Global Warming?

Oh ye of little faith.

Oh yeah, I'm the guy who started the thread: It's All Downhill From Here.

Actually, I believe that entropy might be the case in physical systems, when viewed apart from the whole. I mean, once the ethers spin up and form into strings, and these, on to quarks and such, there will be limits within each semi-independent system of motion, but the forces behind universal motions are not necessarily subject to entropy. In fact, I'd bet against it. As for the system known as, "planet earth," we in a heap of doo doo.

Whoa. ... Everything is subject to entropy. The only thing that conquers it for a time, within itself, is a healthy maturing living thing.

Was human evolution caused by climate change?

Models of how animal and plant distributions are affected by climate change may also explain aspects of human evolution.

With climate change, US could face risk from Chagas disease

Posted: 15 Mar 2012 11:02 AM PDT

People in the US may be at higher risk for Chagas disease than previously understood. A new study finds that 38 percent of kissing bugs collected in Arizona and California contained human blood and that more than 50 percent of the bugs also carried the parasite that causes this life-threatening disease. This upends the view that US kissing bug species don't regularly feed on people and suggests that Chagas could spread, driven north by climate change.

High is 85 today. I am glad there is no global warming. It would really be hot then.

Is it still March?



Feels a lot like May around here, pretty certain we'll get a frost that will damage a lot of natural fruits, particularly the apple trees. Our last day in these parts for frost is around May 16, I see the weather man has 70 degree highs for the next week.

Yeah, a normal frost for the time frame would mess up the fruit trees. Heck - a few more days of this and the zoysia grass will start to green up!

It is more like living things deal with it for a period of time until entropy eventually conquers them. Humans are only about 25% efficient because of entropy.

We had one year outa the last five that we had apples due to no frost, that was last year. Before that we had apples every year.

You are going to have to allow me to have my view, mostly because you can't stop me from having it. You see, I was lucky. I had a learning disability.

Maybe every thing is subject, depending, that is, on how one defines, "thing." Being physical, and so limited, the illusion of the physical is a strong one, occupying our physical senses as it does. Only in an unconstrained consciousness, may we step, so to speak, beyond, or around, our physical limitations.

At any rate, as The Messiah's Handbook states:

"The original sin is to limit the Is. Don't."​

Just because we signed on for a tour of these entropically biased spaces, the trick may be to remain, to a degree, cognizant of what powers them up. It is infinitely mysterious. Finite reason falls short. Rational comes up short when there is a lazy-8 on either side of the ':'. Meanwhile, back on earth, the finite ratios are being denied.

Eliminate Sin??

Redefine Sin!:thumbsup:

Rain today. Snow forecast for tomorrow. The weather hasn't changed. It's just in a different location.
