Maggie's Farm

I read the Rowling story and it was interesting with a few unexpected twists. But what stuck out for me is "Her experience of escaping a physically and psychologically abusive marriage." Sorry, I am so tired of famous people baring their intimate lives , and as we often find out later, lies about their intimate lives. Shut up about your EX. No one cares. Maybe she is 100% accurate, so what, no ones cares. Maybe if we talked to here EX we would hear about her foibles and quirks and take pity on him, but no one cares.

We had to listen to all the stories about Harvey Weinstein and I suspect that they were all true. Essentially he traded sex for jobs and success in the movie industry. I trade that many young actresses jumped at eagerly and knowingly and then some 20 years later got revenge. So who is the bigger asshole? Someone who asks for sex in trade for making your career or someone who eagerly accepts that deal gets a great career and then 20 years later stabs him in the crotch?

There is a difference between Global warming and AGW.

Of course there is global warming the science predicted it for over 170 years. When the mini Ice age ended around 1850 the climate warmed up. That is what it was supposed to do and if it didn't then the mini ice age didn't end.

AGW supposes that humans can change the climate and that CO2 is the change instrument. Illogical on both counts. The sun and our orbit around the sun are the biggest factors in climate change we humans are barely a pimple on the ass of a climate grifter. In our entire existence we have had less effect on the climate than one good volcanic eruption has had. In fact our climate effect is too close to zero to measure.

As for CO2, it doesn't change the climate it is a lagging indicator of the earths climate and not something we can change. BUT, there is good news. After the end of the mini ice age mother nature did increase the CO2 in the atmosphere slightly and THAT allowed our plant life to grow faster and fuller. We need that to feed the 8 billion people. But the bad news is we will more than likely see another mini ice age and it will probably kill half the life, all life, on the planet. Until then I'm going to the beach/swimming pool.
