Quote:Originally posted by 1kiki: But Obama didn't REALLY want to confront the multinationals. So he blathered and did as little as possible on global warming. And then of course one wonders about Clinton, and the many decades of a democratic Congress. Were they infected with the multinational cancer as well?

Quote: Temperatures leap 40 degrees above normal as the Arctic Ocean and Greenland ice sheet see record June melting And it may be messing with our weather. June 14 Ice is melting in unprecedented ways as summer approaches in the Arctic. In recent days, observations have revealed a record-challenging melt event over the Greenland ice sheet, while the extent of ice over the Arctic Ocean has never been this low in mid-June during the age of weather satellites. Greenland saw temperatures soar up to 40 degrees above normal Wednesday, while open water exists in places north of Alaska where it seldom, if ever, has in recent times. It’s “another series of extreme events consistent with the long-term trend of a warming, changing Arctic,” said Zachary Labe, a climate researcher at the University of California at Irvine... The extreme conditions in the Arctic, which have resulted in these record-challenging melt events, have far-reaching implications. There is a saying often repeated by Arctic researchers: “What happens in the Arctic doesn’t stay in the Arctic.” The bulging zones of high pressure in the Arctic, which have facilitated the unusual warmth and intensified melting, are displacing the cold air normally contained in that region into the mid-latitudes — like a refrigerator door left open. Much of the central and eastern United States have seen lower-than-normal temperatures in the past week.
Quote: The jet stream, the high-altitude current separating cold air and warm air, has taken unusually erratic meanders.
Quote: “The jet stream this week was one of the craziest I’ve ever seen!” Jennifer Francis, one of the leading researchers who has published studies connecting Arctic change and mid-latitude weather, wrote in an email. Francis had earlier suggested that conditions in the Arctic may have played a role in the extreme jet stream pattern that spurred the tornado swarm and record flooding in the central U.S. during the last two weeks of May. “We can’t say that the rapid Arctic warming is causing this particularly pattern, but it certainly is consistent with that,” Francis, senior scientist at Woods Hole Research Center, said.

Unless you've farmed - or at least gardened intensively- you wouldn't know that growing produce is a never-ending fight against pests of all kinds ... weeds, bugs, fungus, bacteria and viruses. Our steady adavance towards Armageddon is propelled by profit. Money from those profits hold politicians hostage, that means most Democrats and most Republicans ... and btw most politicians around the world. And you can't get people to engage in the problem because they're entranced by profit-motivated media. Suggestions???

Whether it's pearly gates in the clouds or The Nothing from the Neverending Story, makes no matter to me. Do Right, Be Right. :)If you were a Buddhist from the Firefly 'Verse you'd believe in reincarnation into the mess you left behind in your previous life. A Buddhist knows he has to pay for what he did, if not in this life then in the next. On the other hand, the Christians and Atheists can't or won't think about paying because they are only passing through life one time, and nothing will force them to care what disasters they caused and leave behind. Christians and atheists act the way they do because: Christians are given a free pass by God to be irresponsible about anything but getting into heaven and atheists believe they can dodge ultimate responsibility by dying. Death is the atheist's free pass. Buddhism doesn't give out free passes.

My conscious is clean.If your conscience is clear, it's because you pressed the reset button on your memory. You voted for Trump. Trump campaigned on burning the maximum possible amount of coal. Only yesterday the EPA finalized Trump’s coal-friendly climate plan. If you remember that and your conscience still remains clear, your conscience is broke. Fix it. Or you could vote again for Trump because none of the Democrats will compliment you on how good, wise, hardworking, and clever you are like Trump will.
