      TID: PX/Win v3.0pr5 PX96-0466M2       MSGID: 1:135/392 a8240592       TZUTC: -0500        CP wrote --              >> I get a chuckle when people say humans are causing all the problems then       try to explain ice ages and warm periods over the eons when humans had nothing       to do with it.       >        > Exactly.               I enjoy natural science and history programs.        And when the two are combined, I really enjoy them.         Such as how weather affected (for good or ill) various battles over the       years. Such as all the rain at Waterloo led to Napoleons defeat (bogged down       in mud). How Germany used a bitterly cold December to push the Allies back       (Battle of the Bulge) briefly.        Then general history, how the 1815 (?) volcano eruption in the Pacific       caused the "year without summer" in 1816 which affected crops in Europe and       the US and Canada.        I can go on but you get the idea.        (And notice how deftly I merged something modern into the past to stay on       topic?)                > I assume every anthropgenic climate change screamer is deliberately &       knowingly lying & committing mass fraud, as they HAVE to know better.               Part of it is the fault of the current "education" system not teaching       things. Instead they just churn out false or partial information dummies.                > I paid attention in school, mostly, but enough to know that as glaciers       GROW, they "calve" pieces into the ocean, which become ice bergs.               Concur.        Its as if these things never happened before.               > Now I'm hearing a polar(NPI) opposite explanation. . . that's worded in such       away, with the visual, that the majority of tv viewers will eat it up,       unquestioningly. & then elect people & effect public policy changes based on       this flawed perception of Earth'               I blame a lot on modern education.        Back in our day we were taught to think and explain why we thought the       way we did.        Today its indoctrination, not education.        Take someone who knows nothing (a child), fill his head with all sorts of       misinformation, don't have them think and after a while you have a nice       little idiot who believes anything they are told.        Plus keep the populace fat and happy with bread and circuses.         Keep them fed on "free" government monies, keep them entertained with       social media, regular media, tell them only what you want them to know...               > Then. . ."climate change" (highfalutin' word for "weather")               Whenever someone starts in on "climate change" I ask "You mean the       weather?"        Speaking of which, I wish to make a prediction.        I predict that starting about now and through February its gonna get       really cold and snowy. But things will start looking up around late March and       by summer it will be hot.         For those in the southern hemisphere, I predict the opposite.        You may quote me on that. :)              > & if I say anything, I'm the arsehole, & immediately dismissed.               So they are taught in school and the media.        It's like the Middle Ages where there were heretics and witches and       things like that.        The all wise professional ruling class will make pronouncements and all       those who don't believe the same are branded heretics and should be burned at       a virtual stake.        Keep quiet and do as we say.              > I's amazing how they've managed to get the generat8uions sdpo baffled that       there's now about 400 million North Americans (USA & Canada) who,. for the       majoruity, trabidly proclaim the lies they've been spoon-fed.               Refer to my previous comments of indoctrination vs education.              > They eagerly await the dying off of our generation.                Sometimes when I see little kids I think "what kind of world will they       live in?" Will things continue to just get crazier or are one of them one who       will stand up for sanity?              > I love it!
