@Mr_Husky1 Fake as can be but pretty funny.

@Lilllipuce @DaniMayakovski @HartmannRock Revolting. Let's stop buying anything from the country and let them all die. Did I do that right?

@DaniMayakovski @HartmannRock C'est répugnant et profondément révoltant. L'exploitation des enfants dans les mines du congo, ou les filières textiles en Asie, est un fait connu de longue date. Ce qui n'empêche pas les idiots utiles du capitalisme de surconsommer au lieu de boycotter ces produits tachés de 🩸

Así es la esclavitud en las minas en el este del Congo, de donde sale más del 70% del cobalto del mundo, miles de esclavos diariamente extraen el mineral por apenas 2$ al dia para llenar los bolsillos a las multinacionales capitalistas. El capitalismo que no te enseñan, así es como se sostiene el nivel de vida y de consumo en Occidente, en estas minas al menos hay 40.000 niños esclavizados que pican piedra para que Apple saque 4 modelos de Iphone cada año.

@Fran00234593 @PeterDClack He might sound like an idiot but he's rich now. He's a con man.

@PeterDClack Al gore said we would all be under water by now, there again hes a fucking idiot

Any return to ice age conditions could trigger a crisis unmatched in all human history. Earth is still technically in an ice age and average global temperatures of around 15°C degrees are still much lower than the long-term global average of 16°C to 18°C A global warming scare has been running for 40 years, yet 10% of the world's total land area is still covered by glacial ice. From a human perspective, the combined land area of every town and city on earth is still only 3% of the total. Ice covers an area of 15 million square kilometers (5.8 million square miles), roughly a third of its full extent during the peak of the Last Glacial Maximum (26,000 to 19,000 years ago). This was the most recent time in Earth's history when global ice sheets were at their greatest extent. The Antarctic ice sheet is still the largest and thickest ice formation on Earth by far, reaching up to 4.8 kilometres (about 3 miles) in depth. It holds 90% of the world's ice by volume & accounts for around 85% of total global glacial ice cover. Antarctica spans roughly 14 million square kilometers (5.4 million square miles) and covers about 8.3% of the total land surface. Land area is only 28% of earth's surface. The oceans cover 72% to an average depth of 2.3 miles, forests cover 31% and deserts 33%. The oceans contain 86% of the global carbon reservoir and 91% of all retained heat energy; by contrast, the atmosphere holds a mere 1 to 2% of each. The past 40 years has featured a global warming campaign raising fears of an impending climate crisis, chiefly based on forecasts of soaring temperatures and a global climate crisis. However, the fact remains that the Earth is still technically in an ice age, with ice cover at both poles all year round. We still live in the Quaternary Glaciation, which has lasted 2.58 million years. The Quaternary Glaciation is a more severely cold extension of the Late Cenozoic Ice Age, which has lasted for 34 million years, since the time of the original glaciation of Antarctica. The chief causes were due to orbital anomalies (the Milankovitch cycles), the isolation of the Antarctic continent when Australia and South America shifted northward, as part of global tectonic changes. The last great ice age that was similar to today was the Karoo Ice Age (also known as the Late Paleozoic Icehouse), spanning approximately 360 to 260 million years. This is one of the five major ice ages in Earth's history. All modern human societies and every meaningful invention has occurred during the current Holocene warm interglacial period, beginning 11,700 years ago. The previous warm interglacial was the Eemian (130,000 to 115,000 years ago). Temperatures in the Eemian were also 2°C warmer than today and African megafauna and crocodiles lived in the Thames valley. The generally accepted average extent of ice age interglacials is around 15,000 years. So perhaps we should be considering our next move if the next glaciation comes early.

@Konverter22 @PeterDClack I'm not sure the Milankovitch cycles (orbital forcing) are really that important. Charts set to scale for comparison.

@PeterDClack I thought we were - according to Milankovitch Cycles - approaching the tail end of a circa 12,000 year interglacial period?

@PeterDClack Maybe it wouldn't be the first time. Maybe that's what sent humanity back to the caves long, long ago.

@MikeHudema They used to call that 'green energy' before people realized that carbon is what makes the world greener.

IKEA has installed 935,000+ solar panels and is on track for 100% renewable electricity. This isn’t a future idea. It’s already happening. We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy #renewables

@lakesdoglover @Electroversenet Nah. The oceans are the most stable, long-lived, consistent ecosystems on Earth. And they're only 1.2% of life on Earth, so they basically don't matter. It's life on land that deserves far more attention.

@Electroversenet I think this is an important reminder that marine ecosystems are complex and evidence must be interpreted carefully. Overfishing and ocean warming both deserve serious attention.

The Guardian claims ocean warming is causing a staggering collapse in marine life, but the study it cites actually shows the opposite. When a year is warmer, fish biomass is found to increase by as much as 24%. When years turn colder, biomass falls by around 15%. That is the observed data. To preserve the climate narrative, however, the authors then abandon real year-to-year results and switch to a modeled decadal trend. The model assigns warming a negative effect and reports a decline. That decline is not observed, it is modeled. The authors go on to admit they cannot separate temperature effects from overfishing, which is the primary, well-known driver of fish declines worldwide. Since fishing pressure is not included, the model loads losses onto temperature by default. Even though, as per the study's own data, warmer years mean more fish. The collapse exists only in the model.

@Electroversenet The primary gains are edge-effect gains which don't apply to general warming trends.

@SkylineReport Long term trends are certainly far better indicators of the future than heat waves are.

If you trust a weather model enough to cancel a flight, it's a little strange to call the same physics a hoax when it predicts what happens after decades of adding greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. 🌎🔥

@BladeoftheS 🤣🤣🤣 Please identify the trend(s) which support your conclusions.

Within the next couple of decades Global Warming is going to go from being a big problem to making large parts of the world where billions of people live unlivable. It will lead to mass migration on an unbelievable scale and widespread famine. We need to act NOW.

@eve_empal @CAGWfool @medialens You comments fail to recognize that the identified carbon has been adopted into fast carbon cycles resulting in larger carbon cycles, more life, and no idle 'buildup'. Plant growth rates are accelerated by elevated CO2 levels.

@CAGWfool @medialens The proof is the carbon itself. Burning fossil fuels releases C-13 isotopes. Atmospheric measurements show this exact carbon type is rising rapidly, proving the CO2 buildup is made by humans. C. D. Keeling et al. (1979) The Suess Effect: Carbon-13/Carbon-14 Interrelations.

As discussed in our alert (below), it's so easy to debunk these comments now: This is the classic 'the climate has always changed' argument. It's a favorite because it relies on a slice of truth to smuggle in a massive misconception. Saying humans can't cause climate change because climate change happened before humans is like a detective looking at a burned-down house and saying, "Well, forest fires caused by lightning have been happening a wee bit longer than matches, so this arsonist couldn't have done it." Climate scientists have never claimed that the climate was static before the industrial revolution. In fact, understanding past climate change is exactly how we know greenhouse gases are so dangerous today. medialens.substack.com/p/invitation-t…

@medialens You're right. This is definitely our fault.

@FlerfWatch Reminds me of some other theory of relativity to light...

Heliocentric model: backed by 480+ years of relentless evidence, math, predictions, and observation. Flat Earth: backed by unemployed losers & grifters with zero working model, zero predictions, and zero evidence. Which one would you trust?

@morshaa1 @MauriceMur4768 @BladeoftheS The long residence time of CO2 in the atmosphere is 4 years. The median average time is 2.4 years. Removal from fast carbon cycles is 50% in ~30 years. H20 has twice the the total heat retention of CO2 at present levels. CO2 is increasing ~0.7% per year, humidity ~0.2%.

@WormsofWrath @MauriceMur4768 @BladeoftheS half of which is directed back down to earth as heat. You are also correct that H2O is the most dominant greenhouse gas but, CO2 is the largest contributor to global warming, due to its sheer volume and long lifespan in the atmosphere. 2/2

If there are rats in your house they are hungry. So you feed them. How much will you feed them before they are economically independent? How many rats will there be before they are economically independent? How many will there be before they eat you? There is no intelligent reason to let them in nor to feed them.

@WormsofWrath @Redskinrex @SkylineReport What do you suggest we do Starve just the already starving nations? Water is currency. When global warming dries up all their sources of water where do you think the impoverished nations go to? No walls will be high enough.

Climate change isn't a hoax. If the Sun were causing the warming, the atmosphere would warm from top to bottom. Instead, scientists observe the exact fingerprint predicted by greenhouse gases: • Lower atmosphere warming • Upper atmosphere cooling • Oceans storing over 90% of the excess heat • Arctic warming faster than the rest of Earth Natural cycles can't explain that. Physics can. That's why the IPCC concluded it is unequivocal that human activity has warmed the atmosphere, ocean, and land. The debate ended years ago. The emissions didn't.

@MilesTaylorUSA Great! Drain the swamp!

Yesterday Donald Trump tripled the size of his personal political army inside the government. Illegally. And almost no one noticed. Here's what happened: He signed an order converting ~8,000 of the most senior career officials in government into employees he can fire for any reason, or no reason at all. These aren't rando's. They're the directors, chiefs of staff, and the people who write the rules or decide who gets federal money, i.e. the lieutenants right below his political appointees. Until yesterday, they answered to the law. Now they answer to him. A president normally gets ~4,000 political appointees. People he can bring into government and fire at will. I was one of them at DHS. You serve at his pleasure, full stop -- so if you're gonna speak truth to power, you're prepared to quit (or get fired if he doesn't like it). The rest of the federal government is PROTECTED from firing if they tell the truth. But Trump just stripped those protections. Adding 8,000 more people to his personal army. Overnight. Without asking Congress. With the stroke of a pen, those people now serve at the pleasure of the president. They're "his" people, whether they like it or not. And the chilling effect is real. An official who can be fired this afternoon for "subversion of presidential directives" (the order's own words) doesn't need to be hand-picked to know what's expected of him or her. The threat does all the work. By the way, this order is illegal. The law only lets Trump reclassify jobs when "necessary" in exceptional circumstances. And this blows an 8,000-person hole in the merit hiring / firing system created by Congress. Without permission, Trump has created a whole new category of stormtroopers inside the Executive Branch. If this doesn't get challenged in court, you're going to see the U.S. government become a very different place. Here's the full story: bit.ly/4dQN5N2
