Water vapor is the largest contributor to the Earth’s greenhouse effect. So if the factors that cause cloud creation are ignored then how can one believe that man-made global warming is out of control.

There's much framing, last saturday wasn't destructive, thus they show photo's from the week before, that's everywhere, and the red christmas lights 8O that gives a violent picture, or is it spectacle for the top, a heavy hint of blood-sacrifice, on the "champs elysees", soon?

So if they somehow get macron to step aside, what would happen? Do they have a Vice President?

Most of their requests seemed pretty reasonable to me, like wanting protections for their poor, their working class, their transport system and local business. The stuff with the immigrants might be harder to work on but they could get some things started.

I mean, couldn’t they at least PRETEND to work with the common people? It seems a little ridiculous.

Why isn't the US arming the moderate rebels to fight against the regime?

- Measures to combat "climate change" can also be extremely varied and therefore influence and encompass many different aspects of people's lives (e.g. lifestyle, consumption, sociological, geographical, financial, educational, psychological and reproductive) all under the imperative of "climate change" and globally so.



By pointing out these things above, I'm not intending on debating the merits or lack thereof of acting on "climate change". Instead, I want to point out that even a hard core believer in climate change action can't deny the above points being true, that: Climate change is the ultimate vehicle for controlling people on a global level. I didn't read that somewhere, I think it's just obvious.



Bingo. This is exactly what I was talking about in my post. Exactly.

About five years ago, in the UK, gas was about $10.00 a gallon. Nowadays, it's about $5.00 a gallon.

In the US, gas prices are usually half of that found in most of Continental Europe.
The going price for gasoline in Toronto (according to Google) is equivalent to 3.61USD per gallon. Several years ago people in the US were paying that much. Yesterday the Shell station near my house was charging 2.14 per gallon (of course Thursdays are 5 cents off).

I don't know about the rest of Canada.

"Climate Realist" in this context means " climate change denier".

The Yellow Vest rebellion in France is still continuing.

French Yellow Vest protestors tried to storm a lavish holiday home of President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday. A group of around 50 Frenchmen fed up with the government led by Macron gathered at the medieval fort of Bregancon off the French Mediterranean coast.

Across the country, nearly 40,000 people protested last week, compared to 66,000 the week before. So the rebellion appears to be losing some of its energy.

New demonstrations are planned Saturday and on New Year’s Eve.

Lots of people are taking a break over Christmas.

"The Republic, it is Moi." :D

France's Macron reeling as tough stance against 'yellow vests' backfires

PARIS (Reuters) - Emmanuel Macron intended to start the new year on the offensive against the ‘yellow vest’ protesters. Instead, the French president is reeling from more violent street demonstrations.

What began as a grassroots rebellion against diesel taxes and the high cost of living has morphed into something more perilous for Macron - an assault on his presidency and French institutions.

The anti-government protesters on Saturday used a forklift truck to force their way into a government ministry compound, torched cars near the Champs Elysees and in one violent skirmish on a bridge over the Seine punched and kicked riot police officers to the ground.

The French authorities’ struggle to maintain order during the weekend protests raises questions not just over policing tactics but also over how Macron responds, as he prepares to bring in stricter rules for unemployment benefits and cut thousands of public sector jobs.

On Sunday evening, Macron wrote on Twitter: “Once again, the Republic was attacked with extreme violence - its guardians, its representatives, its symbols.”

His administration had hardened its stance against the yellow vests after the protest movement appeared to have lost momentum over the Christmas holidays.

The government would not relent in its pursuit of reforms to reshape the economy, government spokesman Benjamin Griveaux said on Friday, branding the remaining protesters agitators seeking to overthrow the government.

Twenty-four hours later, he was fleeing his office out of a back door as protesters invaded the courtyard and smashed up several cars. “It wasn’t me who was attacked,” he later said. “It was the Republic.”

Because Mr. Trump has no interest in a regime that has no oil reserves and that does not provide a tax shelter.
