Yeah but instead of throwing it in the trash you're just walking past it every now and then going "clocks still broken."

If the clock won't get off the wall then I'll console myself by wagging my penis at it.

Lol Bat is so mad. Did I dickslap him too hard in a previous debate? He's babbling nonsense.

tfw when you notice the 12 is missing like in Scarface and the feds now have surveillance of your micropenis

One two many guillotine remarks I guess.

Environmentalists are gonna love this one.

Nuclear-Powered Bitcoin Mining Is Coming to the States

Without the support of OH's outrage about global pollution, the Watchdog that this thread purports to be has been sleeping on the job lately, but even I have been jerked alert by this headline from today's CNN webpage; it's about the possibility of the disruption of the Gulf Stream:-

A Potentially Dire Development For Life On Earth: https://edition.cnn.com/2021/08/06/w...ntl/index.html

If you have any tendency to worry about the environment, then the state of the world's oceans are of particular concern. To mind my there are three reasons for this:-

i) as others have said, we are more familiar with the surface of the moon than we are with the bottoms of the oceans; the ocean is "mysterious and dark", according to Mr. R. Zimmerman, and news of what happens down there is slow to reach us.
ii) the oceans hold a massive, ungovernable momentum. It's one thing to build a sea wall to stop a local tide at the surface. No one can change what water in unimaginable volumes chooses to do below the surface.
iii) how water holds heat. Anyone who has boiled an egg may have noticed that water takes quite a time to boil. Without going into science that I don't understand, it's because:-
Put the other way, just a small rise in water temp implies a lot of stored heat energy, and that is what we have in our oceans today:-

The quotes above are from NOAA: https://www.climate.gov/news-feature...n-heat-content

This graph is from the EPA:-

Average global sea surface temperature 1880-2020

The graph is for surface temp so things should be less extreme in the currents down below, but that is still a huge quantity of heat that the oceans have already absorbed. Read more here if you feel inclined, and be aware that news reports of forest fires and record land temps are taking, ahem, a very superficial look at climate change.

Needed to read that my friend,
Just an odd thing came up on a quiz show last night, as going by the set up of the programme ..no separation of the contestants it had to be maybe a couple of years old..None the less..Question was since 2016 until the present time what is the percentage of lost Wildlife....6%..29% or 58%


the percentage was a whopping 58% of our Wildlife..guessing they are talking UK wildlife creatures....

That was a real shocker to us....

Thanks, Dianne! That was a kind thing to say :thumb:

Yeah, we are probably right now in the midst of a mass extinction event, of the kind that went so badly for the dinosaurs. That's partly why I don't post in this thread that often. Like a magnet needle pointing North, there is only one conclusion to a conversation here: doom and depression. :(

Be honest. Would you condemn ecoterrorists at this point?
