Yep, still a handful of them out there. Usually they are gray-haired Stasi/KGB officers or former grunt workers in one industry towns like Eisenhuettenstadt who couldn't figure out what to do once the gubmint wasn't employing them and subsidizing their housing, and their kids all bolted for bigger cities. Sometimes they are college kids who just read The Manifesto for the first time.

The half capitalized thing goes back years. Gamers have been using it forever and it has been around message boards as long as I have.

A lack of peer review in itself isn't necessarily ****ing but when your research basically says, "all the previous climate models were wrong!", and uses what appears to be un-sourced data... I'm skeptical.

Strangely enough, a Japanese study, unassociated with the Finnish one, came out within weeks of the Finns' and came to many of the same conclusions.

Yusuke Ueno, Masayuki Hyodo, Tianshui Yang, Shigehiro Katoh. Intensified East Asian winter monsoon during the last geomagnetic reversal transition. Scientific Reports, 2019; 9 (1) DOI:

“The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has discussed the impact of cloud cover on climate in their evaluations, but this phenomenon has never been considered in climate predictions due to the insufficient physical understanding of it. ...

"This study provides an opportunity to rethink the impact of clouds on climate. When galactic cosmic rays increase, so do low clouds, and when cosmic rays decrease clouds do as well, so climate warming may be caused by an opposite-umbrella effect,” said Masayuki Hyodo Professor at the University’s Research Center for Inland Seas.

“The umbrella effect caused by galactic cosmic rays is important when thinking about current global warming as well as the warm period of the medieval era,” Hyodo added.

The Kobe U study was noted in Nature magazine.


Both are claiming the IPCC is way off base with regard to impacts and causes of low cloud cover.

The cloud cover thing comes up all the time from climate deniers and there's various studies showing that it likely doesn't have a significant negative feedback that counteracts human induced warming. And the better more accurate climate models are showing low cloud cover decreasing and thus more warming.

Why is New Orleans in a flood plain, the Mississippi delta?

Not my point and a proper levee system (see the Netherlands) would fix it.

The point is we keep building the same houses over and over again after they've been flooded without changing anything. That's pure insanity.

Explain the levee system they should install but haven't, as you would explain it to a 6th grader. Slightly below average 6th grader.

Um, you said:
Why do we keep building in flood plains?
Why is the levee system not complete in New Orleans?


Aren't you asking to build (a levee) in a flood plain so people can keep building, and rebuilding, in a flood plain?

As you said, That's pure insanity.

No.

I'm making a distinction between a port city and single family homes.

Stop being ****ing dense.

The home at issue here was destroyed and rebuilt with no changes made to the infrastructure. Now it's destroyed again. That's the point. It's no different than ****ing Houston and what they did.

The mistake is rebuilding in that area.

Many areas along the (flood prone) Red River in Fargo and Grand Forks have become "no rebuild" and bought out (even with levee construction). The areas have become green space, e.g. The GF Greenway.

Yes, that was my point all along. Stop building in flood zones.
