The benzene contamination in food comes from the pollution, and plastic wrap. Yeah, if you make a highly processed food using dirty water, in a factory filled with fumes, and then wrap it in questionable plastic and then cook it over flames it might not be good for you. "its presence in foods has been attributed to various potential sources: packaging, storage environment, contaminated drinking water, cooking processes, irradiation processes, and degradation of food preservatives such as benzoates." It is funny that you compare oil use to cigarette smoking. There is no doubt cigs cause death. From that same paper it says 99% of our benzene exposure was inhaled. Since I don't smoke my best way to reduce toxic exposure to eliminate the other sources as best I can.

Ecocharger + 1,515 DL Wednesday at 06:31 PM (edited) The wind energy system is already winding down with the change in federal direction. https://oilprice.com/Alternative-Energy/Wind-Power/Orsteds-US-Struggles-Deepen-as-Trump-Derails-Offshore-Wind-Ambitions.html "Orsted announced a $1.68 billion impairment charge on its US offshore wind projects due to rising interest rates, seabed lease issues, and delays in the Sunrise Wind project. President Trump's executive order halting new offshore wind leases in federal waters and suspending permits and loans for wind projects further impacted the renewable energy sector. Shares of Orsted and the iShares Global Clean Energy ETF (ICLN) fell sharply on the news, and Wall Street analysts expressed concerns about the future of the US offshore wind industry." "Storm clouds continued to gather for the Danish company after Trump's executive order on Monday, which suspended new offshore wind lease sales in federal waters and halted the issuance of approvals, permits, and loans for both onshore and offshore wind projects. Trump's announcement weighed on renewable shares, sending iShares Global Clean Energy ETF (ICLN) slightly lower in premarket trading. ICLN shares have slid for 3.5 months on the anticipation that Trump will dial back green energy spending. Shares are now trading near 2020 lows."

So much for energy freedom. Remember the time while freedom and free enterprise was a thing? Such horrible logic "bans on oil development on federal land are bad,but bans on windmills are okay."

Quote:" Windmills can be unsightly but so are oil wells, and oil spills, explosions, and all that. Wildfires are not something I can directly control.

Windmills and their experiment on sonic wave might have changed patterns of wind, direction, etc while sonic wave experiment is killing aquatic lives. - imagine when wind flowing through modern windmill, how would the direction be? Side way, where wind touches the pointy blades and move turbine? Perpendicular , where wind hits turbine directly from the front and somehow turns it? Either way, circular motion of wind forms around turbines. Could this form resistant to wind flow? Consequently, changing climate and wild lives near wind farm and beyond? - although oilspill is disastrous, most might be caused by natural calamity, minority on human sabotaging act. 2. The new culprit of climate change has been identified. German-german jews who declare themselves master of all races, who have plan for all mankind, and who promote helenic spirit of uniformity through imitating and worshipping their culture are to be blamed. Germany has 10-12% of green or forest coverage before decades of reforestation. Promotion of copying or imitating them, 70-90% of the world has 0 to 20+% of green or forest coverage. To support it, why was climate change not obvious until industrial revolution? Answer: buffer was available to neutralize the usages of fossil fuel until massive industrialization and social development or expansion were happening after WWII. What buffer? Forest! Trees! Gone! Therefore, german master race thingy, german-german jews conspiracy and their third, fourth, fifth reich who conspire to this uniform copying ideology should be made to pay the world for remediation with all they have, underground and above ground. Who is ruthless to competitors? Jews. Who was inhumane towards their own kind during WWII? Jewish doctors, german jews, german. After 6 millions of killing of own, other numbers with other races would be shrugged with a reply:" what about 6 million of lives compared to those?" Who forces companies to adopt net zero programme and go green with half baked technologies? Jewish owned banks or initiatives, master race colony and followers. The right way is to build a working example. Examine the outcome and shortfall for a 10 years. Shall working well, promote it to encourage uptakers. Not by force. When offsprings of rich are deprived off their birth right to inheritable wealth, they are probably just arrogant imbeciles who believe they are higher than thou and born to be god-like, but actually could function worse than a human beggar or a male/ female pushie seller, is it not?? Nutshell, why should you follow their order or instruction??! Stand up for yourself as human beings with clear sense of right and wrong, courage to do the right things, bravery to resist the wrong and return justice where it is due... When these restored, you will have plenty of rightful money to be earned or shared, wrongful intention and wealth crushed to bits.

With just 5 persons to lead and their younger generation or offsprings, they own federal banks of nearly every country in the world, major banks and investment companies, 90% of oil production or fields in USA etc. They own the world, in another word.

Ecocharger + 1,515 DL 13 hours ago The new initiatives of the incoming Trump administration may offer the opportunity to discuss the reality of the alarmist rhetoric which has come to dominate the discussions of climate change. This will include providing a forum for a more reasoned and critical stance on the existing paradigms regarding the role of atmospheric CO2 and methane , and including atmospheric H2O and solar variables into climate models. https://www.eenews.net/articles/trump-allies-want-to-resurrect-red-teams-to-question-climate-science/ "Project 2025 — the blueprint Trump allies wrote for his second term — lays out plans to cut out entire sections of the government’s climate work, particularly at NOAA and EPA. The proposal includes offering the public incentives “to identify scientific flaws and research misconduct” in the studies backing federal regulations, which would allow industry-funded researchers to sow doubt about peer-reviewed science. The red team/blue team exercise was crafted during Trump’s first term by a group of researchers critical of climate policy. For the effort to work properly and have merit, it needs a blue team of climate scientists who argue that the established research holds up, said Steve Koonin, a New York University physicist and architect of the red team plan in Trump’s first term. Koonin said the effort would require four or five researchers on each side. Koonin, a former chief scientist at BP, argued that the case for an adversarial review has only grown in the last four years. “I think we’ve got more data, more understanding, more misrepresentation in the media,” Koonin said. “But the essential mechanism is to get a credible blue team lined up.” Koonin said he expects that climate scientists would be hesitant to participate in such an effort. That’s why he wants the Trump administration to compel the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine to put together a team of researchers. They would then have to review the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report or the National Climate Assessment. “I think the right way to do it is to take a prior document — it could be the most recent National Climate Assessment — and simply go through that point by point,” Koonin said. The National Academies did not respond to a request for comment." 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marcin2 + 726 MK 3 hours ago Donald Trump is a for 4 years refreshment for these that look for comedy and laugh in global politics. He will be bring to the shadows of history with zero real achievements. The start of his term shows this. A lot of circus awe but short of substance. He will deport a lot of immigrants but not as much as you think. In other areas he is a loser from the start, cause his ideas are so out of this world. NATO is being accustomed to his foolishness, Commander in Chief China and Russia are happy cause he puts US in the line with best dcitatorships (Greenland circus) Americans are afraid cause again becoming a 3 world country citizens, like Africans without healthcare A lot of laugh out of Trump in this 4 years period. China and Russia wish him all the luck and imagination!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
