Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for September 08, 2024

(sighs) Now I have to go look up “burying the lede”.

what’s the ‘lede’? i prefer this analogy though, facts can be boring. lol.

You’re welcome King Neptune

We have one vote in favor from the God of the Atlantic. Now, how does Namaka, Goddess of the Pacific vote?

Lessons in mythology.

It used to be called “burying the lead,” meaning not beginning—that is, leading—the news story with the important point. I’ve no idea when journalism started spelling it “lede”, or why.

The lede? ‘the opening sentence or paragraph of a news article, summarizing the most important aspects of the story.’ So what did he say?

It is the way Eddie speaks, you glazed over ‘theah’, ‘Fingah’, ‘Fah’. I probably missed others as well.

Someone will make this political.

Before human beings started burning stuff, the Earth’s climate was both stable and ideal: Never too hot. Never too cold. Always just right.

It’s Poseidon, folks. None of this anemic Roman stuff.

This kind of presentation of the problem possibly could become a way to present the climate change problem in a way that actually would get people’s attention. First a chuckle or laugh and then maybe a H-m-m-m-m- I wonder . . .

Couldn’t hurt to try.

I only take Neptune seriously if he has his pitchfork with him

Sheesh.

Climate changes. It has long before mankind trod upon the Earth. It has been driven by many factors, solar activity, proximity to the moon, volcaninc activity, et al. Proof that human activity has any appreciable effect on the climate is just not there. Yet. Show me some proof. Not the consensus of scientists nonsense most people cite. A consensus does not prove anything. Testable hypotheses with repeatable results are proof.

So well named a boat!

That would have been too easy.

Much more likely to be volcanic action BENEATH the glacier.

Yes. I need a slice of government propaganda from my daily cartoon strip.

There are those who find catastrophe as a good thing. So be careful.

Ah, the “Man-Made” climate hoax propaganda continues.

Climate change is a natural phenomenon and not meaningfully impacted by man. The hoax is all about securing more control to elitists who seek to depopulate the planet and make serfs of those who remain.

The Antarctic ice sheet continues to grow back on it normal cycle towards above normal levels. It oscillates over a decade or two. That is because the earth has homeostatic correcting mechanisms for climate. See: usicecenterDOTgovSLASHProductsSLASHAntarcTrendGraph

Further, the Greenland Surface Mass Balance is greater now than in 2012-2013- all is normal there too.

After 35+ years of nonstop scandals, nonstop frauds, and a hundred percent failure rate of the predictions of global warming catastrophe, anyone who still believes in “climate change” (aka OMG! Imminent! Global! Catastrophe!) is a willfully ignorant moron. I have yet to meet any of the True Believers who actually knows the core scientific hypothesis behind this massive fraud.

Obviously it is NOT a hoax, and the Loch Ness Monster did NOT fake the moon landing.

Two entities who know the planet is warming at a rapid pace and scrambling to deal with the consequences: the Pentagon and the insurance industry.

Good laugh

And here, all along, I always thought that it was bury the lead not bury the lede. Learned something new, it seems

Nothing wrong with discussing so called climate change. I believe it’s natural, not man made. Only God can change it to the degree that others want to be alarmed about. If you look at any timeline of pictures of coastlines, there has been more building going on on shorelines than more water taking said shorelines. Sun activity and volcanic activity causes more change than cows farting or gasoline powered cars being driven. I will not be driven to alarm or fear, or driven to change my ways, just because a few bought and paid for scientists declair it so, or some politician who flies everywhere says it’s so. Other than that, I love Eddie and his adventures and story telling.

tnx WM, liked your gift. and gotta say lotta today’s sunday comics are extra fine.

So Eddie is more the “National Enquirer” type than the “National Geographic” from the sound of it… Whole different style of journalism!

it’s "burying the lead ‘, a newspaper editor’s comment about the proposed article.

Who came first Benchy or Eddie?

I like King Neptune.

It’s journalism slang for headline.

How about that boat name, “anoesis”?

consciousness that is pure passive receptiveness without understanding or intellectual organization of the materials presented.

(Merriam-Webster.com Medical Dictionary, Merriam-Webster, >

Yes, ruining the climate with all the fossil fuels used to produced and build the wind and solar farms, and charge the electric vehicles. That’s right. Those charging stations are usually hooked up to a coal or natural gas powered electricty system.

All the more for us humans to pollute though…

Humans are a cancer on the planet and MAGAts are the most malignant type.
