The global AD 536 catastrophe was caused by a volcano somewhere. It ended Teotihuacan in Mexico, Rome, the Britons in England, and provoked the plague of Justinian.

US and UK launch strikes against Houthi rebels in Yemen

Great to see New Zealand supporting the suppression of Houthi missile capability. -
Teotihuacan had a large population prior to 536 AD. I lived in a village in central Mexico that had a prior population of 400,000 at the time of the Spanish Conquest. If you dug a couple meters down, you would find ruins of abandoned houses miles from the village center.

Same for the large Native American sites in the US. A few stray Spaniards wandering around spread disease so when later explorers arrived, the sites were deserted.

The Maya collapse was contemporaneous with the Toltec collapse. Still don't know what happened.

The implication is that the city was abandoned at the time of the AD 536 global catastrophe.

Higher CO2 concentrations in the lower atmosphere cause higher atmospheric temperatures in the Troposphere. Anyone disagree? -

Ice core samples indicate that CO2 levels are currently higher than at any point in the last million years. -
Biden slams Trump for Capitol riot in 2024 campaign speech
Danderman123 replied to CharlieH's topic in World News
Nope. Because Congress was evacuated to safety, the insurrectionists just milled about, vandalizing offices. And so the military was called out and quashed the insurrection. -

Typical sentence for someone who didn't enter the Capitol. -

The plan was to take the Capitol, either detain or chase away Mike Pence, hold the certification vote under Mike Grassley, who would use Trump's alternate electors to declare Trump the winner. Failing that, Grassley would declare that the states with alternate electors should resolve the votes via their Republican majority legislatures. -
2023 confirmed as world's hottest year on record
Danderman123 replied to CharlieH's topic in World News
The atmosphere has been warming for 40 years. Your argument is an old trope, that current trends are insignificant when compared to geological time. Of course, using the long term approach in any situation is crazy - it's like saying you shouldn't mind a 20 year prison sentence because humans have been around for a million years, in one form or another. Common sense indicates that if the current trend continues, the situation would become dire for many people. The obvious counter to that would be for you to explain why the current trend won't continue, but there you come up empty. -

Obviously, you don't understand the conversation. I was responding to a new explanation, and my response incorporated the erroneous assertion. If you think you understand any of this: why is the Stratosphere cooling? -

You contradict yourself. As the ozone layer recovers, the Stratosphere should warm. Instead, the stratosphere has been cooling as the ozone layer recovers (except for a brief rise this year). So, why is the Stratosphere cooling despite the recovery of the Ozone layer? -

Breaking down a crime into its component parts, and then questioning the parts is a common propaganda technique. Few guns were brought, because they were not necessary, and if used, would provoke an immediate and crushing response by the US Armed Forces. Conversely, the military could and did ignore what seemed to be a simple riot. Your propaganda point doesn't change the fact that Trump organized a treasonous insurrection. Your internet masters can't give you talking points to cover up Trump's crimes.
