If it stopped in 1998. . .

[kallend 1,623]

. . . why was July 2021 the hottest month recorded globally since record keeping began?

What stopped in 1998 wasn't the global warming, it was their thought process.

Non-paywalled version straight from the NOAA: https://www.noaa.gov/news/its-official-july-2021-was-earths-hottest-month-on-record

Prediction: we're not going to get a July update from the troll. (we'll probably get an update in October or something, saying "today was cooler than yesterday, ha!")

But July in Paraguay was a degree COOLER than last year!  So much for global warming.

Do you think a time will come when people will decide that going to live in a desert is perhaps not the greatest retirement plan.

Well, not at the present time:

2020 census: Phoenix grows more than any other major city; Buckeye, Goodyear among fastest growing

So Sen. James Inhofe (R, OK), author of 2012’s “The Greatest Hoax: How the Global Warming Conspiracy Threatens Your Future,” is now claiming that he never called climate change a hoax.

Is there anything the GOP won't lie about?

Is there anything their base won't fall for?

 

Barnum was right.

Hi folks,

Interesting tidbit of info:  Last holdout nation stops sales of toxic leaded gas, a milestone for global health - oregonlive.com

Slowly, but surely, we will get there.

100LL  ("LL" = "low lead") is available at just about every airport, large or small, in the USA.

Note that is Low Lead, not No Lead.

There is one company in the western world still producing tetraethyllead. In one facility located in Britain. And only one small tanker ship dedicated to shipping it. There is reputed to be some illegal production in China. The future availability of 100LL fuel is very much in doubt.

100LL will no longer be available at my local airport.  Not sure of the date, just been decided.  Factions have been trying to get rid of the airport for decades.

Guess you'll have to upgrade to a Turbine :)

Interestingly, someone that lives in the hangar at my local airport had a kid about a year ago.  The kid had toxic levels of lead in one of her recent checkups.  They immediately moved. 

Kids obviously put a lot of stuff in their mouth and I assume tons of 100LL dust near GA airports.  Anyone aware of studies about flying GA and it's effects?  Not just living near the airport?

Miniscule compared to any city street in the 1950s to 1990s.  Leaded gas for road vehicles wasn't banned until 1996.

That's ridiculous. Just another case of government overreach and tyranny.

I'm thinking of starting a GoFundMe page to collect funds to hire a lobbyist* to petition the government to change that.

 

 

* Not all funds will be used for hiring purpose. Some funds will be used for overhead, maintenance, future legal fees and business trips to tropical islands.

One of the groundbreaking studies of the effects of lead on children was deliberately done on white children, not because the researcher thought they were the only ones that mattered, but because he knew it would remove that particular argument against the perceived convenience of keeping lead in gas, paint, and other assorted products.
