Amazing how these wingers are so determinedly suicidal when it comes to Covid and Climate Change but why do they insist on taking the rest of us with them?

Fucking world is on fire and these assholes are talking about WEATHER.

If it all burns down they will stop being reminded how shittily they are doing compared to everyone with a lick of sense at everything despite their having been born on third base.

Obtuseness is their suicide bomb. Their self hatred is an accelerant in the mix.

The findings show that consensus has increased across the board. The findings also reaffirm that consensus increases with the level of expertise -  the more you know about climate science, the more likely you are to understand that humans are responsible for climate change. Near 100 percent of scientists in our most expert group who identify as climatologists and actively publish in the peer-reviewed literature are in complete agreement that climate change is real and caused by humans, says Peter Doran.

Weather Abnormalities

But some events were so abnormal that they sent a wave of consternation through the scientific community. Antarctic sea ice is at a historically low level for this time of year, according to federal data. Sea surface temperatures across the North Atlantic have been off the charts Europes Copernicus Climate Change Service reported, noting that the figures set records for this time of year by a very large marginWater temperatures off the coast of South Florida rose to unfathomable levels in recent days, leading scientists to fear for the fate of the only living coral barrier reef in the continental United States.

I live a European lifestyle here in California, I walked through the park for a nice evening stroll to the Mexican Market, where I bought fresh baked bread, California pepper jack cheese from Joseph Farms, some organic yellow mustard, some nice cotto salami, and a nice bottle of wine. All that I need now is a beautiful Mediterranean woman to eat with.

I bought a nice bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon from Tisdale Vineyards in Modesto, California, here is a link to their page...

This is the kind of stuff that we can do world trade with is our California wine, and California cheese, and California cotto salami, and Organic mustard, etc, we can send all of that to China as we participate in world trade.

Salute,

Tony V.

I thought you were saying Cali is an unholy hell going straight to the dogs and the worms and the thundering armies of ants not two posts ago.

Tony, which one is it please?

It was the worst of times

Times are hard right now, and we have homeless people all over the streets, but at the same time we make great local wine, and great local cheese, and great local cotto salami, etc, and we can help our poor people if we are able to sell products from California to the Chinese, etc.

California is the best, and the worst, all in the same place.

We need to work hard to make California into a better place, and we need to help our homeless, and we need to expand trade with China, etc. We can send wine, cheese, Sunkist orange juice, etc, etc, etc, to China and be altruistic with the money and educate our poor and help our homeless and build libraries, and we can build hospitals, etc. And we can train doctors, and scientists, and teachers, etc.

Modesto, Merced, Napa, Bakersfield, etc, all help California on the issue of world trade.

And I am lucky to live in a safe neighborhood here in Anaheim, it is a blessing. Anaheim is a nice city, but we need to work hard to help our homeless, and we need lots of staff to work at the Mental Health Association offices, and at the Wellness Centers, etc. We have a good city, but we can do more to help our abused women, and our poor and homeless, etc.

I love California, but we can do better. And guys like Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise need to help us to save Hollywood. And Emilio Estevez can help to save Hollywood, we have some good people.

Salute,

Tony V.

The Yellow Trucking Company went out of business, it is all very sad, it was a huge UNION company.

https://www.cnn.com/2023/07/31/business/yellow-corp-closing/index.html

30,000 Union workers lost their jobs.

We need for the Mexicans to step in and help. We need to invest in the ports in Mexico, we need for Mexican truck drivers to be able to join the Teamsters Union, and we need for the Mexicans to jump in and help to fill the void created by the loss of Yellow.

Salute,

The Truck Drivers in Mexico need to have the same high pay and good treatment that the Canadians receive.

The Mexican Truck Drivers need to be able to join the Teamsters just like the Canadian Truck Drivers.

https://teamsters.ca/

And we need to invest in the ports in Mexico. Mexican truck drivers can bring goods up from Mexico to Kentucky, etc.

Mr. Hoover was an engineer. He knew that water trickles down... But he didnt know that money trickled up. Give it to the people at the bottom and the people at the top will have it before night, anyhow. But it will at least have passed through the poor fellows hands.
