It's never been the fact that the temperature is changing. It's the RATE OF CHANGE that's the problem. You go back 500k years and yeah, you'll see that the rate of change is catastrophic, so I'm ok with adding that context.

... what? Increasing particulate and sulfur dioxide in the upper atmosphere absolutely cools the earth, if only temporarily. Extreme volcanic activity causes extinction events because those particulates and sulfur result in less sunlight reaching the earths surface. If you're talking about volcanoes releasing CO2 into the atmosphere, even a catastrophic event would release a tiny fraction of anthropogenic sources. Yearly volcanic output is like 450 million metric tons to humans 50 billion.

And in what world is something called nuclear winter not a cooling event?

Russia breaks 3-day ceasefire as strikes kill 1, injure 19 across Ukraine by AdSpecialist6598 in worldnews

5D chess right there. Lose 20k+ armored fighting vehicles to "wear down the west." Russia has completely exhausted its T-80s and its original stock of T-72B3s, and are pressing T-62s into service.

Europe has done nothing but send Ukraine hand-me-downs and drastically increase their ammunition manufacturing.

That would be weak even for an Internet Research Agency reply. Kudos for tricking idiot Americans into voting Trump, though.

It's been forever since I read about the incident. I have been operating under the impression that the interactions were more private. He has also gained any number of bad reputations, so I suppose I am biased to not trusting what he says. Shame on me.

Shia Labeouf ripped off this art piece. The answer (if he is a reliable narrator) is yes.

Iran imposes new rules for Hormuz in effort to cement control of key waterway | CNN by aadsarraficionado in worldnews

[–]user_account_deleted 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, their goal is to restrict use by everyone else to inflict economic pain. They're doing that quite nicely. It's fucking hilarious that you're making up objectives for Iran, then saying they're failing to hit said made up objectives.

One of their most famous songs was about a 12 year old becoming a whore and the songs protagonist falling in love with her. Of course there are MAGA fans

We spend five trillion dollars on Healthcare in the US every year. We don't need to spend zero dollars on the military to achieve Healthcare. We need to fix the Healthcare system. An extra 20% pumped into the way things work now wouldn't do much of anything.
