So the mulled wine was fine— but I overdid it with the spiked eggnog. Too much amaretto, despite the warnings of @"BC". Always next year.

You don’t have a clue about what you’re talking about. But that tracks with literally everything else you’ve posted. Anyway: (1) 800 thousand years is...

Not hard to predict the future in this case. More emissions of greenhouse gases, more warming. Climate deniers desperation to find faults is pathetic,...

:up: I really like amaretto, so that may be difficult. But I’ll try. Never heard of that. I’ve made eggnog myself — it’s highly perishable. Unless you...

Best wine for mulling? I just bought a Zinfandel. :chin: Gonna use Courvoisier for the brandy. Also, gonna try my hand at spiked eggnog: amaretto and ...

From a certain point of view, there are no individuals. Where an individual begins and ends is basically arbitrary. Same with a group. There are being...

Yeah, another shocker: just ignore whatever you disagree with. In line with the rest of your juvenile ramblings.

It’s not ending. But keep repeating your news that tells you it doesn’t exist. Much better strategy. Care to trot out Fred Singer next, as a “relevant...

This is what I mean. Otherwise normal adults regress to the intellectual level of maybe an 8 or 9v year old when they hit this topic. And it’s an easy...

No they didn’t. No, it isn’t. Read up on both the article and the goofy Roy Spencer. Both guys are long known climate deniers. Can’t denialists peddle...

Again…You ok? Whatever— I don’t really care. Be well.

Way to project your ignorance. Well done. Please go on telling everyone about the “climate grift.”
December 21, 2023 at 18:23
Ah, so a guy on the internet saying something you don’t like makes for climate science being a “grift.” Got it. I don’t like a lot of what Richard Daw...

Is it “BAY-den” or “BAD-den”? @"Baden" I read it as the latter. But just realized that may be wrong.
