But the article is about Write-Only Memory. It can't be read, it can only be written to.

Well, I read it in german (for the first time) when I was 14. Which is like 35 years ago. I found it a nice story, I don't care about 'how a book is written' the more complicated the better, imho.
Obviously I read it several times when I was young, just don't know who in my family owns the book right now.

That's deliberate. You have to wait for it.

And said Senator's ass-hattery was covered here in February.

You should not read the synopsis, but the book.
It is quite interesting, good story and well written (depending on translation perhaps).

The point is: we don't know if they where or not.
The fact that the romans did cultivate wine in brittany, UK not france (like we do since a few years, or even a decade again) tells us nothing about floodings anywhere else on the globe.
It tells us nothing about dimishing glaciers (as those periods where rather short) nor tell they us anything about the amount of sea level rising, as at that time not enough arctic ice melted.
Also: quite a time ago someone linked reports from China at that time, IIRC they reported about droughts and famines.

Unfortunately you did not read the links you posted otherwise you would have noticed that my comment about el nino/el nina.

Your links about tornados are irrelevant, as the destruction they made during the period where you claim their frequency was the lowest: was the highest ever recorded.

Ntw: we talked anout hurricanes. Bringing in Cyclones and Taifunes make sit only even more complicated for our parent :)

And it seems for you, too.

A storm brewing somewhere does not know how warm or cold it is at the pole.

And the pole temperature is irrelevant. Relevant is the difference in temperature between lower atmosphere and upper atmosphere. The warmer the water/air the faster it is rising upward, the stronger the storm is yielded from that.

Actually a no brainer if people had the simplest of education. I don't get it, I learned that 40 years ago in school, 5th or 6th class or something.

The way how storms form has not changed the recent 100 or 200 years.

Those warm periods where not created by human made CO2, so what is your point?

Do you really wish to have such a "warm period" on top of our current "global warming"?

In german we have the saying: putting oil into the fire ...

Hurricanes are created alone by water temperature.

So more hot water (or the hotter the water) the more hurricanes.

No idea what you mean with "driven" ... you want to tell us they drive further north if the temperature difference between poles and equator is higher?

Interesting ... but not relevant. (And likely wrong anyway)

Yeah, a novice tells us why "theories" are wrong.

Hurricanes happen in the northern hemisphere, usually golf of Mexico and north of it.

If you want to talk about storms in the US and around you should focus on Tornados anyway.

So, why do I complain? Because you bring in El Nina and El Nino "years" or "phenomena" ... which are phenomena limited to the southern hemisphere like Peru, Chile, Brazil, Argentina and the south Atlantic ... they have absolutely no influence on hurricanes or the weather in the US.

So much to your +5 Informative

Not to mention his bullshit about fighting global warming with a $3B investment. Collected all the publicity and goodwill when he made that announcement and never followed through or did anything of significance

It does not matter WHY someone wants to use a barely floating boat and travels over the mediterranean sea and "invades" Spain, Italy, Greece or ex. Jugoslavia.

They simply come and are not welcome, so from migration they sooner or later switch to invasion.

Regardless of that, doubling the population or tripple and quadruple it in europe would cause trouble. Currently we don't produce enough food for such a "migration".

My point was: you already have a fence at your south border ... so will other nations build up fences.

Hence the people who try to migrate will end up in concentration camps.

I did not say that inflation is a cause to hoard.
I said: regardless of inflation or deflation in both cases there is reason to hoard. While our parent claimed it is only true during deflation phases.
