Sunday has finally made an appearance!
Last night, was trying to convince somebody to question what he was reading and hearing about “climate change”. But the continual response I received was “I trust the science”.

What that somebody refers to as “the science” nowadays should be named “opinion” or “activist” science.
Remember when Dr Fauci said “I am the science”. Tells you all you need to know about these people.

Better than “Sunday too far away”

They dont trust the science ( whatever that means in their heads) they trust whatever is dished up in their comfort zone media like the ABC, SMH/Age, BBC, CNN etc they all have the same script.

I have been watching the 7048 boat race from Seattle to Port Townsend. One of my Twin 8 designs placed fourth. This is the race tracker:
https://cf.yb.tl/seventy48_2025
The stragglers are still coming in.
Today I realised that there is more than one 48 that the race gets its name from. The 70 is the distance of 70Nm. The 48 is the 48 hours time limit. If you do not finish within 48 hours you get DNFed. But the other reason for the 48 is that the course crosses t48N. That is a good deal further north than Tasmania is to the south. No wonder Australia is the hot continent.
The conditions were pleasant. It is getting close to peak sunlight in the NH so about 2 months till the hottest days. After that it will cool down rapidly and the many locations along 48N and further north will get snow. In the not too distant future, that snow will be accumulating from year to year. I think Puget Sound and Haro Strait is one of the regions that give rise to a fresh water pulse during deglaciation when the ice dam breaks and there is a great pulse of cooling freshwater with icebergs into the Pacific.
In a couple of weeks, the WA 360 boat race starts. Its is a more compact version of the Race to Alaska. I have interest in this race because I design human powered propulsion systems for quite a few of the sailing boats. Most now use pedal power rather than long oars.

A very interesting video featuring Dr John Campbell speaking with Dr Tina Peers. Peers was successfully treating patients for covid in the early days of the pandemic with a cocktail of vitamins and antihistamines. She was forced to be jabbed in order to continue working and suffered a vaccine injury.

Some of the information in the video is invaluable to people who have spike protein lingering in their body after infection or vaccination.
The treatment protocols in the video are all Peers reviewed 😉

Another go at how those dams will never fill –
“NYT’s ‘Thirsty Atmosphere’ Claim Falls Flat: Real Data Debunks Drought Alarmism”
“Let’s begin with semantics. The atmosphere is not a sentient entity—it doesn’t get “thirstier.” That is a term more appropriate for a Gatorade commercial than climate science.”
Much more at
https://wattsupwiththat.com/2025/06/06/nyts-thirsty-atmosphere-claim-falls-flat-real-data-debunks-drought-alarmism/
“In conclusion, the NYT article is a masterclass example of turning natural variability and questionable modeling into a headline-ready climate crisis story. By attributing regional droughts to global temperature trends and anthropomorphizing the atmosphere as “thirsty,” they abandon scientific rigor in favor of sensational storytelling. Compounding their error, the NYT ignores countervailing data on rainfall, long-term drought, and even the IPCC’s own cautious language on drought attribution.
When news outlets resort to metaphors about “thirsty skies” and glaringly omit factual explanations, they’re not informing—they’re indoctrinating. Honest climate reporting, requires a lot less narrative and a lot more reference to the hallmarks of the scientific method: available data and testable propositions.”
And doesn’t seem to have heard of Flannery.

Nuclear Explosions for Large Scale Carbon Sequestration
Sequester 30 years worth of CO2 emissions with a big bang at the bottom of the ocean.

I guess if they get the blast right then we don’t need to worry about CO2 emissions. On the other hand, if they get it wrong we then don’t need to worry about CO2 emissions. 😄
