UK: Bizarre “Anti-Dog” Green Propaganda Guardian Article – “Not April Fools” – Claims Author! (10.4.2025)

This had nothing to do with dinosaurs farting, or cavemen learning to light fires. The author – Donna Lu – is being slightly naughty here, as she seems to be expressing (or at least aligning her writing) common anti-pet viewpoints held by many Chinese people, equating this with the latest ridiculous excuse for “morally-led” climate change propaganda. Dogs pissing on a lamp-post, or cats burying their crap in the dirt my not be appetising – but I would suggest that there is NO genuine scientific evidence to suggest it does – as this would be agreeing with insanity. Of course, why on earth the Guardian would print an article that is insulting to British sensitivities is bewildering – but then again – the Guardian continuously publishes racially motivated (anti-China) articles all the time, pretending this White racism is “informed opinion”. It is also astonishing that the narrative this writer is presenting suggests the land-mass of Australia – which is so huge it is mostly empty – is experiencing dogs randomly attacking humans! I was going to say you couldn’t make it up – but obviously somebody has!

Taklimakan Desert Evolution

China: Scientists Discover Age of Mid-Latitude Asian Deserts! (30.10.2024)

The research, titled “Spatial heterogeneity in the formation of large deserts in midlatitude Asia revealed by drill core evidence”, was published in the Science Bulletin this month.

“The climatic and environmental effects of dust aerosols significantly impact the global climate, biogeochemical cycles, marine ecosystems and even the global carbon cycle,” Wang said. He added that the research contributes to a better understanding of the long-term environmental changes in the deserts, a crucial source of dust for the Northern Hemisphere.

“Unravelling the history of the desert and its climate impacts will provide insights into how desert systems may respond to future climate changes,” Wang said, adding that the team will continue studying the drill cores to gain further insights into the formation and evolution of these deserts.

Around 50,000 Lived in Cahokia at its Peak!

Cahokia: Native Americans Lived in Cities – Climate Change NOT Responsible for Demise! (9.8.2024)

Natural climate change has always happened – and is happening now – with the caveat that certain Environmentalists now suggest that the agency of human behaviour also contributes to the process of climate change. Indeed, it has become stylish in certain quarters for climate change (natural or unnatural) to be blamed for environmental alterations that cannot be readily or conveniently explained. Until recently, the dominant hypothesis – presented as fact – was that the ancient (Pre-Colombian) City of Cahokia (located in the region of St Louis) had disappeared in the 1200s (13th century) exclusively due to climate change. New academic research, however, has provided reliable (objective) academic evidence that climate change was not partially (or entirely) responsible for the demise of Cahokia.
