I'm sure that a nice repressive Fascist state would take you in as a treasured citizen,

Why would you say such a thing? He & I live in a nice fascist state already. Soft fascism, but fascism notwithstanding. E'g.,try burning your brush out here and see what happens.

That doesn't make sense - you routinely describe CA as a Communist state........
Ain't really a difference. the Government controls everything

I'm not going to spend tghe money to transport my brush anywhere other than to the burn pit I have surrounding a black locust stump.
Yeah-you don't live here.

If it doesn't matter then there's nothing to complain about - meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

I know better that to live there!

I agree.

A whopping 3 degrees this AM, the low for overnight. Back up into the fifties next week!



Meanwhile, a nice crust of ice on everything.

9 degrees out now here in No. Va.

A good day to stay inside and work on models and in the home office!

Migrating to a new computer as well so there's a day just moving the files and getting everything into place.....

It's fossil fuels that are keeping Americans warm this week.

And no burning wood. Your wood-burning stove causes more climate warming than you might think ...

Here’s what my wife is dealing with.

I’m still Jim Miami Beach it’s chilly here also. 58 and overcast.

Oh, sure. Meantime it got down into the 50s last night.

And you put on a parka and muk-luks and complained,

We had 40s last night and I did complain. Bring back the 90s.

I seem to hurt less when the temperature is above 70.
So I hurt more when it is under 70.

I burn both, but if humans are indeed increasing the rate of climate change, it's not due to what we are doing or burning, but rather too damn many of us doing it. Overpopulation is at the root of most of our problems. Hell, even dumping human sewage in the ocean isn't a bad thing in principle. Marine mammals and fish crap in the ocean all the time. The old waste disposal adage is: "The solution to pollution is dilution". But dumping the sewage of the world's current coastal human population into the ocean is indeed a problem.

That only works when there are no limits to the potential dilution.

From The BBC and we know evrything they say is 100% correct.

Over population is a major problem but nobody wants to talk about it.....

America colonisation ‘cooled Earth's climate’
https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-47063973

Colonisation of the Americas at the end of the 15th Century killed so many people, it disturbed Earth's climate.

That's the conclusion of scientists from University College London, UK.

The team says the disruption that followed European settlement led to a huge swathe of abandoned agricultural land being reclaimed by fast-growing trees and other vegetation.

This pulled down enough carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the atmosphere to eventually chill the planet.

It's a cooling period often referred to in the history books as the "Little Ice Age" - a time when winters in Europe would see the Thames in London regularly freeze over.

"The Great Dying of the Indigenous Peoples of the Americas led to the abandonment of enough cleared land that the resulting terrestrial carbon uptake had a detectable impact on both atmospheric CO₂ and global surface air temperatures," Alexander Koch and colleagues write in their paper published in Quaternary Science Reviews.

Is there anything the patriarchal white people with special priveleges cannot do?

[rex desilets]

I agree.

Oh, sure. Meantime it got down into the 50s last night.

No muk-luks.
Like ol' rogruth, my many pains feel worse when it gets cold, unlike hardy young whippersnappers like Rufus.
