BUT THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH CO2! Nothing whatsoever!

Why are you shouting?

90%+ of smog/air pollution/C02 emissions come from the burning of fossil fuels.

Or are you now arguing against the fundamental principles of physics and chemistry too?

Sorry Cloud, but you've just proved that you don't have a grip on the most basic fundamental aspects of this issue. Fact is, over 96% of CO2 emitted on this planet is from natural sources.

Sounds like a misunderstanding due to my word choice. I was speaking in reference to smog and air pollution, in that 90%+ of those specific C02 emissions and air pollutants (like in the pics of those polluted cities) come from fossil fuel burning. I wasn’t trying to say where overall C02 emissions come from.

I feel bad for you son.

How do non-Texans even live, with their tiny bland watermelons and objectively inferior barbecue?

Texas watermelons are the best. I remember being a kid and being forced to stand outside selling those huge fuckers outside my uncle's tire shop during the summer. I'd go through dozens and dozens in a day.

Oh, and just like with girls, the yellow ones taste the best.

I am a watermelon lover (in the non-American-Pie way).

But I gotta be careful about some as they are often sprayed heavily by pesticides. Organic or self-grown is where it is.

I once poisoned myself after eating one heavily sprayed watermelon.

That's a pretty graph. Do you have a STEM degree? Just curious.

HEAT WAVE RELIEF DAY

Post: #106

In highschool we used to spike watermelons with Bacardi 151 or EverClear (grain alcohol) Its great for summer parties. Here's how







You can eat it like a normal water melon or scoop the melon out and blend with ice to make a drunken watermelon smoothie. Girls love that shit.

My buddies and I named it the "Pink Panty Pull Down"...should be self explanatory

I have good memories of heat waves in the past with my ex-girlfriends resting naked and sweaty on the bed after sex:

All I'll say is my black friends and I can be eating from the same damn watermelon, they'll be hootin and hollerin about how delicious and sweet it is while I'm over here salting the bitch til it's encrusted.

Yeah, late to the watermelon party

Temps in the low 60s overnight in the DC suburbs. Heatwave appears to be over. We’ve seen much worse around here.

Im not going to delve into all of the scienctific articles or websites out there as I believe this global climate change is BS and is just a convenient way to get more $$ out of people. You cannot tax the sun and other major mechanisms in place, of which you cannot predict either.

What I'd like to know is during the cooling and heated periods how has this affected human activity? Will we be more violent or less so? Are we going to see empires fall and start an age of fighting?

Post: #114

There hasn't been enough of a weather variation in the past century to affect things either way. A couple of centuries back though we went through a period of cold that crashed harvest and led to hardship in Europe and elsewhere.

Since then, the weather has been warming steadily, which is a good thing. Generally speaking, warmer weather is better.

Right now it's absolutely perfect weather here in New England. Hope it lasts for at least another month.

Nice. Well your climate theories are rather fascinating. I for one would be very interested to see you present your findings at a conference on climate science. In before muh liberal conspiracy. If you have a good argument, they will listen to you.

Unfortunately Churros, academia and the scientific establishment are so deeply politicized that they're not open to evidence that goes against the alarmist dogmas, solids academics like Judith Curry get pushed out.

Apparently the heat wave is world-wide.

Some parts of Japan are recording their highest temperatures in 73 years.

I'm a light sleeper so if I had the windows open I'd keep getting woken up by the plebs walking by late at night when they walked past my apartment block after drinking. I bought 2 fans to cool down the room and also to drown the noise out.

Now, I live in the countryside in a house which not only has cooler nights, but means I can have windows open both sides of the house and have the air run through, and it also be silent and dark at night. Fully recommend.

This went great until the breeze stopped.

Grand solar minimum (which we're entering) means more extreme weather. Southern Hemisphere began fall and winter very quickly and harshly. Some parts of northern hem are hotter than normal, but much of Canada is still well below (snows in June!). Enjoy the hear wherever you are.

Plant-derived trace ionized minerals are beneficial - I add to coffee or water. Tropical Oasis is a brand I use. Especially if you dehydrate yourself with alcohol or coffee.

I'm more of an apple cider guy these days instead of beers (gluten wrecks your gut).

Coconut water is great for rehydration.

Bananas to replenish potassium.

Magnesium powder ('Mg Calm') to prevent cramping and relieve headaches.

Use earthing / grounding to ensure you're getting restorative sleep and after workouts. It's also good to prevent or minimize jet lag when you travel.
