😆🤣😜

I’d be disappointed if they didn’t, on that one.

I saw and toured the Spruce Goose when she was in Long Beach.

I always refer to it as, "the essential plant nutrient, CO2"

So 170 bison are going to save the planet. What if they fart? These people are nuts.

I’ve gotten very good at spotting clickbait. “And then this happened,” or any description with a juicy adverb. I thought about making a list, but it would be long and never ending. Sort of like Biden gaffs.

If soil compaction is the ticket, we all need a solar powered asphalt roller.

Interstate construction near me and the earth shakes for a quarter of a mile when they break up the old concrete.

So Russia wouldn't know how much the CIA really learned from raising that sub.

200 years ago hundreds of millions of flatulent bison roamed the great plains of North America releasing climate busting clouds of greenhouse gas methane. Certainly that should have assured a climate apocalypse decades ago.

It is interesting but carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) are two different compounds. There are some who are shifting away from the CO2 alarmism and shifting it to CH4. That is why the recent push to thin herds of cattle and switch to bug eating.

Had buffalo burgers at Rushmore in 60’s. Tasty.
Did you escape the recent weather? Looked bad.

“I find it incredible that there are still articles and studies going on.”

This has everything to do with the endless supply of grant money for anything that contains the word “climate”.

“But mention them and someone waves his hand and says, “We’re all gonna die in just ten years.” “

That’s sooo yesterday! The latest “we’re all going to die!” prediction is in two years according to the UN climate chief.

This is good. Because, if something stops working, then do it again...harder...louder. This means the threat isn’t working as well as it once did.
