Forgetting that this thread on the old site was started by Andrew ... and whilst waiting for posts.
Thought for the day ...
When your only income is a Climate Science Grant
Every problem starts to look like an exotic gas.

When your only income is a Climate Science Grant Every problem starts to look like an exotic gas. It isn't just climate "science". It seems like every field of study is finding gravy in modeling and hypothesizing on how CO2 is causing bad things to happen. I think CO2 is the prime cause for Social Media which is certainly destroying life as we know it. |

I think CO2 is the prime cause for Social Media which is certainly destroying life as we know it. Not to be a low-life bigotted gutter critter or anything similar ... but I offer a testable hypothesis. In the interest of science of course. "Women are the primary cause and support for social media". Particularly Facebook. It's not their fault. They are just so much more social than men on average. Gossip was an industry long before FB. Once the telephone became affordably wide spread ... when instantaneous communication became "fait accompli" ... the game was lost. The whole World became their village. The pots and pans now ring across the web calling the warriors to assemble. CO2 is just another boogyman hiding in the darkness that threatens her offspring (or their replacements) ... and the latest household sanitation product or government program is marketed to erradicate. Hillary's "It takes a Village" was not an accident, as women will often choose a village. This is a testable hypothesis ... but me thinks that Kipling knew (http://www.potw.org/archive/potw96.html). I print merely the last half. She who faces Death by torture for each life beneath her breast
May not deal in doubt or pity—must not swerve for fact or jest.
These be purely male diversions—not in these her honour dwells—
She the Other Law we live by, is that Law and nothing else.
She can bring no more to living than the powers that make her great
As the Mother of the Infant and the Mistress of the Mate.
And when Babe and Man are lacking and she strides unclaimed to claim
Her right as femme (and baron), her equipment is the same.
She is wedded to convictions—in default of grosser ties;
Her contentions are her children, Heaven help him who denies!—
He will meet no suave discussion, but the instant, white-hot, wild,
Wakened female of the species warring as for spouse and child.
Unprovoked and awful charges—even so the she-bear fights,
Speech that drips, corrodes, and poisons—even so the cobra bites,
Scientific vivisection of one nerve till it is raw
And the victim writhes in anguish—like the Jesuit with the squaw!
So it comes that Man, the coward, when he gathers to confer
With his fellow-braves in council, dare not leave a place for her
Where, at war with Life and Conscience, he uplifts his erring hands
To some God of Abstract Justice—which no woman understands.
And Man knows it! Knows, moreover, that the Woman that God gave him
Must command but may not govern—shall enthral but not enslave him.
And She knows, because She warns him, and Her instincts never fail,
That the Female of Her Species is more deadly than the Male. |

I propose another hypothesis (based again on testable "fact") that there is a split in the ranks of the females of the species. Those with offspring are more likely convinceable that the social policies of the Left are a threat to their brood. Is their "lukewarm" support of globalist climate policies based on a perceived threat to their biological "charges"? That perception must be attacked and reversed. The policies of the Left must become the perceived threat ... which logic and fact suggest they are. Family women will not support social policies that they believe endanger their children. Women who have adopted Leftist ideas as substitutes for offspring are perhaps lost. If once the pots and pans start banging in great numbers against the Left, the battle may be won. The warriors will assemble to a different call.

When has it not been happening? Of course you are correct Sig, but he’s several levels below Greta in my esteem. |

This is the age of the Karens, but an interesting trend has been growing here in Tulsa and I think in some other locales- boys racing their cars and motorcycles on city streets and expressways at all hours of the day and night. I hear them if I am up at 3 am. They hit some crazy speeds and decibel levels. My own son has a souped up ride and I am trying to keep an eye on him too. I understand they compare notes on 'TikTok'.
I think that it is a response to the current social situation as these young men have assessed it. The neighborhood females are aghast. "But it's a safety issue!"

Ahh for the good old days ehh Walnut? When the younguns would saddle up and ride off with a local warlord on a great raid. No silly motorized 2-wheelers or internet. If successful, they might drag home their part of the take, settle down, have kids, and tell stories.  |

I can do the face paint. But do I have to work all day with an entrenching implement?  |

Can you carry the 22 ft tall cross for a mile or two at least?
