demonstrating that past warming events were sufficient to melt the ice and support a tundra ecosystem
BUT!
if current warming trends continue, the complete melting of Greenland’s ice sheet could contribute to a sea-level rise of approximately 23 feet over the next few centuries.
Inquiring minds want to know - what caused the previous warming period, if not man-made CO2? Nevermind.
The research serves as a stark warning about the potential consequences of human-caused climate change.

It wasn't as rocky or volcanic as Iceland. It was warmer. They've documented the small Viking settlement in Canada and analysis of the debris dumps showed a cooling overtime that made food less and less accessible and thus unsustainable.
[News With Views] How could I make such a statement? Because it’s true. How many legal Democrat (and even "independent") voters have ever read the Communist Manifesto? Have even taken the time to read the Ten Planks of the Communist Manifesto?
For decades millions of foolish Americans have jumped on the garbage truck called socialism having no real understanding socialism is the major stepping stone towards communism. Socialism, dictionary: 1. Any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods. 2. The intermediate phase of social development between capitalism and communism in Marxist theory in which the state has control of the means of production. 3. Any left-wing ideology, government regulations, or policies promoting a welfare state, nationalisation, etc.
"The trouble with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.’" Margaret Thatcher who was the first female PM of Britain from 1979-90. Thatcher was known as "The Iron Lady" because she was tough, didn’t "walk back" and refused to compromise with the corrupt.
Progressives are full blown Marxists. Oh, they might huff and puff and say that’s not true but well-crafted Soviet style brain washing indoctrination methods were slowly inculcated using America’s schools even before I was born. By the time impressionable (and sometimes rebellious) young Americans got out of high school or colleges, they believe America is a democracy which it is not. That capitalism is evil and stomps on the down trodden. Socialism is heaven for everyone!
Over the past three decades I’ve educated myself on what I either wasn’t taught in civics classes or have simply forgotten being I’m now 75. One thing that has never wavered in my mind is the miracle of the birthing of this constitutional republic, capitalism and while I didn’t know all the finer intricacies of brain washing, I’ve always known socialism and communism are a deadly poison.

Yep, and save for SMOD, I don't see anything stopping it.

Not paid advertisement. Hillsdale college has a wonderful course on Liberalism. It shows the lefts slant into socialism and its a fairly honest history. Last but not least, its free. It is well worth the time. They also have one that will be out next week on Marxism, socialism, and communism.

I'm afraid the average Democrat voter doesn't have a clue what their party leaders want. Average Democrat voters are not communists, they're idiots. They're ignorant as pigs at a trough, dumb as pigeons, dumb as dirt. They watch the so-called news on TV so all they know is Orange Man bad.

[American Thinker] There is a Cheat Machine out there.
It worked in the 2020 general election and it's no doubt gearing up again for another run. The only question is, will it work twice?
Four years ago, after the results of the presidential election finally came in, it was obvious there were problems and inconsistencies with the process. Dead voters, bogus residencies, midnight ballot dumps in crucial swing states that magically propelled one candidate over the other in just a few short hours, 2,000 mules, video evidence of poll workers running ballots through scanners multiple times, etc.
A lot of people took those instances as evidence of massive voter fraud, while a lot of people dismissed them as evidence of the mere anecdotal. Either way, I don't think those matters were given adequate consideration because they were never properly adjudicated, as cases were thrown out by judges across the country. The Supreme Court never involved itself, though I think it should have, because this is far more important than who uses what bathroom, and Attorney General William Barr washed his hands of it about 30 days after the election, hardly enough time to give it its due. (Even a lawyer for your average murder trial gets a year to hash through the evidence and prepare.)
So these instances of irregularity have always bothered me, but because there's really no way to get around the "anecdotal" nature of this, one is left to conspiracy theory, cynicism, or abject despair... which may be the point of the whole thing anyway.
But it disturbed me to the degree that I wanted to find some sort of clearinghouse for the whole matter. Where could one go to find data revealing what actually happened four years ago? Where could one find an aggregate collection of data uncontaminated with opinion, bias, or any other point of view apt to skew an average citizen's quest for accuracy? And after some thought and rumination, I found a place I’d not immediately considered before, a place that just might give me some valid information and a little peace of mind.

Former House Speaker McCarthy: Barack Obama Secretly Running Kamala's Campaign-Obama V4.0
"You’re getting the Obamas shifting from running the White House to now running this campaign.
Harris also hired Plouffe — Obama’s campaign manager in 2008...Harris has tapped Stephanie Cutter, who worked as deputy campaign manager for Obama’s 2012 re-election, as her campaign’s senior adviser for strategy messaging."

Tim Walz claimed as coach he won a state championship in football. He failed to mention it was the 9th grade team and he was fired shortly after because of a DUI.

"Uneasy the heads we anoint,
For the party is never the point,
But as long as you patsies
Keep punching those 'nazis,'
You won't put our nose out of joint."
No, Herb, not that nose. Just the usual "something for everybody" gesture.
[Refuge] This is the simple albeit massive question that even President Trump himself doesn’t spend time thinking about. Melania does.
♦ To stop him in 2016, the FBI and DOJ ran a comprehensive surveillance operation against his campaign. The same people manufactured a completely fabricated case of Trump colluding with Russia. Have you forgotten?
♦ To stop him in 2017, the DOJ and Congress ran a comprehensive Special Counsel operation against his presidency. The justification of the SC operation was to prove a completely fabricated case of Trump colluding with Russia. The real reason for the SC operation was to cover up the FBI and DOJ completely fabricating the case of Trump colluding with Russia. Have you forgotten?
♦ To stop him in 2019, congress and the intelligence apparatus (Mary McCord and Michael Atkinson) manufactured an impeachment hoax using Ukraine, a fabricated DoD plant on the National Security Council (Vindman), the CIA (Ciaramella) and the Intelligence Community Inspector General (Attkinson). Have you forgotten?
♦ To stop him in 2020, the U.S. Intelligence Community, working through the U.S. CDC, seeded a global pandemic and quickly manufactured an election result using mail-in ballots to manufacture 81 million votes for a completely controlled candidate with dementia. Have you forgotten?
♦ To stop him in 2022, Joe Biden (through AG Garland) appointed a special prosecutor (smith) to investigate, indict and convict him. Have you forgotten?
♦ To stop him in 2023, the FBI and DOJ raided his home. Indicted him under claims of "national security," then began to use Lawfare in the court system against him. Have you forgotten?
♦ To stop him in 2024, the U.S. Secret Service permitted a 20-year-old with a backpack, range finder, drone and long rifle, to walk into a Trump rally, set up position on a rooftop next to the USSS operating team, and fire eight shots at less than 150 yards at President Trump’s head, wounding his ear. Have you forgotten?
[GreyDynamics] In August 2023, around 100 US Marines from the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit deployed to Bahrain [source]. These Marines are on standby to escort merchant shipping through the Straits of Hormuz at a given notice. The object of their threat is fairly clear. In July, Iran seized a Tanzanian-flagged tanker ship which it claimed was potentially involved in smuggling unspecified illicit goods [source]. The proximity to the US 5th Fleet in Bahrain and the potential introduction of Marines on merchant shipping raises the prospect of prolonged tensions in the Gulf. In this report, we leverage geospatial intelligence to examine the extent of Iranian naval capabilities. We also examine Iran’s air warfare capability. Finally, we utilize Sentinel-1 SAR imagery to collate possible locations of Iranian coastal defence batteries in order to assess their potential role in the event of hostilities.
Key Judgement 1: It is highly unlikely that Iran is hardening its airbases in order to blunt the impact of US air dominance in a future war.
Key Judgement 2: It is likely that the Iranian Navy will pursue attacks on civilian shipping with light attack craft and submarines over a conventional confrontation with US and allied navies.
Key Judgement 3: It is highly likely that Iran would heavily rely on its missile deterrence capability in the absence of sufficient air or naval power, increasing the threat to civilian energy infrastructure.

Pretty good breakdown actually. Everything that the assessment says Iran did they did in the 1980s to fuck up shipping traffic in the Gulf. So far Iran has not shown any real change in that strategy.
The interesting wrinkle is the hovercraft. If I was Iran, I would use them 24-36 hours before any major action to land on small islands, set up radar and SAM sites along with any portable anti-ship missiles. When shit kicked off, I would ambush any (and I mean ANY) shipping or air traffic trying to get in or out of the Gulf.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
