The largest threat to our Democratic Republic today is the muzzling of free speech.
First the difference between “weather” and “climate” is often missed. Weather can be thought of as yearly all the way down to minutes and seconds! Climate combines seasons at the least and when the age and history of the Earth is factored in, it really expands to arguably Billions of years!
Although we put up a good front as humans, some things we just cannot truly conceive. We count on our fingers, and toes, and buy and sell in the hundreds of thousands commonly, but when presented with a Trillion we pretend to understand.
A Trillion dollars can make a thousand people Billionaires! Do you think you understand the enormity of a Trillion? Oh, yeah? Even after ‘doin’ the math’ I doubt I really do. How far do you think a Trillion feet would go?
A Trillion feet would take you to the Moon! Yes. But after your journey to the Sun, and back to Earth, and then eleven more times to the Moon and back, leaving enough feet to orbit the globe 27 times!
It took me hours to make sure my calculations were correct, and I rounded down to be fair. The point isn’t to prove my prowess in mathematics. Although in some respects I am ‘good with numbers’ I am far from a math-MENSA!
The point is with our glut of data at our fingertips, we are shown way too much casual data and could not possibly fully comprehend all of it. Our brain does an admirable job of sorting what matters (to us) and blurring away the parts that are way too complex, worrisome, or cell consuming.
This same distortion happens to Earth-climate history. Yes, we may pass a test by knowing a definition, but then we far too easily equate weather and climate. The term ‘climate-change’ compared to weather is not even a single pixel to a HDTV screen!
The fact that politicians and world-renowned scientist mention climate-change and ten or twenty years in the same sentence proves they are agenda-driven or plain ignorant!
As we exit “The Little Ice Age” the Earth’s weather is going to warm for hundreds of years. And that is just a “pixel on a Jumbo-Tron at a football stadium”, to Earth's climate history.
I was the Production Director. I edited (spliced with a razor blade and tape) reel to reel audio tape and made magic, (commercials and contest promos). To maintain my energy I brought a gallon of orange juice into the studio every day and it was gone five hours later when my show was over. Funny, I don't recall ever getting the Flu when I was there.. 🙄😎
The reason there's only the parts where I talk and not the whole song is because the boss, (the Program Director) required us to record 'skimmer tapes' that only run when our mic is open, so he could yell at us for anything he thought was wrong. LOL
