“Interesting interview here with Radio Ecoshock. The host has spoken to about a dozen scientists now who agree the current IPCC models are underestimating SLR. In this one the host asks, should we fear a new burst of warming and extreme weather due to record wildfires? I ask atmospheric scientist John C. Lin from Utah. From the UK, Dr. Edward Hanna says unusual air pressure over Greenland can ruin European summers and pump up sea levels. Again IPCC models fail to properly account for increased air pressure of the GIS (blocking conditions) and it’s impact on the Jet Stream, melting & SLR. GIS losing around 250+ billion MT annually and rate increasing.”
“Btw, it looked like the combination of Nora and Ida yesterday with the upper level cyclonic rotation venting off the surface/lower anti clockwise rotation, just enabled the Jet Stream to link up (commingle) with it’s Southern counterpart.”

Dems & Reps are largely responsible for the destruction of the Amazon and the consequent degradation of the Global Ecosystem because they never even tried to prohibit American anything from benefiting from it. In fact, it very probably wouldn’t have happened without financing tied to American entities (e.g. Trump Mc Connell, Schwarzman, etc). Not to mention the clandestine role America played in deposing Dilma (remember Hillary dancing in Brazil?)

The same type of misrepresentation, spin, lying, delays, media propaganda, etc that went into making the AFGAHNISTAN WAR one of the most profitable American undertakings in US history, is going into Big Pesticides\Chemicals extinction of Insects.

This is what insects are up against in their fight for their survival. It’s polished, it comes with seemingly authoritative testimony from University’s with conservative ties, it comes with some truths so as not to alarm suspicion, and it ranks high in search engine results. IT PROVIDES COVER FOR POLITICIANS NOT WANTING TO UPSET CONTRIBUTIONS FROM PESTICIDE MANUFACTURERS.
The article makes no mention of pesticides. It also refers to insects as “creepy crawlies.” It clearly deflects responsibility for the disappearance of insects on to Climate Change which no doubt plays a role.
But, how and what it chose to report on seems to be taken right out of Government\Big Chemical echo chamber in support of Neonicotinoids and Monsanto\Bayer Chemical’s strangle hold on Washington. It even relies on Government data and links to Washington websites.
And like the National Resource Defense Council, which has a strange habit of locating its offices in major financial districts (including wall street), upon further inspection the office of OZY Media is just a hop, skip, and a jump from Nancy Pelosi’s office in the silicon valley region.
So yeah, the article is about insects, but is tinted against them and in favor of the disastrous status quo of wiping insects off the planet. Beware Carlos Watson and Andrew Mentock of OZY Media.
Other developed countries have rid the madness of all the chemicals America sprays and their pollinators are thriving. There is no excuse of Biden propelling insects to their extinction with Pesticides, Herbicides, and Fertilizers. At a time, when they need the help the most America MUST ban this madness. Frailty of mind and depravity of values is no excuse to follow the science:
