All important documents should definitely have a hard copy. To put all our information solely into an electronic cloud would be unwise. As you mention, electronic disruption could make all this information unobtainableand if the servers get corrupted it will likely be gone. Not to mention the online data breaches that occur daily.

Bobbie, you do know that the ground sinking, a geological issue, is different from the claim that the sea is rising, don't you?

Filling a room, or any space with CO2 does not make ir a "pollutant". It would only harm animals if there were a lack of oxygen, but with a lot of CO2 around, plants will be making Oxygen like crazy. The Earth once had 100 times as much CO2 in the atmosphere as today, and the planet was just fine.

Good observation, Mark. Huxley's "Brave New World" and Orwell's "1984" were competing visions of a totalitarian future. The "Great Reset" of today's globalists combine elements of both.

You might enjoy Roland Huntford's book "The New Totalitarians" written about Sweden after decades of Social Democrat rule which he argued was sliding into a Brave New World type of totalitarian state. Huntford was longtime Stockholm correspondent for the London Times so he had lots of material to work from. Fortunately, Sweden's slide in that direction was stopped by the center-right finally beating the Social Democrats, and now the rise of the populist nationalist anti-immigration Sweden Democrats.

The far left dictates school policy right now, and that needs to be broken up. We have five worthless seat warmers up for election on the local school board this year who badly need to be replaced. They are pathetic puppets on a string for our leftist superintendant Cheeseman. Totally useless. We need a curriculum that provides educatoin, not indoctrination.

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Anyone thinking the far right should dictate school policy is going to get exactly what they deserve. Remember, eventually, they eat their own. Completely unprepared to govern.

BF - normal amounts of CO2 is not a pollutant. Fill the room with it and it becomes one.
If you study biology you will notice living systems on earth are in, if you will, a balance. Disturb that balance and things change. Our CO2 and methane emissions have increased so much that the balance is tipping. That is a fact.
What does it mean? This is still open for interpretation. However, two things for sure.
When things change, they don't stay the same.
If things change too fast, big changes occur.
Hell of a gamble considering the data.

CT - It occurred to me, are you handicapped? Run out of juice boxes? What?

They call this generation, Gen-Z. As far as I know there are no letters after Z. Coincidentally? I think not.

Bob my dear friend, your last comment was inherently racist. He who hath ears to hear, let him hear,

Judge not, that ye be not judged.

For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

By your own comments Bob it would seem you are a conservationist, which is commendable and I too believe in conservation. I’m sure that all average Americans believe that we should be good stewards of the planet. If we say we believe in science, then we must believe in science. Science is not theory and science is not a matter of consensus. Rather what can be proven true no matter the circumstances of experience. Are we still in agreement? I should hope.

Carbon Dioxide is not a pollutant, but a necessity for life. It is not by accident that the human exhales Co2, and all photosynthesis requires Co2 in order to produce oxygen.

There are many pieces to the climate agenda and it is far reaching. There are many scientific reports, theories, and studies that say one thing or another about climate change and I’m no climatologist so I don’t seek to debate them. Historically, when mankind has thought about weather, it is thought about as an act of God. Personally, it wouldn’t surprise me if global warming is actually happening because I know as the Earth was cleansed with water in the flood, so again shall it be cleansed in the end with fire.

They seek to geoengineer this planet and they tell you it is to save it but it is not. In fact anyone can observe the chemical trails that rain on us almost daily. The white lines in the sky are a known geoengineering method called “Stratospheric Aerosol Injection”. A little research shows the purpose of this is to spread a reflective layer of particles across the atmosphere to reflect sunlight back into space rather than Earth absorbing it and thus heating up. Which is a practice I wasn’t aware the US was involved in, as I would like to have known who voted for it.

I know you’re thinking what I’m thinking; “blocking sunlight but pushing green energy solar panels?” There’s a lot more than meets the eye I guess is the point I’m trying to establish in more than a few words. I could go on, like I said it goes deep. Don’t limit yourself to the information you already possess.
