Sean Penn to direct Warner Bros. movie about a police officer at the Jan. 6 Capitol riot
apnews.com/article/sean-penn-jan-6-movie-fe4cd761733e2f558669b9a8d8612e3f
Expect the MAGA crowd try to stop this movie and deport Sean Penn.
Off topic – remember when our fly neighborhood climate-change denier* used a 7-year old UN paper to imply that climate science has over-estimated future warming? Let’s put aside the fact that warming has accelerated sunce that paper was published (which is to say, the paper was wrong) and that in general, climate models have done a good job SINCE THE 1970s in predicting average atmospheric and ocean surface average temperatures. We are now finding out that models have underestimated the decline in earth’s solar reflectivity:

But without question, our friendly neighborhood denier will be back, trotting out antique research and misleading denialist interpretations.
*He, of course, adjusts his denialism to suit the times – he’s an “I’ve never been a denialist!” denialist.

The earth cooled in 2025. Next stop: ice age.
To slow planetary cooling, open your freezer door as little as possible.
Just answer my previous question: “Does climate change? EVERYDAY! Is the planet’s average temperature going up? Is that actually bad? Prove it?”
What a fascinating article which concurs that the climate and insurance models all have problems. It even cites a couple; while ignoring one of their greatest weaknesses, estimating the impact of clouds on climate. Another article insisting on temperature “tipping points”, while history shows us the major tipping points have the opposite sign. Those would be catastrophic to our modern world.
But our neighborhood climate catastrophist doesn’t understand that even his reference supports the models and their estimates are problematic. Worse even than his naivete is the reliance on industry papers that supports aggressive raising of its rates. ” Climate slips down the agenda, but insurers warn it’s the “risk that amplifies all others” Some UK insurers have made a killing off of climate. Why would they want to strangle that golden goose?
So answer my questions.
Climate: “the weather conditions prevailing in an area in general or over a long period”
Can that change EVERYDAY! ??????
ANSWER THE QUESSTION !!!!
– or be forever known as a joke trying to play comedian
You’re kidding? Right? “Climate: “the weather conditions prevailing in an area in general or over a long period”
Everyday, the weather changes, which in turn changes the averages of each of the climate components over that “long period.” Only the climate catastrophists,illogically focusing on AVERAGE temperature, a single component of climate, would ask the ignorant question: ” Can that change EVERYDAY! ??????” It, AVERAGE temperature, changes with every re-calculation. If it doesn’t it is pure chance, while any or all of the other climate components c/would have changed. Here’s a link to the NOAA data, if you would like to calculate dailies for your own edification: https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/data/global-historical-climatology-network-daily/access/
Here’s what NOAA says:”…nClimGrid-Daily is a gridded dataset from NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) that includes area averages of daily maximum, minimum, and average temperatures…”
Sheesh! Why do climate catastrophists consistently play the ignorant comedian?
You’re giving orders now? You have never successfully answered a challenge to your own propaganda, but insist “So answer my questions.” What a joke.
For those who don’t follow this kind of debating trickery, Corev is using a trick right out of the “fake science” playbook developed by tobacco and coal companies decades ago. The trick here is to pose a bunch of “questions” to shift the burden of proof away from his own weak position. Putting the other guy on the spot makes it look like the other guy is on the defensive, even though, in reality, the other guy has the better argument.
And if the other guy answers every question? Just ask more. Don’t acknowledge that the other guy’s anawers are legitimate. Just keep pretending the other guys argument is the weak one.
Corev is a climat-change denialist. Always has been. He has never entered into a legitimate discussion of climate issues, but instead uses debating tricks to cast doubt on the best science available. That’s who he is.
Yes indeed. You can never disprove that CoRev isn’t a cow waiting to become steaks of the hoof.
When CoRev thankfully disappeared – I was wondering if he were one and the same as Charlie Kirk. Look I lament anybody getting killed but maybe we lost the wrong troll. Hey CoRev – prove me wrong!
Answer me this first – have you stopped beating your wife?
