Climate Narrative Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes Duane Patterson
- It wasn't cooling, and it wasn't really warming up all that much, so the term 'climate change' evolved as the preferred term of art...
The melting of sea ice in the Arctic has slowed dramatically in the past 20 years, scientists have reported, with no statistically significant decline in its extent since 2005.
The finding is surprising, the researchers say, given that carbon emissions from fossil fuel burning have continued to rise and trap ever more heat over that time.
They said natural variations in ocean currents that limit ice melting had probably balanced out the continuing rise in global temperatures. However, they said this was only a temporary reprieve and melting was highly likely to start again at about double the long-term rate at some point in the next five to 10 years...

- They had sold their family home, the sanctuary where their daughter Caitlin had grown from a little girl with a basketball to a national phenom, and they had never told her the real reason.
Things Democrats say:
The Democratic Party loves to cloak itself in noble rhetoric, claiming to champion the working man, free speech, traditions, democracy, diversity, and rule-following. - Michael Smith
- - We are the party of the working man.
- - We support free speech.
- - We respect traditions and norms.
- - We want to save democracy.
- - We are for diversity.
- - We follow the rules.
- Let me tell you why Democrats are none of these.
- But scratch the surface, and their actions tell a different story - one of hypocrisy, power grabs, and betrayal of the principles they profess.
Let’s unpack why their self-proclaimed virtues are little more than a mirage...

Read this BEFORE you send you children to any college!-----Perpetual Disruption
A friend who works in the finance world would routinely caution his people not to get too used to high-flying salaries, or to commit themselves to lifestyles that required them going forward, because one disruption - one "better mousetrap" invented by a competitor - could knock them all back down to earth. - Peter Venetoklis
- I saw his caution play out among other friends and acquaintances, as their big bucks jobs disappeared and they had to seek other professions as a result.
- Heck, it happened to my gaggle in the 1990s, when Reagan's defense buildup ceased and a flood of young aerospace engineers moved into a range of non-engineering professions.
Such is the way of progress.
In economics, it is called "creative destruction," and we find examples of it ranging back to the beginnings of the Industrial Revolution...
