This Vox piece summarises Solar Radiation Management in 10 minutes - the pro’s and con’s from experts in May 2023. Do we risk over-doing it and hurting global agriculture or even freezing the earth as in “Snowpiercer”? Not at all. Dr David Keith models it and says we could probably cancel HALF...

Hi all, At the moment I'm putting out a call out for any good papers you know of that summarise the "I" for Instability. INSTABILITY sums up climate impacts on economic prosperity and lifestyles. Some have modelled significant economic cuts to our lifestyles. Other studies confirm increased...

Hi all, I was trying to cover the various extreme weather phenomenon and sea level rise etc. But then I thought of actual effects on people and ecosystems - and grouping the different climate phenomenon that way. I had FIRES - Famines, Instability - threat multiplier (war), Refugees...

Hi all, too busy on other things right now to google all this myself. Anyone know?

Hi all, what goes around comes around. America - please stay true to your reformed founding principles. Those principles as clarified after your Civil War and the abolition of slavery. Don't go down this pathway of prejudice and "othering." You know who I'm talking about - the ultimate...

As you all probably know, both sides in the Colarado case are unhappy. Suing side are outraged that the Judge decided Trump had conspired, but that President's were exempt from that Article. Defending side are outrage that the Judge decided Tump had conspired! But this is a State case. What...

Hi guys, what do you make of the practical and political differences in how we vote? Both about voting on the day, and how compulsory voting changes the nature of the campaigns leading up to the election?

Trump has just put out a PLEA video, BEGGING Congress to investigate the "corrupt FBI" and "corrupt Department of Justice" (basically cops about Federal crimes) for DARING to come after him. 1. Congress makes laws - they don't enforce them. Trump's just revealed he's doesn't even understand...

Hi all, Any practicing lawyers on these forums? As an Aussie I just don't know - but would love to hear discussion on whether Trump could go to jail over the allegedly stolen Classified documents. Anyone know?

Hi all,

When Amil's read the whole New Testament we see that the Day of the Lord - when Jesus returns - is it. There is no more, no in-between ages, no end-times-table. The Lord suddenly and unpredictably returns and EVERYTHING changes in an instant. There are two ages in the New Testament - THIS AGE...

Hi all, it seems debate in America - and my home country of Australia seems to be following - is moving further apart. We have less in common than ever before. I'm struck by the way "The New Corporation" portrays the urgency of dealing with Corporate creep into our lives. Corporations are trying...

They very briefly cover the 4 main views on Revelation - and then have a general chat about what I would call a "Partial-Preterist Idealist" view. That is, it was written to Roman Christians suffering under Roman rule and reminding them of the gospel promises in Jesus that he will return and...

It's getting interesting out there! https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/apr/08/headed-off-the-charts-worlds-ocean-surface-temperature-hits-record-high

As I understand it for now - we would still grow crops for bread and pasta and rice, and fruit and veggies and herbs and spices for flavour and texture. But if you are into farming beef or lambs or chicken or turkey or ducks or any animals - even fish - be worried. Precision Fermentation could...

Hi all, it's that time when we turn our gaze back and ask what interpretations of Revelation predicted something big in 2022 and failed to pass? How strident or 'enthusiastic' were the promoters of that view? Could we all learn a little humility about our predictions given every year various...

The big surprise for me this week is that I'm more excited by today's Aussie electric trucking firm Janus than the shiny Tesla semi we're being promised in a few years! Why? It carries more, better. Tesla Semi carries 40 tonnes about 800 km range, with a 30 minute Megacharger for another 600...

Governments are being misled by big energy corporations. Do not be fooled – natural gas is a fossil fuel which releases CO2 when burned. But worse, the gas (methane) leaks. It’s 30 times worse than CO2 (over 100 years), but has a 70 times greater effect over just 20 years! The gas pipes leak...

Hi all, I want your opinion on a few key questions I'll ask after my quick review. REVIEW - WARNING - SPOILERS! Now we come to the final episode - where all the main heroes of this story sacrifice something. Of course Baba Voss sacrifices himself to destroy the bombs and army. Queen Maghra...

OK, so I understand the over-cautious approach to SRM (Solar Radiation Management to fight climate change) because if we really get it wrong, we're in a planet-killing ice age. I'm personally convinced climate change is so serious we need to consider using it a little bit (Dr David Keith says to...
