Great things are happening in Washington, DC

I don’t want to sound like a cheerleader, but, President Biden is making everyday exciting. Between him, Senate Majority Leader Schumer and Speaker Pelosi there is much that will happen to benefit the people, hence, the country.

I strongly believe the threat of SARS-CoV-2 will be over by this time next year. I still am concerned about the children’s well being. My estimation was that as soon as the adults were immune then the children are safe. Now, I am hearing that immune people can spread the virus. For me that is counter-intuitive. Once people are immune they have no virus to spread. I am hoping this idea of immunity spreading the virus is just an old wives tale. 

I am hopeful more than ever that the climate crisis is on its way to being resolved. The problem strangely enough is still the persistence of the oil and gas industry. When will they get the message that the age of oil is over. Evidently, there are still oil leases being sold out of the Interior Department. I thought all that was on hold so proper assessments can be made. When does the corruption stop?

That brings me to the stratosphere. Yes, Earth’s stratosphere. I am still reading. This is the picture that is starting to come together. There are two studies that address a change in the stratosphere both in water vapor and temperature and get this after a decrease in water vapor in 2001, the increase started in 2002 and is continuing. 2002 is the year when the vortexes appeared in the North Atlantic and North Pacific. In other words the tropospheric vortices interface with the stratosphere just enough through the Tropopause to lend water vapor to its gaseous contain. That is my estimation and not the words of either study. 

The problem as I am concerned is that it had been nearly two decades of vortex dominance of the troposphere. The unhinged polar vortex has existed year after year now for six years. There is a consistent mixing of the two Earth atmospheres and one study suggests the Mesosphere as well. It is appearing to me to be a dire scenario that gives the impression of homogeneity becoming a threat to life on Earth. 

As soon as I find the evidence that I think exists I will put it here. I need to read through IPCC conclusions before I go much further with this, but, I believe it is time to admit the petroleum industry is adverse to life on Earth.

Thank you for your interest. 

Until later.

Any meeting with Biden...

 ...requires full social distancing and plastic barriers as well as masks. I remind that 69 Representatives and Senators have contracted COVID-19. All in all 123 Representatives and Senators have self-quarantined for one reason or another. 

A big room with high ceilings could accommodate a better meeting. A virtual  meeting would be best. A virtual meeting could accommodate Democratic leadership as well.
