@Oxymoron: I think I already had Disease-X, or at least something kinda’ like it.
Take vitamin-D.This idea that globalists / central banks / some special group everywhere disturbs me.
Is there no hope for the common man wanting to work hard and live his life freely?
What stupidity!
I simply don’t know.
Deception. Who is responsible? Who to …
CO2earth reports atmospheric CO2 measured at Mauna Loa::
Mar. 13, 2024 424.52 ppm
Mar. 13, 2023 420.01 ppm
1 Year Change 4.51 ppmThe increase over the year-ago level is both shocking and unsurprising.
It is shocking because there is a recent set of results with exceptionally large* year-to-year increases;

An interesting exercise is to take the above increases in the context of the ‘upper limit’ for safety of 450 ppm, which was announced in the early 2000s.
450 ppm minus 425 ppm indicates we have just 25 ppm ‘wriggle room’ before we break through the so-called safe upper limit, and adding at CO2 at the current rate will result in the 450 ppm being breached in five or six years, i.e. around 2030.
If positive feedbacks have been triggered (and there is evidence that have) then the annual increase will be even greater, i.e. 5 ppm or 5.5 ppm or even 6 ppm per annum, giving us just 4 years before the 450 ppm level is breached.
None of this dismal scenario is at all surprising since practically all the policies promoted by governments around the world are predicated on burning more fossil fuels, and all the so-called mitigation strategies are either scams that are completely ineffective or ‘creative accounting’ scams that actually increase overall CO2 emissions.
We have to wait until the beginning of June to see how badly we have done this CO2 increase season -June marking the point when photosynthesis temporarily overtakes emissions, and atmospheric CO2 declines for a few months. .
Joe Biden : Not since President Lincoln and the civil war have our freedom and democracy been under assault at home as they are today,
He was right about this one. What he didn’t mention was that the federal government won and freedom and democracy lost.
In the early 2000s there was much discussion about the global peaking of oil extraction and the subsequent decline, and the effects that decline would have on industrial societies.
In practice, ultra-low interest rates (junk=rated loans) and improved technology facilitated a fracking boom which ‘kicked the can down the road; for another decade or so.
As I understand it, conventional extraction morphed into bumpy plateau between 2007 and 2019. reclassification of condensates and tar sands extraction as oil obfuscated the real state of affairs. Some analysts insist that the peak occurred 2019.
We are clearly at, or very close to, the inflection point for global oil extraction, facing the prospect of diminishing supply in the near future. Almost no one is talking about this, though Tim Watkins as The Consciousness of Sheep has made several references to North Sea oil being what got Britin out of the crap in the 1980s, and hte fact that North Sea extraction peaked in the early 2000s.
Not many commentators link the goings on in Ukraine.to the desperation of many European countries to get access to Russian oil,
…..’Despite its apparently small increased power compared to coal – around 10 megajoules per kilogram – the additional power provided by oil shaped the modern world. But its high points – sending men to the Moon, commercial supersonic flight, transplant surgery, microprocessors, etc., – are half a century or so behind us. Indeed, look closely enough and you will probably notice that a good deal of the built environment from those days is falling apart.
Oil, it turns out, came with the same issues as coal. It is a finite resource (at least on any practical timescale) which has been developed on a “low-hanging fruit” basis… starting with the cheapest and easiest deposits then moving on to the difficult and expensive. And yet all the while being expected to meet the demands of a rapacious debt-based financial system for permanent economic growth. So that each additional unit of energy that has to be invested in recovering the more energy-expensive oil is a unit of energy no longer available to be converted into profit and interest repayment by the corporations and the banks…..
Welcome back, AFKTT. I hope you and your South Island homestead are doing well.

🙂Israeli Official Says US Trying To Overthrow Netanyahu As Sen. Schumer Calls For New PM
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/senior-israeli-official-suggests-us-trying-overthrow-netanyahuThey added that “Israeli citizens, and not anyone else, elect the prime minister. Israel is not a protectorate of the US but an independent and democratic country whose citizens are the ones who choose the government.”
The statement followed the annual “threat assessment” compiled by US intelligence agencies, which was released on Monday and questioned Netanyahu’s hold on power. Below is what it said:
“Netanyahu’s viability as leader as well as his governing coalition of far-right and ultraorthodox parties that pursued hardline policies on Palestinian and security issues may be in jeopardy.”
It continues, “Distrust of Netanyahu’s ability to rule has deepened and broadened across the public from its already high levels before the war, and we expect large protests demanding his resignation and new elections. A different, more moderate government is a possibility.”
While Netanyahu may not be personally popular among Israelis, his policies are. “Israelis repeatedly show a historically low level of confidence in the prime minister, while support for his Likud party keeps dwindling,” Ksenia Svetlova wrote for the Atlantic Council. “At the same time, it’s also clear that the general public in Israel supports Netanyahu’s policies… about two-thirds (63 percent) of the Jewish public do not support Israel agreeing in principle to an independent and demilitarized Palestinian state.”
Meanwhile on Thursday US Senate majority leader Charles Schumer has called for a ‘new PM’ in Israel:

Welcome back, Afewknowthetruth

Wow, that sounds like a LOT.
The wokeist-“environmentalist”-“experts” have been caught lying to us over and over for many years, but let’s just go with your highest claimed figure.
“5.31 ppm increase” You are claiming shock and alarm at a 0.000531% change
Five Ten Thousandths OF A percent.
If you had any scientific inclination, you might have some care for significant digits and roll off your numbers at, idunno, maybe the One Hundred Thousandths OF one percent.

0.000531% change is the biggest you can drum up EVEN with nobody being hard on you to get the science on that.
CO2 followed rather then led (actual real major not minor) historical temperature increases it did not lead them. You’ve been asked to speak to this who knows, hundreds of times now and have never done it.
CO2 was much higher during re-glaciation periods as well.
CO2 was much higher during times when the earth was covered in verdant life.
You propose that earth is teetering on the brink of turning into Venus due to a runaway feedback loop, but when shown a chart with 40 previous periods of alternating interglacial/re-glatiation in which temperature spiked higher, you cannot answer why you aren’t already dead 120,000 years ago well before you were born.
Dead people cannot type posts to the internet, and as you propose that you were never born by your own belief, you prove your belief wrong by typing and posting.
And of course, your belief is religioius-ideological, not scientific. But instead of openly and honestly fighting your corner you evade, ignore, divert. When pressed by contradictions, you insist on “conditions!” that have an inevitable progression. That ain’t science, that’s Marxism exactly.
Anway, welcome back and let’s have a discussion.
