Idiots Amongst Us

[Stormin]

I would argue that modern individual farmers or farm families have finally become business people with viable great success stories in the entire lifespan of humanity. Only in the last 50 years, maybe only 30 has agriculture dug itself out of peasantry in first world nations. Never have farms produced so much food with so few people providing the lowest dollar per calorie ratio ever. The problem for the globalist elites is that farmers have too much power and freedom to make choices and that's not good for control of the masses.
At the same time processes for extracting fossil fuel energy continue to improve, (in some cases doubling) and fossil fuel reserves continue to skyrocket, with deep well and off shore drilling making the possibility for super abundance and an endless supply, and the possibility of human flourishing attaining an all time high.
Yet the globalist a persistent in setting humanity on a path for destruction...why?

Chuck how many windows do you have mounted on your roof angled towards the sky? There is a massive difference between a vertical window in a home (often protected under an eve) versus solar angled towards the sun. Last I checked hail falls from the sky.

All the vehicles in the yard.

Also any window I have open in the house.

I realized that every climate and soil and plant is different. But around here, I can't grow anything on the shady side of a tree. If there's a row of trees which I can't remove because it belongs to my Southern neighbors for example, I don't even bother seating the first 20 ft, because it won't grow anything. The next 50 ft will gradually grow something, need to get beyond that to finally grow normal. Hey never drives, swaths never dry. Any wheel tracks leave compaction so terrible nothing can grow because it is perpetually muddy.
In late fall when the sun is low at the best of times, the shade extends so far that if it rains or snows, it never goes away. And the spring, the snow Banks last an extra month.

Needless to say, I won't be adding any artificial shade to any of my fields. And if any of my Southern neighbors ever want to add tall solar panels along the property line, I won't be pleased. In fact, I can foresee municipalities and cities eventually having bylaws about how one person's shade can affect another property owners ability do efficiently use their own property.
If I were to install solar panels along my Southern boundary, then my neighbors plant trees which will grow 100 ft tall, or erect a large shop or Barn, it will cause conflict.

You took the words right out of my mouth. I was almost going to begrudgingly acknowledge the very good points made by chuck.
But how can any mature adult possibly like a post containing that many narcissistic lols.

So are you going to ask your friends to stop laughing when they tell a funny story or make a point that disagrees with you?

Some people do laugh and chuckle a lot in regular conversation. Should they stop and go deadpan serious all the time?

The LOL stands for I think your argument is weak, lame and funny and I can"t believe you would think anybody would take it seriously.

But dont let that stop you, continue with your nit picking and ignore my main points.

Excellent post Stormin , well said 👍👍

The path to destruction is ignoring the consequences of continued greenhouse gas emissions and the severe consequences of out of control human caused climate change.

There is no government in the world that is saying we don't need to do anything about it.

Pierre Poilivre also says human caused climate change is real.

The summer of 2023 is a glimpse into the future of the planet that is warming.

And as we all know, governments are always right.
The various Communist governments throughout history were completely correct when they starv ed and murdered millions of their own citizens.
Governments on both sides of the conflict were right every time they went to war.
Governments of all stripes were right when they went into unsustainable debt to reward their cronies and by votes.
Governments were right when they live like kings in palaces while their citizens starve.
Governments were right when they nearly collapsed the world economy because of a cold.
Governments were right when they instituted eugenics and genocides and burning witches.
By your logic, Putin was right to invade ukraine. Hitler was right to institute the Holocaust. Pol pot was right to support the genocide. The holodomor was the right thing to do.Etc etc the list could go on forever.

What about the winter of 2022/23 ?
Record cold all through the western US , record snow in California, long cold winter in most Canada . Short memories these days
