Well, I read on the Internet that I will be underwater in ten years unless I repent my beliefs, I am treating that as the gospel truth.

Yeah, that’s what I meant, in ten years I won’t be able to give away 63 Topps missing borders, 74 Topps yellow ink bombs, or 76 Topps blue dots error cards .

Is that a revision, Cliff, or are you just repeating the one you read over 20 yrs ago?

Well, it is true that if we get hit with an EMP weapon (electro magnetic pulse) anything with a computer or a computer chip will get fried. Cars, electrical grids, water supplies, cash registers, cell phones, gas pumps etc.

It is estimated that if an EMP is detonated by ballistic missile 200 miles above the USA or yet by an even better delivery system, such as a balloon - (sound familiar?) that 90% of our population would be dead within a year.

The good news is that old cars and aircraft would still be able to run until they run out of gas and maybe coal powered trains which would be tough to find.

On that note have a nice day!

As far as I know the only way to generate an EMP of that magnitude is to explode a nuclear weapon in high atmosphere above your target. If you're going to do something like that, you'd just drop the bomb on your target.

Doesn't seem like a practical thing to worry about.

I don't really want to get into a debate on this, but the first part of that meme, ie. "NASA now admits..." does not correlate with what is currently on the NASA.gov website.

Statistics can also be twisted to fit a narrative, which is maybe what the person who made that meme did. I really don't know, because they didn't state their source, but the first statement in that meme appears to be BS, so how can you trust the rest of it?

Here is the direct link, which may be difficult to explain away:

https://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/arctic-sea-ice/

The meme in question

Pulls up a 2 month old post then continues on and on with a bunch of other global warming blah blah blah and says "he doesn't really want to get into a debate about it". Hmm.

I'll tell you what, CW, as I don't want to ruin your day nor drag you into a debate you don't want, I'll just leave it by saying you go right ahead and continue to trust those scientists of your choosing and I'll continue to choose and trust those that have been silenced, shunned and shamed instead like I did with those medical experts regarding covid and the vaccines.

However, if you ever figure out what the ideal temp is supposed to be or when the 8 yrs is suppose to start before we're out of time to safe the planet, I'll be all ears.

In 75 years you and I will have to eat crow and admit we were wrong and they were right, the only problem is I will be 131 years old and I imagine you won’t be too far behind. Maybe we can make archival mea culpa videos that will pop up in 75 years.

I guess it will never cease to amaze me, Cliff, what some people will believe just because it comes from their govt's mouth and their funded media propaganda sites.

First it was "we only have 10 yrs to save the planet as all the ice, snow and cold weather will be a thing of the past. NY, Florida and other cities/states/countries will be underwater in 10 years (said over 30 yrs ago) but since none of that happened, and actually the opposite did, they now say "due to global warming" we are seeing an increase in ice, snow and cold and the sheep lap that right up just like they did with the original narrative. But trust the science!!!!
