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.

If a Tree Falls In the Woods

 And nobody hears it, is it really running for President at all? First of all, a note about my absence lately:  My wife got me to sign up for an account at Threads, which is sort of like X without the assholes.  I've spent a little time establishing myself there, and I have to say, I do like the relatively immediate exchange of views, but I don't mean to give up my blog- there are still so many things that can't be dealt with in a couple hundred words, so, perhaps to your dismay, I am back. So, what motivated the above question is the fact that the Sunday New York Times today had seven articles about Trump, and absolutely zero about Kamala Harris.   The Republicans have a problem with Harris, in that virtually everyone who sees her likes her and immediately understands how qualified she is to be President.  They have tried mightily the last month to find some way to smear her, but have been spectacularly unsuccessful- the tactics of character assassination ...

Wingnuts Slightly Annoyed about that $83 Million

Image
How can you look like a decrepit old geezer and an out of control two year old at the same time? I thought it might be nice to look in on wingnut world to see how they are taking yesterday's $83 million dollar Trump legal loss.  You kind of know that they will decide it shouldn't affect their opinion of him in any way, but it might be helpful to see just how the Republican party has trained them to reject any fact they don't like.  Not that surprisingly, a lot of the usual wingnut suspects didn't touch this loss at all, preferring to just ignore anything that interferes with their hateful daydreams, but here are a few excerpts from an article at Gateway Pundit, along with a sample of the hundreds of comments it received.  Enjoy.  Or not. "Trump attorney Alina Habba WENT OFF after the crooked New York City court slapped President Trump with an $83 million judgment for speaking out against the disgusting lies of a crazed woman who said he lured her into a Bergdorf Go...
