Amazing, Little Bobbie, you seem to finally grasp what really causes warming and cooling of Earth, the amount of solar radiation we get from the sun. Fewer sunspots mean less radiation, so we get cooling, but more of them means more radiation so we get warming. Some astronomers are predicting a significant reduction in sunspots and therefore solar radiation in the not too distant future.

Unfortunately, the re-emergence of this discredited CO2 climate theory was soon followed by an easily distortable research technique called computer modelling, which is little more than digial voodoo. A computer model can be set up to produce any particular result that its designers want. It can be set up subjectively with the particular desired result in mind or it can be set up objectively, but even with the later it can be severely flawed. The computer models used by the climate alarmists do not correctly show climate patterns in the past where we know the real data, so why should anyone trust them as to the future? Michael Mann's hockey stick chart is a prime example, as it does not track with historical data going backward and is very far off of historical data. Nonetheless, the UN made it a key exhibit in one of their reports. Then, it was revealed by one of his students how Mann had deliberately cherry picked data to create his phony computer model, and the UN dropped that chart like a hot potato in subsequent reports. Mann was one of those exposed in the Climategate emails for manipulating data in other regards, too.

Another good example of the misuse of computer modelling to get a desired result is the use of computer modelling instead of real loss data in setting property insurance rates. Eastern North Carolina is overcharged on property insurance as a result of manipulated computer models that do not track with actual records of insurance losses. The insurance companies have a desired result, getting higher premiums out of policyholders.

On the other hand, hurricane tracking is an area where there are competing computer models, and everyone is trying to get it right since if their model predicts a path right, they look good and if it predicts it wrong, they look bad. Even so, on the computer modelling charts, every model always shows a different path, sometimes very differnt paths.

Nancy Pelosi is on video encouraging the George Floyd ANTIFA / BLM insurrection before it started. What Pelosi suggested was "riots in the streets" as opposed to President Trump calling for "peaceful and patriotic protests at the Capitol" Kamala Harris is on record raising bail money to get ANTIFA / BLM insurrectionists out of jail as well as encouraging it. Are they "above the law"?

John Valley, it is hard to tell what branch of political extremism you represent, since the far left is now pushing the same anti-Jew message as the nazis used to push and their neo-nazi wannabees still do. Heck, even Soros, who years ago was a Jew himself, even contributes to anti-Jew organizations.

This article tracks with the poll results we are seeing, even with polls from liberal sources. The number of young people and minorities who are leaving the Democrat plantation is astounding. It also tracks with what is happening in elections in Europe as voters tire of the left's tolerance of illegal immigration and pandering to the climate crazies. The earthquake that is already happening in Europe will soon be coming to our shores.

Here is an interesting article, 15 things the MSM media does not want you to know about this corrupt Jean Carroll case: www.breitbart.com

Not only can this gold digging long-in-the-tooth bimbo not even remember the year it supposedly happened, but her allegation just happens to come straight from an episode of "Law and Order" down to the very location it supposedly happened. Her first claim that it happened occured after Trump was elected and she was in the midst of a book tour to promote a book she had written, when it helped her get audiences to sell her book.

Pakistan just announced that it has deported half a million illegal aliens in just three months. If Pakistan can do it, we sure as heck CAN. Under Trump we WILL.

This far left harpy is clueless. Those victims of political prosecutions by a politically corrupt Justice Department in a legal system that is now two-tiered based on politics. That is the Democrats doing and it is un-American. Biden and Hillary's behavior with classified documents was egregious, for example, and neither is being prosecuted, while they are throwing the book at Trump for much, much less. Hunter Biden more egregiously broke the same laws that Stone and Manafort were prosecuted for but is not even being charged. And if Hunter ever does have to face the music for anything, you can be sure that daddy will pardon him. Our Justice system is badly broken and it is the Democrats who broke it.

Most hostility in society comes from the "woke" who are deliberately trying to divide society, and you Bolshevik Bob are a prime example of it.

There goes Bigot Bob again with his anti-white racism. He must really hate those honkies. The 1619 Project is NOT history, and even its author admits that. Bigot Bob wants Marxist fairy tales taught as "history". His heroes in the old Soviet Union had a saying that "history is on our side" as they made up history out of whole cloth. Bigot Bob is not much different.

Stan, the only "staff" that this political stunt was intended to protect was Cheeseman and maybe a few of his top underlings tied to his woke stuff, like Dr. Parker who told the school board meeting that the Bridges math curriculum was not Common Core, only to have to reverse himself at the next meeting and admit that it was after various people researched it. The question is - Was Parker just incompetent and did not know the correct answer or was he lying to the board? Either way, why does he still have a job? We have a very weak school board that tolerates too much of this nonsense.

One wonders how the Beaufort County school board ended up with an attorney who lives in Durham and practices with a Raleigh law firm? Even more so, why did a nominally Republican-majority board go with an out of town attorney who at least recently, and maybe currently, has been vice chairman of the Durham County Democrat Party, one of the most far left county Democrat organizations in the state. Looks like they have got some 'splainin' to do, especially for those incumbents running in Republican primaries.

That is not the only contract that the current leadership of our schools has taken away from a Beaufort County citizen and given it to someone outside the county, often at greater cost to the taxpayers/

Surprise, surprise, surprise! More totalitarian behavior by Biden and the Democrats undermining American democracy.

A favorite slogan of the communists has been "history is on our side", and the modern far left in America has somewhat modified that to "the right side of history". Now Bolshevik Bob is invoking the very same concept as his "comrades".

Your racism against white people is so severe, Bigot Bob, that you failed to notice that it was the White HOUSE (i.e. where your hero Biden lives) that was attacked, NOT white PEOPLE. As usual, you try to excuse the attacks of Hamas terrorists and their supporters, as you have on these boards before.

Bolshevik Bob posts in Orwellian Newspeak, where they make up new meanings for words. "True" as used by Bobbie means "consistent with the far left narrative". It does not mean what most of us would mean when we use the word "true". As most of us use that term all of the content is true. I suggest for example reading the court ruling in Missouri v. Biden. And has Bobbie just forgotten all the publicity on the Ministry of Truth that Biden tried to set up and had to back off of?
