We have had very few years that outpaced the past records year to year. Now you want to take the same info from the same people and project forward 10 -100 years. Good luck with that. |

Is the transcript of Carl Sagan's last interview with Charlie Rose available online?

Styrofoam and wax coated paper cups are recycleable but need a little more processing than some folks expect. This: "likely further destruction and oppression, on the world" is exactly the matter I've been going after. Even in miniature where folks wish to be infoterrorists fostering panic and self loathing. Here's the question I see as critical: What do we do when the other five plus billion people on this planet claim a right to do as we did? Nuke them? Do we plan on supporting repressive governments for some claimed planetwide greater good lest they light a candle against the darkness on their own?

If anybody is causing global warming it is the bankers, for it is the bankers who give out the loans to buy the cars, etcetera. But we will never hear our climate hysteric leaders calling for the outlawing of debt to save the planet and why because our climate hysteric leaders are banker’s puppets of course. If you climate hysterics want to kill the bank to save the planet, then count me in. Make me Empower of the World and I will cancel all debt, ban money lending and save the planet in the of blink of an eye.
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

Tommy, folks have not read Graeber's book. Or Crichton's book. Yet the typing continues. Hot Earth Dreams current reading. Eggars's book Circle still looks relevant.
Rhetoric - persuasion. Compliance implies complicity. Agency.

A zillion years ago the earth was a molten ball.Then it started cooling and had a solid crust. It cooled more and there was land, lakes and oceans .. The earth is constantly in flux. To try to control the temperature of the world is unwise. It knows what it's doing.

Maybe the earth needs humans and they were created to fill a need - either by evolution or otherwise. Maybe all of nature and creation includes us as a valuable piece. Who's to say? I like the parallels between Christianity and Environmentalism. They're usually the same. The earth was a paradise, there was a fall (man becomes part of the picture) and now we live in sin (harm to the earth by existing, condemed to hell by merely existing). AGW is the sacrament of Scientism. All societies require a religion, Environmentalism is perfect for atheists and evolutionists. |

I'm not going to condemn the human psyche as infected (by vanity chained to rancor by charlatans?). Self is. Finding options for coexistance may be a new topic/sport/... Eggars's book The Circle may work as cautionary tale on that one - or Bruce Sterling's story The Swarm. In fiction the reader is permitted to go at their own pace, taking a break where they wish - unlike the characters in the story. Reality happens at its own pace.

An illusion is not entirely fiction as it is a distortion of the truth. When somebody takes a small truth and exaggerates what they create an illusion. That is the climate hysterics have done with global warming and they do that so with computer modelling and so on. So we might say that what climate hysterics have is science fiction. It matters not if the exaggerated prediction fails later because the point is to scare folk at the time into doing silly things like giving them money and power. Clymate hysterics will say “Yeah. Some of us struggle through the scientific papers instead of getting our science from fiction and/or anarchist economists. Strange state of affairs, eh?” Indeed it is.

Yes Pop, the post offered a place to address the basic notion of "theory of mind" where others can post to demonstrate how far, how deeply and how meaningful they find that lemma.
Chains of suspicion. Dominos of consequence. Does it have to he a dark forest? Rhesus Chart vampire rule? Got a better citation for that strategy?
