I spend a decent amount of time trying to improve my understanding of particle physics and quantum mechanics. The subject is difficult, but it’s important in our world today, and therefore I believe it’s worth some of my resources.
By contrast, the subject of climate science is a piece of cake. The reason that Venus has a higher surface temperature than Mercury, even though the former is farther from this sun, is that it has an atmosphere than traps in heat that would otherwise be reradiated back into space.
Here on Earth, rising concentrations of greenhouse gases, especially CO2, are causing our planet’s temperature to increase. Sure there are feedback loops that complicate all this to some degree, but the basic theory of anthropogenic global warming is something I could explain to an average 10-year-old.
Yet millions of people believe that our so-called “scientists” are driven by politics to create and defend theories that are not corroborated by actual evidence.
It just seem so unlikely to me that a few thousand people who have been studying Earth’s climate all their adult lives, and live at the very top of their field, are conspiring to fabricate lies.
I encourage readers to check out this tongue-in-cheek ad for plant-based meat.
There is a maxim in marketing warning against “promoting the enemy line,” this is so clever, I can see where it could be quite effective.
As we all know, the GOP will stop at nothing to win the midterms, thus making it impossible to remove the sociopathic criminal from the White House.
But did any of us see this coming?
Macabre.
I just met a woman who’s been a flight attendant for Delta Airlines since the early 1990s, who laments that her company has been ruined by corporate greed, which has trashed so many other things in our lives.
As it turns out, the CEO makes more than $20 million per year, largely based on bonuses associated with cutting costs. “Now we have tray tables that don’t work and seatbacks that don’t recline, and nobody even thinks about fixing them.”
She went on, “This shift has been particularly obvious in the case of Delta, which, when I started with them, was known for its southern charm and the feeling of welcoming its passengers. Now, that gone. It’s like it never existed.”
