Eco-fascists stop newspapers.

Re: Africa.

In geologic time frames, yes, the Arabic peninsula has rain shadow etc. going on.

But N. Africa, right on the Mediterranean? That's not lands that shifted thousands of feet in altitude while the Greeks invented baklava. That's one of the great human caused eco-disasters, PLUS actual climate change.

Marginally habitable area because of prevailing winds, then over grazing ( sheep are much harder on plants than cows ) and farming hammered the land. War has destroyed the water works built by previous civilizations, like Carthage.

Exactly what the changes are that make the Sahara Forest so green and pleasant are open to argument until a reliable time machine can show us a broader sweep of history. ( and regulations changed to prevent more camera drones from appearing to prophets who changed history reporting visitation from angels )

No one wants another time quake to ruin civilization again. It's bad enough the kids today can't remember the great cultures that disappeared without a trace after the terrible accident at the Gibraltar Dam. ; )

I said dry conditions, not desertification. : ) Saudi Arabia is doing some interesting work in restoring the ability of the land to retain rain water and replenish aquifers. Saudi used to grow their own food.

Ah! Dry conditions! Must be Trump's fault!

The above article is a bit rough on the fireman's union, which I bet just took advantage of the State Government insanity, and mostly in self defense, since California Legislators are notoriously uncaring who dies unless properly bribed to care.

Forests and the environment at large will be destroyed and subjects of this eco-tyranny forbidden to leave their State Assigned Housing to see the world as it is. The Parks will be deemed too delicate to be disturbed by the nasty peasants, and the ruins of The Park Service will be Occupied by mansions of billionaire Leftists, protected from you by armed security forces & walls. It's the Green New Normal Way.

While I realize the above sounds reactionary, it's the obvious result of the attitude of Lefty Leaders like the Governor that ordered recreational boating forbidden with the excuse of Plague while her husband ignores her whims & goes boating in his toy that costs more than most homes in her State.

Rules don't apply to the Power Elite.

Or the Governor of Ca!ifornia not closing his own winery... While ordering his competitors shut down. Laws for thee but not me.

Or the... List goes on.

The earliest immigrants to California understood wild fires better than the current Governor. Probably understood tyranny better too.

As I've seen pointed out somewhere (may have been here, may have been on one of the other forums I frequent), it's funny how these "climate disaster fires" are ONLY happening in Kalifornia. Not Ohio. Or Israel. Or Columbia. Or Jamaica. Or anywhere ELSE on the planet.

Hmmm....

I didn't know Ohio had Santa Ana winds! ; )

Israel has seasonal desert/sea hot dry winds, but not the forests and political stupidity of So-Cal. It's the eco-idiocy that burns whole counties.

In Oregon it's Marxists.

See if you can find a picture of Al Gore's Malibu beach mansion.

If they believed their own lies they wouldn't have bought doomed property.

If I understand the Biden Energy and Climate policy, Global Warming will be solved by 2035, when all humans are gone after being forbidden to emit carbon dioxide.

Oh, the Climate will keep changing until the Sun goes dim. But we won't know.

A few years ago I brought the news about thermal depolymerization (TPD) to the forum. Most folks thought it was snake oil, or pipe dreams. Today, Chevron Phillips Chemical Company announced the commercial scale production of polyethylene from mixed waste plastics. The plastic waste is essentially depolymerized, turned back into a liquid hydrocarbon, then repolymerized as virgin polyethylene. This is a game changer for plastics recycling, as recycled plastic is no longer relegated to park benches and crates, but can be used in food packaging, which is a significant percentage of single use and difficult-to-recycle plastics.

No, it's not racism that the pale blue people get more skin cancer! Or black Americans get Pooh's Breath easier.

But it IS racism to blame unrelated science and math facts on racism.

And it's blatant racism to say it's "a white Privilege thing" that 2+2=4.

For the umpteenth time. Climate change is real. It's the norm. Clean air water and soil are good. Pollution is bad. Leftists Lie.

Any questions?

It's the norm.

Yup.

They're "seasons" of a sort...just, instead of four a year, it's one change every 500 years or so.

EVERYTHING on this planet, is cyclical.

Tides, twice a day.
Sun, once a day.
Moon, once a month.
Seasons, four a year.
Earth around the sun, once a year.

...and, warm period/cool period, every 500 years or so.

Not right. Not wrong. Just....IS. Warm periods are 1 or 2 degrees warmer; cool periods are 1 or 2 degrees cooler. Ebb and flow, in and out, up and down...it's life.

The reason people don't "get" it, is because we're stupid, and cannot grasp that something (ANYthing) is actually bigger than we are, and that we have no control over it.

There's also the provincial ignorance of life ever being different. The assumption it's always been this way.
