“ So if I publish another paper in a journal, maybe something about the microorganisms in the carposphere of Laccaria trullisata, I would expect unbiased peer review. But I pity any climatologist who tries to publish anything contrary to the global warming narrative.”
He’s talking about a mushroom variety

Correct, Laccaria sp. are mushrooms. They generally receive their nutrients from compounds that leech out of tree roots. In turn, they donate the same to the area around them, called the carposphere, where microorganisms thrive as a result.

I had no idea you were so interested in the microbiology of complex ecosystems, but now you have the short explanation. Meanwhile, my posts were about normal peer review on normal scientific papers as opposed to a subject that is highly politicized and worth trillions to SOME people.

I spend a lot of time on Rhode Island beaches and the dunes on Cape Cod never seen them but never looked for them either. We do forage and collect beach plums and rosehip for jelly preserves. Not that fond of rosehip jelly How did Rosehips Help Us Win the War? - Bangers & Balls

More likely to find them around oak and birch trees on the shores of a freshwater lake, I believe they are somewhat halophobic.

The last thing they want is for you to think for yourself. After all we have gone through it is amazing some blindly follow what the government doctors/scientists say. They wouldn't lie to us.?
Fauci did knowingly mislead the public. Instead of telling us, honestly, that we didn't have enough initial PPE to protect both medical workers and the masses and that those not in healthcare settings should only use the sort of homemade cloth face masks that successfully protected many of us as the pandemic went on, Fauci simply lied to us, assuming that his overnight 180 wouldn't erode public trust in his credibility.
The government treated the people like children. It seems a portion of the population is ok with that.

I may have survived Covid by not having the proper protection by improvising and being cautious till a vaccine was made available. Yes I was a sucker for the vaccine regiment several of my family and friends were not.

My wife and I visited Alaska and twice visited the Mendenhall Glacier. In the ten years between visits the glacier receded over 1 mile. In fact the visitors center in located in that newfound space.

Do not give me to much credit I had heard the term but had to look it up to refresh myself. In my previous life I worked for the Bell System during deregulation (1983) I had been involved with consumer products for DIY, phones, answering machines, telephone jacks although simple, instructions had to be dumbed down to eighth grade reading levels. In other words I don’t use compound or unusual words usually.

.................and all my Dahlias survive in the ground during winter these days.
30+ years ago, I would have lost the lot leaving them in.


So there!:spoken:

I bet you think there was a shooter on the Grassy Knoll to huh? :mornincoffee:

Not sure, I wasn't there. All I can say about that is that among people interviewed at the time and since, more people, including WWII combat veterans heard shots from the grassy knoll than from the book depository. But the really interesting part is that no one, NOT ONE of those witnesses were called to testify by the Warren Commission. Only those that heard shots from the 6th floor testified. Coincidence??? Oversight???? I don't know, I was 5 years old at the time

PS: your implication that I am some kind of conspiracy theorist nut job did not go unnoticed.

O...M...G!!! The place is called Tower MN...the "awhile back" you refer to was Feb 3, 1996....or almost 30 years ago. -60° below zero was the all-time low temperature ever set in the state of Minnesota on that date. And if you were going to quote statistics it has never even come close to that cold temp since.
And no.... in a town of 350 people in the dead of winter or any other time is or was there a "global warming conference" scheduled unless they were going to hold it a Bob's Amaco. I know....I was there at my lake home on Feb 3, 1996...and live there now.... (I think you just got exposed on the WWW):cryin2:

What makes me question the fear mongering over climate is that theres no corresponding angst over nuclear weapons that will give you a bad hair day in 15 minutes (sub launched). Is it because there's no money in it for the proselytizers ?

Actually, we did have enough. We had more than enough, and the manufacturers would've had no problem keeping up with demand. EXCEPT - hoarders gonna hoard. People were grabbing dozens of boxes off the shelves before the stores could say "only two boxes per customer." I worked at Publix when the mask stuff started, and I watched these people emptying out our store of masks, gloves, rubbing alcohol, aloe vera, chlorox, toilet paper, paper towels, hand sanitizer, ammonia, and every variety of Lysol product that we sold.

Then you could go on e-bay and Amazon and find out that individuals who'd hoarded it all, were reselling it for a premium. $100 for a box of nitrile gloves that sold for less than $12 in the pharmacy section of the supermarket.

But yeah - we had enough. We also had greedy people that Fauci hadn't counted on. He should have expected that human beings would be insensitive, uncaring, greedy animals whenever there's a crisis.

It's because individual people have no control over what the powers with the nuclear technology do or don't do. We DO have control over our own use of water, how much we waste, whether or not we compost, how much packaging we buy compared to how much food we grow ourselves. We have control over our own behavior.

Nuclear weapons terrify me. But I, as an individual, can't do ANYTHING about it. I -can- re-use my plastic bags, and support local agriculture whenever practical, walk or ride my bike instead of taking my car everywhere, etc. It's not much, for one person to do. But if everyone did even that little bit, it'd make a pretty big impact, overall.

Stacking the jury
 

draw your own conclusion

My favorite is the list of winners and losers in the aftermath of the assassination.

Losers:-----easy--- 173 people with some connection to the event dead, most from suspicious accidents or a violent "crime". A Cambridge Univ. mathematician used the available data of the victims' age, occupation and location to calculate the odds of this being a coincidence at 1 in 10 to the 34th power, or approx. the same odds as winning lotto on a single quick pick ticket 8 times in a row.

Winners:

Arlen Spector---author of the "magic bullet" theory---later US senator
Gerald Ford---member Warren Commision---later US president
Leon Jaworski--also on the commission--later famous as Watergate prosecutor
And my favorite, a young Dallas reporter who was one of the few to see the Zapruder film before it got locked away. Although we now know that film clearly shows Kennedy's head going back and to the left with the back of his head getting blown back onto the trunk of the limo, he reported that his head went forward as it would with a kill shot from the book depository. That winner----Dan Rather.

IF, I repeat IF there was a conspiracy, it would appears playing ball served people better than being on the "loser" list.

It's all about money.

The Weather Club can schedule these (and other) talks at other clubs and groups.

The Villages Weather Club

There are over 100 glaciers that are growing. They are listed at Weather Club meetings.

He testified to Congress that CO2 was the primary cause of Venus 900 F surface temperature. That was a lie - and he knew it - or he fell asleep during astrophysics class.

How many times do I have to repeat it-----Don't confuse the zealots with the facts, it spoils the taste of their Kool-Aid. :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

I am busy chugging--
Some of Glacier National Park's glaciers have lost as much as 80% of their size in the last 50 years | CNN

Well that sounds like a good time.

What about the other estimated 199,900 glaciers?

I know , Tal. We really should go back to 3 word sentences or even the nothing thread :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

More actual information. Dramatic Decline in Multiyear Arctic Sea Ice - Ocean Conservancy

Interesting. Sagan believed it then and every website I can find believes it today. Consensus may not be proof but it's a heck of a lot more convincing than unsubstantiated claims on ToTV.

You are right, but the climate change denier WEENIES don't want to hear it

Sorry, but the label "weenies" has already been taken and defined. Think of something original, and not what that moron Joy whatever on "the view" that calls it a "dee-nye-yah"

Michio Kaku is the Carl Sagan of the now. Wonder what his views on global warming are.

Official Website of Dr. Michio Kaku

You could ask him! He requests that you do it on Facebook. He probably has answers about Global Warming on there.

And I found this-- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnoJuQp8h3w

"Pricks" comes to mind. :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl: :icon_wink:

O M G !! I would be laughing if I thought you didn’t really mean that load of dung!! Check with your cult leader because what ever you're drinking or smoking is WAY beyond a a little cherry Kool-aid, my friend.

Please consider my use of your "weenies" as an homag to one of my all time favs.

ouch!

Well doctor, please provide links to those best estimates by scientists without an agenda.

Nasa has a net loss. Oh, you mean that if 90% of the areas in Antartica are melting but 10% are growing so you throw it out as if the small areas not melting disproves the truth that both our north and south polar areas are warming, you know, global warming. There is a scientific explanation, science you know, as to why some areas of the ice sheet might thicken. Get ready. Some of the Antarctic is so cold that snow does not fall often. The ice only grows when water (snow) is added. There are areas where because of global warming there is more new snow than melting, those rare areas are thickening. It does not offset the net loss of ice.

I do wish you would pick an argument and stick to it.

You alternatively claim that global warming is a hoax, isn't happening rapidly and is just the expected very slow pattern seen over tens of thousands of years so nothing to see here, or we have cooling, look at the last 9 years, to it is all real but humans can do nothing.

For those of you who say there is nothing we can do, it is all meaningless, I ask you to consider Los Angeles smog. We all grew up with the constant photos of LA engulfed in air pollution. What happened? Nobody took cars and trucks off the roads. Nobody made everyone move out of LA. All it took was vigorous environmental legislation to force industry to develop cleaner cars and trucks and factories.

Each one person, one car, one building, one factory, one incinerator at a time added up to great improvement. Now LA is still the smog capital of the country but it is so much better. Because humans did sometime to reverse a human caused problem. By the way industry claimed of course it was not man made but just a normal phenomenon caused by ozone descending from the stratosphere into the LA basin. Disproven by, yup, science.

I will look forward to your links to those scientists who say that the net ice at the south polar region is not melting to slight increase. LINKS PLEASE.

Res ipsa loquitur

Glad you agree with the records. 420 and increasing straight months of global warming.

I don't

Good. I was wrong. It's been updated to 526 consecutive months of global increases.
Have a good day, and keep hydrated, my friend.
