OBloody:

That would certainly be an interesting way to listen to the Bee Gees. Much of a muchness. But no, I prefer normal speed for them. It’s the academic lecturers I like to speed up.

Yeah, that nitrogen!! Makes up about 70% of the atmosphere!

Of course, what they are talking about is nitrogen oxides, but like CO2 they want to confuse the rubes by just saying “carbon” or “nitrogen”. Fixed nitrogen fertilizers are absolutely necessary for modern food production which is why Sri Lanka, and the Netherlands, are in such trouble. And most likely the US next as these climate crazies continue to take over.

}}} And now, the NITROGEN IS AN AGRICULTURAL POLLUTANT scam…which is the basis on which the Dutch government, in cahoots with the WTF is attempting to royally screw Dutch farmers.

Not just The Netherlands. It’s fucked over Ghana and Sri Lanka, too…

So you’re listening to a Robin Gibbs song played at 78?

}}} Time for the War of 1812, v. 2.0?

Why go in for half measures?

Face it: It’s 1775.

I wasn’t going to comment on the water-comet idea, but WTH… 🙂

I couple of points not mentioned in the video: Volcanoes produce a large amount of water. It’s a fairly easy calculation to take the current volcanic water protection rate and multiply it out by the earth’s age and find it can account for a significant fraction of the the earth’s water. Add in that in the early cooling earth the volcanic rate was higher than today and it comes even closer.

Second point: Mars also had a significant early volcanic outgassing period as evidenced by the huge volcano remnants seen. Now evidence of early oceans and streams is piling up. One point that the video and the volcanic hypothesis agree is that due to Mars’ smaller size it was not gravitationally situated to retain its atmosphere and thus its water.

The link from John Tyler, 9:17 p.m., shows in its entirety the testimony of Lindzen and Happer (highly qualified physics professors) before the SEC on its proposed “climate change” rule. It is excellent! Naturally, the SEC ignored them. The states which prevailed in the Supreme Court have already written to the SEC pointing out that it has, even more than the EPA, no statutory authority to require anything to do with CO2 emissions.

Griffin, sdferr, physicsguy, and others concerned about COVID scare-mongering:

Bill Jacobson over at Legal Insurrection just posted an item about a physician who got kicked off Twitter for posting a link to an article (from a respected medical journal) about a study indicating that the COVID vaxxes reduce men’s sperm counts:

https://legalinsurrection.com/2022/07/physician-threatens-to-sue-twitter-over-suspension-for-tweeting-scientific-article-on-covid-19-vaccine-lowering-sperm-counts/

Griffin said at 2:03 p.m., “As the calls for mask mandates return and here in a couple months more booster requirements these people [doctors and researchers at the CDC and FDA] need to speak up. Have some integrity.”

Just think what could happen if word gets out that guys who want to be fathers some day (or who are already dads) might be risking their fertility if they submit to an endless series of COVID boosters . . . . Fauci would be looking for a bombproof hideout at the very least.

Looks like “Biden” might have to double-, triple- and even quadruple-down to help out his pals in China.
‘ “The Damage Could Be Huge”: Chinese Banks Tumble, Swept Up In Mortgage Nonpayment Scandal As Borrowers Revolt ‘

Yikes (sire): The peasants are revolting!

OTOH, the “In-The-Red” Guards(?) seem to just be following in the footsteps of “The Great Helmsman”‘s inspiring (if insipid) poetry…

Indeed “Let a hundred [million] flowers default…”

File under: “Swept away” (the sequel)…

Cornflour:

There’s some great science stuff on YouTube and all kinds of other educational things. I often listen to them, speeded up, when I do housework. I especially like things about geology and cosmology, as well as early hominids and cultural history (the development of agriculture and that sort of thing). Then for entertainment, videos about the development of fashion, and of course the Bee Gees.
