Climate Change -- conspiracy theory or is it time we all drive a Prius?

How much do you pay?

Pretend it's a dude ranch and you pay me.

I'll work you until you vomit.

Don't try to fool us Drich. You're just trying to find out if he pays enough that you could pay a kid to do it and keep the rest for yourself while you sit at home under a blanket watching sports.

Or maybe that's what I would do.

Pretend I give a damn about your ignorance.

The first day, we can get you on a gentle horse so you don't fall off.

The second day, you can clean that specific horse stall.

When you leave to go back home to your mommy, you'll more than likely be a conservative.

London-based company, Deep Green, is placing its small data centers under swimming pools The data center gets the cooling it requires, and the pool is heated at a fraction of the cost.

Deep Green submerges its computers in mineral oil inside a washing machine-sized box. The “digital boiler” is then installed under the pool. The hardware heats the mineral oil, which is then pumped into a heat exchanger to warm the pool.

The process can heat the pool water to 86 degrees Fahrenheit about 60% of the time, which saves thousands of dollars in heating costs.

If you're making more heat, might as well use it for something useful.

Just an extension of co-generation. And yes, a good idea.

"The process can heat the pool water to 86 degrees Fahrenheit about 60% of the time, which saves thousands of dollars in heating costs."

That is a completely meaningless statement. Without the context of the size of pool and the outside temperature and the R factor of the blanket (if any) etc. etc. the calculation can't be made. Which also means you don't know the savings if you don't know the energy saved and the cost of that energy per BTU. Must have been the companies hype to sell stock.

Get yourself a plane ticket, and go investigate if you're concerned.

Do not use fossil fuel ever again or Greta will teach you a lesson by gluing herself to the road.

You Will Obey: Global Climate Protest to Demand End for Fossil Fuels

15 Sep 2023

Roads will be blocked, cities shut down, airports targeted, marches begun and chanting, lots of chanting, will combine Friday as climate protesters around the world rally to demand an immediate end to fossil fuel use.

That’s the plan, anyway, with the so-called Global Climate Strike 2023 destined to last through the weekend and end late Sunday.

"Do you regret the gluing?"

"...things are fairly critical."


Pretty funny stuff.

WATCH: Environmental activists glue their hands and FACES to the road

Another protester had glued the side of his head to the payment in a similar fashion. The man was surprisingly calm as he described exactly what was happening. He pointed out that, in order for them to free them, he will have to cut off a large section of his hair from the pavement.

"My face was totally glued, but now I've worked most of that off, but the hair is still stuck. So, with these scissors, I'm just trying to cut the hair," he said.

"Do you regret the gluing?" the man was asked.

He responded, "Yeah, it's not one of my better moods, yes. But it was to sort of make a statement that things are fairly critical."
