Climate Change Hooey

According to the National Geographic Society earth is estimated to be 4.54 billion years old, plus or minus about 50 million years.

Earth has experienced cold periods (or “ice ages”) and warm periods (“interglacials”) on roughly 100,000-year cycles for at least the last 1 million years. The last of these ice ages ended around 20,000 years ago.

While our ancestors have been around for about six million years, the modern form of humans only evolved about 200,000 years ago. Civilization as we know it is only about 6,000 years old, and industrialization started in the earnest only in the 1800s.

The first commercially successful internal combustion engine was created by Étienne Lenoir around 1860, and the first modern internal combustion engine, known as the Otto engine, was created in 1876 by Nicolaus Otto.

The first modern air conditioner was invented in 1902 by Willis Haviland Carrier, a skilled engineer who began experimenting with the laws of humidity control to solve an application problem at a printing plant in Brooklyn, NY.

So humans have been using fossil fuels since 1860 or about 162 years, although ozone producing gases (for air conditioning) have only been in use since 1902 or 120 years. Actually though, air conditioning did not come into wide spread use until the 1950’s. Let’s say 1955.

So this means humans really did not have much impact on the environment until 1955 or 67 years ago. This is interesting since many climate scare display temperature charts showing increase as early as 1800. How is that even possible? It’s not!

Nonetheless, the only logical way of looking at this situation is by comparing human’s fossil fuel and ozone producing activity to the typical earth climate cycle. Since these cycles generally last 100,000 years that is our data for calculation:

So, 100,000 / 67 gives us .067 percent. In other words we are expected to believe that based on scientific observation of .067% of a typical earth climate cycle that the end is near.

How ludicrous is that? No self respecting so-called ‘scientist’ would ever make any prediction based on a tiny .067% sample. Human activity represents such a tiny fraction of time on earth that even is you took the total time humans existed of 200,000 years against the age of the earth 4,500,000,000 years it only represents a figure of .0044% – that’s not even one tenth of one percent.

The very idea that human activity is somehow causing a warming cycle is preposterous.

In fact Maverick was no where near as good as the original Top Gun.

About the only aspect that I can say was superior was the cinematography and special effects – which is to be expected thirty years later.

Let’s start with the soundtrack: The music was blah – not one memorable song.

Secondly, no one stood out. When you consider the first cast had Anthony Edwards, Val Kilmer, Kelly McGillis, Tom Skerritt, Michael Ironsides, and Meg Ryan – this one had no memorable characters or actors – including Tom Cruise who didn’t seem to have much zing in him this time.

The plot so-so (and pretty far fetched).

But worse of all was the screenplay – it had so many glaring errors – especially in the last ten minutes I was shocked. It was like someone insisted this end a certain way and the writers had to twist in a tangle to make it come out that way. The fact is, if they didn’t make these errors the ending would have been impossible – so maybe a lot of the script got edited and cut to make the ending feel good. I don’t know. I can’t believe not one review I’ve seen mentions these errors.

Specifically- what happened to Maverick’s and Rooster’s back-seaters at the end? Did Rooster fly back to the carrier and drop him off? (ha-ha) And Maverick’s was conspicuously absent most of the time though he can be heard talking to him!! The problem was they didn’t fit the ending – which would not haqve been possible with them around – so they just disappeared.

From military pilots to civilian airliners, many reported sightings of what seems to be the new ‘standard’ ufo – a dark cube within a clear sphere. Sightings of this type of UFO began in 2014 and are continuing to this day.
