  1. I agree, it isn't hard to find corroborating written material for anything one sees in a video which purports to be factual.
  2. translation: people who like to see the country. I started my travels in Thailand in koh samui in 1979 because of tales I had heard from backpackers on the London to Sydney overland route. If M MHS has transport going there they will also go there.
  3. Is that the same China that's spending. waaaay more money as a % of GDP than any other on moving to renewables?
  4. A conspiracy theory. Journalists are commonly embedded in one army or another on the understand they will be protected by that force.
  5. If Palestinians had a sovereign state you might have a point.
  6. What utter garbage. Basic physics says that increased atmospheric CO2 causes a rise it atmospheric temperatures and increased ocean acidity.
  7. Most people know the answer to that question already but keep following the white rabbit.
  8. Starting with burning fossil fuels being almost all of the problem.
  9. The earth has not warmed up because of 8 billion people's body temp. It does not stink because they all fart either.
  10. Just waiting for the right wing to suggest Trump is all upset and mourning of his mother in law's death.
  11. which is really utterly irrelevant to the topic, neither affecting climate change or record temperatures. Oh, look! A rabbit!
  12. Volcanos do not cause global warming in any significant way. Burning fossil fuels does..
  13. More evidence that Trump is truly a traitor. One of Europe's most senior politicians recounted how former U.S. President Donald Trump privately warned that America would not come to the EU's aid if it was attacked militarily. "You need to understand that if Europe is under attack we will never come to help you and to support you," Trump told European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in 2020, according to French European Commissioner Thierry Breton, who was also present at a meeting at the World Economic Forum in Davos. "By the way, NATO is dead, and we will leave, we will quit NATO," Trump also said, according to Breton. https://www.politico.eu/article/donald-trump-vow-never-help-europe-attack-thierry-breton/
  14. This chart shows falling immigration for years now. The republican border crisis is manufactured BS in the long term. Studies confirm that today, the strongest pull for people crossing the border without authorization is the desire to be with family in the U.S. Stepped-up border security may make it more difficult and dangerous for people to successfully cross the border, but research has found that criminalizing unauthorized entry into the U.S. does not deter those fleeing violence, and may only delay those seeking to reunite with family. And that means issues such as violence in Central America will likely become even more relevant drivers of unauthorized immigration, shaping who arrives at the U.S. border and how America responds. https://www.npr.org/2018/06/22/622246815/unauthorized-immigration-in-three-graphs
  15. The US Labor Market Explains Most of the Increase in Illegal Immigration Many are blaming President Biden’s immigration policies for the rapid increase in border crosser. My colleague David Bier runs through many of Biden’s policy changes in immigration over the last several years in The New York Times. As Bier mentions in that piece and I wrote over a year ago, most of the increase in illegal immigration can be blamed on the strength of the labor market rather than the administration’s tinkering with border enforcement policies. https://www.cato.org/blog/us-labor-market-explains-most-increase-illegal-immigration
  16. Yup https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2021/07/26/immigrants-in-u-s-experienced-higher-unemployment-in-the-pandemic-but-have-closed-the-gap/
  17. It's highly likely that immigration was falling under Trump because jobs were falling. Then it rose again because a jobs boom arose during Biden's first 3 years. The main driver of illegal immigrants is jobs.
