Anthropogenic Climate Change vs Natural Climate Change
How many scientists here have heard of the Ice Ages? Raise your hands. Thank you.
An ice age is a long period of reduction in the temperature of Earth’s surface and atmosphere, resulting in the presence or expansion of continental and polar ice sheets and alpine glaciers.
If “reduction in the temperature of Earth’s surface and atmosphere” creates an Ice Age – then what melts an Ice Age and/or makes that Ice Age go away?
Earth’s climate alternates between ice ages, and greenhouse periods during which there are no glaciers on the planet.
The oldest known Ice Age was the Huronian, which occurred between 2.4 and 2.1 billion years ago. How many scientists here believe that humans caused the Huronian glaciation to end? Over half of you. OK, over half of you got that one wrong.
The oldest known evidence of hominins—our early human-like ancestors—dates back to around 6-7 million years ago.
Humans weren’t around to melt the Huronian Ice Age, or any of the dozens that followed. I’m no scientist, but even I can spot that gap.
*The Russians are coming!!!* – Europe’s Defense firms have trouble getting a Bank Account
Bad time to have banking issues. Am no international economic expert, but it is obvious in the news that a lot of people are worried.
• Europe is worried about Russia’s next move after Ukraine.
• America is worried about Trade Wars, falling stock value, a U.S. recession, etc.
• President Trump behaves like a man with many grudges to satisfy – enacting revenge and seeking satisfaction by seeing both individuals and entire Nations suffer.
Walmart “Delivery” from store — “Check your neighborhood”
I weekly shop in-store at Walmart for groceries & misc – also do a lot of online shopping there, but have never tried Curbside “Pickup” or “Delivery” from store. Didn’t even know about the “Delivery” from store until yesterday.
Was ordering a wedge pillow online yesterday, and needed about $10 more in orders to get over the min $35 to qualify for free shipping. Before I had realized it, there were gonna be two deliveries – two items were going to be “Delivery” from store yesterday, and the wedge pillow fell under “Shipping” and was coming by FedEx today.
(NOTE to myself: pay closer attention when ordering, and remember the differences between “Pickup” & “Delivery” & “Shipping”!?)
News Highlights for 3/10/2025
• Elon Musk says ‘massive’ cyberattack on X “seemingly originated in Ukraine“
‘Seemingly‘ (?!) – now that’s an interesting lead-in to introduce Ukraine in the negative once again. President Trump certainly holds & has a serious grudge against Zelensky, and Elon Musk seems to help it along at times. Would Musk, in conjunction with BIG Govt under Trump, create a “‘massive’ cyberattack” against his own company—just to be able to point a finger at Ukraine? Russia holds a huge chunk of Ukraine…is Musk suggesting the cyberattack only seemed to originate from Ukrainian held territory, and not the Russian held parts of Ukraine? Heck, I would think that with all the Troll Farms and Propaganda units that Russia has—that it would be a priority for Russia to keep the negatives focused on Ukraine. Anyway…lets follow this a little more. 🤔
• Elon Musk Points Finger at Ukraine for Cyber Attack on X That Caused Major Outages
Pro-Palestinian hacker group Dark Storm Team claimed responsibility for a DDoS attack on the platform, according to a public Telegram post. The group is known for primarily targeting countries and entities that support Israel’s attack on Gaza following Hamas’ surprise attack on October 7, 2023.
OK (?!) 🤔 – However, Musk continues to point finger at Ukraine, and apparently ignores the possibility that Russia or the “Pro-Palestinian hacker group Dark Storm Team” could be the culprit or culprits. Trump and Musk are certainly strong supporters of Israel, so why isn’t Dark Storm a suspect here—since they claim responsibility? Something seems suspicious about this “‘massive’ cyberattack on X” and the way it is being reported, IMHO.
