I'll go with 367,289 kids. If someone could put up some prize money we could have a contest. But how do we know when someone wins ?? But we do not have to worry about that, ignorance has gone viral.

Peak oil / Oil supply

Peak oil / Oil supply

I've never claimed that everyone was equally ignorant on the topic. Just those that were willing to demonstrably prove it.
Quote from: REHe's almost certainly a Collapse Denier, an obvious idiot. His whole theory is based on the premise that Trumpolini is a strategic genius and inside a decade all the the oil will be smoothly flowing again via new routes.Strikes me as perfectly idiotic theory.
Quote from: REAnybody who buys this idea is a few BTUs short of melting an ice cube.Or alternatively, he would fit right in with peak oilers circa 2000-2005 or so.
Quote from: REI'd hazard the guess his IQ is measured in the negative imaginary irrational numbers.
I would not. Low IQs are not required to be suckered into a theory, be it him, or PhD's who have their own collapse theories that come and go. Guy McPherson being just one example.
People of all IQ's make a decision to BELIEVE. If they have low IQs, they stop there. If they have PhD's, they weave a tale, mixing in facts, history, supposition and "what-ifs", with a hint of "and I've got a PhD" and presto! Dr Colin Campbell...global peak oil...1990. ASPO in Europe with Colin and Ugo. And others. IQ had nothing to do with how they talked themselves into drawing a conclusion so easily known to be a crock.
Quote from: REHe's probably a geologist or oil trader. lol.
RE
Certainly Colin was a geologist, and Ugo something like physical chemistry? McPherson wasn't a geologist either.

War / Israeli Terrorism & Genocide
Last post by RE - Apr 25, 2026, 06:55 AM
Is this what war looks like now?
Trump’s threat on 7 April to commit genocide , or at least large-scale war crimes against a country of 90 million people, shocked the world.
All War is really just State Sponsored Terrorism, but the Israelis have turned it into an Art Form. Civilians are no longer "collateral damage" they ARE the target. Really, the only prior targeting of civilians that matches the scale of Gaza & Lebanon was the vaporization of Hiroshima & Nagasaki by the FSoA at the end of WWII. Maybe the firebombing of Dresden also. Sadly, for the most part the world turns a blind eye to this, while the Palestinians are the ones painted as terrorists by the Western Media. It's beginning to change a little, but how many more innocent children will be blinded and killed by exploding cell phones before it ends?

Last post by K-Dog - Apr 25, 2026, 12:53 AMQuoteRoadmaps for accelerating the transition away from fossil fuels and deforestation.
I want a plastic laminated one. I love maps, always have.
Possibility is a fairer house than prose. But prose is more satisfying when all possibility is gone.
Would you tell people there are roadmaps for a juicy steak. A MAGAnificent juicy one broiled to perfection? That is a question more interesting than a roadmap, even a plastic coated one.

New global panel aims to accelerate move away from fossil fuels
The panel’s formation follows calls by the president of Cop30 in Belém to establish roadmaps for accelerating the transition away from fossil fuels and deforestation.
I am wondering what this Brazileiro Profesor bases his analysis on?
Jannuzzi said there was still time to bring about an energy transition. "Technically, there is no problem. The problem is how to disseminate the information and secure the financing," he said.
No technical problems? How about the necessary build out of the global electrical grid to handle the load? How about the financing? How much will it cost and how will debt saturated economies and consumers pay those costs?
Based partly on the model of the UK's climate change committee, it includes national and sector-level milestones for eliminating fossil fuels in line with scenarios that return global heating to 1.5C by the end of the century.
Last I read on this topic, due to lag time even if all fossil fuel burning were to cease tomorrow, global average temps would continue rising for another 40 years, leaving just 34 years to get it all the way back down to just 1.5C, which it has already exceeded. That's a mighty ambitious goal, considering all they are doing at the moment is jawboning about it.
I will grant however that if half the population dies off due to lack of fertilizer and the survivors all turn Amish, it might be possible. 😒

I mean, how are you going to attract clicks from anyone other than a couple of us and the MIB unless you got all in with COOLER stuff?

Germany unveils strategy for becoming Europe’s strongest military by 2039
Because it worked out so well the last 2 times.
Germany unveils first ever military strategy for Bundeswehr
According to the military strategy, Russia represents "the greatest and most immediate threat for the foreseeable future" to Germany and transatlantic security.
"Russia is laying the groundwork for a military attack on NATO member states." The document then goes on to analyze how the Bundeswehr should respond to potential war scenarios, such as a Russian attack on NATO territory, though the details are classified. "It goes without saying that we cannot make these scenarios public. Otherwise, we might as well add Vladimir Putin to our mailing list," Pistorius said.
What could possibly go wrong? 🙄
