The world is not linear.
-- Donald Hughes McElhone, Ph.D./1980

All one need do to see the obvious: look at a graph of global population since AD began. For an even starker image: go back another 1,000 years. Mother Nature isn't linear, either.

David Gelles writes recently that even the scientists find their sphincters clenching. Mother Earth is warming faster than their earlier predictions. Which, naturally, Batshit J. Moron screams is a hoax.

Seas are rising and glaciers are melting — and there's also now a growing debate about whether the rate of planetary warming is actually speeding up. New research published this month found that even after accounting for other phenomena such as volcanic eruptions, solar radiation and natural variability, the rate of global warming has accelerated since 2015.

So, Mother Nature is biting The Stupid (and the rest of us) in the butt when The Stupid are our Dear Leaders. Much like Batshit J. Moron's beloved 19^th century primitive economy and society (wonderful tariffs and clean, beautiful coal, and the like). Killed your farm's soil? Just go a few miles West to get virgin pasture. Kill that in a few years? Just go a few more miles West. And so on. Some time ago I saw a teeVee report with a corn farmer (the 12 foot high silage kind of corn) who observed that the only thing the ground did was hold up the stalk; the soil is barren and without petro fertilizers, nada.
