Robecology comments on Oct 22, 2021:
This was a particularly informative - and rather depressing - show for her. The start was hilarious....Trump's social media keeps failing and falling in to scammer-hands...but then the awful news about Texas...except for that one offer to pay off anyone who proved voter fraud...and Rachel had the recipient of the first $25K check on her show - and he proved it was a GOP/Trump voter who got caught! LOL!

So blatantly racist, and sexist...The governor just selected an assistant that still support Trump. They increased their population enough to gain two seats in the house...but 95% of that increase was minorities...and the Representatives are from rich white districts.

Over 99.9% of Studies Agree: Humans Have Caused Climate Change on Earth: [sciencealert.com]
Robecology comments on Oct 22, 2021:
That's becoming obvious. A little research proves it.
Now to the reason...the root cause of it.
No...it's not pollution. It's not "industry". It's not our meat diet. It's not our lust for fossil fuels...
It's us.
Pogo (AKA Walt Kelly, the cartoonist) put it best;
**It's us...our population growth...that's the root cause of the problem** -whether it’s wars, or pollution, or global warming….it’s the growing number of humans (150 more per minute) that’s the root cause of the problem.
**The solution?** Shh... this is the one that irks many....especially the #religulous....but...
**It's Family planning…getting to ZPG (Zero population growth) ASAP.**
We have slowed down our growth from when it was around 3% in the late 70's to around 1%....but that won't go to (ZPG) for another few decades.
And 1% of 7,900,000,000 is still a lot...79,000,000 per year. That calculates to -
-150 more births than deaths per minute,
-9000 more per hour,
-216,000 more per day.
Do the math. Consider suppressing your “EGO” and working more on your “ECO” (see image, below)
Check a data site; here's one;
https://www.worldometers.info
If/when we reach ZPG (around 2100) it's likely to be too late...most food crops will be un-growable almost everywhere. Storms will be more frequent and devastating. Viral mutations will likely produce deadlier, faster transmitted infections.
COVID19 was nothing Compared to COVID 25 - and they will be talking about COVID45 until they go extinct. But we must remember what Carl Sagan once said...."Extinction in the rule....long term survival is the exception".
**There is a solution;**
1. Governments stop encouraging growth. Stop tax incentives for large families. Stop saying "growth is good"
2. We tone down our egos - our need to "have kids". We examine the concept of being "child-free" as opposed to being "childless".

A key to the "unknown unknown" is the map illustrated around 4:30. Today's rainforests cover 2% of the 30% that is land on this "watery (70%) planet - yet they harbor over 50% of all species. So back when the earth was much hotter (no ice at all) and the land was close to 30-40% rainforests....the number of species must have been huge.
This video does give us/me hope for the far future. That - beyond human's extinction - the earth is likely to go through many different evolutionary stages.

Fusion on Mars to warm the planet?
Sorry; NASA is already planning much simpler process.
They'll first plant mini domes to see if they get warming within the domes.
Then they'll test for water and temp. Only in domes that get above 0º c and some humidity will they introduce plankton or other possible photosynthetic organisms.
Then they'll watch that for progress. If no domes produce any plant life. The experiment is over.
If some/a few domes produce growth then they'll introduce plant eaters. Insects First. Then larger. Etc.
If some domes are successful then they'll plant larger ones. Eventually the domes will be made there.
But we're talking decades to hundreds of years.
I seriously doubt anyone is in any hurry to create a habitat there.

Good article. I recall feeling badly for both of them. Bill killed what would have been an amazing term....his low unemployment numbers. His reduction of the deficit. All tarnished by his lust and then his lying about it.
And it wasn't all his fault. She acted like the enamored groupie. She lusted for his attention.
Both of them created a mess for both of them to spend decades untangling. Sad.

Ethical Banking
Robecology comments on Oct 6, 2021:
How our banks invest is just a token part of our "Eco" or "Carbon" footprint. I recommend a credit Union....they're less concerned with profits.
As the old cartoon of Pogo by Walt Kelly pointed out long ago...we our the main cause of the problem;
How? Our ego-drive for children...for large families. See the Eco-Footprint chart, below.
No....don't go in to guilt trips because you've already "sewed your oats"....just take action to Renew/restore/recycle....to switch out of fossil fuels (ask me for a Tesla test drive application - still free, still easy!).
But....sorry to inform you...it's not our bank....It's us...our population growth...that's the root cause of the problem -whether it’s wars, or pollution, or global warming….it’s the growing number of humans (150 more per minute) that’s the root cause of the problem.
The solution? Family planning…getting to ZPG (Zero population growth) ASAP.
We have slowed down our growth from when it was around 3% in the late 70's to around 1%....but that won't go to (ZPG) for another few decades.
And 1% of 7,900,000,000 is still a lot...79,000,000 per year. That calculates to -
-150 more births than deaths per minute,
-9000 more per hour,
-216,000 more per day.
Do the math.

Sabine Hossenfelder - Where Did the Big Bang Happen?
[youtube.com]
Robecology comments on Sep 26, 2021:
From what I've been reading the "Big Bang" is very dependant on nebulous evidence...and might have been created with a religious POV.
I ask...why does there have to be a "beginning"?
Isn't it possible that the "Big Bang" was just one in a series?
OK...evidence is good that the outer reaches are "speeding up" away from the theoretical origin of the BB...But they've also proven a "lens effect" or a speeding up of light as it goes around another body....couldn't all those readings from the farthest locations be distortions? I think that they aren't in fact accelerating away...it's just that they're so far from us....that their calculate speeds and accelerations might be "guestimates" and not very scientifically accurate at all.

i recall cringing when I saw this segment in the movie "Something about Mary"...great acting by Ben Stiller, Cameron Diaz, and let's not forget Matt Dillon.
I mean...the cum in her hair...the dog that needed a body cast...such a great movie!

I imagine that if we pooled our resources from this we could all head to the south Pacific

If that's a $4.99 cent price tag...no wonder they're trying so hard! Ugghhh!

Now let's see; human gestation - The average length of human gestation is 280 days, or 40 weeks. So count back...if you really want to try for a kid on your birthdate...

"The conspiracy grift is a double-edged sword: One minute you’re calling out the devil for doing his work through condiments, the next you’re being called the devil himself"
Did a retired general really say this?
Apparently it's true;
"Michael Flynn Thinks They Might Be Putting the Covid Vaccine in Your Salad Dressing"
Good Job, Mike. you're helping to keep the #trumpsters" away from eating at my salad bar, too!

My only coffee crime would be called "thermosing" - I won't touch someone else's open, spill-able hot mug of coffee...but if it's sealed in a container...better watch out...

You folk who have too many rooms in your home...and then sign on for Air BnB.....I don't get you guys. Strangers using your home and facilities...for - what - a token amount of $$? Not worth it to me. Sounds like you had to tolerate some sexist and #religulous attitudes as well...uggghhh!

I just sold my elliptical exercise machine (see pic of his truck...zoom in on the signs on the side of it for a laugh) to a guy who is a serious anti-vaxxer/Trump supporter.
Not a bad fellow...he bought the machine to "get a grip on his growing beer belly" (and no, I did not tell him it's about diet much more than exercise).
Anyway; my point is that these Anti-vaxxers are almost decent folk....just naive and incredibly ignorant.
I almost feel sorry for him...well....not for him but for his elderly family members....and any immuno-compromised family members who are much more likely to die from this thing than he is...
