Hottest

Yesterday was the hottest day in recorded history.  This story has gotten a fair amount of coverage, but I think that everyone should be aware of this fact.  

We are on the verge of wiping out civilization, if not all human life on earth.  Still, deeply evil people accept money far dirtier than Judas' thirty pieces of silver, to spread propaganda that this is not happening.  These people are mass murderers, and they should be treated that way.

Please refrain from hyberbole that does nothing but benefit deniers. It is true that climate change is on track to destroy many trillions worth of capital, and to kill or immiserate many millions of poor or third world people. It is also true that reluctance to play probablity games with poorly surveyed sources of positive feedback (CO2 and methane from exposed peat and tundra soil, and possibly from methane clathrates along temperate continental rises) has caused most models to be too conservative. However, no model sees Earth in any danger of becoming Venus; and industrial knowledge can't be erased in the many countries that remain habitable.

Sorry, Rick, but the fear that global warming will overrun civilization or even destroy the human race is not hyperbole. As I have reported over the years, we are about to see the homelands of half a billion people in North Africa, the Middle East and Asia rendered uninhabitable, as well as those of hundreds of millions more in South and Central America. And this is just the beginning. The Earth does not have to become Venus in order to destroy human civilization; just a few more degrees of warming in the next century will do the trick quite nicely.

It's Okay, Never Mind

The woman in this picture, equipped with the weapons and ammunition shown, was found outside a National guard base. She is apparently a big Glenn Beck fan, and believed that the base was a FEMA concentration camp. Think she's the only one out there? You just know this sort of thing is not going to end well.

Wingnut Wrapup

 Well, I haven't done one of these in a while, but I thought it might be fun to see what the wingnuts are "thinking" lately, so let's just dive in: And the big news: "Breaking! Trump Just Truthed He's "The Real Commander-In-Chief" Well, he said it.  It must be true.  He "truthed" it! You know it wouldn't take long for this sort of "reporting" to happen: "Maui Directed Energy Weapon Assault, Like 9/11, Paradise, CA., Malibu and Boulder Fires" Of course, it can't be the result of global warming.  It must be the deep state attacking Hawaii for some reason.  That makes much more sense.  Here's a small selection of headlines from the dozens and dozens of other articles about this alleged treachery: "New Patriot Underground: Hawaiian Wildfire: Possible DEW Attack" Maui: "An Orchestrated Apocalypse" "Maui Hawaii Has DUMBs Underground 8 to 10 Sex Trafficking Tunnels We Just Lasered Them Out!

Hamas

  Of ocurse I am going to take the opportunity to talk about the Hamas attack on Israel.   First, I'd like to talk about my background, or baggage, regarding the country.   I have lived in Israel, some years ago.   This was not for religious reasons; I spent several months there working on a movie.   During pre-production, weeks of location scouting and shooting the movie, I was all over the country, and spent a fair amount of time in the West Bank, where we also shot.   This included a lot of places that normal tourists would not see, including predominantly Arab areas such as East Jerusalem, the Arab quarter of the old city, Ramla and the southern part of Jaffa, which is predominantly Arab.   It also included heavily Orthodox areas like Mea Shearim.   I dealt with Israeli Arabs, Palestinians and Bedouins.     Here are a few things I believe I learned there:   First of all, the Palestinians I knew were perfectly normal people with the same interest in living a safe, secure
