Some extremely reliable facts that don’t get mentioned because “Muh NaRrAtiVE”…

Did you know?

• CO2, even as a greenhouse gas, has a declining marginal return on its effect? In other words, we have to double the CO2 concentration to have the same potential greenhouse effect.

— In other words, It’s like the bitcoin supply, only the first few halvings (or doublings for CO2) are meaningful in the supply change (or with CO2, the greenhouse effect change). After that it’s negligible.

— in other, other words, IF it has actually made the planet measurably warmer, we’ve already seen the overwhelming majority of any warming we will see?

• That CO2 is a *lagging* indicator of temperature historically, not a *leading* one?

• That the most reliable connection with CO2 levels and historical samples is a massive flourishing of life?

• At the end of the 1800s, CO2 concentration was in the 200 PPM range, and now it’s closer to 400 PPM. Wow! Thats scary huh? Except - 200 PPM is actually a multi million year LOW in CO2 levels and that the very ability for our planet to support plant life… and thus life at all at 150 or below is at risk. While on the other hand, the periods where life was literally exploding on earth (the literal Cambrian explosion and others) CO2 levels were in the 5,000-8,000 PPM range? That the AVERAGE is even something around 5k if I remember correctly? Something comically infeasible from merely burning fossil fuels?

— in other words, we were actually in such a horrible historical low in concentration that we were closer to a planet where life at all could have been unsustainable due to a LACK of CO2?

• That deaths and risks related to climate and weather have done nothing but plummet (like seriously drop like a rock, looks like the dollar value chart) for an entire century and are expected to do nothing but continue to plummet?

• That like 90% or more of weather/climate related deaths are because it’s too fucking cold?

• That for any honest view of the data: IF it should be expected that CO2 will alone actually cause a sustained warmer planet, that this just means more life, a healthier environment, higher crop yields, fewer weather related deaths, and that contrary to it causing a disaster, it’s more likely to have *averted* one?

You’re welcome 😚

I’m not personally concerned about global warming as the agenda portrays it for their own purposes, but CO2 is absorbed from the atmosphere by the oceans of the world. The result is acidification and that is documented and increasing rapidly. Explanation?

It is possible to control taxation such that you see the taxes you pay as an exchange for goods and services. Having read this conversation it seems to me that you think you’re paying a fair tax load for the services you’re receiving and the Beave doesn’t. To some degree your choice of state makes a difference. Pay to live in CA if you love the weather, live in WY if you hate paying taxes and the weather isn’t as important. Federal taxes aren’t 30%, and some military presence is important. It’s not all or none, having lived outside the US, I appreciate, and don’t mind paying for some of what US governance offers. Start a business and learn how to fill out the long form 1040 and required schedules yourself. You will pay less tax and feel better about the taxes you do pay likely. The business doesn’t have to be profitable, in fact it’s better if it isn’t, choose something you do and enjoy anyway, fishing guide, photography, it doesn’t matter. Take the reigns, you aren’t a victim. 😁 👍🏻 @The_Beave

There is definitely some strong evidence suggesting ties between the way gut parasites change the function of our immune system and autoimmune disorders. Autoimmune responses are responsible for a vast array of debilitating conditions ranging from allergic reactions to IBS to Crohn’s disease, even the cytokine storms that are often the cause of death in viral infections. Cultures who have parasites as part of their environment typically are aware of plant remedies that control the parasite loads as well, as uncontrolled parasite load can result in health consequences including mortality. Like so many other things, balance and management are key concepts. Several people affected with debilitating and life threatening allergies have documented their recovery through intentional infection with hookworm parasites. An interesting rabbit warren for sure.

We’ve had carbon neutral anhydrous ammonia for centuries. Only when starved for fuel did the German army start developing it. Every fuel aside from fission is just hydrogen working. Why not let compounds assist with the storage? Nothing better than synthetic hydrocarbons. Existing infrastructure. Carbon neutral if you care about that.

While getting ready to fry a turkey this year, I noted something interesting. I purchased some lard just in case the home rendered lard turned out to be insufficient to cover the bird. The rendered lard was in the pot at 300 degrees F, a clear liquid. I added a scoop of the purchased lard and it persisted as though made of plastic. After having added countless scoops of refrigerated rendered lard I can assure you, the melting resistance was not expected. Ingredients, hydrogenated lard, as well as lard. Hydrogenated fats are difficult for your body to process, and act as inflammatory agents in the blood. This combined with damaged LDL cholesterol from glucose oxidation and clustered macrophages are a recipe for atherosclerosis. No wonder heart problems are so prevalent in the US. Dietary fat is not a problem if the fat isn’t hydrogenated.

Sure lactase is the enzyme used to break lactose down to glucose. There is a competitive advantage to retaining lactase production in the digestive tract for some species, but the issue is complex; pregnant lactating mothers are unsustainably taxed and average lower reproductive rates than non lactating mothers. Evolution has opted for the cessation of lactase production after infancy every species. Most people don’t effectively process lactose, but the ecoli bacteria in the large intestine due process it and multiply, causing the undesirable after effects. nostr:npub18myhrpdny5d58elt4skhyqfrm2shawekgzu8jetug8jypkhlhzts4hqm0g

Ginger bread, sugar and egg white glue, pretzels, marshmallows, fruit loops cereal, the characters you can make are practically limitless! It’s fun to eat them as Christmas approaches!

Excellent point. We plan to do our tradition, make edible ornaments as a family and make the tree ornate!

We went today. Some remorse as this tree is the most beautiful specimen I have ever seen.

Yep. Stainless is a hack, I know decent steel when I see it. 🫡

That’s a really nice looking blade too? What is your choice in knives?
