wJust_woW: Sure kitty, many scientists spotted it even years ago , many space agencies as well ,but im not sure why NASA hiding... it affected not only on earth but the solar system .

Sun erupts with 17 flares from a single sunspot, unleashing solar storms toward Earth.
17 storm from March 28 to 31.

NASA and other space agencies monitor solar activity in order to improve solar weather predictions. A powerful flare aimed at Earth, combined with a large CME, could cause problems such as damaging power lines or disabling satellites.

kittybobo34: It did just that, something like 40 of 48 satellites belonging to SpaceX were damaged I heard. Apparently they weren't hardened to EMP

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released its final report Monday. The Frontline explores the significance of the sixth report finally naming “colonialism” as a historical and ongoing driver of the climate crisis.

ghostgeek: The role of colonialism in creating the climate crisis has been a part of the climate justice movement’s narrative for decades. At COP26 last year, Brazilian Indigenous activist Taily Terena opened the Indigenous Peoples Pavilion with these words: “Colonialism caused climate change. Our rights and traditional knowledge are the solution.”

Now, the world’s top scientists are acknowledging that decolonization must be central to the global response to climate change. This has tremendous potential for how world leaders shape future climate policy. Many advocates are worried about false climate solutions that promise to decrease carbon emissions (and may do so) but risk harming people along the way.

So bye bye America and just about everywhere else.

ghostgeek: “What I’d like to see, then, is for countries like the U.S. to create mechanisms where those communities that are negatively impacted have the resources they need to heal their communities,” said Albert, who is Yuchi and Anishinaabe.

And she wants to be clear: colonialism affects us all, not just her Indigenous people who bore the brunt of it. With this clarity, perhaps climate reparations will finally get its day. The IPCC has certainly helped make a case.

Which means, of course, that they want the cash, and they want it NOW!

ghostgeek: I'm beginning to wonder how life has survived on planet earth for billions of years after hearing that you should put sunscreen on dogs.

“It’s actually very important to put sunscreen on dogs, especially those with light skin and white fur or hair,” says Richard Goldstein, DVM, and chief medical officer of the Animal Medical Center in New York City. “A dog’s skin can be damaged by the sun just like our own, so they require the same protection against the development of sunburn and skin cancer.”

Mabye This Whole Climate agenda Thingy There been going On about for years with there Net zero by 2030/ 2050 electric cars The Parris thingy and all that , Is on The rocks Russia and China have Shown Verry little interest in It ,They realize you Can't just get rid of Oil and Gas for Electricty and so forth With In a Few Years its Not Practical
There Made there Intentions Clear What they Think of Putin and Russia and China Is more on Board with them
So Mabye there dream of the Whole World all Running On Solar Pannels and Net Zero Is Falling Apart

ghostgeek: But if people really are concerned about humanity heating the planet until it becomes uninhabitable, there are a number of things they can do themselved to mitigate the problem:

a) They could walk instead of driving ever larger cars.

b) They could stay at home instead instead of taking foreign holidays.

c) They could dump all their consumer electronics.

d) They could eat only what's grown locally.

Of course, none of this will happen so I'm waiting for the day when it starts to get tolerably warm.

ghostgeek: Vampire energy, also called standby power or phantom loads, is power certain electronics and electrical appliances consume even after they are placed in standby mode or switched off. Devices without clocks and dashboards, such as lamps and toasters, do not consume vampire energy. But many “smart” products do; for these devices, energy use comes mainly from adaptors converting AC into DC and circuits that continue to be energized even when a device is “off.”

We also have an abundance of appliances with internal thermostats working around the clock to maintain specific temperatures. Water coolers are one of the biggest culprits. In the past, we’d grab a glass of water from the faucet and throw in some ice. Today, the water cooler is always running (and the water cooler market in the United States has swelled to nearly a billion dollars). These appliances are frequently set at around +3.1°C/37.6℉ for cold and +94°C/201.2℉ for hot water. Both ends of the spectrum require a significant amount of energy.

Although estimates vary, vampire energy consumption can account for as much as 40 percent of a building’s energy use and associated monthly electricity bill. These figures seemed staggering to me, so I conducted a test. Because it’s not enough to turn things off, I went around and unplugged everything in my house that is not in regular use, including electric heaters, multiple candle warmers, and several abandoned surge protectors and charge stations, among various other household appliances.

My electricity bill dropped by $38 the next month and $30 the month after, shaving about a third off what I typically paid. While that is impressive, my tiny home is just a blip on the map. Studies from the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) have found that more than 100 billion kilowatt-hours are wasted every year because of vampire energy, “costing American consumers over $19 billion—about $165 per US household on average—and 50 large (500-megawatt) power plants’ worth of electricity.”
