". . . man-made global-warming, which is a real thing . . . "
NO IT ISN'T! You have been completely bamboozled by the Globalist fraudster fake scientists and their completely fake computer models that ignore REAL inputs into the climate system. The entire purpose of the global warming-turned-"climate-change"-scam is to financially break humanity with insane carbon taxes and be the excuse to impose a totalitarian system of tracking/tracing/spying/monitoring social credit score "mark of the beast" implanted chips nightmare for EVERY HUMAN ACTIVITY under the guise of carbon use "causing" "climate change"!
It is all 100% FRAUD! Carbon is the basis of life itself on this planet. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is PLANT FERTILIZER. To call it "pollution" is scientific absurdity and a flat-out lie. The Earth needs MORE CO2, not less! The Earth was in a precarious carbon dioxide-starved situation before the modern era. It is only now beginning to recover. CO2 does NOT cause global warming EXCEPT in fradulent made-up computer MODELS. That's it: the ONLY place you will find man-made global warming! CO2 never causes global warming. It is exactly the opposite historically: natural warming periods always raise CO2 levels. The warming happens FIRST, then the CO2 goes up as it gets released from the biosphere and oceans due to the higher temperatures.
The Earth is starved for carbon because such astronomically-huge amounts of it have been locked away in all the massive coal and limestone deposits: billions of tons of it. At one time the Earth's atmosphere was about 300,000 ppm of CO2. Now it is a paltry 421ppm, up from a devastating dearth at about 180 ppm at its worst. Did that 300,000 ppm cause "runaway global warming"? NO, of course NOT! It can't! It is physically impossible because there are numerous natural feedback loops that self-limit it from getting out of control. Do the Globalist computer climate models take any of that into consideration? No! They are ridiculously overly-simplistic and basically only consider ONE parameter and that is carbon dioxide, but they don't use realistic numbers, but rather completely fake, made-up values. They are clueless!
Earth's climate is extremely complex. Many factors interact to produce a number of different cycles that create warming trends and cooling trends, including the major and minor Ice Ages. Warming happens naturally during the interglacial periods, and they have ZERO to do with human activity. We are nearing the end of our present interglacial period. The next Ice Age will be catastrophic for humanity, which may be a factor for why the Global elites are hell-bent on exterminating seven billion of us . . . most people won't survive anyway. Far more people die due to cold temperatures than to heat. (And we are NOT having higher-than-normal incidences of hurricanes, tornadoes, or severe storms . . . and the forest fires out west are caused by forest mismanagement, not "global warming" nonsense, and the higher dollar losses due to fires is from inflation and from increasing human encroachment into wildland areas . . . there is a whole lot of propaganda going on!) But closer temporally than a major Ice Age is a cooling period we are currently entering that will be as serious as the Maunder Minimum that caused the Little Ice Age that ended about 1850. We are coming into a Grand Solar Minimum, a part of the cycle that will invariably be a serious problem, with shorter growing seasons and droughts, plus increased volcanic activity, all converging now.
The primary driver of climate on Earth is the SUN, NOT CO2! The reason is complicated but involves the Sunspot cycles and coronal mass ejection activity that affects our radiation belt and the degree of bombardment with cosmic rays entering our atmosphere that energize sulphur dioxide molecules in the upper atmosphere which in turn act as "cloud seeding" nuclei. Low solar activity= more water vapor condensing into cloud cover that reflects solar radiation and cools the Earth. And water vapor also happens to be THE primary greenhouse gas, NOT CO2!!!!!! CO2 is only a teensy-tiny part of greenhouse gases, and the human-generated part of that is even more tiny.
Everything coming out of the UN's IPCC is pure "hogwash" B.S ! If humanity is going to survive this genocidal assault, we need to educate ourselves and stop playing into their hands. Learn some REAL SCIENCE, not their lies and crap! We MUST NOT COMPLY with their anti-human agenda. So please, don't fall for it, and stop agreeing with them!
Of course it is ! it was ready to go then and still is. The U-238 is still sitting around not being used. I mentioned my dislike for Gore. Why ? I simply cannot believe that he wasn't PAID handsomely to scuttle the original IFR reactor by big oil. I have no proof of this... but it stinks !
When I Attended the World Science Festivals, 'Nuclear, a new Look' in the mid 2000's. Dr. James Hansen, and an oriental fellow whom invented the IFR reactor were there on the panel. They specifically stated what I repeated. the IFR reactor (that was cancelled) was designed to use the U-238 'nuclear waste' as fuel, burning it down so that only 1% waste would be generated where there had once been 99% waste. That the original IFR reactor project was canceled is an outrage. because if it went forward (it passed its tests at Lawrence Livermore Labs)... we would be putting all the U-238 'waste' to good use. I've really intensely disliked Al Gore ever since becoming aware of this. And by the way... this Wikipedia post is not fully truthful. They DO NOT mention the specifics of the original, approved, design... which is a further outrage.

Hi again... If I'm not mistaken, the nuclear 'waste' is uranium 238 ? My understanding is that fuel rods used in 'Stage 2 Light Water reactors', which are the standard in the USA and elsewhere... are zirconium roads that have uranium 'hockey pucks' with a donut hole slid onto them. My understanding is that these rods contain 100 'pucks'. 99 are U-238... and only 1 is U-235. And only the U-235 puck is used, leaving 99 U-238 pucks as 'Nuclear Waste'. In the 1990's a new reactor design was finalized, tested, and ready to go into widespread use. It was called the 'IFR-Reactor (Integral Fast Reactor) It was also called a 'Breeder Reactor'. This reactor used all the U-238 'waste as fuel, with only 1% left over. Amazing ! And there's currently enough U-238 being stored as waste to power the planet for 1,000 Years ! What a boon to all mankind, right ? Wrong. Al Gore, as Vice President killed the funding for this project. His lame excuse was the possibility of nuclear proliferation and of terrorists getting the materials. This is what leads me to believe that the whole energy, carbon, climate mess is theater. IFR reactors could have made a serious difference. So back to my initial statement... I want my IFR reactor powered car ! And even beyond this... it's a call to 'keep the dream alive'. I feel that the fundamental & backbone of the USA is 'Dreamers' finding a way. Lets not lose this.
Finland mentioned: Yippee! And for once, not in context where we look like morons. But the study author, Simon Michaux, probably is not a Finn, I am afraid. The winter has begun in earnest here, -10C and lotsa snow already, somewhat early compared to last decade. Depending on what sort of electricity contracts people have made before the prices started to rise, some are paying an arm and a leg for electricity, and some (like me) are smug, havng a fixed price contract until fall next year. No real help from state.
A pet peeve: "The association between sildenafil use and decreased incidence of AD does not establish causality, which will require a randomized controlled trial." Sorry, in medicine so far, no causality exists. Causality is when you hit a billiard ball, it has to move, no other option. No randomized controlled trials ever can prove causality. Only correlation available through trials. Corruption of thinking, understanding and knowledge to mess up causality and correlation. Also elementary, should be taught in high-school. I'd like to go on, a lot, but life is short.

Hi Folks... the Audi Corp. created a synthetic Diesel fuel, made from only water and existing CO2 inn the atmosphere in 2015. Their execs used it to power their diesel Audi's. < https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1081102_audi-will-turn-renewable-energy-into-synthetic-diesel > Also, Sunfire.de created a syngas using much the same process. So the lack of Oil is really not such a problem in the long term/. See < https://www.sunfire.de/en/e-fuel >

Sildenafil: how'bout just B3?
Concering the virus-human interface: what if humans are meatbags for viruses? I do not agree, but a good reminder, that viruses may be more significant in being a human than what we care to think. And at the end of article an interesting hint concerning Alzheimer, too https://www.salon.com/2022/12/06/ancient-gave-us-a-gene-called-arc-and-it-may-explain-consciousness/
A pet peeve: "The association between sildenafil use and decreased incidence of AD does not establish causality, which will require a randomized controlled trial."

Thank you for yet another interesting update!
