12.08.22 Relentless Global Cooling

The Mauna Loa eruption, and there is one in Indonesia also, are the latest of rapid cooling events of the earth.  These, along with every time Old Faithful in Yellowstone spurts, leak interior heat that goes first into the atmosphere then dissipates into space, forever gone, never retrieved.

 

NEWS:

Scientists this week announced the landmark discovery of the oldest DNA yet discovered on Earth, offering researchers a glimpse into a radically different world from the one we presently inhabit today. 

The international team of scientists said in the paper published on Wednesday in Nature that they had extracted from permafrost "an ancient environmental DNA record describing the rich plant and animal assemblages of the Kap København Formation in North Greenland, dated to around two million years ago."

The genetic fragment "shows an open boreal forest ecosystem with mixed vegetation of poplar, birch and thuja trees, as well as a variety of Arctic and boreal shrubs and herbs," the researchers said. 

The material indicates the Greenland of two million years ago harboring "a warmer climate than today," including with the presence of marine animals.

Me: and earth has been cooling ever since.  Those fucking bastards.  Those filthy scum fucking bastards.

The most privileged class

 As a black, female, lesbian, America hater, Britany Griner is the most privileged class in America. And she is out of Russian prison because of that privilege.  White male US marine stays.
