Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

'If you aren’t talking about Chinese emissions, everything you are saying about global warming is a joke.'

An article that finally cuts to the chase.

Radical environmentalism and other Leftist religions are about blaming Western (White) nations for the world's problems.

Per capital emissions in China are still about half that of the United States. That doesn't mean China's continued reliance on coal isn't a significant issue that needs to be addressed. Because of their large population, gains in China will be global gains. They have made significant strides in increasing leaf cover, but more needs to be done.

Per capita CO₂ emissions, 2022

Emissions per capita is irrelevant. The measure should be emissions related to GDP. But even that doesn't matter if CO2 is driving the climate as is claimed since the climate doesn't care how many people or what is produced that create the emissions.

mudbug: Emissions per capita is irrelevant.

If you believe that all people have inherent value, that they all should have access to the benefits of industrialization, then it does matter.

mudbug: But even that doesn't matter if CO2 is driving the climate as is claimed since the climate doesn't care how many people or what is produced that create the emissions.

The future of the Earth's climate certainly doesn't care about arbitrary national lines drawn on a map. However, it does matter about GDP per capita, because—given all people have inherent value—GDP per capita is a proxy for economic well-being. The problem is finding out how to continue to produce economic growth so that the world's people can enjoy the fruits of industrialization, while also addressing anthropogenic global warming, which itself requires economic growth to provide the technological innovations and industrial wherewithal to mitigate and respond to the changing conditions.

AGW is hardly a fact but an unproven hypothesis.

The future of the Earths climate certainly doesn't depend on CO2 either.

Add India to the list of those not overly worried about 'emissions'. For Z's benefit, also note that there is NO correlation between temperature and CO2. The data is quickly available for those who fear and loath a gas that is prized for its enabling of plant growth necessary for food stocks.

There is the mother of all immigrant caravans headed our way. This one is different. It has the usual sprinkling of Central and South Americans, some women, some kids, but mostly military aged men. A massive invasion on our Southern border. There is a strong indication that this is indeed a coordinated effort by our enemies to put their insurgents into our country where they can cause havoc. Don't be distracted by other world problems, this one will hit home.

So why the ongoing secrecy about the Lahaina fires? There were some early reports that 1000+ children were released from school and sent home just before the fires broke out and that those children were missing. Is that still true? Are there 1000+ child deaths? They must know by now but it's all secret. Why the secrecy? Did someone do something wrong and they are covering it all up? They've had enough time to sift through the ashes and identify bodies so why don't we know the answer to this?

The media dropped Lachina and moved on to UFO's. The media prefers fantasy over reality. After Russia, Russia, Russia, reality seems to bite them in the keister.

Off topic but for the past 2 weeks or so I have been getting an Amazon Linux AMI test page instead of Maggie's Farm content when going to the home page using the Slimjet chrome browser. I thought the website was down until I found it working fine on Edge browser. The test page says this...
"If you are the website administrator:
You may now add content to the directory /var/www/html/. Note that until you do so, people visiting your website will see this page, and not your content. To prevent this page from ever being used, follow the instructions in the file /etc/httpd/conf.d/welcome.conf."

I don't know what to do from my end to view Maggie content on Slimjet browser, but the wording makes it appear that it is a website issue.

Thanks

Yes. They have wanted to do this for some time. They are just getting warmed up.

A cursory glance at social media should tell you that a good percentage of Western women definitely shouldn't be mothers.
