  1. From your article “The new sanctions target a Russian ship, the Ostap Sheremeta, involved in laying pipe for the project that is nearly complete” “The administration maintains it opposes the project but says it is a fait accompli.” feck·less /ˈfekləs/ adjective lacking initiative or strength of character; irresponsible. "a feckless mama's boy" Similar: useless worthless incompetent inefficient inept BTW bad orange man gone (except in the heads of lefties where he will live, rent free, forever)
  2. Biden canceled the Keystone pipeline, green lighted Russia’s pipeline, ended oil and gas leases on federal land and is now imploring OPEC to produce more oil. Can someone please explain how this makes sense?
  3. Lots of folks thought so when Trump was President.
  4. The withdrawal could have taken place when the mountain passes and Taliban strongholds were snowbound and bought the time necessary to complete our withdrawal in a less chaotic manner than we are witnessing now.
  5. I don’t know why they didn’t wait until the end of “fighting season” to initiate the withdrawal. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afghanistan_fighting_season The failure to appropriately react to the changes on the ground is unforgivable.
  6. Now for July 2021 “The average temperature last month across the contiguous U.S. was 75.5 degrees F (1.9 degrees above average), placing July 2021 in the 13th-warmest spot in the 127-year record.” How about that! This July was colder than last July. https://www.noaa.gov/news/us-west-hit-with-extreme-heat-drought-and-unrelenting-wildfires-in-july Just to be clear, this is not my opinion it is directly from the NOAA website
  7. It’s only fifth if you understand what “global” means.
  8. Taken directly from your post: “June 2021 placed as fifth-warmest June in the 142-year global climate record.” Not warmest, not second warmest, not third, not forth but fifth. The pause continues. (standing by for cherry picking)
  9. Because it wasn’t published yet, that is why I called it a “preview”. As I have already stated, I was unable to post the NOAA data showing no additional warming, however you were kind enough to do it for me, thanks again
  10. Thank you for posting this. I was in a “time out” for the last month and unable to post. As you so generously illustrated, the pause continues. Despite record levels of CO2 the climate stubbornly refuses to warm. The variance you noticed is because the “preview” was satellite data measuring the lower atmosphere and did not include ocean data. BTW your “no attribution” comment was priceless as it is in full view of “UHA Satellite-Based Temperature of the Global Lower Atmosphere (Version 6.0)” AKA attribution Thanks again, you are the gift that keeps on giving.
  11. Good catch, usually NOAA has US temps by now, I will post updated information when available BTW why does information piss folks off?
  12. FIFY Really you have to be delusional to think that renewables are the driving force behind the reduction of coal use in the US. Math tells us that it is natural gas.
  13. https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/news/national-climate-202007 US temps for July not even in the top ten.
  14. So…..because someone doesn’t like who wrote it, more than 350 new coal fired power plants ARE NOT being built? That seems to be a strange way of thinking. But then again so is thinking traffic circles and white roofs will mitigate bad weather.
  15. I don’t know why folks think I am out to anger them when I just share simple facts. Here is a good example: https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidblackmon/2021/08/02/forget-about-peak-oilwe-havent-even-reached-peak-coal-yet/?sh=2f029bf92a9b “Indeed, as the pushers of Peak Oil demand theory try in vain to revive their own always-wrong narrative, it now appears that the world has yet to even meet the peak of demand for the least environmentally friendly fuel of all, coal.”
  16. I understand your frustration, folks don’t like it when their world view is threatened. From systemic racism and man made climate change to the Tooth Fairy and Easter Bunny, it upsets people when these notions are challenged.
  17. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/oct/17/joe-biden-race-crime-bill-1994-policing “The 1994 crime bill paved the way to mass incarceration of Black Americans. Biden says his support was a ‘mistake’” What you are suggesting is 1994 all over again.
  18. By that definition white racism was irrelevant when we has a black President, black AG and black head of Homeland Security. No wonder Obama never mentioned systemic racism. He ran the system!
  19. The only GOP wave of consequence is going to break next November.
  20. Biden shut down the Keystone pipeline then removed Trump administration sanctions green lighting a Russian pipeline. Just who is Putin’s puppet?
  21. What is it about Chicago that makes it so prone to gun violence? If it were just the guns one would think Wisconsin would have the same problem. We have guns everywhere here in central PA including lots of MSRs (assault rifles to you lefties) yet we have no real issue with gun violence.
  22. I’m not outraged, I am amused. I was banned for a month after posting a video advocating hybrid cars and personal methane mitigation. I agree there is outrage, it just doesn’t reside with me.
