Pity poor @"boethius" who thought this could never happen.

You're most welcome.

Imagine away. Scientists are human beings like you and me. Some do scorn, others don't. In any case, to make fun of cretins is legit in my book. That'...

Ukrainian counter-offensive upsets Russian forces near Kharkiv It is in the east that the Ukrainian forces' counter-offensive is proving the most effe...

I liked that. Here's one to match, though I couldn't find the lyrics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiAha2FLxC0

Long list of superhuman qualities you got there. By this token, only God is a scientist. And yet, a lack of humor was not mentioned in your super long...

There's nothing wrong with having some fun. Don't confuse scientists with robots.

They know, I know and you should know that anthropogenic global warming is real. Everything else is a distraction, meant to confuse folks..

That is true as far as you are concerned: you know indeed very little about these things. But others do know much more than you do, because they have ...

Thanks for the cristal ball gazing. Most reassuring, if you believe this kind of stuff.

Any example?

One need not hope in order to undertake, nor succeed in order to persevere. -- William I, Prince of Orange Even if avoiding global warming is now impo...

I am all for it, and lament the lack of US support for the Kyoto protocol. But my interlocutors were expressing concerns that the UN will replace nati...

It is too late to stop global warming. The best we can do at this stage -- after two decades of disinformation by big oil fucked up people like you so...

Oh yeah? You think the UN will take over and make the revolution?

Well, you could stop spreading disinformation.

I am afraid that the UN is unable to deal with climate change, or any other really serious problem. For a while now they have behaved like a headless ...

Actually, yes. There was a massive crowd sourcing of people's concerns prior to defining the sustainable development agenda. See for instance: https:/...

The biggest threat to what exactly? Not sure who you call the globalists. It seems to me that naïve, enthusiastic globalisation was killed by COVID.

No doubt the poor will suffer sooner than the rich. But climate change is evidently happening faster than we can adapt, and it's probably not going to...

Yes, it is. A less rhetorical question would be: cui bono from climate change denial?

There will be humans around in 2200, I agree. The question is: How many? Already scores of youth are opting for not having kids because of CC. BAU is ...

Cui bono from the truth?

Have a look at Pakistan right now. Climate change already kills, and will kill many more. At the hardship menu, we're just nipping off the aperitive r...

The world will not end, but our world of permanent growth will end. That's the point. The belief in progress, in the indefinite growth of science and ...

At this point, I am highly skeptical about anyone who pretends not to be alarmed by climate change. These 'non-alarmed' folks are just trying to ignor...

You might be into something here: narrative envy. But it seems to me that such envy is easily satisfied: there are men's right movements, including pr...

Since Sushi's apparently gone, I did google it out of curiosity. Here is one source: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18258915/ I don't have full text ...

So you are unable or unwilling to provide any evidence for your claim that "There actually is an optimal range for procreation and this optimal range ...

Please quote those experts of yours, then. That notion does not mix well with what I know of genetics, and I believe I know far more than you do.

There is a natural desire between 'races'. This desire is strong enough to beat any apartheid law. That's all I wanted to point out. I also said it ma...

Anecdotal evidence is often all there is, and I find its discarding rather facile, most of times. Beside, there is ample historical evidence that the ...

Even in the antebellum American South, people were having much biracial sex, from what historians can tell. Slave owners were the first one to do so, ...

In my experience, heterosexual males tend to be attracted to females of another ethnicity, while being fearful of, or antagonistic to men from another...

That is true: there is such a thing as near universal xenophobia, and there is also such a thing as a near universal desire or attraction for the exot...

... free themselves from slavery, at last?

Been thinking about this; maybe I was a bit hasty. Xenophobia might be nearly universal, as I pointed out, but xenophobia is not the same thing as rac...

Point well taken. I was being polemical.

It might be useful to remind @"baker" that Ukrainians are Slavs. In fact Ukraine, the region around Kyiv in particular, was historically the cradle of...

I will continue to love free Slavs.

To me, the very term "reverse racism" is in effect racist, in that it assumes that there is a 'normal' or 'regular' type of racism and then there is i...

You evidently don't understand the physics here.

Looks like a pretty good source, thanks.

And why not? You considered Ukraine vanquished from day one of the invasion. And yet, didn't they repel the attack on Kiev? Didn't they bring the Russ...
