Again time for apostacy. I've said before, I repeat here. I'm an engineer. If a thing is a thing, then its a measurable thing. I'm not commenting on climate change, or AGW. I'm just observing that catastrophizing bad weather is actual bullshit. Show the data extremeweather.thehonestbroker.org

I've some perspectives about China, being married to a Chinese family (yes, that's how it is) and living here intermittently. Chinese people are faecophilic. Evidenced by delicacies like stinky tofu and widespread consumption of washed, lightly cooked intestines. Stinky. But this is a surprise;
