But, DDT doesn’t kill, it is used as a deterrent (think DEET). The vector mosquito doesn’t land on any surface coated by DDT. Domiciles, bedding and netting were sprayed and the mosquitoes wouldn’t stick around.

If mosquitoes couldn’t bite malaria infected humans, it couldn’t be passed on. DDT controlled the vector to control malaria.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

Thanks for the information. I thought the DDT killed them. I learn something new every day.

It seems to me, you can either believe in Darwinian evolution, or you can oppose “climate change”, but not both.

If you believe in evolution, then “climate change” is just another change in the environment that we should adapt to, and if we can’t adapt, we are an inferior species and should be supplanted. If you oppose “climate change”, then you must be ascribing some special mystical quality to the human species that you would want to tailor the planet specifically to their needs in order to preserve them from that natural weeding out process.

I've written it 100 times....Man is so vain.

I use the example of man's creation of satellites....made of parts...that have to be constantly "monitored".

Then I look at God's "satellites"...the stars....living sources of energy and awe.

Man is so vain!

Trump’s EPA administrator Scott Pruitt said, "The climate is changing. That’s not the debate. The debate is how do we know what the ideal surface temperature is in 2100?"

Scott Pruitt's right... 'climate scientists' are wrong. It's really that easy.

Texas Tech’s Katharine Hayhoe agreed, noting that human civilization has developed in the relatively stable climate of the past 10,000 years.

The climate charts I've seen look anything BUT stable!

PS - how do you get the “degree symbol” to show up in your posts? I’ve not been able to accomplish it.

Use ° or ° where the degree symbol should be when posting to FR.
In other words, 100°C is typed as 100°C

FRegards!

Texas Tech’s Katharine Hayhoe agreed, noting that human civilization has developed in the relatively stable climate “of the past 10,000 years”

10K years ago in the South there were Balsam Firs growing in SC. Today they’re constrained to only the climate of the higher elevations in the Blue Ridge and Smokies.

Stable? What about:

Boreal (age)

Neolithic Subpluvial

Older Peron

Middle Bronze Age Cold Epoch

The Roman Warm Period.

The Little Ice Age.

The agenda driven ignorance of climate change propagandists is stupendous.

Meanwhile, the average could change, but if local fluctuations were minimal, it would not cause suffering. e.g. what if the poles got a lot warmer and the equator got a lot cooler Imagine the entire surface averaging, in any one location, between 60 and 80 degrees during the summer. We might have less land mass, but it would be a veritable paradise. And condos in Antarctica would be the rage, and vineyards in Siberia.


That sounds bad for hockey and ice fishing. No thanks.

There is a second part of this line of thinking...

Once you pin down an exact temperature, the next question is, “What exactly do we need to do to get to that temperature.”

Once you have that answer you can determine if it is worth it or not.

You’re welcome. I didn’t know if you were looking for HTML code for the degree symbol, or to copy it over from your computer somehow.

There are several ways to accomplish the same purpose.

Yes, but he only countersued. Mann sued Steyn just to exhaust Steyn.

Thanks. I do remember Mann being a donkey’s sheath. I don’t remember what finally happened about that suit.
