For what it’s worth. It was an uneventful weekend, except the Daylight Stupid Saving started on Sunday morning. Nobody likes it, so why do we have it? You tell me. It’s also gotten a lot warmer. Today it will be 66 and tomorrow 72. Bear in mind a week ago it was below freezing so it’s a bit too much too soon. It would be great to live in a place where the weather is more temperate, that’s for sure. My neighbor has gone to Palm Springs to spend time with her sister. “All she does all day is sit by the pool and play golf.”
Not at the same time obviously, but it sounds good to me. This week it will be quite warm there. A 20 degree rise between Monday and Friday is somewhat extreme. The weather’s gone crazy everywhere. I’m certain they’re fucking with it, seeding the clouds and doing other kinds of mad things designed to stop whatever man made catastrophe that they imagine is real. Leave shit alone! Let’s pump the clouds full of chemicals. What could go wrong?
If you think I’m making this up, I’m not. It’s real, and it’s called Geoengineering.
Doctor Lamb rockin’ the thousand yard stare*
This is part of an interview with Associate Research Scientist Dr Kara D. Lamb from New York’s Columbia University “Climate School”.
“Climate geoengineering refers to a number of large-scale techniques that are used to try to reduce the impacts of climate change. Some methods focus on the reduction of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as through direct carbon capture or approaches that target methane, a powerful greenhouse gas.
Another set of methods, referred to under the umbrella of Solar Radiation Management (SRM), aim to increase the reflection of sunlight from the Earth’s atmosphere in order to cool the Earth’s climate. The most studied of these methods is stratospheric aerosol injection, which proposes to put sulfate aerosols high up in the Earth’s atmosphere to cool the climate (this is similar to the cooling effect that is observed after a large volcanic eruption, such as Mount Pinatubo in 1991).”
This would all be well and good if Climate Change actually existed, but this kind of meddling is causing problems where there weren’t any in the first place. We’ve never seen as much flooding on the planet since the days of Noah’s Ark, but I’m sure it’s unrelated to people messing with the fucking clouds everywhere. In other parts of the country people are pushing back against the “renewables” evangelism which is threatening to despoil nature and property values for dubious gains. Doctor Lamb’s website has some interesting observations about the climate. I’m no expert, but most of what’s there sounds like made-up bullshit. She’s also got that thousand yard stare, which is a dead giveaway.
It’s all so tiresome, but I won’t talk about politics, because there maybe somebody reading this who actually still believes in this stuff. What can I talk about then? I won’t mention the war, well…maybe I will.
I don’t think any of this was thought through, (or maybe it was?) because now we have an oil crisis. A lot of this “crisis” in my opinion is manufactured for profit. It wouldn’t be the first time. You gotta ask yourself who makes money from wars? The answer to that question may well lead us to the reason why these conflicts begin in the first place. It’s odd, but nobody ever talks about it.
Good Day
*The thousand-yard stare is the blank, unfocused gaze of people experiencing dissociation due to acute stress or traumatic events. The phrase was originally used to describe war combatants and the post-traumatic stress they exhibited but is now also used to refer to an unfocused gaze observed in people under any stressful situation, or in people with certain mental health conditions.
