JOHN CUSACK: ‘WE HAVE 10 TO 12 YEARS’ TO SAVE THE PLANET FROM CLIMATE, CAPITALISM
Grabie News ^ | 18 Jan 2020 | Tom Eliot

Posted on 01/19/2020 10:17:01 AM PST by Rummyfan

Actor John Cusack introducing Bernie Sanders in Exeter, N.H. this afternoon:

CUSACK: "The billionaires are getting nervous and all the corporate media is — they hate us, they don’t hate us, they're confused. And it seems like every conceivable power structure on earth is trying to kill or derail our movement, but we’re still here.

“We know this form of capitalism takes and takes; it takes whatever, whenever, however it wants. It’ll take our lives, it’ll take our labor, our spirit, our air and water, even our earth.

“And Bernie respects us enough to tell the truth, the hard truth: We have a ten to twelve year window to radically transform our energy systems, or climate change, predatory capitalism, and endless war economies will rob us of the right to any future at all.

“And as we can see literally every day, the house is on fire. But as Bernie tells us, this is no time for despair, it's no time for anything but action. Because if we stand together, with him, the future is still indeed unwritten. And there’s nothing more powerful than a movement whose time has come. We have never had a movement candidate this close to power with a revolutionary movement he’s led and built, ready-to-go, all the way to change the country and help heal the world.

“With people of every race, creed, gender, everybody stands together in solidarity with all of us whose labor powers this economy, stop the profiteering and tell the billionaires and the corporate tyrannies that it's time to start treating all human beings with respect and dignity."

‘Most of you spent less time in school than Greta Thunberg’

- Ricky Gervais

....

His Golden Globe monologue was a joy to watch! Had all of those Hollyweird types squirming in their seats!

Just in case anybody missed Ricky Gervais’ GG monologue, here it is:

They truly believe that under a Communist Regime they would be so much more equal than us squalid reprobates when in fact they would be amongst the first to be shipped to the vaporization chambers.

Stupid Meat Puppet.
He should take Rickey Gervais advise.

Not before they are exploited as useful idiot’s of the state.

Why do we need to destroy capitalism to fight global warming?

How can capitalism continue without fossil fuels that the socialists want to ban? Windmills? Solar powered planes, trains, and cargo ships? Nuclear? No! Evil, too!

He made a bunch of mindless comedies back in the 80s-90’s that were moderately entertaining.

I wonder what socialist country produced his movies and paid him his multi-million dollar salaries. Cuba? Venezuela? North Korea?

John Cusack hasn’t made a “good movie” in 10-12 years?

Apparently, he's burning through his money. Had to sell his beachfront mansion in Malibu a couple years back. It's getting tough to hang out with his uber liberal Hollywood buddies who are still making money, so this might be his way to stay in their good graces. No wife or kids, so at least he won't burden us with ignorant offspring.

Earth Enters Unknown as Magnetic North Pole Continues Push Toward Russia, Crosses Greenwich Meridian

Earlier this year, US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the British Geological Survey (BGS) were forced to update the World Magnetic Model a year ahead of schedule due to the speed with which the magnetic north pole is shifting out of the Canadian Arctic and toward Russia’s Siberia.

Deep solar minimum on the verge of an historic milestone
wattsupwiththat.com ^ | December 12, 2019 | by Paul Dorian

Solar minimum is a normal part of the 11-year sunspot cycle, but the last one and the current one have been far deeper than most. One of the consequences of a solar minimum is a reduction of solar storms and another is the intensification of cosmic rays. The just ended solar cycle 24 turned out to be one of the weakest in more than a century – continuing a weakening trend that began in the 1980’s – and, if the latest forecasts are correct, the next solar cycle will be the weakest in more than 200 years.

One of the natural impacts of decreasing solar activity is the weakening of the ambient solar wind and its magnetic field which, in turn, allows more and more cosmic rays to penetrate the solar system. Galactic cosmic rays are high-energy particles originating from outside the solar system that can impact the Earth’s atmosphere. Our first line of defense from cosmic rays comes from the sun as its magnetic field and the solar wind combine to create a ‘shield’ that fends off cosmic rays attempting to enter the solar system. The shielding action of the sun is strongest during solar maximum and weakest during solar minimum with the weakening magnetic field and solar wind. The intensity of cosmic rays varies globally by about 15% over a solar cycle because of changes in the strength of the solar wind, which carries a weak magnetic field into the heliosphere, partially shielding Earth from low-energy galactic charged particles.

NEWLY PUBLISHED SCIENTIFIC PAPER TEARS GLOBAL WARMING AND THE IPCC TO SHREDS
Electro verse.net ^ | Dec 11, 2019

Posted on 12/17/2019, 4:54:46 PM by 11th_VA

http://www.freerepublic/com/focus/f-news/3801618/posts

A scientific paper entitled “An Overview of Scientific Debate of Global Warming and Climate Change” has recently come out of the University of Karachi, Pakistan. The paper’s author, Prof. Shamshad Akhtar delves into earth’s natural temperature variations of the past 1000 years, and concludes that any modern warming trend has been hijacked by political & environmental agendas, and that the science (tackled below) has been long-ignored and at times deliberately manipulated.

... Pro human induced global warming scientists exaggerate the contribution of carbon dioxide as a major greenhouse gas in absorbing long wave earth’s radiation. The fact is water vapor is the single largest atmospheric greenhouse gas (2% by volume), Carbon dioxide is second (0.0385% by volume).

Water vapor contributes 95% to the greenhouse effect, all other greenhouse gases combined contribute only 5%. Furthermore, the man-made portion of carbon dioxide contributes only 0.117% to the greenhouse effect.

The IPCC does not consider water vapor a greenhouse gas in its reports.

In addition, water vapor absorbs in a much wider band of long wave radiation (4-8 micrometer and 12-70 micrometer bands), whereas Carbon dioxide absorbs in narrow bands (13-16 micrometer) and ozone absorbs in a much smaller narrow band (9-10 micrometer). Thus, water vapor absorbs in a much wider wave length band, it has the single largest greenhouse effect among all the greenhouse gases.
