Not to start a political discussion. I just find an irony because someone on facebook was bullying because climate science is âperfectâ. There are hotspots that are popping up globally. Climate scientists canât explain or predict.

Yeah, they were predicting the earth would freeze back in the '70s. Then the earth would warm and melt the ice caps by the millenium, then by 2012, then 2020 now 2030. The science is so perfect they havenât made a valid prediction in 50 years. Meanwhile the high water mark on the Statue of Liberty hasnât moved in a hundred years.
Iâm doing my best to replenish the CO2 in the atmosphere to make sure the trees survive.

that is actually misinformation. The photo that started it was debunked. It is about 1 ft over the last 100 years.
The run through the debunking here. What they left off is the sea level has been rising for 1000s of years.

Sorry, but Politifact is about as reliable as Snopes, which is garbage. Very left leaning and into the whole climate change hysteria.

Some driving on wood, a trip to visit my father.
Volvo ran surprisingly well.
The pic of the beautiful small road in the dark became nothing as i thought, only the dash of the volvoâŠ

I donât buy into the right/left thing with analyzing facts.
I am just waiting to see if the comment I reported for bullying and harrassment on FB will get removed. The first comment I reported did not meet facebooks standards. I replied to the kid, and told him he was bullying, then he admitted to bullying the person. I want to see if that meets the criteria.

Göran, you have lots of switches, bells and whistles in your cockpit. I wouldnât know how to operate your rig. I could be co-pilot maybe - fueling up and draining condensation.

The truth about climate change professors.
A turkey was chatting with a bull âI would love to be able to get to the top of that tree,â sighed the turkey, but I havenât got the energy.â âWell, why donât you nibble on my droppings?â replied the bull. âTheyâre packed with nutrients.â The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, there he was proudly perched at the top of the tree. Soon he was spotted by a farmer, who promptly shot the turkey out of the tree.
Moral of the storyâŠBullshi t might get you to the top, but it wonât keep you there.

Thanks again Tom for a good laugh. It doesnt really mather if scientist are right or not. Fossile fuel is a death end. Good to take care of yourself and reuse your own wood. That is the reason why I am here.
JO, maybe Goran is training to steal a Saab?
BTW, we had a power out last weekend, the second one in 17 years and lasted 20 minutes. To bad I wasnt home to start one of the generators

Iâm jealous. I started keeping a list of blackouts here in Chile and weâre up to 15 in the last 2 years. They average a couple of hours each, up to 24 hours. Iâve stopped counting the several minutes long ones. Itâs funny, when I lived in NYC a 24 hour blackout caused everyone to loose their collective minds. Here, itâs get the chainsaw out and get a little more firewood in.

You know, JO, itâs not much to care about those meters and switches, only when something goes wrong theyâre good to have

I used to own a 1974 Saab 99 and later a 1984 Saab 900. The were both very easy to steal. Pretty much any key or screwdriver fitted both door and ignition.
The 1984 was stolen 3 times within a few years in about the same spot in town (As a second job I used to work late nights in a movie theater). Only the last time it was slightly damaged, but from careless driving. I got the same compensation from the insurance company as I previously paid for it and got to keep it as well. I drove it several years after that and then sold it. You rarely make a profit on cars, but this one was an exeption

Ok, so I know I havenât posted much lately⊠But I looked out the window this morning and decided I could finally post to this thread. My tomatoes and water melon vines finally died yesterday. And the okra frosted Sunday morning. And this morning it looks like this. Almost like Bill s place in Minnesota⊠Right? Donât you see that terrible white stuff everywhere?
Here it is⊠That terrible time of year when I get to complain like a little whiney pre teen girl who canât go to the mall with her friends⊠Because the temp is only 31 degrees.
Shiver, cold, complain⊠How long until spring? 27 days? Way too long. But maybe it will make it up to 50 today. Oh hhhhh! Lord make me thankful somehow⊠For this too is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning meâŠ
Ok, Iâll try to stop ranting about what many of you consider August weather

Hi All,
Yes having hard morning frosts here now too. Not so unusual for here.
On the other touchy, touchy topic of fossil fuels . . . . man caused effects . . . . demands for pushed rapid changes . . . .
I have a great made up listing of âImpossiblesâ. Iâve made it stepped logic sequential humorous. But I judge would be too divisive to share out here. Best done in small groups face to face. Always someone stomping away frustrated. Sometimes me.
I will say this though. My regional local area is the lower mighty Columbia River dumping into the Pacific Ocean.
So the 30-50 years transitioning from only sail that was millennia evolved to the finest heights to later only fossil fuels for ocean crossing has been preserved in pictures, photos and even retained hardware.
Our mountain chains running north and south creates fast rivers flowing generally east to west dumping into the ocean so it was only arm-strong paddle going directly to wood fueled stern-wheeled steam boats. The generally prevailing winds blowing always the wrong way. And those rivers twisty turn, following the down slope terrain features.
Then a decades transition to railroads that were locals; wood powered steam. We had the dense forests. Long distance railroads were all coal powered because they could transport-in their own high grade far eastern coal fuel. For depot pre-positioning.
So existing gasoline, diesel, and LPG should now be considered imho as a transitional carry-over; step-it-up fuel.
Why our most recent replacement vehicle is a Toyota fourth generation Hybrid. Gasoline-Electric.
The second and third generations transitions to steam ships all did still have some masts and sails. For when the steam system inevitably would go down. To on-board fuel stretch to the next pre-positioned coal depot. Suspenders to go with the belt.
Save the world purifying to the inevitable Gretaâs; and the both sides mouth talking politicians with âG-typeâ last names.
Let them fritter-away ( waste - squander) their lives world-saving. You take care of yourselves, and your families.
Regards
Steve Unruh

Sad to say, in my area we are getting close to that ratio.
