@basilthegreat If climate change had any effect on migration it would be on emigration away from this wet, cold and dark country and not immigration.

The State always wins. It will collect about £30 million in stamp duty on that transaction

[Ivan Denis Ovich @ToSiberia]

Ouch. That will hurt the portfolios of Pelosi, senators and other Congress peeps

@eugyppius1 Maybe something from Anarchonomicon’s @FromKulak banned book list

It’s capital destruction. People don’t realise the amount of work and capital that has been deployed over generations to generate arable land. As long as it’s profitable and producing a cash flow it’s insane to abolish it.

Once the farmland is gone, it’s gone. It never returns. We lose our countryside and food supply at our own peril. No Farmers, No Food.

Unexpected by whom?

[Dan Cohen @dancohen3000]

Now that our government and media say Al-Qaeda is good, do we get our civil liberties they stripped away to prevent terrorist attacks back?
Will they repeal the Patriot Act and stop collecting our phone records and wiretapping our calls?
Will TSA agents stop forcing mothers to pour out their pumped breast milk?
Do they still need to take images of our genitals and expose us to radiation with the creepily-named Rapiscan machines?
Will they stop confiscating my toothpaste? Will DHS revert back into its component 22 federal departments and agencies?
Do I still need to follow the “if you see something, say something” rule?

North Korea is Starmer’s model

Farmer Andrew Wright completely debunks the cow methane emissions narrative…

“The biggest lie in the world right now is that cows are killing the planet. At the core of that lie is how methane is calculated.”

A must watch.

[Annabel Denham @AnnabelDenham1]

We should end this practice of naming storms, which was only introduced 9 years ago. It gives the false impression we live somewhere dangerous, encouraging excessive caution, when in fact our climate is remarkably benign.

[Ivan Denis Ovich @ToSiberia]

@Will_Tanner_1 Very interesting. Is there a book you would recommend describing this in more detail?

[UNN @UnityNewsNet]

Wait a second.

Something wrong here.

All the adverts for 'assisted dying' are white people.

Where have all the mixed race and African families gone who appear in the majority of adverts in the UK?

Hi there, Deborah. 👋

Do you like facts?

I hope so, because I do and a whole lot are coming your way right now. 🫵

Time for an education. 🫴📚

Believe it or not, floods are not new. Indeed, they have occurred for at least all of human history and probably before that. Floods occurred long before your daddy got the hots for mommy one night. History didn't begin the year you were born.

It turns out, Spain has a long history of severe flooding dating back to the Middle Ages. 🇪🇸

This is especially true in València, which lies flat on an alluvial plain along the Túria riverbed, which makes it a particularly susceptible river to flooding. 🌊

In fact, between 1321 and 1949 AD, there were at least 34 catastrophic floods in Valencia, 19 of which were “extraordinary” (e.g., Barriendos & Rodrigo, 2006). On page 12 (pdf), you'll see that in Figure 7, there has been no detectable increase in flooding in Valencia since the 14th century. There was an unusually high number of floods between the 1570s and 1680s. How did that happen with pre-industrial levels of CO₂?

Whoops, greenhouse gas emissions don't 'splain that now, do they?

Here's the peer-reviewed journal article on that, give the link a little click-sy. Happy reading, 🫳

Then, of course, there was the October 14, 1957 flood, when 50 centimeters (almost 20 inches) of rain fell on the Valencia metropolitan area over the course of 48 hours. Water came gushing down the Túria River and inundated the city, claiming at least 81 lives in its path.

This article provides a nice summary of that event. I'll drop a link to that, too, 🫳
🔗https://t.co/BxGKHTD2qP

For a little comparison between 1957 and 2024, let's refresh ourselves with the stats:

🌧️ October 13-14, 1957: 50.0 cm (19.7 in.)
🌧️ October 29, 2024: 34.3 cm (13.5 in.)

Whoops. 🥴

The rainfall was greater 67 years and 108 ppm LOWER atmospheric CO₂ levels ago.

Whheird.

That doesn't sound like climate-fueled rainfall to me. Back to the drawing board. ✍️

Now, following the 1957 flood, city planners rerouted the river south of Valencia.

While this fix was successful, instead of adopting and enforcing stricter zoning codes, elected officials and urban planners sat back while developers constructed more buildings around the new flood channel, placing more people in harm's way.

The flooding we observed last Tuesday wasn't caused by the climate crisis. Rather, it was poor city planning.

I hope you found this lesson informative. 😌
