boyst Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Why not just eat more fish? Good call. fish isn't that healthy, for one. its not just the fact that there are alternatives to beef and pork that can line up just as well - but grassfed beef is as healthy as chicken and fish. not to mention, the issues getting fish these days is downright scary. parasites, mercury, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was mainly thinking about how much I'd rather opt for some dirty old catfish instead of a bugburger. But I could eat nothing but grass fed beef for the rest of my life and die a happy man.

Tiberius Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 In 2013, researchers studying mosses and microbes growing at the southern end of the Antarctic Peninsula documented unprecedented ecological change over the last 50 years, driven by warming temperatures. Now, the same research group has confirmed that those striking changes in the Antarctic are widespread, occurring all across the Peninsula. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/05/170518140338.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 it's good to have a heightened awareness of doing more than we used to for recycling and implementing catalytic converters.

Chef Jim Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I was at the Presidio in SF on Memorial Day. It's an old army base with some great history attached to it. They had a mural talking about the formation of the SF Bay. It mentioned that the world was covered in ice 22,000 years ago. That is recent history for this planet. What caused those glaciers to retreat before we even arrived? Is global warming real? Hard to say but even if it is it's pretty likely that it's just the cyclical warming and cooling of this planet that has happened for millions and millions of years.

DC Tom Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Liberal Donor Says Trump Breaking Paris Climate Deal Would Be a ‘Traitorous Act of War’ There's nothing to break, because there was no deal, because the Senate never ratified it! Somebody needs to explain that to...everybody. Trump's not "pulling out" of the Paris Accords. The US was never a party to the Paris Accords, because Obama shaking hands with the Chinese Premiere does not a ratification make. Hall, half the **** Trump's pulling is only possible because Obama never did his job properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the idiot democrats will celebrate, not realizing that decision effectively neuters Congress and truly makes the country an authoritarian state. Short term, yes. But after it gets to the SC it SHOULD uphold the constitutionality of requiring the Senate to ratify treaties before they're binding. Assumes, of course, that they don't go looking to "international law" for precedent & stay within this country's laws for guidance. (Would be a lot more comfortable about that were either Kennedy or Ginsburg retired.) Which is STILL one of the biggest "pros" in having the current President. There's a lot better chance of having some checks and balances restored than there was w/ the alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 WHO COULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING? Solar-Powered California Warned to Unplug for August Eclipse. State energy officials are warning residents to click off all lights they don’t need and unplug all electrical appliances when 62 percent of the sun disappears over Los Angeles during a partial solar eclipse that is expected that day. Nobody is warning of blackouts. But then again, nobody knows what will happen. “When the sun goes away, so does the energy that powers our renewable solar panels. If millions of Californians turn off appliances and power strips to unplug from the grid during the eclipse, we can let our hard-working sun take a break,” said Michael Picker, president of the California Public Utilities Commission. Pre-modern societies trembled at unforeseeable eclipses, and in postmodern California it’s pretty much the same story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
