- NOW THERE GOES A SMART MAN...GDetrailer.....
The National Weather Service is a flat-out liar. Period. No exceptions. Disgusting, felony grade.
I kept a meteorological inspected and approved weather station in Concord CA. From age 8 until age 17 when I moved. The AVERAGE number of summer days that met or exceeded 105F was eleven. And only a handful of days were cooler than 80F.
Today, climate change bells clang when the temperature hits 100F! What do these people think I'm stupid?
A day I'll never forget: July 17, 1971
117F federally certified degrees in Martinez California. Newspapers TV and the federal government documented the temperature. So hot, at 0600 open the door when the sun's rays hit your face it stung.
Shell Oil Co. knew I was heat resistant so they temporarily assigned me to unload a boxcar in full sun. One thousand bags of non-palletized clay base used to make grease. One hundred pound bags.
The only way I could get the minority crew to work was to jump in and work alongside them.
It took 2-days of sweat-drenched gobbling salt tablet work. We sprayed each other with a water hose. Drank a few dozen gallons of water.
I walked through the front door of my house and collapsed on the floor. Later I would wake up and shower with "cold" 80F water.
At around 3:00AM I would gobble down room temperature cans of food then sleep until 0600.
Today the weather service "corrected" ancient records to show that such heat and a lot more never took place. Which places me as a liar.
Today the summers, in REALITY, are a lot cooler there. Overcast and 60F. If the daytime highs hit 85 it's a life-threatening GLOBAL WARMING HEATWAVE.
The NWS can stick all this where the sun doesn't shine.
But it is influecing failed lawyers to make STUPID regulations that will end up being the death of RV's and RV'ing.
GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE is not about climate change, it's about controlling your life. In reality, our nation should be obsessed with digging canals to fend midwest floods into Lake Mead storage to keep the cleanest and cheapest source of energy, hydroelectric, from Hoover dam going strong.
So what I am claiming is the National Weather Service is a politically driven group of liars who assume old-timers who have lived through the era they claim as "normal" was indeed extraordinary. And surely we're all DEAD by now.
When someone lies to me with an in-your-face attitude, I, therefore, cease to believe automatically any rhetoric that follows. Has any so-called government agency advertised for you to go out and plant a tree?
Hell no. What government wants is the CONTROL of mandating all RVs to become illegal or need revising to the point of becoming untenable.
A low-priced quarter-million-dollar RV?
Like the politicians. They live in areas so expensive they automatically become financial racists. Even minority politicians.
It's time for RV'ers to become MILITANT about the right to RV.
And time to plant millions upon millions of trees. I have planted over 300 the last twenty years. How about you?
Whether this warming cycle is human-driven or not things that can be done NOW are ignored. Taxes and control are what they're after.
And yes this is the last I will dwell on this. It is too stupid for any more words. - Gdetrailer,
Too much atmospheric carbon may result in run away global climate change. I believe things are far worse than the least optimistic models.
This is similar to the radiation exposure limits in the 1960ties. The most conservative estimates for safe exposure, ended up being more than 1000 times too high.
How much land does it take to support and feed one person? The best guess is between 5 and 10 acres. But say "goodbye" to meat.
We are losing arable land at the rate of over 100,000 km² (38,610 square miles) per year.
We need to do better. pnichols wrote:

China is right in the X-ring for the next pandemic.
Simply crippling the pharmaceutical chain would depopulate the US by eighty million.
Invest in a retirement property will crops will grow and convert your RV into a crewed turret. A MORTAR MOTORHOME anyone?
Now you see why I avoided this.
David ... as clarification, in no way am I a fan of what the dark side of "depopulation" may mean. What I think we need is a much smaller Earth population going forward through enforced birth control on a world scale ... starting as soon as possible. ;)
In the meantime while the above is taking affect over time - we need a full court press on solar farms, wind farms, ocean wave farms, energy storage reservoirs, natural hydro-electric plants, much more buried grid wiring, better vehicle battery technologies, and if ever possible ... the Holy Grail of earth-bound nuclear fusion.
Total "Bovine Stuff".
The earth's people population would take much less space than you think..
HERE is a good explanation..
"If we stood side by side, about 3 feet apart, 7 billion people would form a line 21 billion feet apart. This is about a 4 million miles long. The distance to the Moon is about 240,000 miles, so we’d go way past the Moon.
Let’s put everyone into a square giving each per a square yard of space. The population is over 7 billion, so we’d need 7 billion square yards which is under 7000 square miles. So we’d all fit into a square that was less than 100 miles by 100 miles. This is about one-fifth of the area of Maine.
Estimates are that there are 15 billion acres on the Earth that are habitable. So there is about 2 acres of land per person."
Now I know that does not address all of the sky is falling "green advocates" concerns about greenhouse gasses killing the earth..
Those are also recycled total Bovine stuff..
The earth is self cleaning and self recycling, we do not and cannot "add" to what there is not.. Neither can we "take away" stuff from the earth.
WE as humans ARE made up of CARBON, we NEED CARBON to live, OUR BODIES USE CARBON in order to live.
Plants USE CARBON to flourish, without they would DIE, plants like trees, flowers, grass take in carbon, they DEPEND on carbon IN THE AIR, without is they would no longer be. Scrub all of the carbon out of the air and not only will the plants die, WE will die to..
Yes, their is carbon "sequestered" deep inside the earth, but if we (us humans) do not release some of that carbon (natural gas and oil), the EARTH WILL EVENTUALLY RELEASE IT as part of it's own natural cycles (earth quakes, volcanos and even natural oil tar pits and so on).
I am not saying that we should go nuts with waste of natural resources, we should use it wisely to our advantage but that we do not have to be overbearing to the point of not "multiplying human population"..
Take a good hard look at China, they have for many years have had forced population limits even down to taking unborn lives.. It didn't work, it will never work.
Nor do we or should be so gosh darn worried about forcing supposed "green" ways of life on people, in most ways the green ways are not so green if you start really breaking down the real science behind it, studying all of potentially harmful processes and chemicals involved in making those supposed "green" ways (not the hyped science by the likes of Gore and friends).
Do some research on what it takes just to make a solar CELL, it is a very similar processes to making any semiconductor. Uses a lot of highly toxic materials, chemicals and energy and creates more left over hazardous waste than what you started out with..

Want a scenario that beats hell out of One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest? Read the Sacramento Union. This is how your hard-earned taxes are to be used for GREEN. Maybe brown political projects. I have to wait three hours at the doctors office because of 18 year old pregnant teens that cannot speak inglis and the doctor's sigh in relief when i explain I speak spanish.

- FWIW regarding a very minor point in the energy consumption discussion: Our refrigerator has a two-drawer freezer section at the bottom, so very little cold air is lost when pulling out either drawer to access the items. After opening the main refrigerator section's single door, what you see is at least one-half of the volume consisting of individual drawers that you have to pull out and reach down into for access to the items, keeping cold air loss at a minimum within each drawer.
But ... the refrigerator was not inexpensive and was built by an Austrian company. Leave it up to Europe to have it all together - since they learned long ago about the long term effects of population levels versus energy (and food and lumber) consumption. I wish there was a fridge that would limit cooling during the on-peak price period.
Peak electrical use is when people are home in the evenings, from 3pm-9pm. Since this is when people are going to be opening the fridge, this is also when you will be losing cold air inside the fridge. Perhaps fridges could be made with some kind of cold reservoir that could be chilled when the electricity was cheap and keep the unit cold when it is expensive?
The idea of access charges is nothing new. My mother used to have to pay for access to city sewer even though her home was on a septic system.
