Which also had this link, like the grist piece with many graphs that make it very clear:

And the video from yours:

The melting ice and warming waters contribute to this and the only thing that I've heard worse are the predictions about the underwater conveyor belt in the ocean.

It's said to be slowing. It would stop doing what serves to moderate land temperatures and just make things worse.

A video in the V&MM forum, of rhe many changes over time of Earth's global temperature and chemistry:

It explains how huge this will be.

Their eyes say a lot when they look at you:

I have known a vast quantity of nonsense talked about bad men not looking you in the face. Don't trust that conventional idea.

Dishonesty will stare honesty out of countenance, any day in the week, if there is anything to be got by it.

Actor Steven Seagal Trains Arizona Posse On School Security

FOUNTAIN HILLS, Arizona (Reuters) - Action film star Steven Seagal, who racks up big body counts in his on-screen battles with bad guys, took on a new role on Saturday, training posse volunteers for controversial Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio in how to use guns to protect schools in shooting incidents.

Arpaio, who styles himself as "America's Toughest Sheriff," enlisted Seagal to train his Maricopa County posse members at a school in Fountain Hills, a suburb northeast of Phoenix, with children used as stand-ins for scared students.

Seagal, a burly martial arts expert turned actor, guided 48 volunteers through various aspects of responding to a shooting, including room-to-room searches, and critiqued their work.

"I am here to try to teach the posse firearms and martial arts to try to help them learn how to respond quicker and help protect our children," Seagal said...

Turning America into a war zone, with armed men controlling every move.

What kind of freedom is that?

The solution is air plane pressure ear plugs. You won't hear anything but your heart beat. I had the

same experience your brother did but an airline attendant realized what was happening to me. See my reply below for what she did:

I am sorry he suffered hearing loss.

Or having unbearable pain due to the changes of air pressure in the ear canal?

Years ago a flight attendant saw me silently suffering with intense ear pain as i had allergies, tears were streaming down my face.

It was one of my first flights and the attendant knew what to do. She went to the kitchen and got two paper cups, put a couple of cotton balls in hot water, and told me to hold them tight on my ears.

She said 'If you don't hold them tight, your eardrums might rupture.' When we got down to sea level she warned me to use anti-histamines before getting on a plane and to use those special ear plugs for air travel to protect my ears.

I use them when things are too loud anywhere. We don't know what was wrong with the child, but I suggest anyone who is flying should invest in those plugs.

Thought it was 10,000 years? Oh, yeah, and 'Bomb bomb bomb, bomb Iran' Johnnie singing.

We really 'dodged a bullet' with that nightmarish pair:



Keep on singing, Johnnie, we'll keep on laughing at you.
