(ignore this post – this post is about yet another inexplicably gosh awful unintelligent bureaucratic announcement by a gosh awful weapons dealing bureaucrat during the past few days at huge cost to many – good politicians behaving with ethics, intellect and integrity preferred)

completely irrelevant but am obviously not involved in nor interested by some current absurdly costly bureaucratic nonsense at all

Am passionately politics averse

(10 July 2023 – no one speaks on my behalf – if someone shows up saying “linda said” – um no – inexplicably have more than a few creepy weird corrupt bureaucratic stalkers violating everything imaginable wanting to know what sheeeeeee is doing. Apologies)

The symbiotic connectedness of nature is mesmerising – a forest is not just plants it is an interwoven symphony of creation. 

After spending time in a forest we noticed that different species of birds sound the forest wake up call each morning dependent on the weather forecast (and perhaps some other things) – extraordinary – by simply noticing which species of birds sounded in the forest each morning we effortlessly knew the weather forecast for the day with accuracy. 

Kind of reminded me of French people politely nudging to learn our language if intend to be in this forest for much longer.

(we told you this morning it was going to rain this afternoon etc etc)

Learn to speak our language!

(most critter language goes over our dumb human heads have had several pets that used to humorously attempt to mime things because dumb human (me) didn’t speak very good critter – SETI seems futile if we cannot decipher the language of other sentient species already on this planet – critters are definitely communicating in very sophisticated ways that we often fail to comprehend.

Understanding the critter warnings for natural disasters could be useful – the scientist in me wants to know if birds in their natural environment, that can faultlessly navigate thousands of kilometres and have been on the planet since dinosaurs were around, are able to detect earthquakes before they occur – birds survived but dinosaurs did not.

Given current state of this planet it is possible birds will survive but humanity may not (without assistance) – am remaining optimistic.

Balance and harmony with nature brings great rewards.

“This week Canada passed legislation to ban cosmetic testing on animals and the sale of cosmetics tested on animals.

A total of 44 countries including Israel, European Union, United Kingdom, Australia, South Korea, India, Guatemala, Columbia and several states in Brazil have passed laws banning cosmetic testing on animals. Additionally, 10 states in the US have banned the practice : New York, Virginia, California, Louisiana, New Jersey, Maine, Hawaii, Nevada, Illinois, and Maryland”

In very happy news globally the amount of capital investment flowing into the solar sector (around a billion a day) has been reported to be more than the investment going into coal/oil for the first time ever in 2023

❤️

(love agrivoltaics shade and dual income in farming – turning desert into abundant farmland. Those solar panels could easily power a water pump to pump sea water from the ocean to inland solar powered desalination plants too – drought is so last century)

(30 May 2023 – in a miracles can happen moment “India has announced it will not consider any proposals for new coal plants for the next five years and focus on growing its renewables sector, according to an updated national electricity plan released Wednesday evening. Wow. Huge huge kudos! ❤️)

(5 June 2023 – in more uplifting and heartwarming news “Italy could shut down its coal-fired power stations in 2024, a year earlier than planned, Environment Minister said on Monday. Bellissimo! ❤️)

(8 June 2023 – and China continue to install more renewable energy and get more low emissions vehicles on the road (including electric buses) than the rest of the world combined – and a reported decline in coal use this quarter. An extraordinary effort. Huge kudos! ❤️)

Love and peace

(13 June 2023 – a coal lobbyist actually attempted to state solar panels do not work in high temperatures and is clearly unaware of solar panels frequent use in space – um normal solar panels are built to function from around -40C to +85C) 

(18 June 2023 – In Germany (LEAG and US energy storage manufacturer ESS Tech) are currently installing the worlds largest iron flow battery systems to transform existing coal electricity plants to renewable energy. Great technology! Huge Kudos ❤️)

(3 July 2023 – in very happy news revenue from Australian critical minerals exports are set to be more than thermal coal within just two years. Great!)

And our democratic system of government functions well an ethical figurehead is now and then required (we call it balance of power so no nutty bureaucrat goes rogue – the double scrutiny from people and highly skilled diplomatic ethical figurehead helps keep bureaucrats honest) Statistically during past hundred years countries with democratic monarchies are the most stable, free, safe, happiness index, lowest corruption, strongest economies, highest standard of living countries in the world.

Look forward to being there in person so can yell at me some more xo 

God Bless

(ignore this)

Unfortunately a few bureaucrats falsely inexplicably think that the role of government is to funnel tax payer funds to corporations – devolving government into some form of weird corporate socialism.

Taking money from tax payers and giving it to very large business corporations makes no sense.

Irrelevant but am of the opinion governments role is to have minimal interference in businesses and whilst tax incentives to bolster investment in some sectors are appropriate bureaucratic conduct – tax payer funded corporation subsidies (inexplicably usually to very large corporations – subsidies to redundant coal industry etc) are mostly inappropriate. Absolutely appalling misuse and over spending of tax payer funds by a few bureaucrats in some places.

Government being independent kind of vital and irrelevant but am of the opinion governments role is to provide services to people not corporations. Of the people for the people not of the corporation for the corporation.

An investigation and revamp of some bureaucratic departments seems appropriate given recent costly corrupt bureaucratic disasters in some places – kind of public servants job – and still not a peep nor any real action from a few not awesome bureaucrats.

Amongst many others senior officials at the UN have recently publicly slammed the profiteering during the past few years (including during lockdowns)

Amongst other things instead of a few unfortunate bureaucrats fibbing, “disinformation”, censorship and misuse of public office at huge cost to many perhaps best to facilitate transparency and “guarantee free, open, uncensored public and scientific discourse” for the greater good of all.

Good politicians striving for peace and diplomacy rather than escalation of conflict and weapons deals also ideal.

Wouldn’t it be nice.

Am shutting up now honest. 

(3 July 2023 

Great news (via sky)

“A Federal Judge is barring several federal officials and agencies – including some of Biden’s Cabinet members and White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre – from contacting social media companies in efforts to suppress speech.

Google, Meta and Twitter were all named in the lawsuits.

The injunction, states that the government’s actions “likely violate the Free Speech Clause” and that the court “is not persuaded by Defendants’ arguments,” dealing a significant blow to the White House.

“During the COVID-19 pandemic, a period perhaps best characterized by widespread doubt and uncertainty, the United States Government seems to have assumed a role similar to an Orwellian ‘Ministry of Truth,’” the Federal Judge wrote.

“If the allegations made by Plaintiffs are true, the present case arguably involves the most massive attack against free speech in United States’ history,” the injunction adds.

“The government must abstain from regulating speech when the specific motivating ideology or the perspective of the speaker is the rationale for the restriction.”

‘Freedom of speech and press is the indispensable condition of nearly every other form of freedom.’”

We agree completely – government must abstain from regulating speech (other than ist slurs) period.

Eighteen months on and still no inquiry by a few bureaucrats into pandemic mismanagement (and ways to improve) perhaps also indicates.

)

Am passionately politics averse – not even interested by bureaucratic nonsense a teeny tiny bit. But gosh – politicians behaving with integrity and ethics kind of vital.

Nice to see people with integrity running for political office – keep it positive, clear and simple – and we adore your wife – we are huge fans.




In happy news another coal electricity plant in NSW Australia is permanently closing next week.

One down and four to go 🙂

(12 May 2023 – and in more happy news $600 million has recently been invested by the new owners of Origin Energy to construct a large-scale battery to replace Eraring Coal Electricity Plant. Huge Kudos ❤️)

Faith ❤️

(P.S. our opinion is genuinely completely irrelevant but it is heartening to see people with extraordinary integrity stepping up to run for political office. God bless)

Reportedly citizens went to the effort of writing more than a million letters to the whitehouse – that’s a lot of letters – and petitions with more than four million signatures to not drill willow through pristine natural forested wilderness abundant with wildlife – despite that a few federal bureaucrats approved the willow oil project Monday.

(19 May 2023 – signatures on petitions are now at around ten million and increasing)

Unfortunately a few coal lobby current bureaucrats in Australia similarly unintelligent – reported by others willow will produce around two thousand temporary construction jobs and then around three hundred permanent jobs for the next few decades – any other way could produce around three hundred permanent jobs bureaucrats. That deserved a veto bureaucrat.

And additionally a few federal bureaucrats continue to refuse petitions by many state governors and citizens to boost biofuel production.

Ouch.

Huge hugs

(19 May 2023 – ignore this – unfortunately a few bureaucrats have been fibbing for a week (or longer) – waffle required)

Quotas on biofuels are not required to ensure there will be no food shortages – grain auctions simply always sell to food manufacturers first. Very simple. Biofuels can be produced from algae without farmland (algae grown in weatherproof factories) – no reason for a shortage of anything – and biofuel production provides a guaranteed market for all farmers that often have to destroy unsold grain. Absolute nonsense to suggest otherwise. And a biofuel factory provides more than three hundred permanent jobs.

Biofuels reduce greenhouse emissions, increase supply and lower costs and put money in consumers and farm workers pockets rather than the polluting corrupt freemason shell corps currently making huge profits.

Biofuels are suitable for aviation, maritime and automotive.

And to be reasonable there was around a hundred million tax payer funds allocated for biofuel production this year in a bureaucrats federal budget some of which has already been allocated to converting plastic to fuel and the factory is reportedly currently spewing more toxic gases into the air than most cities (and plastic is not actually a biofuel) – why burn through tax payer funds when simply removing biofuels quotas and adding a sticker to already in place bowsers is all that is required. 

(22 March 2023 – reportedly yesterday the same few federal bureaucrats decided to announce $197 million in tax payer funding for wildfire resilience – as an example “(a county) will receive $10 million in tax payer funds to inspect 1,290 properties for wildfire resilience, clear brush along approximately 23 miles of road and promote wildfire management education” Gosh)

(22 March 2023 – another example by the same few federal bureaucrats “Oak Flat, a 2,200 acre tract of land in Arizona’s Tonto National Forest where members of the Apache Indian tribe have gone to worship and conduct ceremonies for centuries. While the federal government has protected the sacred site since the Eisenhower administration, in 2014, the government transferred the land to a foreign-owned mining company Resolution Copper, which plans to obliterate the site by creating a 1,000-foot crater, due to a large copper deposit 7,000 feet below Oak Flat’s surface. Such a crater will destroy Oak Flat forever”

(24 March 2023 – (ignore this)

That’s like bulldozing Uluru because gold deposits were found underneath it (could never) – and we are in favor of mining copper etc but lots and lots of other places to mine on the planet – during second term that is such a rotten thing to do on so so many levels and how’s the diversity spiel coming fibbing bureaucrat that is at this moment using tax payer funds to argue in court to attempt to have a sacred place protected by government since Eisenhower desecrated for an overseas corporations profit. 

A few fibbing bureaucrats corruptly using public office in 2014 and again currently to attempt to eradicate the history of a race is so appalling it is impossible to describe – every word about bureaucrats towards the bottom of the blog earned by a few bureaucrats – am stunned by the constant fibbing by a very few bureaucrats at huge cost to many)

(30 March 2023 – (amongst other things) same bureaucrat cancelled the Welcome to Country greeting and presentation of a gift by a tribal elder this week. Gosh.

After outcry from tribal leaders and many many other people an apology has finally reportedly been issued and the cancelled Thursdays meeting with the tribal leader (that welcomed Mandela and many others) reinstated.

Some people have learned by heart and can effortlessly recite off the top of their heads to trusted friends more than most people learn in a lifetime.

Any twit can get a PHD dime a dozen and unfortunately a few absurdly deluded form filling fibbing bureaucrats are proof positive of that. Just a thought.

There is more to this universe than we currently have mathematical equations for of that am certain. Am not convinced people instinctively chose a large (copper) deposit as the location for ceremonies accidentally – it is possible removing that copper removes their church – more than that every blade of grass, every pebble, the exact location of every star overhead known by heart and learned by story and song is their church.

Thank you so much for sharing some of those stories with us.

8 May 2023 – am a huge fan of Mr Bean

Reading today that Atkinson has formal training in electrical engineering explains a lot. Genius.

Am a huge fan of non polluting and silent electric buses, taxis, delivery vehicles and golf buggies. The environmental cost of producing that many batteries perhaps worth considering – a car recharged using coal electricity produces more greenhouse emissions than a petrol car – switching off coal the urgent priority. A few bureaucrats pushing the cost onto consumers everyone get a new stove, everyone get a new car is not really bureaucrats job – doing the things consumers cannot do on their own like ceasing tax payer funded coal subsidies is a bureaucrats responsibility.

Meaningless legislation to ban something in a decade is genuinely meaningless and counterproductive and may prevent other green technologies from growing – kind of an an anti-innovation legislation which is theoretically very concerning and a few bureaucrats forcing a monopoly onto consumers in a decade (electric only) is also theoretically concerning (electric cars are an option but cars only produce less than a tenth of global greenhouse emissions not a big ticket item and pushes perhaps unnecessary costs onto consumers). The law of supply and demand, competition (rather than monopolies) and allowing people the freedom to choose for themselves is a beautiful beautiful thing. Encouraging more biofuels (including green hydrogen) keeps the prices down for everyone.

Biofuels are also suitable for maritime, long haul and aeronautical applications.

For decades have heard engineers and environmentalists being very concerned that any innovative new engine designs (especially fuel efficient) were immediately aggressively purchased and patented by fossil fuel freemason Shell corps and then never seen again. Am remembering a good engineer lamenting the patenting (and vanishing) of tyres that never wore out meaning that technology could not be explored further. Maybe a review of patents over the past few decades could find some innovative solutions.

(20 September 2023 – The only thing required to make hydrogen is some solar panels and sea water – abundant, very low cost and stable price hydrogen protects consumers from the fluctuations and huge profits currently being made by destroying all life on earth coal.

Rather than a few absurd bureaucrats everyone get a new car, everyone get a new stove, buy everyone an air conditioner with tax payer funds – a simple only allow sale of steel produced without coal would immediately remove around ten percent of global green house emissions with no negative impact to consumers and huge gains. Significantly increasing coal use fibbing Biden are those electric vehicles manufactured with green steel (made without coal))


(24 September 2023 – this was reported today …. “A new electric vehicle battery factory in Kansas is demanding so much energy that the state is delaying the retirement of a coal plant to make sure the facility has enough power” Uh huh)

(1 September 2023 – Oh dear. Electric vehicles are not only useless after during through a puddle they are spontaneously bursting into flames after being submerged in water during flooding – that’s not necessarily a brilliant design feature. It rains now and then – the ability to cross causeways safely vital.

Reported again yesterday it took firefighters almost an hour to extinguish just one electric car flooded by salt water during extreme weather – hopefully that design flaw is corrected (an ignition kill switch trivial but only partially effective perhaps facilitate filling the entire car with Insta-foam to prevent combustion or better yet extra inflatable tyres or an under carriage air-bag to allow the vehicle to float above flood waters. Perhaps simply the much loved vintage Citroen button that jacks the entire car body up an extra foot or so for stream crossings)

Buying everyone an air conditioner with tax payer funds whilst coal use causes rising sea levels and hundreds of millions of exploding electric cars may be some absurd bureaucrats vision for the future but it is certainly non optimal.

Incidentally electric vehicles recharged using electricity produced from coal produce more greenhouse emissions than fuel powered cars – switching off destroying all life on earth coal use is an urgent priority.

Electric vehicles (especially silent non polluting buses and delivery vans) are certainly a part of the solution but certainly not the only solution for carbon neutral vehicles)

(24 September 2023 – Australia’s first large scale green steel recycling plant is currently being built – melting and recycling steel (including cars) using hydrogen not coal. Very cool)

Incidentally whilst at a mountainous resort decided to determine the maximum velocity of a golf buggy and drove it to the top of the highest steep hill then headed downhill with my foot pressed to the floor, unfortunately the bitumen road turned into smooth concrete at the bottom and when applied the brakes skidded in circles with that horribly loud tyres on concrete sound, very very long skid marks and guests scattering and or clapping and me trying to be invisible whilst apologising to everyone profusely. Am certain I hold the land speed record for golf buggies (and kiddies do not try that at home out of control golf buggies are dangermouse)

Carbon neutral happiness producing electric golf buggies are a great way to duck down to the shops or drop kids at school and seeing a few parked at the local shops this week as we were walking by had a huge feel good factor. 

(the perfect relaxed speed to chat to people along the way lots of how-de-dos looookoooout coming throughs all very civilised and very cool)

(4 September 2023 – someone left this at my favourite sketching spot today. Kudos. It’s still there by the way)

(17 January 2024 – crikey CNN is suggesting climate deniers be censored from social media – climate deniers have the right to express themselves without censorship. Really. Personally wouldn’t run ads for climate deniers but they have the right to express their own opinion)


(4 April 2023 – gosh – apparently in the last few days Biden has inexplicably placed one of the largest Gulf of Mexico oil leases ever on sale – so large even the corrupt freemason shell corps don’t want to buy that much. And in doing so Biden triggered a backlash from other oil producers immediately triggering a further drop in supply and further upward pressure on prices that will hurt consumers. Others mentioned there was no reason for Biden to make such a large region available for oil leases (including his appalling named IRA) Constantly faux spiel one thing whilst actually doing the opposite Biden has presided over the largest profits (and largest tax payer funded subsidies) for corrupt freemason coal/oil corporations in decades at huge cost to many)

(15 June 2023 – Real Science. Real Intellect. Scientific American explained “The Willow Project promises a worse future for Alaska and for Earth. Oil companies cannot be trusted in times of disaster” And we have seen corrupt freemason coal/oil shell corporations price gouging (and disastrous polluting) at huge cost to many again and again.)

(25 July 2023 – yet another example of a fossil fuel pipelines disaster)

(opinions on blog my own)

(12 May 2023 – in yet another astonishingly appalling bureaucratic decision typical freemason Albanese has this week inexplicably approved another large coal mine in Australia – a few hundred jobs and huge huge cost to many. Gosh.

There is no justification for sending people to work in coal mines this century – high risk and shortened lifespan not factoring in the costs and pollution coal mining causes to the broader community.

Amongst other not awesome things why were tax payer funds spent on an ex bureaucrats recent unofficial for their own personal financial gain visit to Australia and amongst other not awesome things why were Australian tax payer funds subsidising that unfortunately blatantly fibbing way way too much ex bureaucrats unofficial and absurd reported visit to Collins Flat Beach.

Irrelevant but funnelling hundreds of billions in tax payer funds unintelligent freemason sleaze Albanese (and a few similar NSW corrupt coal lobby unintelligent delusional freemason bureaucrats) is inappropriate.

And burning coal is obviously the dumbest way imaginable to produce electricity many other options that provide reliable and significantly lower cost electricity to consumers.

As an example during the past few weeks in Australia another coal electricity plant has happily closed and an investment made to build a large scale battery at another coal electricity plant to facilitate its rapid closure – great positive effort by some good corporations and people spending hours of their time pro bono to facilitate ceasing use of destroying all life on earth coal and meanwhile a very few deluded corrupt freemason bureaucrats inexplicably keep corruptly using tax payer funds to corruptly subsidise the coal industry despite around 70% of Australians polling that they would like a rapid cessation of coal use. 

Absolutely mind numbingly delusional and appalling bureaucratic conduct (again). Seriously.)

(7 October 2023 – an example study by Climate Smart Ventures in Singapore and Green Finance & Development Center at FISF Fudan University found that “retiring coal plants early can benefit investors, communities and climate. In particular retiring existing coal electricity plants early and bundling the refinancing with renewable energy investments, the enterprise values would more than triple even in the ‘worst case’, business-as-usual scenario whilst making significant profits. Accelerated phase-down becomes a triple-win opportunity”)

(9 June 2023 – uh huh “Mountains of coal are piled beneath azure skies at the port of Newcastle, Australia. Giant shovels chip away at them, scooping the fuel onto conveyor belts, which whizz it to cargo ships that can be as long as three football pitches. The harbour’s terminals handle 200 million tonnes of the stuff a year, making Newcastle the world’s biggest coal port” the coal yards are mostly automated and employ very few people just a decades long polluting eyesore that negatively impacts tourism and decreases property prices enormously – Newcastle has a breathtakingly beautiful natural environment and most people in the region would like to see the coal yards close)

(1 June 2023 – some other environmentalists expressed it thusly this week “To meet our Paris Targets, Australia needs to achieve a 75% emissions reduction by 2030. The current 0.4% decline in emissions shows we will blow right past this target …. (typical freemason sleaze Albanese) won’t actually meet his absurdly stated 43% reduction in emissions by 2030 until 2080. By that point, they’ll have locked in 3 degrees of warming, destroying our agricultural industry, killing the reef, (billions in damage to businesses and properties), and causing untold levels of human (and critter) suffering” (bits in brackets added by me)

What was the Paris Agreement really about mind numbingly absurdly unintelligent talentless sleazy bureaucrats)

(23 May 2023 – in more happy news another director of a coal corporation has just been sentenced to jail time in Australia for (criminal conduct))

(23 July 2023 – absurd constantly faux spiel one thing whilst actually doing the opposite fibbing Biden again with a few other bureaucrats deceitfully attempting to push carbon capture for coal electricity plants at the G20 yesterday.

Real science carbon capture technology on coal power plants is unfeasible – could have done it decades ago and to this day it is too expensive per kwh produced which means that is deliberately destroying all life on earth. The truth is, switch coal off and in a few millennia when actually invent the mythical cost effective carbon capture device that ensures zero CO2 comes out of the chimney then can switch coal electricity back on. Deliberately did not build the carbon capture units as big as the coal power plant itself (indicator of how much CO2 coal produces) with huge ongoing operating costs that engineers have designed for coal power plants for decades and to this day and coal produces huge pollution in a multitude of ways, early death for almost all coal mine workers – the deceitful corrupt coal industry must be closed. There are a multitude of low cost and reliable ways to produce non polluting electricity without coal that can and must be easily and rapidly deployed. It’s not complicated. 

And constantly fibbing faux spiel Biden again trying to divert attention from his own corruption by immediately announcing a national park the next day – the olde fibbing Biden blame others and falsely implying it was those awful bureaucrats pushing carbon capture – uh huh

)

(24 July 2023

“Hunter Biden would dial in his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, on speakerphone into meetings with his overseas business partners (reportedly around two dozen times), according to testimony expected before Congress this week from Archer”

oh and there’s that too

It actually matters

Am not massively convinced conduct of bureaucrats family members is overly relevant except that in Australia bureaucrats using public office for their own or a relatives business is a very serious crime – jail time territory. Add fibbing Biden blatantly repeatedly corruptly using public office to attempt to avoid criminal convictions for blatantly corrupt family members (and himself) is appalling.

Apparently freemason Biden’s son Hunter Biden (another typical freemason) mismanaged several fossil fuel businesses.

(2 August 2023 – clarification reportedly Archer testified that Hunter Biden was giving the “illusion” of access to Joe Biden by putting him on speaker phone during business meetings and reportedly no mention of business or transactions were made whilst Joe Biden was on speaker phone cos that would be dumb criminal conduct.

(the actual crimes are discussed in off speaker phone dodgy deals) – that bit added by me and not testified to)

)

(23 May 2023 – gosh – reportedly a bureaucrat said this week “There are 40 million people, seven states, and 30 Tribal Nations who rely on the Colorado River Basin for basic services such as drinking water and electricity” Uh huh. (it’s currently almost dry – and how many critters rely on that water source) No snow on the mountains due to global warming means no water downstream. Coal use is the main contributor to global warming (more than half) – coal electricity plants and coal mines also consume extremely large amounts of water to operate – could we switch off coal use please. How much in tax payer funds spent on bombs each year – could we get some mains irrigation to farmers please (engineers have been doing that since Roman times – and a recent around four billion in tax payer funds to provide mains water irrigation to every farm in an Australian state is in my opinion tax payer funds very well spent – permanent drought proofing and huge gains). Just a thought.

Working in the farming sector beats working in a coal mine any time – a few fully operational farms (rather than fallow due to drought) employ significantly more people than a coal mine. All existing farmland being fully operational rather than fallow or further logging equals prosperity.

Thousands of kilometres of fallow drought effected farmland in America and Australia (two of the biggest coal countries) great regional towns turning into ghost towns, global food shortages and the Amazon being burned – or could simply run some bloody mains irrigation pipes. Permanent drought proofing and creating tens of thousands of permanent jobs.

(ignore this) and do not start the blaming others whining that costly sociological environmental disaster or unrepaired bridges happened due to four years of absolutely appalling Rump that is now approaching a solid two decades of costly and blatantly fibbing bureaucratic conduct. Bridges don’t collapse due to four years of no maintenance.

How’s the budget deficit coming bureaucrats – when did the fibbing irresponsible overspending budget blowout start (more than a decade ago) (note the deficit reduced after Medicare was put in place due to the socioeconomic gains it provided – Medicare reduces crime, improves standard of living for all citizens and provides economic gain not drain – but still way way too much overspending prior and after))

(31 July 2023 – an Arizona doctor has warned that people are suffering burns simply falling to ground during extreme heat. Ouch)

Can figure out how to run an oil pipeline for thousands of kilometres – um pumping water to severely drought effected farmland seems a teeny tiny bit more vital than hundreds of billions (approaching trillions) in tax payer funded subsidies to destroying all life on earth coal use by a few mind numbing costly fibbing bureaucrats.

World peace rather than absurd weapons deals would be nice too. But heck.

(14 June 2022 – nyt has this headline “Why US (bureaucrats are currently) paying $1 billion a year to Russias Nuclear Agency – The significant remaining flow of money from the U.S. to Russia stems from a need for cheap enriched uranium — a market that Russia has cornered” On dear. Gosh)

(1 June 2023 – ignore this – gosh “in America a $528 billion plan to clean up 54 million tonnes of radioactive toxic bomb making waste may never be achieved” In Australia absurd bureaucrats a few months ago inexplicably reportedly nominated Kimba in South Australia as the location for nuclear waste disposal (Kimba is amongst our favourite Anime characters (created in Japan)) Absurdly unintelligent bureaucrats agreeing to unpopular costly bureaucrat Biden’s sub deal and choosing that location is absolutely appalling. Repeatedly mind numbingly delusional offensive talentless costly sleazy bureaucratic conduct (more adjectives required) Seriously.

Yesterday again and again road work crews right outside the door.

Absurdly delusional talentless sleazy bureaucrats repeatedly violating ethics and the law is not acceptable nor is that clever, amusing nor require any skill. Legal action from me coming delusional bureaucrats)

(28 May 2023 – Gosh. Reported by others the Biden admin has so far spent $4.7 billion in tax payers funds on private flights for federal bureaucrats. That’s around $47 million a week – not counting any flights by federal bureaucrats on military aircraft (airforce one etc) and not counting funds spent by any state bureaucrats. An astonishing amount of bureaucratic overspending (incidentally that amount is on par with Rumps oft criticised around $9 billion in four years) That’s a huge market for biofuels! Any way a few genuinely delusional fibbing bureaucrats could reduce burning through tax payer funds at huge cost to many. Seriously.

Others have mentioned Biden has grudgingly agreed after months of negotiations to cap spending of tax payer funds at current rate for the next two years during debt ceiling negotiations. Gosh

Mountain Valley Pipeline destructively and unnecessarily cutting a swathe through around a thousand pristine wetlands and streams at huge cost to many – again and again gosh awful mind numbingly talentless fibbing bureaucrat. Gosh.

And of course leave it to the last minute so not approving would be catastrophic. Uh huh.

Let’s take that IQ/EQ test right now delusional fibbing corrupt bureaucrat. That as always requires absolutely zero skill costly fibbing bureaucrat – um deceitful Hunter Biden is currently under federal investigation for tax evasion in which industry – consistently astonishingly corrupt, costly and deceitful. Seriously.

Reportedly Biden has spent around 39% of time since taking public office in 2021 on holidays (not counting time spent on overseas junkets) – is Biden getting paid for all that holiday time (is there a holiday loading or some such) or is that 39% of time off the clock not at tax payers expense 

15 June 2023 – “Biden (again) chuckles instead of answering a reporters reasonable question” Reporter instead writes “Biden laughs in your face”

Am remembering a great woman who used to write a polite letter to Arnott’s if she ever opened a packet of biscuits that had cracked biscuits. Arnott’s always sent her a replacement packet (hand delivered to ensure uncracked). A few bureaucrats fibbing waffle is a tad more than cracked biscuits.

protectthearctic.org has some great and simple actions people can take to protect the planet.

Stay cheerful! In cheerful news a few weeks ago most countries on the planet signed a UN High Seas Treaty to protect the worlds oceans.

It is a process but it can happen peacefully and with intellect. And lots and lots of letters.

17 March 2023 – this week two lawsuits were filed against (a few federal bureaucrats) by some leading American environmentalists ❤️

(certainly room for improvement from a few current corrupt coal lobby bureaucrats in Australia too – exorbitant tax payer funds subsidies (hundreds of billions approaching trillions) to the destroying all life on earth corrupt coal industry during record profits for them could be much better spent. Tax payer funds perhaps better put towards reducing budget deficits etc)

(and – um – why are a few bureaucrats inexplicably opening new coal mines this century and falsely claiming it is required for energy security – obviously coal mining is the least energy secure method setting fire to a coal seam is easy and it burns emitting pollution for (centuries) almost impossible to put out or mine again.

As an example of many robust options Biogas is very robust technology a few low cost water tank sized units processing green waste enough to provide gas to thousands of average homes for a month (and if the unimaginable occurs it is very easy to extinguish bombed biogas tank explosions and rebuild new ones – much easier than nuclear or coal) Lots and lots of ways to reliably produce low cost to consumers and weather proof electricity without coal)

(and yeeeeeees corrupt coal lobby freemasons there is money to be made in renewables – abundant low cost energy puts hundreds/thousands of dollars a year directly into the pockets of consumers (families) – that extra money in families pockets then circulates in the economy providing a huge economic boost. 

Suppose it all depends on who want money to be flowing towards – families or a few corrupt freemason coal corps)

(15 March 2023 – last week in Australia free water being supplied to coal mines by the local government was ceased – honestly hadn’t thought about the amount of water being used by coal mines and coal electricity plants – so coal not only is the major contributor to greenhouse emissions it also consumes huge amounts of water – coal has a double contribution to emptying dams and rivers. Absolutely stunning that drought stricken farmers had not been receiving free water from the government but coal mines had been for decades until a few days ago.

Switch off coal electricity plants it may help those river and dam levels rise. It’s easy! Really!

For several years it has been good to know there are already a few incredibly talented teenager programmers out there and we love you all lots.

Many of us around at the creation of the internet no longer work in tech, myself included, and clearly many of us are experiencing a mid life crisis of some sort it is possible we may have accidentally crossed the beams for a moment and accidentally shut down the entire planet for a few years – but still there is hope.

It is vital that you blank your mind completely. Forget everything that we have ever done. Build something better.

Help us and create better software than this form field crap controlled by evil AI’s you are all our only hope.

(opinions on blog my own)

(Am not a fan of Rump (or violence in any form) but imagining Biden (and preferably Rump too) gagged, hogtied and being driven to the retirement village is very very good. Reminds me of the time (with their permission) we gagged and hogtied a local TV news presenter live on air and replaced him with someone reporting stories about reducing coal use (we won the uni competition). Irrelevant but am personally of the opinion technology does a lot of good – AI included (especially in medical fields in remote regions). No doubt unfortunately some bean-counting types see more profit in less humans. In my opinion humans must always have the ability to override (or switch off and choose not to use) technology – vital)

Although …. reportedly studies have found that currently nearly half of all internet traffic is bots (bots are automated programs often AI that post fake comments or artificially inflate stats etc – apparently around one third are good bots and two thirds are bad bots) – that’s a lot lot of bots

The owners of Alphabet have never been really interested in social media platforms and have this week instead allocated funding to news outlets.

Huge kudos alphabet. Really.

People being able to rig an election by flicking a switch on a social media platform or spammed comments is not cool.

All sides of political issues being accurately reported and not censored is vital.

(as for the pages of “who owns alphabet” search results a while ago it is possible Alphabet is currently owned by an Artificial Intelligence. Am sure that’s fine

…. although someone just reminded me of Mt SinAI – truly was prophetic

“Never listen to an AI only listen to (god)” is a good rule. A good set of commandments on how to combat evil)

Honestly. Have sent emails explaining that months and months ago alphabet. Please respect peoples privacy. Seriously.

(9 September 2023 – ignore this – was just thinking about a few great talks and lectures attended ages ago by some of the best economists in the world 

By all means encourage domestic production rather than bureaucrats falsely thinking they can tell another country not to blah blah manufacture electric products etc – that is just really absurd and costly bureaucratic nonsense.

Biden’s nonsense has reportedly potentially just cost American corporations trillions in lost revenue a year if reciprocal sanctions/bans are put in place by China (reportedly Apple alone would lose around $200billion revenue a year from lost sales in China)

Friendly trade with other nations has happily kept the economic world spinning since the beginning of the Neanderthal period – even during the Cold War good politicians continued dialogue and trade relations with Russia and there is no doubt good trade helped to bring about nuclear disarmament and peace.

Some bureaucrats perhaps best stick to doing their jobs of building roads and bridges etc – how’s the budget deficit coming costly Biden, America’s credit rating, world peace etc etc since taking office – it’s the little things that matter)

(10 September 2023 – and incidentally why rather than reducing own coal use is significantly increasing coal use fibbing Biden constantly attempting to pick a fight with a country installing more renewable energy each and every year than the rest of the planet combined rather than thanking China for their extraordinary greenhouse reducing efforts. Seriously)

Some very talented South Korean engineers are trialling an AI medical robot.

Thats a great use of tech – especially in remote regions, on long distance voyages (space) or assisting during emergencies when medical staff are stretched to the limit (plus no way for a  medical robot to sneeze and transmit any contagion between patients)

For more than a decade remote operating machines have been used to allow skilled human surgeons to perform surgery from thousands of kilometres away (or even the other side of the planet) without having to be there in person (any movement by the human surgeon is exactly replicated by the remote operating machine)

And optometrists now use computer software to perform many surgeries.

Have long admired the technical skill of the great engineers producing MRI scans etc.

Blood pressure is automatically done by machines mostly now.

Think would personally still want a human standing by observing a medical robot with any injections etc.

Perhaps an injecting machine is a good idea – just line people up and they get a vaccine jab – like cattle prods.

Know many humans and children that dread doctors visits – perhaps discussing things with a robot easier for some (and simply reboot the medical robot after every visit and wipe its memory – privacy assured – or have own personal family medical robot kept in the cupboard only switch it on when required is kind of a cool idea)

Is it cruel to keep a robot or AI (or both) switched off and locked in a cupboard – not at all.

(perhaps also worth mentioning actually use neither Bing nor Google search engines due to discomfort with a few absurd bureaucratic types blatant repeated privacy disrespecting conduct (for their own political points) and happily there are non US bureaucrat based alternatives.

On the bright side several criminal charges are ongoing for the Biden’s and Rumps so thats something. That’s not a country problem just a really unfortunate gosh awful bureaucrat problem – blatant absolutely appalling repeated violations of ethics and the law by a few absurd bureaucrats)

But as for hacked everything … someone is modifying photos on my devices

This photo on my device clearly hacked (not by me) there is no way my mouth could do that the lips aren’t even joining

Welcome to a brave new world – that seems to be real time (minimal delay) modification of images.

Oh and people’s outsides don’t matter at all. Seriously. This is just an example of how hacked things have become it’s the recent hacking of some graphics (not of me) along with some blatantly corrupt bureaucratic conduct that is incredibly concerning and way into criminal conduct (again).

Humans do not serve software. There is no doubt a few badly managed creepy corp troll platforms are exploiting people.

Good software platforms respect clients privacy and ensure content creators are paid a proportion of revenue earned.

Unfortunately reported by many people women and girls are still being harassed on constantly fibbing fb platforms (stalkerverse) including metaverse as am typing this – (copy others work gates-fubded-fb lacks the skill to do the blazing fast hacks shown in this post on devices and of course gates-funded-fb has correctly long been on the list of banned apps for secure government devices in many western countries) add many other unethical predatory talentless things including censoring harmless content whilst allowing misinformation and hate speech and taking all the income off others work – not an acceptable business practice creepy corps.

A future without predatory bully-rigged creepy corps exploiting people is a great thing to think about. Happily gates-funded-fb is no longer in the top ten downloaded apps in most countries

A future without pimples would be awesome too – we can always dream.

Software is a service. Humans do not serve software. Respecting privacy and ensuring people have control of how their personal information is used, freedom of expression, healthy debate and exchange of ideas is a fundamental component in healthy societies.

A month ago the Biden admin quietly increased their ability to censor information via the Framework for Federal Scientific Integrity Policy and Practice.

“Besides being unconstitutional, the prohibition serves no discernible public purpose and only benefits industrial players who oppose research that could lead to policy changes or stricter regulations” a high ranking American scientist said.

Rump used the law to prevent federally funded agencies from discussing water quality issues.

During the Obama/Biden admin it was used to ban a researcher discussing the negative effects of monoculture on insect populations or the effects pesticides have on pollinators.

As an example under legislation first put in place by the Obama/Biden administration fibbing Fauci had the ability to place a gag order on any federally funded scientist in the country.

Oh dear.

In just half a year one hectare (around 2.5 acres) of hemp can absorb between 10-20 tonnes of carbon dioxide. Spectacular.

As well as being great used in clothing – temperature insulating hempcrete is a useful building material.

A label with the amount of carbon dioxide removed from the atmosphere by purchasing a garment – very cool – would sell like hotcakes!

(ignore this after posting some climate deniers just chucked a paper aeroplane am required to chuck it back with a few quick folds)

May have typed this before …. coal use is producing around half of global greenhouse emissions and urgently ceasing use of destroying all life on earth coal does not require “radical changes in lifestyle or standard of living” it’s low cost and easy to do and brings great positive socio economic gains including ensuring oxygen is still available on the planet, more food being produced, people can step outside without feinting due to extreme heat, less pollution that is causing severe disease especially in children, significantly lower cost (electricity) to consumers and saves hundreds of billions (approaching trillions) each year in costs due to increasing catastrophic severe weather disasters. Do any absurd coal lobby freemasons have actual degrees in economics.

Others have mentioned carbon offsets being stated by bureaucrats simply do not add up apparently there is simply not that much land on the planet to plant that many trees. Not awesome math. These same bureaucrats are the same ones responsible for our current record budget deficits. (sea kelp may help carbon offsets but only if ocean temperature stays within parameters it is already exceeding – increased temperatures are currently causing large scales losses of sea kelp and coral reefs) Please could we simply cease using destroying all life on earth coal. Makes a lot of sense.

Attempting to sequester CO2 underground has been repeatedly attempted and clearly proven to be ineffective it leaks out. Have seen numerous engineers designing coal electricity plants design a carbon capture unit as well as a pro bono gesture (in fact all of them did because ethically they knew how bad that amount of CO2 is) the carbon capture units are as big or bigger than the coal electricity plant itself and makes coal use prohibitively expensive – for decades every coal electricity plant (owner) left the carbon capture unit off deliberately which makes that knowingly destroying all life on earth for profit. There is no such thing as a cost effective and efficient carbon capture device for coal electricity plants they produce enormous quantities of CO2 and we have known this for decades. Real science. Real engineering.

(some one just said there are elections next week so some paragraphs on bureaucrats moved to bottom of blog – not intended as a red/blue anything)

And incidentally reported today “Significant corrosion and leaking have been detected in a number of coal seam gas wells in Australia, with experts now concerned about the broader implications for groundwater contamination.” There is no justifiable reason to be mining coal this century. Reported this week some German bureaucrats have just torn down a wind power farm to start mining coal instead (hopefully temporary but coal mines once opened are almost impossible to close until empty – that seems like a decades of coal thing) Could we have some green waste wheelie bins that the council collects each week and converts to bio gas and fertilizer. Rural regions in particular could easily be self sufficient in bio gas production (or other green energy) and insulated from the constant costly fluctuations in coal prices or high demand during extreme weather. Kinetic speed bumps (and other green energy) are practical for high density urban environments. And solar is great. Destroying all life on earth coal use has increased significantly since the start of 2021. Slimey shonky coal drug addict pimps the more coal used the more extreme climate and the more air conditioning required so more coal sold.

Coal is producing the most greenhouse gases – not cows – coal.

Methane remains in the atmosphere for a decade whilst CO2 remains in the atmosphere from between hundreds to a thousand years – reducing CO2 emissions is vital. Oh and instead of subsiding coal industry disasters and buying everyone an air conditioner with tax payer funds, additional reservoirs or desalination plants and piping mains water to farmland regions would be useful – could be worth spending tax payer funds on. Just a thought. Think last year an Australian state invested around four billion in tax payer funds in a project to provide mains water irrigation to every farm in the state – a sure fire way to drought proof regions, ensure food security, provide lots of great jobs in agriculture (as opposed to die early coal mining), keep regional communities financially buoyant and saving billions in tax payer funded agricultural subsidies due to extreme weather. Water pipes have been around since Roman times – it’s not complicated – produces great socio-economic effects.

(incidentally this year CO2 emissions are globally at their highest amount ever and increasing – except in China where CO2 emissions are consistently decreasing as pledged. Thank you for being such good neighbours)

Completely irrelevant but am not anti-mining at all, metal and rare earths vital. Toxic coal mining is not required and unjustifiable (coal electricity plants employ only a few hundred people each and only in total a few thousand people requiring retraining on ceasing use of coal – leading economists put the loss to Australias economy (GDP) at 0.1% with significant long term gains due to growth in other industries including agriculture, hydrogen and rare earth minerals)




Just read a few great articles on how to invest in Brazil again. Exactly. The positive knock on effects from green energy are enormous. Huge kudos.


(15 November 2022 – the G7 plus a few other countries and the private sector (including Citigroup, BoA, Deutsche Bank, HSBC) have this week reportedly agreed to invest $20billion into Indonesia to transition from coal use. Congratulations! Huge kudos Widodo! A stunningly beautiful part of the planet.

Meanwhile in oz this week highly respected investors are flying in the face of threats of attempts to prop up coal with creeping bureaucratic government intervention and bidding to purchase Australia’s last remaining coal electricity plants to convert to renewables – fingers crossed and our highest regards and thanks)



(22 November 2022 – ignore this – am not involved in politics but perhaps important to point out it was reported today that this year the Biden’s have chosen a christmas tree at the whitehouse from Schuylkill County (known as the centre of Pennsylvania’s Coal Region) Got to be kidding. The Bidens cut down a tree from the middle of coal country to use at the whitehouse. That’s an unfortunate bureaucrat problem not a country problem some current oz bureaucrats similarly unintelligent.

Right now am actually in the middle of wine country in Australia (used to be called coal country now everyone knows it as wine country – from toxic polluted coal dust to one of the best and most affluent wine growing regions in the world in just a few decades) Having dinner watching short people giggling and skipping around and around and around the base of the community Christmas tree in the town centre all evening was as it should be)

(22 January 2023 

If was the cynical type would say Bidens (ban on gas stoves?) was to prevent people getting a carbon neutral home biogas unit (around the size of an outdoor BBQ) and producing almost zero cost, carbon neutral biogas. 

Coal is the major emitter of greenhouse emissions on the planet.

Switching off gas stoves before coal electricity plants are switched off simply pushes more people onto using coal.

)

(have noticed some bureaucrats reducing greenhouse emissions ineffective mumblings are mostly focused on pushing the costs/burdens onto consumers – ban solar panel imports thus driving up prices – everyone has to get an electric car – everyone has to get a new stove – farmers cannot have cows****. Seems attempting to try to get people mad about reducing greenhouse emissions by falsely attempting to try to make reducing greenhouse emissions seem a hassle/inconvenience for them rather than the enormous gain in reducing costs it really is. And simply pushing the burden of reducing greenhouse emissions back onto consumers is not actually a bureaucrats job – a bureaucrats job is to legislate the stuff that consumers cannot do on their own like REDUCING TAX PAYER FUNDED SUBSIDIES TO COAL – consumers and private business are already doing the bulk of the action in reducing greenhouse emissions – some bureaucrats seriously need to start doing their part by encouraging recycling green waste into biogas (via local councils and/or private use), encouraging biofuels or most importantly implementing urgently ceasing destroying all life on earth coal use)


(22 January 2023

“A dairy farm in Bosnia is able to produce more energy in an hour using biogas than the average household consumes in a month” (by installing only a few water tank sized biogas fermenters)

Abundant low cost energy on a farm is a huge bonus keeping food prices down for consumers and ensuring the farm stays profitable and insulated from fluctuating energy costs (selling any excess biogas or fertiliser produced makes it zero cost energy)

The thermal energy created during fermentation of biogas is also used to heat farm buildings with intent to use to heat greenhouses for growing plants too.

“The carbon in biogas comes from plant matter that fixed this carbon from atmospheric CO2 – biogas production is carbon-neutral and does not add to greenhouse gas emissions.”

No need to throw away the gas stove just yet – simply get a home biogas unit (about the size of an outdoor BBQ) and recycle garden clippings, food scraps (almost zero cost, carbon neutral biogas and lots of fertiliser to make more garden clippings) – or simply purchase a canister of biogas from the local farmers market.

)


**** (some bureaucrats banning sale of anything but new EV’s from 2035 (aka do nothing now but maybe do something in a decade legislation – easily reversed before then and utterly meaningless – incidentally acts as a disincentive to immediately increase biofuel production and keeps people using fossil fuel oil for decades (with perhaps inefficient older engines)) and bureaucrat Modi’s inexplicable corrupt ban on sale of EV’s (and significantly increasing purchase of Russian oil during sanctions) are examples of equally filled with hot-air, inappropriate and ineffective legislation.

EV’s are great but not the only option – making biofuels more readily available helps to reduce greenhouse emissions rapidly – (very low cost to tax payers and consumers – infrastructure already in place – simply add a biofuel bowser to every petrol station – requires changing a sticker (few dollars per sticker)) – forcing people to use electric cars before coal electricity plants are switched off simply pushes more people onto using coal. 

Perhaps important to point out that charging an EV with coal produced electricity produces significantly more green house emissions than a petrol powered car. 

Having typed all that am a fan of electric buses, taxis, cars, postie scooters and delivery vans etc reducing air and noise pollution in urban environments blissful and great for human and environmental health. (also like listening to the engine to know when to change gears kind of takes the fun out of it otherwise but can survive)

Some airlines (including Emirates and Qatar) are already operating biofuel flights and biofuel only ground transportation with more coming. Qantas and Airbus signed a deal during 2022 to increase biofuel use. Huge kudos. Really fantastic.

Coal is the major producer of greenhouse emissions on the planet and must be urgently ceased.)

(24 March 2023 – reported by others Biden is considering tearing down four hydroelectric dams (with an estimated cost to tear down the four dams tens of billions in tax payer funds) – the four hydroelectric dams are currently providing 3,000 megawatts of electricity (around 8% of states total electricity enough for millions of residents) and removal will push more people onto polluting coal/gas electricity. Astonishing.

They are attempting to justify the hydroelectric dam removal by saying it will help salmon numbers increase. Have no knowledge but reportedly Biden appointed bureaucrats are stating the hydroelectric dam removal will assist salmon numbers increasing whilst other fishery and wildlife experts disagree and say the dam removal is not vital in this moment – reducing greenhouse emissions much much more critical for wildlife. As an example more than a million fish just died in a river in Australia due to a heat wave (combined with lack of oxygen caused by overcrowding in the river after flood waters receded) am tending towards reducing greenhouse emissions much more critical to protect all life on the planet.

Once enough non coal electricity is available to the grid then perhaps consider hydroelectric dam removal if it is endangering wildlife – the hydroelectric dams were constructed in the seventies primarily for transportation and flood mitigation in populated areas – hydroelectric features were an added bonus. Seems like another example of fibbing Biden corruptly using public office to attempt to increase coal electricity use – at huge cost to many)




(3 December 2022 – a detailed report issued this week states that if every coal mine and coal electricity plant in NSW closed it would be a less than 0.02% impact on unemployment – those stats hold true for all regions with coal electricity plants – additionally people working in (or close to) coal mines or plants are at high risk of injury or disease from pollution and have reduced life expectancy. Easy to retrain people in rare earth mining, green hydrogen production (for steel), hospitality, agriculture, gardening, solar panel installation etc. Ceasing use of coal has no negative impact on the economy and enormous positive socio-economic gains)

(26 January 2023 – Adani’s coal mine in Australia has recently been cited by an American as the “biggest con in all of corporate history in the entire world” Glencore corrupt bribes etc similarly not awesome. Coal is a real deal corrupt and toxic industry. Apparently the assessment and subsequent drop in stock price may impact the ability for coal mines to gain further investment revenue. Here’s hoping. Pretty please with sugar on top.)

(20 December 2022 – as an example of a gazillion only found out this week that a corrupt oz bureaucrat was recently sentenced to years in jail for an attempted corrupt allocation of coal mining exploration (repeated real and targeted absolutely delusional talentless corrupt bureaucratic conduct from some absurdly talentless corrupt coal lobby sleazy freemason bureaucrats in both political parties – it’s a national park and mining coal there impossible that is delusional talentless and absolutely absurdly corrupt bureaucratic conduct. Jail time deserved.) Seriously. Being deceitful whilst holding public office and/or using public office corruptly (for own or family members gain) is very serious crime and jail time deserved territory – something some current absurd bureaucrats seem to have forgotten. Seriously. Bureaucrats are public servants with a duty to conduct themselves with integrity, transparency and accountability.)

(25 November 2022 – after three years a team of talented young Queenslanders successfully argued their case and “today the Queensland Land Court ruled human rights would be unjustifiably limited by a proposal to dig the state’s largest coal mine in Central Queensland. It’s the first time a group has successfully argued mined coal would impact human rights by contributing to climate change.” Reportedly the activists had tears in their eyes when the verdict was handed down. Us too ❤️ Congratulations!)

(25 October 2022 – ** am a strong proponent of freedom of speech and Iran National are in my opinion free to express their own opinions freely. And of course politics is up to the people of any country to decide. Having typed that reading today about Afghanistan women marching in solidarity with Iran bought tears to our eyes – am incredibly sorry (our) previous not awesome bureaucrats (now happily mostly peacefully removed from office) did that – our deepest apologies)




HomeBioGas is extremely cool. Turning the gas from an organic waste compost heap into an energy source and organic fertilizer (two hours of cooking gas per day with a basic unit). Genius.


If can power instantaneous gas water heater too – extremely genius. Love topiary the more clip the more electricity generated.

Lots and lots of ways of producing reliable low cost to consumers electricity without fossil fuels what costs more to construct and maintain a nuclear power plant or a multi-storey organic waste recycling center. An aircraft hanger with pods stacked to the ceiling in rows would produce a bit of gas. (similarly the current fertiliser shortage contributing to inflation and the global food crisis can be easily rectified)



There is actually almost always good in both sides of a debate – the full spectrum of opinion from far left to far right (on a bell curve) required and valued to make a complete whole – a beautiful and passionate cacophony of ideas being peacefully freely discussed.

(10 October 2022 – Dear Ms Icon (aka disturber of peace) may have “scared the crap” out of (someone) but am not scared by you at all – would be your backing dancer any day xox)



“Just a node on the greater web of life on the planet”

(11 October 2022 – reportedly the director of GCHQ stated today that he would encourage young people to use tiktok (he is probably someone that would know of any risks) An open and free internet is a magical place. Well managed, joyful, human, privacy respecting apps are awesome. (BTW tiktok is part owned by Oracle one of the most secure tech corps) youtube shorts is similarly well managed and a safe environment for short people)

If haven’t seen, the nature videos on tiktok are truly breathtaking


Go girls xox

Am purrfectly fine. 

Ta.

Carry on.


(and you Ms Iconic Cat are one of the most gifted people have ever seen. Stay strong xox)



(7 October 2022 – happily did not see a baby being jabbed with mrna because that would be criminal. Inactivated vaccines are safe for short people.

P.S.

this week amongst many others Australias former deputy chief medical officer has requested a review of mrna vaccines for children amid concerns they barely benefit from the jab and are more likely to suffer side effects)

(12 October 2022 – reportedly renowned evidence based medical experts in Denmark have recently ceased recommending mrna vaccines for people under 50 and recommend only vaccination of people aged 50 years and over as well as selected risk groups. Always speak with a medical professional never anything online including this blog)

Was a librarian all through school by time got to uni had other extra curriculum activities but still always had a secret longing and to this day. That was before computers had a card catalogue system and tiny cute brass handled timber drawers lining the walls with a typed with a typewriter cardboard card for every book (used to love typing those cards) – people had cardboard library cards that would stamp with the day due back – all very very cool. Had huge oversized red rimmed glasses that sat on my cheekbones and went half way up my forehead that only ever wore when was in the library – thought it made me blend in better. Spent an afternoon at a library used to love to retreat to and it was empty – this morning absolutely jam packed with people (and children) just hanging out reading. Happy place xox

On the bright side flooding caused by climate emergency catastrophic weather events is one way to cease coal mining.

Nature will win



(25 October 2022 – for several days now have been trying to ignore repeated reports of a coal tanker cruising into Newcastle harbour using a giant sail (wind power) – that really doesn’t count as reducing greenhouse emissions. Really.)

(28 October 2022 – in happier news this week a requested coal mine expansion was refused for the first time ever in that region of the Hunter Valley. Celebrations! Congratulations! xox)



For an extraordinary woman that devoted herself to uplifting others every day

Love and peace

‘In the 1920’s it was agreed by delegates that they were all equal members of a community of nations. The community that was formed in the roaring twenties is called the Commonwealth of Nations or just the Commonwealth.’

1990 was a particularly good year along with many other good years.



Amongst the best books we’ve read this year

The Edge Of The Plain by James Crawford

“Is this just a symptom? Or could borders themselves be the cause?”



Remembering Gorbachev

Love and peace




(timing of post accidental. Happiness and God Bless)


“Bangladesh has the highest number of green factories in the world – 40 out of the top 100 green industrial projects in the world are in Bangladesh”

Very very cool.

Gaia Hypothesis

“In the 1960s James Lovelock invented an ultrasensitive electron capture detector that revealed for the first time how toxic chemicals are creeping into the air we breathe, the water we drink and the soil where we grow our food. He issued one of the earliest warnings that toxic gases are destabilising the climate.”
