Love it when it snows


Nothing quiets things down like a nice blanket of snow. The roof is muffled, and the forest too. But I think there may be even more going on. Doesn't snow often here, but every time it sure does seem like the power is cleaner. For sure the listening is better.

I followed someone’s advice and looked in the mirror. But I didn’t see Jesus.

No? I and the Father are one. So now, look again.
I and the Father are one. Well, of course you are. Thousands of years later and all of modern science has produced not one shred of evidence to the contrary.

News flash, turns out according to modern science the Earth has been around a bit longer than 50 years. Longer even than you. Of course I know everyone will jump to your defense. I don't expect to change any minds. You go on believing in however long you think it is. 

This is what we are up against. It really is pathetic. But it is what it is.


The length of time the earth has existed has nothing to do with what’s happening now. For most of the earth’s existence humans did not exist. This is really happening whether or not you believe it, also here is something I can never figure out.


Fine you don’t believe climate change is real. But don’t you have to consider what if it is?

Stop misrepresenting my position. It only makes you appear as ideological and detached from reality as Adam Schiff.

Of course the climate changes. Duh. Its changed a lot over the whole 3.5 billion years of its existence, and a lot over the shorter 3 billion year history of life. The vast majority of that time CO2 levels were much higher. Some of the highest CO2 levels in the history of life on Earth were during the Cambrian explosion when almost all genera of corals evolved, along with many plants and animals.

These are all relevant scientific facts, so please do try and follow along. I know its hard. Thinking, I mean. Please try.

CO2 is a required plant nutrient. Plants literally cannot live without it. Its a fact. You could look it up. PLEASE LOOK IT UP! Most of the plants on Earth evolved when CO2 levels were much higher. These plants today are near the lower range they are able to tolerate. Rising CO2 levels benefit these plants greatly. Higher CO2 benefits all plants, but these especially.

What are these plants? Just corn, soy, you know, plants humans rely on for food. Billions and billions of dollars and billions and billions of people are riding on these CO2 reliant crops. No plants? No food. No people.

I’m guessing they don’t tell you about this in the madrassa, or CNN, or wherever it is you go for programming. Oh well. True nonetheless.

So the climate you’re so convinced will destroy all life on Earth is the one most life is adapted to. And the CO2 you want to eliminate is the one thing we absolutely cannot survive without.

And you think I’m the one who’s nuts???!




I'll admit the presidents defense has been pretty underhanded. They quote the democrats own witnesses. And Mueller. Using facts like that! The nerve!
And yes plants like CO2 I learned that in elementary school

No. Wrong. Plants do not "like" CO2. That's like saying humans "like" oxygen. Plants REQUIRE CO2. They cannot live without it.
Do you understand the difference???!
millercarbon, I totally agree with you but you could put it in a nicer way.


One of the pre-requisites for radiologic technologist is microbiology. Its a lot more detailed than it used to be. Everything is mapped out step by step right down to the atom.

Photosynthesis, at one point it becomes painstakingly obviously in your face, clear and plain, if there isn't enough CO2 there isn't any photosynthesis. Which was a shock, having been told for years how bad CO2 is, to see so starkly black and white plants absolutely will die without it. 

So just to be clear I stick up my hand and say, "So CO2 is a limiting factor in plant growth?" Which clearly it is. The answer is yes.

That's not what I got. What I got instead was a five minute diatribe that started, "This is what republicans say when they want you to think we can all drive SUVs and burn" blah blah yada yada for like 5 minutes. At the end of which he says, finally, "Yes."

This was 15 years ago. Until then it was pretty easy to fall for the warmist narrative, even though by then the narrative had already been falsified by the mere passage of time, it being a good 10 years past the point we were told all the green Doug fir in Western Washington would be dead from forest fires. But let's just go with 15 years. That's a long time to be lied to, and know you're being lied to, and to have to suck it up and endure sanctimonious lectures from a guy you are actually paying to educate- not indoctrinate. Educate. 

Which is bad enough all by itself. But the lies are all being used to steal my money, and time, and make everyone's lives worse not better. Then on top of that they all preach and carry on with their sanctimonious we're the good people act when in reality they're Pod people, Stepford wives, Children of the Corn, Zombies.

So, do I go off on them? Yes. Yes I do. Would I be better off being nice? Not so sure about that. For sure they do not deserve it. Nice is how you treat immature little kids who can't be expected to know any better.

What's their excuse?
Humans require CO2 as well we can’t live without it.

Good Lord! This is the level of ignorance we are up against!

NO! Humans do NOT require CO2! CO2 is in fact as far as humans are concerned the same as CO, carbon monoxide. Both odorless gases that can cause asphyxiation. That means you can suffocate and DIE breathing it. Exactly the OPPOSITE of plants which CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT IT.

LIFE. DEATH. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE????!

The ignorance is staggering, and yet YOU feel comfortable making fun of ME! Why? The madness of crowds.

Hate to break it to you guys, but every single one of you warmists are in your own way just as silly and flat out wrong and misinformed as this dude here. Who I would like to say is in a class of his own. But he’s not. Not by a long shot. He’s got plenty of company.

What would be nice is if you would realize when it comes to science there is no safety in numbers. DYODD. Please.
One year at WSU, thought it would be fun to take Philosophy 210 Symbolic Logic. Fascinating course, it basically teaches you how to reason, rationally and impersonally, and gives you the tools to comprehend whether or not an argument is sound. Totally removes rhetoric, emotional appeals, all of that. Logic functions at this level are either, or, and, and if/then.
So for example somebody says if this or that then the other, the statement will be true if this is true, and if that is true, and if both are true. Only if this and that are both false is the statement false.
Read that one again, because this is literally how it works. This or that could be anything. That's where it gets depersonalized. That's where it becomes pure logic.
Okay. So most of the tests consist of fairly simple statements just like the one above, only with this and that replaced with more contentious terms just to see if the students really understand and are able to reason and use the logic functions properly.
Fine. Until this one test, midterm maybe, and its quite a bit harder and the last four questions are a couple paragraphs each. You're supposed to read them through, cross out all the flowery nonsense (which in the test as in real life is upwards of 90%) in order to restate the text in logic operands, and then work through them and conclude the argument is sound or not.
There's four of these and I work through them and look around and nobody else seems anywhere near done. Well the last thing you want is a bad grade after walking out early. So I go through the whole test again.
Still nobody done. Oh well. Not my problem. Its nice outside!
Next class, glum glowering faces all around. WTF? I get my test back. 100%. But how can it be 100% when there's points taken off on one?
Turns out the test was so hard nobody (except me) was even close to finishing. The prof gave them extra time, and let them all choose one of the four to skip. So the one I didn't get quite right didn't count anyway, and I got 100%.
This was a junior/senior level class. So no freshmen. These were all college students. They signed up for the class. They wanted to get a good grade. They were in other words very capable, and highly motivated. They had everything going for them, and yet found the subject so hard most barely squeaked by with a passing grade.

Its no wonder then that of a random selection of forum posters many will be incapable of anything even resembling rational thought.

500 gallons of O2 a day


Malarkey. O2 is a gas. Gallons are volume. The volume of a gas varies with temperature and pressure. Gallons of O2 is therefore meaningless.
It only gets worse from there. Oh well. You will all be pleased to know the greatest president of all time is busy planting a trillion trees. So you must love him.
The greatest of all time needs no asterisk. Doing the things he's done even while being impeached only makes his accomplishments all the greater.
This is long, but watch it, really watch and listen, not arguing, not tuning out, but actually listening to what the guy has been saying all along. Tell me its not damn near prescient. Tell me this is not a great man. Just please get the order straight- watch first, THEN tell.

Don't go lumping me in there. I know perfectly well Russia has been diversifying out of dollars and into gold, bypassing the normal global dollar exchange system in favor of direct currency exchange with trading partners. Same goes for China.

Every time we foolishly use our dollar dominance to punish with sanctions we only encourage all the more strongly the move out of the dollar. Foolish, because it undermines confidence in the currency. Which being fiat, confidence is all.

Not that any of this is reported in "the international news" here, any more than the truth about the fake climate crisis or the truth about the billions democrats like the Bidens and Clintons have siphoned out of Ukraine. But the truth is there, you just have to go looking for it.
Which I do. And encourage everyone else to do as well.
Good Lord Miller.
You truly are serious aren't you?

Trump is for real.

DYODD. Please. The man is for real.

Look into the Central Park skating rink, the lady living rent free in Trump tower, the mugging he jumped out of the limo to stop, the guy who stopped to help change a tire and got his mortgage paid off, on and on and on. Obama said those jobs are not coming back- now the economy is so good they won't even talk about it. That's how you know its all fake. They go on and on and on Trump is this Trump is that- where's the evidence behind any of the negative stories? I asked the rabid dem at work, why is he racist? What has he actually done? Give me one example! Nada.
Plus- and this is the best part of all- go watch how consistent Trump has been over the years. Like he's been planning for this his whole life.I see YouTube is doing its usual thing making it impossible to find what you're looking for, which they always do when they don't want you finding it. So maybe tomorrow. But seriously=
DYODD. Please. Trump is for real.
