Yes, precisely like that. He makes a simple, objective claim that a specific formula used in the models is used incorrectly, and the self proclaimed "skeptics" who see themselves as the arbiters of science can make no…
No. Air is a fluid. Like all fluids, it exerts pressure equally in all directions. A pneumatic tire is not simply a shock absorber, nor does it need to deform for its internal pressure to change the ground pressure. It…
You can say that if you like, but I tend to err on the side of scientific evidence. Even the hysterians most scary claims merely suggest that we "are headed for" ocean PH levels that are "unheard of in 25 million…
Look at the study, not just the summary. What does "preindustrial levels" mean? Preindustrial includes over 4 billion years, including years with no life on earth. It includes the absolute highest and absolute lowest…
Which organizations are those? Ones that are funded based on how much hysteria they whip up to justify stealing from people? I don't care about organizations opinions or statements, I care about the math. When the math…
Why are we so concerned about ocean acidification from CO2, when past CO2 levels were far higher than now and all of the shellfish species that currently exist lived back then too? Wouldn't it be a good idea to consider…
But that UN report is based on predictions we know with 100% certainty to be incorrect. That's politics, not science. Science says "learn to do math before telling everyone the world is ending".
>Then you can take your health, security and happiness into your own hands. No, you really can't. If you are white and try to create a self-sufficient rural community you are going to get Waco'ed. But even if that were…
Not when you are using pneumatic tires. That gives you the pressure applied to the air in the tire, not to the ground. The tire pressure determines ground pressure.
No, you either have an incorrectly negative view of the past or don't realize we're talking about developed countries. Hunger was not an issue, and malnutrition was more an issue with the wealthy who could choose to eat…
It isn't just pressure, total weight matters too. 1000 psi is WAY too high. Keeping ground pressure as low as 10 psi is generally the recommendation for heavy equipment, but a person walking might get up as high as 20…
Citation of what? That seeds grow if you plant them? It isn't a crop, it is vegetables. You would hopefully plant things you want to eat, but I do potatoes, carrots, parsnips, turnips (rutabagas if you are american),…
Technology generally does not make them more money. Often technology gets forced on them whether they like it or not because some other farmers adopt it, lowering their costs and thus lowering the price of the already…
Small amounts of it are being done, most farms have been no till for years for example, cover crops are the norm now instead of some weird fringe thing, stuff like that. It is not done to a greater extent for two…
>but it is a significant time investment No, it really isn't. Place organic matter on the ground in fall or early spring. When the last frost has passed, plant seeds through it onto the ground. To do grow enough for a…
The economy as a whole does not matter. It is not a person, it does not have any moral or ethical value. The only people who benefit from "the economy as a whole" growing are people who have positioned themselves as…
Except most people don't do higher-valued labor, we mainly do completely pointless busy work either because someone somewhere thinks there is a chance they can extract a large amount of wealth from having that pointless…
That's simply not true. Low axle weight and low pressure both reduce soil compaction tremendously, to the point where it no longer causes any at all when you get small enough. This is easily measured. A garden tractor…
We already can do all of that, we don't need robots. Most farms have been no till for years now, the idea that fields are plowed is an anachronism. This is more tech wankery, people with a particular technology trying…
For the 30 years where it was one project, the community was split? And now that it has been forked because of outside political issues being forced in, that's the same amount of split as the last 30 years?
This is one of the issues I've noticed that has the biggest disparity between evidence and common belief. We have mainstream reputable people and organizations actively promoting polyunsaturated fats as a "healthy…

I think it says that people are more concerned about being poisoned than they are about a website being slightly more or less crappy than it would otherwise be.
Because all available evidence shows that seed oils, which have only been consumed for 100 years and were previously used for paints, lubricants, water-proofing, etc., are highly correlated with a number of inflammatory…
