Good, he with others are part of the problem. We seem to have very different view points on what is happening, why, and what should be done. I do enjoy reading some of things you've posted even though do not agree with many of conclusions.

Is not sitting comfortably in a chair a technique. It's called the gateless gate there are many paths to reach it. My taiji shifu, now 99yrs old once remarked " to really fan song, is very difficult" It took many years to understand what he meant, many more to deepen the reality opened by the understanding. Recently I had somebody aske me about the usage of taiji, whether it was real or not. My answer, touching him lightly the arm he bounced out. We both laughed.

to add one ends getting stupid comments like this revealing their true nature instead of a rational discussion, and yet claiming to understand or know whats going on....In the end is it about winning The real problem is not climate change its human population which as the climate changes, it will effect the population. era life expectancy Paleolithic 33 2014 world average[32] 71.5 They don't seem to understand its modern tech that enables longer life for most. As of yet there is no viable alternative for fossil fuels that allow it to be so. one who is very vocal about the "problem" "Gore has been involved with environmental issues since 1976, when as a freshman congressman, he held the "first congressional hearings on the climate change, and co-sponsor[ed] hearings on toxic waste and global warming."[60][61] He continued to speak on the topic throughout the 1980s,[62] and is still prevalent in the environmental community. He was known as one of the Atari Democrats, later called the "Democrats' Greens, politicians who see issues like clean air, clean water and global warming as the key to future victories for their party."[63][212]" " Gore’s mansion, located in the posh Belle Meade area of Nashville, consumes more electricity every month than the average American household uses in an entire year, according to the Nashville Electric Service (NES) . In his documentary, the former Vice President calls on Americans to conserve energy by reducing electricity consumption at home. The average household in America consumes 10,656 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year, according to the Department of Energy. In 2006, Gore devoured nearly 221,000 kWh – more than 20 times the national average." interesting they want others to conserve asking others to conserve or do with out while they enjoy what they ask others to do with out. . Find it amusing. Guess he needs a big house,,,,maybe everyone should have a big house....

of course it could get cold

be better if you and some others were chorent scientists have been posted to support different viewpoints according to some here they'er all shills,,,,,maybe you feel the same oddly enough the scientists that support their and maybe your viewpoints are not.... Climate changes, has changed and will change.

I would say you and some others are the disaster a little old but sums it up very good....

Control of what by whom? Seas were 100ft higher long ago, Co2 was much higher all before human kind appeared on the scene. Who was in control then.? ...

been there, its funny

Nice, A long time ago in the US military. We used to sleep in it. Austrian Alps. Very, very cold. Made the mistake of touching the barrel of my M16. Fingers freezing to it. Needless to say it's something that one only does once.

Whats the back ground of speaker in the clip "voidisyinyang " posted Do you know? Its a little boring reading comments claiming that so, and so is a shill, while all those clips or what ever posted by those who feel so are not with out equal visibility of the back ground of where or who is presenting the information. lets try this is this clip made by shills....are they wrong? in the past was the Co2 level higher, lower or the same as today. Is this a true statement Are they shills? If at one time the Co2 was equal or greater whats the problem with it being so now? If seas were up to 100 feet higher then today, whats the problem with "Sea Level Rise Is Accelerating: 4 Inches Per Decade (or More) by 2100" 4 inches per decade, at one time it was a 100ft higher. which they ?

In yours and rails words, the one who made the clip must be another shil, right?

winter time

more shills and cut and past https://www.climatecentral.org/news/the-last-time-co2-was-this-high-humans-didnt-exist-15938 presently living in a place called the columbia gorge Very, very beautiful and dramatic " Although the river slowly eroded the land over this period of time, the most drastic changes took place at the end of the last Ice Age when the Missoula Floods cut the steep, dramatic walls that exist today, flooding the river as high up as Crown Point.[3] This quick erosion left many layers of volcanic rock exposed."

why is everyone you and some others don't agree with a shill, do you even understand his view point. you talk about cut/past,,,coming from you its very funny....as you like to say. read his book... https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2016/carbon-dioxide-fertilization-greening-earth just more shils as you and some others always point out. .....

a different view of whats going on

Acupuncture went through a similar process on the west coast US back in the 70s. Some of the old time practitioners I knew didn't register for the program even though they were quite skilled they were no longer able to practice their craft openly. There are people if one reads the article familiar with qi gong who will sit on the board. Right now as I understand it, its an exploratory board made to make up and review the rules that would be enforced. Not a fan of the other practices you've written about cashing in on qi gong practices but, being what it is, they may be the ones pushing to have it regulated. Just means that if one is monetizing what ever they do related to health, people will expect the gov to have some type of guide lines to insure public safety. Qi gong, often written about and outlined, can have profound influences on a persons life if they attempt it with out guidance. Even what seems like simple practices depending on level and depth can change a person in ways that they may not understand nor correct if something happens to be wrong or the practice is not suited for them. The problem being of course where does one go to fix something they've messed up....

From the link "His proposal would require those who wish to teach qigong to complete hours of education and pay the state for the privilege of working. Oddly enough, many of these provisions have nothing to do with qigong." It's not just teaching it goes on to include those who are monetizing their practices in other words making them commercial. this happens to be in Oklahoma but many other states do the same things with other types of practices. It bites both ways. many highly skilled practitioners complain about those who are less skilled or even fraudulent, wishing there was some type of regulatory agency. People looking for qi gong work often have no way of understanding or knowing the level or depth of a practitioner's knowledge. On the flip side. For those with high-level skills it takes quite a long of time and very in-depth studies to achieve them. In some cases the requirements block more advanced practitioners of the practices. not due to their skill level but due to they have not fulfilled all the requirements to teach or monetize their practice in a state. I often see this when applying to offer courses in taiji at local colleges. Some almost requireing a teaching degree. What this does, for those in college moving into these fields they go down and get a certificate in whatever field it is. Because of their background in college are then allowed to teach. While those having trained for a long time in their practices do not have the same background because of their practices. In Asia, many top level masters are relatively unknown to those outside their fields teaching in the many parks or private places.

care to post some links that point to this. There is a movement in some states to formalize it, with those practitioners that monetize their practices. In CA acupuncture went through the same process.

The chinese have pillows that are hard as rocks. The modern ones at lest the ones I used were not much better. small story some might find funny... a couple of yrs back me and my friend him ethnic hong kongese, he grew up in the US. We traveled to Beijing each yr to practice with our taiji teacher in one of the many local parks... On the flight there I remarked to him he wasn't really chinese, he insisting he was. A middle aged Chinese woman overhearing us, turned to him and asked him if he was Korean... We both laughed. She said let me feel your head... If one looks at the back of many mainland Chinese heads because of the hardness of the pillows they used at a young age their heads tend to be flattened in the back. She felt his head, and said "your head is not Chinese" she then asked him if he could speak Chinese. Most in HK can speak English and Cantonese. He said he could speak Cantonese. She said "no, I mean Chinese " which most in the mainland speak Mandarin. I told him, "see your not really Chinese" we both had a good laugh. edited: follow up " Flat-backed heads were believed to bring you good luck, making your face and head seem fuller, which was a sign of future prosperity (福相，fu xiang). They were also supposed to be attractive on girls, complementing the hairstyles of past times (Makes you look more balanced if you have a large bun on the back of your head. Ancient Chinese people never cut their hair in their life.). So parents would lie the baby’s head on something hard and tirelessly turn them to face-up position every time they turned their head to the side" https://www.quora.com/Why-are-the-backs-of-Asian-babies-heads-flat

what would you do in this situation
