The good news is that mankind generally understands that it’s the ‘amplified greenhouse effect’ which is the source of increasing global temperatures. With this in mind, it well behooves us to rapidly advance and apply our scientific and technological knowledge to the point that the burning of fossil fuels to produce electricity will become as antiquated as the burning of whale oil for light.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px;">Quote: “Anxiety must go.

Thankfully, even though greenhouse gases comprise only <span dir="ltr">4/10</span>ths of one percent of the atmosphere, they are so powerful that they maintain a ‘blanketing effect’ by constantly ‘absorbing and releasing’ infrared heat energy over and over, again and again. In doing so, they gyrate wildly, thus causing them to vigorously collide with other atmospheric molecules which, in turn, collide with other air molecules, imparting the kinetic energy of motion throughout the atmosphere — and this vibratory state registers as temperature.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;

The rest worshipped Ba’al]. Generally known as the Hyksos, they eventually increased in numbers until they finally took over and governed this region from 1638 BCE until 1530 BCE (when they were driven out during the Hyksos Expulsion].</span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1">Prior to this, in 1650 BCE, a powerful fireball (asteroid air explosion similar to the 1908</span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1">Tunguska event in Siberia) had devastated the fertile Canaanite region north of the Dead Sea, which would have increased the number of people migrating. Note, also, that this area is along a rift zone with many geologic faults, especially to the west — where the Santorini super volcano Thera had already been building towards an explosion. Four years later, in 1646 BCE, it blew and triggered the events known as the Ten Plagues of the Exodus.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1">So, in a nutshell, Canaanite numbers had been increasing for a long time and had become so problematic for the Egyptians that countermeasures against them led to the events that brought Moses into the picture [Review biblical story of Joseph and then of Moses] — then the fireball incident sends a new wave of immigrants into a deteriorating situation that would force Moses to flee with his people from Egypt. In between the fireball incident and the Santorini explosion, God tells Moses to go forth to Egypt. Moses does so, and one of the first things that happens is that Santorini explodes and the Ten Plagues of Egypt ensues.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;

These photons interact only with greenhouse gas molecules in the atmosphere — which slows down their escape back into space, thus causing the atmosphere to retain more infrared photonic energy (heat).</span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1">Another example: The reason organic farming is so important in helping to sequester carbon is that it helps build up humus in the soil, whereas the use of synthetic fertilizers works towards stripping the soil of humus. Soil Regeneration describes practices that build up the life in the topsoil that feeds the plants we need in order to survive. Soil Degradation is when soil is overused and its quality declines due to excessive farming practices, and can occur from factors such as erosion, nutrient depletion, compaction, and loss of organic matter.</span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1"><a href="https://samslair.blogspot.com/2023/08/agw-carbon-sequestration-in-topsoil.html?m=1">https://samslair.blogspot.com/2023/08/agw-carbon-sequestration-in-topsoil.html?m=1</a></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">Note: The following glossary has a search function at the top of the page which will link you to short explanation pages that each give you a link to a more detailed explanation and to other subjects related to global climate change.

font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px;">In the 1800s, cities in Britain were crowded, dirty and disease ridden. The British observed that the mortality rate amongst tea drinkers was notably less than was typical. They attributed this to the medicinal qualities of tea, not realizing that it was the act of boiling the water and killing pathogens that was the key. This misconception helped fuel an ever greater desire for tea from China.</span></p><p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px;">Meanwhile, China’s great need to establish a solid national monetary system caused them to only accept silver for their goods. However, when the British ran low on silver, they began smuggling opium from India into China in exchange for silver, which they then bought tea and such with. This eventually led to the Opium Wars when China tried to stop opium from entering the country. This, in turn, led to China’s defeat — and, thus, began their ‘one hundred years of humiliation’ at the hands of foreign imperialists. </span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px;">“Role of Silver in Chinese History”</p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1"><a href="https://aheadoftheherd.com/the-role-of-silver-in-chinese-history/">https://aheadoftheherd.com/the-role-of-silver-in-chinese-history/</a></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1">“China’s Century of Humiliation” </span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1">(1 hour 16 minute video)</span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1"><a href="https://youtu.be/boPkMCJSYSs">https://youtu.be/boPkMCJSYSs</a></span></p>Sam I Amhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12665967784759449894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523592002471069714.post-35620541683129073822023-07-25T12:10:00.013-05:002023-08-22T16:39:40.294-05:00AGW: My Comments About Global Warming<p><span class="s1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px;">AGW: Cause and Effect — The cause of anthropogenic global warming is artificially increased levels of greenhouse gases.

In other words, an atmosphere without greenhouse gases would let all of the heat (infrared light) from the surface of the planet radiate freely out into space.

About 700 million years ago though, the evolution of cyanobacteria consumed so much of the CO2 in the atmosphere that the entire planet turned into a giant ice box during the epoch called Snowball Earth.

Whereas visible light passes freely thru the atmosphere, infrared interacts with and is absorbed by larger molecules, such as carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, water vapor, etcetera.

font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px;">Years ago, I realized that the world is quite possibly not going to be able to avoid the dramatic natural consequence that the ‘amplified greenhouse effect’ is having on an already overpopulated planet. I, therefore, have gone to great lengths to explain how not all visible light is reflected away from Earth’s surface — that some is absorbed and then radiated away as ‘infrared light’ (heat). Whereas visible light passes freely thru the atmosphere, infrared interacts with and is absorbed by larger molecules, such as carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, water vapor, etcetera. It is humanity’s general inability to understand this that our overpopulation problem will be solved in such a way that we’ll be reminded that “it’s not nice to fool Mother Nature”!</span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;

font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px;">Many of the events in the Bible occurred long before they were ever written down. These stories were kept alive by their being told over and over again. Some stories converged with other stories — and some diverged. That does not invalidate the stories. It enriches our culture by bringing more spiritual meaning into our lives. Some stories, however, should not be told to young children who lack the life experience to properly process them. For example, stories involving genocide, collecting Philistine foreskins, incest, etcetera are not for the young and innocent (those parts that would be rated PG-13 and higher).</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;

There are other geopolitical reasons for Russia doing this, but this one does the most to assuage Russian paranoia about invasions. </span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px;"><span class="s1"></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1">[Note: Even paranoids can have real enemies. In this case, it is global warming, which will eventually turn tundra into temperate farmland which, in turn, will attract massive numbers of climate change refugees. Hence, the fear of yet more invasions that will use various historical invasion routes from the west, south and east. Securing Ukraine will help block at least one such invasion gateway.]</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1">“In the past 500 years, Russia has been invaded several times from the west. The Poles came across the European Plain in 1605, followed by the Swedes under Charles XII in 1707, the French under Napoleon in 1812, and the Germans—twice, in both world wars, in 1914 and 1941. In Poland, the plain is only 300 miles wide—from the Baltic Sea in the north to the Carpathian Mountains in the south—but after that point it stretches to a width of about 2,000 miles near the Russian border, and from there, it offers a flat route straight to Moscow. Thus Russia’s repeated attempts to occupy Poland throughout history; the country represents a relatively narrow corridor into which Russia could drive its armed forces to block an enemy advance toward its own border, which, being wider, is much harder to defend.”</span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1"><a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2015/10/russia-geography-ukraine-syria/413248/">https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2015/10/russia-geography-ukraine-syria/413248/</a></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1">An article written by Peter Zeihan in December 2021:</span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1">“A Ukraine War and the End of Russia”</span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1"><a href="https://zeihan.com/a-ukraine-war-and-the-end-of-russia/">https://zeihan.com/a-ukraine-war-and-the-end-of-russia/</a></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1">Maps showing invasion gateways:</span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1"><a href="https://twitter.com/PeterZeihan/status/1495884487917715456">https://twitter.com/PeterZeihan/status/1495884487917715456</a></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">For more from Peter Zeihan, search;</p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">‘peter zeihan russia‘</p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">‘Peter zeihan china’</p>Sam I Amhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12665967784759449894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523592002471069714.post-54365248410503466532023-03-17T11:35:00.008-05:002023-04-29T00:49:30.800-05:00History: How Americans Created and Maintained the Global Order After World War II Thru Globalization<p> <span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px;">“How ‘Bretton Woods Conference’ led to winning the Cold War (very short but powerful video)”</span></p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/seKkczyEYvk" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px;">https://youtu.be/seKkczyEYvk</a></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1">‘Bretton Woods’ provided global security for all the maritime and industrial powers, enabling all of them to access any resource anywhere at anytime safely, and then export finished goods anywhere. Bretton Woods puts all the world’s competing naval / maritime / trading powers on the same side by providing them with everything they had ever fought to attain.

Without religion, many might not find their way to the Holy Spirit — but religion is not the goal. And no single religion or any collection of religions can claim to know the sole path to God. All paths that lead to God are good. Indeed, each person walks their own path ‘in the end.’</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px;">For more, ‘copy and paste’ the above and use as search parameters on your favorite search engine.
