Finally! A look at food from a scientific point of view.

Robecology comments on Oct 2, 2019:

I won't give you "heat"....but it does point this out in the article; "Importantly, the studies did not investigate non-health reasons for eschewing beef and bacon — including animal welfare and meat production’s harmful impact on the environment — and the science backing the environmental case remains stronger than ever." So there's **non-direct-health reasons** to be concerned. If you've ever passed by a feed lot, the smell is overpowering. I'm sure If someone lit a match, there'd be an explosion...the methane was that thick. Remember; methane is 25 times (2500%) more potent a greenhouse gas than CO2 is. Also within the article is this suggestion that eating less meat might reduce our **obesity issues...** https://www.vox.com/2019/1/23/18185446/climate-change-planet-based-diet-lancet-eat-commission

Robecology comments on Oct 1, 2019:

Meanwhile, Jeff employs over half a million world-wide. When Amazon jobs open up...there's long lines of folk who want in. His employment growth is rocketing upwards. He lives a modest life; one jet, one boat. (Betsy DeVos, and the Waltons by contrast, has many boats and jets). So let's ease off Jeff. He's revolutionizing commercial product purchasing...reducing car pollution (because you no longer have to drive, park, shop, and drive home....one deivery truck saves dozens of shoppers from going out to buy)... Brick and mortar "stores" have reduced 30% in the past few years. All the major big sales companies are adopting his "free delivery" services...and he's a generous philanthropist.

Good question. I've been to quite a few in my life. I think the science is still "out" (inconclusive) on the benefits of spinal manipulation... On top of that, I have two friends who are doing well in the business. I think they're the last of the "faith healers".... That, and the fact that they want you to heal using their "touch" rather than meds and surgery....says a lot for them...and the pseudo-science of Chiropractic - that might actually, eventually, prove to have validity.

His key is his "alleged" wealth; and his decision to buy good lawyers. The NY Times called him the biggest loser....in his career he managed to go in to bankruptcy 6 times...that means at least 6 times we taxpayers paid off his basic debt. He's famous for leaving thousands unpaid. His court demands and lawsuits are in the thousands. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/05/07/us/politics/donald-trump-taxes.html He withheld his taxes because he knew that those with half a brain would see the clever ways he beat the system. He has made clearly racist assertions going back decades; from the convictions (found guilty) of housing discrimination to the many year harangue about Obama's birth certificate. He's a sick, but clever man...and so, unfortunately, are the millions who voted for him. Now that we've seen how he favors despots and works to undermine the school system and the EPA, as well as the American farming disaster, maybe fewer will vote for him in 2020. This video explains not only both his and his voters' illness, but explains why his hatred against immigrants is wrong https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rW9R6jgE7SQ

I rarely post long, drawn-out conversations; but this is by Greta Thunberg....it's the background story for why she's so popular and inspirational. Dear world; My name is Greta Thunberg. (updated Sept 23). "Recently I’ve seen many rumors circulating about me and enormous amounts of hate. This is no surprise to me. So allow me to elaborate about what I've done, and what I am trying to do. I know that since most people are not aware of the full meaning of the climate crisis (which is understandable since it has never been treated as a crisis) a school strike for the climate would seem very strange to people in general. So let me make some things clear about my school strike. In may 2018 I was one of the winners in a writing competition about the environment held by Svenska Dagbladet, a Swedish newspaper. I got my article published and some people contacted me, among others was Bo Thorén from Fossil Free Dalsland. He had some kind of group with people, especially youth, who wanted to do something about the climate crisis. I had a few phone meetings with other activists. The purpose was to come up with ideas of new projects that would bring attention to the climate crisis. Bo had a few ideas of things we could do. Everything from marches to a loose idea of some kind of a school strike (that school children would do something on the schoolyards or in the classrooms). That idea was inspired by the Parkland Students, who had refused to go to school after the school shootings. I liked the idea of a school strike. So I developed that idea and tried to get the other young people to join me, but no one was really interested. They thought that a Swedish version of the Zero Hour march was going to have a bigger impact. So I went on planning the school strike all by myself and after that I didn’t participate in any more meetings. When I told my parents about my plans they weren’t very fond of it. They did not support the idea of school striking and they said that if I were to do this I would have to do it completely by myself and with no support from them.

@bigpawbullets. I stll don't get why you're so negative about "doing somethng" Living an ecological lifestyle is "doing something" Being positive about change is "doing something" Family planning...is doing something. Reading this is "doing something" - it's not just adapting. I'm convinced that we will do things to slow down this crisis. I'm convinced we will do more than "adapt"... We used to use whale oil. Then we went to fossil fuels. Now we're going to alternative energy; and family planning is taking hold. Now the new energy is solar - direct (photovoltiac - P.V. and hot water heaters....did you know that more than half of all Chinese use solar hot water?) and indirect (running water - not just rivers, but tidal flows and waves) and wind. We used to be increasing at over 200 per minute. now that's down to 158 per minute (births minus deaths)...so even family planning is taking hold....and we are projected to reach ZPG by the end of this century. http://www.poodwaddle.com/worldclock/ Those of us who are concerned will do much more than adapt. I'm sorry you apparently won't. Folks like you who see the wisdom of living for the moment, profiting from environmental degredation (The FFC; the fossil fuel consortium) and not caring about the future will throw their hands up and say...

That was the first time I had ever met or spoken with him. I had not communicated or encountered with him ever before. Many people love to spread rumors saying that I have people ”behind me” or that I’m being ”paid” or ”used” to do what I’m doing. But there is no one ...

Once they see how fast it grows, how easy it is to process - they will be using it in many ways. Besides....smoking is so 'passé.....edibles is the much healthier way to "partake"....

Nice!

Maybe this is the problem:

Robecology comments on Sep 24, 2019:

A good politician has a team of scientists that he's constantly referring to. Obama had the best and brightest on as the Energy Czar, as well as many good scientists in NOAA and NASA. He had great scientists working in the FDA and the EPA. All those scientists have either resigned, or fired, or pushed out under Trump and the GOP. The effects may be unrepairable for decades to come. https://www.ucsusa.org/center-science-and-democracy/state-of-science-trump-era

Great propaganda.

Robecology comments on Sep 24, 2019:

I@bigpawbullets; I'm disappointed in you. I thought you were wiser. t's been proven (and denied by major oil companies) that Climate change IS caused by humans. The temp rise has been proven to coincide with CO2 for hundreds of thousands of years... ...and right now we're at the highest levels in many decades. I won't bother showing you evidence; whoever posted this originally is trolling for a debate based on false statements...and that doesn't deserve a professional debate answer. Humans are increasing at the rate of 158 more births than deaths, per minute. That alone...not counting the increased need for energy and transportation...results in a rapid growth of GH gases. ...and proof that CO2 is a greenhouse gas is a junior hs experiment. Again...the joke is on you, @bigpawbullets, for posting such a clearly arrogant, ignorant, misleading image/post. I urge you to take it down. It's clearly a lie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKCuDxpccYM=IwAR3k79xSQAHtyipKRkOQQzgh9oRAzI0B6WCUP5ApSyVYVr9-4cSlTZzkf-s

Large women are beautiful too... Agree? Or do you find them intimidating?

Robecology comments on Sep 24, 2019:

I've loved all sizes. Even a couple taller than me....and I'm a short guy. But I've learned some lessons about getting involved with "voluptuous" women. They seem to have a "voluptuous" diet. They don't enjoy sweating. They don't often eat excessively. They often develop back, knee, and shoulder issues. Never, again.

I normaly refrain from posting this type of meme...

What a young inspirational person! I won't dare call her a "girl"...she's obviously matured beyond her years.

What comes to children they accept as eternally established. —Rudyard Kipling

Robecology comments on Sep 24, 2019:

Rudyard Kipling was decades ahead of other writers in his ecological wisdom, when he wrote "Jungle Book". Watch the adult version (fromthe 90's) for the best story, IMO.. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110213/ John Clease was fabulous in that one....and the line "the law of the Jungle says animals hunt for food....humans do not obey that law" by the adult Mogli...to me was the highlight of the movie.

Curious.

Robecology comments on Sep 24, 2019:

The myth-followers are more plentiful than I/we've realized. Despite our growth of education and advances in science....religion is still increasing numbers world-wide. ...and, sadly....they explain why Trump got elected. It's the "life-beyond-death" promise, more than any of the other "promises"..I'm convinced. And I do feel more sadness than fear from these delusional folk. They're just naive, silly, and scared. If you realize they're harmless (for the most part) you tolerate and communicate with them better.

Good Morning My Hippies! Looks like it rained last night.

Robecology comments on Sep 24, 2019:

It's an old and common scam....old, outdated pics, fake bios....to draw you in....then they describe a terrible situation they're in...then they ask you to help them. Not all go to this extreme; some want you to just "be impressed" - some have it in their heads that they're younger, more attractive, etc. It was in its' infancy in the newspaper "personals' but with the internet these scams have become common. So just beware. Don't get caught up. In latin..."Caveat Emptor" Let the buyer beware... I got caught in a scam recently myself...so just check yourself before you "jump in"

Don't take any chances

Good morning! A very simple question for you today: How Do You Define Success?

Robecology comments on Sep 24, 2019:

Success is setting goals...then reaching or exceeding them. There's a trick to reaching success...you must learn to set reasonable, achievable goals. I feel badly for the world who sets their goals beyond their own capacities...and thus act "deprived" "deranged" or otherwise "troubled" because, in their mind...they haven't "found success".

At what point are things assumed to be exclusive?

Robecology comments on Sep 23, 2019:

Too variable a factor to be discussed. It totally depends on too many variables itself. As a demographer, I know that as we (or any population of any organism) get more crowded then "exclusivity" dies...witness the rising divorce rate, the rise in gay coupling, and the rise of independent non-relationship individuals. ...and we are growing (births, minus deaths) at the rate of 158 per minute. http://www.poodwaddle.com/worldclock

Robecology comments on Sep 23, 2019:

Ahi Tuna, or seared and/or raw Tuna sashimi. High protein; and with Wasabe and soy...yummm! I so rarely stop in to any "fast food" place that I can't say I have any pref for any of them.

Robecology comments on Sep 23, 2019:

He's perhaps the most intelligent, progressive, provocative pope they've ever had. He works hard to fulfill the vows to serve... He's a critical link between the #religulous of the world and us scientific/agnostics... He's one of us....disguised as a religious leader. https://www.beliefnet.com/faiths/catholic/the-progressive-pope.aspx

Reality check.

Robecology comments on Sep 23, 2019:

I'm agnostic. Prove it to me. This "thing" floating around is akin to religion...myths. The science is clear; it's just not likely that they'd come here in ships...or even send robots. Any advanced civilization would know about radio and would send light-speed communications first. Remember; even the closest possible planet is 4.5 light years away. Watch this trailer of "Contact"...it discusses the most likely way any intelligent being would "visit" us. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRoj3jK37Vc
