    Yet you were criticising Europe for not fracking and getting dependent on Russian gas...
  2. olofscience
    Yeah because according to Trump, global warming is fake, the real threat is "nuclear warming". I'm sure Brent agrees...with whatever that is.

    Quick goalpost change there - nobody predicted "quick starts to hurricane season" because of climate change. The predictions were more frequent and stronger/more destructive hurricanes due to high sea surface temperatures. You cherry-picking a number from Michael Mann is yet another goalpost change (and strawman argument since none of us made that prediction here).

    Brent just racking up those L's huh.

    One thing I can be sure of, is that @brenthutch won't be anywhere near these things, nor will he have any of his airborne-vet courage to tell people actually affected, to their face, that this is a below-average season. Oh and given how republicans are so "independent" and pro "small government" why are they asking for so much government help in the aftermath in NC?

    Reading has never been his strong point.

    Even better How about we check again in 4 years - the end of the next term? Will you still be alive by then?
  8. olofscience
    This has "2023 won't even be in the top five (warmest years)" kind of prediction vibe to me. How much are you willing to back this "prediction" up with?
  9. olofscience
    and then If the government already spent the money, then there's nothing more to "gobble up". Because if there is, then all the money HASN'T been spent yet. So get it straight - has all the money already been spent (past tense), or are you just lying again?
  10. olofscience
    That's not how proof works. The burden of proof is on YOU.
  11. olofscience
    You mean YOU, not "we", while keeping your eyes firmly closed. Unless you personally, directly feel an impact, you'll keep denying that anything is happening. Lucky you live in PA eh? Meanwhile even Switzerland and Italy have to redraw their border because of melting glaciers. But you're not smart enough to realise that you're already feeling some of the impact indirectly - some of that inflation that you're so desperate to blame on Biden is due to the impact of climate change, but you'll never, ever admit it. Do you like coffee? Just tell those coffee trees to move right? As well as hundreds of other things in your everyday life that you don't have the ability to think deeply about. But then again, you can barely add or subtract, so it's definitely not out of character.

    I doubt that you'll manage to quote enough of other people's posts to prove what you said though.

    Not only is he lying, he's also glitching - reposting the exact same comment 10 hours later. Either senior moment or he's actually a bot...
  14. olofscience
    Again you're ignoring that the rest of the world exists and we got COVID vaccines here even earlier than the USA did. And we experienced similar - and slightly higher - inflation than the USA did.
  15. olofscience
    Yeah look at what happened to inflation in the UK and EU when the Ds took over...they've also taken over your brain, right Brent? Could you point to the parts in the graph where the Ds touched you?
  16. olofscience
    I said "Like how.." but I overestimated your capacity for reading comprehension.
  17. olofscience
    Like how they caused the price of chocolate from Africa to shoot up as well? Or the price of olive oil from Italy to almost double? Or the price of coffee from Vietnam? Are those democrats in the room right now with you?
  18. olofscience
    lol, go wait then
  19. olofscience
    Yeah, things like coffee, chocolate, and olive oil prices have risen a LOT because of changing "weather" events all over the world lately. So what do you call weather, averaged over a wide area or time? (then it changes - what's it called?) I bet you'll never get the answer.
  20. olofscience
    I mentioned THREE things, and here you are just focusing on one. Again. If you were forced to play Russian Roulette with 1 bullet, I doubt that the shooter receiving a box with 2 more rounds and loading them will not affect your perception of the risk, even if the odds just become "like a coin flip" of "little value". But you do have a good point - at a certain threshold, you should accept risk rather than spend more money to drive that risk to zero. So how do you calculate risk? Easy: risk = (probability of event) x (cost of consequences if event happens) I doubt you can do that calculation though, but insurance companies do it all the time. Ever checked insurance premiums for flood coverage in Florida lately?
  21. olofscience
    As usual you're defining your own stupid goalpost. Scientists explain the reasoning behind their predictions, show their calculations, AND also quantify the uncertainty of their predictions. Then you laugh at them for being uncertain and make your own vague prediction ("2023 won't even hit the top 5 warmest years") without any of the reasoning and calculations, and you fall flat on your face. Well, at least you're predictable...

    India can arguably be called a democracy, and they're 1.4 billion.

    Did you see Trump in 2018 in Helsinki? He was practically Putin's quivering simp Same with Xi Jinping's visit You're just parroting Trump's claims. No, Putin was hoping for Trump to win in 2020, but as soon as he lost because of his COVID stupidity, Putin started building up his forces at the Ukrainian border because his asset Trump couldn't blackmail/abandon them any more. If Putin captured Kyiv in 3 days, as he thought he could, it wouldn't have mattered whether or not Biden supported Ukraine. From Wikipedia: The Afghanistan withdrawal started in May 2021. The Taliban seized Kabul in August 2021. Putin couldn't have known in March or April how disastrous the Afghan withdrawal, negotiated by Trump, would be. Despite your military experience I'm not surprised, you were probably just like that dog photo you keep posting - attacking mindlessly. It's OK though - even in the military, everybody has a different job to do, and the thinking job clearly wasn't yours.
  24. olofscience
    You're forgetting Putin's invasion of Ukraine, spiking up energy prices, wheat prices and adding more misery to the supply chain disruption COVID caused. Again, it worsened inflation outside the US too. Not the fault of Democrats no matter how hard you wish for it. But you continue justifying voting for Trump when he's clearly Putin's lapdog and would abandon Ukraine without a second thought.

    You think currencies should be backed by precious metals or combustible liquids?
