In the News II

Decreasing from what concentration to what concentration, which plants would be impacted, and what would be the impact the presence or absence of other biochemically necessary molecules?

Good questions.

How can a person say they want more trees and at the same time want lower carbon-dioxide?

Here are supposedly 32 facts and 32 pages.

I posted the first one.

It's easy to switch to the next page.

140-million-year trend of dangerously decreasing CO2.

For the last 140 million years, CO2 levels fell precipitously & steadily to within about 30 ppm of the 150 ppm “line of death” below which plants can’t survive. Both the relatively short-term data from ice cores and much longer-term data going back 140 million years (Berner 2001) show an alarming downward trend toward CO2 starvation. The release of carbon dioxide by the use of fossil fuels has allowed humanity to increase concentrations of this beneficial molecule, and perhaps avert an actual CO2-related climate apocalypse.

Putin plays the nuclear card - he mostly lets the hardliners in Russia rattle the saber - as he listens thoughtfully

would he really go nuclear - I can't say there's a zero percent chance - it's definitely something to consider

from the article:

"These manipulations mirror the old Soviet technique of reflexive control, which refers to a sustained campaign of feeding an opponent information that has been crafted to push that opponent to act, out of its own volition, in the Kremlin’s interest. In the context of Russia’s war to subjugate Ukraine, Putin knows that nothing better pushes the West’s buttons than threats of nuclear escalation"

Putin has relied on Western fears of nuclear escalation to manipulate Ukraine’s supporters in Washington, Berlin, and other Western capitals. The result has been self-deterrence out of fear of pushing Putin too far. The Biden administration, in particular, has allowed itself to be played by Putin in this way."

The longer the Ukraine War goes on, the more likely Russia is going to have an advanced fighter air force, and complete anti-missile systems installed right on its border, something it would have never allowed in peace time. Of course, if Ukraine goes under it will just becomes part of Russia.

somewhere around 120,000 dead counting both sides____________and 180,000 injured - many probably seriously

all for the glory of a greater Russia

Putin is a monster

For all of you that believe that Trump called for the execution of Milley since after all you heard that on MSM.

Here is the actual quote from Truth Social.

"Mark Milley, who led perhaps the most embarrassing moment in American history with his grossly incompetent implementation of the withdrawal from Afghanistan, costing many lives, leaving behind hundreds of American citizens, and handing over BILLIONS of dollars of the finest military equipment ever made, will be leaving the military next week. This will be a time for all citizens of the USA to celebrate! This guy turned out to be a Woke train wreck who, if the Fake News reporting is correct, was actually dealing with China to give them a heads up on the thinking of the President of the United States. This is an act so egregious that, in times gone by, the punishment would have been DEATH! A war between China and the United States could have been the result of this treasonous act."

Do you think this is a good statement for a presidential candidate to put out?

What don't you like about it? Just sounds like a statement of facts to me.

Why didn’t Donny fire him if he was such a trainwreck?

All Donny needs to reveal top secrets is someone to brag to. All they need to do to confirm is see if what he told that Australian businessman was accurate. I think they already know the answer. They certainly know he likes to wave around classified info while bragging about it.
