    "The 'defactualization' of America." - Ukraine as mirror. by Patrick Lawrence

    Recommended as a "must read" by Cynthia Chung (Matthew Ehret's spouse), it helped me understand just how far we have devolved into fantasizing children.

    This majority — and it is almost certainly a majority — has no thoughts or views except those first verified through the machinery of manufactured images and “facts.” Television screens, the pages of purportedly authoritative newspapers, the air waves of government-funded radio stations—NPR, the BBC—serve to certify realities that do not have to be real, truths that do not have to be true.

    This leaves us in a sad and very parlous place.
    :
    :

    Nine years before Arendt published her NYRB piece, Daniel Boorstin brought out The Image: Or, What happened to the American Dream, an unjustly neglected work. “I describe the world of our making,” he wrote, “how we have used our wealth, our literacy, our technology, and our progress to create the thicket of unreality which stands between us and the facts of life.”

    The press, as you can imagine, did not escape Boorstin’s scrutiny. “The reporter’s task,” he wrote memorably, “is to find a way to weave these threads of unreality into a fabric the reader will not recognize as entirely unreal.”

    This is our condition. The Ukraine crisis is the mirror that reflects us as we are.
    Covid was also a mirror of this same condition.

    We see here in this forum what happens when a person from this unreality attempts to converse with those who reject it. The same is happening every day in the real world.

    Of course. Canada just showed them everything they needed to know about what people will do when authority pushes them. It's just started.

    Example: if all hydrocarbon fuels are formed over millions of years of entrapping organic material in the Earth's crust, why do we assume reintroducing these entrapped carbon atoms into the atmosphere will do anything but add it back into the biological carbon cycle? Do "the models" account for this? If it was all available previously, why was there no "runaway" warming when the atmosphere was 1800-3000 ppm CO2?

    I'm not being pithy or smarmy. They're legitimate questions, and from my layman understanding it looks like there would be a massive greening effect. That's it -- more living things.


    Never believe a model.
    They are legitimate questions. The Earth had atmospheric CO2 levels of 1800-3000 ppm hundreds of millions of years ago when carbon emissions (decomposition, volcanic activity) were significantly greater than carbon sequestration (sediment burial, plant capture). Why there was no "runaway" warming? Who knows, perhaps the Sun's temperature was less than it is now or the Earth's orbital cycles were different. It was a really, really long time ago. Today, in addition to decomposition and volcanic activity, we have human sources of carbon emissions that tip the emissions vs sequestration imbalance further towards the emissions side, driving an increase in atmospheric CO2. Ice cores from Antarctica provide a record of atmospheric CO2 levels going back 800,000 years. For almost that entire millennia, atmospheric CO2 levels ranged from 170-300 ppm. In 1950, we were at 310 ppm. Today, we are at nearly 420 ppm.

    Fossil fuels are essentially concentrated solar energy. They are the end products of the effects of sunlight producing biomass over millions of years. Sunlight itself is obvious not dense enough a source of energy to use to deliver your pizza, so we use its concentrated form -- hydrocarbons.

    Much more importantly, extremely extensive glaciation occurred all over the planet in the presence of extremely high levels of CO2, 2000-6000+ppm. The relevant Wikipedia pages about "snowball earth" and the Cryogenian period have been rewritten to conform to the current CO2 dogma. But I assure you that not everyone believes that CO2 is the primary determining factor of the earth's temperature. And I'd like to remind you that "scientists" lie to keep their funding.

    Regarding this topic, what do you think is the best piece of information, that is easily veryfiable, that one could use in an argument with someone who just buys into the climate change propaganda with no information whatsoever? Like a regular person who tells you that EVs are better because "it's better for the environment" or that "co2 is bad because of global warming", shit like that.
    I too am incredibly ignorant on the topic, but I just simply don't trust mainstream propagandic science anymore when it's obviously nothing but a political agenda.

    Dr Tess Lawrie is a good woman!
    We told the WHO we don’t want its pandemic treaty – now what?

    I was always taught (before schools stopped teaching) the Sun was the primary source of the earths temperature. Back in the 1950's we used glass houses to trap the heat from the sun where the various "greenhouse" gases and the biggest "greenhouse" gas of all water vapor contained in the glasshouse enabled plants to grow. Not all scientists lie.

    How much has sea level risen at Barry Obama's house on the beach in Martha's Vineyard? Where does electricity come from?

    Unfortunately, I believe the climate hoax will far eclipse the covid hoax in terms of the masses of sheep who will follow the propaganda and the agenda with sheer outrage and hysteria directed at us "science deniers."

    Can't wait to hear the sheep telling me I "killed grandma" by driving an old Jeep with a gas guzzling V8 spewing out emissions into the atmosphere.
