Random Thoughts or Whatever

[Pio1980]

He's not lying.

There's quite a few atmospheric studies being done by NASA all over the world (the biggest, most complex one is in Guam, IIRC), and part of what they are doing is to precisely track the plumes of pollution as they propagate around the world. Basically, what seems to be the results, is that unless the world deals with ALL countries' pollution at the same time, it isn't going to be very effective. We can't afford to give any country a pass, if we're going to do it right... they're all going to need to meet the same standards, at the same time.

It's his concept of it that's bonkers, it's not simply blobs of Chinese (or anyone else's) pollution floating around replacing blobs of cleaner air elsewhere. The pool analogy is appropriate. Doing somethings somewhere helps reduce the overall level, doing more everywhere by everyone eventially would obviously be much better. The "perfect" is the enemy of the "good", just because perfection can't be immediate doesn't mean there's no point in doing anything to address the problems now.

It becomes a tricky balance of just how much does one kill their economy addressing it when a competing country won't do even small things. The associated expense can be great and often so called 'rich' countries are just buried in debt from spending to look rich. Of course doing nothing isn't an option but finding a balance isn't easy; especially when within a single location some won't accept anything less than perfection and some won't accept any expense.

Now I have to go dig them out.

Thanks!

Atmospheric AURORA event

As heard and seen. Tonight is the second night of a great Atmospheric Aurora Of Solar Magnetic Flux Energy event.
( Aurora - Websters New World Dictionary - any of various luminous phenomena, similar to the aurora borealis, in the atmosphere of the planet ).

VOICE : last night a counterpart was mentioning that the event started yesterday in the state of Texas.
SEEN : Personally, I viewed the various shades of pink and light grey skies ever distant here in Western Maryland, yesterday.

I admire one but cannot stand to hear the other.

Had to look that one up. Had no idea what you were referring to with that title.

When you hear "ice" and "baby" together, do you think of Jim Carrey bouncing around like a beached fish?
I do.

Yeah, I thought of that scene as well.

My political education came from secretly -- my grandmother did not approve -- watching the Watergate hearings.

I imagine now that the experience I derived was similar to the illicit thrill of a teenager -- which I was not -- watching porn.

If they relocate CIA from VA to WVA, they can trade “Havana Syndrome” for Black Lung.
