Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

I'm old enough to remember that first it was Global Cooling and the threat of a new Ice Age, then it was Global Warming, then it was Climate Change, and now - it's a Climate Emergency! Get the fuck out. What's next? We're All Going to Die (so please give generously)...  Really feel that Rep. Matt Gaetz is being railroaded in the court of public opinion. It is chilling how his reputation is being shredded without any charges or facts. Compare this to the story of Rep. Eric Swalwell who was sleeping with a Chinese spy but whose story was memory-holed by the very same media outlets. The difference of course is one is a Republican and one is a Democrat. This is sickening behavior by the media... For the record I stopped reading or paying attention to Scientific American a couple of decades ago. Its been pop-science crap for a long time... Urgent Owl would be a good name for a band... Part of me thinks the conservation movement went off the rails when it went from a day where people actually did something constructive - Arbor Day when people planted trees - to Earth Day where people just hippie virtue signaled. It should be remembered that Earth Day was created by a murderer (Ira Einhorn) and the day was picked to honor the star of the show Green Acres on his birthday (Eddie Albert). It's always been crazy...
