Elon Musk's Unbelievably Simple 12-minute Break Down on Climate Change[

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKCuDxpccYM&t=598s

Elon Musk breaks down climate change for students at The Sorbonne in Paris (France's Harvard) right before the historic COP21 climate change conference in which *all* nations signed the now historic Paris Agreement in 2015 to reduce carbon emissions below 2C, and preferably under 1.5C. 

This channel believes that this is one of the best basic explanations on climate change ever given in a short amount of time.  Enjoy!

Sorry,but it's buried somewhere in over 1,000 posts.    Buried is the appropriate word.to describe your post.  I still can't find it.   That's the problem with endless threads that go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on for years into infinity.    Interesting and timely posts can't be easily spotted when buried in never ending OP's in threads on boards that can sometimes go back for decades!

If the internet had been develop a century ago I can just imagine a lead threat announcing the new Model T car that now has 1 million, 250 thousand posts.     Find the post that mentions the new and improved crank.  Good luck.

Are you claiming those 14,000 scientists are wrong and you are right?    Your credentials please.   A point by point penetrating fact and science based refutation of the scientists statement by you would be considered.   Can you do that?  Probably not.  Wearing a Trump campaign button isn't sufficient for us pro-science people.

Israel: Pfizer vaccine allows infection but prevents severe illness

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics … d=msedgntp

A new study released this week from Israel's Health Ministry found that while the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is highly effective at preventing severe COVID-19 cases caused by the delta variant, it was much less effective than the health agency previously thought at protecting people from infection.

The study, conducted from June 20 to July 17, with results released in a report Thursday, found that the two-dose Pfizer-BioNTech inoculation was roughly 88 percent effective at preventing hospitalization due to the delta variant and about 91 percent effective at protecting against severe cases.

However, the Israeli health agency said that for symptomatic COVID-19 cases, the vaccine was found to offer just about 41 percent protection against the delta variant, with an overall effectiveness of 39 percent for preventing delta variant infections.

The new percentage is much lower than the 64 percent effectiveness against delta variant infections that Israel reported earlier this month.

The previous figure drew widespread skepticism from health experts, who argued that mRNA vaccines like the Pfizer shot have repeatedly been shown to offer strong protection against COVID-19 variants.

The initial Israeli report was also challenged by a Public Health England study released Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine that found that the two-dose Pfizer vaccine was 88 percent effective against the delta variant.

In comparison, the U.K. health agency said that the AstraZeneca vaccine was 67 percent effective at preventing infection from the delta strain.

Ran Balicer, chairman of Israel's national expert advisory team on the COVID-19 response, said in a statement along with the Thursday report that their data could have been skewed, citing the ways in which vaccinated groups of people were tested versus those who had not been vaccinated.

"The heavily skewed exposure patterns in the recent outbreak in Israel, which are limited to specific population sectors and localities," mean that some factors may not be accounted for, he said, according to Bloomberg.

"We are trying to complement this research approach with additional ones, taking additional personal characteristics into account," Balicer added before noting that "this takes time and larger case numbers."

Pfizer said in a Friday statement that it was confident in the protection offered by its two-dose vaccine, with BioNTech telling Bloomberg that it was reviewing the Israeli government's data.

Israeli studies on the vaccine's effectiveness against the delta variant were previously used by Pfizer earlier this month to suggest that people may eventually need a booster shot, though U.S. health officials have said it is not necessary at this time.

The CDC is an USA institution.   Do you or Calliban have a UK medical link indicating that 60% of UK Covid-19 hospital admissions are for people who have had both shots of the Covid-19 Phizer or Moderna vaccines?   Perhaps this one?    https://www.gov.uk/coronavirus

Thanking you or Calliban in advance for the medical link.

Some 60% of COVID hospital admissions in the UK are in double vaccinated people.  That pours cold water over what Edward Heisler posted at the start of this thread.

We have not had a pandemic.  Most of those that have died were older than average life expectancy.  Old people die.  That happens.  It is a fact of life.

No credible medical links with documented facts have been provided in support  of your claims.

David Frum is not a leftist or liberal opponent of the Republican Party.  He is a long-time conservative Republican leader and former speech writer for President George W. Bush.  There clearly isn't much left of the Republican Party.  It's dead, buried and gone forever.

Are you disputing the CDC and Surgeon General of the United States??

If so, what are your medical credentials?
