I think Human-caused climate change and White supremacy *are* linked: They are both distortions of reality being used by radical Leftists as a means of gaining political power.

Dont you guys realize not to talk about variables that can grow exponentially?
Mosher–numbers are just numbers, What isn’t reported is the radical ways the reporting directives have been changed, For instance, any new positive test presumes up to 15 others have been infected by that positive testee. No matter if that initial positive test is of a person actually sick or not, Inflation is the name of the game country wide. Look behind the curtain Mosh rather than blindly believing in relation to this scam (I do agree that there is a virus running around but it ain’t the plague), and also that other scam you so dearly support.
There are some bad tests out there that give ludicrously high levels of false positives. There was one hospital in Florida that was reporting almost 100% positives and in Connecticut one test system gave in excess of 60% false positives (90 of 144).
https://www.msn.com/en-us/Health/medical/state-lab-finds-90-positive-covid-19-test-results-were-false/ar-BB16Yche?ocid=sf
Mosher, surely you must know by now that numbers (like COVID19 numbers) are always THE FIRST THING the marxist-media go after to manipulate, whatever the subject is. So NO numbers from them can ever be trusted, except maybe sports box-scores.
re: “Dont you guys realize not to talk about variables that can grow exponentially?”
You’re turning into an idiot, Mosh.
I would recommend you get some perspective on this, rather than assume the ‘alarmist’ position, always.
Assuming the ‘alarmist’ position doesn’t allow objective identification of the ‘where’ (and ‘why’) this disease is presently showing up, i.e., from Mexico at present.
Did you EVEN look at numbers around Texas on that map/dashboard I supplied?

Side note. Given 2015 state-wide data (the latest I could find):

You’ll pardon me if I find it difficult to listen to someone telling me “not to listen to dumbasses” when the one telling me is talking like one of the ilk he’s criticizing because of his MDS. For example, contradicting himself and citing newspaper articles making claims about data that suit his position when the REST of the time he’s asking for code and work to be shown.
Moreover, here’s you making a prediction on the 25th of June:
“Houston’s Covid-19 outbreak is accelerating at an exponential pace that will swamp the fourth-largest U.S. city’s medical infrastructure by the Independence Day holiday, less than two weeks away, a leading disease specialist warned.”

What really happened? I tracked it:
As of 7/5/2020, 15:15, Available ICU Beds – 1,203
opps. no independence day apocalypse massacre
What about this prediction on July 5:
“In about 20 days you will know more.. maybe 30 days since youngster last longer on vents.
some last 60 days.”
2 days left until 20, what’s happening in Texas?

re: “lets see if cases in texas can pass New york.”
Mosher, BS Artist.
Where BS Artist Mosher? In south Texas along the border states with Mexico?
What are the ‘rates’, oh wise-azz, in Mexico?
Notice, BS Artist Mosher links ONLY to MSM stories and won’t ‘delve’ into specifics of the numbers.
Only bleats ‘Texas’, repeatedly.
I invite anyone interested to take a ‘drive’ around the southern border counties in Texas and look at the stats (cases and fatlaities) owed to Covid-19 … BS Artist Mosher, not so much.

Is this more evidence you don’t even read your own citations before you push them? It was YOUR source article you cited as evidence, so yeah, as far as I’m concerned, it’s you:

Maybe ALL of TX cases will pass the SOLE city of NY, maybe not. Maybe it just depends on that outlier Dallas County alone. Or maybe it depends not on Texas, but on immigrants crossing the border.
What if you made a useful prediction like, “cases in texas WILL pass New york”?
Why don’t you give us something worthwhile instead of generalizing? “Oh look Mr. Exponential says cases are going to go up!” Yeah it’s a pandemic. People are going to get sick. We know that.
You don’t do useful hard numbers well though do you? E.g., what about the massacre you claimed was going to happen on the 4th of July in Houston?
“opps” that didn’t happen. I tracked it.
What about the kids? It’s one more day until 20, and there doesn’t seem to be any children dying:

Yep it sure was:

But NOW it’s okay?
“Too funny.”
“opps”
Regardless, I read the cited .pdf here: https://tinyurl.com/y697wc68
Can you find the text for me that talks about anything like a death panel? I can’t seem to locate it. I also read Eichenwald’s cited article in the “liberal standard of evidence bub” Twitter, which included this from Vasquez:
“‘There is nowhere to put these patients. The whole state of Texas and neighboring states have no ICU beds to spare for us,’ Vazquez said Tuesday afternoon during a video conference call with media.”
Huh? The “whole state of Texas” AND neighboring states??? That just doesn’t make ANY sense. I can see from the dashboard ICU beds are available all across the state. He can send them up here to North Texas, at least anywhere but Dallas County.
I want to know WHY he can’t send them elsewhere, something’s not being said here.
Maybe Mr. Vazquez is like you, an alarmist, or maybe the “journalists” who wrote the article are just progressive hacks, I’m not sure, but that claim is SURELY bogus nonsense.
Regardless, help is on the way, so let me know when those “death panels” (IF it’s even true) get instantiated. Again, from your source article:
“On Sunday, Gov.Abbott announced U.S. Navy teams will go to South Texas to provide medical assistance, including the hospital in Starr County.”
Need some help on climate change.
My background is not technical. I got a degree in Psychology more than half a century ago. Following that, I discovered there was an opening in the Infantry. After that, I’ve been in sales.
I try to read as much as I can about various issues, climate change being one of them. Unless it’s buried in one or another acronym, I have never seen a reference to the following:
A unit of fossil fuel represents biomass preserved under ground. A certain amount of solar energy is necessary to grow the biomass and a portion of that is sequestered in the fossil fuel. So it sits underground for millions of years, not heating anything.
Until it is dug up and burned. The sequestered energy escapes mostly as heat. We see an infinity of another kind of energy devoted to the CO2 which is yielded by the combustion process.
Nowhere have I seen any reference to the newly-released raw heat in to the atmosphere and its effects on the various metrics whose vagaries compel so much attention.
Is this re-found energy considered in the discussions and research? Is it too little to be of concern? Is it too complex to even begin to study?
In the last couple of days, several Fox News hosts have become very defensive when Trump’s surrogates challenge the veracity of the latest polls, including the Fox News Poll.
A couple of days ago Bret Baer bristled when one of Trump’s people challenged the Fox News poll results, and just now Brian Kilmeade, on Fox and Friends, bristled when the White House spokesman again challenged the Fox News poll results.
Then Steve Dusy, another host on Fox and Friends, said the controversy was because President Trump (and others) questioned the fact that the polls did not include the same percentage of Republicans that actually voted in the last two national elections. And he left it at that which I thought was telling. He didn’t deny that Fox News was undersampling Republicans for the Fox News poll.
During the 2016 and 2018 national elections, Republicans represented 33 percent of the vote. When these dishonest pollsters do their polls, they undersample Republicans, with Republicans only representing 20-24 percent of those polled. There is a lot of difference between 20 percent and 33 percent. If you want to skew a poll on way or another, that’s one way to do it. That’s what they did in 2016, and that’s what they are doing now.
Don’t believe anything the Leftwing Media is putting out. Everything they do is geared toward trying to oust President Trump. No lie is too egregious if it accomplishes this goal, as far as the Left is concerned.
I have a small calculation and would like to invite comments:
According to
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41558-020-0815-z
“Record warming at the South Pole during the past three decades”
…the South Pole has experienced a record-high statistically significant warming of 0.61 ± 0.34 °C per decade.
The paper states that the likely reason for this extra warming “caused by increasing sea surface temperatures in the western tropical Pacific”
The global temperature trend over the last 3 decades was likely under 0.2 °C/decade
Antarctica covers about 10% of the Earth surface and I believe for driving he warming there you would need at least a similar source, so I say at least 20% of Earth´s surface must have warmed by this rate (ignoring uncertainties):
x* 80% + 0.61 °C/decade * 20% = 0.2 °C/decade
with x being the maximum possible global warming due to CO2
(and you can make a similar but smaller in numbers argument about the above average warming near the North pole and possibly even the sun being more active in the last 100 years than the centuries before that)
=> x < 0.1 °C/decade
Does this single paper really put such a constraint onto the possible warming from CO2 in the last 3 decades?
