We had bigger, better fauna, and bigger, better plants in the distant past, 6000 CO2 regions. We are clearly the decedents of that era, also breathing, eating animals, and as I said, greenhouses specifically raise CO2 at great expense because plants are nearly suffocating at this level and grow unbelievably, almost magically at higher levels. Like 5x CO2 can equal +20% increase in light? Can bring crops in 30% earlier? I mean like, answers that show plants are barely surviving now in comparison.
Which is why people spend so much money on their Co2 setups for their aquatic plants. The biggest retail users of CO2 cylinders are aquarium owners, not home brewers. The aquarium owners feed CO2 into their aquariums to create quite magnificent aquascapes of fresh water plants. They control the CO2 input to coincide with the aquarium lighting, they use automated equipment to turn off the CO2 and lighting at night as nightime CO2, when the plants are not consuming, can create an excess that kills the fish. As a result I get my home brew CO2 refills at the local pet shop, not at the home brew shop or welding shop.

@aspnaz: We must have crossed wires somehow. I don’t see anything in your most recent post that I disagree with…(the one addressed to me, that is).
Apologies, I was not accusing you of anything, I have a bad tendency to use “you” when I should use “one”.

The doom-porn is really being ratcheted up again at the moment (notice how many links to it on the various sites?), but at this time I thing that’s more a tool of control via induced helpnessness than a reflection of acute issues.
Interesting point, also implied by Dr D, that the gas shortage in Europe can still be averted should the Germans decide to open all the spigots on all the Russian pipelines. They are starting to see real damage in the fertiliser industry and I am sure more real damage will occur, but the Germans can still keep their industry alive by opening those pipelines. Remember that in the past they relied on storage but now they have extra pipeline capacity, so probably do not need the storage at all. My guess is that at some stage the Germans will turn away from the USA and go with Russia, probably – as Dr D stated – when the people finally decide to rise up and the politicians have a genuine reason and popular support to tell the USA to fuck off out of Germany and take their troops with them.

However, this does not necessarily mean, (nor is it likely, @aspnaz) that “the billionaires are saving us.
It means that you are colluding with the billionaires to further their green agenda. The climate crisis is a billionaire project, it has created a “problem” called “AGW” and has recruited eco-warriors as its troops. Once you adopt that “problem”, you are helping the billionaires so the only conclusion that an outsider like myself can come to is that you are helping the billionaires because you believe in the “problem”, a problem that they created and own as a narrative, without any neutral science behind it, in fact with plenty of neutral science disproving it. Why would warriors join a team if they do not believe in the narrative and the goals? I believe this to be a great example of how humans can be manipulated, how their good intentions can be guided to support issues owned by the billionaires, this is the flock being shepharded. I put this on a similar grounding as the woke movement, again driven by manipulating people’s good intentions to gain the outcomes that are good for the owners, not the sheep.

They need the people to rise up and demand it.
Looks like that won’t happen until an empty plate is served to them at dinner time. They will then beat the wife, then go out and beat the police in an attempt to get to the politicians: where’s my dinner!
The Food and Drug Administration is expected to approve new COVID-19 booster shots this week — before the vaccines are tested on humans, according to a new report by the Wall Street Journal.
Anyone who takes these boosters, as with the last round, gets no sympathy from me, in fact I see them as the enemy, helping the governments and corporations to fight the people. Tennis players and others can drop dead and although I do not wish to see this, there is only one person they have to blame. The law of the jungle has come to the streets of the cities: kill or be killed.
“We have to send a signal to the Russian population that this war is not OK, it is not acceptable.”
Ha ha, better do this now because come winter the Russians ain’t going to want to visit Europe to live in cold hotel rooms in the dark with huge crowds in the streets burning whatever they can find to keep warm.
Russia can shut down its natural gas exports to Europe entirely for more than a year, without inflicting significant damage on the national economy, Bloomberg has reported, citing strategists at Capital Economics.
Everybody knows that this is only damaging Europe while the rest of the world continues on its merry way. Why would Europe’s leaders do this? Even if you believe in AGW you can surely see that this is not going to save the planet as the worst CO2 emitters are still operating. So what is the point and why aren’t the European people asking this question?

As I previously noted, no one has ever won and argument with me about this stuff because I know it to the nth degree, having studied it for decades, whereas those who argue have very little knowledge, if any.
I worked out more than a decade ago that those who argue the most are those who know the least.
It’s the same with jabs, or masks, or finances, or history or geography, or psychology. Those who know the least argue the most against who do know.
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
A self-proclaimed scientist, a chemist, so sure you are right, so sure you cannot be wrong … like Fauci and modern science. Your veneer of self confidence and lack of substantive argument but volumes of ideological bias persuades me even more that you are another modern pseudo-scientist, ready to ignore inconvenient reality in pursuit of your ideology: the billionaire’s tool. Your moniker signals your cult traits, the farmyard odour is overwhelming.
Afewknowthetruth said
That was about 40 years before Tyndall discovered what the cause was. CO2.
Then why do ice-cores – which are the only way of backtesting your model, that I am aware of – show that your model is completely wrong, 100% wrong? Ice cores show us that past increases in CO2 are not the cause but are one of the effects of increases in global temperatues. In other words, historically, every single increase in CO2 came AFTER rises in temperature, not before. You claim that this dynamic has changed and all is different this time round but have no theory, no argument, nothing to convinvce us why this time is not the same as all the previous times. Why does your column of CO2 work differently this time, why not the same as all the previous times as shown by the ice cores?

It looks to me like depletion is real and is being “managed” by insrting artificial crises and shortages just before it becomes common-knowledge, so as to maintain initiative in the control-narrative war-room.
Hilarious, so the billionaires are saving us! I knew they were good for something, all hail the billionaires. Of course, your “depletion is real” means nothing, every time someone uses some fossil fuel there is depletion, but are we running out? Overall, the answer is a resounding No. Why did TPTB decide to cut off our supply to fossil fues rather than let their free market just raise the prices and spur development in alternatives? Why did TPTB suddenly refuse to buy energy from the sources that they have been buying from for the past decade+? Why are they also shutting down nuclear? All to maintain the initiative?
I am fascinated to see how this artificially created crisis has encouraged people here to believe that there is a real crisis. It is fascinating to see how people yearn for someone to be their carer, that they yearn to believe that the billionaires are doing this to save humanity. History teaches people nothing, they talk about it, study it then emotions take over and they believe the complete opposite. Even WEF publishing their plans, infiltrating our political classes, killing us with fake vaccines etc makes no difference, we yearn to be cared for, we yearn to believe our government is good.
There is no saving western civilisation. The BRICS+ will flourish, the West will either cave into reality – buying gas from Russia, re-opening nuclear fueled power stations etc – and try to hang onto the BRICS+ coattails or they will decay into nothing.

However, none of the models worked and 40 years later it is still wrong and not happened. Where is the falsifiable part of your Scientific Theory?’
Afewknowthetruth said
This has absolutely nothing to do with models
No, it’s not my scientific theory. It is well established scientific fact. As per Tyndall’s research, remove the carbon dioxide from the tube and the infra-red energy passes through, unabsorbed and not re-radiated.
Your model is a tube of gas and on that basis you are making assumptions about a far more complex system called the earth’s climate? How do you go from a tube to the climate? I am interested to see how you superimpose the two in your science.

And aspnaz thinks the term ‘natures wrath’ is harsh???
How about revenge, then, aspnaz?
You are part of nature: when you fail to run fast enough do you get all emotional with your legs? Your concept of nature – some sort of emotional entity that gets annoyed with the humanity part of itself – is somewhat pathetic. It appears to be a disingenuous attempt by you to project yourself or humanity at large as seperate from nature, as if you/we control nature and that nature is angry at us, as if we/you are some sort of equal to nature.
But thanks for the run down of your beliefs: I always find it nice to have mt suspicions confirmed.

Pakistan. 45 million people affected by nature’s wrath.
Why wrath? What has flooding got to do with wrath, or do you see this as punishment for treating the earth badly, a sort of looney left karma?

I, personally and IMHO could do with a damn sight less “ruling” going on around here

After the Biden administration announced its ham-fisted scheme to eliminate $10,000 in student loans for borrowers making less than $125,000 per year, and $20,000 for Pell grant recipients, the Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal editorial boards independently wrote about what a stupid idea it is.
The stupid idea is giving money to the plebs when they could give it to the billionaires as they usually do. The billionaires are defending their corner, realising that the politicians have worked out that with endless money they can now buy votes directly from the people and ignore their owners who pay for campaigns.
After mentioning the death of Darya Dugina, a young Russian journalist and political activist, Pope Francis has faced the anger of Kiev, which apparently thinks it has the monopoly on “innocence.”
The Jew running Kiev and the Jew running Israel both believe they have a monopoly on innocence. Mind you, the Pope is a total creep who should have been assassinated a long time ago, at least he will have earned it.
The letter reportedly goes on to argue that, while a fundamental improvement in relations between Germany and Russia would only be possible in a “post-Putin era,” Berlin has to establish a “modus vivendi” for the time being that would help to prevent “further escalation of the war.”
Back tracking is so fun to watch, especially when it reveals their insecurities regarding Putin. Maybe Putin would not want better relations unless all current Europe/WEF politicians resign and leave public service? They know that is not the case because Putin has demonstrated that he only has contempt for European politicians and does not care what they do because ha already knows they are going down. Of course, he knows they will launch a last minute, pretend rescue-plan, designed to fail, but also designed to give them more ammo to blame Putin even more.

The SNAP/TANF and Medicaid systems have standardized, periodic, relatively invasive procedure backed up by law and the potential for criminal proceedings for intentional fraud to determine need.
The only reason people need government assistance with medical care is because the government has deliberately made medical care a “protected” profession, one in which the government controlled medical practitioners have to belong to the government controlled medical union in order to be able to practice. In this way medicine is controlled from the center, as we have seen with Covid. This is even more extreme in Europe where the union also negotiates salaries on behalf of the doctors, the result being extremely expensive healthcare.
In China this theft mechanism does not exist, medical doctors are licensed but GPs charge their own prices, hospital doctors negotiate their own wages and they all have to compete with Chinese medicine which is licensed separately. As a result they make an average living but they are no richer than the average professional worker and the GOs are definitely not as rich as other self-employed business men. What they do have is status in the community and that is worth a lot in the Chinese world.
Where the Chinese still lose out is the cost of drugs: the US system of ripping off patients for drugs is often seen in China, simply because no alternative is available, but that excess money is going to the west, the Chinese system is otherwise very competitive.
The New York Times column called for citizens to view the Constitution as the real enemy and to push to “radically alter the basic rules of the game.”
If you can’t win on merit, change the rules. Isn’t this how all corrupt corporates and politicians think? Isn’t this “to save America we must destroy America because we have a better idea” comcept the root of all loony left and authoritarian political movements? Isn’t this the green energy movement? The one thing that applies in all cases is that the “better idea” is actually much, much worse and, in some cases like green energy, just does not exist in more detail than bar talk. Any “new ideas” provided by the billionaires behind NYT, WaPo etc will be sure to be worse than what we have at the moment, but you notice that they do not go into the detail of what would replace the old ideas, instead they imply that they, as the only true geniuses on the planet, will sort it out when the time comes …. their solution is a mix of loony left, authoritarianism, woke, Greta, nanny (as in nurse nasty) state etc all sponsored by Bezos, Soros, Gates, Murdoch, Rothschilds etc.
However, a spokesman for the Ministry of Health insisted that regulations were made in consultation with professional scientific opinion.
Professional sicentic opinion? Does this not just raise a red flag in everybody’s brains? They are talking about the same science that created Covid as the deformed child of coronavirus then completely fucked up the vaccine against Covid. The same science that is now completely fucking up their beloved transition to green energy? Science has not been seen for a long time, these are science whores.
Afewknowthetruth said
So those who say there is plenty of oil and that we should burn it might like to consider the kind of world doing so creates.
Still supporting Green Energy: those billionaires are counting on people like you. Still supporting Green Energy: this is why I hate the left, they are so ideological that they cannot see the forest in their eye.

The future, of not enough energy, is here
There is not enough energy, at a price that you can afford, to feed yourself and to feed your mechanical slavesI am looking forward to the demise of the west, running out of energy while I sit here in the mountains of beautiful Taiwan with plenty of energy, petrol costing the same as it did last year as does electricity. The western left wing will be celebrating their “we were right” intellectual dishonesty about how we have run out of energy while the rest of the world and the billionaires will be using fossil fuels like it is the 20th century.
Sometimes you just can’t help people, the left wing loonies are just itching to team up with the corrupt, thieving billionaires to bring about energy starvation for the west. The left wing loonies will enjoy watching all their fellow citizens – especially the ones more successful than they are – suffer because it means they were “right” – they spouted the billionaires’ narrative and now they are right. Of course, this is the usual left wing loony thinking, they are right in their own minds but not in reality, the reality being that they were suckered into being dupes for the billionaires, which seems to have been the role of left wing loonies for a long, long time, maybe for ever …. humanity continues with the leaders and the led. Meanwhile the rest of us have to put up with their lies, dodging the shit being flung from the ape cage.

Yes. The Anglos. After 150 years of non-stop war with Russia, having killed 200 million? 500 million? In that time rather than picking a cooperative future of alliances that they could have.
For me this is the really puzzling thing about the Anglos, what is this hatred for Russia all about? I was born in the UK and I was educated in Britain, but even at school I was not taught to hate the Russians but to understand that the USSR were our enemies, the people were not free and therefore USSR bad. I do not remember hatred coming into it. Of course, the implication was that the Russians are backward because their economy was not as advanced as that of the UK, but to British public schools everybody who is not white anglo saxon British is backward, even the Scots are considered just a touch backward. So what is the cause of this one-sided enmity for the Russians?

So now we all -not just Europe- face the predictable -and predicted long ago- consequences of institutionalised lunacy.
Except that we don’t. You are spreading lies because they fit with your political beliefs, but what we are facing is political not based on physically limited resources. There is no resource shortage, there is authoritarian politics, dictatorship, driving all the European politicians to commit mass suicide for reasons that have not been revealed to their “voters”.
This is not going to go well. Not for the European “leaders”, not for the EU, not for Ukraine, and not for Europeans. We could start a little bet as to how many leaders will still be in place by spring, and I bet you Zelensky won’t be one of them. Putin will. As for the rest, Rutte, Macron, we’ll see. But don’t underestimate the wrath of people with hungry and cold children. It feels like almost an alien image for 99% of Europeans, but it no longer will be.
The European leaders will be replaced by new leaders who will continue to report to the existing owners. The only way to stop this is to find and destroy the head of the snake. The longer we leave it, the harder it will become, but without the backing of a decent minority of the people we cannot do anything. It will all be too late by the time the people rebel. The chemical factories will have stopped and will not be restartable, the power stations ditto, the country will be begging for food from the rest of the world.
Once Europe is begging, the finale will come into play: An external power will offer a solution to Europe, a solution that involves regular food, power and jobs but under CCP-like control of the sheep, and CCP control is total control which may even involve transhuman implants. They may even allow the people to vote on it as most will accept the slavery solution being offered. That is why they are doing this, to gain total control over the people by making them so desperate that they will accept anything offered as an alternative. Humanity will then enter the second dark ages where freedom is just a legend from the past.
France is headed toward the “end of abundance” and “sacrifices” have to be made during what is a time of great upheaval, President Emmanuel Macron told his cabinet on Wednesday upon returning from summer break.
Macron pretending to be on the side of the sheep, like the farmer walking his flock into the slaughter house. What Macron did not mention is that all this was ordered by his bosses, the people who put him in place and continue to undermine French democracy. Power rules the world, not democracy, and the Macron types should pay the ultimate price, it is not as if this is an accident, this is deliberate suffering being imposed on the people of France. Deliberate. It could all be ended tomorrow if Macron changed his stance and stood for the people instead of his owners.
The sad thing about all of this is that once the factories stop turning, they will never restart. The opportunity to save our way of life is now, but people will wait until the system has fallen apart, the utility services are no longer provided, the coal and nuclear power stations have been shut down, and all the time the government will survive by lying to the gullible people about how everything will be alright and they just need to get through the next winter. We can only hope that at some point they will rebel, but even if they do, it will be too late. It will take years to prepare to restart these power stations, maybe not even possible, and it will take years to restart the coal mines, factories and their distribution systems. A factory may be profitable while running but having to mothball it then restart it will probably not be profitable for most factories. The same applies to the skills used in the factory, once those skills are gone they will be very difficult to regain.
Why is this a disaster? Because there is no plan for a bright new future. There is no plan to provide the west with the energy it currently consumes, so there is no plan to ever restore our old way of life. People wonder why western elites would do this, the answer is that somehow they are benefitting from this, after all, a lot of western elites have huge investments in the BRICS+ and the third world, maybe those are now going to be the new money earners while the west, which consumes only 15% of Chinese output, is left to die. They did it to your jobs, now they are doing it to you.

i didn’t say anything last time you did this, but aspnaz is going to call you on this at some point. “Gaijin” (outside-person) is a Japanese term.
Funnily enough the racism of the Chinese – they are super racist – can be affectionate, not aggressive. The majority of westerners would not understand this, but after spending a long time in China, you get used to being called all sorts, from prawn roll (friend/spouse when not clear) to ghost (Cantonese) to oustide country people (wai guo ren in Mandarin) etc. For example, when my mast broke when windsurfing, the Chinese owner of the windsurfing club – whom I know very well – said to my wife, when she suggested sending out the rescue boat, “He’s a gweilo, they are strong, he will swim back”, which I did. Do not be surprised if people in China still refer to you as foreigner even after you have known them as friends for a long time. In Hong Kong people I know well, drinking mates, still refer to me as gweilo, it is not an insult in any way.
