The first couple of years are bad, but we adapt, or die. I do believe there are a lot of people taking advantage of a bad situation though. China, is just China, they figured they could contain it, without anybody finding out about their dirty little secrets. They eat bats... The WHO, thought that China had it mostly contained, so thought it would be a great time to experiment on pandemic response. Than wanted to try a new approach, and see if they could keep the deaths under a million or so, common with these sorts of pandemics. The experiment isn't really doing so well, and likely to be a complete failure, and very costly, economically, and in human lives. Price of good science, is always high...

Duncan said "climate" not "covid". The "China climate plot" is laughably stupid. The Republican party would quickly distance themselves from it if an association were made (it has not been). Trump is a moron so he has of course retweeted and indicated some belief in it. There is a long list of dumb stuff Trump has associated himself with. Here is Trump: The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive. Here is the Republican Party: Climate change is far from this nation's most pressing national security issue.

duncan61 ★★★★★ (2021)	Thanks tmiddles that was what I was seeking.I will not get involved in debates on this site about covid and hope that soon regular posters can get back to climate topics.I have found heaps of other forums and am still into it big time.I have started my own survey on the general populations attitude to AGW and at this point most people I ask do not give a stuff and I have met a few like me that agree we could clean up our act but there is not the dramatic problem that is being claimed.I have just read an article on how all the animals in Africa will die and go extinct if the temperature goes up 2 degrees.Here in Perth yesterday was a record 37.7 for April since 1910,Today was 27.7 nothing died or went extinct you zombies

I personally consider the topic of covid-19 to be more relevant on this board to the main topic of climate change than a topic actually addressing climate change. The reason is that climate change is mainly concerned with events which would transpire in the distant future, 20, 50 a 100 years from now. It gets very abstract very quickly. With covid-19 all of the same major issues are at play. Do you believe experts, why, should the government be involved with dictating the lives and lifestyles of the citizens of Earth for the greater good, and so on. Figuring out how to handle covid-19 is actually the most relevant topic yet to figuring out how to handle climate change. When do the costs outweigh the benefits. Is there a vast conspiracy and how can you prove that. Dealing with an issue the regular folks struggle to fully comprehend as the science involved is complex. The ineffective results you'd get if you "agree to disagree" on a global issue. It's also a great way to see how someone's argument on climate is constructed as the same argument is made for Covid-19. I discovered that Trump was an excellent topic in this regard as well. All of the climate deniers on the site have insisted I'm a "liar" for pointing out that Trump called for a ban on Muslims in his first campaign ad back in 2016. GasGuzzler: "You called it a ban on Muslims. That would actually be offensive." Into the Night wrote: You aren't quoting him accurately, so yes, you are a liar. IBdaMann wrote:...you are a LIAR for intentionally distorting Trump's message...

HarveyH55★★★★★ (5196)	Nobody denied that Trump called for a TEMPORARY ban on Muslims entering the country. You repeatedly left off the word, "TEMPORARY", and insisted it was a permanent ban. Just like the democrats like to leave off the word, "ILLEGAL", when referring to illegal immigrants. You became a liar. when you try to use your own opinions and interpretations, as what someone else wrote, not what they actually wrote. Then you troll every thread on the site with it, destroying every other topic, you don't agree with. Now, climate change, is total BS, since it's not so much science, but faith based. Do to lack of actual data, they have to work on a lot of assumptions, and interpretations, that could just as easily be completely wrong. They give things like ice cores samples a lot more credit and accuracy, than is really there. The "warming" is actually well within the margin of error, which means it's actually nothing to worry about. Interglacial periods eventually end. Mean, some parts of the globe, will start getting really cold, climate change... They can drag this global warming out for a long time, but eventually, it's not going to be warming anymore, do to the natural cooling of an ice age coming. Likely they know this, and their projections for the catastrophic warming, is actually, where the cooling will be noticable. They can claim 'victory' over global warming. Of course a few decades later, we will be battling global cooling, and an ice age. Sort of like the Ozone scare back in the 70s. It takes a lot of faith, to accept 'warming', and it takes even more, to believe mankind has the power and might, to have any influence on such a huge planet, with very strong natural forces. Nothing we actually do, has a huge impact on nature. Even if there is warming, do to man-made CO2, a god-like molecule. Would extending the interglacial period as long as possible, be a good thing? Cold is a miserable, deadly way to live. Lots of stuff die off, plants don't grow so well in cold climates. Less food for all living things, mas starvation. Takes a lot of calories to maintain body temperature in the cold. Either way, we have little choice, but adapt to what ever nature throws at us, or die. Covid-19, is just another on of those nature things, we have no control over. How we adapt, doesn't really reduce the body count, in the end. We could opt to just get over with it, in a couple years. Or, we can hide in our homes, and stretch out for 5-6 years. Those who can't get vaccinated, or afford any respiratory infection, will die anyway. It still comes down to how well those individuals can isolate themselves from society. Nobody lives forever...

I don't think climate change is much of an issue and am disliked by people like Republicans for saying that. I'd like to think that the coronavirus shows us that there are other issues that we could be wary of but have been ignoring. The GOP says this in your link; Agricultural production and exports are central to the Republican agenda for jobs, growth, expanded trade, and prosperity. Under Mitch McConnell's leadership (and his aide de camp Trump), our trade deficit with China has increased by 17%. I'll translate, exporting agricultural production wins them states in the Bible belt. And expanding trade means importing more from China. All though what more low cost imports from China means is more warehouse jobs at the expense of manufacturing jobs which would benefit more Americans instead of only 2 groups of people, warehouse workers and Republicans.

HarveyH55★★★★★ (5196)	The China trade deal, as well as the USMCA, were only signed, they still haven't gone into effect. Neither trade agreement was intended to go immediate effect, different parts, at different times, over a year or so. Only been a couple months, nothing has really changed. The China agreement, was more preliminary, first-phase, agreement. It wouldn't have drastically reduced the deficit either. The intent was to lay the ground work, and reduce tariffs. It's a unique global economy at the moment, because of Covid-19, numbers are kind of meaningless.
12-04-2020 19:13
James___ ★★★★★ (5513)	Reduced tariffs simply means more imports from China, a communist country. Shouldn't we be desiring to do more trade with democratic countries that share our values? Signed A U.S. Veteran of the Armed Forces Attached image:

Climate Change is completely undefined. You know this. In fact, you insist on leaving it completely undefined so that you can continue worshiping in peace without having your bubble burst by every eighth grader who mentions one of the numerous glaring contradictions and violations of physics. As such, Climate Change isn't concerned with events that would transpire in the distant future because Climate Change isn't concerned with anything beyond bringing new members into the church, which I might add, is the only religion to impose heavy, graduated tithing on non-members. tmiddles wrote: Do you believe experts, why, should the government be involved with dictating the lives and lifestyles of the citizens of Earth for the greater good, and so on.

This is another intentionally dishonest "gotcha" question. The hype and the panic over this year's flu season, as though it is the coming zombie coronapocalypse, is the hoax. COVID-19 is an actual virus, a bit weaker than last year's flu and a LOT weaker than the flu virus that went around in 2017-2018.

tmiddles★★★★★ (3979)	IBdaMann wrote: Yes, the hoax is a gambit fully intended to damage Trump at the polls in November. very clearly said. I did not think you meant Covid-19 did not exist but rather that your position was precisely as you've described it. As I think we can all agree the Covid-19 "reaction"/framing/hysteria is what we are discussing. I think we can also agree that it (the response to Covid-19) is financially devestating to countries not voting in our election in November: UK, France, Spain, Italy .... So I'm curious if you have a theory as to why they are willing participants in this hoax? Also as Trumps poll numbers haven't fallen wouldn't a country like Italy, which really cannot afford a financial hit like this, give up and get back to work when they saw it was not producing results? I can tell you, as someone who hates Trump more than I've ever hated anything, that I would not inflinct 1% of the toll this is taking on the world just to see him lose.
18-04-2020 17:47
HarveyH55★★★★★ (5196)	Do you think the global over-reaction might be do to the virus research lab being located very close to ground zero? It wasn't a huge secret that China had the lab there, just the work being done. It's unknowable if the virus occurred naturally, or whether it got out of the lab accidentally, deliberately. China isn't likely to admit they lied, a sign of weakness. Kind of why I refuse to get involved in debate games here. Initially, the medical, military, and intelligence (or lack of), in all countries, would push for an abundance of caution, as if it was a bio-weapon, until it can be tested, or found out to be anything else. The medical communities, also had an operatunity, to try a new approach toward fighting a pandemic. Politicians, saw an operatunity to abuse their power, and seize control. The media, of course, had literally, a captive-audience, and guaranteed ratings. Basically, everyone, other than the citizens, profits from amping up the fear and panic, over what is turning out to be nothing more than a common, unremarkable cold virus, making it's first run through the human population of the world. Since we attempt to mess with the natural spread of the virus, we should expect a worst than normal second round, but probably not as bad as the first. Won't know until next Fall, since symptoms were mild for most, and it hit during the regular cold and flu season. Have to wait and see how many actually had this particular virus, and never knew the difference. A very small percentage of the world population has been tested. Not many of those tested, came back positive. It's been pretty well established, that Covid-19 is not a bio-weapon. But there are a lot of people of power, who don't want to let a good panic go to waste, since they can profit from it, and control others. The new infection numbers are easily manipulated, by the number of tests administered and processed. The numbers increased, 'at an alarming rate', because more test kits were made available, and more labs to process. I think the test kits will still get used, as will the newer rapid-tests, but fewer will be lab-processed. The labs usually have plenty of other work, and thats been back-logging. There are hundreds, of known viruses, that infect the respiratory system in humans, There is nothing preventing us from getting infected by multiple viruses at the same time. The immune system produces the same responses for many reasons, other than infection. It's not generally necessary for a doctor to know which virus or bacteria, specifically is actually responsible for an infection. Initially, he just needs to know if the symptoms are in response to a pathogen, or a physical problem. Knowing which type of pathogen, will help chose the best treatment, bacteria/virus, cold/flu. Killing the infection, lets the patient's immune system stop fighting so hard. It's the immune system doing all the damage, not the infection. Consider chemotherapy, where they pump a patient full of toxic chemicals. The theory is that cancer cells are weaker than normal cells, and will die quicker. The trick, is to poison you just enough to kill the cancer, and do minimal damage to essential organs. If you've ever gone through it, personally, or with a friend, or family member, it's rough stuff. Our immune system does something similar with infections, create a hostile environment for the infection, which is also rough on healthy cells and organs. People areadly in bad shape, for other medical reasons, have a tougher time dealing with more medical problems. Your body can only deal with some many issues at one time, needs help. Germaphobes, or those with known high-risk medical conditions, are thrilled with the restrictions, focus on hygiene, sanitation and everything else, they have been doing for years. False sense of security, because they will always need to take the same personal-responsibility measures, to ensure their own safety, it's a filthy world, outside their isolated living space. They do get a measure of comfort, knowing the normal world, as to share their misery, for a short time...

duncan61 ★★★★★ (2021)	I think Trump has put USA first and done good stuff.The articles you present are just normal dirt which I am sure he can deal with.Who would you prefer to be your number one?what choices do you have?His stance on AGW/GW Impresses me as it is not the popular roll over line.He could state that he is doing everything about it and do nothing he chooses to say F off its not true and put himself in the firing line.I am doing a personal survey as I am a contractor and meet a lot of different people almost daily and At the right time I query on their personal stance.More than 50% have no interest and a few are conserned about pollution/population but I have yet to meet a hard line Warmazombie that full on believes we are going to burn.I can only hope as I have a lot of questions.Is it possible that not every thread turns in to this Covid crap

HarveyH55★★★★★ (5196)	Climate Change believers and activists have a lot of cash on hand. Rather than spending it, they could be using that money to get a lot of people converted to 'green' renewable. It's amusing that those with the loudest voice, do the least, on their own land, in with their own companies. They don't want to spend their own money, on something so close to their heart. Their wealth means more than the health of the planet. Should be a huge indicator, as to who's lying, and what climate change is really all about. It's not about 'greening' the planet, it's about seizing power and control, stealing other people's wealth. Solar panels and windmills take up a lot of land, which can no longer be used for other things, and don't produce constant, consistent power. Our power grid was designed or built to handle unstable supplies. Unstable power grid, means more frequent blackouts.

Trump gave the first pay raise to the US Armed Forces in 10 years. The previous increases in income were not raises but just more money in their paychecks. "You protect us. We are always going to protect you. And you just saw that, because you just got one of the biggest pay raises you've ever received," he said. "You haven't gotten one in more than 10 years — more than 10 years. And we got you a big one. I got you a big one." https://time.com/5489492/trump-military-raise/ It's only a raise when you are told, "this is a raise". The law actually requires that to be made known. If not then an increase in wages is not a raise. A raise has to be identified as such. So legally speaking, President Trump gave a raise while everyone before him just put more money in the pockets of Veterans.

HarveyH55★★★★★ (5196)	It really depends on what you are looking at, as lies. Politicians are professional liars, just like lawyers. Some times the raw facts and truth, do more damage. I was pretty sure, as many others, that it would take 2-3 months to get through the worst of this pandemic. Trump, has been setting potential 'freedom' dates, way too soon, 2-3 weeks more... Pretty much the whole time, it'll be over in a couple weeks. Looking at other countries, like China, it's 2-3 months. We are about half through. Trump keeps the goal post in close, easy reach, to give hope, and reassurance. Couple of weeks are tough to look at, but doable. 2-3 months, is disaster. Fortunately, as an essential worker, I haven't had it that tough. The main things, are mostly a nuicent, not worrisome. Those with no job, no income, and bills piling up, are sure to be having it tough, not knowing just how long this will last, and how they are going to get caught up. It's really amazing, that there seems to be a huge reduction in crime. Figured there would be a whole lot of stealing going on. Maybe it's all the guns and ammo sold, and people sitting at home, or maybe in their shuttered business, looking for a reason to pull the trigger. But what is stopping people from just walking into a store, grabbing whatever they wanted, and leave without paying. Social distance, means no one will physically try to stop them. It's the 'most deadly virus' known to mankind, who's going to risk dying, over a few groceries, or a 12-pack of beer? People are getting restless, and less afraid. Been reading about protests in several cities. had one in Orlando yesterday, about 100 people. Mayor Demings has been too hard-nosed about it, for a democrat. Yep, that's our Rep. Val Demings husband. I do think we are going to see some restriction relaxed, over the next few weeks, but not many of the main ones, for about a month. Lot of businesses will remained closed, no events, that draw crowds. Still travel restrictions. Mostly, little things, that will continue to give people hope that it's really going to end very soon, not in a year or so.

tmiddles★★★★★ (3979)	duncan61 wrote: Not at all its part of the job. I don't think it's acceptable for a leader to lie. Spinning something does not always mean actually lying, in fact it rarely does. Did Thatcher spew completely fabricated and untrue statements like saying windmills cause cancer? Here is what comes up for Margaret Thatcher lying: Margaret Thatcher 'lied to the House of Commons' over the Westland affair A right British scandal in which Thatcher claimed she was entirely unaware a letter had been leaked. But Chancellor, George Osborne countered "I'm not saying Mrs Thatcher knew exactly how this was done, but the point is ... her hands were not entirely clean. " That is a "lie" from normal, not maniac, politicians. A leaked letter, an insincere claim they were not involved, yadda yadda. Now there is Trump who claims demonstrably false things in broad daylight. Like saying windmills cause cancer, weirdly false claims about crowd size: https://www.vogue.com/article/donald-trump-lies-200-days But lies about really important issues too: TRUMP Lies: - "Nobody knows" if Russia interfered in the 2016 election. - Millions of illegal votes were cast in the 2016 election. - never asked then-FBI Director James Comey to drop the investigation into then-national security adviser Michael Flynn. - will release his tax returns as soon as the supposed "routine audit" into his finances is complete. - February 7: "And yet the murder rate in our country is the highest it's been in 47 years, right? Did you know that? Forty-seven years." It is not. - March 4: "Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my 'wires tapped' in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!" No, it isn't—there is no evidence to support this, and it has been roundly denied by the government. And on and on and on 16,000. But what about climate? https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2020/03/the-trump-administration-is-just-flat-out-lying-about-climate-change https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/trump-climate-change-lies/ https://www.sanders.senate.gov/newsroom/video-audio/fox-news-anchor-tired-of-gop-lies-on-climate There is plenty to discuss Duncan.

duncan61 ★★★★★ (2021)	What does Donald Trump do with his presidential salary?The bloke has a few pennies its unlikely he is trying to dodge his tax return.I was directed to a site called pot holer 54.By the warming crowd on SkS and what I perceived from the show was that one day climate scientist put forward a paper that states clouds reflect the sun others disagree and that clouds send back heat to the planet.There is no consensus it changes almost daily. I scored this cool quote from Infowars. Science is rarely settled as today's new discoveries disprove yesterday's consensus. I am coming to the conclusion that to be a full on Warmazombie you have to believe the science without question and selectively pick the science that suits your faith.I need to see results and at this point in 2020 nothing has happened.The ice is still there the sea is still there the land may of sunk a bit who cares.It may be a bit warmer so what.My backyard is green as with birds chirping lizards scurrying about and the weather has cooled and we are getting a bit of rain just like every Autumn. The Salmon have migrated up the coast in good numbers like they do every year and are being caught of the metro coast .The diving of Rottnest is still spectacular for coral and sealife year round.I do not know anyone with this flu crap and our public transport is going back to regular scheduling tomorrow.I am very selfish and if any of these predictions of disaster start to happen I will be the first to cry my eyes out and blame someone else

The point is not to see if a politician didn't pay their taxes it is to see if they have conflict of interest. Like having borrowed money from foreign powers (or domestic) and so on. "We checked an archive of presidential tax returns maintained by the Tax Analysts, a publisher specializing in tax policy. It shows that going back to 1976, all but one major-party nominee released at least one return. Only Republican Gerald Ford, who lost to Democrat Jimmy Carter in 1976, did not release returns (he released summary tax data)" link It's a non-legally binding tradition. Many suspect that Trump has borrowed a great deal of money from Russian oligarchs. I suspect he just doesn't want anyone to know how meager his business has been at times.
