Science News article: ‘Case closed’: 99.9% of scientists agree climate emergency caused by humans
by Disillusioned JW ina news article has the headline of " ‘case closed’: 99.9% of scientists agree climate emergency caused by humans"; see https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/oct/19/case-closed-999-of-scientists-agree-climate-emergency-caused-by-humans .
the article says in part the following.. 'the scientific consensus that humans are altering the climate has passed 99.9%, according to research that strengthens the case for global action at the cop26 summit in glasgow.. the degree of scientific certainty about the impact of greenhouse gases is now similar to the level of agreement on evolution and plate tectonics, the authors say, based on a survey of nearly 90,000 climate-related studies.
this means there is practically no doubt among experts that burning fossil fuels, such as oil, gas, coal, peat and trees, is heating the planet and causing more extreme weather.. a previous survey in 2013 showed 97% of studies published between 1991 and 2012 supported the idea that human activities are altering earth’s climate.. this has been updated and expanded by the study by cornell university that shows the tiny minority of sceptical voices has diminished to almost nothing as evidence mounts of the link between fossil-fuel burning and climate disruption.. the latest survey of peer-reviewed literature published from 2012 to november 2020 was conducted in two stages.

Vidqun,
I'm starting to think that maybe you are a double agent working for the ''climate change is caused by humans''
community.
The stuff you post is so easily knocked down by reference to facts that it has to be
a deliberate attempt by you to make those who believe ''climate change is not caused by humans'' look foolish.
It's staring to get a bit obvious now.

Covid virus transmission NOT tested in Pfizer trials
by BoogerMan inwhy isn't the world's media covering this revelation?.
if i'd lost a job, business, or reputation for refusing to "get jabbed and save other people's lives," i think i'd be demanding to know what "science" enforced some of the draconian laws & punishments on those who declined the "offer.".

Simon said,''The data is clear now that the places that locked down and vaccinated the most had the highest excess deaths.''
I didn't know that. I did find the following data which doesn't seem to agree with that conclusion.

''Conclusions Higher vaccination coverage was associated with lower rates of population level covid-19 mortality and incidence in the US.''

Will Ukraine win?
by Fisherman ini was under the impression that it was going to be a short war, that russia’s military would indeed subdue ukraine’s forces quickly but that is not happening.
seems that russia’s military power is much less than it’s reputed to be.
no guess how it will all end..

Bartolomeo,
Oh dear, now that worries me.
Does that mean that eventually Russia will want Norway, Estonia, Latvia and Poland (and possibly Finland if they join Nato) to relinquish Nato membership too?

Geographical inaccuracies you cant shake
by GabeAthouse inwhere your mental image of a place does not match up with where you intellectually know it actually is?
1. great britain: i always picture it to the west of france.

''One volcano puts more CO2 in atmosphere than all mankind's efforts for the period of the eruption.''
I tried but couldn't find back up for this assertion either.
Apart from this,
'' human activities emit a Mount St. Helens-sized eruption of CO2 every 2.5 hours ''

''Even if you don't mentally support it, you are implying that you do to others. Your very presence adds to the JW numbers ands gives a false impression. You and others like you are helping the org to survive. I take great offense at that and consider you to be a weak person. I could never support that organization in any way. You and I are as different as night and day.
addendum: Your faking it is contributing to the captivity of thousands like my family members. I hold you accountable for that.''
I agree.
I also hold PIMO's as bearing some responsibility for any deaths that result from the no blood rules. PIMO's add to the peer pressure that other Witnesses are under to comply with rules that can result in death.
But hey, it's a great social life. I should know, I was exactly the same as a PIMO myself for years.
