The Greenhouse Effect Can Lead to Global Cooling
There is a new study out that actually is starting to understand cycles. Climate experts have discovered that there is a natural feedback loop that creates the basis of a cycle. It is like the words your mother told you, “Too much of anything is bad.” Many kids would love to just eat chocolate bars for dinner.
There is a cycle to everything and the light has gone off that even if we accept that global warming is caused by the increase in CO2, the greenhouse effect is not something that would EVER be a linear projection for that is impossible for anything.
What they have discovered is the as CO2 has increased, temperatures have actually decreased by 0.2C to 0.25C degrees (0.36F to 0.45F) since the 1980s. This shocking unexpected trend has shown the obvious flaw in the whole climate change argument. As carbon dioxide emissions increase, it feeds a surge in plant life growth, which low and behold, consumes the CO2. The study was published in Nature.
Can I help You? I Talked To A Man Today
(Tom: This post I copied from a Facebook friend applies just as much in Australia and New Zealand and more so in Britain.
Shared by Humbled and Thankful)
I talked to an older man today…
I talked with an 80+ year old man. I asked him if there was anything I can get him while this corona-virus scare had the American people by the throat. He simply smiled, looked away and said:
“Let me tell you what I need! I need to believe, at some point, this country my generation fought for, …I need to believe this nation we handed safely to our children and their children will go on.
I need to know this generation will quit being a bunch of sissies, …that they respect what they’ve been given, …that they’ve earned what others sacrificed for.”
I wasn’t sure where the conversation was going or if it was going anywhere at all. So, I sat there, quietly listening…
“You know, I was a little boy during WWII. Those were scary times. We didn’t know if we were going to be speaking English, German or Japanese at the end of the war. There was no certainty, no guarantees like Americans enjoy today.
And no home went without sacrifice or loss. Every house, up and down every street, had someone in harm’s way. Maybe their Daddy was a soldier, maybe their son was a sailor, maybe it was an uncle. Sometimes it was the whole family, …fathers, sons, uncles…
Having someone, you love, sent off to war, …it wasn’t less frightening than it is today. It was scary as Hell. If anything, it was more frightening. We didn’t have battle front news.
We didn’t have email or cellphones. You sent them away and you hoped, …and you prayed. You might not hear from them for months, if ever again. Sometimes a mother was getting her son’s letters the same day Dad was comforting her over their child’s death.
And we sacrificed. You couldn’t buy things. Everything was rationed. You were only allowed so much milk per month, only so much bread, toilet paper. EVERYTHING was restricted for the war effort. And what you weren’t using, what you didn’t need, things you threw away, they were salvaged and sorted for the war effort. My generation was the original recycling movement in America.
And we had viruses back then, …serious viruses. Things like polio, influenza, measles, and such. But, it was nothing to walk to school and pass a house or two that was quarantined.
We didn’t shut down our schools. We didn’t shut down our cities. We certainly did not shut down our businesses! We carried on, without masks, without hand sanitizer. And do you know what? We persevered. We overcame. We didn’t attack our President, we worked together. Other elected officials didn’t try to sabotage his good works. We rallied around the flag. Thick or thin, we were in it to win. And we lost more boys in a day of combat than we lose in an entire war today.”
He slowly looked away again. Maybe I saw a small tear in the corner of his eye. Then he continued:
“Today’s kids don’t know sacrifice. They think a sacrifice is not having coverage on their phone while they freely drive across the country. Today’s kids are selfish and spoiled. In my generation, we looked out for our elders. We helped out with single moms who’s husbands were either at war or dead from war. Today’s kids rush to the store, buying everything they can, …no concern for anyone but themselves. It’s shameful the way Americans behave these days. None of them deserve the sacrifices their grandfathers made.
So, no I don’t need anything. I appreciate your offer but, I know I’ve been through worse things than this virus. But maybe I should be asking you, what can I do to help you? Do you have enough pop to get through this, enough steak? Will you be able to survive with only 100 channels on your TV?”
I smiled, fighting back a tear of my own, …now humbled by a man in his 80’s. All I could do was thank him for the history lesson, leave my number for emergency and with my ego firmly tucked in my rear.
I talked to a man today. A real man. An American man from an era long since gone and forgotten. We may never fully understand the sacrifices he saw and knew. We may never fully earn those sacrifices. But we should work harder to learn about them, …to learn from them, …to respect them.
10 smart tips for a longer, healthier life
Almost half of coronavirus patients have digestive symptoms, study finds
Almost half of coronavirus patients have digestive symptoms, study finds
Diarrhea and other digestive symptoms are the main complaint in nearly half of coronavirus patients, Chinese researchers report. Most patients with the coronavirus have respiratory symptoms, but these findings from the early stages of the outbreak show that digestive problems are prevalent in many patients with COVID-19.
“Clinicians must bear in mind that digestive symptoms, such as diarrhea, may be a presenting feature of COVID-19, and that the index of suspicion may need to be raised earlier in these cases rather than waiting for respiratory symptoms to emerge,” wrote the investigators from the Wuhan Medical Treatment Expert Group for COVID-19.
However, the finding showed that patients with digestive symptoms had a longer time from symptom onset to hospital admission than patients without digestive symptoms, 9 days versus 7.3 days.
This suggests that patients with digestive symptoms sought care later because they didn’t yet suspect they had COVID-19 due to a lack of respiratory symptoms, such as cough or shortness of breath, the researchers explained.
Patients with digestive symptoms had a variety of problems, including loss of appetite (nearly 84%), diarrhea (29%), vomiting (0.8%) and abdominal pain (0.4%).
Seven of the patients in the study had digestive symptoms but no respiratory symptoms.
As the severity of the disease increased, digestive symptoms became more serious, the researchers found.

Leave it to the Irish….!
I found myself in a pub in Cork, Ireland. A group of American tourists came in.
One of the Americans said, in a loud voice, “I hear you Irish think you’re great drinkers.
I bet $5,000 that no one here can drink 20 pints of Guinness in 30 minutes.”
The bar was silent, but the American noticed one Irishman leaving.
No one took up the bet.
40 minutes later, the Irishman who left returned and said, “Hey Yank, is yer bet still on?”
“Sure” said the American, “20 pints in 30 minutes for a bet of $5,000.”
“Grand, ” replied the Irishman, “so pour the pints and start the clock. “
It was very close but the last drop was consumed with 2 seconds to spare.
“OK Yank, pay up.” said the Irishman.
“I’m happy to pay, here’s your money” said the American.
“But tell me, when I first offered the wager, I saw you leave. Where did you go?’
“Well sir”, replied the Irishman, “$5,000 is a lot of money to a man like me. So I went to the pub across the road to see if I could do it.
