Facebook group is the best comedy. I dont have Fabo but my girlfriend does and shows me the highlights.
As far as new IP owners, congrats, Can I make a suggestion? Get a bunch of the silicone top rings (different colors ideally) for different applications. We have brown for sweet things clear for stocks orange for savory You get the idea. The rings will soak up the odors and make things taste like other things |

Anytime we're about to get into a car, truck, bus, train, plane, ask ourselves: Why am I not going by bike? And go by bike or walk. The second best thing anyone can do as a cyclist is sell all their cars. Fretting over lubes is trivial... riding your bike may even be trivial but it is thousands of magnitudes more effective than fretting the small things of cycling like materials, and liquids and such. Ride your bike. Eat healthy. Collect less crap. Live small. Be happy. The planet and your body will thank you.

I've always felt guilty on long rides about buying bottled water at a gas station and then tossing the bottle in the trash. The depressing truth is putting plastics in a recycling bin doesn't help save the planet, it just makes us feel better.

unfortunately with stories like this in the news, more and more people are fearful of their tap water, and are buying into bottled water more and more, which is not only a plastic waste issue, but a transportation issue, what a waste to transport thousands of gallons of individually packaged water when a pipe comes into every person's home. ugh, not good.

The Truth About Global Warming
The Truth About Global Warming
Published on Oct 21, 2018 Dr. Patrick Michaels, director of the Center for the Study of Science at the Cato Institute, provides insight into the debate over climate change and the political games played to create policy. You can copy the link below into your Google browser to watch a very interesting interview of Dr. Patrick Michaels on the topic of climate change. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fA5sGtj7QKQ I expect that any serious person interested in the truth may find the interview very much worth your time watching.

Also the entire, "teaching the debate" is a method employed to muddy the waters in a lot of issues in which there really is little to no actual debate on. Last edited by ftf; 08-18-2019 at 01:24 PM. |

First, he makes it sound like the climate models being wrong and tuned is some secret the climatologists don't want to disclosed. (he doesn't say it like this, but the tone of his talk is accusatory). Every climate model has discussion papers on historical inaccuracies and the corrections that are being made to better fit the data. This is a very open discusion. Second, the quick chart he uses to show how the climate models predict a much higher temperature increase than observed, may be a tricky misrepresentations. The models usually are working with a high median and low value for greenhouse gas increases which drive the temperature increases. It looks like he is using the highest growth greenhouse estimates and comparing those climate predictions versus observed. Since greenhouse gas increases have been below those estimates, the temperatures will be below. In scientific literature, even earlier models by Hansen from the 80's are not this inaccurate, so I think this is the likely explanation. Third, he admits the climate is warming and about 1/2 is from humans. In some of his writings, he claims this is not a worry because although there are downsides to climate warming, there are also potential upsides. So nothing to see here. He may be right and the climatologist concerned about global warming may be playing with some of the data, but at the very least, he is playing the same game. |

This is wrong, again 97% of doctors think you have stage 3 cancer, please listen to the 3%. As for the rest of the sentence, you either don't understand how science works, which is a constant refinement, or are attempting to intentionally mislead. Last edited by ftf; 08-18-2019 at 04:10 PM. |

all agreed then
Hi all,
It is good to see a somewhat open dialogue taking place wrt the video. I am no expert on climate modelling but found it interesting and perhaps a good point to bring to the thread. One point that I have not heard raised was the importance of sunspot activity on our climate. I believe that we are going into a period of low activity which may be reflected in global cooling.

Where’s all of that dog $h!t going. Oh yeah, landfills in plastic bags. Why is this never an issue? Dogs are not environmentally friendly, as my dog watches...

Actually the best thing a cyclist, and every other person, can do is to vote for political representatives who understand and are willing to act to address the most significant existential threat that homo sapiens have ever encountered. The little decisions we make as individuals are not trivial but they are not going to get our children and grandchildren and those already in harms way out of this.
