a 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.
Charts that track CO2 show clearly a rise in levels since the 1950's. This corresponds to post war development, commercial airlines etc. CO2 levels are the highest they have been in 3 million years according ti a cnn report today.
This rapid change is not normal, or natural. The only question is how bad the effects will be to the planet and life.
If it does drive extreme weather events, it could become a sovereign risk to some countries before long due to the high costs of management.
im in the midst of doing an audit of my online presence, and found that, shockingly, this account is still active.
since there is no way to change the password that i can find, im curious if the account can just be outright deleted?.
thanks.
No such thing as security through obscurity on the internet,
'last night's flccc weekly update featured stories of families who fought in court to compel hospitals to give their loved ones ivermectin.
that it has come to this is tragic.
63 studies have now shown ivermectin’s efficacy in all stages of c19 disease.'.

It doesnt matter how many CAPS you use, or how often you use an exclamation mark- it doesnt make what you say accurate.
Another unfounded , ivermectin rant that wouldnt be complete without mention of Fauci and Trump, the CDC and unsubstantiated claims of payouts to doctors to keep it all quiet and let people die.
Just like the O.P. that stated, ' 63 studies that prove ivermectins efficacy in all stages of treating covid19' , without any link at all to that claim, which is just a copy and paste of a twitter post.
This is typical of the 'fact-checking' and 'research' that we've come to expect from people that have allowed political preferences and skepticism to become their delusion.
Is it a cry for help because the world isnt giving you the attention you crave at the moment?
Plenty of elders with questionable morals, one was an affair with a sister he used to pick up for witnessing. Another I know was soliciting prostitutes. A lot of alcoholics.
But the one that annoyed me the most was a stand- in C. O., who had a successful career as an architect, giving the Sunday talk on how wrong higher education is. I was ust shaking my head through the whole thing.
at the moment there does not seem to be any place to flee to from covid mandates and restrictions.
we are stuck like the first century christians in jerusalem.
but jesus said when the disgusting thing would stand in the holy place, it was time to swiftly flee to the mountains.. will jehovah god open a path to security where we can be in safety?
Anonymous, we have a recent example in history of letting a virus 'burn out', namely the spanish flu.
The first wave was actually not terrible, maybe some people thought it had 'burned out' after that stage.
The second wave that returned had mutated into a monster before it finally 'burned out' leaving 50- 100 million dead. India, was once again, hit badly
Thats why everyone whining about how bad we have it because of lockdowns, and lets get guns and fight the government, arent learning from history, and, actually how fortunate we are to even have a vaccine to prevent a possible worse catastrophe.

wingcommander:
'How's that gun ban working out for you now, Aussies? They can't even have an uprising, even if they wanted one, because they are unarmed SHEEPLE.'
Yeh, lets fight the government because we are crybabies and cant deal with a temporary pandemic and the temporary health restrictions that come with it. Im sure that will make things better. FFS. Are you on drugs wingcommander?

Kosenen, good luck getting to Qld.
Qld is not even allowing Australians from other states to enter.
They have 0 covid cases last time I checked, they want to keep it that way.
The argument about keeping hospitals uncluttered is still a valid one. While smokers, fatty's and risk-takers will probably need hospitals at some stage, unvaccinated people are going to all need it at the same time.
just a few years ago, any man that slapped a women was considered a piece of shit.
today people are are paying and cheering to see a man knocking the shit out of a woman.
what feminists, social warriors, and gender recognition fighters don't realized is that their actions are actually causing the world to revert back to the days when the world treated women as property, second class species, with no rights whatsoever, whose only value was a sex instrument for the male species.
You can argue about correct gender pronouns, or testosterone levels forever but anyone with an ounce of sanity knows it simply isn't fair.
Example: men's Olympic 100m qualifying time is 10.05 seconds. The fastest time ever run by a woman; 10.45 secs . The womens world record gets beaten thousands of times a year by men.
It opens the door for any man to compete against women. If a bunch of men who rank anywhere in the top 500 of their sport decided to compete as girls, it would close the door to any natural born woman competing in that sport at high levels.
The guy in this situation was a really bad fighter, I read he only had 6 months of training. He was rocked a little at one stage, because he is a bad fighter, but after that he walked through the girls punches and at one stage, almost took her head off with a punch, before choking her out.
Where are all the outraged feminists on this subject??
so my jw father is sick.
my mother uses the opportunity to try and preach to my 16 year old daughter.
i simply told my mother to: "please refrain from trying to lure *my daughter* in with jehovah's witness questioning.
"Do you pray to Jehovah?"
Such an innocent sounding question but we all know its nothing more than a sales tactic, sadly.
if jw wants to know the truth about the truth, what will you talk about first?
A 'truth' that I read on this site is something I haven't forgotten. I wish I could remember who said it but I cant find the thread.
Anyway, it went something like this:
Although they would be shocked to hear it, JW's do not actually have any deep-seated, personal beliefs. Their beliefs - and therefore their 'truth', is subject to whatever the latest watchtower tells them it is.
