there is much respect for research coming out of the west.
– They co-operate with the rest of the world, but saying clearly that they will act in China’s best interests.
To even attempt to use China and their activities in the incessant western AGW war is just silly and reeks of desperation.
I have 4 emails out to fraternals in China and also to a very old Chinese friend that I met on project many years ago. This man is bright as a button and we still share an email every now and again and he is still inviting me to visit and surely one day I will find opportunity to do so. We should soon have some assessments of what people think and experience on the ground.
There is not so much work available in English from Russia. China is seemingly making everything available for English and Spanish at least audiences.
The assertion that the Chinese Government and Chinese scientific authorities do not believe in the incontestable reality of anthropogenic climate destabilisation, or ‘AGW’ or some other magical initials so held in awe and contempt by denialists, is bunkum, pure and simple. The Chinese are making great efforts to do their bit, because they know that the current climate destabilisation is NOT some ‘natural’ process, but anthropogenic, and China stands to be a country much affected by climate destabilisation. If only through the disappearance of Tibetan glaciers, and the drying up of the Yangtse, Yellow and other great rivers.
Thanks, amarynth. I’ll have a look at your links, maybe get back to you in the weekend cafe.
That’s why the science is known best as ‘anthropogenic climate DESTABILISATION’, because while the inexorable rise in global average temperatures is IRREFUTABLE, the climate being dynamic and the globe very different from continent to continent and hemisphere to hemisphere, there are variations including cold events, hot events, dry events, wet events, cyclonic events, all of varying intensity and duration. The northern cold events of recent years have been explained, by real scientists doing real science, as the result of the amplification of temperatures in high latitudes (predicted by Arrhenius in the 1890s)the disappearance of Arctic Sea ice, the warming of Arctic waters by intrusions from the North Atlantic and warming boreal rivers, the albedo flip from white reflective sea ice to dark, heat-absorbing, sea, etc, all of which have contributed to the derangement of the jetstreams, that allow intrusions of warmer air into the north, and excursions of cold, Arctic air, usually kept in the high latitudes by polar vortices, into lower latitudes in the south. So cold weather in lower latitudes is explained by climate science, but the denialist industry, catering to a low knowledge audience, prefers misrepresentation and distortion, as ever.
Denmark Approves Russia’s Nord Stream 2 Project – Energy Agency
https://sputniknews.com/news/201910301077181531-denmark-approves-russias-nord-stream-2-project/
” “The Danish Energy Agency has granted a permit to Nord Stream 2 AG to construct a section of the Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipelines on the Danish continental shelf southeast of Bornholm in the Baltic Sea”, the agency said in a statement.
Denmark is now obligated to “allow the construction of transit pipelines with respect to resources and the environment and if necessary to assign the route where such pipelines should be laid”, according to the agency.
Nord Stream 2 AG, the operator of the Nord Stream 2 project, has laid more than 2,100 kilometres (1,300 miles) of the gas pipeline to date and will begin preparatory work and pipe laying near Denmark in the coming weeks, the company said in a statement.
“Preparatory work… as well as pipe laying will begin in the coming weeks… To date, more than 2,100 kilometres of two pipeline legs have already been laid. Pipe laying has been completed in the waters of Russia, Finland, and Sweden as well as being nearly complete in the waters of Germany. Work on both onshore sections is nearing completion”, Nord Stream 2 AG said.
Earlier in October, Gazprom announced that 83 percent of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline — a 1,269-mile stretch in the Baltic Sea — had been completed, adding that the pipeline is expected to be completed by the end of this year.”

a beautiful quote of Carl Jung, with which I fully concur:
https://carljungdepthpsychologysite.blog/2019/10/29/carl-jung-the-ego-participates-in-gods-suffering/#.Xbn0_l_Qjct
“Human consciousness is the only seeing eye of the Deity…”, a very interesting statement. I’m sure he’s referring to the Imagination, as the medium or mode through which Creation is made manifest.
Human consciousness is, I believe, simply a manifestation of the universal mind.
Indeed, friend. And the Universal Mind is a manifestation of Divine Spirit, as there was a need for the education of Soul. Beginning with the simplest of life forms to the most complex, human beings. After many lifetimes of creating and reaping karma, Soul begins to accept that there are certain laws of life that govern Its existence, the greatest being the Law of Love, which in practice, is something like, ‘every man must first give love, if he expects to receive it’, etc.
If consciousness is universal, as I believe it is, I think that, by definition, it must be called ‘Divine’.
Consciousness is universal, and it is Divine.
“Consciousness is universal, and it is Divine.”
Could you say that in a way that makes any sense (to somebody other than god)?
Only love is Divine. Conscious being ‘universal’ explains the mess we find ourselves in, nothing divine about it, the opposite, imho.
mundanomaniac, you posted something before which may have been written by Jung if I remember. The letters, OSB were on it. The only reference I know of OSB is, Order of St Benedict. Then in passing I read somewhere that Jung contemplated joining the Seminary, but can find no reference to either. Do you know if either of these are true………….just curious, being a fan of Jung and his humanistic approch to life.

… Pavel’s Steam Locomotive …
Pavel, a retired mechanic and pipe-organ-maker, lives in a small town about 30km (19 miles) southeast of St. Petersburg. His personal railway is about 1.3km (0.8 miles) long, if you count all the branches, and has three bridges over creeks, the longest of which crosses a gap of eight meters.
The little engine is an original design rather than a copy of a professional locomotive of old. It measures about three meters (10 feet) long, weighs just over 800kg (1,800 pounds) and takes two-to-three hours to build up enough pressure to roll.

Volcano CO2 Emissions
Since the volcanic eruption in Iceland 2010 first spewed volcanic ash, in just four days, it negated every single effort made five years prior to control CO2 emissions on our planet. Sure it was a long time ago.
But there are around 200 active volcanoes on the planet spewing out CO2 and SO2 every day and 70% of all volcanos are beneath the sea.
When the volcano Mt Pinatubo erupted in the Philippines in 1991, it spewed out more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere than the entire human race had emitted in all its years on earth.
Mt Pinatubo was active for over one year.
The total atmospheric CO2 levels are out of our control. Sure CO2 is a green- house gas but our attention has been diverted from more important issues.
What is in our control is the banning of depleted Uranium on Weapons. Uranium 235 has a half-life of 700 million years and Uranium 238 is 4.5 billion years.
I would like to see ocean oil drilling banned because of oil spill pollution. The BHP disaster should not have occurred. You just can’t trust industry to do the right thing. At the time it occurred I thought that incident would have ended ocean life on this planet, and still may.
I would like to see Natural Gas fracking end. It pollutes the water table.
I would like to see the banning of Fluoridated water. Fluoride is a poison and nothing else.
We have suffered two major Nuclear power station melt downs resulting in nuclear pollution. Any chance of man-made nuclear pollution should be forbidden at all cost. The planet can’t continue to absorb nuclear pollution. The planet should not be a garbage dump for nuclear waste. When radioactive substances are extracted from the earth the genie is out of the bottle. It will migrate to where it wants as containment is only short lived compared to its half-life.
I would like to see environmentally friendly energy efficient technologies developed and funded by industries, and not by our Government’s tax payer dollars which will be retailed back to us. I believe it is important to move out of the burning of fossil fuels at the pace industry can afford. Oil is a valuable resource for rubber and as a lubricant and should not be wasted.
I am totally against the use of HAARP where huge amounts of energy is pumped into the ionosphere causing the atmosphere to repel further into space, then rebound causing earthquakes.
There is a chance if things go wrong, the planet could lose a significant amount of its atmosphere, if it is repelled into space and does not return. The weaponization of our atmosphere should end. This includes Chemtrails. It includes the dispersion of a whole range of reported substances, secretly into our atmosphere and falling onto the unsuspecting public.
I would like to see the end of genetically modified food known as GMO as it is a threat to existing plant and animal life.
This is my tall wish list and it’s time to be a realist and stop worrying about CO2 levels. The increase in plant life and photosynthesis will eventually bring CO2 levels into balance without the worry.
There are many ways to end life on this planet sooner and more effective than man-made CO2 emissions. Mankind specializes in destruction at a profit. Go forth and care about what matters.
I can add my name to this .. and raise you two :-)
The pouring out and spraying of poisons on our agricultural earth and on our food must end. I am not against laboratory created soil additives, but the toxicity being pumped must end on our earth and in the waters.
Weapons industry must be focused on defensive weapons only. Any and all offensive weapons, soldiers, lily pads of offensive action stationed outside of one’s own territory must be drawn back.
All very praiseworthy and with which I concur, but pointless if anthropogenic climate destabilisation is not reversed.
Censored AGAIN. The anthropogenic emissions of CO2 surpass those of vulcanism by sixty times. It was thought to be about 100 times, but recent research has shown that seepages of CO2 from non-erupting volcanoes must be added, so now it is ‘only’ by sixty times ie 6000% that the above assertion is incorrect. But what, pray tell, are ‘facts’ to the denialist cult?
Feel free to provide supporting information. If not it is hearsay and not fact.
The mystery of this Russian radio may have been solved …
but if its fans are right, let’s just hope that drone never stops.
It is thought to be the headquarters of a radio station, “MDZhB”, that no-one has ever claimed to run. Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, for the last three-and-a-half decades, it’s been broadcasting a dull, monotonous tone. Every few seconds it’s joined by a second sound, like some ghostly ship sounding its foghorn. Then the drone continues.
Once or twice a week, a man or woman will read out some words in Russian, such as “dinghy” or “farming specialist”. And that’s it. Anyone, anywhere in the world can listen in, simply by tuning a radio to the frequency 4625 kHz.
… extracted from … “MDZhB” has been broadcasting since 1982. No one knows why …

Trick or treat??!!
One can see where the epithet ‘pumpkin head’ came from.
And I am back again to announce big defeat of Turkish lobby. American congress finally voted to recognize the genocide of our Armenian brothers. The vote was a big success as the results were:
405 for recognition
11 against recognition
3 “sat on the fence”.
The video is short, some in English mostly in Greek
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxC-_MHLMB8
Very important for anti-genocidal movement.
This video is in memory of more than 100 years since the genocide occurred (Euronews in Greek).

Next month will be even worse for Turkey!
Gobble, gobble.
But American Congress were turkeys before……and still are.
When the nation of Turkey no longer serves Imperial interests…..so….they….. US Congress….now carve Turkey and serve it.
Armenians are disinvited when Turkey is serving their interests…but finally given an honored guest invitation to the table when Turkey is being carved and served………..for no longer serving them.
Still, it’s been a long, long wait for the invitation.
I used to live in Glendale, Ca.
One of the largest cities of the world with the most members of the Armenian diaspora……….
God help us, when the “American Congress” has been elevated to a kind of Caesar-like status, where lives are either given or taken according to an American ‘thumbs-up or down”. For the record, it was the Greek lobby in the US, who paid a sh.t load of money to the Clinton admin. at the start of the ’90’s, who imposed the name-change, on Macedonia. This, in flagrant violation of the UN Charter, etc. so that Greece could ‘patent’ the name Macedonia, and so complete a century of cultural/physical genocide.
As with everything in the US political asylum, recognition of the Armenian genocide depended on Zionazi acquiescence. When Turkey was at loggerheads with Israel, ‘recognition’ was threatened, but generally the Zionazis prefer denial because ‘recognising’ any other one of the scores of historical genocides risks threatening the ‘unique’ importance, significance and pseudo-religious role of the ‘Holocaust’. There are Jewish Holocaust museums all over the USA, but not to the victims of the Holocaust of the Native Americans, and it is a similar position in regard to all the other Holocausts, and in academic writings, popular fiction and movies etc, etc, etc. Only the suffering of ONE group matters.
Personally, I have great respect for the Turkish people, and in my experience, Greeks are a far more fanatic, insecure and fundamentalist people. For example, during 500 years of occupation, Ottomans allowed the native Macedonians to survive intact, unlike 100 years of “Christian” Greeks, who have done everything to wipe the Macedonians from the face of the earth. The legendary Greek insecurity precludes any acts, even the smallest, of Christian charity toward the Macedonians.
So, a question for ‘anonius’, who appears to have an abiding interest in the subject of genocide; what makes one genocide acceptable, and another not acceptable?
Do you know why Jehovah’s witnesses and Mormons do not celebrate Halloween?
Because they can’t stand strangers knocking on their doors and bothering them.
How to define the attitude of the young people today toward adults, one word: contempt.
The adults are destroying the earth and don’t care, and the youth feel a contempt and simmering rage. Furthermore, all their teachers and role-models fully support their anguish, and nurture it, coddle it, help to direct it at authorities. Theirs is the right way, the truth is with them, they must win or everyone loses, and all against, and all who are not like them, are enemies of the earth, a virus and plague.
This is the spirit of the day. The spirit is not new, it is the same; the new, is the scope, the scope is worldwide, literally a force to unite the whole world, to unite the world to save it. There is no question as to how this will happen, only soon, because it must; there’s no question as to who will be leading us into that brave future, but the hope that the world will receive the rulers it deserves; there’s no thought as to how the plague will be quenched, except that it must die, so the right people can live.
Behold, the devil walks naked into human history!
very interesting. first ruin and dumb down a generation, then appeal to to the young to save the earth.
youth care, deeply, you cannot kill the eternal good, only sour it, seed poison and confusion, but it will rise up in some way or form, like nature it is resilient. contempt, naked contempt in all its forms, and the bare devil in all its forms, grinning and mocking. hideous, painful.
When sufficient numbers of people, particularly the young, wake up to the fact that they are going to die young, prematurely and in ghastly fashion, because of an ecological Holocaust forced on humanity by capitalism and the parasites who are its only beneficiaries, there is going to be an explosion of rage unlike any in history. The Right’s usual resort to more lies, brainwashing, threats then violent repression will fail this time, even if they bathe the world in blood.

Ultimately it will take a much stronger republican house effort to stop Pelosi, Schiff, Nadler and their host of Lawfare contracted agents.
Simultaneously it would take a much stronger team in the DOJ fighting to retain the executive branch position.
Neither is currently present. Show me an action by U.S. AG Bill Barr to change the impression the DOJ is intentionally tanking the external fight and I will change my opinion.
However, so far the push-back from the DOJ has been very weak considering the stakes. [Too weak to be accidental] Thus my opinion: despite the strength of their constitutional position, the DOJ will fail to protect the office of the presidency.
It’s a gut-sense impression; but we should be able to get a better feel of DOJ motive from their approach toward the appeals court.
♦ That brings up the Senate trial. From a review of their signaling and positioning, it appears to me the objective of the Lawfare group, via the impeachment managers, will center around modifications to Senate Impeachment Rules and the use of a Senatorial Trial Panel.

The DNC and Deep State are moving with fanatic determination because Barr and Durham digging into the Deep State conspiracy to stop Trump being elected, then depose him when that effort failed, threatens to expose the real ruling power in the USA as never before.

There are People Wondering Why the Major Political Parties of the United Kingdom do Not want Brexit, except for Brexit in Name Only, either Secretly or otherwise.
We Know the Brexit Party Wants a No deal Brexit, but the Brexit Party would prefer to have Johnson’s New Deal Brexit, to the alternative of Brexit being called off entirely for the next 5 years, if a Remain Parliament is elected.
We Know that at the Previous Election, that the British Labour Party said that it wanted Brexit Lite, but we now Know that they Secretly were a Remain Party, and Continue to be are a Remain Party.
We Know the Influence that Hillary Clinton has on England, and they are the Christopher Steele dossier, Alexander Downer, and Ambassador Kim Darroch, and how these Secret Agents of England have worked toward have President Donald Trump impeached.
The British Conservatives Secretly Want there to be a Remain Majority in the next Parliament, and that is the Only Reason that the Major Political Parties Agreed to hold an Election, because they do Not want Brexit, and they Want the Voters to take the blame for that.
It may appear to some People that Germany was able to make the Better Bribe to the Major British Political Parties, than what Japan was able to do, if Japan did make an Offer for a Free Trade Deal with the United Kingdom, but Germany had Nothing to do with that, as I Explain in this comment, and that it was Hillary Clinton that made that decision.
This is Suggested by the Fact that the British Conservatives do Not want to help the Brexit Party win Parliamentary Seats.
However, the Real Reason is that Hillary Clinton does Not want Brexit, because it will give Many Votes to President Donald Trump.
This is the same Reason that the Democrat Controlled Congress in America does not pass Donald Trump’s Renegotiated NAFTA Agreement, because it Would create Many Jobs, and Hillary Clinton does Not want Donald Trump winning the next Election.
This is how the British Conservatives deal with the Brexit Party, Despite the Fact that the Brexit Party made their Contribution to Increase the Likelihood of a Leave Majority in the next British Parliament.
We Know of Theresa May’s Non Brexit, and we Know that the current British Prime Minister Voted for it, because he Wanted to gain Votes from his Party to become Prime Minister, before he ever would consider serving the People or preserving, or even strengthening Britain’s fragile constitutional democracy.
The Conservatives do Not want to play fair with the Brexit Party, because they Want a Remain Majority in the next British Parliament.
This type of behaviour is called by some British People that of being a Trougher by the British People, and it refers to Greedy Snouts at the Public Trough at https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-t5guBMLe6XI/UA2Na25OfVI/AAAAAAAAFbw/kTBrWe6hf4M/s1600/pigs_at_the_trough.jpg , but I do Not Think that Bribes, are the Real Reason for how the Brexit Party is being Unfairly dealt with.
Japan could Never Bid Higher than the Real Reason for this, which is for British Politicians to stay out of Jail, even as Jeffrey Epstein is out of Jail, and Yes, Jeffrey Epstein did Not kill himself, because he is Alive, and there are Many Epstypuppets or Secretly Filmed Puppets of Epstein, in the British Parliament at https://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/money-and-power/a28339290/royal-family-prince-andrew-jeffrey-epstein-relationship/ .
It looks like European Nazism was More Important than what Japan wanted, and this is Why the British Conservatives do Not want to play fair with the Brexit Party to try to have a Leave Majority in the next British Parliament.
The Nazi Countries of Euro America Also want British Contributions to the European Union to go to Ukraine in order to have Ukraine join Nazi NATO, that may cause WW 3.
We Know that the Only way that the Nazi Anglo America were going to help Nazi Germany and Japan after WW 2, was if they were Completely Conquered and Surrendered Unconditionally.
This is because Nazi Germany Only Craved, and Continues to Crave Nazism, and it can Only do that under the cover of the Nazi Anglo American Fourth Reich.
We Know that a tusk belongs to an Elephant, and the President of the European Union, Donald Tusk, made these things Known by saying the Nonsensical Lie that Russia was Not a Strategic Partner, but a Strategic Problem at https://www.lbcoaching.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/elephant-in-the-room-2.png .
There are People who say that John Swamp Bolton was Responsible for the Coup in Bolivia, and that he Prefers Hillary Clinton to be President of America, and he may have coached Hillary Clinton to use the Clinton Foundation and the Secret Films from the Lolita Express for that, and Hillary Clinton would like to become President of America, by saying that if Bolivia can have a woman President, then American can also have a woman as President.
We Know that the American Democrats were Responsible for the Coup in Ukraine, and Perhaps Ukraine might become a Confederation with Russia, and where Ukraine would have a Neutral Foreign Policy, or Constitutionally Not be allowed to join NATO, and have a Free Trade Deal with Russia, and Free Trade Deal with the European Union.
There Could be some People who think that if there is No Brexit, even the New Brexit Deal, then Perhaps Most Russian Companies Should leave Ukraine, in order to Delay WW 3, and give Euro America, who is Continental Europe’s Strategic Problem, the Burden of Paying for the Black Hole, and the White Elephant that they created in Ukraine, with their Coup of a Legitimate and Democratically Elected Government.
