  FM: Magnetic poles are shifting rapidly. Nobody mentions it because left vs right is more fun for everyone in charge.

    Alan Archibald Here is how I look at global warming.
    
    If you knew that you could have one - and only one - car to last you the rest of your life, and the engine of that car started to overheat, would you take measures — using “best available knowledge” — to do whatever you could to remedy the source of overheating so that the engine would not permanently seize?
    
    There are any number of other variables that can be brought into any discussion, and for years I have watched with interest the gyrations of earth's magnetic poles.
    
    But when secondary and tertiary variables (at least in-so-far as we can reasonably evaluate those variables now) become distractions from the urgency of keeping the engine from freezing, I have no interest in prioritizing distractions. (Honorable mention maybe but NO prioritization.)
    
    Not many years ago, the Chinese government was advancing a plan to build a massive damn that would flood extensive urban areas, necessitating the removal and relocation of more than 1 million people.
    
    To advance its propaganda campaign, the Chinese government (reminiscent of Trumpista logic) argued that the region-soon-to-be-flooded had been underwater during The Ordovician and therefore the government was only restoring the site’s ecological integrity.
    
    It is important to have an open mind, but not so open our brains fall out.
    
    I want to be clear than I am not attached to left wing positions except insofar as I see them being more coincident with truth than the alternatives.
    
    By my lights, Stephen Colbert was spot-on when he referred to Truth's "well-known left-wing bias."
    
    Similarly, I resonate with Rev. William Sloan Coffin's observation that "the heart leans to the left."
    
    However, when I do not see left-wing positions being more coincident with truth, I say so.
    
    Just yesterday, I sang Donald Trump‘s praises in no uncertain terms: https://paxonbothhouses.blogspot.com/.../i-applaud-donald...
