If the cartoon shown is real, and not AI, I surmise thus: Bernie may find that inserting a 4-pronged dinner fork into a 3-pronged electrical outlet poses a practical challenge in terms of fit. But with determination and perhaps a good pair of pliers, I am confident he will find his way.

Al Gore, a well known Comedian......father of the carbon credit.

Al Gore's family made most of their money with Occidental Oil Company.

The present is rooted in the past. The Democrats love the coal industry, take the well known comedian Al Gore for example.Occidental's coal interests were represented for many years by attorney and former U.S. Senator Albert Arnold Gore, Sr., among others. Gore, who had a longtime close friendship with Hammer, became the head of the subsidiary Island Creek Coal Company, upon his election loss in the Senate. Much of Occidental's coal and phosphate production was in Tennessee, the state Gore represented in the Senate, and Gore owned shares in the company.

So much for the fake concern about Global warming?The present is rooted in the past. Nobel Prize given to the family who caused the problem in the first place?

Al Gore's own father Albert Gore Senior VOTED AGAINST the Civil Rights Act. 

Al Gore tried create a similar market for carbon dioxide. Making lavish contributions to environmental groups like the Nature Conservancy, whose Climate Change Project argued for restrictions on carbon emissions, Enron then hired Christopher Horner, a former staffer on Senator Joe Lieberman's Environment Committee, to lobby for an international treaty that would restrict emissions and allow for trading in emission rights. 

Al Gore, tried create a similar market for carbon dioxide.  By the end of the decade, Gore was already being hailed as a candidate to become the world's first carbon billionaire. Question will the real Al Gore stand up?

Albert Arnold Gore, Sr. , was a close friend of Armand Hammer, the oil tycoon behind Occidental Petroleum. After losing a Senate race in 1970, Gore's father went to work for Hammer at Occidental for $500,000 a year.

Over the course of his career, Gore, Sr. accumulated hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of Occidental Petroleum stock, which fell into the hands of the executor of his estate at the time of his death: none other than his son, Al Gore.

The Occidental connection does not end there. Discovering zinc ore on their Tennessee estate, Hammer bought the Gores' land and sold it back to them with a claim on the mining rights, complete with a $20,000 annual payment, which also went to Gore after his father's death. In 2013, Gore earned $100 million from the Qatari government on the sale of his "Current TV" venture, and then was surprised when reporters were more interested in discussing his oil money than his new book on the global warming cause.

Occidental's coal interests were represented for many years by attorney and former U.S. Senator Albert Arnold Gore, Sr., among others. Gore, who had a longtime close friendship with Hammer, became the head of the subsidiary Island Creek Coal Company, upon his election loss in the Senate.

Much of Occidental's coal and phosphate production was in Tennessee, the state Gore represented in the Senate, and Gore owned shares in the company. So much for the fake concern about Global warming?  When Sir Gore died, everything went to Al Gore.

TN despised Gore, and did not vote for him when he ran for President—didn’t he sell his TV conglomerate to Aljazera? If so, it figures.

According to Grok, Gore and his partner did sell their TV conglomerate to

Al Jazeera for aprox $500 million.

What a traitor. He sold America out for 30 pieces of silver—typical Democrat.

Yes, he did...The Aftermath: Al Jazeera ultimately used the network to launch Al Jazeera America, though the cable footprint shrank significantly when providers like Time Warner Cable dropped the channel following the change of ownership.

Global warming Fraud is turning 45! Not only has the current spate of global warming been going on for about 45 years now, but also the term “global warming” will have its 45th anniversary in 2020.

Here are 18 examples of the spectacularly wrong predictions made around 1970 when the “green holy day” (aka Earth Day) started:

1. Harvard biologist George Wald estimated that “civilization will end within 15 or 30 years unless immediate action is taken against problems facing mankind.”

2. “We are in an environmental crisis which threatens the survival of this nation, and of the world as a suitable place of human habitation,” wrote Washington University biologist Barry Commoner in the Earth Day issue of the scholarly journal Environment.

3. The day after the first Earth Day, the New York Times editorial page warned, “Man must stop pollution and conserve his resources, not merely to enhance existence but to save the race from intolerable deterioration and possible extinction.”

4. “Population will inevitably and completely outstrip whatever small increases in food supplies we make,” Paul Ehrlich confidently declared in the April 1970 Mademoiselle. “The death rate will increase until at least 100-200 million people per year will be starving to death during the next ten years.”

5. “Most of the people who are going to die in the greatest cataclysm in the history of man have already been born,” wrote Paul Ehrlich in a 1969 essay titled “Eco-Catastrophe! “By…[1975] some experts feel that food shortages will have escalated the present level of world hunger and starvation into famines of unbelievable proportions. Other experts, more optimistically, think the ultimate food-population collision will not occur until the decade of the 1980s.”

6. Ehrlich sketched out his most alarmist scenario for the 1970 Earth Day issue of The Progressive, assuring readers that between 1980 and 1989, some 4 billion people, including 65 million Americans, would perish in the “Great Die-Off.”

7. “It is already too late to avoid mass starvation,” declared Denis Hayes, the chief organizer for Earth Day, in the Spring 1970 issue of The Living Wilderness.

8. Peter Gunter, a North Texas State University professor, wrote in 1970, “Demographers agree almost unanimously on the following grim timetable: by 1975 widespread famines will begin in India; these will spread by 1990 to include all of India, Pakistan, China and the Near East, Africa. By the year 2000, or conceivably sooner, South and Central America will exist under famine http://conditions….By (http://conditions….By) the year 2000, thirty years from now, the entire world, with the exception of Western Europe, North America, and Australia, will be in famine.”

9. In January 1970, Life reported, “Scientists have solid experimental and theoretical evidence to support…the following predictions: In a decade, urban dwellers will have to wear gas masks to survive air pollution…by 1985 air pollution will have reduced the amount of sunlight reaching earth by one half….”

10. Ecologist Kenneth Watt told Time that, “At the present rate of nitrogen buildup, it’s only a matter of time before light will be filtered out of the atmosphere and none of our land will be usable.”

11. Barry Commoner predicted that decaying organic pollutants would use up all of the oxygen in America’s rivers, causing freshwater fish to suffocate.

12. Paul Ehrlich chimed in, predicting in his 1970 that “air pollution…is certainly going to take hundreds of thousands of lives in the next few years alone.” Ehrlich sketched a scenario in which 200,000 Americans would die in 1973 during “smog disasters” in New York and Los Angeles.

13. Paul Ehrlich warned in the May 1970 issue of Audubon that DDT and other chlorinated hydrocarbons “may have substantially reduced the life expectancy of people born since 1945.” Ehrlich warned that Americans born since 1946…now had a life expectancy of only 49 years, and he predicted that if current patterns continued this expectancy would reach 42 years by 1980, when it might level out.

14. Ecologist Kenneth Watt declared, “By the year 2000, if present trends continue, we will be using up crude oil at such a rate…that there won’t be any more crude oil. You’ll drive up to the pump and say, `Fill ‘er up, buddy,’ and he’ll say, `I am very sorry, there isn’t any.'”

15. Harrison Brown, a scientist at the National Academy of Sciences, published a chart in Scientific American that looked at metal reserves and estimated humanity would totally run out of copper shortly after 2000. Lead, zinc, tin, gold, and silver would be gone before 1990.

16. Sen. Gaylord Nelson wrote in Look that, “Dr. S. Dillon Ripley, secretary of the Smithsonian Institute, believes that in 25 years, somewhere between 75 and 80 percent of all the species of living animals will be extinct.”

17. In 1975, Paul Ehrlich predicted that “since more than nine-tenths of the original tropical rainforests will be removed in most areas within the next 30 years or so, it is expected that half of the organisms in these areas will vanish with it.”

18. Kenneth Watt warned about a pending Ice Age in a speech. “The world has been chilling sharply for about twenty years,” he declared. “If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder than the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder in the year 2000. This is about twice what it would take to put us into an ice age.”

50 Years of failed Eco-pocalyptic predictions

Modern doomsayers have been predicting climate and environmental disaster since the 1960s. They continue to do so today.

None of the apocalyptic predictions with due dates as of today have come true.

What follows is a collection of notably wild predictions from notable people in government and science.

More than merely spotlighting the failed predictions, this collection shows that the makers of failed apocalyptic predictions often are individuals holding respected positions in government and science.

James Schwartz's avatar

I recall proudly the bi-centennial. The whole country was patriotic and red white and blue were everywhere. Personally, I’m recreating it at my home but the mood around the country surely isn’t the same.

I have asked that question before - why aren't the illegals trying to make their homeland better before coming here to ruin us?

Jane Tracy's avatar

I’ve wondered the same thing!

LB (Little Birdie)'s avatar

Why would certain people go to a bookstore right in the neighborhood they live in and pay if they can go to a library across town and get it all for free, and not get fined if not returned. Our library had 1 family who garnered over $1K of items, including IPads and other gaming equipment over a number of years. They were certainly not the only ones. Most probably got sold. Never returned, never fined, were finally banned. Same thing, somewhat smaller scale.

Another analogy, why would people eat beans when they can have steak and they don't even have to do the work of cooking it. Built in chef!

The USA is seen as an rich, easy mark, who doesn't keep track of it's goods, money, etc. Not saying all illegals are on the take, and hey, even the best of us eat a grape or strawberry on occasion at the grocery to check them out. There are some who truly want to make a better life for their family and are willing to acclimate.

What part of this is BS?

Gayle's avatar

So? Obama bombed seven countries in his two terms. The difference is Trump doesn’t dick around appeasing our enemies nor allow terrorist to terrorize their own defenseless people.

Jennifer A Runquist's avatar

I am wondering if we are getting truth about the mood of the country, although the country is varied and complex. I think the media is a shaky truth provider, but remember Trump got elected so that is somewhat of an indicator. We will see when the Patriot side tries to celebrate the 250th and the “others” try to interfere, but many are paid protesters as pointed out now in NJ.

LB (Little Birdie)'s avatar

I wish it had stayed closer to a non partisan event and not a rally for Trump. I keep hoping we move closer together, not widening the chasm. Hear all the music cancelled because they wanted to stay neutral. This is the Nations Birthday, where all should be celebrating and trying to find common ground.

Between the regulations on the property and the new found regulations they found for our business ( after already being in business for years) we almost chucked the whole venture! Persevered however and made it a success. But that video brought back a lot of memories! Have a nice week ahead, everyone!

John Guy's avatar

It appears the original beliefs of Transgenderism come from a certain section of Judaism(Kabbalah is Jewish mysticism) and Luciferin's - is a belief system that venerates the essential characteristics that are affixed to Lucifer. Therefore an attack on Christian belief system.

Transgenderism’s Roots in Luciferian Misogyny... "the Baphomet’s properties are incapable of consummating with each other to produce life; and so too is the Luciferian ideology, that blurs the divine distinction between the Masculine and Feminine, powerless to promote the good of the world. Baphomet's impotency can only lead to death."

"The blurring gender-confusion of the Baphomet has begun to take full root, leading to castration, self-inflicted impotency, and inevitably societal death as the instruments of life are increasingly mutilated."

https://tribe-of-benjamin.com/2023/06/03/transgenderisms-roots-in-luciferian-misogyny/

Who is behind transgenderism?

The Eight Genders in the Talmud:

The Talmud, a huge and authoritative compendium of Jewish legal traditions, contains in fact no less than eight gender designations including:

Zachar, male.

Nekevah, female.

Androgynous, having both male and female characteristics.

Tumtum, lacking sexual characteristics.

Aylonit hamah, identified female at birth but later naturally developing male characteristics.

Aylonit Adam, identified female at birth but later developed male characteristics through human intervention.

Saris hamah, identified male at birth but later naturally developing female characteristics.

Saris Adam, identified male at birth and later developed female characteristics through human intervention.

In fact, not only did the rabbis recognize six genders that were neither male nor female, they had a tradition that the first human being was both. Versions of this midrash are found throughout rabbinic literature, including in the Talmud:

$41B. Yeah, that sounds like a lot of money. But the time, planning, and effort that have gone into destroying the old world order and ushering in the new are enormous. And with that in mind, this almost seems a reasonable figure. What is unreasonable is to expect the elites to pay out of their own pockets, though the boundaries between their pockets and our pockets can be very faint. Undermining the western world is not cheap, and stinginess on our part is just a bad look. Unseemly, even. And shame on us for making Christoph Heusgen cry.

Joseph Kaplan's avatar

The question I always asked is simpler (for non mathematicians). When was earth ever at the perfect temp? What was it? Where?

John Guy's avatar

Man made global warming/Climate change theory is best described as " a beggar, wrapped in purple, whom ignorant people mistook for a king." Their theory is a mass of errors and deceptive ideas and opposed to common sense. It is like we are watching an episode of TreeHuggers Gone Wild.

In reality, the earth's greenhouse effect is a good thing. If not for the greenhouse effect, earth's average surface temperature would be -18°C (Celsius), or -40°F (Fahrenheit). Instead, our planet exists at a livable 15°C, or 59°F.

The weather system of Earth is self-balancing, self-adjusting, self-cleansing.

The Sun, Jet stream, Oceans, Ring of Fire and Electrojets are in control, we the human race are irrelevant.

The Global thermodynamic equilibrium of the Sun-Earth-Oceans weather dynamics is too large in scale and size from mankind to have any affect. 29% of Earth is land mass. Of that 29% humans occupy less than 1% of that area. Of the remaining 28% about 40% is pure wilderness.

Even if CO2 had an effect, the idea that Man’s 4% or .00156% of total CO2flux rules the other natural 96%(0.039) flux in and out of sea/land requires a conspiracy of nature to follow man’s activity. This is deranged. It follows War should be declared on termites which emit 10x Man’s CO2 equivalent.

CO2 constitutes only 0.039 percent of air. CO2 is a harmless, trace gas. It is necessary for life – just as oxygen and nitrogen are. It is a natural gas , and it is in no way a pollutant. There is no evidence that CO2 has caused the temperature to change in the past. All studies of temperature and CO2 levels in the past show that it is the temperature changing which changes the CO2 level and not the other way round.

If you want to know what controls the weather on Earth, look up in the sky, it is called the Sun. The Sun is Prime mover of the weather.

You will recall there was an Ice age 12000 years ago, or glacial period. The last glaciation centered on the , Laurentide Ice Sheet , was a massive sheet of ice that covered millions of square miles, including most of Canada and a large portion of the Northern United States . It went away without any help from man.

Jennifer A Runquist's avatar

Such good facts. Had no idea termites produced CO2!in the first place. In fact how do you know some of this stuff? I did publish in photosynthesis on an enzyme that produced 5 carbon sugar that is the substrate for carboxylase which adds the last carbon to make the six carbon sugar glucose that the biosphere depends upon. Obviously this generation of fear of CO2 is an effort to take down oil and gas, which by the way came from plants. We need to use that oil and gas to get CO2 back into the atmosphere, which is low on CO2, Needed for the biosphere. Has anyone estimated where all the carbon is sequestered on earth? Ocean, shells, limestone, oil, gas, biosphere, atmosphere?

John Guy's avatar

CO2 is a life-giving gas for plants, Commercial greenhouses are aware of this and commonly use CO2 generators(up to 1500ppm) to maximize production.

The average level of CO2 in the atmosphere is about 300 PPM (parts per million). If the level decreases down below 200 PPM in an enclosed growing area, plant growth slows to a halt.

Through the years of testing and research, the optimum enrichment level of CO2 for plant growth has been agreed to be about 1500 PPM. With CO2 enrichment, under good conditions, plant growth rates and flowering will increase 20-100%. CO2 can be used from seedling right through harvest.

**********************

Termites produce large quantities of Co2 and methane as they digest dead plant matter and cellulose. However, their emissions are part of a natural recycling loop, with the gas Co2 being (100%)balanced by the carbon originally drawn from the atmosphere by the plants they eat.

https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/20/4029/2023/

The Carbon Cycle: Because termites eat plant matter that recently sequestered carbon, the Co2 they release is simply being recycled back into the environment. It does not add new, underground carbon to the atmosphere the way burning fossil fuels does.

https://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/news/2022/september/climate-change-will-increase-termite-activity-releasing-more-carbon-dioxide.html

Biogenic Carbon: Termite emissions are part of the natural, balanced biological carbon cycle.

Fossil Carbon: Human emissions dig up and introduce brand-new carbon that was trapped underground for millions of years.

Methane Sinks: Natural bacteria in ⁠termite mounds consume up to half of the methane before it hits the atmosphere.

********************

The ocean naturally releases (or "creates" via outgassing) roughly 330 billion metric tons (Gigatonnes) of Co2 into the atmosphere every single year.

The Great Marine Exchange

The surface of the sea acts like a massive lung, constantly inhaling and exhaling gases in a balanced chemical dance:

The "Exhale" (Outgassing): Warm tropical waters and upwelling ocean currents naturally release about 330 Gigatonnes of CO2 annually into the air.

The "Inhale" (Absorption): Cold polar waters and microscopic plants (⁠phytoplankton) simultaneously absorb about 340 Gigatonnes of CO2 from the air every year.

Because the ocean absorbs more than it releases, it acts as a net carbon sink. It actively cleans up human-caused pollution by pulling a net total of roughly 9 to 10 billion metric tons of excess \(\text{CO}_{2}\) out of the atmosphere annually.

Because the ocean absorbs more than it releases, it acts as a net carbon sink. It actively cleans up human-caused pollution by pulling a net total of roughly 9 to 10 billion metric tons of excess CO2 out of the atmosphere annually.

The ocean's natural release of 330 Gigatonnes is nearly 9 times larger than global human emissions (which hover around 36–40 Gigatonnes).

Jennifer A Runquist's avatar

Also interested in your statement that humans occupy only 1% of the 29% of land on the earth’s surface. I assume that is based the land that is utilized by cities. Glad 49% essentially Wild, and lots going on in the oceans biosphere wise although that is limited to certain depths and hot water vents.

Half The World's Population Lives on 1% of Its Land

https://www.sciencealert.com/half-the-world-s-population-lives-on-1-of-its-land

The Greenhouse Effect is caused primarily by Water vapor in the Troposphere and is the most powerful greenhouse gas.

The ocean plays a key role in this vital cycle of water. The ocean holds 97% of the total water on the planet; 78% of global precipitation occurs over the ocean, and it is the source of 86% of global evaporation.................

About 71 percent of the Earth's surface is water-covered, and the oceans hold about 96.5 percent of all Earth's water.

Why? Releasing heat(IR) by evaporation by using water from the oceans, we call it weather and cooling.

In reality, the earth's greenhouse effect is a good thing. If not for the greenhouse effect, earth's average surface temperature would be -18°C (Celsius), or -40°F (Fahrenheit). Instead, our planet exists at a livable 15°C, or 59°F. We need more CO2, not less.

CO2 is actually a planet-saving nutrient that could multiply food production rates and feed the world more nutritious, healthy plants and ecosystem

It is called the "carbon cycle" and "water cycle" of nature: Plants are a good starting point when looking at the carbon cycle on Earth. Plants have a process called "carbon cycle" and photosynthesis that enables them to take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and combine it with water. Using the energy of the Sun, plants make sugars and oxygen molecules. In return plants exhale oxygen which allows you to breathe. We and the ecosystems need more C02, not less.

The reason why the CO2 atmosphere theory can never work is that the Ocean-atmosphere interface controls the amount of CO2 in air – a warmer ocean (which holds 50x more CO2 than the atmosphere) emits CO2 and vice versa. This is very basic physics*.

Taking a cold can of CO2 is actually a planet-saving nutrient that could multiply food production rates and feed the world more nutritious, healthy plants and ecosystems.Prove it to yourself at home - soda, place it on the table, if you let it warm up it will give off CO2.

The sea is a 'buffer' solution of many salts so anything added has even less effect.

There are other reasons why CO2 warmest theory must fail: a) the surface cooling effect of plants b) Non equilibrium thermodynamics in the atmosphere - i.e. the assumptions of the ‘theory’ are nonsense. *Henry's Law.

It's hard to understand how 30% of respondents think Jill is lying about going to a Waffle House with Joe after the debate.

Peggy, it's because I didn't read the line carefully enough....sigh! Definitely with the 70%!

Yes, I will admit, I was trying to open the link and it accidentally put my checkmark on the Waffle House. I need do overs!!

I figure there must be a lot of Democrats reading this post!

We’re old. Lived in Philadelphia where we saw the tall ships come up the Delaware River. Later watched amazing fire works.
