The reptilians are coming?  They never left.

Art's inability to examine the climate change issue objectively has always surprised me given his ability to consider most subjects with an open mind. This will be unpopular here, but yelling "climate-change-denier" is about as silly as yelling "Jesus-denier." I do think it's happening, but to accept all of the ridiculous theories that come along with accepting the premise is silly and seems to be what's happening. I can believe Jesus lived, and not believe he is the son of God. I don't see the same objectivity when it comes to climate-change positions from either side. It's relatively well established that it's happening. It's less well established at what rate. And it's not established at all what it means. I do wish people examined this issue with more skepticism, as there is a lot that is commonly accepted that is simply not true.

Call me what you will.

well said

Think, people.

All that carbon that used to be under the earth's crust is now in the atmosphere. Hundreds of millions of tons.

[CampsieNP]

Scientists also used to think that saturated fat was bad for you.

Smoking helped with digestion too.

I don't think we need to spend any time trying to determine cause, accountability, etc.  We're currently faced with serious conditions and circumstances and we need to focus our energy on doing what we can to maybe lessen it, and how to best survive and thrive.  I don't care what caused the changes, the changes are here.  Let's deal with them.

He got published in QST?  Wow.  That's actually pretty impressive.

[Herbn-Legend]

Watz  that sound in the background? Goatz?

[trostol]

How trippy that must have been to have Russian and American HAMs communicating to each other during the Cold War. Maybe Art should do a Trippiest Ham Story line. He'd dig it, we'd dig it. Also he should announce it a week of time so HAMs can put the word out about it.

Anybody else watching the meteor shower? Im in Toronto Canada and even with the city glare,
you can see the smoke trail behind them. Really neat watching this with the ear buds in. Said to peak
