Getting waterbaby off to a good start! Bravo! When I worked as a Water Safety Instructor one summer I was amazed at how many kids raised by overprotective parents weren't acclimated to the water, and by the time they were six or seven were downright scared of it.Canada Day, so much to be thankful for ...View attachment 630908View attachment 630909View attachment 630910View attachment 630911
Not in the slightest. My issue is with people apparently purporting that CO2 emissions and other greenhouse gases have nothing to do with the climate change issue at hand and further implying some grand conspiracy is at play.Hhmm, is the thought of a magnetic flip that upsetting?
I've heard it said that the satellite lenses see a greener earth due to the spectrum shift caused by carbon and atmospheric pollution.Earth is at its greenest since satellite image capture - where's the fertilizer coming from?
No, but I'm suggesting it could be influencing the perception of photosynthesis intensity from orbital altitudes. Not my theory. I'm just the messenger.colour-shift does not change the chemistry of photosynthesis, does it?
Really??Human nature is not a 'conspiracy' - I have never used the term.
But, we must DO something. The PEOPLE expect us to DO something. We can't tell them TRUTH.
Tell them CO2 ..... that will keep their minds and $$$$s off track.
And why do some have so much trouble accepting the fact that human driven pollution using the likes of fossil fuels largely since the Industrial revolution is at play? The following might show CO2 but there are other pollutants as well:Why do they never talk about the major climate influencers?
Poor choice of words on my part. I was trying to say that spectrum shift in the atmosphere could be making the intensity of green look greater to a satellite than it truly is at the surface. Why do we see blue sky rather than black space?" .... influencing the perception"
Perception is subjective - the chemistry is not. There's too much 'perception' in life today and not enough empirical observation of the reality. IMO.

When I was in China my hotel had a 15m swimming pool in the basement that wasnt used for swimming. People went there and fooled around but no one actually swam. None of my colleagues could swim and when I went to Quindao by the sea, my translator and driver thought I was some sort of Olympian for swimming in the sea, despite being a tourist resort just before the Olympic events there no one was in the water, but Chinese dont drown.... in this day and age ... swimming should be part of childhood education .. and maintained throughout life, my wife has done Aqua-fitness for years and it has made enormous improvements to her health, fitness and well-being. Next visit I will have a brief reunion with the deep hole - carefully - but will experience the river flow on my carcass, and water's buoyancy on my diminished mass.
'raise with the tide - go with the flow' -- or not.
