with my last two hours of freedom LOL, I mean, I could chill until 1pm instead LOL, everything is arbitrary

if I really get EVERYTHING done I could try the video game again tonight ...

[A sample Bug post about climate change from 2007]About 20 years ago, I came out to my grandfather. From 3912 miles away. Via a letter. Weeks later his snail-mail response arrived: He advised me to give up this "dirty habit", as though I were smoking tobacco ( Read more... )

I was a climate change skeptic until sometime in 2007. Back then I said things like, "The climate has always been changing, we just didn't have the instrumentation to measure climate change until now. So calm down."

Which, yeah, the climate has always been changing ... but then I would also say I was skeptical that humans were changing the ( Read more... )

President Biden made a pledge to cut US CO2 emissions by 50% at the end of this decade, as compared to 2005.  It's a strange pledge in many ways.  First, it is currently 2021, why does this pledge go back 16 years to 2005 for its reference point?  The pledge isn't to cut 50% from today's levels, but from the year when US CO2 emissions peaked.  As ( Read more... )

Because all the environmental damage crashing down around our heads is the fault of other species!?!

Yes, build some sort of wall to keep out the "nonnative" species.  Have fun with that.  Seems to me, before 30,000 years ago there were no humans in Florida, so we're nonnative also.  I'd approve banning humans from Florida, that would be a good ( Read more... )
