For those of us who have looked carefully at the climate issue (in my case over a period of about 40 years), it's clear that a number of variables are important when trying to understand changes in weather patterns, climate regimes and geological epochs:
1. The activity of the Sun.
2. The role of the moon and the big planets of the solar system.
3. The effective of magnetic regimes on earth and in the sun.
4. The role of the oceans as high specific heat capacity heat sinks/radiators, including the effects of underwater volcanism.
5. The role of ice in modulating the overall absorption of solar/cosmic ray energy by planet earth.
6. The composition of the atmosphere, including the effects of high level volcanic emissions.
7. The role of forests in regulating the water cycle on land.
8. The effects of human activities in cultivating land, both appropriately and inappropriately.
9. The effects of fires, tsunamis, river flooding on the distribution of mineral fertility.
10. The role of ozone in modulating various aspects of the incoming and outgoing energy waves.
What's interesting to me is how certain papers of 50 years ago somehow don't reach common knowledge. I was engaging at Judith Curry's blog recently where a BTL discussion concerning the role of Total Solar Irradiance variations affected earth's climate. Out came an interesting reference to a 1974 publication by C.O. Hines in Journal of Atmospheric Sciences titled 'A possible Mechanism for the production of sun-weather correlation'. There are those in the modern research junta who agree with this paper, no doubt others are more sceptical. But the point is: a total lack of discussion of such papers seems to have been evident with all the obsession about carbon dioxide.
I actually think it would be a very good idea for 'climate science' to have a 'rebirth', by which I mean that you need the minds of innocent babies to be open to all evidence and not to have closed minds based on financial advantage and political power.
It seems to me that 33 years of IPCC failure has brought 'Establishment climate science' into entire disrepute. It doesn't mean that good climate science isn't being done, it probably means that you need to look to countries that don't pay too much notice of the IPCC. And of course at mavericks who are sufficiently secure in their careers that they can afford to give the ignoble royal salute to climate charlatans who tell everyone what they are allowed to discuss.
Hi. You are totally discounting OVERSHOOT which means 8 billion people on earth.
The way western lifestyle is, we need SIX EARTHS to keep 8 billion people alive even. How nice we know of Total Solar Ir-radiance yet we remain clueless happy about our own
population correlation? Time up, age of exuberance. Shape up or ship out...
'The FDA states that these “updated” mRNA vaccines are approved for individuals 12 years and up and are authorized under emergency use for children between six months and 11 years of age.'
It is simply not possible for the FDA to come up with any evidence that children between 6 months and 11 years of age are in any significant danger of death or serious debilitation by coronaviruses. Therefore, it has to be concluded that the FDA is in breach of its fiduciary duties and its senior officials must be indicted on charges of wilful mass harm of children.
There is zero basis for saying that all children must be vaccinated: this should be zero hour for the American People when demanding that the FDA hierarchy be sacked en masse and put on trial as treasonous traitors, representing a 'clear and present danger to all Americans'.
I strongly advise all American parents NOT to vaccinate their children, to refuse to send their children to any school that requires vaccination and to bring lawsuits against any state officials that try to impose vaccine mandates on children where Covid19 is concerned.
I suspect that everyone here did extensive research on the topic quite some time ago and made informed decisions about the associated risks. This is a very well-read group.
There is a good case for tetanus vaccine when children are older than a year, and about to start getting cuts from sharp things in mud. Each consideration should be personalized.
This looks like a selection-event to me. People who too-easily believe "false-teachers", here in these "last days", are being led astray, and led out of the gene-pool, along with their hapless children.
(I think "last days" are a recurring human theme. I'm not holding my breath to be "raptured".)
Im a board certified FP. 35 years in practice. I have watched our profession turn into a nightmare both for the doctors and the patients. Not using nightmare loosely. It has broken me. I practice in a very rural area. My plan is to quit as soon as possible, but when I do quit the small hospital here may have to quit with me or I will just easily be replaced by a nurse. I don’t know. I have been the only FP in the county now for a few months as all have quit too. I am last man standing. Can’t do it anymore especially with the Covid 2.0 BS returning and EMR. Not going to do it. We have our 5 acres in the middle of nowhere and our own water supply. We do lots of gardening. Zone 5. Totally different than your subtropical region. Read all your posts. Never quit!
Could it be we’re all getting older, older accelerated by some interference and that our Mother Earth is following? My opinion could it be the reverse, earth is a living organism like us and perhaps she’s fed up with us, just an opinion but why should the earth always be stagnant and secure? Time is up we must go and make room for something else, someone else? I’m just looking around here in the Tropics, oceans not rising but islands sinking, also where I am. Temperatures never been so cold, sleeping with pyjama’s and a bonnet.....the umbilical cord with our Mother Earth has been ruptured, we must come to age meaning, make the best of it but realize we will never be prepared for what the future brings, including our extinction, another tectonic shift or just time or a break for recycling.
I think Mom-Earth likes us ok. We're a teenage species, drinkin' and drivin' and carryin' on, but we may well live through it and become responsible adults.
New species of ants have shown up in southern France, until here nothing can eradicate them, and if we find a way we’ll have to develop some vaccine again to protect us against the nefarious effect of some extremely poisonous detergent, which of course will lead to a more resistant ant species. We’re fighting over here against fire ants, we can only put a temporary wall but their progress is non stoppable.
We fight them with drones, useless some times later they come back. I stepped in them bare feet, after they looked like I played some soccer with a new model of football shoes. Just 2 weeks ago got bitten by a spider in my neck……
Aren’t we also a modified reptile or dinosaur race ending after our time is up in contingency? There places I have been on this earth where even teenager dinosaurs are not welcome, no habitat for playing games….Tropical woods, Sahara, Maquis, Siberia, etc…also mosquitoes, you won’t believe how they can ruin your peace and mess up with life, and Sahara is moving knocking on the door in Spain and France, so are tiger mosquitos the best of the pest.
Hi John. Good piece yet again, especially the elite thirst for unlimited power.
Yet just a slight off - "great Muslim leaders of Medieval Spain" Known as the Caliphate Of Cordoba. However it had none world domination plans, nor could they reach their domininon beyond southern France. What was good though, was 300 years (800AD/1080AD) of CONVIVENCIA. Where Three of the religions, Muslim, Christian and Jews did not have to be expelled nor punished for practicing their own traditions. Written by the Spanish, around 1200AD "when the East was not separated from the West, Muslims were not separated from Jews or Christians".
Even you sound like an Anti-Muslim (xenophobia). There was no Sharia Law in Medieval Andalus. Lets see some evidence? Also the word you cited dhimmi refers to a non-Muslim subject of the Ottoman Empire. It has nothing to do with Mozarabs who conquered Iberia. Get lost with this xenophobic trash "reclaims their civilization". Go visit Sevilla or Cordoba to see the Fusion and beauty of Christian, Islam and Pagan culture.
Hello, John. I have a question unrelated to this post. A neighbor is looking for a doctor in the Austin area who is "not a Covid nut". Do you have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Others reading here who have suggestions, please jump in …
Yes, I knew about your situation from my husband who is an avid follower. Coincidentally, I was an exam room assistant at the original PCC in the church basement back in the late 70s, early 80s. If I get around to writing about it, may I contact you? Thanks for the link. Cheers!

Hi. If you do not wish to vaccinate, is totally your choice. Or your children or whoever.
However, there is abundant science, logic and explanation which shows us
the risk, we face, if vaccinated and if NOT VACCINATED. Read that much at least,
before deciding.
I suspect that everyone here did extensive research on the topic quite some time ago and made informed decisions about the associated risks. This is a very well-read group.

Thank You, David. I finished Med school in 1986, similarly to you, I suspect.
What you write resonates deeply with me.
God Bless You and Yours.

The founding fathers piece was great! Garden cranking in a warm El Niño spring. Great for fruit. Scary fire weather in February
We don’t plant our garlic until 1st or 2nd week of November here in Iowa.
I will harvest the Austin (zone 8a) Garlic in June, and the Yoakum (zone 9a) garlic more like April.

We have our ups and downs.

I get bitten a fair amount by fire ants while gardening and doing chores.
They leave bumps that look like pimples.
We fight them with drones, useless some times later they come back. I stepped in them bare feet, after they looked like I played some soccer with a new model of football shoes. Just 2 weeks ago got bitten by a spider in my neck……

I got malaria from being a mosquito-tough-guy in Thailand. That was a mistake.
Desertification is a mistake too, unless you are Rome, and you need the grain harvests, and it's somebody else's problem...
Deserts are not Globo-Cap's "problem".

The Christians were Dimmies under Muslim rule
Sounds a bit absurd or what Dimmy Dim means. If you read about
1. El Cid - Rodriguez Dias Vivar - Christian recapture of Valencia
2. Isabella I of Castile - Provide the way for Columbus to make his journey 1480s.
3. Alfonso X - King of Castilla and Leon. Creates Spain out of 4 christian dominions.
Violent, Heroic, Cross Bearing ReConquista of Spain? No Dimming there...
Sharia Law in Muslim Spain. Christians were subjugated as Dimmies ( Dhimmi)
Naturally they fought to throw the Muslims out and reclaim their civilisation
Well done Spain
Even you sound like an Anti-Muslim (xenophobia). There was no Sharia Law in Medieval Andalus. Lets see some evidence?

I don't currently have a specific suggestion. I am not presently in practice, since being fired for non-vaccination in October 2021.

I had a friend back then who was proud that "Doctor Paula Noelke was his doctor".
You might have known a volunteer, Steve Crow, who later became a PCC MD.
I was "Medical Director of PCC", myself from 1995-1998.
I don't remember Steve Crow, but I did know Paula.
Paula Noelke is fine human being. I knew her later through my training at Brackenridge Hospital.
