There is no second best UK Bitcoin meet up
#BitcoinBeachRetreat

Sea fog over Conwy bay today. Summer has arrived in North Wales ☀️

Looks good, what ABV you going for? I’ve made regular ginger beer before with a ginger bug but never an alcoholic version
Finally a dry day to do some gardening here in sunny North Wales.
1.5 acres mowed and levelling and seeding of old box hedge beds (still more to remove!)
Might need another bay for compost, that much lawn makes a lot of clippings!
Now onto some chainsaw milling if the rain holds off

Believe it or not China is not ignoring it. It’s actually common knowledge it’s doing more with renewable energy than most people realise.

Interestingly they aren't reducing the amount of energy they use per person though. And they are increasing fossil fuel usage even with the renewables when you look at the data.
The UK however is reducing energy per person, still with high reliance on fossil fuel. No wonder our energy bills are sky high here.
We can agree on more energy = good! The problem with the mainstream climate hysterics is their solutions involve coercion and violation of basic rights rather than voluntary cooperation. And over the past decade or more they have made everyone's lives worse and more expensive!
Lots of new cantillionaires in the green washing industry though!
I'd consider myself an environmentalist, anti-pollution etc but when it comes to humanity shooting itself in the foot to attempt to reduce CO2 emissions I'm incredibly dubious.
They may be separate issues but they are similar in the "proof" being modelling - models that haven't shown they can predict the future. See also, Bitcoin price modelling.
It's sad so many have been convinced we are doomed based on very shaky data.
Therein lies the problem - you could very easily send me off to do a simple experiment to prove the earth is round. To convince me humanity is in mortal peril due to human induced climate change requires modelling, dubious data sources and browbeating.
I think if there is human induced climate change, what states around the world are doing to attempt to combat it is worse than useless - exactly like the Covid response.
Much of the Covid hysteria was based on modelled predictions. There is lots of data on Covid but it doesn’t stop most people continuing to believe shutting down the world was worth it and the virtuous thing to do.
If you could show me climate modeling that has accurately predicted temperatures over many years without sly adjustments of said model I might be more convinced. Al Gore promised us an ice free arctic by now and it hasn’t happened!
Ah, so not as easy to disprove as flat earthism then!
How do these models hold up? Have they predicted temperatures correctly in the century of research?
People are understandably sceptical of models used to enforce big changes on their lives after the Great Covid Debacle.
Science isn’t a consensus sport, check the history of science. There are simple experiments anyone can do to prove the earth is a globe, are there any simple experiments anyone can do to verify humanity is in peril due to climate change?
Is there somewhere to get nostr verified and pay with sats? #asknostr #nostrn00b
Nice! Dovetails are really tricky! This is the first box I made

Trying nostr only for a while.
Hi nostr!
