Climate change most convenient theory extrapolated to the extreme.

In all the discussions about climate change, one thing is often overlooked – the upper atmosphere of Earth is actually cooling while the lower atmosphere grows warmer, and this strange paradox is a clear fingerprint of greenhouse gases at work.
Carbon dioxide in the lower atmosphere helps trap heat from the sun’s solar energy reflected off the Earth’s surface and so, like a greenhouse, the lower atmosphere grows warmer. But at high altitudes it is a different story, because the upper atmosphere is so thin that the carbon dioxide releases its energy into space and so the upper atmosphere cools. And that cooling is also making the upper atmosphere contract.

No one talk about that, or the numerous birds killed by wind turbines.

Like manyyyyyy things, climate change has been politicized and used by some very not nice people in positions of power

Not at all, it is scientific to question discrepanciesin the data. Politically, nations have been trying toa void reliance on the Middle East for centuries now. First it was alarmist claims the earth will run out of oil shortly, which naturally kept increasing until this narrative was abandoned.

Currently the narrative seems to work well and helps the younger generation of activists feel nice and fuzzy about taking a stand on a current and alarmist issue.

Shall we talk about everyone going to climate change conferences in Limos and planes?

The impacts crypto farming has on the environment?

The space race from Musk and Bezos? The carbon emissions there?

Don't even get me started on how often a " low emission solution" actually generates more carbon emissions than traditional fossil fuels

These aren't loony conspiracies my misinformed but well meaning friend, just unfortunate truths

To be fair, so far 5 people laughed at the post, and 10 people responded positively to Shadydan Shadydan 's subsequent post saying that it's ok to laugh at ourselves sometimes etc, with neither having negative reactions, so it seems he did actually read the room fine.

Personally I get sick of people policing other people's humour. Most humour is based on bad things happening to people - right from Charie Chaplin through to Tom & Jerry, Fawlty Towers, You've Been Framed, Blackadder, the vast majority of comedy concerns negative things happening to people, and everyone has a different 'line' on what is right or wrong (expect those like me lucky enough not to have any 'line' at all, instead simply separating 'jokes' and 'real' - but I appreciate most people aren't capable of doing that). Invariably, someone who (for example) will say that the earlier 'joke' on here is inappropriate will then laugh at one or more of those examples I've listed above. My point isn't that they are the same - it's that most people have a line, all such lines are arbitrary, therefore anyone criticising anyone's else's 'line' is just so unnecessarily holier-than-thou and self-centred...

I have a VERY wavy line...
But yes, I get your point! I shouldn't be policing other people's idea of humour... whether everyone or no one finds it funny, I guess it's down to personal taste and how far you're prepared to push the 'humour button'... After all, Marmite have pretty much made an entire advertising campaign based on the fact some people hate their product.. I guess that's the whole point!

In other news, I'd always assumed there was some deeper, darker Anglo/German origin to the names Tom & Jerry... (they called us "Tommys" and we referred to them as "Jerrys") ...but apparently not so:

5 things you never knew about Tom and Jerry cartoons

Image: The Everett CollectionWe all grew up with Tom and Jerry. No matter what your age might be. The cartoon cat and mouse made their debut 80 years ago when MGM released the short Puss Gets the Boot in theaters on February 10, 1940. The animal adversaries were the creation of young animators...
