Cosmic Catastrophe

10 meters[x2?] of copper tubing doesn't come cheap, but I guess they could 2nd use it.

21:55 ...when these particles come into the atmosphere well
22:03 they're coming in very very fast between eleven and about 73 kilometers per second that 73 kilometers per second is
22:10 a sum of the Earth's orbital velocity as well as the escape velocity for a
22:15 particle in orbit about the Sun so they can certainly be faster but then we're talking about things that have an
22:21 interstellar origin

Some people just need to wear a helmet outside, not just for their own good but as a warning to others too.

I saw another good one. A hubble discovered "dark matter galaxy far, far away" just turned out to be a star, in our galaxy according to James web. Lol.
Shall we continue to follow the soyence?

Here is a weird one. Something original that's for sure.
Pre-1957 artificial satellites.

I watched that. They kind of lost me with the speculative shape-from-reflection simulations.

I found it less than persuasive.

OTOH, the vitrified forts in Scotland attributed to a micro-nova have an alternative explanation.

Gorse and Scotch Broom -- same thing.

Gorse and Scotch broom are very similar plants; both are legumes; they have almost identical flowers, pods, and leaves; the only apparent difference is that some of the leaves on the gorse develop as thorns. They also have a slightly different preference with respect to altitude. There is more gorse in the lowlands than the broom, in the highlands the ratio is reversed.

[A bunch of aeroheads]: "the sun can't micro nova" and "The sun can't produce aluminum 26", then off up up ridiculous and impossible speculation as to where it came from.
Problem is the Genesis mission in the 1990s detected aluminum 26. I thought those kinds of science fuds love 1990s science, maybe it's only debunked science.

So the Solar Wind contains not only every element, but every isotope as well?

The dimming of Betelguese was a micronova event? That's pretty big.

Alarm! [klaxon] Alarm!

For the first time, an entirely new class of super-reactive chemical compounds has been discovered under atmospheric conditions. Researchers from the University of Copenhagen, in close collaboration with international colleagues, have documented the formation of so-called trioxides—an extremely oxidizing chemical compound that likely affects both human health and our global climate.

Doom, despair and agony on me; deep dark depression, excessive misery.

However, neither he nor Henrik Grum Kjærgaard are worried about the new discovery: "These compounds have always been around—we just didn't know about them... says Henrik Grum Kjærgaard.

"The discovery suggests that there could be plenty of other things in the air that we don't yet know about. Indeed, the air surrounding us is a huge tangle of complex chemical reactions. As researchers, we need to keep an open mind if we want to get better at finding solutions," concludes Jing Chen.

Nevermind.

Too many satellites and too much data to ignore solar forcing on the climate. Only hardened science rubes still believe in the ridiculous, debunked 0.5% variation.

As soon as he mentioned Bright Insight in the intro I knew where it was headed.

Neither of them explain how the 6000 years ago greening appears in maps created in the 1600s.

I wonder what either of them would say about James Demeo's [Reichian] Saharasia. saharasia.org/

The bright line from climate change to neo-nazis.
