$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('AdamB', '
')REALLY? What is it about a reasonable statement, one that even you and I might agree with (we believe in science) grossly disgust you? I have an entire career as a scientist, I can in no way even attempt to DENY such a statement. Never in my career did believing, and doing, and publishing science have anything to do with "deplorables" (whatever that is) or anyone NOT doing science being dumb.

What? You're having me all confused now. That's not at all what I was talking about.

You agree with me a circular definition does not hold up in science? It is not scientific?
You agree with me that the definition of a woman on the webpage of Stanford Medical Education is circular?
You agree with me that it's laughable for such a higher education institution to go with circular definitions?
You agree with me that educational institution are majority in control of liberals/democrat types?
You agree with me that such liberal/democrat types often show yard signs saying "we believe in science"?
You agree with me that all the above has NOTHING to do with self identifying?

That reminds me of some other libtard book from some negro phd about critical race theory. You know, the type of theory the democrats went full into. The phd was celebrated as some type of awakening hero. Reading the book he has the definition of racism in the book: A racists is somebody who is a racist (I don't remember exact wording). In a supposedly scientific book. From a phd. Laugh my ass off. I guess the guy got a phd not despite his skin color but because of it.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('AdamB', '

') The problem is women are a protected species.


Yeah, I think my wife and daugther might not like that particular angle. They aren't a different species, and object to the idea of needing the protection from us he-man types.

Yeah. Of course the strong independent girl-bosses/feminists of today don't like the idea.
But at the of the day you can't beat biology. Women are physically weaker than men and just because of that are more vulnerable.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('AdamB', '
')Do you have a problem if someone identifies as a woman not because they wish to be a peeping Tom,

Fundamentally I don't have a problem with that. But how do you distinguish the good from the pervert?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('AdamB', '
')but because they actually DO identify as a woman?

But what is a woman? A woman is somebody who identifies as a woman ain't no definition.
And even if you identify as a woman or minotaur. Don't expect me to take part in your illusion.

Again, you can identify as whatever you want. But the consequences in society matter. There's women's sport, women's bathroom, women's showers, women' prison women's shelter etc. for a reason. Do you really feel comfortable for any men able to walk into those just by saying he's a woman?

That isn't a law.

I'm aware of that.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('AdamB', '

Crazy, isn' it? There's laws proposed requiring you to deny reality. Do you comprehend the craziness of this?

We had stuff like that before:

Get off your knees and you too can be exceptional in many other ways. You forgot about everything on the flip side as well, but obviously you can't talk about that because then your country looks like exactly what you are. People servicing a King because they lack anyone with cajones on the entire continent. You know Lucky, you and your neighbors.

I know a few people who are arseholes. But neither a woman nor an arsehole needs to tell me what they are, it's obvious for all to see. If a woman has to tell me their a woman then I know instantly that they are a Liar, and a Pervert!

Australia, Queensland, 70% coal fired power. makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside :)

As with most things, Lucky feels good about his country having less of something. In this case, about only having the 3rd largest coal reserves on the planet.

Who...as usual...is #1?

Why the country who threw off the King that still rules his land, and that Lucky happily services on his knees like the rest of his countrymen.

The US, of course.


Australia: Land of the Less Coal, and where the men have calluses on their knees....

Without coal, it's gonna be lights out for most of the western world.

Coming to a city near you soon.

Good thing the US has far more coal than Australia should it need it. Of course, we also produce more oil than every other country in the world. And of course we also produce more natural gas than any other country in the world.

Sounds like no lights out for America! As far as Australians?

Back to their prison colony roots?

The media Lies are Shrill. No more Coal, Everyone is abandoning Coal. But if you dig a little deeper you find the truth.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I')ndia's 1.3% increase in coal consumption reflects its continued industrialization and the challenges of meeting rapidly growing electricity demand with alternative sources. While India has made impressive strides in renewable energy deployment, particularly solar, coal remains the backbone of its power generation capacity.

China's modest 0.5% reduction in coal consumption is noteworthy given its position as the world's largest coal consumer. However, this slight decline is insufficient to offset increases elsewhere, particularly given China's dominant market share. Chinese energy policy decisions continue to have outsized impacts on global coal markets.

European coal usage has increased primarily due to significantly below-average wind production in 2025, highlighting the vulnerability of renewable-heavy grids to weather variability. Several European nations have temporarily reactivated previously decommissioned coal plants to ensure energy security amid natural gas supply concerns.

"The regional variations in coal consumption tell a nuanced story about the global energy transition," observes climate policy analyst Rebecca Chen. "While the overall trend is concerning from a climate perspective, it reflects legitimate energy security concerns that can't simply be dismissed."

Even in America they are wising up, but that will only last until the next Biden/Obama takes the chair, then it will all be thrown into reverse because it seems that political party is hell bent on destroying the nation. Very odd that?

Will coal become the new normal for Europe?
A good article.

I think, and it's just an extrapolation of common sense, and Occam's razor, that there are two competing factions on the Planet. One, reflected in the actions of Australia, China, India, and such just want to keep the lights on while they can, for us current generations, and to hell with the rest. The other faction sees the ultimate demise of civilization due to the loss of fossil fuels and sort of wants to get it over and done with now, probably so they will have abundant fuels for their own private dynasties. Neither is a real solution to the problem though, and I can see advantages from each perspective. But the Human population explosion of the last 80 years will have to be addressed one way or another and neither plan seems to care about that aspect of the dilemma.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('dashster', 'I')f it weren't bad enough to have Peak Oil looming combined with eternal population growth, coal and natural gas could peak very close to the same time. The Energy Watch Group (which was early on Peak Oil thanks to tar sands/fracking/NGLs) predicts coal will peak in 2025 and natural gas in 2020.


Does "The Energy Watch Group" include any of the uninformed twits who got peak oil so wrong? Because that would discredit the entire "group", having folks who couldn't shoot straight when it comes to oil expanding their proven ignorance to other fossil fuels.
