Not really sure, but seems to do more with Elon than Gore.
Elon’s flight to AUS or NZ, or somewhere in South Americas, was delayed,
for some hours…

Still Gore might also have has something to do with it too!

An AGW speech by a snow women is not to be considered as a norm.
Especially under the AGW strict rules and AGW certainty.

They better find another platform to run on, real quick, because I’m here to tell you Americans are not givin’ up their F-150’s, their bacon cheeseburgers, or their guns any time soon. No matter what the word of the week is for “global warming,” almost no one outside of Brooklyn hipsters having a “sensitive” day thinks it’s a “crisis.” The idea of riding in an electric, driverless pod-car while eating tasteless, nutrition-free vegan swill just to feel “righteous” appeals to about one-tenth of one percent of the country.

I keep asking Dems. I know what they’re so damn angry about–what their “problem” is exactly with peace and prosperity approaching an actual boom-time. “But, FAIRNESS!!!” is the cry. They seem to have the same mentality as a kindergartener who just got whaled at dodge-ball.

meanwhile the flooded areas are copping 40c weather again to add to the misery death of cattle and mould problems for them
as for NZ..well its thick forest almost as thick as the greens that wont allow burning or felling some decent firebreaks through those areas of risk, its been a very long time since i saw any fires of note reported there so its well overdue really.
my own area of vic hasnt had a fire for some 20yrs we have acacia that burns green like fury and 6ft+ high phalaris on most verges so high the roos cant be seen unless youre watching the grass for ripples before they jump out to commit suicide under your car.

In theory, perhaps. But the effective IQ of a group of people is not necessarily the mean or even the median. It may be the IQ of the stupidest person in the room. Early man hunted in packs, and to encircle game, everyone had to move at the same speed, that of the slowest person in the pack. That’s why mobs are extremely stupid, and it may apply in some degree to other assemblies as well.

Was using “IQ” as a shorthand not it’s technical statistical meaning. I’m on a tiny keyboard here. The old joke, I had a friend, who moved from Alabama to Georgia and, lowered the IQ of both states.

However to your point yes I agree. In large group there can be seemingly lower level of intellect of some but not all groups, but from my reading on the subject it is more to lowered state of inhibition and less perceived danger to the individual members due to “there is protection in numbers” conditional. Which is why we hunted in family or several family groups.

I have a good lefty friend who is very much like that. We get along by not discussing politics. Which is kind of sad since he gets so emotional about the topic that we can’t have a logical discussion.

I think that is a trait of lefties. Their emotions are right on top of everything else. And they don’t like their worldview challenged. Not at all. They are right and those who don’t agree with them are wrong. That’s their attitude. They have no inclination to question themselves.

It’s hard to argue with a person like that, so I don’t. I allow them to wallow in their own ignorance. I can’t help them. I can’t make them feel good about their situation and about the world because they automatically reject in their mind anything that doesn’t fit their worldview. Things are out of control as far as they are concerned and someone like Obama needs to reign it in.

Anyway, as long as we don’t discuss politics, my lefty friend and I get along great! Dogs and cats can live together.

In Vancouver, B.C. today:
Started to snow at 12:30 PM, with the wind from the south-east.
First of the year.

From oil country in Saskatchewan I am wishing you a prairie winter. We are slowly climbing back up from -35 last week.

Anybody who votes for a politician that claims they can control the weather/climate is a fool.

Are you sure that isn’t “Elsa” Klobuchar?

We’ve finally found someone who believes the Guardian.

The left wants a cradle to grave Guardian in Chief so they can stay in their safe houses. I think the Guardian cleverly exploited the word for its caretaker meaning. En français guardien is used for kindergarten teacher, zookeeper, and herdsman (guardien de troupeau)!

People in the US Pacific Northwest don’t have a clue about winter driving. Who can forget Portland, Oregon?

When it’s that slippery you either use studded tires or stay put. They are the only thing that works on solid ice.

Even those only work as long as you drive slowly and carefully.

That reminds me of sitting in a restaurant in Lansing, Michigan during a winter storm in the 70s. The street next to the window was a hill. I watched car after car come down that hill into the cars at the bottom. Even saw two police cars join them. It was hilarious. Fortunately no injuries to people.

There are very few “Honest” Politicians , so all that one can do is to find one, who’s interests are similar to your own.

Perhaps we need a “School” for budding politicians, where such old fashion
ideas as honesty and a desire to actually improve tings for those who voted for them.
Come to think of it the nearest we have is Miltary Service, about 3 years of it. I.

Sounds a bit like ” Starship Troopers”.

She claims “the science” is behind her. LOL. She wouldn’t know science if it bit her in her snow-covered frozen patootie.

She’s probably right about the science being behind her.
She left the science behind a long, long time ago.
