Isn't
duplicity a wonderful thing?
Faster
And Faster:
The average global atmospheric CO2 level now stands at 402.59 ppm, up
3.05 ppm from last year. Over the last decade the average increase
per year has been 2.0 ppm, reaching new records each year. The 3 ppm
annual increase is the largest ever recorded. CO2 levels are
increasing faster now than they have in hundreds of thousands of
years. The CO2 we emit today will remain in the atmosphere for tens
of thousands of years, slowly decaying while trapping heat and
causing Earth to warm further. Its lifespan in the oceans is even
longer.
Justice:
If Belgium
bans the Church of Scientology for the fraud it perpetrates on
adherents, will a similar ban on Catholicism follow?
The
People's Choice:
DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, as part of her assignment to make
sure Hillary Clinton gets the nomination, no
matter what the people want, has
decreed that anyone complimenting Bernie Sanders for any reason will
be dropped from her Christmas card list. And barred from events
sponsored by the inappropriately
named Democratic Party.
Correction:
Some speculate that in the future economists will call the last
decade the Longest Depression. Why are they waiting?
Slip/Showing:
Apple is warning that the FBI's demands could easily escalate from
unlocking one iPhone to demanding that Apple turn on iPhone Cameras
and Microphones; your iPhone's camera, for example.
But this suggests that Apple can do that now, even
though they deny it.
Price
Check: An
algal bloom is decimating Chile's floating salmon pens, killing over
23 million fish. Chile is the world's second largest exporter of
salmon. Consider yourself warned.
Simple
Math:
Electronic voting machines offer no advantage over paper ballots
marked and counted by hand except they make fraudulent results far
easier hide. If there is no paper trail back to each voter's ballot,
there can be no credibility to the announced results.
Mirror
Image: If you
are curious about what a Trumped nation would be like, take a long
look at Erdogan's Turkey, where there is no freedom of the press and
the Supreme Court's very existence is threatened for not agreeing
with him.
Maid
Service: Obama
has criticized Europe for not cleaning up the “mess” that Hillary
the US left
behind after overthrowing
Gaddafi.
Either/Or:
The International Energy Agency says that the price of oil has
bottomed, whle Goldman Sachs is warning that prices may go sharply
lower.

Correction: capitalism keeps hitting the same wall repeatedly (market saturation) but capitalists keep denying it...leading us to these long, rolling, perpetual economic downturna which aren't downtunrs at all, just the natural end result of 'more for me' capitalism.
If you're not doing better, tough.
Um, wouldn't be too disturbing but I did it twice in a row on the same word, talk about 'fat fingers'!
[downturn...see not that difficult.]
Start tracking methane with that CO2, and your eyes will really water up.
Anony 7.11 Got a handy site for that?
