    Wow! Forget crop yields! Your graph shows something even more "amazing". Believe it or not..... the POPULATON has also increased.

    Dude! You have proven that increases in atmospheric temperature produces ... more babies!!!

    It may be the answer we were seeking to solve infertility!

    You should start preparing your acceptance speech for the Nobel Committee. I think that's the minimum your discovery deserves.

    Your post is hilarious!

    Which some obviously don't. They're usually the sort who are only interested in playing "Gotcha"

    ~ Yes indeed - the U.S. armed forces has taken many out of poverty . Unlike socialist countries where the military keeps you in poverty.
    ~ Like the people who grasp onto every sentence Trump speaks looking for any excuse to slander and criticize.

    Al Gore said the planet has a fever.

    Why would he lie?

    Yeah who cares about reality? The GOP of Rupert Murdoch is a catastrophe and a disgrace.

    Yeah.... This is not about facts. It's all about profits. And you have proven it.

    I'll go with Murdoch any day over the nihilistic Malthusian elites who took over Environmentalism a few decades ago and funded the pseudo-science of "Global Warming", the "Climate Change" (after the temps went on a cooling trend). The handful of elites control all the Earth's resources, or they will soon. And you'll vote for it and think you like it. In the future, we peons will be happy with the scraps they allow us to have, the ones who live through depopulation.

    Many being an understatement. My grandfather was a sharecropper and his son (my uncle) became a successful professional trained by the Army in Egypt while chasing Rommel. In war, the single most vital job aside from winning is what to do about respecting the dead. In civilian life there is always a need for morticians.

    Also on the civilian side, many California, Texas and other states with military families have numerous bases and benefits for qualified civilian employees. It's not just hiring within the military families, either. (Can't recall current status for that.)

    Everything you know is garbage GOP propaganda. Greedy idiot lying thieving elitists from the GOP are much worse than Democratic elites who are actually trying to do the right thing. how many phony scandals and ridiculous conspiracies do you believe that never go anywhere in the real world before you wake up and smell the coffee?

    Barack and Michelle Obama have book advances totaling $64 million. Expect no less from the THIRD autobiography of someone so bad he made Carter look bright. She's got hers ready earlier than him, for hiring a ghost-writer. At least, a faster one. Obama wants his 800-page book split into the first 2-volume presidential autobiography.

    800 pages with normal trade paperback 6x9" editions generally run $15 to $25 depending on number of images requiring special handling. An all-text novel of pure fiction like any Obama accomplishments would be at $25 or higher for name value. That's $50 for both volumes.

    To get a vendor to even carry it usually requires the publisher to knock off about 40% "to the trade," just to stock a few sample copies in the few remaining physical bookstores. That $25 "profit" is now $15 to the publisher, who needs all copies to sell because the printer wanted $10 for each copy of the initial and most costly press run, making press plates, test prints, back-and-forth approvals or re-do's at the printer/binder.

    Most small publishers are lucky to afford a 1,000-copy run to pay off that first price-level break. Obama anything gets top-floor attention. Sixty-four million dollars of advance against royalties, the authors' (plural) share of (joint) personal proceeds.

    VIPs easily get 15% to 20% of gross, before that 40% cut. But sixty-four million cannot possibly sell enough books to pay this off. We are seeing an act of open-air money laundering.

    ~ As Jessica Mitford said in her book ' The American Way of Death ' : "When I die I want the works! A good mortician can make you look 10 years younger ." :aww: :tombstone:

    Included in "everything I know", is the propaganda of Democrats, Republicans, Marxists, Communists, Maoists, Fascists, Capitalists, and I may be missing one or two since today we have the "neo-" prefix in front of some hybrids. To acquire critical thinking and "pick one" over the others intelligently requires studying them all and weighing historical outcomes of each against the other.

    If you choose a side and block out all alternative information and knowledge then you are just allowing that one propaganda machine to tell you what you think.

    You need to be open minded, but not so open minded that your brain falls out.

    Mitford's hit job is not liked among an honest industry she unfairly depicted as universally greedy up-sellers. I knew many funeral home directors. It is the single most serious business there is for survivors. It must be done to their highest wishes.

    That said, in a patented stuffy huff....

    Biden was about the only 50-year veteran Congressman/VP who couldn't manage a 6-figure income without almost being broke at the end.

    After leaving office in 2017, he and Jill made almost $16 million in 2 years. Book Sales. They must have the literary brains of Hemingway. :rolleyes:

    Rags to riches...

    Thanks. Toss in Russian payoffs to Hunter, they can buy a very decent extradition-free island off Belize.

    Except that's not true, as the satellite temperature data show:

    https://www.drroyspencer.com/latest-global-temperatures/

    2002-3 was warmer than 2004-5; 2006-7 was warmer than 2008-9; 2010-11 was warmer than 2012-13; and 2016-17 was warmer than 2018-19.

    Look out your window. There is self-evidently no climate crisis, no climate emergency. People who claim there is are just clearly lying. That should tell you something. It's becoming more obvious with every passing say that your CO2-controls-global-temperature theory is just wrong.

    Here's a prediction: the dramatic decline in air travel in the spring of 2020 will cause a spike in temperature as there are no longer so many contrails creating clouds, and this effect will be larger than the reduction in CO2 emissions caused by the global shutdown of transportation.

    It's Wednesday, Neddie. Terribly sorry to break it to you but after yesterday we'll all just have to learn how to type lying flat in a casket. I hope that doesn't cut into vacation plans in the Falklands.
