Contrails to Steer or De-energize Hurricanes
LaurieAG replied to Harry Anastopoulos's topic in Earth Science
Probably better off using re entering space junk. Between the mid 1960's and the mid 1970's the central east coast of Australia had things called 'Cyclone banks' which were sand banks in the ocean that were 100 meters or so out from the normal beach break sandbanks which usually only broke (10 foot + waves) during cyclones. If you had started surfing there around 50 years ago you would know them well. After the mid 1970's they disappeared and haven't really come back yet, mainly due to sand dredging/bypass operations at two main river mouths since. Back then it was only the Apollo program that would dump stage 3 rocket boosters in the eastern pacific but now with China, the US and a couple of other countries having active space programs who knows.- 4 replies

LOL, I live at Rupert Murdoch's ground zero. Queensland Newspapers (QNP) was the last Murdoch family media asset that was sold to NEWS CORP. We've been aware of him and all of his buddies for ages and BTW, in Australia he keeps the left wingers in political power.

LOL, I didn't swallow the BS the mass media have been broadcasting.

The people who bought what the media was selling have already bought it.

Some people tend to discount the appeal of candidates who are not beholden to the vested interests of the mainstream political parties (who have both bases covered with only establishment candidates). Many people around the world (and the 8 million who didn't bother to vote for Kamala) wonder why the so called left wing US mainstream party supports a right wing regime that has no qualms with killing women and children en masse? Also, while people with aeronautical engineering qualifications and their friends might think the economy is great others, who's family future would be assured with a basic factory job and the ability to get to the first rung of the ladder, might have different opinions. There have been far too many right wing reforms pushed through around the world by nominal left wing political parties and people are getting fed up with it.

I actually got to know an old American friend of my dads pretty well, a retired professor from Kansas State, who holidayed at his place for the 2 weeks before the election and, while our media is just as bad as in the US, at least we didn't get all the advertisements, I think that was why he was here in the first place LOL.

You can't imagine half of it, watching the United States of America decay from a distance is very concerning for the rest of the world. I come from a country where we don't have a death penalty because if one innocent person should die due to a failure in the due legal process it would be one innocent death too many. I live in a state where the politicians socialised the power system and made the hospital system free after WWI SO THAT THE FASCISTS WOULDN'T TAKE THEM OVER. My family came to Australia from Ireland during the American Civil war and my grandfather wasn't born last century but the century before. I had a late great aunt who was born in the early 1890's and went to America as a young girl with her family in the late 1890's. She never married, became a nun, and in the early 1960's became a presentation nun called Sister Saint Anthony who resided at San Antonio TX until she passed away in the mid 1990's in a hospital in Fort Worth aged 104. iNow, I've also known you for nearly 20 years and your attack is out of character, in fact the entire way the right of the left is blaming the real old left of the left (e.g. Bernie Sanders) who deserted them (about 8 million of them who didn't vote and the others who went to Trump) because they wouldn't do anything about the slaughter of the innocents occurring in Gaza. Also if Russia drops atomic missiles on Keiv/Kyiv, it won't start WWIII so the right of the left has instigated another potential massacre of the innocents due to its petty political machinations. My late great aunt is probably turning in her grave at this very moment, over what a once great country and a great political party has stooped to in its decline. Bernie Sanders

About the only thing I will say about Critical Thinking on this site is that if others have other accounts on the other site I posted this hypothetical on it seems as if none of them use the same name on both sites. That means this site is where they say things that they wouldn't say on the other site and this site is where they dishonestly troll their biased opinions. BYW, it appears that NATO leaders are worried that they will be drawn into a global nuclear war if RUSSIA retaliates on either the UK or US mainland.

Just for those who are a bit slow. So the big question is, if Cuba launched Russian missiles at US mainland targets, HOW MANY NUCLEAR WEAPONS WOULD THE US LAUNCH AT CUBA?

But remember the US is the only country who has used nuclear weapons on a country without nuclear weapon(s), it set the precedent.

Raphaelh42, some Australian states like Queensland have voluntary assisted dying (euthanasia) legislation for people who meet the eligibility criteria. You may find some answers to your philosophical questions in the structure of the following link. Eligibility criteria for voluntary assisted dying

You've never worked in the public service have you? Obviously the American people didn't choose to restrict the new administration by only allowing it to control one of the two houses.
