Averages are even harder to understand than magnets.

Renowned scientist Joe Rogan’s full of shit? Say it ain’t so!

“Will nobody think of the oil companies?”

They’ll just pocket the money and keep on killing us. They’re also the ones behind the MAGA war on climate science and renewable energy.

“Doubt.”

Oh, they mean lies. Right.

They’re not challenging the science. They just don’t like the conclusions.

He has to do it. Russia’s biggest export earner is fossil fuel, and they can’t turn a profit unless the prices are high on the international markets. Also, their grey fleet is increasingly being blocked from evading sanctions, and their export infrastructure has been getting blown up by Ukraine. So they need every penny they can get. And Trump is Putin’s bitch, so he attacks renewables, which free countries from the fossil-fuel dependency that gives assholes like Putin and the Gulf despots so much leverage on Western economies.

The words were “Yeah, boss,”

Basturma (Middle Eastern pastrami) is also a wonderful thing. The intensity of flavor is incredible.

And if those Muslims are Syrian, their whole cuisine is incredible. Even the Lebanese, who claim to have invented everything and to be the best at everything, will admit that the food in Aleppo is (probably was, after all the destruction) better than in Lebanon.

even being in the presence of pork products is enough to make Muslims melt into the floor like the wicked witch

Some Muslims really are like that. The ones who are, are usually from the more backward countries.

But Islam also says that if you’re starving and pork is the only available food, eat the pork.

Alcohol, on the other hand, is a hard no.

Now in my view, I don’t see how any religion that forbids carnitas can possibly be divinely inspired.

Even so, I’ve never met an Islamophobe who isn’t a raving asshole, but I’ve met a number of Muslims who are good people, even if I don’t agree with some of their religious prohibitions.

Exxon has caused so much damage to the earth that it should be expropriated by the EU and shut down in an orderly but ideally irreversible manner. Demolish the refineries and pipelines, fill the wellheads with concrete, ban any executive from ever managing a corporation again.

Look at the coming winter in Russia to get a good picture of what excessive fossil fuel reliance can do to you, both for domestic use and for export earnings.

It’s not a mistake, it’s a deliberate crime.

The Trump war on science continues.

The tobacco companies funded a small army of shills who said exactly that, publishing fraudulent papers and feeding the media’s phony simplistic need for “balance.”

“I’m just asking questions!”

Sealioning as a justification for corrupt policy.

Putin needs to sell oil and gas in order to keep murdering Ukrainian civilians.

“Congerssional resistance” my ass. If they wanted to stop it, they could.

The fossil fuel companies (and petro-despotisms) have been in a decades-long conspiracy to lie about the damage their shitty products cause to the climate nad the environment. They should be held liable, and their assets seized as partial payment. Then they should be wound down.

Then demand for fossil fuels would drop and Putin would lose money.

So yeah, if it were me, we’d be subsizing solar for just that reason.

There should be a turbine powered by the hot air coming out of Altman’s piehole.
