It’s been a tough few days, and I hope everyone living in areas hit by hurricane Ida is okay. Here’s the log-in information for the Zoom call at 1-2pmET today, Friday, September 3. If you’re new to Lucid, these are casual and supportive gatherings. Feel free to ask a question, comment, or just listen in. You can leave your camera off, and the call is not recorded. We’ll talk about the links between climate change and authoritarian policies, Texas as a laboratory of US illiberalism, the uptick in violent rhetoric in the US, and anything else on your mind. See you soon!
Here’s a clip of me speaking (at minute 7:10 onward) about the legitimation of violence on the Mehdi Hasan show a few days ago.
Each Friday, as visual relief from the news, I include a photo from my travels. I’ve asked Lucid subscribers to send me their own photos of favorite places at ruthbenghiat@protonmail.com. I’ll feature one each week. Today’s photo is courtesy of Jennifer Fonseca. It shows Kylemore Abbey in Connemara, Ireland.

You want to stay away from "climate change", Ruth. It's all a load of bollocks. The correct science is totally summarised in my last comment (and links) ...here..

I hope you can understand that.... it follows my confrontation with Rick in that thread.
Here's something else.. another thread where my opinion of a certain "scientist" is expressed...

The guy Hansen is actually a mate and science adviser to Al Gore.. There's your "authoritative figure", Ruth. .... I would call him a fat-assed charismatic crank with a D in science.. but the climate cult has followed him.. sucked in and conned by the "Reality Project".... you know.. come in for the free slap up dinner, but you have to listen to the cult leader's "climate change" sales lecture.
Don't be a climate cultist, Ruth. You will be on the wrong side of history...when in the future "greenhouse gases" will have the same status as philogiston and people will have a treasure trove of laughs at all the looney predictions and AGW material left over by a deluded. arrogant era when petty, insignificant humans actually thought they could alter the global temperature of the planet.
