  10. If teh Guardian says there's a typhoon, then there won't be….vurtually everything that rag says is a lie. They want you to live in fear so their boss Gates can cause lockdowns, define hate speech, and censor free thought

  11. I am surprised that you lot in The Guardian are suddenly more interested to report about the typhoon in Japan than the war Russian/Ukrainian and the ridiculous peace plan by Clownlesky or the genocide in Gaza.

  19. I wonder when the cost of all the damage exceeds the profits to be had from fossil fuels? Are we there yet? Because if we are, may I recommend we plug into the planet!
    Earth is a big ball of molten rock; and in future we are going to need massive amounts of clean energy – not just a trickle of wind or solar. It'd never be enough. You'd have to fuel the fires of mount doom to build enough windmills to meet global energy demand. But Magma Energy, according to NASA/Sandia Labs in 1982, could power the world ten times over carbon free forevermore! That so, we could not just meet human energy needs, but desalinate, irrigate, recycle all waste, and extract carbon from the atmosphere. Wind won't even keep the lights on! And high winds like these, would destroy wind and solar infrastructure.
