potholer54 - If ocean levels are rising, why can't we see it? [youtube.com]

Robecology comments on Dec 5, 2021:

Those who insure ocean-front property are the most aware of this phenomenon. You can bet that every insurer is well aware of the precise worst and best case scenarios for the entire world. This video was basically a take-down of an alarmist's book about worst case scenarios - and there was an over-analysis by him, IMO. The facts are basic. 1. We are growing (births, minus deaths) at 150 more per minute. 9,000 more per hour. 216,000 more per day. 1,512,000 per week. 79 million per year. That's about a 1% growth rate. That rate is on track to drop to 0.5% by 2050...which is likely to be too late to stop runaway global warming. check my data here; https://www.worldometers.info 2. T. R. Malthus warned us....over 200 years ago (in 1798) that "as the quantity of life increases in any given area, the quality of life for each will decrease". Too many have ignored or attempted to de-fuse his volatile observations. He's been called the father of Demography. Demography is the science that got my a NSF grant to study population growth in 1971. Insurance folk....the ones who demand high rates for shoreline construction and higher foundations for new construction - know of Demography well. Forget fossil fuel control...or tree planting, or changing diets. It comes down to humanity's growth vs limited resources. It's a race we're in...and we're losing it. https://oll.libertyfund.org/title/malthus-an-essay-on-the-principle-of-population-1798-1st-ed https://coast.noaa.gov/slr/

It's the fasting that'll help you (see the images, below). We're all creatures of habit...and with food....it's habits started before we could walk and talk.

Keep a scale handy and weigh yourself regularly. Avoid cursing and swearing when you gain. Just think about what you ate the day before. Every animal on the planet deals with hunger every day. We're the only ones who habitually avoid it.

Concept cars". Rolls Royce, G.E.'s Hummer, and the Ford Lincoln finally gave us a "concept" car. The advantages of EV's are this; 1. 95% fewer moving parts...much less to break down/wear out/need servicing 2.

Many thought that the Hallowe'en's night broadcast was real...few realized it was a "Halllowe'en spoof by H.G. Wells. And that was among the early strong radio broadcasts....that actually went out in to space....imagine if some alien race came upon and translated that broad cast and took it seriously? But let's see; they'd have to be within 83 light years to have even received it! (produced and broadcast October 30th, 1938). https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/welles-scares-nation

Nuff said!

We saw it coming. The judge was obviously biased. #FauxNews was clearly making Kyle a "favorite son"...a "cause celebré". The 2nd amendment fanatics who defend having rapid kill paranoia machines at home applaud him....and of course Trump and the weird Republicans want to make K.R. a Republican apprentice. https://www.adl.org/blog/right-wing-extremists-cheer-rittenhouse-verdict-in-predictable-fashion

Sounds like BS to me but fascinating to think about

What "U.S. Ecologist" said this? I call B.S.! Please seek to find out more about this alleged comment. But about the question...**.Are there Aliens? Can we travel to stars? Should we?** I've done a lot of research on this. Short answer...No, no, and. no. It ain't gonna happen for several reasons #1 - We can go 18.6 miles per second now. That's 1/10,000th the speed of light. That will get us to our nearest star system -which is 4.3 light years ( L.Y.) away, in 43,000 years. In other words....all star systems are much too far from us. Even if we somehow achieve moving at light speed...or through "worm holes"...Who would bother doing this? #2. Even talking to ET, via radio (going speed of light, or 186K per second) would take 8.6 years round trip message. #3.The odds of being life on any planets within 100 L.Y. of us are nil. (most scientists search within the 100 LY range because it was about 100 years. ago that we first sent strong radio and TV waves in to space - hence only folk within 100 LY of us would even know we exist. There's about 500+ systems within that range...of which only a few have rocky planets that are in the "goldilocks" zone (not too hot, not too cool...so likely to have water and life). So there has been several "Earth-like" planets that are out there...but all that we've found are over 100 LY away. Out of those few, there's a much reduced likelihood that they evolved at the same pace we did...so their civilization's either come and gone...or not there yet. In September 2020, astronomers identified 24 superhabitable planet (planets better than Earth) contenders, from among more than 4000 confirmed exoplanets at present, based on astrophysical parameters, as well as the natural history of known life forms on the Earth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_analog http://www.solstation.com/stars3/100-gs.htm
