Schafberg Mountain, Austria. This picture doesn't do the view justice. It's 1200 meters (3937 feet) nearly straight down. The lake at the base of the mountain (Mondsee) is approximately 4 miles end-to-end.

I guess this is what @Xfinity considers 600Mbps.

What famous author lives here (and is currently home)?

It’s 66 and rainy in Bangor, Maine, for those who were wondering.

Just in from NASA satellites:

- July 2023 was NOT the warmest month on the satellite record... an honor still held by February 2016.

- July 2023 was about as warm as April 1998.

Not that average global temp is meaningful or that we know it to such precision.

Wind & solar are a cheap way to make expensive electricity.

Electricity like healthcare, is a service not a commodity. It must be available 24/7/365.

“Fair weather” doctors who work for free but randomly drop the scalpel & leave mid operation necessitate costly backup.

Here is the record of global temperatures going back 5 million years, as the Earth sank into the Pleistocene Ice Age which began 2.6 million years ago. Note that it is still getting colder over the long term. The previous Ice Age, the Karoo, lasted about 100 million years.

[Patrick Moore @EcoSenseNow]

Now take a look at the past 570 million years, during which there have been 3 Ice Ages. The Silurian Ice Age occurred when CO2 was about 5,500 ppm, compared to today’s nearly 420 ppm. The Karoo Ice Age lasted 100 million years during the Carboniferous &
Permian Periods.

Here is the continuous temperature record with thermometers for the past 364 years from central England. Note that temperature rose from 1659 to 1850 at about the same rate as from 1850 to present. Exponential rate of CO2 rise did not influence rate of temperature rise.

[Patrick Moore @EcoSenseNow]

For all you fanatics who think the climate is getting “hotter”, consider this chart of temperature going back 65 million years. We are now in the Pleistocene Ice Age, the coldest it has been in 250 million years. There was no ice in the Arctic until about 3 million years ago.
