Climate crisis to shrink G7 economies twice as much as Covid-19, says research

[shtferbrains]

Thank you.
The first was ignorance. Second for love. Third will be for sex.

Chuck does not treat it like a farmer chat line. He can't read the wind at all.
The headlines will say "Farmer steps in front of train". When really he will have been pushed.

Isn't it cheaper to go with short to medium term rentals rather than making a long term purchase for the third if you have narrowed the criteria?

Furrow, Increase in frequency.

Farmers never have worry about drought, floods, frost, cold and heat. We are all bullet proof and 10 ft tall and climate change will have no impact?

So why would Swiss Re make up a story about the impact of climate change? I guess those swiss insureres must be be a bunch of left wing environmentalists. LOL

Hate to tell you but it’s impossible for every nation to be warming twice as fast as every other nation
Even a four foot tall grade school kid can see that

I am afraid you are the one who is in denial , they are telling people flat out now what’s going on and your still drinking the cool aid
Like the Billionaires that made out like bandits during this covid .. you pointed out btw.... that many of us said would happen . The same goes for climate gate ... follow the money Chuck and pull your head out of the sand . People capable of original thought could see this coming a mile away ......

She’s all about the cash. If u got something to sell whether it works or not and some sucker to buy it you’ve got a business and climate change is a business. Just ask Big Fat Al. He’s made millions off scaring those that don’t think or research the bullshit he started spewing 30 years ago.
Now speaking of business. How much u think seed and chemical companies would make if the majority of there products worked really well. For example bug control products on our canola seed. It is unbelieveable how they can sell these products and claim they work for a certain amount of time then just like that they don’t and we are forced to spend more money on THEIR products to control the bugs again. Meanwhile we are the ones doing the extra work, smelling and possibly ingesting some of this crap, killing beneficial insects when it could all have been avoided in the first place if they actually used products on their seed that worked in the first place. Just another example of it being all about the cash. If u think it ain’t true just ask yourself why the products for certain controls have been eliminated. There’s no money in it if it works to good.

I prefer to purchase so I'm the only one doing maintenance. A clear contract of course.

With your luck of past ownership, I would seriously go with the rental option.

Seems to me your not the best at maintenance, and swapping out every couple of years would save a lot on the repair bill you've had to pay on the past two ownerships.

Just giving some free advice.

I remember kids crying in school after the teacher told us about acid rain, and the next teacher told us the Ruskies are gonna nuke us.

Still here, that’s like 40 years ago.

[furrowtickler]

What is it with mans inherent want for the end of the world??

It’s all about pushing an agenda.... whatever the flavour of the day and who is in control of money supply or who wants to be

[furrowtickler]

Isn’t that something lol

I remember when they used to use the town fire siren for civil defence drills when I was in grade 3 in the early 60's.
We had to go line up out on the yard and practice kissing our ass goodby when we saw the nuclear flash.
We actualy believed they were going to nuke small town Sask and if we followed goverment directives we were all right.

Why would "An Inconvenient truth" come to mind?

The best question to ask is what is the climate cult waiting for?

They have all their supporters in positions of power so any legislation is a cinch now. The paid scientists, media and big tech, academia are behind them. The UN and other international orgs. All the climate deniers are stuck in chat rooms with no power. They could ban oil tomorrow, expropriate large tracts of land for solar and wind, get china cranking out panels, start crossing the nation with high lines and permit all the pit mines needed and give Tesla a trillion and the revolution would begin.

Govts spent trillions and never built anything. This is the most urgent issue in the history of the planet right? Whats the hold up, chuck? Why are you not expanding your array? I mean this is a slam dunk right?

Cause none of that happened in pre oil history.....
C’mon man

furrow , if i was as close as you, well.... i would just have to drive over there , and see what makes it tick , or not tick ?

It appears the Covid/China lab leak cover-up is coming to light, scientists being bought off, facebook taking down posts, fibs and corruption.
How many more months until the next big coverup involving governments, media, money and climate scientists starts to unravel.
People working in the media and certain government positions must have to take their mirrors off their walls at home.

Authored by Dinesh D'Souza, op-ed via The Epoch Times,

It can now be said publicly: The massive public campaign to convince and even compel the world to accept the idea that SARS-CoV2, the virus that causes COVID-19, arose naturally from a meat market in Wuhan was a hoax.

The gory details are contained in a bombshell investigative report in the magazine Vanity Fair. This alone is surprising. Vanity Fair is a culture and trends magazine, not noted for this type of serious inquiry. Yet Katherine Eban’s in-depth article is thoroughly researched, with multiple named sources, and written in the style of a detective story.

The first question to ask is: How did we get a scientific and media consensus that SARS-CoV2 originally came from the Wuhan meat market? The answer is a group letter signed by leading virologists that appeared in the reputable science publication The Lancet. This article dismissed theories that suggested SARS-CoV2 might have come from the Wuhan lab as “conspiracy theories” that had were flatly rejected by the scientific community.

Apparently convinced they had to “listen to the science,” the Lancet statement convinced media around the world to revile public figures, especially politicians such as Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), for even asking for an investigation into where COVID-19 came from. Cotton was almost universally dubbed a kook for even raising the possibility of “debunked” and “discredited” theories.

Digital media promptly imposed its strict regime of restriction, banning, shadowbanning, and deplatforming of users who were deemed to share such “misinformation.”

Acting on the recommendation of its so-called fact checkers, Facebook took down millions, perhaps tens of millions, of posts supposedly conveying the false notion that SARS-CoV2 might have leaked out from a lab.

But what Vanity Fair exposes is the behind-the-scenes mechanism for how that Lancet statement was produced.

According to the article, it was organized by a zoologist named Peter Daszak, himself involved in U.S. government-funded research aimed at the making of deadly viruses in labs. Daszak has worked in close collaboration with Ralph Baric of the University of North Carolina. Daszak’s group, EcoHealth Alliance, has worked directly with China’s Wuhan laboratories to research coronaviruses, and potentially make them more contagious and more lethal.

The ostensible purpose of such “gain-of-function” research is to study viruses, to understand them better, and to develop better cures for pandemics that might arise naturally. But of course, such research is very dangerous, because viruses could through accident or negligence be released and cause the very pandemics they are designed to prevent. Alternatively, such research can be exploited for military purposes, because lethal viruses also make for a powerful weapon of biological warfare.

When Daszak learned that a virus was causing global havoc, he moved quickly to line up a group of virologists to declare, without any persuasive evidence whatever, that COVID-19 had a natural origin.

It might seem puzzling why prominent scientists would agree to sign a letter taking a position on something for which there is no valid scientific evidence.

Why would they do this?

The one-word answer is: money.

Figures like Daszak and institutions like EcoHealth Alliance that receive large amounts of government money typically package those funds into sub-grants that are dispersed among researchers and research institutions around the country. Consequently, there’s a large group of virologists who are, in a sense, in Daszak’s back pocket. They have a financial vested interest in doing what he wants, and moreover, they, like Daszak, have a stake in camouflaging the possibility that their type of work caused a global pandemic with millions of deaths and untold ruin in its wake.

Not only did Daszak organize the Lancet statement, but he did so, according to Vanity Fair, “with the intention of concealing his role and creating the impression of scientific immunity.” In an email addressed to Baric, Daszak said, “No need for you to sign the ‘Statement’ Ralph.”

Daszak explained that neither he nor Baric should sign the declaration “so it has some distance from us and therefore doesn’t work in a counterproductive way.”

Daszak added,

“We’ll then put it out in a way that doesn’t link it back to our collaboration so we maximize an independent voice.”

Baric agreed, responding,

“Otherwise it looks self-serving and we lose impact.”

In the end, Baric didn’t sign. Daszak did. And at least six of the others who signed the statement either worked at, or had received funding from, EcoHealth Alliance, according to Vanity Fair.

What we have here is a group of scientists actively involved in cooking up potentially deadly viruses, and possibly involved in a dangerous collaboration with the Wuhan lab that may have helped cause the death of millions, working in concert to create a false public impression of scientific consensus, when they knew perfectly well that there was no such consensus.

Not only did the media and digital media run with it, but, in addition, the Biden administration used the pretext of scientific consensus—the bogus consensus the Lancet helped create—to shut down an ongoing State Department investigation, begun late in the Trump era and spearheaded by Mike Pompeo, into the true origins of COVID-19.

This shutdown was actively promoted by U.S. government agencies and bureaucrats who had no intention of revealing their own role in sponsoring and subsidizing highly dangerous “gain-of-function” research.

The consequences of the COVID-19 deception, jointly promoted by scientists, journalists, digital moguls, and bureaucrats in the U.S. government, all eager to hide their possible role in a 21st century pandemic, are far-reaching. The big lie that COVID-19 arose naturally from a meat-market has stymied a true inquiry into what happened. Now we might never know. Not knowing means that preventing a future epidemic becomes that much more difficult.
