You are a special kind of ignorant.

I think narrative doesn't mean what you think it means.

As far as my detector working... it seems to behave itself just fine when information comes in from highly regarded sources.

The same sources that told you the coronavirus vaccines would prevent infection? The science world has taken some serious blows to it's credibility lately.

 

[dik]

I've never said they prevent... the information clearly noted that they reduced the likelihood the infection would be fatal. The information also indicated that the likelihood of catching it was less. Sorry guy, you have to try harder.

brimstoner,

Just curious, do you know ironic metallurgist? You sound a lot like him, and both profiles show (Materials) and from Ontario, so I wonder...

 

[Guest102023]

Next time I replace my BS detector (it's getting to be more and more frequent), I will upgrade to a model with the Anti-Vax blocking feature.

[Tomfh]

Ahh yes, because observing that the rationale for vaccination was retrospectively altered when the vaccine failed to do what was promised makes you "antivaxx".

I've had all my vaccinations. I don't opposed vaccination. Yet I'm called anti-vaxxer for noticing the overnight revisions made to the commandments on the animal farm chalkboard.

Same as I'm a climate "denier" despite fully accepting that human CO2 emissions have warmed the planet.

Saw Tug's mention of being banned from the Pub, which is a forum I was aware of but never visited. So I googled it and found it had been removed by the new owners, who also commercialized the site (there went my last

space).

Hearing of the serious sh!t they are accused of (by ET veterans with handles I recognize), the total absence of moderation and decorum melting more rapidly than Antarctica, makes me wonder whether I really want to hang around. Non-commercial was the best feature of ET.

Thoughts?

Let's get this back to Climate Change issues.

SE Australia has had big bushfires since as long as records have existed, modern ones burn less land area but kill more people and burn buildings that weren't around in the 1850s for obvious reasons. So when people say they are the worst ever, they are a bit like the people who claim that the floods are the worst ever, because we didn't used to build on floodplains.

Hokie, you're asking the obvious question. They're kind of like Clark Kent and Superman. They never post together.

Honestly,. I don't know think they're they same person but do believe they both have philosophy degrees. There is something toxic in that major.

Brim, you do understand that decarbonization is a very commercial venture. Energy conservation is not.

Tug... you should be happy. There's more water around:

Yes Greg... and there's always been climate. Catch my earlier comment:

"An inquiry into the recent massive bushfire disaster in Australia has found the country should expect "worse" in the years to come.
The review - which looked at New South Wales (NSW), the worst-hit state - made sweeping proposals aimed at better preparing for future fire seasons.
The blazes began last August and burned for months, killing 33 people nationally and scorching vast areas.
The NSW state government said it would adopt the inquiry's 76 recommendations."

I wonder what the 76 recommendations included? Perhaps 'rake the forests'?

this train wreck is pathetic !

it's a shame we can't remember the title of the forum "Climate Change Engineering SOLUTIONS".

I figure we are doomed, whether it's climate change, indirect effects of climate change, or the argument over it.

I am reminded of MP's "Argument sketch" ...
"I came here for an argument.
No, you didn't"

another day in paradise, or is paradise one day closer ?

The following is opinion only, but is well crafted. I've mentioned that I have no idea of how this will really affect the earth. This article may be an inkling of what to look forward to:

To postulate a solution, first you have to identify the problem, and the severity of it. People don't seem to have a handle of the first part. There seems to be a huge disagreement about what the problem really is. Do you have an better definition of the problem? and, it just not the people.
