The Little Ice Age of the 1700s was a dip in the long term global cooling trend, since the Interglacial Maximum 8,000 years ago. Carbon Dioxide traps heat in the lower Troposphere. The amount of CO2 added by humans is measureable, the amount of heat trapped by the additional CO2 is measureable, and the increase in heat worldwide is constantly measured. Perhaps you have a source that contradicts the science, but I doubt it. You don't seem like a very science guy.

North Korea's Spy Satellite Explodes in Flight
Danderman123 replied to Social Media's topic in World News
There's a lot of support required to develop a rocket engine, and just having plans or a single example is not really sufficient. The classic case was the Russian NK-33 engine. A US company had 100 of them, obtained from the manufacturer. But the engines had been stored for 30 years in a shed in Russia, and the metal components degraded, without the manufacturer understanding the issue. The original designers worked at another company, but they were not consulted in the engine purchase deal. So, eventually, the engine decided to explode upon launch. The Russians still use the engine, but only those acquired from the designer, not those stored by the manufacturer. -
50,000+ Russian soldiers have been verified killed by Russian media (burial announcements and the like). The official Ukrainian figure of 500,000 includes killed, wounded and captured. There probably are no more than 100,000 dead Russian soldiers, but I have no idea how Ukraine counts wounded Russian soldiers.

Nobody cares about Starmer. They just want the Tories out.

North Korea's Spy Satellite Explodes in Flight

Previously, it was Russian stuff. They got their hands on an RD-219 engine (dual thrust chamber), cut it in half, and then clustered them. But that engine was first designed in 1959 and is very inefficient. Previously, they played with Scud engines which are available from many places, but those are small and inefficient (the Scud engine is based on an old German WWII design, which the US Vanguard rocket was also based on). This new engine uses LOX/Kerosene, which is easier to use, and can be more efficient, if it doesn't explode. -
The Defense's closing argument was weak and easily rebutted by the Prosecution. The prosecutor handling the close is a pro, and knows what he is doing. Even though it's a long close, the jury seems to be hanging in there. The jury will probably deliberate through Friday, and there is a small chance of a single holdout juror. Otherwise, Trump will be convicted.

The engine that blew up probably came from Russia. -

I'm not familiar with this new rocket engine. Anyone have any leads on where it came from? -

If Hamas had gotten a lucky hit with its rockets, and killed a few dozen Israeli civilians, would you condemn the attack? -

Do they have the right to hold hostages? -

Your friend Nikki Haley is signing IDF bombs. Will she be Trump's VP choice?
