…is a horrible weapon of war that makes climate change worse, you might just be a Warmist
The blog of the day is Powerline Blog, with a post on Maryland Man possibly being sent to Liberia.
It’s dresses week.

When the Iranians stop playing.
Bingo!
MAGA47 Motherfucker!
The look…
when he found out.
Bwaha! Lol Allahu Ackbar!!
MAGA47 Motherfuckers!
Qatar has shut down it’s helium (He) production. Helium is an inert gas, atomic mass of 4, low boiling point, low density. Qatar produces over 1/3rd the world’s He, which is used in:
MRI Machines & Cryogenics: cools superconducting magnets in MRI scanners and NMR spectrometers.
Semiconductors & Electronics: protective atmosphere in the manufacturing of silicon wafers for computer chips, as well as in the production of fiber optic cables.
Welding: inert shielding gas in arc welding (TIG/MIG) to protect the metal from contamination.
Aerospace & Defense: Pressurizes ground and flight propellant tanks (liquid hydrogen/oxygen) and is used for purging systems in rockets.
Leak Detection: helium is used to detect leaks in high-vacuum equipment, containers, and pipelines.
Breathing Mixtures: Mixed with oxygen (Heliox/Trimix) for deep-sea diving to reduce the risk of nitrogen narcosis and decompression sickness.
Ballooning & Lifting: Used in weather balloons, surveillance blimps, because it is lighter than air and non-flammable.
Scientific Research: Used in particle accelerators and for maintaining low-temperature environments in scientific research.
Hospitals and clinics are being contacted about shortages.
Next: rare Earth minerals!!
As I’ve mentioned before, one of the sports we watch is bike races, European bike races. It’s the beginning of the season, and we had the Milano-SanRemo race on yesterday, and there’s some minor league race from Spain on right now. Lots of aerial coverage from helicopters or drones, and one thing I just noticed: even in more-liberal-than-the-US Europe, very few of the houses have solar panels mounted. I’ll occasionally see panels mounted on industrial buildings, but surely, surely! in warmer, sunnier countries like Italy and Spain, where solar panels would be the most useful, I’d have expected more solar panels than I’ve seen.
I’m not sure how even Mr Dowd could blame that on President Trump.
