    In the Texas panhandle there's a very large facility where they (supposedly) deactivate and dismantle old nuclear bombs/missiles. I'm sure what really happens is that the old stuff gets refurbished and put back into circulation, ready if it's needed. All that de-armament talk is just that, and I'm sure with our nuclear adversaries overseas it's the same thing. Anyway, a lot of what goes on site never leaves again, due to contamination. Wrenches, gauges, meters, clothes, etc. And this is just one such facility that I know of. Think of all that was manufactured during the Cold War. Decades of making atomic weapons using isotopes that have half lives in the tens of thousands of years. That stuff is everywhere and is going to be around for a long time to come. Between the radioactivity, the contaminates in our food, our water, and air, it's no wonder cancer is such a growing plague. My point being, our tax dollars are spent supposedly mitigating these existential threats to our health. Entire agencies were built and funded to protect us, and they have done the complete opposite. There is no oversight, no accountability, and they operate by their own rules, knowing most people won't even question the legitimacy of what they actually do.

    I wasn’t trying to use big words for the sake of it. Just wanted to be sure we were talking about the same thing. Haha!

    From the sounds of things today, that might be by October 1 that WWIII starts.

    Now Now. When the kool aid drinking crowd speaks it is all kool aid controlled facts, you know there’s never 2 true sides to every story. It’s only their facts and that’s it. Open minded? Hell no, just grab another shot of kool aid.

    For me the real problem is the money behind the science these days. Science should not be paid for by some special interest group but all too often it is. This leaves us feeling like we can’t trust much of the information that is coming out and then the topic gets political further clouding the truth.
    For me personally, I have a hard time believing over 8 billion of us don’t have some sort of negative impact on many if not all of Earth’s systems. What I don’t believe in and can’t stand is how dramatized some reports and predictions can be and how every little thing is blamed on global warming. I believe the truth of it all lies somewhere in the middle of us having zero impact and the sky is falling we are all doomed scenarios out there.

    I think NASA is a space agency, not a climate control agency. They build rockets and space craft and send them out into space. They really have no say on the earths climate.

    NOAA can’t predict the weather for yesterday let alone all the perils of the climate hoax!

    I think they should just ask some dinosaurs and maybe a woolly mammoth or two about climate change! I’m pretty sure Fred and Barney didn’t hunt them to extinction. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t this man made climate change they cry about today. I’m pretty sure money wasn’t involved. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t gasoline powered vehicles. I just wish they had done a better job at keeping good unbiased written daily weather records. It definitely would debunk some kool aid theories of modern times. Remember we are just leaving a prolonged period of global cooling, temperature is getting back inline to what it was 150 years ago. Official records don’t go back that far and these so called quoted scientists just ignore things.

    Loring Air Force Base in Limestone had all kinds of missile sites in the surrounding areas. They were the northern and eastern most B52 SAC Base in the continental United States. My uncle was a B52 pilot stationed there for several years, how he met my aunt. I was born not far from there. Still have family there. I am in the area a few times a month. I drive by the missile sights today, still gated and fenced with a lot newer fencing than was there when the base closed. Still occasionally see government vehicles parked there. Now ask yourself, and look it up yourself, when Loring was closed everything was removed, at least they claim, why is it updated and secured and people still there? The ammo dumps are extremely remote with the best access on foot through the woods a long ways. Don’t know what those look like today.

    We live in an area like this, one way our Kaolin deposits were formed.
    Several years ago, some site digging was done here at our plant, about 20' down in soft limestone, I found several sand dollar fossils, along with other shells. We're about 150 miles from the ocean now.

    Ask wildwest why she can’t have a well and drink the water at her house. Remember she’s not far from Salt Lake City in the big picture. And at 8000 feet elevation!

    There it is. :handshake:
    You take the money out of this "climate change", it all suddenly evaporates...well, the "scientists" parts anyways, I'm sure there are plenty of individuals that have sucked up so much of the koolaid that they would continue on with the cause anyways, regardless of the facts.
    To some small degree, yeah, maybe. But its a gnat fart in a hurricane compared to the earths own naturally and forever occurring events...volcanoes, forest fires, etc etc.

    Everything all the folks here are saying is the exact reason why many of the science community doesn't know SH!T. And, anyone who's been around in the military knows the government is FULL of SH!T...

    Yep, my area is on top of ancient ocean where the crust is still intact, it never broke up and percolated like most areas so the water table here is pure minerals and salt. Dinosaur bones galore. ~7400', that post I was referring to a chart and the line I belonged in was 7,000 to 8,000 feet :)

    Sorry Mike, they are HUGE into the weather and atmosphere also. Wallops Island, Va where I was stationed had the launch station for satellites but also a very huge weather Observatory.

    I’m just looking back 30 years when I was there. I forget the exact elevation. I do know this guy that lived his whole life at a few hundred feet above sea level damm near died from lack of oxygen out there! I remember a few fossil spots they advertised and vida voo in the middle of the plains outside of town.
