The Isolated Blurt Thread XXXV: It's Only Castles Burning

[Lancecastor]

As you are aware, 60s are the new 40s.

A four year old?

Can't you drown it or something?

A Call For Support

...The religious mission against plant fertilizer in the hope of holding back the tide by half a millimeter in 2100 is noxious, damaging, dangerous in so many ways. It deprives the poor of cheap energy, good jobs, and warm houses. It hurts the environment because it makes the EPA, the US, so much less effective at solving real environmental problems. The pogrom against carbon (we are carbon life forms) is anti-science, eating away at the core tenets of the scientific method, and teaching a whole generation nonsense. The CO2 fixation is over-riding every other environmental issue because the EPA makes it so. The toxic effect the EPA has on the broader community, the economy, on science and on education makes this more important than any single environmental issue today...

...I have spent over 50 years as a forecaster and, over the past decade, have had the pleasure of working with Willie Soon, who I view as one of the leading climate scientists in the world. Along with Kesten Green, I am a Director of the primary website dealing with forecasting methods, author of Long-Range Forecasting, and of a handbook on forecasting methods, “Principles of Forecasting.”Our studies have produced what we claim to be the only evidence-based forecasts of long-term global mean temperatures: there is no evidence that long-term warming is occurring.I proposed a ten-year bet with Al Gore on this issue in order to increase interest in testing predictive validity. (Ten years is not sufficient time to assess long-term trends and I expected to have only a 2/3 chance of winning, given natural variability). Mr. Gore refused to take the bet, so Kesten Green has been posting what would have happened had he done so on theclimatebet.com. Year nine just ended.We have been unable to find scientific forecasts showing that that warming would be harmful. I testified before Senator Boxer’s committee on this matter with respect to polar bears. My testimony was based on this paper.We have been unable to find any scientific forecast that there are cost-effective ways to affect global temperatures, up or down...

Tired of signing those monthly alimony cheques, eh?

One of our last two WWII vets at the Legion died yesterday. Sad day. He gave me my first haircut, and everyone thereafter until I was about 17.

The last WWII vet is in hospice.

"Yeah, as you know I’m not on SnapFace and all that, I don’t really get those, I’m just really worried about getting our team ready to go, I’m not really too worried about what they put on InstantChat, or whatever it is."

That's funny.

 

[phantom4533]

Not to worry. We'll be getting some WWIII vets soon enough.

At 53, I'm one of the youngest members at my Post. The Post-911 vets aren't very interested in joining Veteran groups. It's a shame, but life goes on. Those youngsters are missing out on dollar beers.

I always wondered about that when my Grandpa took me to the VFW. No Vietnam vets, only Korea and WWII. Mind you, this was in the early 80's, but still, only a bunch of old dudes.

Speak for yourself; Lance's Grrls are earners.

I saw something so sad the other day. Someone was selling a picture frame that said "Grandkids" on it. The the caption said, "Free, never used."

Wine would make people a lot more interesting.

So you have been talking to Ish.

 

[Bookishleigh]

So you have been talking to Ish.

I don't know if there is enough wine to make him interesting.

 

[Lancecastor]

I don't know if there is enough wine to make him interesting.

Copy that.

Ooops.

 

[phantom4533]

I guess that makes me the real most interesting man in the world.

That could be the wine talking.

Or the beard.

 

[phantom4533]

My beard does not talk. It's main responsibility is to prevent food from reaching my chest hair.

Now that's a good job.

Putin says Russian Hookers are "the best in the world", but not as good as Trump's beauty pageant whores.

“This is an adult, and a man who for years organised beauty contests and spoke with the most beautiful women in the world. 

I can hardly believe that he ran off to meet with our girls of low social morals.

Although of course ours are the best in the world,” said Putin.

KLASSY!

I tried to sleep all day, no luck, lunch then a nap I think.
