As Mark Twain said, "Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody ever does anything about it."

1. Well, it's gone to 11…

I can't make it, and if I could, ironically, I'd feel guilty about burning the carbon to get there…

2. GliderGuider?

I haven't seen him around for a while.

[GliderGuider]

3. Oh, I'm still around.

I'm much calmer these days, because of the spiritual transformation that I'm going through, so I'm posting less than I used to. I still think civilization is hosed, but I'm much happier now that I see that as an opportunity rather than a challenge.

4. Now, THAT's adaptation

Tsunami? Hey, surf's up!

:fistbump:

5. Hey, GG!

Good to see you're still here.

We've got to do the Lanark Green Festival together this year.

[GliderGuider]

6. OK, you're on!

July 10-12 at the Middleville fair grounds.
We'll make some plans.

10. Congrats GG.

I'm in dire need of some of that.

:thumbsup:

11. "How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the (Population) Bomb"...

Seriously, I can't recommend this spiritual shit highly enough. And to think a year ago I would spit at the mere mention of the word.

[phantom power]

13. Is ironic detachment anything like spritual shit?

Because I'm totally supplied with that.

[tom_paine]

14. Funny you should say that. I, too, am feeling better about things.

"It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine!"

[tama]

15. Mmm...

it'(the spritual shit) is closer not to detachment per se, but the irony of 'total seriousness' if you get my drift. Not either or but both and - when we really laugh, from the fullness of our heart, we have tears in our eyes... :cry: :7 :loveya:

7. Oh it's not like nobody does ANYTHING.

I continuously hear from people here who show great selective attention to attacking the world's largest, by far, form of climate change gas free energy on the grounds that they have very, very, very, very, very poor educations.

I wouldn't call that not doing anything. I would call that making the situation far worse than it has to be.

Ignorance - especially assertive ignorance - is not neutral. It is not passive.

On the contrary, ignorance kills.

[GliderGuider]

8. Ignorance isn't the only thing that kills

So does ennui.

[OKIsItJustMe]

9. Well put

"Ennui kills."

12. Hydro is the world's largest form of climate change gas free energy

In 2006, hydro generated about 10% more electricity than nuclear:
Hydro: 2,997.06 Billion Kilowatthours
Nuclear: 2,660.26 Billion Kilowatthours

I know you're not "ignorant" of this fact, because I've pointed it out to you many times before.
You are intentionally misleading people.
