IDF uproots 000’s of West Bank olive trees after Palestinian shooting

“When you are attacking a town…you must not cut down trees with your axes. Are trees your enemies, that you should attack them?”
Deuteronomy 20:19
So much for IDF reverence for Torah
Been re-reading Huckleberry Finn, also just finished James, by Perceval Everett.
The episode of the King and the Duke say a lot about Trump and MAGA.
The books teach us about the how evil racism is
@GerardAMorrow I can assure you that they did indeed argue that the Earth was not warming, until that claim was well and truly lost. Then the argument about the LIA was rolled out until it became clear that the rate of warming was accelerating not reducing.
@steveetienne3@robinmonotti Attempt at diversion noted.
You are avoiding my challenge: point to your explanation of the current rapid increase in Earth surface temperatures, an explanation that is scientific, robust and based on evidence
@steveetienne3@robinmonotti No, its is not the same. We have a detailed, coherent case built on a vast array of observations. You just deploy an endless series of quibbles. Where is your explanatory case?
@robinmonotti Seriously, MMCC deniers have a large repertoire of talking points, but where is your detailed, coherent explanation of the current extremely rapid increase in surface temperatures?
@robinmonotti Any and all denial is unacceptable. Scientists accept all influences on climate, once they are established, and we are careful to ascribe the right amount of influence
@KarlLimpert@RobbieScowlz@afneil BBC is owned by licence payers, but has been captured by a handful of right wing managers installed by a right wing government
And this 2015 paper by Feldman et. al. takes ground based observations set 10 years apart which again confirm the role of CO2 in reflecting infra red energy back to the surface https://t.co/e4Mf6PWlZd
This 2024 study by Teixeira, Wilson, & Thrastarson needs to be more widely known. It gives empirical confirmation of the role of CO2 in global warming, using space based measurements. https://t.co/DRUkEQwi6x
This response of a MMCC denier who shows NASA global data on decline in area burned in years 2001-5 and thinks that this shows climate science as a scam.
Forest fires, unfortunately, are increasing in last decade https://t.co/ugk5vIUQWP
@KeillerDon Because most of that global decline is not forest wildfires becoming rarer or milder. It is tropical savannas & grasslands (esp Africa) burning less because of agricultural expansion, land-use intensification & reduced traditional burning.
@robinmonotti Really? Do solar physicists have a view on the vibrational properties of the CO2 molecule that differs from the view of all other physicists? Can you produce one who is prepared to defend their position?
@Clarsonimus Correct until the last sentence. CO2 induced warming is affecting the jet stream, causing it to be more wavy, which causes weather abnormalities, including “blocking”, where weather patterns fail to move on so quickly. See Jennifer Francis’ work
