The Post-Partisan Emporium

  By   Kenneth Richard   on   28. March 2024 Modern relative sea levels are near the lowest in the last 7,000 years. Two studies, independently published, identify Mid-Holocene sea levels in northern Norway (north of the Arctic circle) as 7 to 9 meters higher than today before declining to the present ( Balascio et al., 2024 ,   Nielsen et al., 2024 ). This region of the Arctic was warm enough to support human settlements and boat harbors during the Medieval Warm Period. As the climate deteriorated into the Little Ice Age cooling centuries after the Medieval warmth, the accompanying sea level fall led to abandoned residences, ships, and harbors. The seas had become to shallow to sail in.

But sea levels in the tropics (for example the Malaysia-Thailand region), unaffected by ice-lo

  Scientists desperate to stop or reverse climate change are dumping chemicals in the ocean and spraying saltwater in the air. What can go wrong? I discuss the short and long term. The Wall Street Journal reports   Scientists Resort to Once-Unthinkable Solutions to Cool the Planet Dumping chemicals in the ocean? Spraying saltwater into clouds? Injecting reflective particles into the sky? Scientists are resorting to once unthinkable techniques to cool the planet because global efforts to check greenhouse gas emissions are failing. These geoengineering approaches were once considered taboo by scientists and regulators who feared that tinkering with the environment could have unintended consequences, but now researchers are receiving taxpayer funds and private investments to get out of the lab and test these methods outdoors.

 Original title! "If You Want To Control People, You Have To Control The CO2"   As farmer protests rage across Europe,  Dutch MP Rob Roos  sits down with  The HighWire's Del Bigtree  to discuss the climate scam pushed by radical globalist elites in the Western world to seize more power and control.  "They [elites] go against family values. They go against natural food. They go against freedom - because if you have to buy an electric car. They're almost twice as expensive - and people cannot buy that - it's not about the car - it's about you can't go anywhere and must depend on public transportation," Roos explained.  He said, "It's also digitalization - what we see is the digital identity and central bank digital currency - this is all about a new form of communism."  "If you want to control the people, you have to control the CO2 - because everything we do in life, breathing, living, traveling, eating, and everything we do in

The New York Times somehow casts a Massachusetts couple who spent $7 million on building an oceanfront (second) home as environmental activists. Can't make it up. You’re gonna want to read this one on an empty stomach. Twenty-six times a year, The New York Times shows its commitment to the environment by offering readers “Living Small.” No, Living Small isn’t about the joys and trials of being height-challenged. It’s “a biweekly column exploring what it takes to lead a simpler, more sustainable or more compact life.” Seems the Times defines “sustainable” somewhat broadly, though. Thus today’s   Living Small : Their Cape Cod Home Isn’t Small, but Its Carbon Footprint Is — When I saw that headline, I paused to pull on my Tyvek suit before clicking through. I knew the unintentional irony and hypocrisy were about to get thick. But I had no idea how thick. In 2019, Michael and Jennifer Monteiro dropped $2.6 million on an oceanfront vacation house in Harwich, Massachusetts. Good for them
