50 years of failed eco predictions

I like this from Quora:

What is an example in which the entropy of a system decreases? Why is the second law of thermodynamics not violated?”

It’s lunch time. I’m eating a sandwich. One system —my body— will use the energy and the nutrients in that sandwich to increase the order within my body or, at a minimum, to reduce the amount that my entropy would have increased today if I didn’t eat.

The key is that my body is not an isolated system. My body interacts with the world around me. While my entropy may go down, the entropy of the larger world goes up. I like this example because my body’s entropy decrease is hard to see. But the sandwich’s entropy increase is pretty noticeably — it goes from individual layers of bread, ham, cheese, and mayonnaise to uniform brown poop. I can’t calculate either entropy change, so I like an example where the visuals are in the right order.

Very simple concept that few on this forum can comprehend. Makes them almost illiterate . How can one not understand simple physics?

Just wanted to share this with everyone :)

It honestly feels like one of those rapture cults which gather together every few years because they are convinced the rapture is going to happen right then and there.

In addition to that just to think the lawlessly hacked in Putin's piece tRump and his un American mob almost destroyed the EPA that also had global environmental implications:

Trump has declared war on the EPA: 5 chilling examples

While running for president, Donald Trump threatened to virtually eliminate the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, leaving only “little tidbits.”

Scott Pruitt, Trump’s EPA administrator, has been tasked with the job of tearing down the agency from within. This is the man who sued the EPA 14 times – with strong financial backing from companies seeking to weaken clean air and clean water standards – when serving as Oklahoma’s Attorney General.

The president has used deception to reassure the general public that critical environmental laws will continue to protect public health, and is now taking our country in a dangerous direction.

Here are five ways he and Pruitt will go about weakening the agency responsible for keeping our air clean, drinking water safe, and toxic chemicals from harming our families."

This is again comparing two different systems as if they were the same system. Can't do that in thermodynamics. You do, however, have the right idea when considering a system with a given sandwich, the body, and a place to poop.

Entropy increases. Indeed, no one gets out of this life alive.

Putin wants Democrats in power. He's said so several times. Trump is not a Democrat.

Good. The EPA should be destroyed. It is unconstitutional.

Good. The EPA should be destroyed. It is unconstitutional. Congress never had the authority to create the EPA in the first place.

Yes. Biden is indeed (actually his handlers, the Democrat party) is taking this country in a dangerous direction.

The EPA has cleaned no water, and cleaned no air. Chemicals are not toxic unless you mishandle them. YOU are made of chemicals...did you know that?

No , Obama declared war on American citizens when he militarized the EPA. Trump was merely defending .
The EPA was completely out of control under Obama. He even used the EPA to circumvent Congress to make unconstitutional laws. WOTUS eventually would have been struck down in court had hrc been elected. Trump truly saved us from the EPA.

No offense, but you need to get out of this discussion. It’s obvious you no clue about S-B . Stop embarrassing yourself.

Um I took a thermodynamics course in college.

When you consume bullshit, of course your ignorance and idiocracy get increased. The rest will be expelled.

As a whole, entropy does not decrease.

Look fool, "everyone is free to wear a mask", yet asswipes like you will continue to say masks don't work,

Masks do not filter out viruses. Their pores are far too big and viruses are far too small.

Not a lie. See the engineering specs of masks. See basic mathematics. See the specs of viruses.

The end I prefer is eternal life with my Creator.

What you cannot seem to grasp, or even have the ability to do so, or the compassion for others, is if you want to kill yourself, go for it. When it comes to killing others because of your lack of concern, then it needs to be mandated.
Click to expand...
You don't have compassion for others. You only care about advancing Satan's agenda (iow, tyranny, fear, control, compulsion, ...).

Old Trapper said:
If those procedures had been followed last year, instead of pandering to fools like you, just think of how many lives could have been saved.
Click to expand...
Zero. Covid does not kill people.

mask wearing does not stop viruses.
social distancing does not stop viruses.
lockdowns do not stop viruses.
economic shutdowns do not stop viruses.
plastic wraps/barriers do not stop viruses.
latex gloves do not stop viruses.

Just think of how many lives could've been saved if you didn't drive people into depression, drugs, alcohol, and suicide by taking away their jobs/businesses/livelihoods due to your irrational fear of COVID.

If the school wants to protect their students, and staff, who are you to deny them that right?

If the parents want to protect the mental and physical health of their children (by not mind fucking them to be afraid of the world around them, by not forcing them to inhale their own CO2 while depleting their O2 levels, and by not forcing them to inhale the bacteria that has festered on their masks), who are you to deny them that right?

Old Trapper said:
So, it is you that is forcing your f**ked up will on them.

No, it is YOU who is forcing your fucked up will on them. YOU are the one being tyrannical. YOU are the one being compulsive and controlling. YOU are the one living life in fear. YOU are the one who is promoting the ways of Satan.

Old Trapper said:
One of the good things about the recent surge is that 99% of the cases are among the unvaccinated. Stupid is as stupid does, and it will catch up to them.
Click to expand...
Made up numbers based on manipulation, yet ANOTHER "way of Satan".

Handfuls of Demonkkkrat representatives from Texas, and White House aides, all came down with COVID even though all of them had supposedly been vaccinated. Do they all constitute the "remaining 1%"?? It's funny how a much larger percentage of TX representatives and White House aides came down with "breakthrough" cases, yet I'm supposed to believe that "only 1%" of cases are "breakthrough cases"... In short, YOU ARE BEING LIED TO... YOU ARE BEING MANIPULATED... Wake up!!

Old Trapper said:
IMO, since beds in hospitals are coming up short, I think they should be reserved for the vaccinated, and people needing surgery, and fools like you can set in the hallway.
Click to expand...
I thought you just told me that 99% of cases are from UNVACCINATED folks?? There are nearly zero vaccinated people in hospital beds according to you, REMEMBER??? This is what happens when you allow the Ministry of Societal Manipulation (MSM, or iow "media") to do your thinking for you... you end up saying and believing stupid shit like this.

The "hospitals overflowing" bit is a complete and utter lie too... We've been told that they've been "overflowing" for a year and a half now, whether that be in the middle of Winter when infections are at their highest or whether that be in the middle of Summer when infections are at their lowest. I'm supposed to believe that, in BOTH cases, hospital beds are "overflowing". What a load of bullshit!
 
More like 50 years of failed ECONOMIC predictions....

Like how wealth would trickle down (it didn't)...

Like how increasing supply increases demand (it doesn't)...

Like how cutting taxes leads to increased investment (they don't)...

Like how tax cuts pay for themselves (they never do).
