Do you? The point is, its not the climate, its the population. Reduce the population. Most of whats said to affect it, if true will also be reduced,,, if not technologies will be developed as needed.

In hospitals they have requests made by some patients Sometimes the hospital staff feeling righteous ignore the order, presents a lot of problems for the family and patients. " But I don’t want to go among mad people," Alice remarked. "Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad." "How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice. "You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.” ― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

you would be better off speaking for your self. As noted I've come to terms with death, its always present a friend I await .

Thank you and all members here for your and their service who have served in the military. Not an easy life choice weather voluntary or not no matter the length of time served, branch of service, or MOS. Would like to say thanks to the many here who put up with my rambling. Shout out to "rails" We may disagree on many things. Hope you never make the mistake of thinking I don't respect or appreciate your service during that time. I am sure many here also echo this. Had many mentors in the early yrs just back from nam. Helping to shape the path I would eventually follow.

Worked as an infantry field medic for some 10yrs in the military. People die in training for war, using the machines of war. happens... I remember my fist day in basic training. The drill sergeants were looking up in the air laughing. An airborne unit just started to jump out of their C130 over the drop zone.. Some of the chutes did not open completely, their secondary chutes tangled in the lines also did not deploy. Falling to the ground the chutes trailing behind them. The drill sergeants pointing the sky laughing I would later learn they were called streamers. Don't remember if they died or just got broken up hitting the ground. thinking back on it, they laughed because it wasn't them, but could have been.. many recently back from the vietnam war they had what might be called gallows humor. In the grunt units I served in many of the old timers also had the same type of humor. had once stenciled on my track M577 "tracked vech" "Born to die Trained to kill" reflecting my inner thoughts My plt sgt thought it was funny, as he told me to paint over it... Have worked on people already dead, couldn't stop working on them until a doctor pronounced them dead. Have worked on people who passed in and out of what might be called death Have worked on people who've been dead for awhile, and were later found by their units. When I say worked on I mean when they arrived in a body bag and some one had to unzip the bag so they could be photographed. Lucky me,,,,not I could never reconcile myself with the possibility of working on someone who due to their injuries would never be the same in life, and would not have a good life because of them. Feeling death is death maybe not so good for grunt medic After 10yrs I reconciled myself to death and left the medical corps for another MOS (job) Thinking back on things, had to have a way of separating myself from what was happening, some have told me I'm not to empathetic, maybe so... when I pass road kill I say a small prayer " Amituofo I am no more, nor no less then you. May we meet on the river of life" a little long in the tooth as they say, waiting my own time.... Amituofo I am no more, nor no less then you. May we meet on the river of life"

How should I deal with political discussion? (Daoist perspective)
windwalker replied to Will's topic in Daoist Discussion
an abstract Dont think when they talk about political or social authority, Its meant as casual conversation with people who can not put one in jail or make their life very unpleasant. nice story -
Just call me angel of the morning

go ask alice

I'm sure that any type of behavior can be found if one looks for it. One might question why look for it? Assuming you've been to a doctor in your lifetime,,,is it the way they behaved?
-
A personal choice that hopefully most will never have to make.

Do I need to remind you of history...

did ask him to refute some things, he has yet to reply. maybe you can reply for him...give it a try.....
-
there ya go and I think you should take your meds. its time....you and he are just view points on the net in a discussion in which you both like to cut and past large amounts of data to shift through maybe thinking more is better....when with less iits more. If you both understood what you were posting it should be easy to say it in paragraph or so, so that anyone could understand it. But you don't, you both come up with all others are incorrect "shills" we have the truth. Not buying it.....
-
he and you have posted view points which for some reason you both feel outweigh other view points. he and you might be shills, as you and he like to label others.

It is strange isn't it. https://tylerpaper.com/climate-change-predictions-from-haven-t-held-true/article_89557ddd-2a05-51e3-adf9-d324895dcbd5.html I guess they'er just more shills...as you and some others like to say.... Others are always asking me to read things, including you..how about reading some of this and rebutting it. In a couple of paragraphs In answer to your question never been to alaska, but have trained and lived in areas while in the military that were below zero for most of the time in the winter. Cold enough that if one didn't pay attention the cold would take advantage of this very quickly...not good. Habitats change, people or humankind adapt or die....whats the problem? The main problem is really one of population. More people, more food, more resources needed. The technology that allows for this to happen is based on fossil fuels. Less people, less need or reduced usage of the energy sources currently used. Robotics will solve a lot of the problems for amount of people needed.
