  1. Ocean Currents

    by , 02-12-2024 at 04:14 PM (Memories of the 28th Century)
    There were several articles in my news feed about the Atlantic Ocean currents collapsing. It will be a disaster when the ocean currents collapse, because that will mean that the Earth has stopped rotating. Apparently, some people are pushing the idea that ocean currents are caused by something other than the Coriolis effect acting on the oceans.

    The ocean currents exist, because the water is not firmly attached to the solid Earth. At the Equator, the surface of the Earth is moving ...

    Plowshares into Swords

    I was planning to write about the reforestation of North America after the last glacial maximum. It is still going on, as the early cold weather trees continue to die off and leave space for hardwoods and warm weather trees. The process is clear to anyone who has thought about it or observed that while Maine was known as the Pine Trees there have been getting replaced by hardwoods. But anyone cane write that post, so I decided to write about beating plowshares ...

  5. Regarding Federal Reserve System

    by , 10-15-2023 at 05:45 PM (Memories of the 28th Century)
    I recently learned that there still are people who believe the conspiracy theory that the Federal Reserve System is privately owned. One need only read Title 12, Chapter 3 of the U.S. Code to read about its ownership and what it is supposed to be doing. Some background is necessary for the creation of the Fed to make sense.
