@CandyMille69862 @JamesTate121 He is a nut job, but his comments on mitochondrial DNA is quite correct: there are no mitochondria in sperm because not enough room, and because the mitochondria are independent organisms, and would fight for dominance inside every cell!

@JamesTate121 I think it's really quite scary he is blaming strictly mothers for "challenges" children are facing. How does he intend to prove this?

.@SecKennedy: "I know what a healthy child is supposed to look like. I’m looking at kids as I walk through the airports today...and I see these kids that are just overburdened with mitochondrial challenges...and I know that’s not how our children are supposed to look."

@ChemPhysMajor @michaelshermer Transgenderism MAY be a mental illness, but it is more likely a dysphoria, which is a problem with brain wiring. We don’t know how to correct brain wiring, so the only solution is to find a way for the sufferer to minimise the dislocation, which MAY involve gender reassignment.

@michaelshermer Transgenderism is massively likely to emerge in people who have other mental illnesses. Because these are known to cluster and, of course, transgenderism is a mental illness. Therefore saying these are separate is inaccurate, as transgenderism is a manifestation of the rest.

Re school shooter Robin Westman's trans ID: A proxy (not primary) cause of violence: his gender confusion was a symptom of underlying mental problems for which he needed treatment. "Affirming" his desire to transition obviously didn't help. He was probably gay, possibly autogynaphilic. From his manifesto: “I don’t want to dress girly all the time but I guess sometimes I really like it. I know I am not a woman but I definitely don’t feel like a man.” “I only keep [the long hair] because it is pretty much my last shred of being trans. I am tired of being trans, I wish I never brain-washed myself." “I can’t cut my hair now as it would be embarrassing defeat, and it might be a concerning change of character that could get me reported. It just always gets in my way. I will probably chop it on the day of the attack."

@michaelshermer He/she appears to have been a tortured person who needed help which was not forthcoming. Is the help Robin needed even available 🤔

@michaelshermer The word is “proximal”, NOT “proxy”. Proximal means closest to in time or place. Proxy means a replacement for an original or real. Thus, a proxy vote is a vote someone is authorised to make on behalf of the person who legally holds the vote

@Del06146498Eric @JamesTate121 I have no problem with his belief about manmade environmental toxins, ultra processed foods, and too much grain-fed beef. My problem is with his weird &false beliefs about the efficacy of quack cure-alls and his opposition to scientific medicine. And hid gutting of the CDC!

@JamesTate121 Just because you don’t understand what he’s talking about doesn’t mean he’s off his rocker cellular inflammation is the root of most diseases and and it’s from environmental toxins and shitty processed foods try not being a partisan piece of trash

@riktheozfrog @davestewart3 Recent average temperatures have been measured by satellite. All measurements have been made in several ways, and the measurements correlate well.

I don't CARE about research and models, I want ACTUAL events that have occurred to make you think that global warming is both real AND a risk to mankind. People talk about how the temps have risen, but THIS is what they relied on back in the day, hardly a basis for an accurate determination:

Craig Kelly:🇦🇺Foundation for Economic Education
Why don’t you tell the full truth Malinauskas ? How about admitting that your mad rush to renewables has punished South Australians with not only the highest cost electricity in nation, but some of the highest costs in the world ? And why don’t you admit that South Australia relies upon coal fired power from Victoria to keep the lights on when the wind is not blowing ?
Peter Malinauskas@PMalinauskasMP

My Government’s position is clear. We will hit our target for 100% net zero electricity generation in South Australia by 2027.

@riktheozfrog @davestewart3 Actually, wrong! Average Atmospheric Temperatures have been measured by many other means, but for much of the last century, other methods that measure the temperature as a function of altitude in many parts of the world have been used to make the computation.

@riktheozfrog @davestewart3 Haven’t you seen the pics? I’ve also seen the results while snorkelling, but that is merely a personal observation that affirms the careful research of Marine Scientists that confirm Coral bleaching and Coral Death over large areas of the Great Barrier Reef, and recently, in WA.

@riktheozfrog @davestewart3 AND since no NATURAL processes can make temperatures changes at this rate, & it correlates with human releases of CO2 from fossil fuels AND theory, then we conclude that there is AGW.

@riktheozfrog @davestewart3 One ALWAYS “massages” large data sets 1) to remove outliers; 2) to weight some data heavier than others if obtained from better instruments; 3) by applying statistical methods to judge its fit to one or more hypotheses. Only the latter could be confused with “Massaging”.

@riktheozfrog @davestewart3 What part is BS? The equation that shows how a small increase in atmospheric CO2 can lead to a large increase in far IR radiation absorption & atmospheric heating, or that the increase is due to burning fossil fuels?

@riktheozfrog @davestewart3 The other way around is also true, before outgassing starts to become a significant factor, which BTW, is a cause for concern, since it is a positive feedback loop leading to runaway T & CO2!

@sunsungirly What a pity that from now on, it will be those with the most guns & money who run the country and where the POTUS violates the constitution and laws as he pleases because he has his bought people in every branch of governance, including the Supreme Court.

@riktheozfrog @davestewart3 3A. The sea level in the Solomon Islands and others in the oceans North and East of Australia have risen enough to poison fresh water supplies, and to cause more serious storm damage than heretofore experienced.

@riktheozfrog @davestewart3 2A. Keep in mind that because of ocean currents, different temperatures and temperature gradients, and differences in gravity, sea level changes vary from point to point over the globe.
