I've traveled too much, spent too many extended periods of time in other parts of the country (including second residences in the south and out west) to not recognize that there is no utopia. However, this stupidity that has been taking place in Albany since January... for the first time this past week I mentioned to Hubby I may be amenable to moving out of state permanently. Only problem is, where? What's "better"? We are not constrained by weather, we can live anywhere half of the year, and somewhere else the other half (or live in four areas by quarters). Right now, family keeps us in place. But, I'm not sure I can take the NYC-takeover of the rest of the state for foolish political ideas.

Only problem is, where? We struggle with the same question. It's why we're considering rural Ireland. I mean...it's in the EU, but it's still got to be better than this, right?

Greybeard Posted June 22, 2019 Posted June 22, 2019 Since the GW debate, I have always believed CO2 lagged temperature change, not the other way around, as GW practitioners belief. I did not know that a group of scientist's have data that shows that CO2 does lag temp. It is buried in this article. https://off-guardian.org/2019/06/21/global-warming-carbon-dioxide-and-the-solar-minimum/ 1

B-Man Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 Thousands protest climate bills at Oregon Capitol. SALEM — Oregonians brought more than 2,000 trucks, tractors and other vehicles to the state Capitol this morning to protest climate bills and other legislation they say will threaten their livelihoods. Trucks circled the Capitol, honking. The Capitol steps, mall and surrounding streets were thick with protesters. Farmers, ranchers, loggers and others whose jobs are dependent on natural resources say the legislation — House Bill 2020, also known as cap and trade — will increase their fuel and energy costs while having a minimal impact on the climate. “We’ve got climate problems to deal with, obviously,” said Mary Hewitt, 19, waving her sign among a group of other young protesters. Hewitt comes from a family of truckers, fishermen and other working-class people. “So many of my peers have come out supporting these bills. They think they’re fighting for the environment, and I get it. But this is not the way to help the earth. Ride a bike to work. Walk more. Recycle. But don’t crush me and my family. We’re people, too.”
