Only one mammal on tiny island supposedly wiped out by climate that has always changed
In a nutshell — this poor little rat lived on a outcrop in the ocean near Papua New Guinea that was 300m long. It’s now gone, and some people blame “climate change”. A thousand tide gauges show the oceans are rising at 1mm a year. We also know the world was much hotter 7,000 years ago, and sea levels rose 125m in the 7,000 years before that. Somehow the rat survived that massive natural shift. Now

Fort Itaipu and Olavo Fontes Revisited
My recent postings on Fort Itaipu has ignited a firestorm of controversy. Well, not exactly.

I suppose that many of you who visit my blog get most of your news from the US "mainstream media," which constantly reports military and propaganda provocations against Russia. Here, Paul Craig Roberts asks the question: “What if the Russians believe us? What if we convince Russia that we are going to attack her?” Well, from extensive reading of non-mainstream media, I have learned that Vladimir Putin is not a monster, and that he plans to attack no one but ISIS in Syria. That is, until NATO completes its anti-nuclear-missile installations in Eastern European countries surrounding Russian …which would put Russia in true danger. So, like the Minute Men at Bunker Hill, Putin won't shoot until he sees the whites of the eyes of those who plan to attack Mother Russia. However, whereas the Minute Men fully expected the arrival of the Red Coats, the US continues to pretend that their illegal planting of anti-nuclear-weapons in Russia's front yard is only defensive.
