Climate change: July set to be world's warmest month on record
placeholder replied to Social Media's topic in The Green Forum
Here's a link to the peer reviewers comments that show the emptiness of Patrick Brown's claim of bias. And Patrick Brown's replies. You will see that he argued against making the research more inclusive. https://static-content.springer.com/esm/art%3A10.1038%2Fs41586-023-06444-3/MediaObjects/41586_2023_6444_MOESM2_ESM.pdf -

Outrage over Abbas's antisemitic speech on Jews and Holocaust

No. I caught your point. Things are bad enough in Gaza for the Palestinians without invoking the Holocaust. You claimed that the experience of those in Gaza was like Auschwitz minus the gas chambers. I showed you what it was like for people who weren't gassed but survived. In other words Auschwitz minus the gas chambers. -
Thank you for your detailed and fact-filled rebuttal. Modi fan much? ‘Bharat’ or ‘India’? The Controversy Over Some Hindu Nationalists' Push to Rename India The government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has referred to India as “Bharat” in invites for a dinner party at the upcoming G-20 Summit in New Delhi, a move that has sparked controversy. The invites referred to the President of India, Droupadi Murmu, as “President of Bharat.” News of the invites comes two days after Mohan Bhagwat, the chief of the Hindu nationalist organization Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, an ideological mentor of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party, said in a speech that the country should use the word Bharat instead of India. https://time.com/6310821/bjp-rename-india-bharat/

Conditions are bad enough in the Gaza strip without resorting to such hyperbole. Here is a photo of some Auschwitz survivors https://wagner.edu/holocaust-center/ruchama-rachel-rothstein-rachel-roth/ -

Yes, Danderman. All you are doing is parroting. You see, there is no such thing as expertise acquired by years of studying and training to learn to the highly technical aspects of climate research. All you have to do is claim to have sat down and have read and analyzed the results for yourself. And when you do, you, like some others here, you will not offer any actual factual rebuttals of what these reports show, but, instead you will demonstrate your mastery by offering all sorts of accusations and slurs. You will prove your mastery of the subject by offering 0 fact-based rebuttals of the scientific conclusions of climatologists. You will offer rants instead of engaging with the science. And that is how you will demonstrate your mastery of the subject. Of course, this demonstrated mastery will be indistinguishable from a rebuttal offered by someone with no knowledge of the subject, but the crucial fact is that we will accept your word because you say that you have done the research. And just because you offer no hard scientific evidence to back your case, or, for that matter, any familiarity with the research, that is no reason to doubt your word. Because you are you. -
Every time I catch you out, all you respond with is an empty insult. You've got nothing.

Yes. Millions of investors do. And those investors who decided to invest in the beginning of the New Year realized quite a spectacular appreciation on their investment. And those who invested before the big runup are still enjoying huge gains on their investment. What makes the point in time you picked so special?

Talk about burying the lede. Just like the headline writer of this piece. Other venues reported it like this: Fulton County special grand jury recommended charges against Lindsey Graham, David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/08/politics/fulton-county-special-grand-jury-report/index.html

You conveniently forgot that it takes 14 tanker trucks of hydrogen to be the energy equivalent of 1 tanker of gasoline. You also conveniently forgot that the cost of building a hydrogen filling station is far more than the cost of building a conventional station. You also don't seem to know that ev batteries are lasting far longer than projected. Which is unfortunate for the ev battery recycling plants you also don't seem to know about. In fact even after an ev vehiicle has died, the batteries can still be used for energy storage. More bad news for ev battery recycling plants. You also don't seem to know that rare earths aren't used for ev batteries but for the magnets. Tesla claims it will be making magnets that don't require rare earths. Also that while silver in an EV vehicle at most amounts to 50 grams. ICE vehicles require 3-7 grams of platinum in their catalytic converters.. Platinum is far scarcer than silver. Which is reflected in the fact that currently it costs almost 40 times as much. As for wait times, who cares how long it takes to refill an EV battery at home? And the situation is not nearly so dire as you claim. You're just cherry-picking horror stories. If the experience was as bad as you claim it is, why are EV sales still growing as a percentage of the vehicle industry?

Vietnam pilot who disregarded direct order gets Medal of Honor

Anybody can read whatever they like into it. In other words, any interpretation is about as definitive as the result of a Rorschach test. -
"People" in general? Or "people" like you? Why not just from the beginning of 2023? Back then the price was about $108 dollars. Now it's at $248. Two can play the cherry-picking game.

Court decriminalises abortion across Mexico

Well, it will certainly be a boon for the ob/gyn clinics in Mexican states bordering on Texas. -
I don't think that nationality should disqualify someone from addressing an issue. A better case could be made for knowledgeability. What I don't understand is why someone to whom it has been repeatedly demonstrated that he's got his facts wrong, continues to post those same errors over and over again.

I gather you think you've set a cunning trap. Good luck with that. Basically, the lead author of this research, Patrick Brown, said he censored himself to confine his research to looking for the role that climate change caused in increasing the likelihood of wildfires. He didn't look for any other causes He did that, he claimed, because if he hadn't done do, his piece wouldn't have gotten published. In fact, as the article I'm going to link to below to show that just in Nature, the journal he published in, 3 articles published in the last month all explicitly discuss causes other than climate change for various extreme weather incidents and disasters. In addition, editors at Nature pushed Brown to include other possible causes but he pushed back. In other words, he's lying. https://archive.ph/Pa236 https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2023/09/08/no-climate-scientists-aren-t-being-forced-to-exaggerate/452dfb72-4e36-11ee-bfca-04e0ac43f9e4_story.html -

First off, you can't monopolize a percentage. Either you've monopolizes something or not. Second, do you believe that super rich non Jewish Americans involved in the Global financial system are morally worse than the average American? -

Actually, false. Jewish and Christian communities thrived in the Mideast for over a thousand years in many Muslim ruled lands.. There is a strong Hadith from Mohammed that says "Respect the people of the Book". This was taken to mean Christians and Jews. The basis of the current conflict is the establishment of Israel and resentment of the West for imposing it. Even those areas of the Islamic world that were quite intolerant of Jews and Christians never subscribed to the various conspiratorial and vicious tales that were current in the Western world. It was only with the advent of colonialism, that perjured documents such as the Protocols of the Elders of Zion found a receptive audience in the Mideast. Before that, even in intolerant areas of the Mideast, the Jews may have been looked down on, but they weren't demonized. -

Well, it only hurts the Palestinian cause when a leader indulges in flagrant antisemitism. It gives the Israeli govt a useful distraction from the issue of their miserable treatment of Palestinians.
